Animal Whisperer: Take Back My Life and Love Chapter 239: The Parrot Patrol

The perfectly tailored uniform accentuated his superior physique, from the broad shoulders to the narrow waist. A plush, soft leopard tail hung behind him, adding a touch of primal wildness to his usual icy demeanor.

Standing side by side, one in black and one in white, one stern and one sweet, they looked like a pair of perfectly synchronized undercover animal agents.

Jacob stood to the side with his arms crossed, his face glowing with a pride that said, "As expected of my handiwork."

Barry glanced at himself in the mirror and commented flatly, "A lot of unnecessary bells and whistles."

Jacob's eyes widened in disbelief. Who was the one who insisted I come over to do the styling?! He was fuming, but he didn't dare say a word.

Barry tilted his head slightly toward Nancy. "So, what exactly is the mission today?" He raised an eyebrow, his tone skeptical. "Are we really... greeting guests?"

Nancy nodded vigorously and grabbed his wrist. "Of course it's real! Follow me!"

At exactly eight o'clock in the morning, the gates of Loren Zoo swung open!

A massive sea of people had already gathered outside. The queue of tourists snaked around the entrance—a spectacular sight. Some media outlets had even deployed drones for a live broadcast; the hype for this opening day was unprecedented.

However, where there are crowds, there are problems. Less than twenty minutes after opening, an emergency call from a ticket booth reached Nancy.

"Miss Nancy, it's bad! Several queues are falling apart because of people cutting in line! Arguments have broken out everywhere!"

"The scene is a complete mess right now!"

"Several children are crying from the noise. If this continues, it's going to turn into a physical fight!"

Nancy remained calm. "Don't panic. I'm sending the 'Animal Mediators' to handle it immediately."

She hung up and instantly connected to Master Crow's smart watch. "Emergency at the park entrance. Deploy the Parrot Persuasion Squad!"

Master Crow received the order, flapped his wings excitedly, and let out a loud caw into the sky: "Work time! We've got a big job!"

At the entrance of Loren Zoo, a heated argument was reaching its boiling point.

A gray-haired elderly man was gesturing wildly at a middle-aged woman. "I'm at this age and my rheumatism is acting up; I can't stand for long! Can't you show some respect?"

The lady had originally been kind enough to let him cut in front of her. However, the man had then signaled to his son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons, bringing a family of five into the line. This enraged the tourists behind her who had been waiting for over half an hour.

"You said it was just one person, how did it become a whole family?"

"We've all been waiting this long." What gives you the right to jump the line?"

The shouting grew more intense, and people began shoving. A brawl was imminent.

By the time Nancy arrived, the scene was chaotic. Worse, several media outlets were broadcasting live. One reporter was adding fuel to the fire for the camera:

"Are you seeing this, folks? This is the Loren Zoo that claimed it would provide a 'premium experience'! Such chaos on the very first day... the management's capability is truly worrying!"

The live chat exploded: "Management is terrible! I wouldn't dare bring my kids here!" "Just as I thought, 'influencer' zoos are unreliable!" "No one is even stopping the line-cutters." Is security just for show?"

At that moment, a park administrator stepped forward to mediate. "Sir, if you have mobility issues, we can provide a stool, but please have your family queue in order. We use a timed reservation system; the line moves fast and you'll be inside in ten minutes!"

Instead of listening, the man grabbed the administrator by the collar, eyes bulging. "Who do you think you are? You're in no position to lecture me!"

In this tense standoff, the sound of sirens approached from the distance. The man flinched and let go, though he still acted tough. "It's... it's a tiny issue... no need to call the cops!"

Two police cruisers arrived. As it happened, a gang of pickpockets had been active in the Qinglian District recently, targeting crowded areas. The zoo had coordinated with the police long before the event for security support.

The officers stepped out to calm the crowd, but they also looked around curiously. They had heard about the "Animal Detective Squad" and wondered if they'd see them in action.

One officer approached the man sternly. "Sir, please follow the rules and queue up!"

The man pulled back his hand resentfully, eyeing the officer's uniform. He suddenly raised his voice in a snide tone: "Oh, I heard the zoo director's brother is a cop!" Did you call your buddies over just to save your sister's reputation?"

He shouted toward the onlookers, "Everyone, look at this! Is this an abuse of power?" Using taxpayer money to act as private security for a family business?"
