Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Could it be that the value of New Star Association members is inherently higher than that of poachers?

Lin had his suspicions and, along with his teammates, watched as the helicopter slowly descended to the ground, the rotor blades gradually coming to a stop. From it emerged an ordinary, unremarkable man.

He wore simple clothes, blending into the crowd like a face in the crowd, without any notable features.

Yet, as he walked forward slowly, all members of the Investigation Department stood silently on either side, and those New Star Association members bowed their heads even lower, seemingly very afraid of this seemingly ordinary Minister Su Quan.

But under the watchful eyes of the Ninth Squad, Minister Su did not walk towards the New Star Association members kneeling on the ground. Instead, he smiled and walked straight toward them.

"Quick!"

"The Minister is coming to commend us!"

Everyone was already familiar with this procedure. They all straightened their backs, their arms hanging straight at their sides, their eyes shining with excitement, like soldiers awaiting a general’s review.

Lin’s eyes glittered with anticipation.

Although he hadn’t performed well in front of the prosecutor, getting Minister Su’s commendation would greatly benefit his future development.

Su Quan’s figure came closer and closer, his footsteps increasingly clear, causing everyone to become both nervous and expectant.

But Su Quan merely glanced at them, nodded, and then walked over to Chen Yuan, proactively extending his right hand: "Advisor Chen, long time no see."

The members of the Ninth Squad were close enough to Chen Yuan to clearly hear Minister Su’s words, and they reacted differently.

Li Junyue had long known that Chen Yuan knew Minister Su and had once considered the idea of leveraging Chen Yuan to get closer to the Minister, but eventually gave up.

Lin’s expression was exceptionally excited, as if a groundbreaking secret only he knew was finally revealed to the public, and he was eager to see his teammates’ reactions.

They must be shocked; these three are actually the legendary prosecutors.

But when Lin turned his head, he found his teammates with an expression like they had known the truth all along, calm and unsurprised.

Seeing Lin looking at him, a teammate beside him spoke with emotion: "You must be surprised too, that Captain Li actually knows the famous Advisor Chen."

Wait a minute?

Advisor Chen?

At that moment, Lin felt like he was the one left in the dark.

"Advisor Chen, I didn’t expect to meet you here." Su Quan gazed at the black-haired youth before him, full of emotion.

Back then, when he went to Qin Province on a mission, he inadvertently faced off against Chen Yuan, becoming the assessment officer for Chen Yuan’s certification as a mid-level Beastmaster.

That encounter left a deep impression on him of this Beastmaster, and he once considered recruiting him into the Investigation Department, but unfortunately, Chen Yuan’s ambitions lay elsewhere, so he had to give up.

However, the recent reports from the Donghuang Daily brought Chen Yuan’s name to the forefront nationally. This Beastmaster, who achieved great success in multiple fields, had once again come into his sight.

This time, he had already been promoted to Minister of the Seventh Division of the Investigation Department, and Chen Yuan was now an Association Consultant for the Qin Province Beastmaster Association.

He had secretly sighed: If he had increased his recruiting efforts back then, would this amazingly talented Beastmaster have become a pillar of the Investigation Department?

But on second thought, as a Forest Ranger deeply rooted in Qinling, Chen Yuan fought against various evil forces that were damaging the local environment and ecology, a duty essentially similar to theirs.

Since both sides strive and work hard for the same goal, why force the other to join the Investigation Department?

A Qinling Forest Ranger was clearly Advisor Chen’s true calling.

But having a good relationship with this Advisor Chen was obviously beneficial for their Seventh Division. In case of tough situations, they could always call on him for help.

Thus, upon seeing Chen Yuan’s name on the external support list for this mission, Su Quan immediately headed over.

"Yes, Minister Su, I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence." Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

Su Quan waved his hand with a bright smile: "Just call me Su."

"Su." Chen Yuan responded, taking the opportunity to explain, "This time I came with friends for tourism, and unexpectedly ran into this situation."

"Oh? Which friends?" Su Quan asked with a smile.

Chen Yuan stepped aside, revealing Jiang Wenning and the other two behind him.

Jiang Wenning was neither humble nor overbearing, Chang Yuhuan nodded in greeting, but only Li Junyue stepped forward slightly, lowering his head: "Minister."

"Oh, so Captain Li is also a friend of Advisor Chen’s. I hadn’t heard about this before." A barely noticeable surprise flashed in Su Quan’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

The Investigation Department had strict requirements for mission execution. If it involved outsiders or requested external support, one had to apply to the Division and wait for approval.

Su Quan initially thought Chen Yuan accidentally stumbled upon this unexpected event and offered a helping hand, but it turned out he was a friend of Li Junyue.

This Captain Li, who had never left Yun Province since childhood, actually knew an Advisor Chen from far away in Qin Province?

Li Junyue’s expression remained unchanged, he had long considered how to answer this unavoidable question: "Minister, I used to love playing games, and I met Advisor Chen in a game."

"Hmm." Clearly uninterested in how they knew each other, Su Quan patted Li Junyue’s shoulder, a faint smile on his face, "Knowing Advisor Chen is very fortunate for you."

Li Junyue remained expressionless, but in his heart, he secretly agreed with this statement.

If he hadn’t met Chen Yuan and Jiang Wenning at the start, his path as a Beastmaster would certainly not have been as smooth as it is now.

Su Quan’s voice continued in his ear: "Advisor Chen is an outstanding Beastmaster, learn from him, and strive to become the backbone of our Investigation Department as soon as possible."
