Chapter 77: A Chaotic Mess

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Possibly because Tang Hai had been a keeper for carnivores like tigers and lions, his current gaze was as fierce as a lion’s, as though he might open his bloodthirsty jaws in the next moment and sink his fangs into Xia Xin’s neck.

Instinctively, Xia Xin covered her neck and took a step back.

Lu Yuan also stood up, slamming the table, “You’ve worked here for five years, and I never imagined you were this kind of person. You even shifted your blame onto a young girl. Since you want to resign, then leave quickly. You’re not welcome here!”

Tang Hai emitted that chilling laughter again, saying, “I don’t want to leave now. I’ve decided to stay and watch how you all scramble like clowns to clean up tne mess.”

Lu Yuan, shocked, asked, “What are you up to?”

Tang Hai replied, “What am I up to? You’ll find out soon enough. You might as well take a look at the surveillance footage and see how your zoo has turned into chaos.”

Lu Yuan, increasingly infuriated, immediately brought up the surveillance footage. He saw the zoo in complete disarray. All the locks on the cages were like illusions; they automatically opened before the animals could even collide with them. Tang Hai had destroyed every single cage in the zoo.

Now, animals were running everywhere. The lions were under control, but there were still tigers, hippos, and more coming out of the cages, and wandering around the zoo. Visitors were panicking, running around, shouting in alarm. Their food lay scattered on the ground. The entire zoo looked like a mess, chaotic just like the streets in a post-apocalyptic movie.

The more Lu Yuan watched, the angrier he became. Pointing at Tang Hai, he scolded, “You lunatic, do you know what you’ve done? What if the animals harm the visitors?”

Tang Hai said, “Don’t act all righteous. Are you really worried about people getting hurt? You’re just concerned that, after these things happen, the zoo won’t be able to operate anymore.”

Lu Yuan looked at the young man before him in disbelief and asked, “How can you think this way about me?”

When Lu Yuan established the zoo, Tang Hai was his first employee. Back then, Tang Hai seemed honest and simple, exuding an aura of reliability.

Lu Yuan believed that having someone like Tang Hai, who loved animals, working at the zoo would ensure good care for all the animals and propel the zoo to greatness.

Back then, the zoo didn’t have many animals, and Tang Hai even accompanied Lu Yuan to other zoos to borrow more animals. It could be said that Tang Hai had been by Lu Yuan’s side throughout his journey to success. This was why Lu Yuan had such faith in Tang Hai.

As the zoo grew, Lu Yuan didn’t micromanage but instead treated Tang Hai well, allowing him to move freely throughout the zoo.

Lu Yuan was now infuriated, not just angry. Seeing Tang Hai transformed into this person, he was even angrier at himself. He was angry that he hadn’t seen through this person’s true nature in five years. More than anything, he was angry at himself for being fooled.

Lu Yuan was so upset that he almost lost his balance. Xia Xin hurriedly went forward to support him, helping him calm down. She said, “Mr. Lu, please calm down. Don’t let your anger affect your health because of someone like him.”

Tang Hai sneered, “What kind of person am I? I’m just magnifying your desires, merely showing you your dark side. Why can’t you accept it? When those thoughts arise in your hearts, why don’t you find them disgusting?”

Tang Hai suddenly looked at Xia Xin, a smug smile on his face and he said, “Oh, right, and your stinky dog.” ‘Layle?’ Xia Xin thought.

“Didn’t you always want to know who pulled its tongue out? Well, I’ll tell you. I pulled it out because it bit me! A dog that bites people recklessly doesn’t deserve to have a tongue! Not only did I pull out its tongue, but I also tortured it. I broke its leg and left it on the street to fend for itself. Since it doesn’t have a tongue anymore, there’s no point in being alive. It’s better off leaving this world, wouldn’t you agree?” said Tang Hai.

Xia Xin was infuriated.. She yelled, “You’re insane! You’re truly horrifying, to be so ruthless toward animals! And you call yourself a zookeeper!”
