73: He won't shed tears until he sees the coffin.

"Dragon Country has finally taken a step forward in animal protection. It's a bit late, but better late than never."

"Heh, is Dragon Country just putting on a show? Legislate on the surface, but can it actually be implemented? I hope it's not just for the international community to see."

"It's about time. I saw those cat abuse videos from Dragon Country before; I couldn't believe anyone could be so cruel. Now that there are legal constraints, I hope there will be fewer tragedies."

"Dragon Country's laws are always so extreme. Either they don't care, or they go straight to criminal penalties. Can't there be a middle ground?"

"Kudos to Dragon Country. I hope other countries can learn from this too. Animals aren't toys for humans; they should be respected."

"People in Dragon Country don't understand respect for life at all. This legislation is just for show. Disgusting!"

"Regardless of the motive, legislating to protect animals is a good thing. I hope it's truly enforced and not just a flash in the pan."

Countless cat and dog lovers spontaneously liked the official Longcheng accounts on TikTok, with the total number of likes on related videos quickly surpassing ten million.

Many more excitedly expressed their thoughts.

"Just because of this law, I'm moving to Longcheng!"

"Longcheng is a city with warmth!"

The Governor of Longcheng, who had been closely monitoring online public opinion, saw that most comments were praising the Longcheng municipal government, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

He had originally worried that the legislation would spark controversy, but he hadn't expected most people to support it.

This didn't just fulfill Miss Lei's request; it added a significant achievement to his political record!

Success!

A huge success!

The public response was even better than expected!

This move was absolutely right. It wasn't just a political achievement; it showcased Longcheng's civilized image to the entire country and even the world.

He couldn't wait to call Lei Jun and said excitedly.

"Miss Lei, good news!"

"The 'longcheng animal protection law' was officially implemented today. The online response has been fantastic—everyone is praising our Longcheng!"

On the other end of the line, Lei Jun, who was biting into a skewer of grilled squid, had her eyes light up upon hearing the news.

Implemented so quickly?

Great!

Now let's see how that pervert Yao Yuan can still be so arrogant. The law can finally punish him!

She felt that the pent-up anger in her chest could finally be vented.

"Well done. Very efficient."

Lei Jun swallowed the squid and loudly praised the Governor.

Hearing Lei Jun's praise, the Governor was overjoyed, but he quickly and humbly replied.

"Not at all, not at all. This is all thanks to you, Miss Lei. Your direction was clear; we were just executing your wishes."

"It is my honor to share your burdens, Miss Lei!"

He calculated in his mind that he must be more proactive in the future. As long as Miss Lei was satisfied, his future would certainly be bright.

Lei Jun knew what the Governor wanted to hear, so she followed his lead and gave him a few words of encouragement.

Then she instructed him that the follow-up implementation must keep up, so the law wouldn't just be an empty shell.

The Governor said loudly, "Rest assured, I've already made the arrangements. Tomorrow, I'll organize a special task force specifically responsible for the law's enforcement and supervision. I definitely won't let you down!"

Immediately after, Lei Jun called Director Wang.

"Director Wang, thank you for your hard work. You deserve a lot of credit for the 'animal protection law' being implemented so quickly."

Director Wang hearing these words from Lei Jun, suddenly stood up from his chair, his hands trembling slightly.

Miss Lei actually called him specifically to thank him?

He had worried before that he was just an assistant and would be forgotten, but now it seemed Miss Lei kept him in mind!

He was so excited that his voice trembled.

"It's no trouble at all, no trouble at all!"

"To be able to work for you, Miss Lei, is a blessing I, Wang, have earned over several lifetimes!"

"I do it willingly!"

"Not to mention this small matter, even if I had to go through fire and water, I wouldn't even blink!"

He thought to himself that as long as Miss Lei gave an order in the future, he would be the first to rush forward and never let anyone else beat him to it.

Lei Jun was amused by him, and her tone became even gentler.

"Don't say that; I've seen your efforts. For the subsequent enforcement of the law, I'll need you to cooperate more with the Governor."

"Rest assured, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

Director Wang thumped his chest and guaranteed.

After Lei Jun hung up, he was so excited that he spun around his office several times.

He couldn't help but hum an old song from years ago.

"We common folk are so happy today..."

The good luck of his lifetime had finally arrived.

Just then, a subordinate knocked and entered to report:

"Director, that Yao Yuan has been making a scene, saying we're illegally detaining him and threatening to have his lawyer colleagues sue us."

"We have indeed detained him for over 24 hours, and there's no legitimate reason to keep holding him. Should we let him go?"

Director Wang snorted coldly.

"Release him?"

"How could that be possible!"

"If it were yesterday, he really would have been helpless against this law-savvy pervert and could only watch him walk out brazenly."

"And then he would have been sued by this guy for illegal detention."

"But now the 'animal protection law' has been promulgated!"

"The evidence of Yao Yuan torturing and killing four thousand cats is conclusive; he is now a criminal suspect!"

Thinking of this, he felt full of confidence and a sense of vindication.

"Release him? Keep him locked up!"

He said decisively.

"Tell him, sue if he wants to!"

"Spread the word: the 'longcheng animal protection management regulations' have been officially implemented. Yao Yuan is suspected of violating these regulations, so our detention is completely legal!"

Hearing this, the subordinate breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded to convey the order.

Director Wang composed himself and decided to go meet this arrogant fellow in person.

He wanted to see what kind of expression Yao Yuan would have upon hearing the news.

In the detention room, Yao Yuan was cursing venomously in his heart.

These stinking cops actually dared to illegally detain him just to please that stinking bitch!

Humph!

As soon as he got out, he would contact the media to expose Director Wang's abuse of power and perversion of the law. He would also find the best lawyer to sue him until he was stripped of his uniform!

Then he would find a way to take revenge on that stinking bitch Lei Jun.

Seeing Director Wang enter, he immediately burst into a torrent of abuse.

He demanded that Director Wang release him immediately, or face the consequences.

Watching Yao Yuan's distorted face and listening to his unbearable insults, Director Wang's expression became very ugly.

Still so arrogant when death is at the door!

"Release you?"

Director Wang sneered.

"Yao Yuan, I'm afraid you won't be getting out!"

"Just today, the 'longcheng animal protection management regulations' were officially promulgated and implemented. You tortured and killed over four thousand cats and dogs, and the evidence is conclusive. Under the new law, you could be sentenced to up to three years in prison."

"So just stay here quietly and wait to go to court!"

Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then sneered.

"Stop joking. Let me go quickly; stalling for time is useless!"

Director Wang snorted.

"Not shedding a tear until the coffin is seen!"

"Fine, I'll let you give up hope once and for all!"

Then he pulled out his phone and showed him various reports regarding the implementation of the 'animal protection law' in Longcheng.
