Chapter 159: Chapter 158 He Is a Good Person

"Can it still be saved...?" Nangong Yan's face was a bit pale as she held up the camera, filming these dogs that had been experimented on but were still alive, and asked Suming in a soft voice.

Suming sighed, shook his head, and said that Friends of Animals weren't omnipotent. These dogs were one breath away from death. If they could be saved, it would be defying the heavens—there would be no death in this world then.

He turned his head, picked up a large canvas, and covered those dogs that had just been delivered and were still caged. Then he walked over to the seven or eight dogs that had been experimented on, clenched his teeth, and one by one, snapped their necks.

"What...what are you doing?" Nangong Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"They can't be saved. I'm giving them a quick end to spare them from a drawn-out suffering," Suming sighed.

"How can it be like this? Experiments can't be this cruel!" Nangong Yan, still a girl at heart with innate kindness, stared at Suming and asked, "You haven't done this before, have you?"

"How is that possible!" Suming thought to himself. After his very first experiment in his freshman year, he even dug a grave for that unlucky rabbit. Gradually he got used to it and didn't bother with the hassle. But the teacher who led the experiments had made it clear in the first lab session that using animals for experiments was a necessary evil but absolutely forbade any unnecessary torture of the animals.

In some respects, the treatment of the animals they used for experiments, while they were alive, was quite good. In the summer, he would even sneak into the lab to enjoy the air conditioning meant for the animals.

All animals, including humans, die, but there are different ways to die.

Just as both of them were a bit stunned, the iron door leading to the rooftop creaked open, and other people came up to the rooftop, walking towards them.

"Hide!" Suming quickly pulled Nangong Yan and hid behind the dog cages.

The sound of footsteps grew closer, and soon they reached the area near the large water tank. Following that, two students, a male, and a female, emerged.

The male student looked familiar. By the moonlight, it turned out to be Peng Lin, who had just led them into the experimental building ...The girl was unknown.

In Peng Lin's hand was a little yellow dog with a sutured cut on its back, nearly lifeless and limp in Peng Lin's grip. Peng Lin casually threw the yellow dog onto the ground.

"Senior brother...this isn't quite right, is it?" the female student frowned upon seeing this. It was night, and the dogs on the ground were nearly dead and motionless, so they hadn't noticed that their necks had already been snapped.

"You didn't kill him, did you?" Nangong Yan was also taken aback.

"What a joke... It's just a brick..."

Suming said casually, then cracked a smile and turned to the little girl with a very kind smile. "Little sister, tell big brother, what's really going on here?"

The little girl's eyes widened as she stared at Suming for a good while, and then suddenly with a 'uh' noise, her eyelids flipped and she went limp and fell over as well.

Now Suming and Nangong Yan were truly flabbergasted – they hadn't expected the little girl to be so faint of heart that she fainted from fright. They tried pinching her Philtrum and even gave artificial respiration, which of course, Nangong Yan did, but the little girl just wouldn't wake up.

Later, Suming resorted to something ruthless, reaching out to undo the little girl's belt. The girl whooshed upright all at once, as if jolted back to life.

"Big brother, big sister, it really wasn't my fault... I tried to persuade him..." the little girl sobbed as she spoke.

Nangong Yan rolled her eyes at Suming. "Stop scaring the kid!" Then she returned the belt to the little girl and comforted her, "Don't be scared, don't be scared. We're not bad people. I'm a reporter, and this guy who looks like a thug is actually a model worker and a party member to boot..."

The little girl became even more afraid.

It wasn't until Nangong Yan showed her press ID and Suming his work badge that the little girl finally believed they weren't bad people and she started to reveal the inside story to Nangong Yan, sobbing all the while.

It was just as they had heard earlier: the dogs were used for experiments. The school allocated a yearly budget for experiments that included funds to euthanize the test subjects without pain. However, Peng Lin, who was in charge of the research funds, decided to save that money. Instead, he would simply leave the animals that had been experimented on to die on the rooftop.

"Damn it, how much money can that even save?" Suming, who was somewhat of a professional, calculated quickly in his head – this could only be saving a few thousand yuan a year at most.

"Do you think everyone is as rich as you are? Don't forget, back when we were students, your monthly living expenses were just three hundred," Nangong Yan said.

"Ugh..." On the side, Peng Lin, who had been knocked unconscious, started to come to, looking bewildered in their direction.

What greeted him was another brick. Suming, holding the brick, swayed it in front of his face and grinned, saying, "Classmate, I'm willing to let go of the fact that you took liberties with my girlfriend just now. I'll ask you a question, you answer. If you lie, I'll use this brick to reshape your face, got it?"
