While Zhang Beixing was releasing his video, elsewhere, after a full day and night of rescue efforts, the Yiling Forestry Bureau, after expending a tremendous amount of effort, had finally saved the tiger that Zhang Beixing had severely beaten from death's door.

The tiger was regaining consciousness from its coma. It was covered in various medicinal ointments, its head wrapped in bandages, and a large Elizabethan Collar was around its neck. Seeing this, the veterinarians in charge of the rescue breathed a sigh of relief.

They sat down on chairs to rest. Thinking back on what they had witnessed, they couldn't help but marvel.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it. The tiger's severe injuries weren't caused by any sharp weapon; they were inflicted blow by blow, by someone's bare fists!

They had been shocked when examining the injuries.

They couldn't fathom how that 'tiger-beating young man' had managed it.

That was just too ferocious!

"Is the tiger better now?"

Just as these veterinarians were silently dismayed by the tiger's miserable state, Old Jia pushed the door open, walked in, and asked them.

Hearing his question, the vets nodded, indicating that it was indeed better.

Old Jia nodded. He went forward to examine the tiger, confirming that after the rescue, it was out of mortal danger and its vital signs were gradually returning to normal. Only then did he allow the group of vets to go rest.

Then, following the task Fan Chengdong had assigned him, he filmed the tiger's recovery and sent the video to the Forestry Bureau's publicity department.

When the Forestry Bureau's publicity department received the video from Old Jia, they naturally knew what to do.

So, after a flurry of typing, the latest news from the 'Yiling Forestry Bureau' soon appeared on all major platforms:

[Big news: With the help of a concerned citizen of our city, the tiger spotted on West Yin Mountain has been successfully captured. Following timely rescue efforts, the tiger is no longer in life-threatening danger and is currently recovering. It is expected to fully recover within a month, at which time we will release it back into the wild. For specific details, please stay tuned for our latest updates. Note: This action is dangerous; please do not imitate! #Nature #Tiger #YilingForestryBureau]

Thanks in part to the mysterious Shennongjia, the Yiling Forestry Bureau already had a substantial following.

Not to mention, they had now released such explosive news.

It instantly caught people's attention.

A tiger? A concerned citizen? Reading the video title, people were very curious.

How was a 'concerned citizen' involved again?

So, they clicked to find out.

They didn't see the concerned citizen they were expecting. Instead, a battered tiger, barely clinging to life, immediately caught their eye.

Seeing that robust tiger, weighing at least 220 pounds, locked in a cage with bars no thicker than a little finger, beaten unconscious and taking shallow breaths, netizens were flummoxed.

"WTF? What's going on? I've lived this long, seen cat abuse, seen dog abuse, but this is my first time seeing tiger abuse!"

"Wait, this thing can be abused? With its size, an ordinary person wouldn't last two seconds before being torn apart and eaten."

"You're exaggerating. We're humans, supposedly the superior species. It's just a tiger; it only looks intimidating. If you gave me a khukuri, I'd slide tackle it and guarantee I could feed it so well—with myself—it wouldn't need to eat for three days!"

"That sudden flex nearly threw out my back! Sliding in to deliver himself as takeout—priceless!"

"They definitely used weapons, one hundred percent! Otherwise, it's impossible to beat a tiger like that with human strength alone!"

"The Yiling Forestry Bureau's containment method is a bit too hardcore, isn't it? Beating a tiger half to death before taking it in... is this what they call 'beating a confession out of it'?"

"Exactly! And the crucial part is, after containing it, you're going to release it back into the wild? So, what was the point of containing it in the first place?"

"Tiger: I was terrified! I was just chilling comfortably at home when these people showed up, gave me a major beatdown, and asked if I was gonna move my den or what!"

"Damn, that's spot on!"

"..."

After the initial shock, netizens were buzzing, completely confused by what baffling human behavior the Yiling Forestry Bureau was engaged in.

Seeing many people asking about this, the staff managing the 'Yiling Forestry Bureau' official account realized there was a misunderstanding. They quickly issued a clarification: the reason the tiger was beaten so badly was entirely the work of that 'concerned citizen.' The Yiling Forestry Bureau, they explained, had only provided medical assistance.

They thought this explanation would calm the storm in the comments section.

However, they completely overlooked how utterly absurd their 'fact' sounded. As a result, not only did they fail to quell the online uproar, they actually fanned the flames.

"'Yiling Forestry Bureau official, look at me. Do I look like an idiot to you? Saying a tiger got beaten into this sorry state purely by the hands of a 'concerned citizen'? Come on, tell me, whose concerned citizen is *that* badass?'"

"'Exactly! Even if you're going to lie, at least draft it properly! We just brag online, saying tigers are trash, and you actually believed it? No way, no way! Surely an official account can't be *that* naive!'"
