The sudden formal courtesy caught Yang Qi slightly off guard.
He wasn't part of the police system and was unfamiliar with the etiquette for such occasions. However, he reacted quickly, straightening his back and returning the nod with a solemn expression.
Then, he said humbly, "Director Tang, you're too kind. I just happened to be there and did what I could."
"Advisor Yang, this was far more than simply 'doing what you could.'"
Tang Yuan lowered his hand, his gaze burning with admiration as he looked at Yang Qi. His tone was full of praise and affirmation. "A tiger on the loose in a bustling city... the slightest mistake in handling it could have led to mass casualties. Without any professional capture equipment or protective gear, you relied solely on your personal abilities and understanding of animals to successfully calm and control the frightened beast, averting the worst-case scenario."
