"You know him?" The rich woman pointed at me and asked Shu Sha who was sitting by the window in disbelief.
"Yeah." The class leader nodded, "Ye Lin is my classmate and he also likes dogs. He's here to help us today."
The rich woman was still skeptical after hearing Shu Sha's explanation and whispered: "He doesn't look like someone who likes animals. Would dogs run away when they see him?"
The class leader's expression was unnatural, maybe she was thinking 'dogs would run away when they see me'.
"Sis Xu, you can't judge a book by its cover. I've made mistakes before … let's talk about now. Even though raised dogs don't look as good as pet dogs, doesn't sis Xu treat them the same?"
The rich woman lowered her voice even more: "But he doesn't look like a dog, he looks like a man-eating wolf! Young lady, you're a talented person, it's best if you don't hang out with the bad students in our class … "
"Ye Lin isn't bad!" The class leader immediately retorted, then she realized she lost her composure and changed her words: "Ye Lin isn't as bad as he looks. Anyway, sis Xu, just treat him as a wolfdog. He's a bit fierce, but he can be tamed …"
Who's a wolfdog! I'm a wild and untamed lone wolf! I'll even become an arctic wolf king one day! Who wants to be a hunting dog for a female hunter or a police dog! Can you even afford to pay me? Do you think you can bribe me with delicious food? Stop dreaming, woof!
The rich woman looked me up and down again and suddenly asked: "You're called Ye Lin? Since Shu Sha said you like dogs, let me test you. Chocolate, chicken bones, onions, which of these three is not suitable for dogs? "
Damn, the class leader just finished her calculations and you're already giving me a multiple choice question? Do you think we students don't have enough homework?
Also, you're clearly setting up a trap! I've raised dogs before, and I frequent pet hospitals all year round. I even know veterinarians, do you think I'll fall for it!
"You can't feed chocolate, chicken bones, or onions to dogs!" I've never been this excited when answering questions in class. "Chocolate contains caffeine, so eating too much can harm a dog's nervous system and it can even cause death! Chicken bones are small and sharp, so it can easily cut a dog's esophagus! As for onions, they will destroy the red blood cells of the puppy and cause anemia! "
Every time Xiao Ding returned a cured dog to its owner, he would always tell me all kinds of things to take note of. I've heard it so many times that I've gotten calluses.
My smooth answer surprised the rich woman. She looked at me in a new light and patted the empty seat on her right.
"Young man, come and sit here! Looks like you're on the same side as us. People who are good to dogs can't be bad to people either. "
With that in mind, I sat on the rich woman's right side. My dad had a translated novel called "The Wrath of Angels". In the novel, there was a mafia boss whose true love was a dog that he raised when he was young. However, he was cold-blooded and merciless when it came to killing people. In his mind, a human life was worth less than a dog's.
However, the Mafia boss had a famous saying, "The only weakness of a dog is that it dies." Even if it was paranoid, all owners who have experienced the death of their pet dog would empathize with the Mafia boss.
"I also like the wolfhound breed," the rich woman said to Shu Sha casually. "Although it's not as cute as my Stupid Xiao Qiao, it looks cool enough. It's like a German Shepherd, and it's very loyal to its owner."
Don't talk about wolfdogs in front of me! Rich woman, you must have a double meaning! Who's a German Shepherd! Do you believe I won't bite your Stupid in half when I get angry!
The class leader blushed for some reason and did not continue the topic with the rich woman. She began to listen to the negotiations while looking out the window to try to find a second suspicious dog transport vehicle.
The Zeng brothers did not express any opinions about my presence. Now that the police were here, I was not the only volunteer.
"No, I can't take it anymore, I have to sit for a while."
Constable Ma, who stayed up all night, sat next to the Zeng brothers. There were a total of eight seats at the table, and the four seats on the left were occupied by me and the volunteers. He could only sit on the dog dealer's side and let Boss Zeng squeeze in. He also called the police officer Xiao Zhang to sit over.
"Officer, I'll just stand." Xiao Zhang stood up straight in his uniform, "I'm in charge of collecting video evidence. It's the clearest from this angle."
Constable Ma saw that Xiao Zhang was full of fighting spirit, so he did not force him. He leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath. He pointed at the volunteers (mainly me and Ma Huiyu) and said: "You guys have nothing better to do. Dong Shan city doesn't have enough police force. If I don't get a good rest today, what if the drug dealer escapes tomorrow?"
"You're a narcotics officer?" Zeng Laoliu was shocked. He probably remembered that narcotics officers often face retaliation from drug dealers, so they usually carry guns on them, so he became a bit more fearful.
"No one invited you here." Ma Huiyu said aggressively, "If you're tired, go home and sleep. Why are you sitting on the same side as the dog dealer? "
"It means Constable Ma is impartial." Zeng Laoliu flattered, "It's because you're his aunt that he drew the line with you."
I then handed a filter tip to Constable Ma, "Do you want a cigarette?"
"No need." Constable Ma waved his hand and pointed to the sign on the wall, "Smoking is prohibited here, so don't smoke in front of these ladies."
Zeng Laoliu was rebuffed, so he put away the cigarette box in embarrassment.
As a result, his brother, Boss Zeng, drank a lot and was a bit sluggish. He accidentally bumped into Zeng Laoliu when he was picking up the bottle and dropped the cigarette case on the floor.
Zeng Laoliu bent down to pick up the pack of cigarettes. Since it was dark under the table, I immediately remembered my other purpose of showing off my Swiss army knife. So I said in a hurry: "I have a flashlight, do you want me to light it up?"
Ma Huiyu, the rich woman, and the class leader were all slightly puzzled by my sudden show of goodwill towards the dog dealers. Zeng Laoliu also thought I was up to no good, so he didn't use my flashlight and picked up the cigarette case by himself.
"Just give them 50,000 RMB and settle this." Officer Ma closed his eyes slightly, knocking on the table with two fingers as if he had a nervous breakdown.
"Didn't you say ¥100,000?" Zeng Laoliu interrupted in a hurry.
"Don't be too greedy." Constable Ma glanced back at Zeng Laoliu, "I'm only here to be the peacemaker because of the chief's orders. You can sell a truck for ¥40,000, but you can sell it for ¥50,000 and save on gas. Aren't you satisfied?"
"Who said …" Boss Zeng raised his head drunkenly, "Even though the dogs in the truck can only be sold for ¥40,000 …"
Zeng Laoliu quickly nudged Boss Zeng with his elbow to shut him up.
It was indeed suspicious. The class leader's guess that the Zeng brothers didn't fill up the truck and wanted to add more dogs on the way was correct. Also, those dogs weren't legally bred or transported. They were probably stolen pets from all over Dong Shan city. Maybe their owners were burning with anxiety because their pets were stolen.
Ma Huiyu and Shu Sha exchanged glances and Shu Sha began to pay more attention to the situation in the square. It was said that several volunteers, including Xiao Ding, were also informed of the possibility of another dog transport truck, so they also paid extra attention.
However, volunteers who were easily excited like Mrs. Xu didn't know about this. They didn't tell them because they didn't want to alert the enemy.
"How about ¥80,000." Zeng Laoliu bargained, "We'll ask for a bit less out of respect for Constable Ma. If you agree, we'll even give you the dog cage."
As he said, he reached out to take the sales contract under Ma Huiyu's arm. This contract was printed in a format early in the morning. The volunteers were familiar with it. They knew that for the legal transport of bred dogs, they could only buy them and could not rob them. Otherwise, it would be regarded as robbing other people's property and they would be punished by the law.
I didn't really care if it was ¥40,000 or ¥80,000 since I didn't know the person who paid for it. So I reached for the Swiss army knife in my pocket and said enthusiastically: "Do you need a pen? I have a pen here. "
Everyone looked at me strangely. Ma Huiyu tightened the contract under her arm and didn't let Zeng Laoliu take it away. She said coldly:
"Shu Sha's classmate, I haven't agreed to their offer yet. Plus, I have my own pen."
I awkwardly stuffed the Swiss army knife back into my pocket. After calming down a bit, I felt that I shouldn't hope for the negotiation to end as soon as possible. Instead, I should try to stall for time. Otherwise, if we find another dog transport truck, the hope of saving the dogs will be even slimmer.
"Hmph, you still want ¥80,000? You're asking for too much! "The rich woman commented," If you ask me, you should donate all the dogs in this truck. "
"Fuck, if I donate them … I'll have nothing to eat!" Boss Zeng was about to act impulsively again. Zeng Laoliu saw that his brother had a loose tongue after drinking, so he quickly held him down and told him to keep quiet.
"I'm doing this for your own good." The rich woman said in an irritating tone, "You're doing a business that kills people. In your next life, you'll most likely be reincarnated as a pig, cow, or sheep. You'll end up like the meat on your plate. I'm asking you to donate the dogs so you can atone for your sins."
"What's the use of doing that? We want money! "In the end, Boss Zeng still said, and raised his big fists on the table.
"Bro, don't argue with them. The police are here. They won't let us suffer any losses." Zeng Laoliu used this sentence to remind his brother that it was unwise to resort to violence in front of Constable Ma, who might be carrying a gun. It was also a warning to Constable Ma so that he wouldn't side with his relatives.
Boss Zeng snorted and picked up a toothpick from the toothpick container on the table. Then, he started picking his teeth.
I suddenly remembered that my Swiss Army knife also contained stainless steel toothpicks. I couldn't wait to take out my Swiss Army knife and find the toothpick component. Then, I opened my mouth and picked my teeth in front of everyone. Although I had rinsed my mouth after breakfast, I didn't have any shredded meat in my teeth like Boss Zeng.
Huh? Why don't you guys envy me for having such an awesome tool? Although it's a bit inconvenient to use a 111mm Swiss army knife, why don't any of you ask me what I'm holding? It'll be easier for me to show off if you ask!
Class leader, why are you turning around! You clearly saw what I was doing! Why are you looking out the window instead? Is it because you think I'm too embarrassing and you're pretending not to know me?
Even the drunk Boss Zeng felt that I was provoking him by imitating him when I didn't have anything in my teeth.
