Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!

Chapter 314 - 313: You Dare Lay a Finger on Someone I Care About? You Must Have a Death Wish! (Part 2)

She rubbed her eyes hard.

She wasn’t seeing things.

Heihu had knelt.

The cigarette in Director Li’s hand burned his fingers, but he didn’t feel it.

He was a man who understood dogs.

This wasn’t ordinary fear.

This was bloodline suppression!

Only when meeting a true "Dog King," or a fierce beast that’s tasted blood and killed wolves, would an ordinary dog be this frightened.

"This..."

Director Li looked at the creature sitting there, its silver fur slightly fluttering in the wind, unsure whether to call it a dog or wolf.

His Adam’s apple bobbed.

"Is this a descendant of Black Wind?"

Lin Wan Yi nodded.

"Yes."

Director Li took a sharp breath.

"My goodness."

"This physique, this aura... it’s probably a throwback, even fiercer than Black Wind back in the day!"

He couldn’t help but want to reach out and touch it.

Little Grey just gave him a cold look.

Director Li’s extended hand stopped mid-air.

He smiled awkwardly and pulled his hand back.

Turning his head towards Aunt Wang on the ground, his face instantly fell.

"Is this the wild wolf you were talking about?"

Aunt Wang was still in shock.

"This... this isn’t right! How did Heihu end up like this? That woman must have drugged Heihu!"

"Shut up!"

Director Li kicked the edge of Aunt Wang’s shoe.

"What a disgrace!"

"Heihu got so scared he peed himself, can’t you see?"

Everyone followed Director Li’s gaze.

Sure enough.

Underneath the crouching Heihu, there was a large wet patch.

The crowd erupted in laughter.

"Hahaha! Aunt Wang got scared and peed herself earlier, and now the dog she’s brought has done the same!"

"Like master, like help!"

"The Gu Family’s dog is unbelievable! Just sitting there, it subdued the security dog!"

At this point, Gu An released Gu Lan’s hand.

He walked with his short legs up to the cowering Heihu.

He extended a finger and poked Heihu’s big black nose.

Heihu didn’t dare move, letting the little toddler poke him.

Gu An turned his head to look at Aunt Wang.

He pointed at Heihu and then at the majestic Little Grey behind him.

In his childish voice but with perfect clarity, he said three words.

"Crouching Dog."

Then, he pointed at Aunt Wang.

"Crouching Aunt."

"Pfft—"

Zhao Tiezhu spat out the mouthful of water he had just drunk.

The entire courtyard was filled with merriment.

Only Aunt Wang’s face was as red as a liver.

She sat on the ground, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Director Li ignored Aunt Wang.

He pulled Heihu up from the ground.

Heihu’s legs were still weak; he couldn’t stand without leaning back against Director Li.

Director Li looked at Lin Wan Yi, his tone completely different.

It was respect for the strong.

"Lady of the Gu Family, this dog... is well-raised."

"As long as it doesn’t hurt people and guards the gate, it’s the guardian spirit of our courtyard."

"I’ll have someone send over a plaque later, hang it at the entrance, so the ignorant don’t come looking for trouble."

After he spoke, he gave Aunt Wang a fierce glare.

"Not leaving? Waiting here for the New Year?"

Aunt Wang got up from the ground, not even bothering to dust off her clothes.

She hid her face and squeezed through the crowd like a rat crossing the street amidst the laughter of the entire courtyard.

Director Li dragged the still-weak-legged Heihu away.

The neighbors, having seen enough of the commotion, dispersed in twos and threes.

But this time, when they looked toward the Gu Family’s courtyard, their gazes had all changed.

That was awe.

With such a "Dog King" guarding the gate, even flies would think twice about entering the Gu Family from then on.

Lin Wanyi closed the big iron gate.

She crouched down and patted Little Grey’s big head.

"Well done."

Little Grey instantly dropped its aloof demeanor.

It stuck out its tongue, panting, its big tail wagging like a propeller as it eagerly nudged into Lin Wan Yi’s arms.

Gu An also approached, hugging one of Little Grey’s legs.

"Ride! Horsey!"

Little Grey obediently lay down, letting Gu An climb onto its back.

Gu Lan watched from the side, clicking her tongue.

"Sister-in-law, you scared me to death just now; I thought Heihu was really going to bite someone."

Lin Wan Yi chuckled.

"Bite someone?"

She glanced at Gu An’s back as he gleefully rode Little Grey around the courtyard.

"Our family’s dog, wouldn’t bother with such an opponent."

...

Meanwhile.

In the basement of a rundown building in Beijing.

A young man with thick glasses and hair as messy as a bird’s nest was staring blankly at a blueprint.

The floor was strewn with scrap metal, leaving hardly any space to stand.

That was Jiang Zhou.

Ever since he’d seen the perfectly disassembled radio at the Gu Family’s place, he’d been restless.

That child...

That child not even half a year old.

Such an instinct for mechanical structures, it was as if the heavens themselves were feeding him.

No, it was as if the heavens were chasing after him to feed him!

"No."

Jiang Zhou slammed the pencil in his hand onto the table.

"I must visit the Gu Family again."

"The picture tube of my color TV keeps burning out, what’s causing it?"

"Maybe... that little genius could casually tweak something and inspire me?"

He grabbed the already-fried picture tube component from the table and stuffed it into his canvas bag.

Just as he was about to head out.

The door was kicked open.

A few ruffian youths barged in.

The leader, with a toothpick in his mouth, was twirling a switchblade in his hand.

"Yo, Genius Jiang, where are you off to?"

Jiang Zhou instinctively clutched the canvas bag to his chest.

"What do you... what do you want?"

"Want what?"

The leader sneered, stepping forward and grabbing Jiang Zhou by the collar.

"What about that batch of radios we asked you to modify? Why is there no progress?"

"That’s profiteering! I... I won’t do it!"

Jiang Zhou’s face flushed red as he desperately held onto his bag.

"I won’t do anything illegal!"

"Slap!"

The leader gave him a backhanded slap that sent Jiang Zhou’s glasses flying.

"You think you’re too good for this, huh?"

"I think all that book-learning has made you stupid!"

"If you don’t get that batch of goods modified by today, I’ll wreck this dump of yours! Burn all your blueprints!"

"No! Don’t burn the blueprints!"

Jiang Zhou panicked.

Those blueprints were his life.

"Oh, now you’re scared?"

The leader snatched the canvas bag from Jiang Zhou and dumped its contents onto the floor.

"What’s this junk?"

He stomped on the picture tube component that Jiang Zhou cherished.

With a "crunch,"

The sound of glass shattering was especially piercing in the basement.

Jiang Zhou’s eyes turned red.

Those materials had cost him three months’ worth of meal tickets!

"I’ll fight you to the end!"

Just as this thin, bookish guy was about to go all out.

A cool female voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Stop."
