How dare you conspire to rebel right before my eyes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what if the dogs eat a little of your grain? You people who do shameful things—what’s wrong with a little charity? I haven’t even called customs to report you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his wish list refresh, An Sheng, after a brief shock, immediately grew displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dogs’ lives are already hard—what’s wrong with them eating a little of your dog food?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The state doesn’t collect your taxes—so what’s wrong with us dogs collecting a charity tax?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The profit margin is so huge—why not donate a bit to support environmental causes, clean up stray dogs, and guide stray cats and dogs onto the right path?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re going to shout for violence, we who are protected under wildlife conservation laws aren’t vegetarians either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, this club’s boss is, in a way, a talent—he actually recruited what seems to be a spiritual beast, a hedgehog, to…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spiritual beast? A giant hedgehog?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng muttered complaints while preparing to summon the dogs to surround the Hai Linglong Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before An Sheng could even leave the massage chair, he suddenly remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai had once said that in the busiest district of Jiule City, a hedgehog held sway—when Bai tried to enter the city before, it had stabbed him right in the mouth with its spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for a few Chihuahuas under his command who could act as battlefield medics to pull out the spines, Qiulingling would’ve definitely pinned its head down and dragged it to the hospital for anesthesia the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hedgehog Bai mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be… this one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this hedgehog also have awakened to the truth of life and pledged allegiance to the human king?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As An Sheng pondered this, while the technician stepped out to change equipment, he ran into the pet area and patted the confused Chihuahua inside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, go two streets over and shout loud: ‘Fu Li’s orders—avoid the club, head east! The hedgehog’s inside—tell Bai and the others to gather here!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understand? Do it well and you get dog food. Mess it up and I’ll take off your bell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woof.” The Chihuahua nodded blankly, broke free from its leash, and sprinted out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting everything in motion, An Sheng returned to the third-floor private room as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That hedgehog’s so evil—definitely [+3 devotion].”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox stretched out on the massage chair, glanced at the two old men snoring comfortably next door, reached out, picked up the tablet, and ordered a salted lemon seven drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh-huh-huh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the technician had left, the deeply relaxed Old Chen and Yu Zhenghong had no idea what was about to unfold at the Hai Linglong Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tea leaves were dried by nine, and he left home for dinner at nine-thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add in the massage time, and it was already past twelve—about when Bai and the others usually went out for a stroll, and the club’s boat boss was due to set sail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called out to the hedgehog, asking it to help him settle something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wish wasn’t directed at the fox—but An Sheng happened to be nearby and overheard his silent muttering, praying to heaven and gods for safe passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woof—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro! I’ve got everything ready!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chorus of barking erupted outside. An Sheng pulled out his headset from beside the massage chair, switched it to noise-cancelling mode, and placed it on Old Chen and the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox calmly leapt onto the table, sipped tea to moisten its throat, then shouted toward the club’s entrance:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are too many cameras at the intersection! Bai, I’ll cut the power—then go knock on the door and lure the golden-edged hedgehog and the boat boss to the parking lot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng arrived at the alley entrance, ready to brief Bai on the operation plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Move fast, but don’t make too much noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We still have to earn our keep by being cute. After I cut the power, we take out the hedgehog first, then trap the boat boss in the alley, stuff him in a sack, and deliver him to Golden Lion—give him some social favors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Song nodded deeply, turned around, bit fiercely at his own back, and pulled out a Kaishan knife from his snowy fur, then produced a clearly illegal shotgun and handed them to An Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit! A Remington shotgun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng’s eyes widened as he stared at the weapon Bai handed him, utterly incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Remington was old, yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was genuine American military issue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Song Bai didn’t understand why the fox was so shocked—he merely warned: be careful, the hedgehog spits spines. Last time, it suffered a brutal wound from its spines and fled Jiule City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he came fully prepared—every weapon is properly equipped for the fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left hand: Remington. Right hand: wide-blade Kaishan knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One for unmatched offense, one for impenetrable defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Put it away! Where did you even get this stuff? No weapons allowed in the city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng shoved the Remington back, stuffed the dozen bullets into the box, and punched Bai on the forehead. “I told you—don’t cause trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a weapon this big, you’re probably dreaming of being shipped off to a research lab for 996 breeding duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai looked utterly confused—he saw nothing strange about a Remington.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long ago, Xia Country didn’t ban guns at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until two villages armed themselves with mortar batteries and launched coordinated infantry-tank assaults against each other, terrifying police and military so badly they couldn’t even approach—then the government gradually banned civilian ownership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though most weapons were confiscated, some people still secretly kept a few as collectibles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai’s Remington was borrowed from the estate of a deceased, lonely old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of old man had such a temper? After we deal with the hedgehog, take me to see him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng grumbled, then signaled Bai to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d cut the power; Bai would lure the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm-mm—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng rushed to the elevator lobby, checked the elevator’s route, then sprinted to the equipment room and flipped the Hai Linglong Club’s main circuit breaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The club, like a giant mall, plunged into total darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But moments later, the emergency backup power kicked in, and some lights flickered back on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woof—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai crept to the door, refraining from his signature wolf howl, instead letting out a loud, foul-mouthed dog bark inside the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Bai’s command, the dogs sprawled out or crouched where they pleased, urinating everywhere inside, releasing dense pheromone-laced urine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This urine wasn’t ordinary—it carried an intensely strong pheromone scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the dogs had soaked the entire place. Humans couldn’t detect anything, but the hedgehog could smell the overwhelming provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aowu—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai lifted his leg and marked the club’s entrance pillar with a stream, sighed in satisfaction, then sprinted toward the hidden parking lot behind the club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hai Linglong Club had three parking lots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was built next door, public-use; one was at the front, exclusive to the club; the third was behind the rear entrance, a concealed lot—smaller, but filled with luxury cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai headed straight for that one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1205,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.017Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e9b0e768e29536daa9e732a33f315b4bdd503a082ef39338c2eb75446a4776db","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-158","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-156",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
