Before we set sail, we may need to deal with one thing first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That stupid dog has come knocking again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Hao, whose face showed only twenty-six or twenty-seven years, heard the commotion inside the club; his eyes revealed a dark, ferocious intensity that even his glasses could not hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this opulent office, where dark red carpets covered most of the floor, dim yellow light glowed upon the heavy dark wood desk and bookshelves, casting a hue like dried, congealed blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from Lin Hao sat six men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time we set sail, beyond the basic large-boat transport, we need trusted confidants to coordinate and inspect the cargo, ensuring our pilots don’t slip in any prohibited items banned by the authorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Bai Bai’s renewed provocation, Lin Hao felt a rage he could barely contain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Xiang! Immediately notify Tu Fang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squeak——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Hao could finish speaking, a white albino hedgehog, nearly five meters long, lying on its back in a velvet nest on the old redwood desk, let out a rat-like “squeak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hedgehog’s entire body was snow-white, with only a golden trim along the boundary between its spines and belly fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-trimmed hedgehog lounged lazily, its long legs casually dangling outside the nest, slowly picking up fruit from beside it and shoving it into its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Hao froze, quickly grabbing the speaker beside him and placing it next to the golden-trimmed hedgehog: “Grandma, you speak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squeak squeak squeak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-trimmed hedgehog glanced at Lin Hao, turned toward the speaker, and “squeaked” out a phrase; after a brief translation, the speaker emitted a lazy, steady, mature woman’s voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah Hao, you must be calm in all you do and say. Don’t leave any openings. Didn’t you just visit your uncle who got six years last month?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But! Grandma, that stupid dog—” Lin Hao immediately grew furious and tried to retort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But amid a flurry of “squeak squeak,” Lin Hao could only swallow his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just some property loss. Don’t make a scene everyone will hear about, especially now, during this sensitive period. The authorities aren’t blind—they just don’t think it’s worth it, and because we can black-kill on the other side, taking out those who truly transport contraband.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a favor, not an entitlement.” The lazy, mature voice scolded, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take me over there. Oh, and bring out the fireworks from the warehouse and set them off—consider it compensation for the sudden power outage, hehehe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the speaker, the golden-trimmed hedgehog, as if thinking of something amusing, let out a sultry, seductive laugh of a mature woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Hao took a deep breath and reverently lifted the one-meter-long wooden board, placing the fifteen-kilogram golden-trimmed hedgehog, its nest, and snacks all upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Hao carried the board with both arms, gave a glance to the six men before him; two immediately rushed to open the door and took the chairman’s private elevator downstairs, while the other four followed Grandma’s orders without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had long grown accustomed to their boss obeying the golden-trimmed hedgehog in everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, the true [Ship Boss] of the Shuangxi County Hao Village gang was the golden-trimmed hedgehog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss changes like flowing water; the chairman is ironclad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Hao’s father hadn’t been starving as a youth and gone to the creek to catch fish, he never would’ve met Grandma the hedgehog—and the entertainment empire led by Hao Village’s villagers would never have been born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend says Lin Hao’s penniless father, upon seeing Grandma the hedgehog, starved into madness and tried to bite her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t kill him; instead, impressed by his strength, she took him as her mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, whether these rumors were true or not, Mao Mao and Ah Du dared not ask Lin Hao or the village elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Grandma wanted to wear a bikini and none existed on the market, she’d tie up the tailor, press a gun to his head, and force him to make one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the protection of Mao Mao and Ah Du, Lin Hao, carrying the board and Grandma on his arms, arrived at the rear parking lot—the usual exit Grandma used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the elevator doors opened, Lin Hao stepped out, turned, and saw a majestic white wolf standing outside the glass wall; in the midnight wind blowing across the river, its white fur streamed behind it, its gaze sharp as it stared at Hai Linglong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the white wolf, the entire parking lot was filled with dogs of all kinds, some even blocking the entrance and exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wretched beast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Hao quickly scanned the scene and muttered a curse under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, this matter won’t end peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, it was mere coincidence; now, that white wolf knew Grandma’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we don’t deal with it, Hai Linglong Entertainment City will never know peace—and worse, it might draw the attention of the Anquan Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squeak squeak squeak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-trimmed hedgehog sat slumped in its velvet nest tilted at a forty-five-degree angle, smiling faintly, its two pale little feet crossed at the ankle; it raised a hand, and Ah Du hurried forward to light a specially custom-made cigarette for Grandma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-trimmed hedgehog, smiling, teased the dog that had once encountered her, lost, and fled in disgrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the speaker began to speak:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh hehe~ Isn’t this the dog that last time fled with its tail between its legs? What, missing Grandma’s loving injections? Wanting Grandma to give you another dose of needle-thorn love?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai sneered, emitting a low, mocking sound: “Wang wang wang——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old witch, don’t get too cocky—I’m not here alone today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dang dang dang——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Grandma the golden-trimmed hedgehog pondered Bai Bai’s words, four sharp, clear echoes rang out in the parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandma, there’s an ambush! Hai Linglong’s got an ambush! There’s another fox holding a trash can and smashing people!” In the third- and sixth-floor surveillance rooms, a man with one cheek red as if crushed under a wheel screamed in terror, barely holding himself up as he staggered to the window and yelled toward the parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish—even before he could say the fox was deleting the footage—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three people below, the two spirit beasts, and the dogs all saw a slender white paw reach out from the window, gripping the man’s hair and dragging him back into the surveillance room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dang——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisp, low sound of a skull striking a metal trash can echoed through the parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox stood upright on the trash can, leaning against the windowsill, gazing out at the parking lot, and nodded to Bai Bai, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All the footage we could delete is gone. Now, let’s give these kids a lesson—we can clock out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little one, don’t talk too big.” Grandma the hedgehog glanced back, smiled, and her back muscles rippled; a spine as hard as alloy shot toward the sixth-floor surveillance room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng startled—he saw a white streak flash toward him and immediately crouched behind the windowsill cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zi——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white spine pierced straight through the wall, cutting through the dry-hung marble and surface concrete; An Sheng watched the spine vanish into the concrete and sucked in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, curious, he extended a paw and poked the spine embedded in the windowsill; it trembled slightly, emitting a metallic hum like a sword’s resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng stared at the spine, then instinctively glanced at Grandma’s back—thousands upon thousands of golden-trimmed spines:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You're Xing Jia, Ming Telin, full name: Animal Kingdom Gattling, right?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng knew hedgehogs had spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, knowing it’d be hard to land a blow on one, he’d prepared a metal trash can, planning to smash it over the hedgehog’s head on sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one told him the hedgehog could fire its spines like bullets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1412,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.017Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","92b154d585a826e11ddfc9494a0870dcffce37791b19d1dd5986fe9a9d1e3412","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-159","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-157",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
