Chapter 749: Dog Missing

Happy days are always short.

The afternoon of Sunday, December 6th.

Lin Feng, Liang Shishi, Guo Yanqiu and Mu Nian, daughters Lin Qingxia and Lin Jingru, plus two nannies returned home.

"Dad, have fun!"

Lin Jingru sat in Lin Feng's embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck and said.

When children say that, the subtext is they want to play like that again next time.

Lin Qingxia also climbed into Lin Feng's arms, "Dad, when will you take us to play again next time? At that place."

Lin Jingru said: "Lin Qingxia and I buried something there, planning to open it next time we go."

"What thing?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

Lin Jingru shook her head, "Secret!"

Lin Qingxia said: "Dad, you haven't answered me yet—when will we go play together again?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then said: "Dad is too busy, there isn't much time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing his two daughters' disappointed expressions, Lin Feng smiled and said: "How about this? We'll make a promise: whenever we meet a certain condition, we'll take you out to play just like this weekend."

"What condition?"

Lin Jingru asked curiously.

Lin Feng turned his head, glanced around, and whispered: "Condition one: Aunt Liang has free time. Condition two: at least two other aunts are free and agree to go together."

"Like that..."

Lin Jingru furrowed her brows.

Mom Liang Shishi usually has free time.

Aunt Guo occasionally has free time, but the other aunts are not necessarily so.

Mom said, each of them is a very busy person.

Getting the three of them together is really not easy!

"What do you think?"

Seeing Lin Jingru's thoughtful look, Lin Feng asked.

Lin Jingru nodded, "Okay!"

Lin Qingxia was a bit confused, but also nodded.

Mu Nian still has a meeting tomorrow, so she took a flight back to Yanjing this afternoon.

Guo Yanqiu took Lin Qingxia and also left.

Lin Jingru was taken out to play by the two nannies.

"Little rascal, finally it's just the two of us—come, give Auntie a massage."

After Lin Jingru left, Liang Shishi walked over.

When Guo Yanqiu and the others were present, Liang Shishi appeared very dignified.

But now, her whole body exudes an aura that could make boiling water boil.

"I still have things to do; I need to return to Yanjing tonight."

Lin Feng said.

"I don't care at all!"

Queen Liang became overbearing again.

Just then…

"Dad!"

Lin Chang'e's voice rang out.

Although the gate was closed, how could a wall a few meters high stop Lin Chang'e and the others? Xinbi Quge

Lin Feng suddenly realized that arranging for the four little ones to come over was a wise choice.

Otherwise, he'd likely fall victim to the Liang Spider's poisonous hands.

Hearing Lin Chang'e's voice, Liang Shishi did not feel displeased.

On the contrary, she felt a surge of delight: "Little Chang'e has arrived!"

Liang Shishi's attitude was very enthusiastic.

Lin Feng was surprised for a moment, then instantly understood the reason.

Because Lin Chang'e and the others came over, they were here to "deliver goods."

And as for Lin Feng entering the Dao, it's merely a seasoning of life; the Enhancement Agent brought by Lin Chang'e and Lin Shiyi,

but it concerns the major matter of Lin Jingru's enhancement.

"Dad, Aunt Liang."

The four children politely called out.

Liang Shishi happily responded with an affirmative.

Then she immediately ran indoors to fetch food for Song Jiaren, Lin Chang'e, Lin Shiyi, and Lin Baobao.

Lin Jingru is a greedy girl; the household keeps plenty of snacks.

Soon, the coffee table in the living room was filled with snacks.

Lin Feng casually picked up a piece of candy and looked at its ingredient list.

Hmm, no technology and no harsh additives.

It seems Liang Shishi usually pays attention to this matter.

The evening before yesterday, the four little guys came by plane together with Mu Nian.

But after getting off the plane, the four of them disappeared.

Mu Nian anxiously called Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said not to worry about them.

These four little guys basically won't be in danger; it's already fine if they don't cause trouble for others.

So there's no need to worry about their safety at all.

Unexpectedly, they suddenly came running over just now.

Where have you guys been these two days?

Lin Feng asked.

He looked at Lin Shiyi.

Sometimes Lin Shiyi has this advantage: this kid doesn't lie.

Lin Chang'e immediately widened her eyes and stared at Lin Shiyi.

Song Jiaren and Lin Baobao looked at Lin Shiyi, their eyes also revealing a strange expression.

Lin Feng glanced at their eyes and knew something was up.

Sure enough, after Lin Shiyi glanced at Song Jiaren, Lin Baobao, and Lin Chang'e, he slightly lowered his head.

Then he said: "We four, these past two days, busted a gang that specialized in stealing dogs..."

Here's how it happened.

This time coming over, the four of them came by Lin Feng's private plane together with Mu Nian.

They also brought Da Hei and Er Hei along.

After leaving the airport, Da Hei and Er Hei, upon hearing some barking, chased after a small truck.

The four of them immediately followed.

They then followed to a dog meat restaurant in a small alley.

"Where is that meat shop?"

Lin Feng hurriedly asked.

"Um..."

Lin Shiyi hesitated, then gave the address.

Lin Feng then asked: "You didn't smash the place, did you?"

Lin Shiyi immediately shook his head.

"Good then!"

Lin Feng laughed and said: "Want to eat dog meat?"

Song Jiaren furrowed her brows.

Lin Chang'e and Lin Baobao's eyes lit up, showing a greedy look.

Lin Shiyi then continued: "Afterwards we tailed the dog sellers, and finally found a gang that specialized in stealing dogs in the countryside."

"How are those people now?"

Lin Feng asked again.

Lin Shiyi scratched his head and said: "When we left, we locked those five people and the twenty-plus dogs they had stolen together; after that we don't know what happened."

"What about Da Hei and Er Hei?"

Lin Feng asked.

Actually, the tastiest are Da Hei and Er Hei.

Of course that was before; after enhancement, whether the dogs' meat is tasty is uncertain.

Lin Chang'e whistled.

Immediately after, two black shadows rushed in.

They pulled up and squatted in the living room, wagging their tails.

"I thought it was something serious; this isn't a big deal—even if those five got bitten to death by the dogs, they'd have deserved it!"

Liang Shishi stood up then, laughing as she said.

Song Jiaren frowned and said: "Dad, can we not eat dog meat? Dogs are so cute."

Lin Shiyi looked at Song Jiaren and said: "Those are pet dogs, right? And they're one's own pet dogs."

I think besides one's own dog, other dogs are pretty annoying.

Lin Chang'e said: "But dog meat really is delicious!"

Lin Baobao also nodded along.

"Have you two eaten it?"

Lin Feng asked.

Lin Chang'e raised a finger, saying she'd tried a piece.

"I'm not playing with you guys anymore!"

Song Jiaren furrowed her brows, shouted loudly, turned and ran out of the living room.

"Big sister..."

Lin Chang'e and Lin Baobao chased after her.

At that moment, Lin Shiyi scratched his head and looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng laughed and said: "Shiyi, your little group has run into trouble again—what are we going to do now?"

Lin Shiyi said: "I'll figure something out!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

"This kid, just like an adult."

After Lin Shiyi left, Liang Shishi laughed and said.

Lin Feng chuckled, "Once Lin Jingru uses the Enhancement Agent, she'll be just like them."

In the living room, the two big black dogs were still there.

Lin Feng stepped forward and squatted in front of the two big black dogs.

The two fellows were fatter and stronger than before, with fiercer eyes and glossy coats, as if they'd been oiled.

Lin Feng reached out and pinched here and there on the two fellows.

What fine meat!

"Whine~"

Seeing Lin Feng's gaze, Da Hei let out a low growl from his mouth.

"Get out!"

Lin Feng waved his hand.

Da Hei and Er Hei ran off as if fleeing.

They had already sensed the meaning expressed in Lin Feng's gaze.

After the Enhancement, the two big black dogs' logical thinking ability was stronger than before.

If one were to say their previous behavior relied entirely on instinct.

Now they can at least understand some human emotions expressed.

In the dog meat restaurant, those people looking at the dog meat had the same gaze as Lin Feng.

"You scared the two of them."

Liang Shishi said lightly.

Lin Feng said with a smile, "I'm not really trying to eat them; I'm just conducting a test."

"What test?"

Liang Shishi asked curiously.

"You'll find out soon enough!"

After Lin Feng finished speaking, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Perhaps not long from now, we'll be able to eat dog meat.

After leaving Liang Shishi's house through the main gate, the two big black dogs lay against the wall.

Then they locked eyes, communicating through their gaze, while also making a "whine" sound.

By then, Song Jiaren had calmed down and was no longer angry.

Because she had been persuaded by Lin Shiyi.

Lin Shiyi said, loving dogs and loving to eat dog meat are not contradictory.

Song Jiaren can keep her own pet dog, and they will also come to like it.

Just like Da Hei and Er Hei, doesn't the whole family like them?

But you can't like Da Hei and Er Hei and then oppose our eating dog meat, can you?

This is an unreasonable forcing of others to do whatever.

Everything has two sides.

People have good and bad, and dogs have good and bad.

Upon Lin Shiyi saying that, Song Jiaren suddenly recalled being frightened by a pet dog in the residential area before.

That dog was even killed by Lin Feng.

Upon reflection, it turns out that the aversion stems from liking Da Hei and Er Hei.

Suddenly, Song Jiaren made a shushing gesture.

"What's wrong, big sister?"

Lin Chang'e asked curiously.

Song Jiaren looked astonished and said, "I, I heard Da Hei and Er Hei speaking!"

"Ah~"

Even Lin Shiyi looked astonished.

He only heard the two big black dogs whining from the nearby wall.

Lin Chang'e looked curious and asked, "What did they say?"

Song Jiaren made another shushing gesture.

A few minutes later, Da Hei and Er Hei suddenly ran off.

Then Song Jiaren said, "Da Hei and Er Hei were discussing going hunting, like this……"

Da Hei: "Master wants to eat us, what should we do?"

Er Hei: "I've figured it out."

Da Hei: "I feel very scared."

Er Hei: "I'm scared too."

Da Hei: "What should we do?"

Er Hei: "We can only kill other dogs."

Da Hei: "I think the same."

"They went to catch dogs?"

Song Jiaren finished speaking, Lin Baobao said with a look of surprise.

Song Jiaren nodded, "Yes! Who made Dad want to eat dog meat? They're afraid Dad will eat them, so they can only hope the other Daoists die, not the poor Daoist."

Lin Baobao said, "Aren't Da Hei and Er Hei just like dog thieves? Earlier they saved so many of their own kind."

Lin Shiyi shook his head, "Wrong! Da Hei and Er Hei didn't save that pack of dogs, but a half-grown native dog that was very spirited, unlike other dogs."

"Yes!"

Song Jiaren said, "Isn't it because of that little native dog that we came to hate those five dog thieves?"

Lin Shiyi also said, "What we're doing isn't to save dogs, but to prevent more people from abandoning their dogs."

In the village, those native dogs that guard homes are, to their owners, just like family...

"It's gotten colder these past two days!"

Lin Shiyi finished speaking, Lin Baobao gazed at the sky and said.

"Yeah!"

Lin Chang'e agreed, "Why do I feel it's as cold here as in Yanjing?"

"That's because you're too empty."

Lin Jingru walked over at this time and said.

"What does that mean?" Lin Shiyi asked.

Lin Jingru said, "They're beating around the bush because they want to eat dog meat! When I want to eat fish and it's inconvenient to say it straight, I talk to Mom like this."

"Wait!"

Lin Shiyi suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly.

Then, looking astonished at Song Jiaren, he said, "Just now we were only thinking about dog meat, big sis—does your new ability let you understand animal language?"

As soon as his words fell, everyone stared at Song Jiaren in shock.

Song Jiaren only then realized.

At this moment, Lin Shiyi made a gesture to be quiet.

The five people immediately shut their mouths, even stopping their breath.

In the nearby woods, two birds were chirping "chirp chirp."

After a moment, Lin Chang'e looked expectant and asked, "Big sis, what are the two birds saying?"

Song Jiaren said, "They're just expressing emotions; compared to Da Hei and Er Hei, their language is too simple."

At that moment, a few meows came from not far away.

Lin Baobao hurriedly asked, "What is this cat saying?"

Song Jiaren's face turned red, she shook her head and said, "I don't know!"

The second floor of the villa.

Lin Feng honestly massaged Liang Shishi's shoulders.

Liang Shishi closed her eyes and said, "The kids are growing up slowly, each of their ears is sharper than a dog's; sometimes we still need to be careful."

"Haven't Lin Jingru and Lin Qingxia undergone Enhancement yet?"

Lin Feng said.

Liang Shishi opened her eyes, annoyed, and said, "I wasn't talking about the past two days. I mean from now on, you need to be a bit more careful, got it?"

Lin Feng nodded.

Liang Shishi continued, "I like living here; in a few days I plan to have someone clear out a large area of the basement and turn it into a quiet room."

"Just staying inside to sing, so that even if it's loud, no one outside can hear it."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement, "Since you like singing, you should think about making the room bigger when there are many people."

"Got it!"

Evening.

Da Hei and Er Hei had already been strolling along the city roadside for over an hour.

They still hadn't found a target to bite.

Those stray companions, each looking pitiful.

The main thing is, most of them are sick.

What's left are pet dogs that still have owners; biting those pet dogs to death would cause trouble for the owners.

As it was getting dark.

At that moment, a burst of dog barks came from ahead.

Da Hei and Er Hei hurried over.

Looking ahead from a distance of several tens of meters.

They saw two kids who had just finished tutoring, tightly clutching their small backpacks as they leaned against a big tree.

A plump middle-aged woman was holding the leash of an Akita dog, barking furiously at the two children.

The two kids were so frightened they were about to cry.

Da Hei and Er Hei glanced at each other.

Then Da Hei and Er Hei charged over.

The plump woman holding the dog's leash was feeling smug; she had deliberately directed the dog to scare the two kids.

Who made the two kids say her dog was a "little Japanese breed"!

Suddenly, her vision blurred.

After a moment of dazedness, she felt the leash go slack in her hand—her beloved dog… was gone!
