Chapter 3

Opening the security door, Li Feng peered inside. There was no light or movement, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Half a month ago, to facilitate his internship at the newly hired pet hospital, Chen Zheng rented a single room here.

However, what Li Feng did not expect was that, besides himself, the other two tenants in this house were actually two female students from a nearby art school, which made Li Feng feel quite awkward. Wasn't this like living together indirectly?

What was even more outrageous was that these two young girls sometimes lacked self-awareness. They would leave their dirty underwear and pants scattered around the bathroom, and sometimes they would even run into the living room wearing extremely revealing undergarments, which made the inexperienced and vigorous Li Feng feel quite uncomfortable!

Fortunately, these two young girls only returned here to stay for two days on weekends, so it didn't make Li Feng's blood boil to the point of death!

At this moment, seeing no lights in the house, Li Feng knew that the two girls were not there today, and he entered the house with a light heart.

Turning on the living room lights, he placed the bag of medicine on the coffee table and did not sit down immediately. Instead, he walked into the bathroom.

After being hit on the back of his head, blood had flowed down Li Feng's neck. Although he had wiped it off at the health center, there was still a lot of blood residue on his neck, making him feel sticky and uncomfortable.

Since he was alone in the house, Li Feng took off all his clothes and threw them into the washing machine. The clothes were covered in blood and were definitely not wearable anymore.

After wiping off the blood residue from his body, Li Feng took off a jade pendant he was wearing around his neck, intending to wash it, as it had been stained with blood.

"Huh?" After washing it, Li Feng suddenly noticed a thin blood thread on the originally clear and transparent jade pendant. "Can't wash it off?"

Li Feng put the jade pendant back into the water and rubbed the part with the blood thread, but it still wouldn't wash off!

"What's going on?" Li Feng was instantly surprised. He had never heard of blood seeping into a jade pendant!

"Is this a fake jade?" Li Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. It didn't matter; even if it was a fake jade, he still had to wear it, and for life!

After all, this was a jade pendant his mother had bought by working part-time for two months to celebrate his admission to university!

After drying the jade pendant, Li Feng put it back on and looked at himself in the mirror. Surprisingly, with the blood thread, it seemed even more beautiful than before!

Turning on the washing machine, Li Feng returned to his room, put on his clothes, and then sat down on the sofa, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had successfully secured this internship today; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pay next month's rent!

Half a month ago, Li Feng had found an internship at another pet hospital in the city, but he was mysteriously fired after just a few days. With no other options, he had to look for another job. However, for the next week, every time he found a pet hospital, he was fired after working for just half a day!

Just as Li Feng was feeling discouraged and decided to try his luck in a neighboring county, Xu Yingying called to notify him about the interview after National Day.

Today, Li Feng successfully passed the interview and became an intern veterinarian at the pet hospital.

"Rumble, rumble..." As Li Feng was reflecting on his recent experiences, a growling sound suddenly echoed in the living room. Li Feng was taken aback, realizing he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

Li Feng walked into the kitchen, opened a box of instant noodles, and was about to take a pack to cook when he found that the box, which had two packs left, was now empty, with only a white note and a ten-yuan bill left inside.

"Handsome guy, sorry, we didn't have classes this afternoon, so we came back to play. We were hungry and ate your two packs of instant noodles. This is the money for the noodles, don't blame us for eating them!"

At the end, there was a smiley face.

"..." Li Feng was speechless. He put the box back and opened the fridge beside it, only to find some pickled radishes he had made a few days ago.

"Should I ask Sister Yushu for some rice?" Li Feng looked at the empty rice container and remembered that the light was on at the house of his neighbor, Chen Yushu, when he came up. He decided to go to her house to borrow some rice to cook.

Most people, when they hear the word "landlady," imagine a shrewd, sharp-tongued, and greedy old lady. However, Li Feng's landlady, Chen Yushu, was a genuine beauty, kind and gentle. Knowing that Li Feng was an intern with a tight budget, she not only agreed to collect rent once a month but also deliberately cooked extra food at night and sent it to Li Feng, claiming she had cooked too much.

Chen Yushu's care made Li Feng, who had been beaten down by society, feel a warm sense of comfort, preventing him from becoming cold and indifferent.

"Is Sister Yushu in? It's me, Li Feng." Li Feng came to the door and gently knocked, but after a while, there was no response.

"Has Sister Yushu gone out?" Li Feng frowned, looked down at the gap under the door, and saw that the light inside was off. He sighed, "Ah, I'll go down and have a quick meal. I wonder if there's any left at this hour."

Li Feng checked his phone; it was almost nine o'clock.

Just as Li Feng was about to go downstairs, he suddenly heard a faint barking sound coming from Chen Yushu's house.

Li Feng immediately recognized the barking of Chen Yushu's poodle, DuoDuo, and felt a bit puzzled. Usually, Sister Yushu took DuoDuo with her when she went out. Why did she leave DuoDuo at home today?

As Li Feng listened carefully, he suddenly noticed that DuoDuo's barking was getting louder and gradually turning into human speech!

"Help! Help! Someone save my owner! There are bad people in the house! There are bad people in the house!"

"Who's there?!" Li Feng was startled, and the voice immediately disappeared!

"What's going on?!" Li Feng was stunned. He suddenly remembered the situation at the community health center, where he had inexplicably understood the language of a guide dog!

"Could it be that DuoDuo was speaking? I can understand dog language?!" Li Feng's heart raced, and his mouth went dry.

"No, I need to try again!" Li Feng calmed himself, suppressing his heart that was almost jumping out of his throat, and listened intently again.

At this moment, Li Feng did not know that the jade pendant around his neck was slowly emitting a faint light. As the light appeared, the blood thread in the jade pendant gradually faded and eventually disappeared!

Soon, under Li Feng's focused listening, the barking of the poodle DuoDuo turned into human speech again: "I'm in so much pain! Help! Someone save us! There are bad people in the house! The owner is in danger!"

"It really is DuoDuo speaking!" Li Feng finally confirmed that it was DuoDuo's voice and realized that bad people had broken into Sister Yushu's house and were still inside, holding her hostage!

"What should I do? What should I do?!" Li Feng took a deep breath. At this moment, he must not panic!

Right! Call the police!

Li Feng immediately remembered that Officer Chen had given him a phone number when he returned. He quickly dialed the number: "Hello, Officer Chen? It's me, Li Feng!"

At that moment, Officer Chen was doing something, and the noise was quite loud. He was surprised that Li Feng had called him so soon: "What's wrong, Mr. Li? Have the troublemakers found you?"

"No, it's my landlady's house!" Li Feng calmed himself and immediately told him what he had just discovered. Of course, he wouldn't tell him that he had heard a dog's cry for help. He just said he had seen several vicious knife-wielding criminals rush into his landlady's house!

In fact, Li Feng didn't know how many criminals were inside or if they had knives. He thought that the more serious the situation, the more attention the police would pay!

Sure enough, when Officer Chen heard about the knife-wielding criminals breaking into a house and taking hostages, his tone became serious: "Mr. Li, wait for us there, stay safe, and we will arrive as soon as possible!"

After hanging up, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief. With the police involved, Sister Yushu should be fine!

Although he thought this, Li Feng still felt uneasy and quietly came to the door, listening to the sounds inside.

Sure enough, the criminals, hearing no noise outside, seemed to relax and began to speak cautiously.

A criminal's voice sounded inside: "Old Three, is that guy gone?"

"Should be!" Another criminal walked to the door, looked through the peephole, and saw that the lights were off. He immediately relaxed.

"Hehe, good that he's gone!" The first criminal laughed lewdly. "Beautiful lady, we can have some fun now!"

The one called Old Three seemed a bit worried: "Second Brother, let's go quickly! Big Brother told us not to come out during this period. If he finds out we did this on our own, he'll beat us to death!"

"What's there to be afraid of!" The lecherous criminal immediately said, "If you don't say and I don't say, how will Big Brother know? Besides, can you bear to see such a beautiful lady and not do anything before leaving?"

"You're right! Hehe!"

The room was filled with lecherous laughter!

"Damn!" Hearing this, Li Feng's heart was filled with rage. You bastards, breaking into a house and robbing isn't enough, and now you want to rape?!

Li Feng suppressed his anger, quietly returned to his room, and grabbed a baseball bat he had won from a supermarket. He then returned to Chen Yushu's house.

"Sister Yushu, don't be afraid, I'm coming to save you!" Li Feng silently said to himself.
