chapter 31

Fang Lizhe liked small animals very much. He was usually busy with work and had no time to raise them, so he often followed some pet forums and looked at photos of cute pets. The entertainment circle was a big dyeing vat. Only when he saw the simple and clear eyes of small animals would the pressure and fatigue recede from his body and he would feel pure happiness. Therefore, he knew the emotional reaction of dogs fairly well. Seeing their fierce appearance, with some even having scars, he immediately felt distressed. His gaze on the two men became even more angry.

He took out his mobile phone and took a video of them, saying, “You’d better not make a move. E even if you’re bitten, this video can prove that they were provoked.” He also pulled the keys out of the ignition of the truck in case they wanted to drive away.

The two men looked at his every move and knew that they couldn’t run away. They scolded angrily, “You have a lot of f*cking guts. You dare block my way? I’ll kill you!”

Before Fang Lizhe made any noise, Su Yuanyuan shouted at the dogs a few times, “Kick them! Step on them under your feet! As long as you don’t bite or scratch people, you can step on them!”

The dogs barked in unison, startling the two men, before running over. Then, several big dogs knocked them down to the ground. Before the men could react, their bodies and limbs had been firmly trampled on by the dozens of dogs. The fear of not being able to see clearly and being trampled on constantly scared them so much that they screamed loudly, with snot and tears coming out. They were afraid of being chewed into bones! With Su Yuanyuan’s command, the dogs naturally wouldn’t bite, but some of them were smart and naughty. They ran to the two people’s faces and peed!

Other dogs then followed suit. Soon, there was a strong smell of urine around them, and both of them were soaked in it. Even Su Yuanyuan was stunned and couldn’t bear to look directly at them. Fang Lizhe couldn’t help laughing. He showed his face in the video and said, “I was worried about these dogs running around and biting people. I didn’t expect them to be so organized and disciplined. They were all well-educated and knew not to hurt people. If these two unidentified men intend to deal with these dogs on the grounds of their own injuries afterwards, I hope that all the people who see this video can give justice to the dogs. This is valid evidence, and I’m a witness.”

There was no surveillance in this place, so Fang Lizhe regarded his mobile phone as monitoring, seeking to restore the facts so as not to let these two harm these dogs because of the loopholes of the law with regards to animals.

Just as the two on the ground were about to be smothered, two police officers arrived at the same time. The traffic police side of the incident was very simple. After all, it was not a premeditated case, as it just so happened that the terrain and the truck was too fast to slow down, almost resulting in a car accident. Both sides had nothing further to argue about, and soon stated their confessions and settled down. As for the punishment for truck drivers’ licenses, it had nothing to do with Fang Lizhe.

Fang Lizhe immediately explained to the police officer what he had seen, and also told them of his suspicion that the two men had stolen the dogs. The dogs were afraid when seeing so many people coming over, but with Su Yuanyuan around, none of them acted recklessly. They all retreated and sat aside quietly, so that the police could witness their good training in person at the same time, which made it even more obvious that the two men weren’t up to anything good. Otherwise, why would the dogs do this to them?

Without saying a word, the police handcuffed the two men, and after some trouble, they also found a warehouse where the group of dogs would be temporarily placed. The dogs were scared these days. When they saw the warehouse, they showed anxious emotions. Some scratched, some barked, and some didn’t want to go in at all. Just when the police didn’t know what to do, Fang Lizhe came up with Su Yuanyuan in his arms, and she barked twice. The dogs immediately went in obediently, sat or lay down quietly, as if they were suddenly unafraid.

Of course, the police wouldn’t suspect Su Yuanyuan, but tapped Fang Lizhe’s shoulder in amazement and gave him a thumbs up. “Brother is awesome! You have such good animal affinity? I think you must have some affinity that animals could feel. They became obedient as soon as you came. I wonder if you could do us a favor and take care of these dogs here with our colleagues? We will post information about them as soon as possible to help them find their owners, or just contact a good pet shelter and hand them over. Can you spare some time for a couple of days?”

Fang Lizhe had been feeling amazed by the behavior of these dogs, but he was genuinely worried about them, so he immediately nodded and said, “I have no problem with that. Let’s see, I’ll buy some dog food to feed them, and I’ll take care of them for the next 2 days. Can I post information about them on the Internet? I am familiar with some pet forums, maybe we can find their owners quickly that way.”

“That’s great. Later, we will post a message on our official blog, and then you can use this to go to the forum to find their owners. It would be a little more convincing. Of course, our colleagues will actively do these things too. Thank you, brother.”

“You’re welcome, I’m glad I can help.”

When the police officer left, Fang Lizhe left Su Yuanyuan in the warehouse and drove quickly to the pet shop to buy a lot of dog food of various flavors. He felt that these dogs must have been greatly frightened by this experience, so he bought a lot of small toys for them to bite and vent too. Considering their hygiene, he even bought several dog toilets, all of which were the most expensive ones in the shop. Then he invited a veterinarian to the police station to give some injured dogs medicine and injections. It could be said that he thought of every aspect.

When the police officers saw it, they thanked him especially. The officer in charge of their official Weibo knew that Fang Lizhe was the agent who had been smeared on the hot search recently. He also came over to talk to him for a while and was incredibly impressed with his very different personality from that portrayed in the online news. After that, the police officer asked his superiors for instructions, and then asked Fang Lizhe’s opinion. When the official police blog released the case information to find the dog owners, he directly tagged @Fang Lizhe.

They really appreciated Fang Lizhe. Otherwise, how could so many dogs be taken care of before the owners came to retrieve them? Without Fang Lizhe, the dogs could become very impatient and might hurt people. Besides, Fang Lizhe treated and fed them, saving the police some expenses. In a way tagging @Fang Lizhe was their recognition of Fang Lizhe’s character, and at least in this case, Fang Lizhe’s approach was completely well-intentioned.

Fang Lizhe forwarded it immediately after the official blog was sent, and appealed to netizens to help find the owners of the dogs. Recently, he was in the hot search list on Weibo, and people waiting to smear him were abound. With him taking on the role himself, it quickly attracted a lot of haters. But at the same time, more and more netizens noticed the content of his post. When they saw that he was praised by the official account of the police station, they became suspicious of the overwhelming haters. While leaving a message to ask people to be rational, they also forwarded the post and spread it around in passing. Before long, some bloggers contacted the police station and Fang Lizhe anxiously, saying that their dog was lost and they wanted to go to the police station to identify it as soon as possible.

On the Internet, there were those who scolded Fang Lizhe for using dogs to whitewash his name and make a big show out of it, those who suspected that he had been hacked, those who were touched by his kindness, and those who seriously wanted to help out the dogs. Fang Lizhe didn’t care about these. In order to help the dogs to find their owners faster, he started to take photos of each dog. At first, the dogs would get nervous as soon as he approached them. Then, Su Yuanyuan purred a few times beside him casually, and the dogs behaved themselves before looking at the camera to display a whole picture.

After taking a glance at Su Yuanyuan, Fang Lizhe quickly finished taking pictures to make a long Weibo post and posted them on the Internet and in major pet forums. The dozens of dogs were famous dog breeds. With one post, it instantly attracted a lot of pet lovers that spread it to help. At that time, many people analyzed from the pictures that the dogs were in a stable mood and trusted the photographer, which was almost impossible for dogs who had just been taken away, escaped, and brought to stay in an unfamiliar place. It can be inferred that Fang Lizhe should be a very kind-hearted person that even these dogs could accept his approach, compared to the other police officers who stood far away, afraid to come forward.

The photos also included the top quality dog food, small toys and dog toilets, as well as the figure of veterinarians applying medicine, showing that Fang Lizhe was a dog lover. Such a degree of care wouldn’t be from someone just trying to show off.

Although these analyses weren’t proof, they were well founded. Fang Lizhe’s overwhelming black history left him with no way out, which made more and more people pay attention to this matter. Now, some followers even turned and spoke up for Fang Lizhe. And because of this attention, Fang Lizhe instantly became famous in the circle of dog lovers. Before he even said much in major forums, everyone knew about it and called on other people to find the owners.

Previously, they were posting pictures of dogs to find lost dogs, but now they were posting pictures of dogs to find their owners. All the pet forums directly put his posts at the top, hoping to let more people see them. Within a few hours, hundreds of people contacted the police station, not only those who lost their dogs and wanted to identify them, but also those who just wanted to help out or adopt them. Fang Lizhe once again made the hot search list, but this time it wasn’t black material, but posts full of positive energy. The haters who came together like a tidal wave in the comment area before had no place to stand. They could only watch Fang Lizhe’s strong turn over, resulting with their previous days of hard work all in vain.

Feng Hui squeezed his phone to look at the online developments and was extremely angry. Fang Lizhe was unharmed and made such a big comeback too. He searched for several days to find such an extremely accident-prone location, but also inquired about the time that the truck would ship the dogs away. What dumb luck did Fang Lizhe swallow to be able to escape? He clearly had Fang Lizhe suppressed, with the whole Internet cursing him, but Fang Lizhe surprisingly could still turn over. Didn’t he just spend a few yuan for those dogs? What do you mean someone so kind he could never do bad things? Are all the people on the Internet fools?

He watched Fang Lizhe’s popularity get higher and higher, and he couldn’t help but call the water army. He forced his anger down and said, “I will give you 100,000 yuan. Press Fang Lizhe down to death. But if I can’t see the effect, don’t expect me to send the final payment!”

Feng Hui hung up the phone and smiled coldly. Crossing over to this great era is an opportunity given by God. Fang Lizhe, who knows the original owner best, is the greatest threat. Since he didn’t know what to do about him, he should just let the guy go to hell. Even if it doesn’t work this time, it will work one day!
