Chapter 57

The pit bull, unbound, charged at Su Zhe like a fierce tiger. The thug believed that as long as the pit bull attacked, Su Zhe would definitely beg for mercy.

Unfortunately, the thug was wrong. Su Zhe was a tough person, one who didn't back down easily. Facing the pit bull's charge, he casually picked up a stick from the ground and struck the pit bull's head.

Although Su Zhe's attack was hasty and not at full strength, his current power made even a casual strike quite powerful.

The pit bull was knocked to the ground, but being the world's most ferocious dog breed, it recovered and charged at Su Zhe again. Su Zhe raised the stick and struck the pit bull again. He had now seen the pit bull's ability to endure pain during a fight. Because pit bulls secrete testosterone faster than other breeds during a fight, the high concentration of testosterone temporarily makes them insensitive to pain, allowing them to fight for a long time. They only feel pain when their hormone levels drop.

The pit bull was knocked down by Su Zhe time and time again, but it continued to charge at him, determined to fight to the death.

Finally, Su Zhe broke the pit bull's leg with a fierce blow, ending the fight. The pit bull lay on the ground, whimpering, unable to get up. Only then did it feel the pain, crying pitifully to its owner.

But the thug ignored it and continued to yell at Su Zhe, "Damn it, you beat my dog like this. If you don't give me 100,000 yuan today, you won't be leaving."

The thug, of course, wouldn't mention why the pit bull was beaten so badly.

"If I still don't give it to you," Su Zhe said calmly.

Hearing this, the thug immediately rushed at Su Zhe, planning to use his physical strength to teach Su Zhe a bloody lesson and make him give up some benefits. However, he wasn't stupid. Su Zhe had a stick, and he was unarmed. As the saying goes, a group of sticks can beat a master.

Since some people were renovating nearby, a few children had secretly taken some sticks to play with and left them there. So there were some sticks lying around.

Thus, as the thug rushed over, he also picked up a stick and struck Su Zhe fiercely, aiming for his head, showing how vicious he was.

If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to withstand the thug's attack. But Su Zhe, after multiple trainings, was no longer ordinary. Not only was his strength greater, but his reaction and speed were also much faster than an average person's.

Facing the thug's attack, Su Zhe saw his opportunity and struck the thug's hand with the stick, hitting his tiger's mouth.

The thug, in pain, dropped the stick.

Without a weapon, the thug was like a lamb before Su Zhe. Su Zhe didn't want to let the thug off easily and decided to teach him a lesson to make him remember.

Su Zhe kept striking the thug with the stick, not using much force, but it was enough to cause pain. Because Su Zhe's strikes were fast, the thug couldn't defend himself, let alone counterattack.

After a few strikes, the thug fell to the ground, curling up and crying pitifully, begging Su Zhe for mercy.

Su Zhe knew the thug wouldn't repent so easily, so he ignored his pleas and continued. Moreover, the thug's reputation was bad, and no one came to his aid.

Su Zhe only stopped when he was tired. Although he didn't use much force and didn't target vital areas, it was enough to keep the thug quiet for a few months.

Su Zhe threw the stick away, picked up the baby, and called for Xiaolong to leave together.

On the way,

"Baby, were you scared?" Su Zhe asked, a bit regretful for letting the baby take care of Xiaolong alone. If the baby was scared, he would regret it.

"Baby isn't scared. Baby has big brother to protect her, and Xiaolong will protect Baby too." It seemed this incident didn't affect the baby much.

Xiaolong, as if understanding that the baby was praising it, barked at Su Zhe, as if asking if it was brave.

Seeing that the baby's eyes were still as usual, without fear, and her heart rate hadn't increased, Su Zhe felt relieved.

After returning home, An Xin took the baby to bathe. Since An Xin arrived, she had been responsible for the baby's daily hygiene.

After the baby finished bathing, Su Zhe took Xiaolong to the bathroom to give it a bath.

Xiaolong was curious when Su Zhe brought it to the bathroom, looking around. But when Su Zhe turned on the shower and tested the water temperature, sprinkling warm water on it, the fearless Xiaolong tried to escape, not cooperating at all.

Su Zhe forcibly held it down, preventing it from running away. Once the warm water soaked Xiaolong's body, Su Zhe squeezed some shower gel into his hand and evenly applied it to Xiaolong's body.

As Su Zhe rubbed, Xiaolong's body was covered in bubbles. It seemed to feel comfortable and stopped resisting, standing still as Su Zhe bathed it. Finally, Su Zhe rinsed Xiaolong's body with warm water.

After the bath, Xiaolong shook its body, trying to get rid of the water, wetting Su Zhe in the process.

Worried that Xiaolong might catch a cold, Su Zhe quickly found a clean towel to dry it and then used a hairdryer to dry its fur.

If the hairdryer was set to the highest temperature, Xiaolong would struggle to escape, but at a moderate temperature, it would cooperate, making Su Zhe laugh and scold Xiaolong for being picky.

Once Xiaolong was dry and stopped shaking, Su Zhe let it play.

Bathing Xiaolong had almost soaked Su Zhe, so he went to the room to get a change of clothes and took a shower himself.

When he came out of the shower, the baby and An Xin were playing happily with Xiaolong.

Su Zhe found the bowl he used for Xiaolong in the afternoon, poured some warm milk and water, and prepared to feed Xiaolong.

As soon as Xiaolong saw Su Zhe with the milk, it abandoned the baby and An Xin, ran to Su Zhe, wagging its tail, and tried to please Su Zhe, hoping to get the milk.

Su Zhe put the bowl in front of Xiaolong, patted its head, and ignored it, knowing that the amount of milk he poured wasn't much and wouldn't make Xiaolong overeat.
