There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

Lu Fang's status in the group has risen significantly in recent days.

First, he got information about the gray mouse toy, then he helped plan a tasting event, and more importantly, he could even order around a veterinarian!

Currently, his status in the group is second only to Brother Tanuki and the Sheriff.

But today, Lu Fang was actually bullied.

Not only were they kicked out of their homes, but they even tried to swallow their rental deposits.

My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can't!

The guy with legs 1.8 meters long spoke first: "Dude, forget everything else, you're my dearest friend, my brother! Where does this old woman live? I'm going to take a dump in front of her house tomorrow!"

I have a renovation plan: "Coincidentally, I have a renovation plan, and I can also provide on-site services."

A dog walk costs one bone per visit: "I know that old lady. She lives in Building 6. I often see her when I walk my dog. She likes to chase stray cats with a broom and doesn't give us a friendly look when she sees us."

Just as everyone was exchanging glances and making their own comments, Brother Tanuki stepped forward.

"I'll take this job."

"Didn't I owe you a favor regarding the protection money last time? I'll pay you back this time."

As expected of Tanuki, he speaks with considerable arrogance.

"Maybe we should just forget about it." Lu Fang looked at the indignant people in the group and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

But they are just a bunch of defenseless little pets. Revenge? How can they get revenge?

Don't end up getting yourself into trouble.

That old woman didn't look like a kind person.

Brother Tanuki: "Forget it? There's no such thing as 'forget it' in Brother Tanuki's dictionary. Just wait for my good news."

After saying that, Tanuki quickly logged off.

To be honest, Lu Fang didn't really expect Brother Li to be able to help him resolve this matter.

You know, catching mice and finding lost cats and dogs are Tanuki's strengths, but dealing with people? Forget about it.

He made up his mind that he would go to the landlady's house after get off work tomorrow to get his deposit back, and if that didn't work, he would call the police.

In this society governed by the rule of law, are people really allowed to be bullied?

But the next day, when Lu Fang stood in the rented room, looking at the police and the unreasonable landlady in front of him, he was speechless.

Oh no, we've really been bullied.

"Officer, it's really not my fault! The contract clearly states in black and white that pets are not allowed. He made the house covered in dog hair, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to withhold his deposit! That's called following the contract!"

In the mediation room, the landlady sat with her legs crossed and her arms folded in front of her chest, looking completely unfazed.

The young police officer in charge of mediation sighed helplessly and turned to Lu Fang: "Young man, this is an economic and contractual dispute, and our police station can only mediate. Since the other party doesn't accept mediation, we can't enforce it. If you really can't swallow this, you'll have to sue her in court."

"Go ahead and sue me! Sue me in court!" Hearing this, the landlady became even more emboldened. She picked up her flashy sequined handbag and stood up like a victorious old hen. "I'll see how much energy you have to waste against me!"

After saying that, she walked out of the police station with her high heels swaying her hips.

Lu Fang stood there, his teeth itching with anger. This old woman knew that ordinary workers didn't have the time or money to go through the lengthy legal process, which was why she dared to rob him so brazenly.

Outside the police station, the sunlight was a bit dazzling. The landlady strolled slowly towards Tiancheng Residential Area, taking out her phone to dial the number of her mahjong partner.

"Hey, Sister Wang! Oh, don't even mention it, I just got out of the police station. Some stinky young guy from out of town rented my place and dared to break the contract by keeping a dog! I kicked him out! He even tried to call the police to get his deposit back? It's hilarious!"

After hearing something said on the other end of the phone, the landlady covered her mouth and laughed heartily: "That's right! A laborer who can't even afford food dares to mess with me? I'll drag him down with me! Perfect, now that we've got his three thousand yuan deposit back, let's go to that beauty salon downtown this afternoon and get that high-end hyaluronic acid injection package. I've been getting fine lines around my eyes lately..."

After hanging up the phone, the landlady hummed a little tune and strolled back to Building 6 of Tiancheng Community.

She lived on the second floor and had a fairly large open-air balcony. Just as she was in a good mood and was about to take out her keys to open the door, her foot suddenly went weak, as if she had stepped on something.

At the same time, a foul stench assaulted the skull.

The landlady looked down and saw that her new high heels, which cost more than a thousand yuan, were firmly planted on a huge pile of dog poop that was still steaming.

"Ahhh!!! Whose damn dog is so blind as to poop in front of my house? Don't let me catch it!"

The landlady's screams of collapse echoed in the hallway. She dry-heaved and rubbed the soles of her shoes, taking a good while to calm herself down.

With a dark expression, she opened the door and rushed onto the balcony, wanting to open the window to let in some fresh air.

But when she saw the view on the balcony, she almost fainted.

She had just washed and hung out to dry three high-end silk dresses yesterday, and they were covered with dense, dark cat paw prints. Not only that, but there were also a lot of cat hairs on them, as if two cats had been engaged in a fierce battle on her balcony!

"What a terrible thing! These damned beasts!"

The landlady was trembling with rage. Without even bothering to clean the clothes, she hurriedly put on her shoes and rushed to the property management office of Tiancheng Residential Complex, yelling at the top of her lungs, "What's wrong with your property management? How come a cat has broken into my house and even pooped on my doorstep, soiling my freshly washed clothes? Check the security footage! Don't let me find out which family did it; I want them to pay for it!"

The security guard wearing a hat immediately stood up and led her to the monitoring room at the back. Everyone in the neighborhood knew Mrs. Zhang's formidable reputation; she was extremely difficult to deal with.

If they don't cooperate, the property management company won't have a peaceful life in the future.

Tiancheng Residential Complex recently replaced a batch of surveillance cameras, and coincidentally, one of them faces the balcony of the landlady's house.

The image scrolled across the screen, and soon two dirty stray cats were seen sneaking onto the landlady's balcony, where they began to writhe and roll around, even engaging in a lively and enjoyable fight.

The landlady was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder!

"Whose cat is this?!" Her voice trembled with anger.

"This is... a stray cat," the security guard said timidly.

If this were someone else's pet cat, this video would be irrefutable evidence, and they would definitely be able to get some compensation. But the problem is a stray cat; who can you ask for compensation from?!

"We're going to sue your property management company! Their management is terrible!" The landlady was so angry she was almost incoherent.

"But we've been working here for seven or eight years, and this is the first time we've seen something like this. Don't you think about whether you've offended someone?"

The young security guard was still talking back when the seasoned, experienced guard next to him pinched his back hard, finally silencing him.

"Fine, fine, you just wait!"
