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

"Looks like there's nothing more for us to do." After the two left, the two police officers exchanged a glance and didn't linger. Only Lu Fang, Xu Yi, and Qin Zhuyan remained in the small pet shop.

"Brother Fang, what's going on? How come that policeman seems to know you?" Xu Yi stared wide-eyed at Lu Fang in surprise.

She had seen the police officer's attitude just now.

"It's a long story," Lu Fang said, shrugging. This was indeed something unexpected.

"Is it related to what happened last night?" Qin Zhuyan couldn't help but ask.

She had initially worried that Lu Fang had been called to the police station for some other reason, but now it seemed to be a good thing.

"Do you still remember Charlie?" Lu Fang walked to the cashier, picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and gulped it down.

He rushed back as fast as he could, without even having a sip of water.

"Of course, that little guy is quite cute. Have you found its owner?" Xu Yi walked to his side.

"I guess so." After throwing the empty bottle of mineral water into the trash can, Lu Fang continued, "Charlie was actually stolen by dog ​​thieves. I followed Charlie's route back to the thieves' hideout, went there last night, and rescued all the dogs."

He said it casually, but Qin Zhuyan and Xu Yi both opened their mouths wide in surprise upon hearing it.

"You rescued them in one trip? It's that easy?" Xu Yi looked incredulous. "Weren't those dog thieves supposed to be ruthless and vicious? They're criminals, and you took them down all by yourself?"

It's no wonder she was suspicious. Although Lu Fang was almost omnipotent in her eyes, the idea of ​​him single-handedly breaking into the criminals' hometown and rescuing all the hostages sounded incredibly bizarre.

"So last night when the police brought you back, you were covered in blood and passed out because of this?" Qin Zhuyan looked at Lu Fang in front of her, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

"Yes." Lu Fang didn't feel comfortable explaining too much. It was indeed a bit strange that he had single-handedly rescued the dogs. However, he couldn't say much about Tanuki and the police chief. He could only accept the credit and make it up to everyone later.

"By the way, what's going on with you? Why did they come to our door?" Lu Fang changed the subject, glancing at Xu Yi beside him and tapping her forehead with his finger: "Isn't this during working hours? What are you doing here?"

"I'm off today. I sent you a message yesterday but you didn't reply, so I thought I'd come to Sister Qin's shop to find you. But as soon as I got here, I saw that person violently kicking all the customers out of the shop. I couldn't stand it, so I stood in front of Sister Qin."

"I don't know how they found us." Qin Zhuyan's expression was somewhat sorrowful. "I haven't been back for almost twenty years, and I've basically never contacted my family in recent years."

Before he could finish speaking, a head suddenly popped out of the doorway.

Jiang Feng led me in, holding a hand, and asked with some curiosity, "Sister Qin, didn't your father come?"

In an instant, three pairs of eyes were fixed on him.

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Fang spoke first.

"The literal meaning?" For some reason, Jiang Feng felt a chill in the eyes of the three people in front of him. "I only found out recently that Sister Qin and I are from the same hometown, Baoying Village. I went home a couple of days ago. Isn't Sister Qin's Hello Pet Shop thriving in our Tiancheng Community?"

"When we got back, everyone was discussing pet bathing and grooming. I thought Sister Qin did a good job, so I recommended her to everyone. The person we were talking to was also from Baoying Village and came to Yanling City to develop his career, so he lived nearby."

"As soon as I pushed the shop over there, someone recognized her and said that Sister Qin was from our Baoying Village and looked a lot like the daughter of Old Qin from the east end of the village."

"Later, that person left, saying he would ask Old Qin. That's when I found out that Sister Qin and I were from the same hometown."

"And then?" Qin Zhuyan frowned.

"Then I don't quite understand, it seems your dad recognized you and said he didn't expect you to be doing so well in Yanling City. He said it had been so many years since he'd seen you and wanted to catch up." Jiang Feng, completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, cheerfully said, "Sister Qin, you're really not kind of you. You didn't even say we were from the same hometown, otherwise I would have come to support your business."

The three of them exchanged a glance.

Good heavens, the culprit has been found.

"Xiao Fang, see the guests out!"

"Oh, right, check how much money is left on his VIP card and refund it all to him. Then blacklist him and we won't provide him with any more services!"

Qin Zhuyan slammed her hand on the table and decisively ordered the guests to leave.

Lu Fang grinned maliciously, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to push Jiang Feng out the door.

Xu Yi was not to be outdone, and picked up a broom to help.

Before Jiang Feng could react, I realized what was going on and immediately started throwing a tantrum on the ground, refusing to leave no matter what.

What a joke! Lu Fang just made a great contribution in the group chat, not only helping to rescue the black-skinned PE student, but also saving the sheriff. Everyone is now proud to be able to shop at Hello Pet Store. As one of the first dogs to shop at the store, I also received a lot of attention.

Now it's suddenly going to be blacklisted, how is it going to survive in the group after this!

"No, why are you kicking me out?!" Jiang Feng cried out in confusion, "No, Sister Qin, Brother Fang, what did I do?! Let me die knowing why! I was just trying to help you promote your products!"

"It's all your fault, you almost got our Sister Qin in big trouble!"

Jiang Feng meant well, after all, and Xu Yi felt a little sorry for him, so she explained the whole story to him.

"You mean, Sister Qin's father is a beast, indulging in everything from drinking and gambling to whoring and smoking. When he was little, he couldn't afford it, so he sold Sister Qin's favorite dog, Dahuang, to a dog meat factory. His brother is a little beast, a pure bloodsucker. He hasn't looked for a job since graduation and just sponges off his parents every day. Sister Qin finally managed to break off relations with them, but now they've come knocking on her door again."

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Feng stood there, stunned, his eyes glazed over.

So, I'm an animal too?

"If it weren't for Sister Qin, I really wouldn't have known about this. Otherwise, I would never have said anything." He groaned in despair, feeling like he wanted to die.

Qin Zhuyan had worked so hard for so many years to escape the troubles of her family of origin, but one sentence from him dragged her back into the mire.

"I know you didn't do it on purpose, otherwise you would have been kicked out by now," Qin Zhuyan said irritably.

"Sister Qin, please give me a chance to make amends!"
