-"What do we do now? Those people won't be deranged enough to rush over and infect Chang Yu with syphilis too, will they?"
Yan Junye paced in anxious circles. He had barely enjoyed a few days of the good life as a dog before facing another challenge.
Ke Yichun was a scumbag. Chang Yu had only received the test results that morning.
Who knew when he had been fooling around in bed with Ni Lejia? Now he had come to make a scene, just to shirk responsibility and gain a moment of psychological comfort.
Watching Xiaotu spin in circles made Chang Yu dizzy. "I know you're worried about me, but you should have faith in your owner's abilities."
After being accused, he had immediately posted the test report he had received online.
The report showed that the results had come out that morning, proving that he had not known beforehand.
He had also stated that he had never met Ni Lejia in person.
Yan Junye stopped and looked at Chang Yu with an expression that said, How do you still not get it?
-"You think I'm worried about you? I'm worried about my life of lying flat as a dog."
Chang Yu was not annoyed. "Don't worry. If I really do stop living, I'll send you to a good owner."
Although Yan Junye had effectively died once himself, he could not bear hearing about other people dying, especially someone he had lived with day in and day out.
Even if he did eventually find a good owner, he still hoped Chang Yu could live as happily as he did now.
He barked angrily, reared up, and jumped to smack Chang Yu's not-so-clever little head with his paw.
[Syphilis isn't incurable! If you dare kill yourself, I'll tear apart your home and office before you can!]
[Not only will I wreck your home, I'll also seize my chance to hump the leg I never got to hump before!]
Chang Yu had not expected this dog to literally walk all over his head. That smack had not held anything back.
Since Xiaotu was concerned about him, he would let it slide.
But a verbal warning was still necessary.
Otherwise, Xiaotu would certainly push his luck and assume he could smack his head whenever he wanted.
He could not indulge such a bad habit.
He bent slightly, pointed at Xiaotu's nose, and warned, "There are limits to rebellion. Don't touch places you're not allowed to touch-"
Before he could finish, the dog's paw landed on his head again.
Chang Yu: "..." This was outright rebellion.
-"You're already planning to kill yourself. What's wrong with letting me bully you a little before you die?"
Yan Junye was still brooding over Chang Yu's remark about not living. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
Chang Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was the one dying, yet he was also the one getting hit. He really had it rough.
He took the dog's paw off his head. "It was hypothetical. I'm not actually going to kill myself."
"But since you're so angry, you must not want me to leave." Chang Yu began employing emotional tactics.
"You love me so deeply that no one else will do. I won't send you away."
Yan Junye shot him a sideways glance. Why did it feel like Chang Yu was deliberately saying the opposite?
He did not love Chang Yu deeply. Chang Yu was the one who loved Yan Junye deeply.
He wagged his tail and tapped out a question with his paw: so what was your plan?
Chang Yu did not beat around the bush, afraid he would get hit again otherwise. "Ni Lejia posted all their names online. Most of them are married, so their spouses will be the first to question them."
"Even the unmarried ones have parents who've fought their way through life. They won't let their children off easily for contracting syphilis."
People lived in society. Contracting syphilis was not just a personal matter.
Someone would go after them.
Just as Chang Yu finished speaking, heart-rending sobs and shouting rose from downstairs.
The man and dog stood at the window to watch what was happening below, opening it so they could hear better.
The woman downstairs seemed to have lost her mind, oblivious to everything around her.
"Do you have any fucking conscience? What if you pass the virus to me? I'm pregnant! What if you pass the virus to the baby?!"
The man she was hitting shoved his wife away impatiently. "My test results aren't even out yet! Stop spouting bullshit here!"
He did not even know whether he was safe himself. How could he be in any mood to care about his wife and child?
"Get lost! Get lost!"
The woman, whose entire world seemed to have collapsed, was particularly difficult to shake off. The man shoved her angrily, then punched her in the head in his fury.
Soon, people who appeared to be the man's parents arrived, and they likewise hit their brainless son in the head.
"Still making a disgrace of yourself here! Take him home. Don't let him out until he's cured. Don't you find yourself disgusting?!"
-"This man really deserves to die." Yan Junye truly wanted to eliminate him in the name of justice.
Chang Yu asked Xiaotu, "Do you know what lesson this teaches us?"
Yan Junye turned his head, speechless.
-"Are you sure you want to lecture a dog? Dogs are meant to be spoiled unconditionally, you know?"
He indicated that he did not want to guess and simply asked with his eyes, What?
Chang Yu answered, "Hit other people in the head, and sooner or later, you'll get hit in the head yourself."
Yan Junye: "..." He strongly suspected Chang Yu was threatening him.
He chose to pretend he had not understood and continued watching the show.
The man downstairs was still refusing to back down, pointing furiously at the Evergreen Company as though it owed him his life.
"Chang Yu knew Ni Lejia was infected! He treated all us rich people like clowns. Are we supposed to put up with that?!"
"I'll fucking make Chang Yu and Ni Lejia die with me!"
-"Men like this are terrifying." Chauvinistic, irresponsible, and unwilling to take accountability.
The man's parents ignored his furious shouting. With a wave of a hand, they had the bodyguards forcibly take him away.
More and more people downstairs were taken away. Some refused to obey their parents and were beaten down with sticks before being carried off.
Chang Yu closed the window. "The world is finally quiet."
Yan Junye felt that the matter had not really been resolved. Ni Lejia had exposed it online, and it was bound to cause a huge uproar.
He opened his phone, and sure enough, Weibo's trending searches were full of the incident.
#Ni Lejia taken away by police for investigation
#Ni Lejia says he was forced
#Chang Yu knew
#The financial world is messier than the entertainment industry
-"These people infected with syphilis may have been dragged home, but what if their parents side with their children and target Chang Yu?"
Those older people would be even harder to deal with.
Yan Junye fretted like a mother hen, then looked up at Chang Yu again. He looked completely calm.
"Within a few days, someone is bound to lose patience and try targeting me to test the waters." Chang Yu could already envision roughly how things would unfold.
He had already posted the evidence clearing his name. Reasonable people were still in the majority, but there were certainly unreasonable people too.
The unreasonable ones definitely would not let him off. With the title of "master" he now bore, everyone would first choose to quietly wait and see.
It was just a question of who would lose patience and make the first move.
Looking at it that way, Xiaotu really had helped him a great deal.
Without the title of master, and with Chang Liao away, those who had a problem with him would have very few reservations about acting against him.
He patted Xiaotu's head. "When the time comes, I'll need you to show a master's abilities."
As long as he shot down the first bird to stick its head out, the other birds would wisely choose to stay quiet and protect themselves, unless they truly had no secrets.
Yan Junye glanced at Chang Yu. He knew Chang Yu meant for him to go gather gossip among the dogs.
He took out his phone and typed.
[How about we make a deal?]
Chang Yu had a feeling it would be nothing good. "What deal?"
[I'll help you, but you have to let me hump your leg once!]
