Chapter 957 Xiao Bao and Black Dog Fight
Monkey was forced back by Gu Bei, seeing no advantage in the slightest. His forehead was sweating with anxiety. He suddenly reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a long-hidden anesthetic needle, the tip of which shone coldly. Taking advantage of Gu Bei's moment to dodge, he fiercely stabbed the needle into the man's arm—thinking this would solve the problem. Unexpectedly, the beggar acted as if nothing had happened, as if the stab was just a piece of straw. Instead, his eyes widened and he pounced on him like an enraged leopard. Terrified, Monkey retreated repeatedly, not even bothering to care about Heizi, whom he had just kicked away.
"Bang!" A deafening bang erupted. Xiao Bao, who had been watching from outside the courtyard, grew impatient and, unwilling to wait any longer, kicked the wooden door hard. The old door cracked, and the bolt fell to the ground with a clang. Amidst the scattering of sawdust, Xiao Bao appeared at the doorway, his eyes as cold as winter ice, devoid of any warmth.
Ran Qiuye in the room was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She shrank back suddenly with the child in her arms, her back against the cold wall, her lips trembling, and her throat felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton. She couldn't utter a word, only tears welled up in her eyes.
Xiao Bao took two steps forward, his heavy military boots making a dull sound as they stepped on the ground. His eyes fell on the child in her arms like a venomous snake, and his tone was gloomy: "Just follow me honestly, I promise not to use force. If you don't listen, don't blame me for being rude, and don't force me to use force."
Ran Qiuye struggled to stand, digging her nails into her palms. Using the pain to muster up the courage to ask, "How did we offend you? Why did you insist on arresting us, mother and son?"
"You didn't offend me, it was Gu Nan who offended someone he shouldn't have." Xiao Bao curled his lips and revealed a cruel sneer. "Just follow me obediently and do me a favor. I promise not to hurt you and your son, how about that?"
As he spoke, he reached out, trying to pull Ran Qiuye's arm. Just then, a dark shadow swooped out from behind the nearby pile of firewood and pounced on his arm like a streak of black lightning—it was Heizi! He had somehow managed to break free from the monkey's grasp, and now, with bloodshot eyes and a threatening growl emanating from his throat, he rushed forward like a madman to protect his master.
Xiao Bao reacted quickly, jerking back and narrowly avoiding Heizi's sharp teeth. However, the dog's claws still slashed his arm, causing a burning pain as a piece of his skin was scraped off. He looked down at the snarling black dog before him, and a sense of inexplicable fear welled up in his heart. The dog's eyes were fierce, as if it was ready to fight him to the death. That kind of ferocity was something he had never encountered in all his years on the road.
Xiao Bao instinctively reached for the pistol at his waist, his fingers already touching the cold handle, wanting to teach this reckless dog a lesson. But Heizi, as if seeing through his thoughts, let out a deeper growl from his throat, his limbs tensed like a fully drawn bow, and pounced on him again, biting down on his trouser leg tightly, his sharp teeth almost embedding into the fabric.
Ran Qiuye huddled in a corner, holding her child. Tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string, hitting the child's swaddling clothes. But she could do nothing but cry. She could only watch Heizi struggle with Xiao Bao to protect her, her heart aching as it felt like it was about to break.
Jia Zhang, who lived across the courtyard, had already brought a small stool and peered through the crack of her door for a long time, her mouth almost grinning from ear to ear. She was so happy in her heart, she wished that something would happen to Ran Qiuye and her daughter. As long as they were captured, Gu Nan would definitely go crazy to rescue them, and by then the other side would be outnumbered and might beat him to death. Once Gu Nan died, wouldn't his spacious house, brand new furniture, and the pomegranate tree in the yard that bears fruit all belong to him? Then Jia Dongxu would move all of Gu Nan's things over, and Banggeng would have a decent house to live in, and his life would definitely be ten times more comfortable than it is now! The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became. She even started to think about how to decorate the east wing with windows in Gu Nan's house, and even figured out where to put the cabinets and tables.
Jia Zhang didn't know who Gu Nan had offended, but looking at the posture of Xiao Bao and his gang, each of them looked ferocious and had weapons in their hands, she knew they were not easy to deal with. She just watched motionlessly, unwilling to blink, hoping to see the result she wanted soon.
Xiao Bao was distraught, angry, and frustrated by Heizi's harassment. He hadn't expected this unassuming black dog to be so formidable. He'd practiced martial arts for over a decade, and even three or five strong men couldn't get close to him. Yet, dealing with a mere dog was a struggle. Heizi, like a plaster, clung to his trouser leg, refusing to let go no matter how hard he kicked or hit. His red eyes held only a resolute determination to fight to the death.
Xiao Bao grew increasingly irritated by Heizi's harassment. He dodged constantly, occasionally lashing out at the dog with the steel pipe, but Heizi always nimbly avoided it. He didn't notice the flash of human anxiety in Heizi's bright black eyes—he knew he was just an ordinary black dog and couldn't reveal his true form. Otherwise, with his skills, he would have easily defeated Xiao Bao.
"Gu Bei, hurry up! I can't hold on any longer!" Heizi urged urgently in his spiritual consciousness, his fangs chattering as he stared at Xiao Bao's movements.
Gu Bei was in the middle of a fight outside the courtyard, and when he heard Heizi's voice, he became even more anxious. He glanced at the entrance of the alley, unsure when Tong Ren and the police would burst in. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Hold on! I'll be right in!" As soon as he finished speaking, he punched the man in front of him in the face. Taking advantage of the man's pain and retreat, he rushed two steps towards Gu Nan's house, but was stopped by three or four people again.
Heizi had no choice but to deal with Xiao Bao in the room. Sometimes he would sneak under the table, sometimes he would jump onto the edge of the kang, knocking the chairs and pottery jars in the room to all sides, deliberately preventing Xiao Bao from getting close to Ran Qiuye.
Xiao Bao was completely overwhelmed by it. This dog was not only ferocious, but also possessed an uncanny intelligence, as if it could read his mind. He panted heavily, blood oozing from the wound on his forehead and dripping onto his collar, but his eyes grew increasingly sinister—he had to get rid of this dog first!
Elsewhere, Tong Ren and the police were rushing toward the courtyard, but the entrance to the alley was completely blocked by a horde of beggars who had appeared out of nowhere. These beggars seemed to be going crazy, grabbing the police officers' legs, scratching and biting, and refused to let go no matter how they were scolded, making the team's progress extremely difficult. Tong Ren, sweating profusely, pulled out his gun and fired a shot into the air: "Get out of the way! Anyone who is interfering with public service will be arrested!" But the beggars were stunned for a moment and quickly rushed forward again.
