Chapter 24: Give Me Back My Dog

Chapter 24: Give Me Back My Dog

"Let me go! I'll bite you to death!"

"Shen Yu!! I'll kill you!"

"Boo hoo... stop hitting me, it hurts so much."

"It really hurts, stop it (crying face)."

Bai Yeye initially wanted to fight back, but his current strength was still far too weak compared to Shen Yu, leaving him completely powerless.

Shen Yu was hitting him for real, with his iron palm, merciless. Bai Yeye's poor little bottom quickly went numb.

Only when Yeye's voice became tearful did Shen Yu finally let him go.

"If you spout nonsense again, I won't let you off so easily next time," Shen Yu warned coldly.

Bai Yeye wanted to bite him defiantly, but he didn't dare, fearing his bottom would get another beating.

"Stingy! I don't want to go with you anymore! Hmph!"

"Then I'll have Bai Ruoshui's people come pick you up right now."

"You!" Bai Yeye was furious. After his chubby body trembled violently, he angrily chose the silent treatment to punish Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was equally stone-hearted and ignored him. This little mischievous dog had a loose tongue and needed to learn a lesson.

The man and the dog held out for a whole day, neither speaking nor eating.

As they approached the border route, they were stopped by the soldiers stationed there.

"Once you cross this route, you'll enter the lawless zone. Are you sure you want to go?"

In the lawless zone, losing money was the least of worries; losing one's life was the real danger. Most people traveled in large groups, but these two—one man and one dog—dared to go alone.

"Yes, please let us through."

The soldiers checked their spacecraft and found no contraband, but they discovered that they had been driving continuously.

"According to regulations, you need to stay here for eight hours before departing again. We hope you understand."

"Fine." It was time for him to rest, anyway.

When he woke up, he realized that Bai Yeye had run away.

He got off the spacecraft and asked the soldier from earlier: "Where did that chubby little dog from the ship go?"

"He asked me where he could buy food. I pointed him in the right direction, and he left."

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. So he was just hungry. During yesterday's silent treatment, he had offered food to Bai Yeye, who stubbornly refused. He must be starving by now.

"Could you tell me which way he went?"

"Just go straight along this road. In about 800 meters, you'll reach a small town. But the people there are a motley crew, so be careful you don't get cheated."

Places like this near the border are lawless and unruly.

"Thank you."

Shen Yu parked the spacecraft and walked over to look for Bai Yeye.

Upon arriving at the small town, he heard passersby sighing.

"Ah, what a shame about that pretty little dog."

"Yeah, it probably has an owner. I wonder how heartbroken the owner is."

A bad feeling arose in Shen Yu's heart. He stepped forward and asked, "Are you talking about a very chubby Samoyed?"

The passerby was startled for a moment before replying, "Yes, is he your dog?"

"Yes. Where did they take him?"

"He was lured away by some local thugs. Once they take him, he's as good as dead. If he's lucky, he'll be sold for a high price to a rich person as a pet. If he's unlucky, they'll skin him for his fur."

"Where did they take him?"

"Don't bother. Those guys are tough cookies," the passerby tried to advise him.

"Tell me where he is." Shen Yu's tone grew heavy and intimidating.

Fearing trouble, the passerby quickly gave him directions.

Shen Yu followed the direction they had pointed. At the end of the road stood a noisy, chaotic gambling den.

He was stopped at the entrance: "This isn't a place for just any stray cat or dog. Show me your capital."

Shen Yu said expressionlessly, "I'm not here to gamble. I'm here to find my dog."

"Your dog?"

"That white Samoyed."

The doorman burst out laughing: "Who can prove that's your dog? Once he enters this casino, he becomes the casino's dog. If you don't want to die, scram!"

Shen Yu's gaze darkened. "I'll say it one last time. Give me back my dog."

His imposing presence intimidated them, but their long history of bullying made them brazen: "Don't try to threaten us here. Do you think this is your home? Get lost now, or we'll get rough!"

Relying on their numbers, they moved to force Shen Yu out. Shen Yu grabbed the first one to act by the throat.

He didn't just grab him; Shen Yu lifted him up until his feet left the ground, so that he could meet the man's eyes at eye level.

"I'll say it one last time. Give me back my dog!" Shen Yu didn't want to get involved in this place, but he had to bring Bai Yeye back.

"You, you..." The choking man couldn't speak; his tongue lolled out as he struggled to breathe, his face turning red.

When they didn't respond, Shen Yu threw the man aside like a broken rag doll. The loud crash startled everyone in the casino.

"Who dares to make trouble here!" A tall, ugly alpha walked out.

His lackey quickly stepped forward: "Boss, it's him. He wants to take that fat dog away."

The man called the Boss stared at Shen Yu for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled warmly: "So it has an owner. In that case, we should indeed return him. Come, this way. I'll take you to go get your dog."

Shen Yu knew the man had ill intentions, but he wasn't scared. He followed him.

The man had planned to lure Shen Yu into a trap room and kill him there, but Shen Yu saw through the plan, pinned him down, and beat him until his teeth flew out.

“Stop, stop hitting me... I’ll return him, I swear I will! Are you all dead? Go bring that fat dog back now!” The man was beaten so badly he wouldn’t dare pull any tricks.

His men were almost in tears: “Boss! That fat dog is missing!”

“What! Didn’t you lock him up?”

“We did, but he really disappeared.”

“Boss, boss, you heard him—he really disappeared. It’s not that we don’t want to give him back!”

Shen Yu didn’t care where Bai Yeye was. He raised his fist: “You took him, so you’d better give him back.”

“We really don’t have him!”

Shen Yu beat them all, one after another, and the place was filled with wails of agony.

“Damn it, who the hell hid that dog? Just give him back already!”

“It hurts like hell. If we don’t give him back, someone’s gonna die!”

“That’s right. If you don’t hand him over, someone’s going to die.” Shen Yu looked at them coldly, with no pity in his eyes.

Stuffed and happy, Bai Yeye walked out of the grain store: “What are you doing here? Why are you hitting the guy who bought me dinner?”

The casino people: “You’re the man! You’re our real boss!”
