Chapter 853 It’s all fake
The young man frowned, not quite believing it. "It's just a puppy, isn't it? How much can it eat?"
"What do you usually feed it? It's not some particularly expensive beef or lamb, is it?"
If that were the case...
The young man calculated his company's budget and realized that they probably really couldn't afford to keep him!
Ye Wanxi smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, Feng Tianyu, who was sitting on the other side, raised his hand and patted Tan Tou's head, and whispered, "Open your mouth and let him see your teeth."
Just then, their car pulled up at a traffic light, and the two people in the front seats looked back curiously.
The next second, the tiny black dog, no bigger than a palm, suddenly opened its mouth, revealing several huge and sharp teeth.
Despite being just a tiny puppy the size of a palm, the two of them felt a chill run down their spines the moment they saw those sharp teeth, and their backs were instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Having dealt with various search dogs for years, the two men immediately recognized that Charcoal Head's teeth were not canine teeth, but rather the teeth of a standard carnivorous beast!
It looks like a dog, but it has teeth that don't belong to a dog. What is this thing?!
"It...it..."
Seeing that the two were frightened, Ye Wanxi reached out and patted Tantou's head to calm it down, and it clung to her like an ordinary puppy, acting cute.
"Charcoal Head is no ordinary dog. As for what it is... I can't say for sure. I can only remind you that its diet is quite varied, and the most famous of its dishes seems to be dragons."
Cold sweat poured down the young man's forehead. Dragons are legendary creatures, and those who feed on them are no exception.
Among them, the most famous is the infamous ferocious beast, Hou.
Although the truth is somewhat unbelievable, it's not so hard to accept when you think about the fact that it was Miss Ye who said it.
The young man's head was buzzing, and he became increasingly aware that he had just done something stupid.
He actually asked Miss Ye if she would be willing to sell them a Hou (a mythical beast). You see, besides the legend that Hou likes to eat dragon brains, there's also a record that describes Hou as [a beast resembling a dog that eats people].
Not only dragons, but they themselves are on its menu. If he really takes this thing back today, I'm afraid the people in the whole building won't see the sun tomorrow!
"Does it...do it...do it eat people?" After a moment of internal struggle, the young man couldn't help but ask the question.
Ye Wanxi considered it for a moment and then said truthfully, "It wouldn't dare to be near me."
The two people in the front seats breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly, "Please make sure you keep a close eye on it."
The two felt both relieved and worried. They were relieved that someone could still keep an eye on it, but worried that one day even Miss Ye might not be able to keep an eye on it anymore...
However, given Ms. Ye's relationship with the special department, this ferocious beast has probably already been reported to its superiors.
Since Miss Ye is still taking care of it this way, it is probably the best solution after weighing the pros and cons.
Having figured this out, the two of them looked at Ye Wanxi and the other person with even greater caution.
For the rest of the time, the two people in front of them kept silent, fearing that they might learn some big secrets they shouldn't know from the two of them.
Ye Wanxi wasn't idle either. With the help of Tantou, the external translator, she roughly understood the current situation of Ji Yafeng and her daughter.
After the man and woman took Ji Yafeng and her daughter away, they hid them in the basement of a farmhouse.
Dahei also heard the two arguing, which suggests that they weren't particularly united.
Led by Dahei, the group quickly found the farmhouse.
Fearing that suddenly barging in would provoke them into a desperate act and harm the two hostages, Zhai Yizhong and the others drove the car to a distance of over a hundred meters from the courtyard and then stopped.
From a distance, the two could see a slender woman standing in the courtyard. The weather had been nice these past few days, and the temperature was relatively high, so at least they didn't have to be wrapped up like a ball.
The woman in the courtyard was dressed entirely in black, from head to toe, even covering most of her face except for her eyes, giving off a gloomy and eerie feeling.
“I’ve already had someone retrieve the information on the owner of this courtyard. The woman living here is named Yao Lihua, she’s thirty-five years old, and she moved here six months ago and has been living here ever since. There’s basically no information about Yao Lihua from six months ago, so it looks like a fake name. Her identity information is also most likely all fake.”
After finishing his sentence, the police officer turned to look at the Ji and Zhai families and asked, "Do you remember this woman?"
The men shook their heads: "None of us know this woman."
"It doesn't seem like it was someone they knew who committed the crime." But why would the child be willing to go with this woman? That's a bit puzzling.
However, the most urgent task is to rescue them as soon as possible.
"Let Big Black take the charcoal. They're less wary of these animals than people."
If someone else had said this, the group might have thought the other person was giving nonsensical advice.
The two young men who had unexpectedly learned the true nature of the little black dog in the car looked at the dog almost instinctively when they heard Ye Wanxi say this, and couldn't help but feel a subtle sympathy for the two thugs.
"Ahem, Miss Ye, saving lives is the priority. Just make sure they are incapacitated."
The implication was clear: they mustn't let the little black dog use the guise of a mission to eat them, otherwise they wouldn't be able to explain themselves.
"Don't worry, Charcoal Head knows what he's doing."
Mr. and Mrs. Ji were unaware of the little black dog's capabilities, but they were still uneasy: "Is it really safe to just let this dog in? What if they have something..."
"Don't worry, if a fight really breaks out, you never know who will come out worse."
The Ji couple: "???" Isn't this just a puppy? Is he that powerful?
Despite their worries, they had no say in the matter and dared not act rashly, so they could only accept the arrangements made by the group.
Just as Ye Wanxi had expected, although the two committed the crime together, they were not as united and harmonious as she had imagined.
While Ye Wanxi and the others were arranging for Tan Tou to go in and investigate, the woman in the courtyard angrily kicked the wall and turned around to go back into the house.
Not long after, a heated argument broke out inside between a man and a woman. The reason for their argument was not the usual infighting over the division of spoils that often leads to fights during kidnappings.
The two disagreed on how to get money from the Ji family and how to deal with Ji Yafeng and her son afterwards.
"Didn't we agree before that the adults would be yours, the children would be mine, you would want the money, I would want the people, and we wouldn't interfere with each other? Now you've suddenly changed your mind. If you want to exchange these two people for 50 million, even if you emptied both families' coffers, you might not be able to get that much. Aren't you afraid they'll resort to desperate measures if you keep doing this?"
