Chapter 49
"Mr. Fu, it disappeared on Sunday..."
Chen Yuan was supported by someone and staggered into the office.
The shop assistant was very attentive. When she brought him ice water, she found that he didn't smell of alcohol, but he couldn't be woken up and looked dazed, which was not normal. So she urgently asked someone to run to Tianhong Group to notify the front desk.
Fu Chen looked up from the phone, his face filled with a heavy and terrifying gloom.
.....
Ten minutes ago.
"Yes, the young master just arrived and asked the staff to help carry a Tibetan mastiff into the room. He told us not to tell anyone, but you have instructed us to report if we find the young master doing anything out of line, so..."
Yuelan Hotel is owned by the Zhang family. A few days ago, the manager received instructions from Zhang Shixian that if the young master entered or left their hotel, he must be watched carefully no matter what he said or did. If he made any rash moves, he must be notified immediately.
"Yes, I just came in not long ago," the manager nodded.
Veins popped up on Zhang Shixian's forehead and he drove there immediately, shortening the 20-minute journey to 10 minutes.
The manager went upstairs with the boss, led him to room 825, and then left at high speed.
Ding Dong.
Zhang Shixian rang the doorbell.
Zhang Shiyao in the room had just hung up the phone when he heard the doorbell and asked in surprise, "Fu Yu is here so soon?"
Wang Xu: "Why do I feel like it's not him?"
Before the younger brother could stop him, Zhang Shiyao immediately ran to open the door. When he saw the person outside, his scalp tightened: "Brother? Why are you here?"
"Why am I here? I came to see the good things you have done!"
Zhang Shixian was furious and raised his hand to slap Zhang Shiyao. Zhang Shiyao reflexively raised his hand to cover his head, but one of his hands was still in a cast. When he moved, he cried out in pain and his nose and eyes wrinkled.
Although Zhang Shixian was angry, he couldn't bear to do it when he saw his brother like this.
He closed the door and looked at the Tibetan Mastiff on the ground.
Song Zhou immediately recognized him as the man in the elevator that day!
It turns out they are brothers!
There was no point in yelling at this moment. Song Zhouqi lay quietly, still pretending to be very weak, and only struggled secretly when they were not paying attention.
Zhang Shixian's temples throbbed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Shiyao, you are really great! Do you know whose Tibetan Mastiff this is?"
Zhang Shiyao covered one of his arms: "I know, he's the boss of the Fu family, otherwise why would I tie him up!"
"Then do you know how your arm was injured?"
"I know that too," Zhang Shiyao said, "He was beaten by the workers!"
"I told you you're stupid but you still refuse to admit it," Zhang Shixian said angrily, "I'm telling you clearly that it was you who hired someone to beat up Fu Yu, and Fu Yu designed to cause the workers to riot. He was taking revenge on you and our Zhang family! You're the only one who doesn't understand, and now you're provoking Fu Chen. Do you think Fu Chen is easier to talk to than Fu Yu?"
"No," Zhang Shiyao answered honestly.
Zhang Shixian's breath was stuck in his throat. After a few seconds of pause, he suddenly shouted, "Why did you bring his dog here? Are you crazy?"
Zhang Shiyao lowered his head after being yelled at by his brother, not daring to raise it, and said hesitantly: "I just want to get my Nicholas back. I don't want to abuse it. As long as I get it back, everything will be fine..."
"You think it's simple!"
Zhang Shixian rudely tore open his collar and looked at Wang Xu. Wang Xu stood up straight like a frightened cat, with his hair standing on end.
While their attention was on Zhang Shixian, Song Zhouxing continued to struggle quietly, and one of his front paws was about to break free from the rope.
Zhang Shixian looked at Song Xingqi again.
Song Xingqi was "dying", his eyelids were fluttering and he was about to faint again.
Zhang Shixian said, "Tell me about the process of getting the dog here."
Wang Xu told him everything about Plan A and Plan B, even how many meals he had during the surveillance and which takeout he ordered. After listening to him, Zhang Shixian was overwhelmed. He lifted the hem of his suit and paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his waist. Zhang Shiyao and Wang Xu followed him from left to right, and from right to left...
Song Zhouqi continued to wriggle his two hind legs...
Suddenly, Zhang Shixian stopped and his eyes fell on Song Xingqi again.
Oh no, Song Xingqi thought to himself, and immediately rolled his eyes and turned his struggle into convulsions: "Gu... Woo..." His voice was weak, and he was almost foaming at the mouth.
Zhang Shixian had no feelings for the pet and just thought that he was drugged by his brother. After all, his brother's brain was not capable of producing normal drugs.
"Fu Chen dotes on his Tibetan mastiff very much. This matter cannot be resolved peacefully. If we negotiate well, we will give him some compensation and Fu Chen will give us some face. If we negotiate badly, we will just send you into trouble."
Zhang Shiyao, who was checking on Song Xingqi's condition, whispered, "The worst that can happen is that he will be detained for a few more days."
"Detention? Are you so optimistic? I mean you're going to jail!"
"Ah?" Zhang Shiyao was stunned. He no longer cared about Song Xingqi and stood up and said blankly, "It's not that serious..."
Zhang Shixian slapped him hard on the head and said, "Think carefully with your brain!"
Zhang Shiyao screamed "Ah" and was awakened by the beating.
Previously, his family members tried their best to prove that he stole the dog instead of stealing money. Fu Yu could not produce the purchase certificate of the Husky, so he could not judge the specific price of the Husky. Although he had the purchase certificate, the Husky was still a puppy when the transaction took place, so it was unclear who the Husky belonged to. However, he did break into a private house, so he was detained for a period of time.
When it comes to the Tibetan Mastiff, the situation is different. It is 100% Fu Chen's pet dog, and there is both witnesses and evidence.
Let's talk about the price of Tibetan Mastiff...
Stealing a pet dog worth more than three thousand yuan is a criminal offense.
Zhang Shiyao turned pale.
Zhang Shixian: "Didn't you say that the place where we talked with Chen Yuan was a blind spot for road surveillance? If it was a blind spot, you are not afraid of him pointing it out. I think it is about to die. I will ask two people to put it in a sack and throw it away. After that, it will deny it to the death."
Zhang Shiyao: "But I've already called Fu Yu."
Zhang Shixian: “”
I'm going to have a cerebral hemorrhage.
Zhang Shiyao: “But I didn’t tell him where it was.”
Ding Dong.
The three of them were all shocked.
Wang Xu's lips trembled: "Could it be that Fu Yu found out so quickly?"
There was a howl outside the door: "Awooo, awooo, awooo... Awooo——"
Zhang Shiyao: "It's my Nicholas!"
Zhang Shixian: "Don't make any noise, I'll go take a look."
Looking out through the peephole, there was no one outside, only a husky. This husky was very familiar to Zhang Shixian. He would either dismantle the sofa or the bed. There would be cotton fluff flying everywhere in the house every now and then. He had also stepped on dog poop in his room more than once. He would recognize this husky even if it were ashes.
After confirming that there was no one else there, Zhang Shi opened the door first.
Qiu Zijie came in from outside.
Song Xingqi saw a handsome husky with gray and white fur, and it was also well fed. "Are you here to save me?"
Zhang Shiyao rushed over with tears in his eyes and hugged Qiu Zijie: "Nini, my Nini! You suffered, why did you come here alone, did you escape? It must be that Fu Yu, that bastard, usually doesn't care about you, so you ran away again. Fortunately, you ran back to me, my Nicholas~~"
Song Xingqi was stunned with his eyes wide open.
The excited heart cooled down a little.
The Husky has such a good relationship with the bad guy, can we still save him?
Qiu Zijie said: "It's me, Qiu Zijie."
"!!!" Song Xingqi suddenly raised his head from the ground, "Zijie! You are Zijie! You are Qiu Zijie?!!!"
Wang Xu was startled when he saw the dog's head suddenly raised: "???"
Song Zhouqi glanced at him, and then his head fell back to the ground and he continued pretending, but his eyes were misty with excitement.
He thought he was the only one who turned into a dog, just like a lonely person falling into the vast ocean, with no one responding to his calls for help. But suddenly one day, he met his former companion, and he felt extremely comforted.
"Yes, it's Qiu Zijie who often gives you private lessons," Qiu Zijie used this as proof, and then said, "The Husky turned out to be Zhang Shiyao's pet dog. He was not wary of me. We will find an opportunity to rush out later."
"Okay," Song Xingqi said quickly, "I have loosened all the ropes. I can get up anytime."
Qiu Zijie: "Just follow my instructions."
Song Zhouqi: “Yeah!!!!”
Zhang Shixian sighed as he looked at his brother who only had husky eyes, pinched his eyebrows, and walked to the bathroom: "I'm going to wash my face and think about what to do next."
"Brother, you are smart, you will definitely be able to think of a solution," Zhang Shiyao squatted on the ground and hugged Qiu Zijie's neck. He felt at ease to get the Husky back. Anyway, his brother could handle anything, and he only had to be responsible for flattering him and get scolded less in the future.
Zhang Shixian was so angry that he kept shaking his head.
Qiu Zijie is observing the situation.
There were three people in the room. Wang Xu stood the farthest away. He was tall and thin and looked like he had little physical strength. Zhang Shiyao was a disabled person, so there was no need to be afraid. The one with the best physical strength was Zhang Shixian.
As soon as Zhang Shixian entered the bathroom, Qiu Zijie suddenly raised his paw and kicked Zhang Shiyao's plastered hand: "Sorry."
"Ah——" Zhang Shiyao screamed in pain and sat down on the ground.
Qiu Zijie shouted: "Get up! Show your Tibetan mastiff's ferocity!"
Song Xingqi threw off the rope and jumped up, but he was ferocious... He didn't know what it meant to be particularly ferocious, anyway, he just roared with all his might: "Woof woof woof woof, woof woof woof..."
The incident came unexpectedly. Wang Xu wanted to help Zhang Shiyao, but Song Xingqi was yelling so loudly that he didn't dare to go forward.
Qiu Zijie opened the door: "Run!"
Song Zhouqi turned and ran out.
Zhang Shiyao struggled to get up: "Nini——"
In the bathroom, Zhang Shixian had just picked up a handful of water when he heard the noise. He hurried out and held Zhang Shiyao down, saying to Wang Xu, "Go after him."
"Oh oh oh," Wang Xu did not dare to disobey the order.
....
Qiu Zijie: "Let's take the stairs and run up!"
Song Zhouqi obeyed very well: "Okay!"
Two big dogs rushed into the corridor, and the two doors of the corridor made a collision sound. Wang Xu, who was following them, came out in a hurry, pushed the door and entered the corridor as well. He saw a ball of white hair of a Husky on the stairs going down, and ran downstairs without thinking much.
Qiu Zijie poked his head out from the top of the stairs: "He's gone downstairs, let's go out."
Song Xingqi followed Qiu Zijie.
Qiu Zijie: "I've stayed at Yuelan Hotel before. I know where the freight elevator is. Let's take it down."
Song Xingqi stayed close to Qiu Zijie, and walked with peace of mind, repeating the conversation he heard in the room word for word: "He wants to put my body in a sack and expose it in the wilderness. Will he let the hotel staff wait downstairs to catch us?"
"No," Qiu Zijie said, "According to what you said, since he wants to abandon you, then we can just run away and do what he wants. But he asked others to chase after him, so I'm afraid he wants to put the blame of kidnapping you on someone else."
Song Zhouqi: “That’s too bad!”
They left the hotel and met hotel staff on the way, and indeed no one was chasing them.
Only Wang Xu kept looking around at the hotel entrance.
Qiu Zijie led Song Zhouxing to run towards the park: "I was in a nearby park before, and Fu Yu was there. We will be safe once we get to him."
Song Zhou Xing was a little unhappy: "He watched someone die over the phone without helping."
Qiu Zijie said: "He is like this, his mouth is very poisonous."
Song Zhouqi nodded affirmatively.
Qiu Zijie: "When we meet him, help me step on him a few times. He won't do anything to you if you step on him. After all, you are his eldest brother's Tibetan mastiff."
Song Zhouqi: “Really?”
Qiu Zijie: “Really.”
One is a handsome Husky, and the other is a Tibetan Mastiff that is about to enter adulthood and already has a majestic aura. It is surprising to see these two large dogs running side by side on the road. Passers-by cast their eyes on them, watching them cross the road, walk past shop windows, and go in a certain direction without hesitation.
The city map was already in Qiu Zijie's mind, and he took Song Zhouxing back to the park by the shortest route.
Fu Yu was still sitting on the bench under the tree.
....
At the other end of the hotel, less than two minutes after Song Zhouqi escaped, Fu Chen arrived at room 825.
The man and the mastiff missed the opportunity.
Bang!
Fu Chen raised his foot and kicked the door.
Zhang Shixian was just closing the door when it suddenly opened. He had no choice but to step back and bump into Zhang Shiyao behind him. Zhang Shiyao was caught off guard and fell again, with his fractured hand adding insult to injury: "Why am I so unlucky..."
Fu Chen strode in, stepped on Zhang Shiyao's plaster arm, and said with a terrible look: "Where is my week?"
The plaster broke into pieces.
Zhang Shiyao was in so much pain that he was sweating coldly. He could no longer think about anything else and cried out in dismay, "It ran away on its own!"
Zhang Shixian's eyes turned black.
Why don't you say your brother is an idiot? Isn't that the same as admitting it directly?
"Fu Chen," Zhang Shixian said, "There is a misunderstanding about this matter. We can sit down..."
Fu Chen turned to Zhang Shixian and slapped him in the face: "I gave you too much face last time. Today, I am teaching you a lesson on behalf of Zhang Xianfeng."
Zhang Shiyao was stunned and stopped crying out in pain. He looked at his brother in disbelief.
His elder brother has been better than him since childhood and pleases his father in everything. As the younger brother, he is the only one who gets beaten and scolded. He never scolds his elder brother, let alone hit him. But today, his elder brother received the first slap in the face in his life.
Zhang Shixian wiped the corner of his mouth and spat out bloody saliva.
Fu Chen left.
Before leaving, he only left two heavy words: "Wait."
"Brother..." Zhang Shiyao sat on the ground, "How are you?"
Zhang Shixian: "You should ask yourself what the outcome will be."
Zhang Shiyao asked honestly: "What will happen to me?"
Zhang Shixian was furious: "Fu Chen means you will definitely go to jail."
Zhang Shiyao felt very aggrieved: "I just want my Nicholas back..."
As soon as Fu Chen left, the police rushed in, and a police officer downstairs asked the manager to retrieve the surveillance video. The manager kept wiping his sweat, because the police came too quickly, and they didn't have time to delete it. From Zhang Shiyao bringing the Tibetan mastiff into the hotel, asking employees to help carry it, to which room he entered, the surveillance video captured everything clearly, and it would be impossible for him to deny it later.
.....
Seeing the Husky bringing the Tibetan Mastiff back, Fu Yu stared at them in silence for a while.
Then, he called Fu Chen again and said, "Brother, I sent Xiao Ha to rescue your Zhou Xing. I will take them back to their residence first, in case they get lost again."
Two furry faces raised their heads and looked at him.
Qiu Zijie: "Did you see it?"
Song Xingqi: "Well, a shameless person is invincible."
Qiu Zijie: "Let's go, let's go back first."
Song Zhouxing hadn't forgotten something: "By the way, we agreed to step on him a few times."
Qiu Zijie said: "Step on it."
Song Xingqi passed over Fu Yu's instep, jumped happily behind Fu Yu, then went back to the front and passed over Fu Yu's instep again, stepping on him a few times with his front paws and then a few more times with his hind paws. Fu Yu lowered his head and frowned, but said nothing.
Qiu Zijie: "It seems that my judgment is correct."
Fu Yu drove the two large dogs home. The car was filled with either "woof" or "bark", and there was no room for anyone to talk.
Song Xingqi was really puzzled, and couldn't help asking on the way, how is the school? Why did they all turn into dogs? And whether Sheng Xiaoxing and Jiang Ling might also encounter similar situations.
To him, Qiu Zijie is omnipotent and omniscient.
Qiu Zijie licked his paw and said, "Not long after the dormitory building collapsed, the campus was changed and the school resumed normal teaching, but some injured students are still in hospital. From what I understand, none of us died on the spot, but are now lying in beds in a vegetative state."
"Vegetative?" Song Xingqi sat up in shock from his prone position. "So our souls have entered the pet dog's body?"
"It looks like this."
"surface?"
"These are just the information I found on the Internet. I haven't verified it with my own eyes," Qiu Zijie explained. "It would be best to find an opportunity to go into the hospital and see the real situation."
"After we understand this clearly, do we have a chance to return to our bodies?"
“It’s hard to say.”
Seeing Fu Yu observing them through the rearview mirror, Qiu Zijie raised his paw and pounced on Song Xingqi.
Song Xingqi was frightened and stepped back repeatedly, his body pressed against the window glass. There was a big puzzlement in his small eyes: "Zijie, is your soul not very stable, like a light bulb that loses power from time to time?"
"No, you jumped on me too. We have to behave like reasonable canines."
Song Xingqi didn't understand, but he just did what he was told. He pounced back at Qiu Zijie, opened his mouth, yawned, and lowered his head to rub against him.
"Oh," Qiu Zijie sighed, "I'll do it myself."
Qiu Zijie rolled off the back seat, whimpering meaninglessly a few times, then jumped onto the seat and rolled off again, his self-satisfaction leaving Song Xingqi dumbfounded.
Fu Yu withdrew his inquiring gaze.
As soon as he got home, Qiu Zijie grabbed a toy and swung it wildly.
Song Xingqi was so worried that his tail was almost tucked between his legs: "Zijie, what's wrong with you???"
"I can't act too smart," Qiu Zijie said, throwing the toy far away and then picking it up again. "I left the hotel room number for Fu Yu. If he told his brother the room number, they wouldn't be able to get away with kidnapping you, and you wouldn't have to deal with similar incidents again. But next, Fu Yu would be suspicious of how I knew the room number."
Song Zhou Xing unconsciously followed Qiu Zijie and said, "Can't we tell them? If it were you, you would definitely be able to explain our situation to them directly."
Qiu Zijie said: "I don't trust him. He is a very scheming and dangerous person. I don't want to reveal too much and cause unnecessary trouble."
If it is confirmed that they are indeed in a vegetative state and there is a possibility that they can return to their bodies, then Qiu Zijie will leave here after the Internet technology competition is over.
"Then I..." Song Zhouxing thought about his performance and felt ashamed. He did not think as long-term as Qiu Zijie.
"Your situation is different from mine," Qiu Zijie comforted him, saying, "It must be uncomfortable to be tied up with a chain, right?"
Song Xingqi was moved, and threw himself on Qiu Zijie and hugged him, whimpering about how difficult life was when he first came here, how he couldn't leave the cage, couldn't walk around freely, and how he was the only dog in the dark at night...
Qiu Zijie patted him with his paw.
Seeing Fu Yu's subtle look again, Qiu Zijie looked up to the sky and roared, then grabbed half of Song Xingqi's head in his mouth.
Song Zhou Xing: “….”
Fu Yu said calmly: "It still looks like a stupid dog."
Although it was Qiu Zijie, Qiu Zijie looked like a husky. Song Xingqi moved his head stiffly and said, "Zijie, let's play with toys. I'll help you. Let's act silly together."
Qiu Zijie: "Come on."
Together they pounced on the toy.
With a swish, the stuffed toy was torn into two pieces, and cotton wool flew all over the air.
Fu Yu clenched his palms, feeling a little itchy. In order to stop the dogs from getting too excited, he opened two portions of jerky, one for each dog, and shouted, "You two, take a break and come over to eat."
"Let's go," said Qiu Zijie.
Song Xingqi followed him and buried his two big heads in the food bowl and started eating.
After finishing the meal, Song Xingqi picked up the basin and wanted to throw it away, but when he met Fu Yu's sinister gaze, he had to put it back obediently. Qiu Zijie said, "You don't have to be afraid of him. He called his brother. His brother must be on the way. You have a backer."
"You're right, Fu Chen is coming soon!" Song Xingqi's eyes sparkled, and he suddenly became full of courage and picked up the food bowl again.
Bang! The basin fell out and circled on the ground with a clang.
They jumped onto the sofa again and grabbed the pillow together.
Sizzle——
Song Xingqi stood up, brushed against the cotton wool that was scattered in the air, and asked, "How is it, now Fu Yu won't doubt that you have a high IQ, right?"
Qiu Zijie twisted his body in the cotton wool and bent it into a half-moon shape: "I don't know if I can confuse him, but I have a feeling."
Song Zhouqi tilted his head: "What does it feel like?"
Qiu Zijie: "I might get beaten tonight."
