Seeing the little thing rub against his own body for a while before becoming lively again and getting up, he found it funny and held his hands, shaking them back and forth: "You heard that the bad people are going to be caught so you're feeling happy?"
Zuo Ning wagged his tail: "Woof" I'm happy. As long as you're here, I'm happy.
Lu Chenghe saw his foolish and happy appearance and also followed after him by smiling. Although he didn't know why this little thing was happy, seeing him recover his spirit made him also let out a sigh of relief. Poking his nose: "Your behaviour wasn't bad today. You did a good thing so in a moment, you'll be rewarded with half a peach to eat."
The Lu family's speed when it came to important tasks had always been fast. Not even half an hour after Lu Chenghe sent the message, the related department's people had already begun to consolidate the investigation. However the people living in this area halfway up the mountain were all wealthy people so those staff members didn't have sufficient evidence and could only investigate their circumstances. After that, they went to each and every home to spread the word.
Though news travelled fast and nearly everyone knew story behind the matter, a puppy capable of running over there to the Lu family manor could have only come from the villa area on this side. As the Lu family manor was in the middle, the distance from the other two manors was at least two times as far as from the villa areas.
Thus, a lively discussion started in the villa area. It was likely that they all never expected that someone capable of living here would unexpectedly be a pervert who liked to abuse dogs. For a moment, people who raised a pet at home started to get nervous for fear that their own beloved pet would meet with murderous hands when they aren't paying attention.
In a villa facing the lake, a woman with a delicate and pretty appearance was nervously holding her cell phone and talking over the phone. Unknowingly, she heard what was being said over there and that originally somewhat nervous expression became a bit sinister in a flash. Fearing that she would be heard by people, she deliberately lowered her voice: "Careful? If you had really been careful, how did that little thing escape? And of all people, it ran over to the Lu family. Don't you know what kind of people the Lu family are? If they really wanted to use all their strength to investigate, then I'd be in trouble!"
On the other side was a slightly older female and there was also a cruelness and maliciousness apparent in that voice: "How was I supposed to know that the thing that obviously had a single breath remaining would actually bite back and take the opportunity to run away? And I was actually bitten! You're also being nervous and treating everyone as an enemy. Those people of the Lu surname have that many idle workers to go investigate thoroughly? These days, you should just stop playing and after a while, we can discuss again after the period of crisis is over."
Hearing those words, the woman seemed to be a little relieved and less nervous but she still anxiously said: "Are you sure that nobody saw and that it wasn't captured by a monitoring system?"
The other side of the telephone assuredly spoke: "Relax. It wasn't my first time walking on that road. I'd already checked it many times, there are no cameras there. In any case, don't lose your head. I'm sure that no one knows."
The woman thought and thought. She also felt that she was overly nervous. In the future, if she was a little more careful, then she was sure that no one would find out. She ended the phone call and rubbed her face. Looking out at the tranquil lake from the window, her nervousness also went down.
That woman was a novel author called Shu Wan. Though her looks weren't considered to be beautiful, her figure was delicate and pretty and her facial features made people feel very comfortable. Being fond of wearing a simple dress, she seemed very classy. Shu Wan definitely wasn't from a well-off family. Though they weren't considered impoverished, they couldn't be considered to be affluent. Later, she by chance started to write some Internet novels that followed the trends. Finding that the earnings were considerably impressive, she resigned from her job and wholeheartedly invested in her creative work.
Two years ago, she'd written a Xuanhuan novel and the reaction wasn't bad. Afterwards, it was adopted into an Internet TV series and in the end, it became popular overnight and she also became acquainted with her current husband. Her husband really liked Shu Wan's simple temperament in addition to the fact that Shu Wan stayed at home and wrote novels during the day. Her social life was clean but she wasn't a woman incapable of attaching herself to a man which made her husband more and more pleased.
Merely, no one knew that beneath Shu Wan's gentle and refined exterior was this kind of abusive heart. In her childhood, Shu Wan had pinched little tadpoles to death, choked small hamsters to death, even made a little white rabbit fall to its death. At that time, she'd only felt that it was amusing. After growing up, this kind of amusement had already gradually warped into a pleasure.
When the sharp blade cuts through the soft skin of those little things, hearing their mournful and miserable shrieks without the power to resist and struggle. That kind of psychological and physiologically produced double pleasure was something that men couldn't give her.
Shu Wan gradually lost herself in this kind of of pleasure, so much that she got more and more addicted to it. Furthermore, the one helping this tyrant to victimize her subjects was her older female cousin. In order to prevent her husband from finding these things out, Shu Wan was always careful. Every time, her older cousin would bring an abandoned cat or dog that was mute either by poison or having its vocal cords cut out to her house's basement, letting her wantonly play with it. Occasionally, there would be one or two young dogs of a rather good breed which would excite her desire to abuse even more.
After she'd almost finished amusing herself, her older cousin would take the dog away and dispose of it. Over the past two years, they'd never been discovered. In addition, her older cousin could gain benefits from coming here every time so she'd done it with all of her heart. The two people's cooperation where each took what they needed was very harmonious, but they didn't expect that this time, it would have unexpectedly run away.
Shu Wan thought and feared that she couldn't be abusive for a period of time. Just when she'd gotten jittery, her husband came back from outside. When he came back, he'd seen security guards seemingly patrolling for something so he asked without thinking much about it. Shu Wan shallowly smiled and spoke about the matter.
The man was rather lamentful: "I didn't think that here, we'd actually have this kind of person. I hope that they'll be found quickly. Luckily, we don't raise any pets and don't need to be worried about suffering from any evil schemes."
Shu Wan's eyes were briefly lowered before she gently and considerately stepped forward to take her husband's jacket and briefcase as per usual.
Just when Shu Wan's husband was preparing to close the door, they heard the sound of two dogs fiercely barking coming from behind.
Shu Wan was taken aback and unconsciously, she began to panic. On the contrast, Shu Wan's husband calmly turned around to see a middle aged man leading along two very dashing German shepherds. Those two dogs faced his location and shouted out in that direction.
Shu Wan, who was behind him, then had a completely white face.
