"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Bursts of barking erupted outside—by this time, many people had already fallen asleep.
This caused Shen Feng, who had been lost in thought, to focus his eyes attentively. His parents must have been dreaming by now, and he certainly did not want the barking to wake them.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
The relentless barking persisted, prompting Shen Feng to rise from his seat and walk toward the balcony.
Several other people also went out onto their balconies, cursing loudly.
"Who owns that mangy dog? Can't people sleep at this late hour?"
"Are they insane? This is a high-end villa community. Who would be so immoral as to let a dog out in the middle of the night?"
"I'm calling the property management. We pay them so much in fees every year, and this is the service we get?"
...
After cursing, many people returned to their rooms, probably to call security to deal with the situation.
