After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Let's go, get in the car."

Lin Li opened the back door, gesturing for Su Qian to get in, and said, "Let them smell your scent so they can protect you in the future."

Su Qian looked at the three large dogs that were still drooling and shook her head frantically, "No! I won't sit! Get them away! Get them away right now!"

"Su Qian".

Lin Li's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten what happened yesterday? If they had been there, Wei Dan wouldn't have had a chance to take you away."

"The company is busy right now, and I also have some things to do, so I can't be by your side all the time. They are more than enough to protect you."

When yesterday's events were mentioned, Su Qian's body stiffened.

She bit her lip, looked at Lin Li's expression, and finally gave in: "Then...then keep them away from me..."

On the way home, Su Qian huddled in the passenger seat, clutching the seatbelt, her eyes glancing fearfully at the back seat every now and then.

Black Tail and Old Nine sat obediently in the back seat, occasionally peeking out curiously, wanting to sniff the fragrant woman in front of them.

But every time he tried to move, he would be frightened by Su Qian's terrified eyes or stopped by Lin Li's light cough.

As for the most frightening Lao Ba, he was kicked into the trunk by Lin Li and was resting his chin on the back of the seat in a wronged manner.

"Lin Li...do you really have to keep them?"

Su Qian held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but complain, "How am I supposed to meet clients with them? If people see me going out with three big dogs, they might think I'm a gangster."

She felt that Lin Li was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"You've dealt with the Gan family, crippled Wei Dan, and even the Ming family treats you with utmost respect."

Su Qian kept looking back and muttered, "Who in the whole company would dare to touch me now? I feel safe enough as it is, there's no need to make it so scary."

Lin Li gripped the steering wheel, looking ahead, and said, "Su Qian, you're too naive."

"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Although the Gan family has temporarily bowed their heads, it's because they're afraid of me, not because they've been killed."

"Give them a chance, and they'll definitely bite back."

He was also a little puzzled as to why the Gan family hadn't made any move. When the Gan father and son left Chujian Culture, their eyes didn't look like they were going to give up.

"and."

Lin Li turned to look at Su Qian and said in a deep voice, "There are probably more people in this world who want to harm you than just the few you know."

"You'd better not gamble your safety on a one in ten thousand chance."

Su Qian opened her mouth, and although she still felt some resistance, she knew that Lin Li was doing it for her own good.

"Okay... I'll do as you say."

She muttered something, then cautiously glanced back, "Do...they eat people?"

Thinking of what happened in Zhangjia Village, Lin Li couldn't help but sneer: "Don't worry, they only eat bad people. As for you, they'll only wag their tails."

Back at our lodgings, as soon as we entered, the three dogs each found a place to lie down.

Lei Xiangqing didn't ask Lin Yuehua to cook; she just ordered takeout.

When Lin Li returned, Lin Yuehua's eyes darted away. She hadn't yet recovered from the embarrassment she felt that afternoon, and forced a smile as she said, "Xiao Li, Qianqian, you're back. Go wash your hands and have some dinner."

Lin Li and Su Qian didn't notice anything unusual about her and obediently went to wash their hands.

While eating, Su Qian saw braised pork ribs on the table and subconsciously picked up a piece to throw to the black-tailed dog at her feet—this dog looked slightly more pleasing to the eye.

"Don't feed it."

Lin Li quickly stopped Su Qian's movement.

Why?

Su Qian was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Don't they eat meat?"

"They are working dogs and cannot eat human seasonings, as it would affect their sense of smell and bodily functions."

Lin Li explained, and then said, "Moreover, we can't let them develop the habit of begging. I will prepare special food for them."

"Are there really so many rules?"

Su Qian pouted, somewhat bored: "There are too many rules now."

As she ate her meal, she thought about what had happened that afternoon, then looked at Lin Yuehua and asked, "Weren't you supposed to be handing over the project this afternoon? What exactly happened?"

Lin Yuehua's hand trembled slightly, and she forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing, it's just... we ran into a bit of a dispute over demolition and had a few words exchanged."

"It's nothing serious."

Lei Xiangqing silently ate her rice, and when she heard this, she only glanced at Lin Li without exposing him.

Lin Li placed a piece of braised pork on Lin Yuehua's plate and said casually, "Let's eat. We can talk about work tomorrow."

Although Su Qian found Lin Yuehua's expression a bit strange, she didn't think much of it, since disputes during demolition are common.

Moreover, since Lin Li always picks her up from get off work on time, it shouldn't be a big deal.

After dinner, Lin Li still gave the bedroom to the three women and slept on the sofa in the living room with a blanket.

On their very first day, the three dogs enjoyed the privilege of sleeping in the same room as their new owner.

In the bedroom, Lin Yuehua lay on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep peacefully.

As soon as she closes her eyes, the hideous faces from the daytime and the blood spurting into the air replay in her mind.

"No...don't come any closer..."

She struggled a few times in her sleep, and cold sweat began to bead on her forehead.

"don't want!"

Lin Yuehua suddenly woke up, gasping for breath, her heart pounding wildly.

Su Qian, who was sleeping soundly beside her, was not woken up by her.

Lin Yuehua dared not sleep anymore; she wanted to talk to someone to ease her fear.

Thinking of the man sleeping on the sofa, she couldn't help but put on her coat and quietly open the door.

A dim nightlight was left on in the living room.

Lin Li was lying on the sofa, seemingly asleep.

Old Eight, who was lying at his feet, looked up when he heard the noise, and after seeing that it was Lin Yuehua, he buried his head back down.

Lin Yuehua walked to the sofa, looked at Lin Li's face, and suddenly tears streamed down her face.

"A small gift..."

She called out softly, her voice filled with grievance and lingering fear.

Lin Li wasn't actually asleep. He woke up as soon as Lin Yuehua opened the door, but he didn't open his eyes. Hearing the call, he immediately sat up.

"Auntie? What's wrong?"

By the light, he saw that Lin Yuehua's face was very pale and covered in tears.

Did you have a nightmare?

Lin Yuehua nodded, her body still trembling: "I...I dreamt about those people...I dreamt they were going to capture me...Xiao Li, I'm so scared..."

The strength she displayed during the day was gone; she was just an ordinary woman.

"Don't be afraid, it's all over now."

Lin Li stood up, wanting to pour his aunt a glass of warm water.

But Lin Yuehua suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly with both hands, buried her face in his chest and cried bitterly.
