There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

Chapter 106 What does it mean to be broke but drive a Mercedes?

Tanuki is awesome!

Lu Fang silently recited it in his mind.

Socialite Tanuki: "I sent out all the brothers with the best sense of smell to follow the scent of that dog leash. The scent went all the way north and has now left Yanling City."

"Yanling City is occupied by various forces, so it's not convenient for my people to go out. Otherwise, it's easy for other forces to see it as a provocation, which could lead to a chaotic war."

"However, Sparrow Know-It-All led his flight squadron to follow. The air force is not bound by the ground force, so they barely managed to keep up with the other side. This guy is currently located here."

During the group chat, Tanuki sent out his location.

Lu Fang opened the map and couldn't help but swear.

"Holy crap, is this dog crazy? It ran over twenty kilometers in just a few days?!"

Socialite Tanuki: "It's still moving. If you chase after it, Sparrow Know-It-All will update the real-time location in the group."

Sparrow asked, "That's right, that's exactly it."

"Thank you for your help, I'll be right there."

Lu Fang put away his phone and rushed back to the pet hospital. Just as he was about to push his little donkey, he was stopped by Xu Yi at the front desk.

"Brother Fang, where are you rushing off to?" Xu Yi had just finished trimming the nails of a Ragdoll cat that had just had a check-up when she saw Lu Fang covered in sweat and quickly asked.

"Grandma Tang's baby has been found. Someone provided information that it has already left the city. I don't know if it was abducted. I have to catch up and check, and bring it back as soon as possible." As Lu Fang spoke, he rummaged through the drawer at the front desk for his electric scooter key.

"Out of town? That must be over twenty kilometers!" Xu Yi returned to the front desk, rummaging through her small bag. "Can you catch up on your electric scooter?"

"My old buddy is still up to par. Twenty-odd kilometers shouldn't be a problem. I'll get back to you now, I need to hurry and check on things. I'm leaving the shop in your hands."

Lu Fang finally found his electric scooter key and was about to rush out when Xu Yi suddenly grabbed him.

"I want to go too! There aren't many appointments at the shop today, and I've finished everything I needed to do. With Dr. Liu there, it should be fine." Xu Yi pouted and started to act coquettishly.

"Xiaoyi, it's not that I don't want to take you, but my old scooter is second-hand. The battery isn't working well. One person can barely keep up, but two people really can't," Lu Fang said, shaking the scooter key in his hand.

"So you mean, if you can catch up, you'll take me with you?" For some reason, Lu Fang felt that Xu Yi had two sharp horns sprouting from her head and a small tail peeking out from behind her. She was clearly a malevolent demon!

He put on a pained expression: "Of course! It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my little electric scooter is no match for it. Next time, next time I'll definitely take you, okay?"

Just as Lu Fang was thinking of making an excuse to leave, Xu Yi, looking like she had succeeded in her scheme, blocked his way and showed him what she was holding: "You said you'd take me with you if you could catch up, here, take this."

"Holy crap?" Lu Fang rubbed his eyes, staring intently at the car keys in Xu Yi's hand, gazing at the Mercedes emblem on them, then looking at the innocent-looking girl in front of him, momentarily speechless: "Mercedes? Where did you get a Mercedes car key?!"

"It's my car, so what? You can have an electric scooter, but I can't have a car?" Xu Yi made a face.

"No, this is a Mercedes-Benz!"

"A person can't have both inferiority and a Mercedes at the same time. Where did you get that from? Aren't you always complaining to us about being poor? And you even asked me to pay you a higher salary." Lu Fang took the car keys and wanted to examine them to see if they were lighters.

"I really don't have any money!" Xu Yi said, hands on her hips, completely unconcerned. "Didn't you see I've never driven it? I've barely driven it since I bought it, and my meager salary can't even cover the gas!"

"This is a coming-of-age gift from my dad. My dad is rich, but I'm not. What, do you look down on poor people?!"

Alright, alright, my little darling, compared to you, I'm the poor one.

Lu Fang dared not refute. Only now did he belatedly realize that the young woman in front of him was even richer than he had imagined; she was practically a rich second-generation.

Why bother starting your own business? Just grab onto a big player!

He shook his head, trying to clear those thoughts from his mind.

Lu Fang, you've fallen!

You should create wealth with your own hands; how can you think about living off a woman?

Waaaaah, but living off a woman is so delicious!

"Let's go, let's go. You just promised me that if you could catch up, you would take me with you. You can't go back on your word!" Xu Yi pushed Lu Fang and walked out. They soon arrived at the parking space next to Tiancheng Community.

Lu Fang looked at the brand-new Mercedes-Benz C260 in the parking space and tentatively pressed the key in his hand.

"Beep beep beep".

The car headlights flashed twice.

"By the way, do you know how to drive?" Xu Yi plopped down in the passenger seat.

"I've passed my driving test, but I haven't driven a car much." Lu Fang shakily got into the driver's seat, reached out and gripped the leather steering wheel, feeling that everything still felt so unreal.

"Why don't you drive?" It's no wonder he was scared; Mercedes are expensive, and if he scratched or bumped one, given his current net worth, he'd have to pay for his pet hospital.

"I can't drive." Xu Yi rested her chin on her hands, leaning on the dashboard and looking at Lu Fang, her big eyes blinking.

"If you can't drive, I'll buy you a Mercedes?" Lu Fang was speechless; comparisons are odious.

"So what? It's a coming-of-age gift, it has nothing to do with whether I can drive or not." Xu Yi pouted, "I can't help it, the second part of the driving test is too hard, I took it eight times! Eight times! Do you know how I got through it?"

"Let's go." Lu Fang was really at his wit's end. Based on Xu Yi's experience of failing her driving test eight times, even if she got her driver's license, he wouldn't dare to ride in her car.

It's more reassuring to have your life in your own hands.

Using his phone's navigation app, Lu Fang drove his Mercedes-Benz towards his destination, guided by the location provided by the "Sparrow's Inquiry" app.

On a summer afternoon, the scorching sun seemed to melt the asphalt road.

Looking at the constantly updated location in the group chat, Lu Fang felt a little puzzled. The flight team responsible for surveillance had already changed shifts several times. If Lu Fang hadn't been driving, he would have been sweltering in the heat.

What could possibly make a beagle risk the scorching sun and the possibility of a car accident to run wildly out of the city?

He didn't understand.

After a long journey of more than an hour, the GPS finally stopped.

At that moment, Lu Fang arrived at an old village that was being demolished. He turned off the engine, looked around, and Xu Yi, in the passenger seat, opened her eyes and asked somewhat blankly, "Are we here?"
