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

Late at night, on the balcony of the property management building in Tiancheng residential community.

Tanuki stood on the balcony, overlooking the night view of the entire Tiancheng residential area. Next to it was a half-eaten can of imported meat.

It seemed to hear the noise behind it; its ears twitched slightly. Without turning around, it asked softly.

"Has the challenge been delivered?"

"Hmm." The visitor was the sheriff who had just returned from delivering the challenge: "Three days later, the unfinished building in the south of the city."

"However, the other party is a bit more arrogant than I imagined. They said we've been too comfortable for too long and it's a good thing to give up sooner."

"Interesting." Instead of getting angry, Brother Tan laughed: "Have these guys forgotten how I took over Tiancheng Residential Area back then?"

"It's not about words, it's about real fists."

It lazily turned around, its eyes shining frighteningly: "Back then, Tiancheng Community was much more chaotic than it is now. Everyone was doing their own thing, and besides dealing with each other, we also had to be careful of humans."

"In one week, I fought against all seven major gangs, and that's how Tiancheng Community came to be what it is today."

"You think a blind little thing can just steal it like that?"

"Alright, alright, I know you were quite brave back in the day." The sheriff had heard this old story countless times over the years.

"This situation is a bit different. Just relying on brute force probably won't work. Things are different now." The sheriff squatted down next to Tanuki and began to analyze the situation: "One-Eyed Dragon's men all came from urban villages. The terrain there is chaotic and full of all sorts of people. I saw them today, and they are all extremely wild. It's hard to say what will happen if a real fight breaks out."

"One-Eyed Dragon is right. We did have a period of peace here. Although we still have the skills we used to have, we are still a bit weaker compared to these desperados."

"In your opinion?" Tanuki was never a reckless brute.

This is called mentally despising the opponent while tactically respecting them.

"I just had a brief meeting with them. The one-eyed dragon has quite a few subordinates, and their combat strength is not weak. However, they have a fatal weakness: their subordinates were all forcibly subdued by force. Some of them clearly show their dissatisfaction with them, but they dare not show it due to the difference in strength. We can try to defeat them one by one."

"In addition, compared to their combat power, our advantage lies in discipline and logistics."

"For these three days, I suggest we use all the protection money we've saved up to provide for everyone, so they can eat and drink their fill and recharge," the sheriff said thoughtfully.

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

Tanuki waved his hand and directly relayed the sheriff's order.

It has to be said that with the sheriff as a strategist, Brother Li has been saved a lot of trouble: "With you in charge of planning our Tiancheng Community, I really feel much more at ease. From now on, I'll just call you Sheriff Zhuge."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. You have a lot to do these three days, so I won't bother you any longer." The sheriff stood up.

"Is there something you need?" Tanuki asked, somewhat curious.

"Then don't worry about it. Contact me immediately if anything happens." The sheriff jumped off the balcony, leaving Tanuki with only a dashing back view.

Pet chat group in Tiancheng Community.

Socialite Tanuki: "Brothers, the stray cats in the south of the city are trying to steal our food and drive us out of Tiancheng Community. There will be a life-or-death battle in three days. We hope you can all help us get through this!"

"Legs 1.8 meters long: What's going on here? Why are those stray cats from the south of the city coming to Tiancheng Community? Are they crazy?"

A dog walk costs one bone per visit: "It seems like the urban village in the south of the city has been demolished. I happened to pass by it the other day when I went out for a walk. Big trucks and excavators were shoving their way in, and they've demolished everything. There's practically nothing left."

"So they were kicked out? No wonder they wanted to take our territory. Everyone knows Tiancheng Community is a hot commodity."

Don't turn your back on me: "@Socialite Tanuki, Tanuki, need us to gang up on you?"

Socialite Tanuki: "Thank you all for your kindness. After all, this is a matter for the homeless community. If you really help, those guys in the urban village will definitely try to deny it. Rules still need to be followed. But don't worry, this little thing is a piece of cake for us!"

With legs 1.8 meters long: "Brother Tanuki is awesome!"

Good fortune is coming! "Brother Tanuki is awesome!"

Don't turn your back on me and say, "Brother Tanuki is awesome!"

My goodness! "Brother Tanuki is awesome!"

Lu Fang had just crawled out of the bathroom when his phone vibrated. When he opened it, he found that Brother Li was giving a pre-battle pep talk.

"What's going on? Stray cats taking over territory?" He casually grabbed his bath towel and rubbed his wet hair.

How did these little guys manage to make such a big splash without making a sound?

He's been so busy lately that he doesn't have time to read the group chat, since most of the time it's just those guys with super long legs chatting away.

The renovation of the pet hospital is almost complete. In about five days, the pet hospital will be able to officially open to the public.

I never expected something like this to happen at this critical juncture.

Judging from what Brother Li said, the other party's intentions were not good this time, so he certainly couldn't stand idly by.

If the stray cats in the south of the city really take over the place, it won't be so convenient for me to carry out my work in the future.

With that in mind, he sent a message to the sheriff.

"Sheriff, what's going on in the group chat? Is Tanuki going to start a war with the stray cats in the south of the city?"

"Whether you need my help or not, just let me know if there's anything I can do for you."

"It seems we have a good understanding; I was just about to talk to you about this."

The message had barely been sent when a dark figure darted up from the window—it was the sheriff.

As soon as it came up, it squatted on the table without making any movement.

Lu Fang understood immediately and went to open the salmon can that had been prepared in advance.

The sheriff nodded in satisfaction and, while eating, explained the whole story to Lu Fang.

"That sounds a bit dangerous. How about I take matters into my own hands? Dealing with a few stray cats is a piece of cake," he said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"Forget it, this situation is special. I'm already making an exception by telling you about it. If you help, Brother Li will lose the prestige he's worked so hard to build in Tiancheng Community."

"After so much peace and quiet, we really need a tough battle to prove our worth." The sheriff slowly licked the salmon from the can.

"I can't just stand by and watch," Lu Fang said, getting restless.

"I called you here to talk about this." The sheriff's eyes narrowed slightly.

Those familiar with it know that this state indicates it's about to come up with some great idea.

"You're human, which makes things easier for you. I need you to report to the police that a stray cat is injuring people in Yanling Park."
