“Motherfucker…”
Accompanied by the man’s curse, Lin Chuxia struck quickly.
On the other side, Chen Ping was briefly stunned, then joined the fight.
Lin Chuxia grappled with the man while keeping an eye on her surroundings, in case someone else pulled out a gun.
Fortunately, they had only that one gun. Someone did pull out a dagger, but the sharp-eyed Yuan Bao bit his arm first.
“Bitch, I really must have been blind today!”
The man called Brother Hu charged at Lin Chuxia, his fists as large as sandbags aiming straight for her head.
“Be careful!”
Chen Ping was not far from her, entangled with another man. Seeing that scene made her heart nearly stop.
She had fought with a few men and knew that Yu Dahu, the leader, was the strongest. She had been injured by him just moments before.
Although Lin Chuxia knew how to fight, she wasn’t professionally trained like them daily.
For such a fragile girl, the consequences of taking that punch were unimaginable.
Chen Ping knew that Lin Chuxia was involved in this mess because of her, even delayed until now.
If possible, she would rather take the punch for Lin Chuxia, but there wasn’t enough distance between them.
Things happened quickly; just as she was startled, she saw Lin Chuxia suddenly lean back, dodging Yu Dahu’s punch and simultaneously raising the butt of the gun, striking hard at Yu Dahu’s neck.
As everyone knows, this is the most vulnerable part of the body. Yu Dahu didn’t utter a sound and fell limply to the ground.
Seeing the crisis resolved, Chen Ping swiftly subdued the man in front of her, pulled out handcuffs from her lower back, and cuffed him.
Of the other three men, aside from Yu Dahu who had already fainted, one was on the ground twisting and wailing in pain, completely losing his ability to fight.
Another was closely monitored by Yuan Bao, who was ready to pounce and bite at the slightest movement, his clothes already torn by Yuan Bao.
Sensing the fight was over, Yuan Bao turned to Lin Chuxia and barked twice, wagging his tail in a pleasing manner.
Lin Chuxia smiled slightly and generously praised, “Good job, Yuan Bao.”
Pleased with the praise, Yuan Bao jumped on the spot, seemingly wanting to perform again in front of his master, and bit the man on the thigh.
The man let out a “ow,” screamed painfully, and Yuan Bao turned back to Lin Chuxia, barking twice as if waiting for more praise.
Lin Chuxia looked skyward with a speechless expression, noting that dogs often reflect their owners, though she wasn’t one for showing off.
“Good job, Yuan Bao!”
A voice came from beside her, and she saw Chen Ping limping over and giving Yuan Bao a thumbs up.
Then she turned to Lin Chuxia with a complex expression, “Thank you, Mr. Lin, if it weren’t for you today, I might have lost my life here.”
The moment she saw Lin Chuxia, she didn’t intend to involve her, even urging her to run away quickly.
These men were violently ruthless, protecting the safety of people’s lives and property is her duty.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be Lin Chuxia and her dog who saved her.
She remembered her husband mentioning that Lin Chuxia knew some defense techniques, but didn’t expect her to be so formidable.
Lin Chuxia smiled slightly, “No worries, how is your injury? What will happen to these people?”
Before Chen Ping could answer, hurried footsteps echoed through the alley.
Sun Hao was the first to rush out, his gaze swept over the people on the ground and headed straight for Chen Ping, his face showing worry mixed with fear.
“Chen Ping, how are you, are you hurt?”
While questioning her, he had already sized her up twice, his gaze landing accurately on her protected abdomen.
It was dark at night and hard to tell if there was blood on her body, he could only guess, “Is it a knife wound?”
Chen Ping shook his head, a touch of tenderness flashed through his eyes, “I’m alright, just got punched a couple of times and it hurts, thanks to Mr. Lin.”
Only then did Sun Hao have the time to thank Lin Chuxia gratefully.
The police officers who came with Sun Hao professionally detained the suspects on the ground.
Suddenly, at this moment, the man Yuan Bao was watching darted out in an escape.
The faces of several police officers changed instantly, “Catch him, don’t let him get away…”
Just as they were about to rush forward, a figure dashed out even faster.
Yuan Bao leapt and pinned the man to the ground with agile and swift movements, and fiercely bit into the man’s arm.
Not until the man let out a scream did he let go, wagging his tail and looking back at the police officers, panting with his tongue out.
Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but facepalm, it was unbearable to watch.
Don’t think she didn’t notice, when the police officers arrived, Yuan Bao deliberately relaxed his vigilance, even stepping back to give the man a chance to run.
After the man ran, Yuan Bao pounced on the suspect before the police officers.
Now, he even seemed to want her praise, Lin Chuxia nearly cringed.
If possible, she did not want to admit that this was her dog.
A chuckle came from beside her, Chen Ping loudly praised, “Yuan Bao, well done!”
He then turned to Sun Hao and the other police officers, “This dog is called Yuan Bao, and tonight it also made great contributions.”
She recounted how Yuan Bao helped them subdue the suspect.
“Without Yuan Bao and Mr. Lin’s perfect cooperation in seizing their firearms, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
It seemed Yuan Bao understood her words, grunting twice, he took the gun from Lin Chuxia’s hand and handed it to Sun Hao.
Lin Chuxia, “…”
She was tired, if he wanted to perform, let him.
Sure enough, Yuan Bao received quite a few compliments.
These suspects needed to be taken back for interrogation, and Chen Ping’s injuries needed to be treated too. After a few words with Lin Chuxia, Sun Hao, not willing to say more, left with his team.
Yuan Bao watched the departing crowd, seemingly a bit sad.
Lin Chuxia slapped its head somewhat annoyed, “Come on, what more do you want? Do you want someone to give you a medal?”
Yuan Bao hummed twice and then followed Lin Chuxia wagging his tail.
When Lin Chuxia got home, Mrs. Qin had not yet gone to bed and came out upon hearing movements.
“Why did you come back so late today? Your eldest brother and them just got back. I was about to ask your brother to check on you.”
Qin Han and Gui Lan also came out of the house, they had to wait until the Bun Shop closed to come home.
“Mom, it’s nothing, I was just a bit busy tallying up today, and Yuan Bao was with me, so there was no need for big brother to make another trip.”
It was also very hard for Qin Han and Gui Lan who returned late every day.
Mrs. Qin glanced at Yuan Bao and smiled slightly, “Yuan Bao is very sensible.”
Yuan Bao now went to work with Lin Chuxia every day, and followed her home from work. Sometimes when Lin Chuxia didn’t go to the courtyard, he would stay home and play with Zhuangzhuang, getting along well with the Qin family.
Hearing the praise, Yuan Bao wagged his tail and nuzzled Mrs. Qin.
Qin Han then asked about the matters at the court.
