Chapter 997: A dog relies on its own power

At the street entrance, several law enforcement cars had stopped. The dog barks had come from here. In the cars were cages and in each cage was a dog.

At that moment, a person in protective clothing was holding a specialized equipment in his hand, which gripped onto the head of a dog while another man opened a cage for him to put the dog in.

Although countless shop owners were around telling them to stop, they did not stop.

Elder Dog was glaring angrily at this scene and barking fiercely. Sister Hong was a the side, consoling him, telling him not to be rash. Then, she glared at them as well.

“Stop right there. What are you doing? These are Cloud Street’s dogs. What rights do you have to capture them?” Sister Hong yelled furiously.

One of the workers replied in a very calm tone as if he wasn’t affected at all. As he replied, he used his equipment to grab hold of the dog simultaneously. However, that dog dodged quickly enough to escape.

“These are orders given from above. There are too many stray dogs and they’ve caused a huge impact. They’ve even hurt people. So, we need to clean them up. Hurry up and move aside now. These dogs aren’t your pets, so there’s no need to care about them.”

Sister Hong stood in front of him to block him. “No, they’re from Cloud Street, so they’re our pets. Hurry up and open the cages to let the dogs out.”

Those workers ignored Sister Hong along with the spectating shop owners as they continued their work. They held sticks in their hands and started hitting them against the cages.

Elder Dog bared his fangs as he growled in a deep tone.

Those dogs in the cage were shouting, “Boss, save us!”

“Boss, please save our lives!”

When Elder Dog heard his little brothers asking for help, he couldn’t ignore them as their boss. If his wife’s owner hadn’t stopped him, he would have charged forward to go to battle with these guys long ago.

“Hey, this dog is quite fierce. Come, I need more people here to help me capture him.” A fat worker ignored that ferocious gaze and continued working calmly.

He was already used to such situations. What could these people possibly do? Beat them up?

This was Shanghai. People would go to jail for hitting other people. Even causing a minor injury would put one in jail for several months. Hence, they weren’t afraid at all.

If you have the balls, come and hit us. If not, then move aside. This is what they were thinking.

Then, a dog-catching pole came swinging towards Elder Dog. But suddenly, someone grabbed it.

Lin Fan had arrived at the scene. Taking a close look, it seemed rather serious. Elder Dog’s little brothers had all been captured. They were trying to catch them all in one go.

“What are you all doing? Why are you catching our Cloud Street’s dogs?” Lin Fan said.

The shop owners heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Little Boss had come. It was as if they saw Little Boss as their pillar of support.

“Little Boss, I don’t know who made a report. We’ve been targeted by higher-ups. They want to capture all the stray dogs of Cloud Street,” Elder Liang exclaimed angrily. He really wanted to beat up the person who had made the report.

Hearing that, Lin Fan didn’t have to think anymore. He immediately knew who had made that report.

Who else could it be besides Zhou Shi Ming?

Thinking about Zhou Shi Ming’s capabilities, this could really be done by him. Lin Fan knew many people in Shanghai and most leaders also knew the situation here in Cloud Street.

However, Zhou Shi Ming was quite smart. He hadn’t caused trouble for Lin Fan directly but he targeted Lin Fan’s dog instead. Even those people who were concerned about Lin Fan didn’t really pay attention to the dogs of Cloud Street.

After all, dogs were very normal. They were just stray dogs and they could be captured easily. What problem could there be?

“Guys, please let the dogs go. These are Cloud Street’s dogs.” Lin Fan used a very polite tone. They were only doing their jobs and he didn’t want to make things hard for them.

“We can’t, Master Lin. We’ve received orders to clean up the stray dogs in Cloud Street. This is for your own good. These stray dogs urinate and poop wherever they want. It isn’t hygenic, is it?” The worker’s tone became warmer. It seemed that he knew Master Lin.

Lin Fan smiled. “You don’t need to worry about that. To take care of our hygiene, we pay additional money to the cleaners for them to help us clear the dogs’ waste. Moreover, these dogs don’t urinate and poop wherever they want either. They all abide by the rules.”

“Rules?” When the worker heard that, he instantly started laughing. “Master Lin, don’t make things hard for us. This is an order from above. And you’re saying that these dogs have rules. How is that possible?”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “I’m really not lying to you. Our Cloud Street’s dogs have rules and they’re even more well-behaved than people. They don’t ever urinate or poop anywhere they want. They all have designated areas. And they’re not stray dogs. They’re pets raised by the people of Cloud Street.”

The worker said, “Master Lin, I know that your Cloud Street is very united. These dogs live here and are fed by you guys as well. But when tourists come, it’ll leave bad impression.”

Lin Fan felt that he was unable to get through to these workers.

“Then just tell me one thing. Are you going to release them?” Lin Fan asked.

The worker replied, “Master Lin, we won’t catch any more. As for those we’ve caught, it’s fine if we just bring these to report back, right?”

“No. You have to release all of them,” said Lin Fan.

The workers couldn’t accept Master Lin’s request. At the same time, they felt that this Master Lin was rather nosy. He hadn’t been bitten by a dog before and he didn’t know the danger of dogs. Moreover, having someone who wasn’t their superior commanding them like this, they felt deep in their hearts that they couldn’t accept it.

It felt as if they could only express their individuality through rejecting him. Hence, they directly rejected him.

“Master Lin, we cannot release them. If you have any problems, you can report them to our leader,” said one of the workers.

Lin Fan was lost for words. Do they have to do this? Looks like I have no choice now.

“You’re drawing the anger of the masses, do you know that? Do you know who these dogs are?” asked Lin Fan.

The workers instantly burst out laughing. Who these dogs are ? This is the first time I’ve heard something like that. Aren’t they just mutts? What’s so special about them?

At that moment, Lin Fan didn’t say anymore nonsense. “I’d warn you to release them. Don’t make a big deal out of this. These dogs that you’ve captured are all heroes, do you know that? Do you know about the raid on the human traffickers last year? That was the work of these dogs. And as for this dog, do you know his identity?”

“Let me tell you. He’s the only dog chosen as one of Touching China’s Top Ten People. This is an invitation letter that was just delivered. Do you recognize it?”

The workers were dumbfounded. Each line that Master Lin said had made them stunned.

And the shop owners were dumbfounded as well. They felt that what Little Boss had said was a little unreal.

The only dog chosen as one of the Touching China’s Top Ten People. How had that happened?

Even if Little Boss was bragging, he couldn’t brag like that.

But when they saw the invitation letter in Master Lin’s hand, everyone was stupefied.

And it wasn’t even over yet. The next words left them even more astonished. There’s a saying that a dog relies on its master’s power. But they felt that sometimes, dogs rely on their own power.
