Chapter 647: Chapter 647: Pretending
That night, the aftermath of Candy’s afternoon play session hit.
In the middle of the night, Mo Jingchun was deep in a sweet dream when suddenly, the scene changed drastically. The beautiful dreamscape turned into a nightmare where a dozen mad dogs were chasing him, barking ferociously.
Mo Jingchun ran as fast as he could, wishing for an extra pair of legs to run even faster.
At this moment, the dormant system was shocked by the dramatic fluctuations in the host’s brainwaves, almost thinking the host might kick the bucket.
The distance closed, Mo Jingchun’s heart pounded faster, and just as he was about to get bitten, he suddenly opened his eyes and wiped his forehead, finding his hand covered in sweat.
"Why on earth am I having nightmares?" Mo Jingchun muttered to himself, his mouth dry.
Just then, Mo Jingchun’s hand froze.
"Woof woof woof woof~"
"Awoo~"
"Woof woof woof woof~"
No doubt about it, that was the silly dog Little Grey’s voice.
"Zero, turn on the lights."
Wearing slippers, Mo Jingchun slipped on a coat and walked out of the bedroom with a dark face. He had to see what Little Grey was barking at in the middle of the night.
As Mo Jingchun walked down the stairs, he saw the light on on the third floor. When he got closer, oh boy, two figures, one tall and one short, with dark circles under their eyes, silently stared at Little Grey, who was sleeping soundly in his doghouse.
The next moment, Little Grey barked a few times out of the blue.
Candy counted on her fingers, muttering to herself, "5".
Seeing Mo Jingchun arrive, the two felt even gloomier.
Mo Jingchun realized that it was all because of the trouble from the afternoon.
Silently, Mo Jingchun walked forward and shook Little Grey’s head, but to his surprise, Little Grey didn’t wake up. This wasn’t right, who has a dog with such low alertness?
"Brother, stop shaking him, my sister and I have both tried."
With a face full of worry, Candy said, "What are we going to do? His brain won’t be damaged, right? I knew we shouldn’t have let Little Grey study."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun frowned deeply. A silly dog’s brain would be damaged? Who are you kidding?
"Zero, what’s going on?"
Mo Jingchun spoke, and the omnipresent Zero suddenly replied, "From a scientific perspective, this silly dog is playing dead."
Exposed, Little Grey bolted away right under their noses.
Before the three could react, a yellow shadow chased after him even faster.
In less than three seconds, noises of Little Grey’s wailing came from downstairs.
"Awoooo~"
When the three furious people went downstairs, they saw Little Grey cornered by Bun, using its paws to protect its head, and Bun was performing the long-lost Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
The swiftness of its moves formed afterimages.
The truth was out, it was clearly unbridled revenge. Damn it, a dog barking all night is really frightening.
A few minutes later, yawning, Mo Jingchun went back to his room to continue sleeping. Mo Jingchun vowed that if Little Grey dared to pull the same trick again in the second half of the night, he would show Little Grey what it meant to be the master of the house.
At Candy’s bedroom door, Little Grey wagged his tail to show goodwill, trying to sneak in to sleep.
"Hmph~" Frustrated, Candy just threw Little Grey’s dog bed out of the room.
"Don’t disturb Bun and me sleeping!"
With a bang, the door was mercilessly closed.
The pitiful Little Grey lingered at the door for over ten minutes before whimpering and biting his bed, heading downstairs.
Under White’s scarlet gaze, Little Grey lay belly-up in the storeroom.
The next day, Candy didn’t torment either the cat or the dog, thinking Little Grey’s schooling journey was over. But before Little Grey had time to celebrate for two days, on Monday morning, Candy mercilessly dragged him to the first floor of the Armed Police Hall in the Number One Laboratory Building.
Candy cheerfully patted Big Black’s slick head, "Good morning, Big Black."
Dagger tilted his head and glanced at the hunched Little Grey, then looked at Candy.
At this moment, Candy’s eyes lit up, and she quickly ran towards an armed policeman coming in from outside, Dagger’s trainer, who was also responsible for Dagger’s care.
This person and Dagger were undoubtedly good brothers.
"Good morning, big brother."
Dagger, feeling neglected, tilted his head, thinking the words sounded very familiar.
He Qiming looked down in some confusion at the delighted Candy. Despite getting along well with Dagger, she actually didn’t have much interaction with him as the trainer, with very little communication between the two of them.
"Good morning."
"Little Grey, come here!" Candy gave a sharp glance at Little Grey and beckoned him over.
The next moment, Candy cheerfully handed the leash in her hand to He Qiming.
"Big brother, Little Grey is here to learn. Just like Dagger, teach him some skills."
He Qiming was momentarily stunned, his eyes moving back and forth between Dagger and Little Grey.
The village dog is actually very smart, but why can’t it get an iron rice bowl? It’s because the village dogs never work alone, they always call friends over.
1V1? Not happening.
He Qiming hesitated a bit, unsure if this was the intention of Mo Jingchun, the founder of Candy Technology.
"Candy, wait a moment, I’ll go ask the captain."
Saying this, He Qiming handed the leash back to Candy and walked briskly towards the lounge.
Candy stood there humming a little tune, didn’t have to wait long before He Qiming came back.
"The captain said it’s okay, but I can’t guarantee how well Little Grey can be trained."
Chinese rural dogs are indeed smart, but they’re also notoriously independent-minded.
"Great!" Candy chuckled and handed Little Grey over to the big brother with relief.
"Big brother, Little Grey is still very clever, don’t believe me? I’ll have Little Grey perform for you."
Saying so, Candy turned around and held up five fingers, "How many is this?"
"Woof woof woof woof woof~"
"Big brother, see, isn’t he smart?"
He Qiming was slightly surprised, but that was all.
Counting numbers is simple; many breeds are quite smart, like Border Collies.
But being smart doesn’t necessarily mean suitable for being a police dog.
"Little Grey, study hard, I’m leaving now~"
Candy turned and bounced away, not taking a single cloud with her. Little Grey also prepared to run, but just two steps out, he was pulled back by the leash.
"Woof woof woof~"
Faced with strangers, Little Grey was not gentle, showing a fierce side Candy had never seen.
Seeing Little Grey’s reaction, He Qiming and Dagger suddenly got excited. This was exactly what they wanted.
Elsewhere, a strolling Candy scratched her head in her brother’s office, looking puzzled at Xia.
"Xia, where’s my brother?"
"He should be in the lab."
Candy, having never been to the Number Two Laboratory Building, thought Xia Xiaomin was referring to the Number One Laboratory Building and frowned.
She had just come from there, how could she not know her brother wasn’t in the lab?
