The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

Chapter 170 - A Police Dog That Suddenly Goes Berserk

“Lead the way, Lieutenant,” Xu Yangyi urged, noticing Nan Xiao's lack of movement. Yet, in that moment, he caught a glimpse of disdain directed at him from Nan Xiao's eyes.

Surprised by the reaction, Xu Yangyi snorted, “What's the point in directing your anger at me? If you truly desire Hee Jingyan, go to Baja yourself. I never said I wouldn't assist.”

It was perplexing to engage in argument without exerting effort to claim what one desires.

With that declaration, Xu Yangyi departed without sparing Nan Xiao another glance, implying that if Nan Xiao didn't lead, he'd find the way himself.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Xu Yangyi's words, Nan Xiao paused briefly before clenching his fists, “What do you imply by that? Are you mocking me?”

“You jest at my expense with such words, don't you? If obtaining the rank of colonel were merely about aspiration, I would've achieved it by now. Do you comprehend the absurdity of gaining favor without endeavor?”

Rather than quelling, Nan Xiao's rage intensified rapidly, his animosity towards Xu Yangyi palpable at a glance.

Perplexed by the accusation of mockery, Xu Yangyi halted, observing the fuming Nan Xiao, “I warned against overestimation, not in jest. Your failure to recognize goodwill is beyond laughable. If you doubt your capability, remain here and cease watching me. It's akin to generations of ancestral scorn, yielding you no benefit.”

“What the heck are you doing this early?”

Annoyed, Xu Yangyi furrowed his brow. Disinclined to engage further with Nan Xiao, he proceeded without delay.

Witnessing this, Nan Xiao chuckled sinisterly under his breath. His gaze shifted towards Xu Yangyi, a sense of coercion evident in his expression. “You've left me no choice.”

A contemptuous sneer contorted his features. Casting a surreptitious glance aside, he made a covert gesture, then trailed Xu Yangyi with malice.

Nearby, Wei Wey received his signal, hesitating momentarily before complying with Nan Xiao's command. He glanced around, swiftly incapacitating a police dog with a dart, discreetly discarding it into the sewer. Finally, he murmured something into the dog's ear while stroking its fur.

Startled by the sudden frenzy of barks behind him, Xu Yangyi whirled around. Yet, the police dog was already hurtling menacingly towards him, jaws agape.

Evading swiftly, Xu Yangyi found himself pursued relentlessly by the frenzied dog. Its crimson eyes gleamed with a menacing intent, poised to sink its teeth into him.

Undeterred, Xu Yangyi met the challenge head-on, deflecting the dog's advances with agile movements. A glint of amusement sparkled in his eyes, relishing the engagement.

Amidst the chaos, the soldiers were alerted. Before they could intervene, Nan Xiao's glare singled out Wei Wey.

Responding to the cue, Wu Junming exclaimed, “Sister-in-law, it's out of control! Clear the area!” With that, he tossed his gun to Xu Yangyi.

Catching it instinctively, Xu Yangyi had no time for astonishment. “Hahahaha!” His laughter erupted, unnerving the dog further, now perceiving the firearm as a formidable threat. With a sudden lunge, it aimed for Xu Yangyi's neck with lethal intent.

Wide-eyed, the soldiers rushed forward. A single gunshot shattered the tension, causing the dog to stagger before collapsing, blood oozing from its wounds.

The soldiers froze in disbelief, their expressions a mixture of terror and awe, as if Xu Yangyi had performed a feat beyond comprehension, yet undoubtedly ominous.
