Lin Fan sighed in his heart. He really didn’t want it to be this way. He felt that showing off was not his style. However, in such a situation, he had no choice but to show off a little.
This was the Elder Dog who was going to become one of Touching China’s Top Ten People. If they were to capture him, how would he receive his award?
It would have huge impact, hence, they had to consider it carefully.
Fraud Tian said, “Let me tell you that Little Boss is not boasting. It’s true. The delivery man just came personally to deliver it.” Then, he raised the invitation letter into the air. “Look at the stamp. It’s real.”
Zhao Zhong Yang said, “For Elder Dog to be chosen, it is well-deserved. Previously, there was an advertisement saying that dogs are good friends of humans. For a dog like this that loves and protects humans, he is a good friend among good friends.”
“Thinking back when Elder Dog lead a hundred dogs to battle the human traffickers, that was really awe-inspiring.”
“Later on, he even charged bravely into a fire. His whole body had been burned and covered in black soot but he brought the dying infant out. Even humans wouldn’t have such bravery.”
“And another time, Elder Dog dived into the water and dragged three drowning people out. Who could compare to such a heroic dog?”
“Don’t even get me started on that time he helped an old granny cross the road and rescued the granny who had fainted in the middle of the road.”
In one breath, Zhao Zhong Yang praised Elder Dog endlessly.
Meanwhile, Elder Dog, who had been furious before, raised his head proudly as he heard all his accomplishments. His eyes glimmered with a strong and steady light as if he had been touched by his own deeds.
The shop owners nodded as well. “Yeah. When you think about that, it makes sense. Elder Dog is really that capable.”
Lin Fan looked at the crowd, then at the workers. “Heard that? I’m not stopping you from enforcing the law but this really will not do. This dog has to go and attend the prize presentation. And these dogs are all his comrades as well as his family. If you take them away like that, will your leader agree? Why don’t you give your leader a call. As long as he agrees, I won’t say more and you can even take this dog away. The worst case is that I’ll go to the prize presentation ceremony alone and say that the hero has been captured by you guys and buried alive. Is that alright?”
When the workers heard that, they groaned in their hearts. Why does this sound like a f*cking story? But this story really seems true. Then, they hesitated for a moment.
“Let us make a call then.”
Lin Fan nodded. “Alright, go ahead.”
One of the workers took out his phone and called their leader. When he explained the situation, the leader started scolding them furiously, calling them brainless for believing such things. But when he heard that it was Master Lin who had said those things, the leader immediately took it more seriously.
“Master Lin, our leader would like to speak to you.” The worker had been berated by their leader. Then, he helplessly passed the phone to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan received the phone. “Hello, leader. I’m Master Lin from Cloud Street. This is the situation. My dog is very honorable. He has been chosen as one of the Touching China’s Top Ten People and he was the only dog chosen. You guys are capturing stray dogs and I don’t think you’re doing a bad thing but you’re trying to capture my heroic dog. I feel that I have to say something about it, otherwise, if something happens later on, wouldn’t I be to blame for not giving you a heads up?”
The leader on the other end of the call seemed to have been stunned by Lin Fan’s words. Then, the sound of a keyboard being pressed could be heard. He was probably searching it up on the Internet.
Most major awards had their results reported on the Internet.
When he saw the the list of the Top Ten People on the website and saw that one of them was not a human, he was shocked. He felt that he had lived his life for so many years for nothing.
*Cough cough!*
He coughed a few times.
“Master Lin, it’s a misunderstanding. I made a mistake in my arrangements. These are all heroes, isn’t that right? If I had known, I wouldn’t have arranged for this to happen.”
“Master Lin, please don’t talk about this joke of an incident when you go to the award ceremony. I won’t be able to take it.”
The leader wasn’t afraid of anything else but he was just afraid of Master Lin going to the award ceremony and recounting this incident as a joke.
Master Lin wouldn’t be bothered if he said it but the leader would be in trouble. In the best case scenario, he would get scolded by the public. The worst case was that he would be criticized by his organization for not doing his job well.
When Lin Fan heard that, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, alright. I definitely won’t talk about it. But leader, I have to give you a heads up. The person who reported this is that Zhou Shi Ming, right? Let me tell you that it is best not to interact with him. He is a lot of trouble.”
When the leader heard that, he felt that something wasn’t right.
He knew about Master Lin’s capability. Thinking about that Liu Xiao Tian from the local police station, things had been smooth sailing for him ever since he had gotten to know Master Lin. The leader really envied him.
But thinking about today’s incident, he felt that something really wasn’t right.
He had only just interacted with that guy the previous day and he was already facing this problem today. What Master Lin said was really accurate.
“Thank you, Master Lin, for the heads up. I will remember it. I’ll get those people to hurry back right now,” said the leader anxiously.
He really didn’t want to allow this situation to drag on. If he had known that this would happen, even though that person was a wealthy tycoon, he wouldn’t be bothered. This matter would only cause trouble for himself.
As for that dog being chosen as one of Touching China’s Top Ten People, he felt that it defied all logic.
Then, he didn’t think more and just called the workers back hurriedly.
The worker who received the phone had a look of embarrassment on his face.
Lin Fan saw that things were pretty much settled. “Doggy, go and release your little brothers then.”
To the workers, this dog seemed to understand human speech. After Master Lin said that, Elder Dog immediately ran to the car boot. He raised his paws and unlocked the cages from above before opening the cage doors and letting the dogs out.
Then, the dogs that had been released wandered around in a circle before skillfully opening the other cages as well.
It was like seeing a ghost. They had captured so many stray dogs but this was their first time seeing such a thing. If they hadn’t seen it for themselves, they wouldn’t have believed it.
Lin Fan looked at the workers and said, “You guys have to grow bigger hearts in the future. Capturing mad dogs is fine but you have to be kinder to some pitiful stray dogs. They’re all living things too.”
Right now, no matter what Master Lin said, they would accept it. They nodded their heads frantically, absorbing his words into their minds.
Lin Fan nodded. “Alright then. Go on then. Remember, our Cloud Street’s dogs are all good dogs, got it?”
The workers nodded once again in response. This had been really eye-opening for them. They would have to go back and tell people about it.
A dog chosen as one of Touching China’s Top Ten People. Would you believe that?
Even a ghost wouldn’t believe that!
