Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were thinking,
This thing can really act!
It just ate a mecha and is now acting so weak! Who are you trying to fool?!
Can you be more self-conscious of being an apex predator!
We didnât even cry when we were totally horrified. You are a dog who just ate a mecha. What are you doing crying over here? What is there to cry about?! So fake!!
They really couldnât understand how this dog could suddenly be crying like this.
Maybe it was a form of disguise?
The two of them observed Fang Zhaoâs reaction and tried guessing how likely it was that Fang Zhao knew the truth.
Fang Zhao rubbed Curly Hairâs head and glanced at Nanfeng. âYou go out first.â
âOh, okay. Then, I will go see if the soup is ready, Boss.â
Nanfeng guessed that the boss wanted to speak with Yan Biao and Zuo Yu. Perhaps he was about to reprimand them. Was he going to deduct their salaries?
Nanfeng shot the other two a âyou guys better reflectâ look and hastily exited the ward. He closed the door gently and considerately hung the âdo not disturbâ sign.
The ward fell quiet. Only the sounds of Curly Hairâs sobs and pants remained.
Yan Biao and Zuo Yu stood anxiously waiting for Fang Zhao to speak. They were still waiting for Planet Yinâs side to deal with them with regards to the matter of the mechaâs disappearance. However, they still had to inform Fang Zhao first. But, they didnât know how to put it in words. The ward wasnât a good place to talk either.
Fang Zhao didnât immediately ask about what had happened. Instead, he glanced at the two bodyguards before turning his gaze to the miserable Curly Hair. He reached out and pulled Curly Hairâs mouth open to examine his teeth.
Yan Biao and Zuo Yu closely watched Fang Zhaoâs actions.
There were still some metal fragments stuck to Curly Hairâs teeth.
âWhat did you eat now?â Fang Zhao patted Curly Hairâs head. âLick the remains clean.â
Yan Biao and Zuo Yu: â???â
How can the boss say such a thing so calmly?!
Boss, open your eyes wide! Those remains are metal! Metal!!
Curly Hair paused his crying, stuck out his tongue and licked his teeth. He opened his mouth and showed it to Fang Zhao. It was clean this time.
âMmhm.â Fang Zhao nodded.
Curly Hair tilted his head, lay down and continued crying.
Yan Biao and Zuo Yu: ââŠâ
The evidence had been erased!
Nobody would even know or think about such a thing!!
How many times had they practiced such a tacit understanding?!
They didnât believe that this dog had always been obediently eating dog food!
Everything was a disguise!
Surely, that dog had preyed upon many other things!
They couldnât go on lying to themselves that their boss was oblivious to it!
The two of them were originally thinking about how to mention the matter of the mecha to Fang Zhao, but now, they stared at the ground when Fang Zhaoâs gaze fell on them.
They were panicking inside.
Bodyguards that knew too much either became trusted aides or forever kept their silence. A choice always had to be made.
Now, Yan Biao and Zuo Yu felt confronted with the most crucial occupational crisis in their life: Continue walking the dog, or be eaten.
At this moment, Fang Zhaoâs communications device rang.
It was one of the high ranking Planet Yin officers who had visited Fang Zhao in the ward earlier.
âYou can go ahead and arrange for your discharge. However, you have to ensure your communications device is with you at all times. We must still have a chat before you leave Planet Yin. Also, do not tell anybody else about what happened. You can handle your assistant and bodyguards.â
Fang Zhao wasnât too surprised and gave his acknowledgement before ending the call.
This matter had happened way too abruptly. Some things couldnât be hidden, like Curly Hairâs abnormalities.
Actually, Fang Zhao knew that certain people were already privy to his and Curly Hairâs changes. Things had only remained as long as it had because most werenât aware of them.
The Inter-planetary FundâŠ
Nanfeng returned carrying a flask of nourishing soup. However, he was standing outside and didnât enter because he was afraid of interrupting the conversation in the room.
Fang Zhao heard his footsteps and called out, âNanfeng!â
âHere! Boss, what are your instructions?â Nanfeng opened the door and entered.
âGo arrange the discharge procedures.â
âIâm fine already.â
âEh! I will go right away!â
Nanfeng nimbly poured Fang Zhao the bowl of soup and headed out to handle the discharge procedures.
Fang Zhao then turned to the other two who had been silent all these time. âGo get a car.â
âYes!â The two tense bodyguards marched out with heavy footsteps.
The inspection team captain was about to knock on the door when it opened. Seeing Yan Biao and Zuo Yu, he raised an eyebrow and eyed them with a âI already see through you twoâ kind of look.
The inspection team captain chuckled. âGo on. Do you not want to leave? How about coming over to our place for some tea and buns?â
âNo, no thanks. Please come in.â
The two moved aside and looked towards Fang Zhao.
Fang Zhao indicated for them to continue with their task so the two bodyguards left.
The door was closed and the inspection team captain joked, âYour two bodyguards are quite loyal.â
He then noticed Curly Hair lying by Fang Zhaoâs side. âStill crying? Fang Zhao, I donât care about other stuff, but I have to talk about Curly Hair.â
Over the next half hour, the inspection team captain criticized Fang Zhao for actually turning an outstanding dog with the potential to be the king of all spaceport dogs into a delicate and pampered pet dog!
It could have been the best spaceport dog ever. But, perhaps it would permanently suffer from its trauma.
Simply a great waste of talent!
The inspection team captain sighed continuously as he criticized Fang Zhao for not being able to teach his dog. He palmed his chest. âMy heart feels immense regret, just like a merchant missing out on a big opportunity. Do you understand?â
Fang Zhao was about to speak, but the inspection team captain put out his palm. âSay no more. You donât understand!â
After that, he stiffened up and earnestly instructed Fang Zhao on how to train dogs. In the end, he even said in full seriousness, âIts natural talent mustnât be wasted! You have to train it more! Donât let it stay at home all the time! I know that celebrities like you are very busy, but you have to remember: dogs mustnât stay home all the time!!â
ââŠI got it,â Fang Zhao said.
The inspection team captain seemed pleased seeing Fang Zhaoâs fine attitude. âGood.â
He felt that everything he said had been absorbed by Fang Zhao. He had accomplished his objective. He sensed a gaze on him and turned towards that direction.
Curly Hairâs tear stained eyes were staring straight at him.
The inspection team captain reached his hand out and patted Curly Hairâs head.
Curly Hair licked the hand.
The inspection team captain chuckled delightedly. He reckoned that Curly Hair was expressing his attachment!
Fang Zhao shot a warning look at Curly Hair.
Curly Hair returned to lying down and whimpered.
Now that Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were some distance away, they regained their senses.
âIs the inspection team not going to pursue the matter at the warehouse? Arenât they letting the matter go too easily?â
A whole assault mecha had suddenly vanished from the face of the planet, and they werenât going to pursue the matter?
âJudging from Bossâs reactions, he is probably aware of it.â
Yan Biao and Zuo Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
With Boss handling the matter, at least they wouldnât have to rack their brains to fabricate a story.
However, when they thought about Curly HairâŠ
âWas our reaction too excessive?â Yan Biao asked.
âYou even served on Planet Baiji. Your threshold is a little low!â Zuo Yu said.
âIt isnât the same! That is totally something that cannot be explained with conventional sense.â
Such a large mecha had been completely devoured without any remains. Even the fragments between the Curly Hairâs teeth were completely cleaned up!
This was totally an existence at the top of the food chain! An extremely dangerous creature!
âWhat do you think of it now?â Zuo Yu asked.
âNow, it doesnât matter what we think, but what Boss thinks.â
After experiencing Curly Hairâs transformation, they felt that probably nothing else could ever faze them ever again.
If a dog could eat a mecha, what else couldnât they accept?
After the discharge procedures were done, Fang Zhao returned to his quarters. He let Nanfeng go rest first and asked Yan Biao and Zuo Yu to stay.
Nanfeng left with no questions asked, leaving behind the two bodyguards who were extremely apprehensive.
Curly Hair circled the room and gave Fang Zhao a âwoofâ.
No surveillance and listening devices here.
Fang Zhao shut the door. Curly Hair walked over to Fang Zhaoâs side and crouched down. He yawned with his mouth wide opened, exposing his clean little canines.
Yan Biao and Zuo Yu thought of a scene and turned deathly pale. Beads of cold perspiration formed on their foreheads.
The door was shut and the dog was released.
Were they⊠going to be silenced?
Would they be erased from the world without a single hair left behind?
As bodyguards, they knew how callous Fang Zhao could be. Yan Biao still clearly remembered Fang Zhaoâs display back on Planet Baiji those years ago.
Fang Zhao didnât say anything and mulled over how to handle these two next.
In Curly Hairâs eyes, other people and other dogs were just other types of food to him.
This was also the reason why Fang Zhao had been really strict with him. The moment Curly Hair forgot this distinction, everyone would just be his food.
Although Nanfeng, Zuo Yu and Yan Biao were classified as âour peopleâ, they couldnât compare to Curly Hairâs first ever personal terminal.
Curly Hairâs restraint in not causing more damage and harming innocent people was the result of Fang Zhaoâs strict discipline.
Fang Zhao had also come to a decision after observing Yan Biao and Zuo Yuâs character all this time. Otherwise, he wouldnât have let the two of them watch Curly Hair.
âTell me, what did you two see?â Fang Zhao asked.
The two of them shook their heads resolutely. âNo! We didnât see anything at all!â
How were they to answer such a question after witnessing such a huge secret?
Was this the right answer?
Fang Zhao frowned at his two tense bodyguards.
âCurly Hair, you scared them.â
Curly Hair had been pondering whether he could negotiate a new personal terminal by passing some more academic tests. He abruptly raised his head, looking totally aggrieved and defended himself loudly, âI didnât!â
