Then, they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairwell. It was clear that the three of them were running wildly!

Fangzheng began counting again. “Three… Two…”

“One!” The store owner counted as well.

With each word, the three of them ran out in a sorry state, rolling and crawling forward.

Following that, a large silver dog rushed out. Most importantly, the dog was hanging a long stick.

When everyone took a closer look, they realized that this wasn’t a stick. It was the dog muzzle stick that the trio had brought!

After rus.h.i.+ng out of the narrow stairwell and onto the road, the big dog instantly ran away happily. It caught up with Chen Haocheng in a few steps. Then, with a flick of its head, the dog muzzle stick wrapped around Chen Haocheng.

Then, the dog turned around and ran back. Chen Haocheng wasn’t Lone Wolf’s match at all. He felt a tremendous force pull him away.

Fortunately, the muzzle was lodged on his body and not his neck. Otherwise, he would have died…

Even so, Chen Haocheng yelled as he was dragged to the ground. “Help! Murder!”

The onlookers were also given a fright. Although everyone didn’t like Chen Haocheng, they didn’t deserve death! Hence, they all looked at Fangzheng…

They saw the monk make a hand gesture. “Over there!”

Then, everyone watched as the dog brought Chen Haocheng up to the gra.s.s patch, then sprinted back and forth…

With the gra.s.s patch cus.h.i.+oning him, Chen Haocheng wouldn’t die. He wouldn’t suffer any serious injuries, but it was definitely embarra.s.sing.

Everyone shook their heads as they saw Chen Haocheng’s gra.s.sy green body and his miserable appearance.

“Retribution!”

“Serves him right! Last time, their dog ran while pulling the rope of a kiddy car and threw the child out… They even said that the child was fine and that we shouldn’t scare their dog. Great, let him have a taste of this!”

“They usually think of humans beneath dogs. Let him experience the love of a dog today.”

“It’s father’s love.”

“Haha…”

At that moment, w.a.n.g Guixiang came down and saw her husband being dragged back and forth on the gra.s.s—his hair turning green. She immediately shouted at Fangzheng, “Darn monk, quickly get your dog to stop!”

Fangzheng looked back and shrugged. “Patron, first of all, this is not This Penniless Monk’s dog, so This Penniless Monk cannot fulfill your wish.”

Lone Wolf was a wolf and not a dog. What Fangzheng said was not considered a lie.

w.a.n.g Guixiang was instantly dumbfounded when she heard that. “Not your dog? Then why did you walk it?”

Fangzheng said in all seriousness, “He’s my family. I brought him out to play. Is there a problem?”

“Isn’t that still yours? Hurry up and tell him to stop. Someone is going to die!” w.a.n.g Guixiang shouted anxiously.

Fangzheng shook his head. “Be quiet. Don’t scare my family member.”

“There’s a life at stake. Yet, you are still concerned about your dog? Hurry up and stop him!” w.a.n.g Guixiang was furious.

“w.a.n.g Guixiang, your dog almost bit someone last time. Everyone chased your dog away. Didn’t you say not to scare your dog? Since your dog is more important than humans, of course, dogs are more important than your husband,” the store owner said with a smile.

w.a.n.g Guixiang’s face immediately flushed red from the diss… She thought about how she usually did not leash her dog, and how she had brought so much trouble to the people in the estate. That made her blush redder.

Especially when she saw her husband being dragged around by a dog and being watched by the whole community with no one willing to help her, the feeling of being abandoned by everyone made her heart empty…

In the past, her world consisted only of her family and dog. She didn’t care about outsiders at all.

From her point of view, she looked down on these people and had no intention of befriending them. She had always felt that her life was very good and she didn’t need anyone.

When comparing public order and her comfort, she chose to live comfortably.

As for her dog biting someone? She could just wait until it happened! Her dog wouldn’t bite her family anyway!

This was her previous theory…

But at this moment, she suddenly realized that she was wrong!

When nothing happened, these people that she looked down on might not be important.

But when something really happened, she suddenly realized that she was wrong. She was not living in her ideal utopia, she was still living in this society.

When she really met with difficulties, her so-called pride could not help her at all. Instead, it was these people that she looked down on and thought were unimportant to her who could help her. Without them, her husband might be dragged to death by the dog!

If her husband died, the pillar of her family would be gone, and this family would collapse.

With this in mind, w.a.n.g Guixiang immediately had the courage to step forward. She pointed at Fangzheng and roared angrily, “Monk, quickly make it stop! My husband will die! If he dies, our family will be finished! This is murder. You are destroying a good family!”

Fangzheng remained unmoved when he heard that. He smiled and said, “It’s fine. Everything can be done according to the rules. If anything happens, This Penniless Monk will compensate as much as it’s needed. Besides, isn’t he still alive? Instead, if you shout like that, it will scare my dog. My dog is very expensive.”

“You… Is a human life and a family less important than a dog?” w.a.n.g Guixiang roared angrily.

Fangzheng pressed his palms together and asked with a smile, “Patron, this is also a question This Penniless Monk wishes to ask you. Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done unto you. Have you considered this? If the matter happens to you, it’s something. But when it happens to someone else, it’s not a problem.

“Do you believe that if it’s another person who is treated this way, the people here would rush forward! No matter how large a dog it is, they will chase it away and save the person.

“But why can’t you?

“Today, the dog is dragging your husband around. If your house catches fire or an earthquake happens tomorrow, do you think everyone will help you?

“When you challenge the social norms, you are actually digging your own grave!”

After Fangzheng said that, he turned to look at Lone Wolf and said, “Patron, speak to This Penniless Monk after you have thought it through.”

w.a.n.g Guixiang fell silent…

Images of her walking the dog flashed past her mind, as well as the angry criticisms from the crowd, as well as the scenes of her scolding them back.

She thought about how her dog had chased after the children and elderly…

Thinking about the cars that pa.s.sed by from time to time, if the children or elderly got hit by a car in their panic…

She suddenly realized that what she did in the past was not something a person could do. Perhaps, she was worse than a dog!

At least a dog knew not to p.o.o.p in its own house, but outside.

However, she wreaked havoc to her own estate!

…

Looking at the cold eyes in front of her, she suddenly sighed.
