Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1654 - 902: Carrying Out the Arrest

Mrs. Chen frequently strolls her Dogo during relaxed outings, where passersby usually shoot admiring looks her way, filling her with immense pride.

The Dogo's ferocious instincts are intensifying, as it once savagely attacked and killed another pet dog, a mess Mrs. Chen cleaned up with a bit of spare cash.

What other choice did the owner of that dog have?

Yet right now, her renowned battle-hardened Dogo gets shredded by a countryside stray, thrashing wildly while emitting desperate howls.

Mrs. Chen lost her mind, screeching hysterically: "Scram, scram!"

She went so far as to swing her foot to boot the stray.

Suddenly, Xiao Ben lifted his head and clamped down on Mrs. Chen’s calf so viciously that her trousers ripped open right away.

Startled out of her wits, Mrs. Chen toppled backward with a heavy "thump."

Jiang Ning uttered, "Xiao Ben."

Xiao Ben halted instantly, while the Dogo sprawled on the ground was riddled with wounds, its savage pride completely shattered.

Director Han eyed the Dogo's pathetic condition and experienced a guilty thrill of schadenfreude, even though he followed a vegetarian diet.

He rushed to lift Mrs. Chen and inspected for bites; luckily, none were found.

Still, the pampered Mrs. Chen was utterly terrified, her face pale with shock.

Her son Han Chen, witnessing Jiang Ning allow the dog to attack and his mother get hurt, bellowed furiously: "Have you no shame? Do you realize the mess you've made?"

Jiang Ning responded with just one word: "Go."

Xiao Ben sprang ahead, charging aggressively at Han Chen.

Han Chen sensed a crushing threat, his rage evaporating as he retreated hastily, terrified of getting chomped.

In a twist, Xiao Ben flipped in mid-jump, touched down, then dashed back to Jiang Ning, slobbering fawning licks on his face.

Jiang Ning commended, "Good job."

His face stayed an enigmatic mask, utterly composed.

Xue Yuantong shot him a look, dramatically declaring, "Wow, Jiang Ning, you're the Erlang God in my eyes!"

Jiang Ning fought to keep a straight face.

He gently warned, "Shut your trap, not another peep."

Xue Yuantong snickered inwardly.

Mrs. Chen ached from the tumble, and once her husband hoisted her up, she jabbed a trembling finger at Jiang Ning and Mr. Qian: "You're finished, you're finished!"

In her thoughts, she vowed to unleash all her influence to destroy the folks at the river dam, dooming them without mercy!

Jiang Ning lifted his hand, feigning another pat toward the dog.

Mrs. Chen shrieked in panic, flailing her arms to shield her face desperately.

Mr. Qian jabbed a finger at Mrs. Chen, guffawing loudly, "What a dog-like human look!"

Mrs. Chen's face turned livid with fury, yet cowed by the massive dog's aura, she held back. Even the greatest authority crumbles before raw brute force.

Shielded by her husband and son, Mrs. Chen scurried back to their Cayenne vehicle.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Jiang Ning spotted her dialing for reinforcements.

Zhang Ruyun, catching the scene, hurried over; as a sensible university student, he understood starting conflicts was simple, but fixing them was tough—society ran by regulations!

Zhang Ruyun grew worried, "My dog Ba Wang bit a person!"

Xue Yuantong: "No real harm, only ripped pants, kept it controlled."

Xiao Ben: "Woof woof!"

Zhang Ruyun: "Still, it terrified her, so we'll owe emotional compensation, pants replacement, and since Ba Wang mauled her dog, treatment fees too!"

Adding it up, the total could skyrocket!

Zhang Ruyun fretted deeply.

Mr. Qian stayed calm, cracking roasted pumpkin seeds, "Ruyun, Xiao Ben isn't your dog."

Zhang Ruyun blurted quickly, "Not mine, then whose is it?"

Mr. Qian must be mixed up!

"Jiang Ning's maybe? Would I stoop to trading the dog for petty payout?" Zhang Ruyun puffed up indignantly; surely he wasn't so reckless?

Xiao Ben woofed twice.

Zhang Ruyun stroked its head, assuring, "Relax, Ba Wang, I won't ditch you!"

Mr. Qian shook his head, "Wrong idea. Actually, it's Dongdong's dog starting today."

At those words, Zhang Ruyun recalled Dongdong and his fearsome grandma, infamous across the river dam area—folks no one dared cross.

Xue Yuantong: "Nine-year-old Dongdong teamed with the fierce-biting Xiao Ben."

An invincible duo, no doubt.

Though set on doing right, Zhang Ruyun paused; letting Ba Wang switch owners briefly to cut costs didn't sound terrible.

Dwelling on it, it seemed ideal. Thus, Zhang Ruyun yelled, "Ba Wang, over here!"

Jiang Ning tossed in offhand, "If Dongdong gripes, say it's from me."

Zhang Ruyun eyed Jiang Ning dismissively, figuring his own status held weight after years in the river dam circle.

…

Zhang Ruyun departed with Ba Wang.

Xue Chuchu stepped out; she'd been cramming English via headphones before. Xue Yuantong swiftly recapped the chaos.

Xue Chuchu watched the man and dog vanish, then quipped unexpectedly, "Perhaps its name never fit from the start."

Mr. Qian pondered briefly, slapped his palms, "Not Ba Wang—Lu Bu suits it better!"

Indeed, this pup now belonged to three owners!

Xue Chuchu teased while eyeing the Porsche Cayenne against Jiang Ning and Tongtong, hopeful yet tinged with concern.

Xue Chuchu grasped public security rules fairly well; mistake-free or not, Director Han could use his position to drag them in for statements legally, or summon by force if needed.

Next, Xue Chuchu mulled Jiang Ning’s parents, top brass at Evergreen Liquid, and how he handled prior thugs unscathed—so surely this would sort itself out, yeah?
