Chapter 26 The Million-Dollar Lavish Dog
In the Star of Zhonghai Villa, Xu Fan was dressing little Tongtong in a fashionable princess dress, getting ready to go out.
Last night in the taxi, Xu Fan had thought about buying a car and now decided to go take a look first.
After all, the car was to be for Princess Tongtong to ride in, so he definitely needed to take her along.
Whichever one she liked, Xu Fan would buy.
Dressing Tongtong up prettily, Xu Fan carried her out of the villa’s front gate.
As they were leaving, Tongtong babbled excitedly in Xu Fan’s ear, “Daddy, are we going to build a castle?”
“Daddy will take you to buy a car and an excavator first, otherwise how can we build with just our two hands?” Xu Fan wiped Tongtong’s little head and joked with her.
“Excavator? Tongtong likes excavators, Tongtong wants to drive one when she grows up.” Tongtong clapped her hands with joy and cheered.
“Oh no,” Xu Fan felt that he had really shot himself in the foot this time.
His adorable daughter driving a clunky excavator was more than he wanted to imagine.
“Tongtong, let’s go buy the car first, we can talk about the excavator later,” Xu Fan quickly changed the subject.
“But without an excavator, how can we build the castle?” Tongtong pouted and asked.
“Without an excavator, your dad here is a human-shaped excavator,” Xu Fan bent his arm and showed off his biceps to Tongtong.
“Daddy, if you can lift that stone over there, I’ll believe you,” Tongtong said crisply, pointing excitedly at a millstone-sized rock by the road.
“Psh, that’s not hard,” Xu Fan put Tongtong down next to some roadside flowers and rolled up his sleeves as he approached the big stone.
The stone, made of granite, weighed no less than a thousand pounds, placed in the community for aesthetic purposes.
Xu Fan stood in front of the stone, squatted down and tightened his abdomen, and gripped the sides of the stone firmly with both hands.
With a low roar, “Hah!” Xu Fan strained his arms and lifted the stone that weighed over a thousand pounds.
“Daddy is awesome, Daddy is a superhero!” Tongtong clapped her hands excitedly as she hopped around on the grass.
“Haha, this stone is too small, Daddy can lift it with just one hand,” Xu Fan boasted, letting go with one hand and holding the rock steady in the other with no movement.
“Daddy is so great, Tongtong is going to find an even bigger stone, I’m going to stump Daddy today,” Tongtong’s bright eyes twirled as she scurried towards the grass.
“Sweetie, run slowly, don’t fall,” Xu Fan turned around, gently putting the stone back in place. Although he could have just dropped the stone with a release of his hand, that would have made a big commotion, possibly alerting the security guards, which he didn’t want as he preferred a quiet life.
As he carefully replaced the stone and turned around to catch up with Tongtong, a ferocious bark echoed.
And at that moment, Tongtong’s cries also rang out.
Xu Fan’s heart lurched, and instantly, he bolted toward Tongtong like the wind.
A massive black Tibetan Mastiff was charging at Tongtong.
Tongtong’s little face had gone deathly pale, and with a thud, she sat down on the ground.
“Daddy, daddy!” Tongtong’s cry, tinged with sobs, rang in Xu Fan’s ears.
“Damn stray, courting death!” Xu Fan leaped forward, and in the nick of time, positioned himself in front of Tongtong.
The Tibetan Mastiff, covered in shaggy fur, opened its gaping maw and lunged at Xu Fan’s arm.
Xu Fan kicked out angrily, aiming a blow at the beast.
With a “smack,” the lion-sized Tibetan Mastiff was sent flying for over twenty meters by Xu Fan’s kick, slamming into the courtyard wall of another villa, and splattering a large pool of blood.
“Baby, it’s okay now, daddy’s here.” Xu Fan hugged Tongtong tenderly, seeing her pallid little face, with eyes still filled with shock, felt as if his heart was being sliced with a knife.
Just a moment of inattention had almost allowed Tongtong to be bitten by the vicious dog.
Xu Fan thought about the size of the Tibetan Mastiff from before, around 1.2 meters in height, weighing over a hundred pounds, heavier than an adult, a beast that not even several strong men could easily subdue.
If Xu Fan hadn’t arrived in time, the frail little body of Tongtong would have been at risk of being mauled by the creature.
Even though Xu Fan had kicked the vicious dog away at the critical moment, Tongtong was still so terrified by the fierce charge of the dog that she remained in a daze until now, burying her face in Xu Fan’s chest and crying her heart out.
“Daddy, Tongtong is so scared… The big doggie was going to eat Tongtong…” Tongtong cried, her face wet with tears, which wrenched Xu Fan’s heart.
His precious daughter was frightened to such a state by a dog, and Xu Fan was furious.
“Whose vicious dog is this, and why isn’t it kept under control!” Xu Fan roared.
No sooner had he spoken than an even louder voice came from the side: “Who’s the son of a bitch with the guts to beat my Hei Xing into this state!”
A bald muscleman with colorful tattoos all over his arms raged upon seeing the bloodied Tibetan Mastiff beside the villa.
His gaze slowly shifted to Xu Fan and Tongtong.
“Tongtong, don’t cry. Daddy has already kicked the nasty big doggie away! The big doggie won’t dare come after Tongtong anymore.” Xu Fan’s soothing voice, as he held Tongtong, also reached the muscleman’s ears.
“So it was you, you scumbag, who killed my Hei Xing!” The tattooed bald man ran over to the lawn in just a few steps, his menacing gaze unwavering as it fixed on Xu Fan.
“Was it you who killed my Hei Xing?” the tattooed bald man asked Xu Fan fiercely.
“Oh? That mangy dog was indeed kicked to death by me,” Xu Fan responded indifferently, his tone void of any emotion.
“Dammit!” The bald muscleman said bitterly, his face twitching with heartache.
This Tibetan Mastiff was a purebred puppy he’d spent a lot of money to bring home. Just feeding this Tibetan Mastiff had cost him a fortune. Its diet was based on the standards of national athletes; it was fed strictly according to a nutritionist’s plan, and every once in a while, it received check-ups and professional care.
In his care, Hei Xing had cost him upwards to a million in training fees. However, in last week’s underground fighting ring in Zhonghai City, Hei Xing had dominated other dogs, winning ten battles out of ten, making him tens of millions in bets.
Unfortunately, Hei Xing was now just a dead dog stuck to a wall.
“Dammit. My Hei Xing was the King of Zhonghai’s underground dogfighting ring. Do you know how much it was worth, can you fucking afford to compensate me?” The bald man pointed at Xu Fan, his face full of heartache and rage.
