Mu Tou was taken aback for a moment. He then frowned, looking strangely at the newcomer.

"Why do you ask?"

The new security guard scratched his head.

"Our boss is so rich. There’s no way he’d ride a shared bike~"

Hearing this, Mu Tou couldn’t help but laugh.

"Who said rich people can’t ride shared bikes? Who told you that, huh? Heh, alright, go on and get some rest."

After speaking, he gave the young security guard a salute before they switched places.

Just then, Mu Tou suddenly asked,

"Hey? Where’s Vajra?"

For some reason, that guy Vajra had been standing guard at the gate with the new security guard all morning. But now that Mu Tou was here, he was nowhere to be seen.

The young guard immediately pointed to the base of a large tree not far away. There, on a wide lounge chair, was Vajra, fast asleep with a hat covering his big face, snoring loudly.

Seeing how comfortable the guy looked, Mu Tou couldn’t hold back a laugh.

「...」

At the door to the study in Villa Five, Fang Chenyi pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered, Wei Yilong, who was inside, shot up from a small folding stool.

"Boss, what’s wrong?"

Fang Chenyi gave him an annoyed rap on the head and said,

"How old are you? Why are you still so loud and jumpy? Alright, sit down. I have something I need you guys to do."

After speaking, he walked straight toward the center of the group.

He waved his hand, signaling for everyone to sit down, then cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Ahem, well, it’s like this... I, uh, I’m planning to..."

SCREEECH~

"Report, Chief! Principal Wang is here, at the main gate. He wants to see the Boss."

To be honest, Fang Chenyi was feeling a bit too embarrassed to talk about the proposal. He had just taken a deep breath and was about to speak when Mu Tou’s voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie on Qi Xiaotian’s hip.

Qi Xiaotian flushed with embarrassment. He hadn’t thought about it and had forgotten to turn off his walkie-talkie.

But since he’d already forgotten, he might as well just report directly to Fang Chenyi.

"Boss, Principal Wang is here at the gate."

Fang Chenyi had already heard the voice from the walkie-talkie. He hadn’t expected that guy Principal Wang to show up at a time like this, but since he was here, he couldn’t very well turn him away.

So, he simply nodded at Qi Xiaotian.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaotian immediately spoke into his walkie-talkie to Mu Tou, "Villa Five, conference room."

After that, he shut off the walkie-talkie.

「...」

Meanwhile, at the main gate, Principal Wang was crouching on the ground with a speechless expression, petting Wang Keke’s head while waiting for Mu Tou’s reply.

As for Er Gouzi, this was his home, so he had already dashed off into the villa complex to play.

Soon, Qi Xiaotian’s voice came through Mu Tou’s walkie-talkie. Hearing it, Principal Wang stood up and patted Mu Tou’s shoulder with a smile.

"Brother Mu Tou, I’ll head on up then. I’ll treat you to a meal when I have time."

With that, he called out to Wang Keke and prepared to head inside.

But just then, a mournful howl from Er Gouzi suddenly echoed from the courtyard. Immediately after, a hulking man, well over two meters tall, appeared, walking toward them while dangling a husky from his hand.

Principal Wang looked at the approaching figure. Due to the backlighting, he couldn’t see the person’s face clearly, but he was shocked by just how tall the man was.

AWOO~ AWOO~

Suddenly, two sharp barks rang out, and with that, the mournful howling from before immediately stopped.

Principal Wang wasn’t too concerned by this scene. He figured it must be a new security guard who didn’t recognize Er Gouzi and had caught him. However, those barks still puzzled him. He didn’t know who had made that sound.

But Mu Tou, who was standing to the side, was startled and quickly shouted at Vajra,

"Vajra! Don’t hurt Er Gouzi!"

As Mu Tou’s voice fell, the dark figure had already reached them.

This time, because Vajra was blocking the sun, Principal Wang got a direct look at his face.

The next moment, the previously calm Principal Wang let out a terrified cry of "Holy—!" and immediately turned and ran back to his car.

’What the hell, that’s not a person! That’s a gorilla!’

Seeing her beloved dog had been caught, Wang Keke, who was beside him, bared her teeth and looked ready to charge.

At that moment, however, Er Gouzi, still in Vajra’s grasp, suddenly barked twice at Wang Keke. After hearing him, she quieted down.

"Vajra, let him go! He’s also one of your master’s pets!"

When Mu Tou saw that the dog was only being held by the scruff of his neck, he let out a long sigh of relief. He had thought Vajra might have swatted Er Gouzi to death. It was a good thing he was still alive.

Hearing Mu Tou, Vajra didn’t let go. Instead, he grunted twice, pointed at Er Gouzi in his hand, and then pointed at the lounge chair under the big tree. Clearly, he was tattling to Mu Tou, complaining that Er Gouzi had disturbed his sleep.

Mu Tou couldn’t help but laugh at the sight, finding Vajra’s pitiful, aggrieved expression particularly amusing.

He shook his head helplessly, then pointed a finger at Er Gouzi and began to scold him.

He didn’t know if Er Gouzi could understand him, but it was obvious that Vajra could.

Hearing Mu Tou start to scold Er Gouzi, Vajra broke into a wide, happy grin. He promptly dropped Er Gouzi on the ground and bared his teeth at the dog.

Seeing this, Er Gouzi quickly scampered behind Mu Tou.

’These two are so human-like,’ Mu Tou thought, feeling a renewed sense of admiration for his boss.

With the situation here handled, Mu Tou was surprised to find that Principal Wang was gone. A quick search revealed that at some point, he had fled back to his car.

With a helpless smile, he waved, signaling that it was safe to come out. But the man refused, shaking his head from inside the car like a rattle drum.

Finally, he stomped on the gas, and the car sped directly toward the entrance of Villa Five.

Mu Tou could only smile helplessly at the sight. He then turned to look at Er Gouzi behind him.

"Don’t go provoking Vajra in the future, you hear? You’re both members of this family, so you need to live peacefully."

When Vajra heard Mu Tou’s words, his gaze toward Er Gouzi no longer held any threat. In fact, it was replaced by a hint of excitement.

He beckoned to Er Gouzi, gesturing for the dog to come over.
