Chapter 988 Resolving the feud
Lu Jingxing frowned slightly. This was totally unreasonable. Let’s not talk about whether Lala was really his or not. Even if she was his, it was impossible for her to be his just because he said so.

Moreover, looking at this man's unreasonable and rude behavior, if I tell him that you can take the dog back, but ask him to pay for the surgery during this period, I guess he won't agree.

Of course, if he was willing, Lu Jingxing would not give in so easily. The main problem was that he was sure that Lala was definitely not this person's, because he brought this guy back from so far away, and the little guy even spoke with an accent.

He stepped back a little, not wanting to be spitted on the face, and then coughed lightly: "Well, we are all reasonable. First of all, this dog is really cute, otherwise you wouldn't like it so much, right? Secondly, we didn't steal it, we rescued it from somewhere else. When it came back, both of its hind legs were injured. If you are sure you want to adopt it, you may have to pay the fee, and then..."

"Pay? You're kidding. It's my own dog, and I have to pay you for taking it back? If you hadn't stolen the dog, how could my dog ​​be lost? My sister gave it to me before she left, and I even cut its hair. It was a good dog before, but now you've made it disabled. I haven't asked you for money yet." Without waiting for Lu Jingxing to finish his words, the man rushed to speak arrogantly.

"..." Lu Jingxing has seen shameless people, but he has never seen such a shameless person. He resisted the urge to swear and asked under pressure, "You said this is your dog. What breed is it? How old is it? What evidence do you have?"

"Golden Retriever, it's more than six years old. No, why should I answer you like this? This is my dog ​​and I'm going to take it away..." The man replied with two sentences and started yelling again.

When Yang Pei heard him say it was a golden retriever, she couldn't help laughing first.

My goodness, after spending all this time without even figuring out what species this is, you come and steal it?
Lu Jingxing also smiled: "Handsome guy, I think you can stop talking. This golden retriever in our house is definitely not yours. You can look for one somewhere else."

Seeing that everyone was laughing, the man got even angrier: "You guys are a lot, right? I'll call some people over to see if you can keep your mouth shut."

Lu Jingxing really didn't want to make a big fuss over such a small matter, so he waved his hand and said, "Well, don't be angry first. Let me tell you this, we brought this dog back from Gangcheng, not from Long'an at all. Also, its breed is not the golden retriever you mentioned. So, it's not that we don't want to give you the dog, it's that it was never yours. You don't have to ask your friends to come. It's not like we're fighting, right? More people means more power. If you really think we're wrong, then call the police. We can find out where we got the dog back from. We have nothing to fear..."

He spoke in an orderly manner, neither humble nor arrogant. Although the dog was not picked up in Gangcheng, it was on the way back from Gangcheng, which was far away from Long'an.

"It's not a golden retriever? But it looks like the same golden retriever as mine." The man looked at the dog lying on the ground with some disbelief.

"It's very simple actually. You said your dog is six or seven years old, which means you've raised it for several years at least. Since you've raised it for several years, it must know its owner. If it were a cat, I wouldn't dare to say that it would definitely be close to its owner, but a dog like a golden retriever, let alone one that has been lost for a short time, even if it has been lost for a year or two, it is impossible for it not to recognize you as its owner." Lu Jingxing said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Yang Pei muttered quietly, "I told him this a long time ago, but he just wouldn't listen. He thought I was unwilling to give it to him."

Everyone was discussing when suddenly the man squatted on the ground and started crying.

Everyone in the room was stunned, especially Lu Jingxing. What was going on? Such a grown man suddenly covered his face and burst into tears, which caught them all off guard.

Lu Jingxing waved his hand quickly, asking all the employees who were peeking out of the office door to disperse, and then pulled the man up: "Hey, buddy, what's the matter? Isn't it just that the golden retriever is missing? Tell me where it was lost, how it was lost, and how long ago it was lost. We will help you find a solution, don't cry..."

He is really overwhelmed.

The man wiped his eyes and stood up.

Lu Jingxing realized that this person didn't seem very old, maybe only sixteen or seventeen? Eighteen or nineteen at most? He was just a bit fat, probably around 220 or 30 pounds, about 1.9 meters tall, and didn't take care of himself, his face was dark, if you didn't look closely you'd think he was not young, but if you looked closely you could see that his face was actually quite childish.

Many children nowadays mature precociously, and some are very mature at the age of 18 or 19. But after this person cried like this just now, he seemed even more childish, giving people the feeling that he is still completely ignorant.

"It's okay. Come and have some water. Tell us what's going on and see if we can help." Yang Pei was no longer annoyed by this guy's crying. He walked over and patted his arm. He couldn't pat his shoulder because the man was more than one-third older than him. He stood to the side and looked like a child if you didn't look at his face.

Thinking of this, he immediately stepped back after taking the photo, not wanting people to compare him with themselves.

Xi Wenxin led Lala, who was lying quietly on the ground, out. After the man sat down, he watched Lala being dragged out without saying a word to stop her. He just looked reluctant.

Yang Pei poured him a glass of water, thinking that he had been howling since he came in, and he must be thirsty after howling just now.

Sure enough, the man picked up the cup without hesitation and drank the water in one gulp. Then, he handed the cup to Yang Pei: "Brother, I want another cup."

Yang Pei took it with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll pour you another glass, any number of glasses is fine..."

Lu Jingxing was amused by their appearance. The two people who were just incompatible actually reconciled because of this boy's shout. It was too magical.

After the man finished the second glass of water, Lu Jingxing finally persuaded him to open up.

"The dog belongs to my sister. She has raised it for several years. Last month, my sister died in a car accident, and then I brought the dog back. I live in the school dormitory, and I left the dog at home. When I came back last week, the dog was gone. My dad said that when they went out, the dog opened the door and ran out. Then they looked everywhere but couldn't find it. I came to your place to try my luck, but when I saw your dog, I thought it looked like my sister's, and I..." The man said aggrievedly, and his eyes turned red again when he mentioned his sister.

After hearing the reason, Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei fell silent. They didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

After a moment of silence, Lu Jingxing patted the young man comfortingly: "You said you brought the dog back from your sister's house, which means you didn't spend much time with the dog, right?"

The boy shook his head. "We didn't get along that well. My sister went to work and rented a house outside. My grandmother was allergic to cat and dog hair, so she never brought the dog home. She raised the dog. Also, the dog seemed particularly sad when my sister left. The days I was back, the dog lay down and looked unhappy."

When he talked about these things, he seemed to be immersed in memories, talking about this and that and it was difficult to get to the point. Lu Jingxing asked from time to time to bring his thoughts back.

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei looked at each other. Looking at the young man's appearance, they didn't want to ask too many questions, but they also wanted to help the young man find the dog. If they wanted to find it, they would have to ask more carefully. "Where do you live? Do you have a photo of the dog? What's its name? Where did your sister work?" Lu Jingxing made up his mind to help the young man find the dog.

"Oh, there are photos. My sister's circle of friends has a lot of photos." When the young man heard Lu Jingxing ask this, he excitedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Then he quickly found his sister and went to her circle of friends.

There are indeed many videos and photos related to dogs. His sister is completely different from him, but she looks very energetic. I didn’t expect that she is so young... Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei were both sighing in their hearts.

And the dog in the photo does look somewhat similar to Lala.

The young man looked at his sister in the photo and heard her voice in the video, and began to choke up again.

It can be seen that the relationship between the siblings should be very good.

But, alas, Lu Jingxing remembered a sentence he saw not long ago: The death of a person is just another grave for the world, but for those who depend on each other, the whole world is buried in the grave.

He was deeply touched at this moment. Although his sister was not the only person he depended on, he understood the pain of losing the closest person in a car accident. This kind of pain really takes a long time to slowly get over. Moreover, no matter when the corner in his heart is revealed, it will be heartbreaking.

Looking at the young man, the corners of his eyes also became red. He tried to shake his head. After so many years, the feeling that he had finally gotten rid of came over him again, making him a little panic. He tried his best to stay calm.

He took the phone from the young man, quickly saved two front-facing photos of the dog, and then exited the circle of friends.

He tried to speak in a normal voice and asked the young man: "Well, we can just save two photos. The dog's name is Qibao, right..."

"Ah, yes, it's called Qibao, but it can't hear very well..." the young man replied after coming to his senses.

"What do you mean by 'can't hear it very well'?" Xi Wenxin, who came in from outside, couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe your hearing is not very good, right? There is something wrong with your ears?" Lu Jingxing said.

"Yes, my sister said that when she was taking it for a walk outside, there was a gas explosion in a snack bar in the community. My sister happened to be taking Qibao for a walk nearby. Qibao was walking a little fast and was shocked by the explosion. Since then, his hearing has been poor, and he has to shout very loudly for him to hear." The young man slowly told the whole story.

This shocked Lu Jingxing and the other two again. His sister was really full of misfortunes.

Lu Jingxing patted the young man's shoulder again and said, "Here, little brother, add our store's WeChat and send us the photo of the treasure you just saved. Then, tell us your home address, that is, when and where the treasure was lost. We have a platform and will help you post it first, and we can all look for it together. Also, do you know where your sister used to live? Have you looked for it?"

The boy nodded, then shook his head: "I looked for it, but I didn't see it. It seems that the house has been rented out again. I can't even get into the unit door..."

It looks like this community should be a high-end one, Lu Jingxing thought.

Lu Jingxing had already added him on WeChat, and then sent the photos over.

"You go back first and discuss with your parents whether we need to intervene and look for you. If possible, send me a message and we will come over in the evening..." Because the boy was not particularly clear about the specific time and address of the disappearance, as well as the reason, his parents did not seem to explain it to him clearly.

Besides, the boy said that his sister never brought Qibao home because his grandmother was allergic to fur, so it was necessary to confirm whether Qibao got lost by himself.

The boy immediately stood up and bowed to the three men, who immediately helped him up in a panic: "No, you've made me lose all control." Yang Pei wanted to make a joke, but felt that it was not the right occasion, and frowned in distress.

"Thank you brothers. I will go back and tell my parents now. Sorry for bothering you." The boy raised his hand and made a bowing gesture.

"It's okay, no trouble, my condolences..." Lu Jingxing patted the boy's back again and walked him out the door.

The three people who came back to their senses sighed secretly, and then shook their heads at the same time: "It took us so long to get to this point, ah..."

Yang Pei glanced at Xi Wenxin, and they both understood. It would be better not to talk too much about this kind of thing in front of Lu Jingxing. Then, they pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay, let's get off work first. As for the boy, let's wait for his call."

Lu Jingxing nodded: "I will send the information to Luo Yi later and ask him to edit it in advance. If the boy asks us to help find it, we will send it out..."

"Sure. If you want us to look for it at night, just call me. Xiangyu will be here soon and I can go off work." Yang Pei said, looking at the time on the wall.

"Okay, then we'll go first. We promised to go to my sister's house for dinner. By the way, will you go with us?" Lu Jingxing asked Yang Pei.

"I'll do it next time. Xiangyu hasn't come yet and I haven't finished my work yet. When Yinzi gets off work later, I'll go eat with her. But that girl is on a diet and doesn't eat at night. I'll see if she wants me to pick her up. If not, I'll just go to the cafeteria to eat." Yang Pei rubbed her nose.

Lu Yinzi sneezed twice in succession, looked up at the clock on the wall, and laughed softly. It seemed that guy was nagging again. Otherwise, she would accompany him for dinner tonight so that he wouldn't have to eat alone every night.
