But that warmth did not last long before it was interrupted.
"Hey, who are you? This isn’t a place you can just barge into!"
Lu Jing looked up and saw a young lady in her twenties, dressed head to toe in designer labels, clearly pampered by her wealthy family.
Yet, are young ladies nowadays this impolite?
Her words were filled with ’hey, hey, hey,’ and her tone was none too friendly.
"Who I am is none of your business. Leave now, you can’t just touch that dog!"
Those words seemed to carry a hint of something more.
Lu Jing remained calm throughout:
"Do you know Shen Feng?"
The young lady, hearing Lu Jing mention Shen Feng by name, looked at him intently:
"Of course I know him. Shen Feng used to belong to my brother. Now he belongs to Brother Aye!"
Lu Jing cleared his throat, and his gaze deepened:
The young lady stepped forward quickly and tried to push Lu Jing aside:
"Get out of the way, don’t touch Shen Feng!"
But before Lu Jing could react, Shen Feng barked twice at the girl. He wasn’t as gentle as he had been with Lu Jing, showing his sharp, intimidating teeth instead.
Dogs are naturally protective of their owners, especially a distinguished search and rescue dog like Shen Feng.
Although the young lady might have known Shen Feng many years ago, and Shen Feng recognized her,
Sadly, Shen Feng didn’t seem to accept her!
Instead, he was very protective of Lu Jing, whom he had just met.
Seeing this, the young lady became upset:
"Shen Feng, it’s Sike. Don’t you recognize me?"
Yet, Shen Feng remained aggressive, baring his teeth fiercely.
Fortunately, the handler hurried over at this moment:
"Miss Xing, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, Sister-in-law is here too?"
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, her face changed rapidly.
Just shocked, her pupils suddenly dilating.
Xing Sike perhaps hadn’t quite caught on yet, but Lu Jing had almost figured it out, his lips slightly curling into a cold smirk.
Great, it was the nurse before, and now here comes Miss Xing.
Indeed, some people’s ability to attract attention never seems to wane.

At that moment, the man who was discussing matters with Old Qin in front suddenly sneezed several times.
"What’s the matter? Caught a cold?"
Captain Jiang hadn’t caught a cold in years. The last time had been, what, three years ago? Four?
"If it’s not a cold, then it must be someone’s thinking of you."
Jiang Ye handed the remaining documents to Old Qin:
"You handle the rest."
As he spoke, he began walking away.
Old Qin couldn’t help but laugh uncontrollably.
Jiang Ye always felt a twitch in his eyelid, as if something was about to happen.
Yet his feet involuntarily quickened.
Half a minute later, the reasons for the sneezing and the twitching eyelid were found.
Seeing two women standing face to face in the distance, Jiang Ye almost turned to leave.
But, the handler, eagle-eyed, spotted him:
For the handler, Captain Jiang’s arrival was undoubtedly a relief.
How could he let him walk away now?
Besides, the situation was a matter for Captain Jiang’s family, and outsiders couldn’t interfere.
After the handler called out, he took his chance to slip away.
If he didn’t leave then, he’d find himself caught in the crossfire.
