Chapter 779: Chapter 780: Raising Several Ferocious Dogs, Specifically to Bite People Like You
Xia Yangyang quickly left the television station.
Xia Yangyang drove to Luhe Lane.
After getting into the car, Xia Yangyang called Gu Qichen.
Because they had originally agreed to go to the movies tonight.
Xia Yangyang explained the situation at work.
Gu Qichen was silent for a moment, then said, “I’ve heard about that old couple too. Don’t go in when you get there. Wait for me. I’ll accompany you.”
Xia Yangyang wanted to say there was no need.
But Gu Qichen had already hung up the phone.
Xia Yangyang arrived at Luhe Lane in no time.
The area was undergoing construction.
Large bulldozers rumbled about everywhere.
Driving was impossible inside the area.
Xia Yangyang got out of the car.
Xia Yangyang walked in on foot.
Digging machines were still in operation.
A worker with a safety helmet approached her, saying, “Miss, what are you doing here? It’s very dangerous here, you should get out quickly.”
Xia Yangyang showed her press card: “I’m a reporter, here to interview the old couple of Luhe Lane.”
The worker said, “You’re a reporter, ah, then you definitely shouldn’t go in. Those two stubborn homeowners hate reporters. They’ve even threatened to go down with anyone who approaches. The government has no solution, so what can you reporters do? Go home, young lady, you look so frail. What would we do if something were to happen to you?”
Xia Yangyang could only laugh: “Sir, this is my job. I have to go in.”
Seeing that his words of caution were ignored, the worker could only say helplessly, “Then you’ll have to be really careful. Not only are that old couple as tough and repugnant as stones in a cesspit, but they also keep several vicious dogs that especially bite people like you.”
Xia Yangyang wasn’t afraid.
Every matter has its truth.
If the old couple refuses to move, there must be a reason for it.
Finding out that reason was the truth that Xia Yangyang had to uncover.
Xia Yangyang step by step moved into the place.
Once she had moved away from the pile of digging machines, the place had turned into a typical alleyway.
The alley was old and worn.
Basically everyone else had already relocated and left.
The place was deserted, with only the old couple left at the end of the alley.
The ground was full of mud.
Xia Yangyang didn’t care, and kept walking in.
Xia Yangyang discovered.
Although there’s only one household left in this alley, it wasn’t as lifeless as imagined.
There were always a few cats prancing on the rooftops.
There were several stray dogs in the alleyway.
They started barking loudly as they saw Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang didn’t retreat.
Although they were barking at her, they didn’t pounce on her.
Xia Yangyang suddenly thought of something.
She quickly rummaged through her bag.
She found several cookies and buns she had brought for snacks.
Xia Yangyang opened each one up and threw them to the stray dogs next to her.
Seeing food, the stray dogs rushed over and began eating.
They stopped barking, and even wagged their tails at Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang clapped her hands and continued walking in.
Finally, she saw the old couple’s house.
The entrance was a tattered wooden door, already half broken.
Xia Yangyang stood at the door and knocked.
The house inside was like a traditional courtyard.
The courtyard was tidy.
But indeed there were several gas cans piled up.
Soon a woman came out.
Xia Yangyang quickly greeted her, “Are you Aunt Yu?”
The woman, carrying a basin of water, saw Xia Yangyang and approached her with a stern expression, “Who are you?”
“I’m a reporter from the television station, I’ve come here to…”
Before Xia Yangyang could finish, the woman directly splashed the water from the basin onto Xia Yangyang.
