No sooner had the fragment and the Wannianchun wood box come into his hands than that wretched dog in the living room erupted into a frenzy of barking! It startled Yukun half to death!
Was there something wrong with this dog? It hadn't barked before, but chose to bark precisely the moment he picked up the fragment and the Wannianchun wood box! Could it be that the dog was barking because he had taken things from the villa — and hadn't barked earlier for exactly the same reason?
Irritated, Yukun didn't think too deeply about it, and naturally failed to notice the sound of a car arriving outside the villa's grounds!
In truth, vehicles did regularly pass by outside the villa. The people who lived here were wealthy, and they generally returned home at this hour of the evening. So Yukun never once considered that someone had come back to the villa.
He assumed the dog was barking only because he had taken things! And who could blame him for thinking so — the timing was just too coincidental. Who would have guessed that the very moment he picked up the fragment and the Wannianchun wood box, Wei Zhao and the others would return?
General Weiwu's silence after Yukun first arrived at the villa had been due to an instinctive fear — the dangerous aura Yukun carried frightened the dog! It was much the same as the oppressive presence Wei Zhao had once brought with him, so General Weiwu felt an instinctive fear of Yukun.
It was afraid that Yu Kun would hurt it, and that was why it had curled itself into a ball and paid Yu Kun no heed! Yet General Mighty could also tell that Yu Kun had not come with good intentions!
And so, after Gu Mengyao's car returned to the villa, General Mighty feared that if Gu Mengyao entered rashly she would be harmed by Yu Kun. To keep Gu Mengyao from coming to any harm, General Mighty barked — it was warning Gu Mengyao, telling her that there was danger inside the villa and that she must not come in!
Gu Mengyao had always treated General Mighty kindly, and General Mighty repaid kindness with kindness; there was nothing blameworthy in that. But Yu Kun mistook General Mighty's meaning, and took it that the dog was simply displeased that he had taken something.
So a wave of disgust rose at once in Yu Kun's heart. A mangy dog like you — I spared your life when I came in, and you ought to have counted yourself lucky and stayed quietly where you were. And you still dare to bark? You truly don't know whether you're alive or dead!
How formidable was Yu Kun? A skilled hand of the late Yellow Rank, he drove a kick straight into General Mighty's body, sending the dog flying and leaving it coughing blood on the ground with its organs ruptured — plainly it would not live.
The moment Gu Mengyao entered the villa, she saw General Mighty lying dead on the floor, and beside General Mighty stood a man in black. Her heart lurched, and she roughly understood why General Mighty had suddenly begun barking so loudly!
Gu Mengyao and General Mighty had played together since childhood, and she knew something of the dog's character. The dog bullied the weak and feared the strong — the moment it laid eyes on Wei Zhao it turned into a coward! Though Gu Mengyao said nothing of it, she knew it well enough in her heart.
Fortunately, Wei Zhao had come solely to protect her. General Mighty paid him no mind, and Gu Mengyao had no worries on that score.
But the man in black in the villa now had plainly not come with good intentions. Gu Mengyao believed that if she had not suddenly returned, General Mighty would have hidden himself well and would not have lightly provoked this intruder. It did not matter if the villa lost a few things — Gu Mengyao did not care.
