There were no more sounds after that.
Through the camera hidden in the fur, Shi Lei saw Bai Yuan stand up and leave the scene which was covered by the camera.
The camera began to shake abruptly. The collie obviously followed Shi Lei's order of not letting Bai Yuan out of its sight. It jumped down from the couch and followed Bai Yuan out.
The lounge was brightly lit and the collie followed behind Bai Yuan. It barked when it saw him climb into a car.
Shi Lei saw this and thought that he may have misunderstood something. Yu Banzhi was the only one left in the room and perhaps he would mumble to himself afterward. If Shi Lei could hear his mumbling and even see his actions, perhaps it would help Shi Lei understand Yu Banzhi's intentions.
The collie clearly didn't forget Shi Lei's order. Shi Lei told it that it needed to come back to the building after Bai Yuan left.
First, Shi Lei needed to get rid of the camera on the dog and second, Shi Lei had other intentions.
When the guard saw that the collie was about to leave the lounge in front of his eyes, he panicked and tried to stop it. However, he couldn't keep up with the speed of the collie. The collie turned and sprinted away from the guard in a smart way. The guard was scolded for losing the dog and this time, he didn't dare to act slow. He quickly chased after it after asking another guard to keep an eye on the entrance through a walkie-talkie.
He definitely couldn't chase after the dog in time, but luckily, the collie's intentions were clear. It wanted to go into the building just 200 meters away. The guard could clearly see the collie stand up on its hind legs and scratch the door. Then, someone opened the door and let the collie in.
The guard sighed in relief. At least he found out where it went.
The guard was worried. He didn't know how much it ran in and out a day and didn't know how much effort he put in.
The collie came in and headed straight to Shi Lei's corner. Although it couldn't see Shi Lei, it remembered Shi Lei's scent clearly. A dog's nose was a hundred times more sensitive than that of the human and it was extremely easy to find someone in a crowd.
Shi Lei was waiting for the arrival of the collie and when he saw it running towards the entrance of the lounge, Shi Lei knew it was coming. Hence, it deleted the app for the camera on his phone as he didn't want to leave anything behind.
The collie ran next to Shi Lei and rubbed its head against Shi Lei's legs nicely. It even tried to stand up and put its front paws on Shi Lei.
Shi Lei smiled and patted the collie's head while squatting without talking. He didn't want to use the last chance of the Animal Language Card so he pretended to not wanting to talk.
Shi Lei found the camera and hid it in his palms. He then hugged the collie that helped him and stood up, "Why is the dog here again?"
Bai Shu and Little Lin came over almost in unison, "The dog seems to be going to you, Brother Shitou…" After Bai Shu's scolding, Little Lin finally stopped calling Shi Lei brother-in-law.
"Perhaps, but it's more likely that it came out to play and visit me on the way."
The guard was already knocking on the door outside. Someone opened the door and the guard politely expressed that he was from the lounge next door coming for the dog as he knew that all the children here were either noble or rich.
Shi Lei brought the collie out and smiled, "You need to keep a close eye on this dog. It can't just run out all the time. It's good that it met us. If it was someone else, it may have become a dish on their table."
The guard silently complained I'd hope that it would become a dish so I don't have to come out and look for it all the time. How is it a dog? It feels like it is my ancestor.
He smiled and said that he won't bring more troubles to Shi Lei and the others as he tried to grab the collar of the collie. The guard even brought the leash over this time but the collie didn't let him touch it.
It walked around Shi Lei twice and the guard couldn't catch it successfully, making him look at Shi Lei awkwardly,
This was the second aspect Shi Lei wanted.
"Do you want me to take it back for you? I think it quite likes me."
The guard was extremely happy. He realised that the collie came out for Shi Lei or it wouldn't have been circling him.
Even Shi Lei was surprised himself. After all, he only communicated with the dog once through the Animal Language Card. He ordered it and hence it came for him after Bai Yuan left. Now that Shi Lei no longer possessed the ability to talk to it, the collie still circled around Shi Lei as if they were extremely close.
He bent down and patted the collie's head while pointing at the door, "Can I take you back home?"
It was obviously not in the dog's language, but the collie understood it. It shook its gold fur and wagged its tail in apparent approval.
It astonished Shi Lei even more. He was no longer someone who mastered the language of the dog but why did the collie understand what he said? No wonder dogs were acknowledged as a human's best friend. As soon as it recognised you as its friend, it tried to understand you and your orders. Even if it didn't actually understand what you said, it didn't stop it from comprehending what you meant.
The collie was leading the way. Shi Lei and the guard followed behind it.
When they reached the lounge, Shi Lei stretched out his hands, "Give me the leash and I'll secure it at an appropriate place. Oh, is it fine for me to wander around inside?"
The guard smiled, "Look at what you are saying. Not to mention that you helped me twice, even if you were here and wanted to take a walk inside, there's no problem with it. Please go in as you like. But there's no need to put the leash on the dog. My boss never allows anyone to put a leash on it. The collar is simply for our convenience just in case we can't bring it back after it runs out."
Shi Lei nodded and pointed. The collie immediately guided him into the lounge.
The lounge was constructed in a typical classical garden format. There were fake mountains, small shrubs, and a pavilion. The path was constructed with pebble stones with two obvious pathways. There were waters with a small bridge over it.
Of course, the lounge was mainly made up of a few differently constructed buildings. Shi Lei followed the collie leisurely and enjoyed the construction style of the lounge.
The collie was extremely smart. It seemed to know that Shi Lei came for the two people. Although one person left, the other one was still possibly there. Hence, the collie led Shi Lei towards the building where Yu Banzhi and Bai Yuan talked.
As soon as they reached the building, Shi Lei saw that Yu Banzhi walked out of the door. He seemed completely different from when he was in the room as he returned to the calm owner of the agarwood shop. From Shi Lei's perspective, other than Yu Banzhi failing to show restraint in his words, his manner and state also changed accordingly.
"Brother Yu?" Shi Lei pretended to be surprised.
Yu Banzhi also froze, "Shi Lei? Why are you here?"
