There’s a very counter-intuitive social gifting technique for men—give them items intended for women.

Because they don’t understand, they find it interesting, and it has more differentiated value than giving ordinary stuff.

Gru looked at Cheng Daqi in surprise, waved his hand dismissively, and replied.

“I’m a bachelorist, Chan.”

Why don’t you play by the rules?

Cheng Daqi was a bit dumbfounded.

He reluctantly put away the “top-notch large diamond” that cost him five dollars and took the opportunity to lightly compliment Gru.

“Mr.

Gru, such an outstanding man as yourself still adhering to bachelorism, the girls on the West Coast must be weeping every night.”

The black police officer Gru cracked a smile and invited Cheng Daqi to sit down for a talk.

Come with me, let’s talk in the reception room.”

He led Cheng Daqi to a living room sectioned off in the basement, where, remarkably, there was a huge iron cage.

No, to be precise, it wasn’t a cage, but rather an area against the wall that had been fitted with iron bars.

There were a few wooden sheds within the bars, and something seemed to be moving inside.

The place was filled with a strong stench, a mix of rotten eggs and feces that made Cheng Daqi frown a little.

He wasn’t sure what play Gru was trying to make.

“I’ve got a couple of cuties here, take a look.”

Following the direction of Gru’s finger, Cheng Daqi noticed two pairs of glowing eyes.

“BB, DD, come out, it’s time for breakfast, babies.”

Gru ignored what Cheng Daqi was thinking and, carrying a bag, crouched in front of the cage.

Two North American gray wolves, their fur dirty and matted, emerged from the sheds.

“Mr.

Gru, your pets are indeed very cute.”

Cheng Daqi said with a tingling scalp.

He knew that Middle Eastern tycoons would keep lions, tigers, and leopards, but he never imagined that someone he knew would have wolves.

What was in Gru’s bag was freshly cut meat still dripping with blood.

He stood in front of the cage and threw a bloody piece into it.

“Cute?

There were three wolves here before, and these two ate the skinniest one so they wouldn’t starve.”

Gru’s remark sent a chill through Cheng Daqi; he took a closer look and noticed that the two North American gray wolves were indeed very thin, barely skin and bones underneath their fur.

They had certainly been starved for a long time.

That’s a shame, they shouldn’t eat their own kind; beasts and humans should be different.”

Cheng Daqi was now somewhat concerned about Gru’s mental state.

What sane person the hell keeps gray wolves in a basement?

Aren’t you afraid that the howling wolves will draw the cops over?

Wait, you’re the top cop around here, so never mind.

“Humans are animals too, Chan.”

Gru threw another piece of meat then turned around, looking at Cheng Daqi with an implied threat as he spoke.

“Isn’t this world just a dog-eat-dog world?”

Cheng Daqi didn’t answer, he just silently nodded.

Talking about such topics in this environment felt a bit terrifying for Cheng Daqi.

He was afraid Gru would order him on the menu.

America had its share of cannibals, not just Hannibal.

I apologize for underestimating you in my mind, Gru, it was my mistake, I’ll regard you as a boss from now on.

“Look at these two beasts, fighting over a piece of meat, even though there’s plenty more here.

They still fight over that one piece.”

The two gray wolves were right to fight over the meat because Gru set the bag aside, sat opposite Cheng Daqi, and showed no intention of continuing to feed them.

Big brother, is this really how you raise your ‘cuties’?

Watching the two gray wolves tangled up, biting each other, bloodied, Cheng Daqi felt a chill in his heart.

The intimidation from a top black cop was truly extraordinary.

Cheng Daqi felt Gru’s threat.

From his entry till now, everything Gru had said carried a deeper meaning.

“Animals driven to extremes can unleash unprecedented potential; these two gray wolves are so thin, yet they can still fight to a bloody pulp, quite ferocious indeed.”

Cheng Daqi nodded in approval, seemingly endorsing Gru’s raising strategy.

The actual meaning: Lao Deng, if you piss me off, I’ll bite you to death.

The black cop said nothing, but took out a large-caliber handgun.

Cheng Daqi’s eyelid twitched, thinking Thor’s damned behavior of drawing a gun for anything, did he learn that from you?

Big beast leading the little beast, you’re both damn beasts.

“We have a guest today, and they’re still fighting like this, it’s not appropriate.

Chan, do you think it’s appropriate for them to fight like this?”

Cheng Daqi quickly caught on and affirmed his answer.

“Of course not, they’re both locked up in a cage, they should cooperate.

If they share, they can each have a piece of meat and avoid a lose-lose fight.”

Black police officer Gru laughed heartily at Cheng Daqi’s reply.

He was gasping for breath as he laughed, talking while laughing.

“Cheng, here’s the key.

You go in and persuade them.

You have such a way with words, they’ll definitely listen to you.”

As he spoke, Gru really took out a key from his body and handed it to Cheng Daqi.

Gru laughed very happily and Cheng Daqi also had a smile on his face.

They seemed to have really thought of a way to resolve the dispute between the two gray wolves.

After laughing for a while, Gru finally stopped.

He looked at Cheng Daqi’s face as if to see something but did not continue to speak.

Cheng Daqi’s smile turned into a loud laugh.

“Hahaha, fine, I’ve never tried anything so interesting.”

He snatched the key from Gru and turned to walk towards the iron cage.

Two starving North American gray wolves are terrifying.

But bipedal humanoid beasts are even more frightening.

Moreover, Cheng Daqi did not really need to face the North American gray wolves.

What he and Gru were playing now was a game of who had the bigger guts.

The top-level black cop touched his chin stubble with one hand, watching Cheng Daqi’s departing back with a meaningful look; he didn’t believe Cheng Daqi had such big guts.

Cheng Daqi did not look back, without looking, he knew Gru was watching him,

This was the final test, once past this point, Gru would no longer have a hold over him.

Gru, you are fierce, but I am also qualified to work with you.

Intimidation?

Not a chance!

I’m going to kill your horse!

Cheng Daqi walked past that bag filled with meat without even glancing at it, heading straight for the iron door.

With one hand, he used the key to unlock the door; Cheng Daqi’s other hand reached into his pocket for a defensive blade.

This was still given to him by Sani.

The lock was opened, Gru still hadn’t spoken.

Of course, the two gray wolves could not overlook the arrival of an uninvited guest; with bloodthirsty eyes, they slowly paced towards Cheng Daqi.

The gray wolves were sizing up this large prey.

“Cheng, it’s so dangerous, maybe you should come back.”

Just as Cheng Daqi was about to pull open the gate, Gru seemed to kindly halt his actions.

The black cop spoke with a friendly, concerned tone.

“Animals will always be animals, fated to fight to the death for a piece of meat all their lives.

Why argue with them?”

Hear that?

I’m insulting you!

Cheng, I admire your intelligence and courage, but in my eyes, you’re just a dog.

Even if you cling to a rich woman, even if you start a business in America, even if you have so many beauties around you, you’re still a dog.

Seeing an opportunity and fighting me without considering the consequences—do you have that strength?

Either go in and fight the wolves or crawl back here.

Without the senator’s niece, you’re just a dog.

Did you really think I invited you today just to talk about investment?

I just pulled you out alone, to train a dog!

Gru felt like he was now the king of Saint Rodu and Cheng Daqi should immediately turn back, groveling at his feet.

I can work with Temir, but don’t pretend anymore; you don’t qualify!

“You’re right, animals will always be animals, they’ll never understand the value of cooperation.”

Cheng Daqi replied with full sarcasm and pulled open the iron gate.

You’ve been compromising for so long now, what are you still playing at, Lao Deng?

Does self-delusion help?

You are just a paper tiger, Lao Deng.

I’m in here now, do you dare not to save me?

Sir, you wouldn’t want the things you’ve done to be known by others, right?

Seeing Cheng Daqi daring to enter the cage, the two gray wolves did not hesitate and pounced upwards; they were starving mad.

“Bang!

Bang!”

Cheng Daqi experienced the sensation of bullets whizzing by him for the first time.

Upon hearing the gunshots, he instinctively closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his face was already splattered with the blood of a gray wolf.

Two precise headshots, both gray wolves were dead on the spot.

Cheng Daqi sat back down beside Gru, lit a cigarette, wiped the blood from his face with his clothes, and silently smoked.

Looking at the bloody wolf carcasses, he knew he had won.

Gru irritably dialed Thor’s phone number; as for what he said, Cheng Daqi could no longer hear clearly.

He licked his lips; the taste of blood was strange, and Cheng Daqi smiled.

This kind of thrilling life is quite interesting.
