Chapter 108: Apologizing to Huzi

Since these two wanted to see Huzi, Zhou Yu could not refuse. He patted Huzi’s head, smiled, and said, “Huzi, let’s go. Come with me to meet two people. You are their lifesaver—no, their lifesaving dog.”

Riding his electric bike with Huzi, he headed straight to the Guomin Food Stall. When he arrived, he indeed saw the guy with buzzed hair and a gold chain, Shen Hao, and that Lu Yiming sitting outside.

These two had been keeping an eye on their surroundings. When they saw Zhou Yu riding his electric bike with Huzi coming over, they couldn’t help but pause, as this scene was completely unexpected.

But right away, both of them quickly stood up and hurried over to greet Zhou Yu, saying one after another, “Mr. Zhou.”

Looking at Huzi on the electric bike, Lu Yiming felt excitement and deep gratitude inside. Yesterday while surfing, he had treated this dog as an enemy and looked down on it. Yet, when he faced a life-threatening danger, it was this very dog—his enemy—that saved him.

If it had been Huzi knocked into the sea, he felt he would have hesitated for a long time, maybe even panicked and left.

Zhou Yu parked his electric bike at the entrance of the food stall, looked at the two, and said with a smile, “What, haven’t had enough surfing yesterday? Are you two here to compete as a team?”

Hearing Zhou Yu’s teasing, Lu Yiming quickly waved his hands. “No, no, Mr. Zhou, you’ve got it wrong. We’re not here to compete. I am fully convinced. Whether it was the race or anything else, I have completely lost to the Divine Dog. Yesterday, I was wrong. This time, I came specifically to thank you for saving my life.”

“Yes, yes, Mr. Zhou, we came to thank you, not to cause trouble,” Shen Hao beside him also quickly added.

He hadn’t expected to come to Taoyuan Village with Lu Yiming either. It was just that after Lu Yiming woke up yesterday, the first thing he did was look for the Divine Dog, wanting to admit his mistake and thank the Divine Dog for saving his life.

Unfortunately, the Divine Dog had already left. When Lu Yiming heard that the guy who was beaten black and blue had claimed the Divine Dog nearly got him killed, he directly kicked that guy into the water.

Later, Lu Yiming surprisingly found him, softened his tone, and took out the one million betting money, saying he had lost. He didn’t act tough like before after losing, telling him to wait.

Finally, the two of them went ashore and had a meal together, which greatly eased the tension between them. So, they decided to come to Taoyuan Village today together to find Zhou Yu.

He felt that after going through the life-and-death danger while surfing yesterday, Lu Yiming’s personality seemed to have changed a lot.

“No need to thank me, because it was Huzi who saved you,” Zhou Yu pointed to Huzi beside him.

At that moment, Huzi’s eyes looked at Lu Yiming for a moment, then he raised his head high, full of pride and scorn.

Seeing Huzi’s action, Lu Yiming and the others nearby were stunned. They hadn’t expected the Divine Dog to make such a human-like gesture.

“Hey, Divine Dog, thank you for saving my life yesterday. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have stolen your wave. Please forgive me. I promise it will never happen again.” With that, Lu Yiming tried to walk closer to Huzi and spoke gently.

He would never forget the scene stored in his memory—when he felt helpless and about to give up, it was this Divine Dog who pulled him out of the shadow of death.

Huzi’s ears twitched. After listening to Lu Yiming’s words, he looked at Zhou Yu with his eyes.

Zhou Yu smiled, not expecting Lu Yiming to lower his pride and apologize to Huzi. He didn’t make the decision for Huzi directly, but said slowly, “Huzi, he stole your wave and put you in danger. You should decide whether to forgive him or not.”

Huzi tilted his head to think, looked at Lu Yiming, then finally nodded and barked twice at Lu Yiming.

“Alright, Huzi has accepted your thanks and forgiven you. You can go now.” After Huzi barked, Zhou Yu did not hesitate to tell them to leave.

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Lu Yiming and Shen Hao nearby quickly became anxious. “Mr. Zhou, this is not enough. Here’s a two million check to thank the Divine Dog for saving my life. Please, you must accept it.”

“Mr. Zhou, this is the one million I won from my bet with Lu Yiming yesterday. In my view, this was all won by the Divine Dog and should belong to the Divine Dog.” Shen Hao also quickly took out that one million check and handed it toward Zhou Yu.

Li Guomin and his son Li Tianbiao, who were nearby, saw this and were completely shocked. Three million—this was a huge fortune, now within reach. Just by stretching out his hand, Zhou Yu could get it.

Looking at the two checks offered by them, Zhou Yu gave a faint smile and lightly waved his hand. “Your bet; Huzi wasn’t involved, so it’s not Huzi’s. As for your lifesaving gratitude, when Huzi saved you, he only thought of saving a person because they are partners of humans, not because he wanted a reward before saving you. So, please take them back.”

“Alright, I have some things to do at home, so I’ll leave first. You should head back too. Both Huzi and I have forgiven you.” After saying that, Zhou Yu didn’t pause. He got on his electric bike, and with Huzi, sped away in a cloud of dust.

Lu Yiming and Shen Hao nearby hurriedly tried to stop him, but Zhou Yu didn’t even look back.

“Haozi, what do we do now?” Lu Yiming looked at the check in his hand and said somewhat helplessly. He never thought someone would refuse money handed to them like this—this was two million.

Shen Hao looked at the check in his own hand and felt troubled too. As far as he knew, the endorsement contract the Divine Dog signed with the surfboard company was only one million per year, yet Zhou Yu had so casually refused their three million.

Thinking for a moment, his eyes accidentally glanced toward the beach, and his eyes lit up. “There’s a Divine Dog nutrition box on the beach, a donation box to add nutrition for the Divine Dog. How about we put the money in the box?”

A hint of delight also appeared on Lu Yiming’s face. “Good, let’s put it in the box then.”

“You two are wasting your effort. I am Xiao Yu’s uncle-in-law, and I know his character best. If he doesn’t want it, putting it in the box is useless. In the end, he will definitely return it to you. And this box isn’t watched by anyone. If you put a few million in checks in there, someone will steal them in no time.”

At that moment, hearing their words, Li Guomin spoke up with a smile.

“Old uncle, what do you think we should do?” Lu Yiming and the other quickly asked Li Guomin for advice.

“You are city folks, you should have plenty of ideas. Think about it yourselves.” However, Li Guomin did not answer, but told them to think on their own.

Shen Hao scratched his head and thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a way. Lu Yiming looked at this beach, couldn’t help but frown. This beach was not even close to as good as Jing City’s. If not for the Divine Dog, probably not many people would come here.

Thinking of this, his eyes brightened. “Haozi, what do you think about investing the money here, kind of as a gift to Mr. Zhou?”

Shen Hao thought about it, then finally shook his head. “Yiming, with several Divine Dogs here, the investment environment is indeed not bad, but with just our few million, it’s not even enough to fill a gap.”

“Heh, don’t worry. I’ll go back and discuss with my dad. He will definitely agree too.” Lu Yiming, however, smiled without a care.

“Then I’ll go back and try as well.” Shen Hao also nodded. With the Divine Dog here, there might be a chance to persuade his father.

After they left, Li Guomin smiled and called Zhou Yu to tell him about all this.

Learning that these two guys wanted to thank him with investment, Zhou Yu shook his head. Investment was not such a simple matter, and it certainly wasn’t something these two rich kids could decide.
