Chapter 35.1: Adulterous husband and adulterous wife???

That evening, after finishing their Michelin-starred dinner, Qian Heng, as usual, went off to handle his emails. Meanwhile, Cheng Yao, who no longer had to work overtime on cases, decided to take Megatron out for a walk.

She hadn’t expected, however, that her dog would be such a troublemaker—this walk was about to turn into a disaster.

The neighborhood Cheng Yao rented in was very pet-friendly, so many residents had dogs, and evening walks were a common sight.

Megatron, her dog, usually put on a display of “only the bravest dog prevails” whenever he encountered another dog on the street. It was a ritual—some barking, some posturing, all to establish territory. The owners usually just exchanged amused glances, fully understanding the drill.

But tonight, Megatron did something completely unexpected.

Not only did he not bark, but when he saw a burly Alaskan Malamute, he suddenly lunged forward, yanking Cheng Yao along as he charged at the unsuspecting dog.

Just when Cheng Yao thought Megatron was about to pick a fight, an even more shocking scene unfolded—

Megatron, tongue lolling and drooling, suddenly reared up on his hind legs, pounced onto the Alaskan Malamute, and, right in front of everyone, started enthusiastically humping it…

“Hello? Hubby? Get over here right now! Our baby just got violated by some mutt!”

“What? Which mutt?”

“That one! That one, that one! Just get here and deal with this damned dog! And bring the golf club—we’re beating this thing to death!”

Before Cheng Yao could even react, a bald, gold-chain-wearing man came striding over, golf club in hand, heading straight for her.

Sure, Megatron had been out of line, but he didn’t deserve to die for it! And from the way this guy was coming at them, he wasn’t just planning to take out Megatron—she might not make it out of this alive either!

Without thinking, Cheng Yao whipped out her phone and frantically sent a message to Qian Heng.

“Fountain in the neighborhood! SOS! Come quickly!”

The moment she hit send, the bald man wasted no time—he swung the golf club straight at Megatron. Cheng Yao scrambled to block the attack, narrowly preventing a tragedy.

But the man had a short fuse. Seeing Cheng Yao dodge around like this only made him angrier.

And so, abandoning all pretense of targeting the dog, he raised the club—

And swung it directly at Cheng Yao.

She had always known that some people treated their dogs like family—some even to the extreme, valuing their dogs over humans and going so far as to attack pregnant women or children for their pets. She just never thought she’d find herself in such a situation.

What Megatron did was wrong, but she was sincerely willing to compensate and settle the matter. Besides, no matter what, violence wasn’t the answer!

At this moment, Cheng Yao had already retreated with her dog to a corner of the wall. With nowhere left to run, she could only brace herself to take the hit.

She closed her eyes—but the pain she expected never came.

“A grown man bullying a woman—how does that look?”

Cheng Yao peeked open her eyes and saw Qian Heng standing above her, holding the bald man’s golf club with one hand, blocking the blow. From her angle, she could see the faint outlines of muscles beneath his dress shirt.

She had always thought Qian Heng had a great physique, but she hadn’t realized that his strength wasn’t just for show—he was actually incredibly strong. Even though the bald man was nearly one and a half times Qian Heng’s width, Qian Heng still held him off with just one hand, even seeming to have a bit of ease in doing so. With a slight exertion of force, the bald man staggered back, forced to let go of the club.

“What do you mean ‘bullying a woman’?” At this moment, the sharp-tongued middle-aged woman rushed over, pointing at Cheng Yao and cursing, “Ask her yourself! Do you know what her dog did to my baby? We’ve raised our baby for five years—he’s like a son to us! We cherish him so much, and now this filthy dog has defiled him! Am I not supposed to teach this mutt a lesson?”

Cheng Yao glanced at Megatron, who was cowering in the corner, and felt rage bubble up. Megatron, oh Megatron, not only did you commit sexual assault, but you went for another male dog?! You just saw a male dog and went for it?! This is too much!

Qian Heng gave the couple a calm glance, then chuckled lightly, his tone airy: “I agree that if a dog does something wrong, it should be disciplined. But even discipline should follow the law.”

The bald man lowered his golf club but still backed up his wife. “Fine, then let’s not use force. Let’s settle this rationally. According to the law, your dog committed rape! He should be sentenced and punished! What’s wrong with me beating this dog to death? People get the death penalty for rape!”

“If we’re talking about the law,” Qian Heng cast a glance at Cheng Yao, “then, as the dog’s owner, you should defend your dog yourself.”

For some reason, as long as Qian Heng was here, Cheng Yao felt a sense of security. Even though she was facing this enraged couple who looked ready to tear her and Megatron apart at any moment, she wasn’t as flustered or afraid anymore.

She took a moment to organize her thoughts, then cleared her throat:

“First of all, according to the law, my dog hasn’t actually committed rape. Because legally, raping a male does not constitute rape! The legal definition of rape requires the victim to be female! So, by extension, my dog violating your dog doesn’t legally count as rape either…”

Qian Heng seemed momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Cheng Yao to take this approach.

Encouraged by his reaction—believing that even Qian Heng was impressed by her brilliant counterargument—Cheng Yao continued confidently:

“Even though amendments to the criminal code now classify male-on-male assault under forced molestation, the punishment is far less severe. There is absolutely no death penalty involved! At most, if the victim suffered injuries during the incident, it could be classified under intentional injury, depending on the severity. If your… uh, ‘son’ suffered any harm, you can take him to the vet for an examination. I’m willing to compensate you and sincerely apologize. I will also ensure that my dog is properly restrained in the future…”

“Absolute nonsense!”

“That’s bullshit!”

To Cheng Yao’s surprise, both Qian Heng and the bald man spoke at almost the exact same time.

Qian Heng’s actions didn’t just surprise Cheng Yao; even the bald man was taken aback. He glanced at Qian Heng before stepping forward to shake his hand, his tone carrying a sense of camaraderie and admiration. “Brother, it looks like you’re a reasonable man! Just listen to what she’s saying—claiming that raping a man doesn’t count as rape. Are we men not human too?”

“……”

Big brother, now is really not the time for you to wallow in self-pity on behalf of all men…

Luckily, the middle-aged woman quickly brought the conversation back on track. “Enough with this nonsense! That dog did something unforgivable to my son! Fine, I won’t beat it to death, but you have to neuter it—then we’ll call it even.”

If Megatron were neutered, Cheng Yao could already imagine Qin Qin wailing and sobbing uncontrollably…

No way! She had to fight for him!

But just as she was about to argue, Qian Heng took it a step further, rubbing salt into the wound. “Everything she just said is invalid. None of it is true.”

The bald man patted Qian Heng’s shoulder. “Brother, you’re a straightforward man! Since you’re here, why don’t you judge this matter fairly? Tell us how to settle this!”

Cheng Yao frantically blinked at Qian Heng, completely bewildered. How had this guy suddenly switched sides at the last moment?!
