He seemed to have a faint impression of it—it seemed that on the day of the birthday banquet, the hotel owner had brought a dog along with him, though at the time no one had paid any attention to the dog, nor did anyone know whether it was a German Shepherd.
"Boss Zhang? This is Xi Caitao." Divine Doctor Xi was on fairly good terms with this hotel owner. Apart from the great families, the other merchants all had decent relations with the Xi family; after all, among these businessmen, the Xi family counted as extremely successful. They might not compare to those old established houses, but they were far stronger than the rest.
"Divine Doctor Xi, hello. What business do you have with me?" The hotel owner was somewhat surprised. Why was Divine Doctor Xi calling him personally? Even when they usually kept in touch, it was always Divine Doctor Xi's eldest son, Xi Guifeng, who contacted him.
"It's like this—I heard you have a German Shepherd?" Divine Doctor Xi asked.
"Oh? I do have one..." Boss Zhang was taken aback, not knowing why Divine Doctor Xi had suddenly brought this up. "My wife has nothing to do at home and enjoys keeping dogs. That day at your birthday banquet, the one we brought along was probably that German Shepherd."
"Boss Zhang, my grandson Zhaolong is quite fond of German Shepherds. We've searched many pet shops and couldn't find one, otherwise I wouldn't have brought this up..." Divine Doctor Xi hesitated a moment. Although openly asking Boss Zhang for the dog might arouse his suspicion, the matter was urgent and there was no time for gradual maneuvering. Besides, even if Boss Zhang grew suspicious, he would never suspect that what they were after was nothing but dog shit.
"Oh? So Divine Doctor Xi's grandson likes German Shepherds? Is that all? I'll have someone send the dog over to you directly..." Boss Zhang was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected that Divine Doctor Xi had called about such a trivial matter. Was this even worth mentioning? With the Xi family's current power and wealth, what dog could they not buy?
He figured that calling to ask him for it was simply a sign that Divine Doctor Xi thought highly of him. Boss Zhang agreed without much thought, but then added a reminder: "Divine Doctor Xi, this dog of mine is a bit special. My wife has been pampered since childhood, and the dog often steals food from the house and relieves itself everywhere... If you hadn't asked, I was actually planning to sell it or give it away. But since I'm giving it to you, I should mention these things in advance. I wouldn't want to deceive you." Divine Doctor Xi thought to himself, isn't that even better? It's precisely because it relieves itself everywhere that we want it. So he said: "These are all minor issues, nothing to worry about. Thank you so much for your help, Boss Zhang. When the time comes, I'll definitely have Zhaolong come and thank you in person!"
"Haha, it's a small matter. Since Divine Doctor Xi says there's no problem, I'll have someone deliver the German Shepherd to you shortly!" Boss Zhang said.
Boss Zhang was one of those who curried favor with the Xi family, so he quickly had the German Shepherd delivered to the Xi residence. After Xi Zhaolong got the dog, he fed it a massive amount of dog food until at last he obtained a steaming pile of dog shit!
"Identical! Completely identical! Through our laboratory's analysis, we've discovered that the components of the Longevity Detox Pill are exactly the same as the components of the dog shit this dog produced. Our previous judgment was correct—the components of the Longevity Detox Pill are German Shepherd feces!" Holding the analysis report excitedly, Xi Zhaolong rushed back to the villa at the first opportunity to report this good news to Divine Doctor Xi.
