Ruan Xingyao asked, “Why are you silent? Are you too scared to speak?”
Miaomiao had already lost all color from her face; panic filled her eyes, but she couldn’t form a single word.
She just kept shaking her head and repeating, “No… I didn’t…”
Ruan Xingyao sneered and said, “If you won’t speak, then I’ll speak for you.”
Her gaze suddenly turned icy.
“You’re not only a hardcore fan of Gu Yulin, you’re one of his sasaeng fans. To get close to him, you used your cousin’s connections to get into the crew as a staff member.”
Miaomiao was on the verge of collapse; she couldn’t understand how this streamer she didn’t know at all could possibly know these things.
“Shut up! Shut up! I’m not! I’m not!” Miaomiao screamed hysterically.
The words ‘sasaeng fan’ hit her like a blow — she could already imagine the violence that would be directed at her later.
Ruan Xingyao ignored her shouting.
She continued, “On set you took every chance to sneak close to and follow Gu Yulin, so you knew very well that Gu Yulin wanted to replace Cheng Che.”
“When the crew was choosing dogs for the shoot, you brought Hei Lang to the set and casually showed off its skills so it would be picked by Gu Tangzhou.”
“You were the one who suggested using a real bomb on Hei Lang!”
Miaomiao had been driven completely to pieces by Ruan Xingyao’s accusations.
She screamed, “Yes! It was me! What about it!”
Ruan Xingyao lunged toward the camera, her eyes blazing like fire.
She demanded sternly, “Say it! Why did you want Hei Lang dead?”
She didn’t care about the filth of showbiz; she only wanted to know why someone would do that to a dog.
Miaomiao clawed at her own hair in agitation.
After a long while, eyes full of fury, she stared into the camera and shouted, “Why! What else could it be for? Because that damn dog lived better than me! Why should it!”
As she ranted, her gaze noticeably shifted.
Through the camera she stared daggers at “Desimu”.
“My dear cousin — I only owed some online loans back then and asked you to lend me some money to pay them off, promising I’d pay you back, remember how you refused me?”
“You put that dead dog in my house and suddenly you’re generous, giving it twenty thousand yuan a month and making me itemize every bill for you — you’re literally telling me I’m worth less than a dog!”
“Do you know how disgusted I felt feeding it jerky and playing with its toys? How much I hated you!”
“I wanted it dead! I wanted it dead! I wanted it dead!”
“Just a filthy dog — using its death to pave the way for my Yuyu, why wouldn’t I do it!”
“Desimu” simply watched Miaomiao lose her mind from start to finish, calm the whole time.
Only after Miaomiao finished screaming did he speak evenly: “When you asked me for money, I was still a poor student with only six hundred yuan in my pocket. How was I supposed to help you pay? Was I supposed to borrow hundreds of thousands in online loans too?”
Miaomiao yelled in anger, “Why not?! I’m your sister!”
“Desimu” opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
After several seconds of silence, he finally said, “Part of the money for Hei Lang came from the team, and part came from our comrades’ goodwill. It wasn’t paid by me personally.”
Miaomiao: “What did you say?”
On the livestream, Miaomiao’s eyes were full of confusion — she seemed unable to believe what she’d just heard.
“Desimu” said, “If someone maliciously killed a meritorious service dog, I will report it truthfully. You’d better look out for yourself.”
“No! You can’t do this to me! I’m your cousin, you can’t—”
Before Miaomiao could finish, Ruan Xingyao cut off the live connection.
The livestream fell silent instantly.
But the chat was already a chaotic mess.
【What the—! Fake, right? I really don’t believe someone would do something like this just for a role!】
【Can anyone tell me whether this is true or not?】
【Where are the paparazzi? The gossip accounts? The other streamers? They’re usually quick to spread rumors — now that we actually need verification, why is nobody saying anything?】
【So can anyone tell me what happened to Cheng Che?】
【I want to know whether this is real or not; more importantly, how does streamer Starry know so much?】
【Finally someone voiced my question. I feel like I’m reading a supernatural novel — did Starry divine this or something?】
Ruan Xingyao saw the comments.
She popped another piece of watermelon into her mouth.
After she swallowed, she wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Only then did Ruan Xingyao say, “I know you all want to know how I know these things. I can tell you—just as I can hear the thoughts of small animals, this is one of my special abilities. If I have the chance in the future, I’ll tell you more, but for now, please allow me to keep a little mystery.”
【No! Starry, tell us! I really want to know!】
【Why? Why? Why? You’ve got me hooked, streamer Starry.】
No matter how the chat begged her to reveal the secret, Ruan Xingyao remained unmoved.
She said, “As for whether this is true, I believe the police will issue a notice soon. Let’s wait and see.”
Hearing what Ruan Xingyao said, the more experienced fans could already conclude that everything revealed in this livestream connection was real.
【Alright! Then we’ll listen to streamer Starry and wait for the official announcement!】
【Waiting!】
【Waiting+1!】
Ruan Xingyao no longer paid attention to the comments.
She looked at the camera and said to Desimu: “Now that the question you wanted answered has been resolved, is there anything else you need my help with?”
“Desimu”: “No, thank you, streamer Starry.”
His goal had already been achieved.
In truth, once he knew that Hei Lang had been blown up, he had already understood what had happened.
But when he reported it to his superiors, Gu Tangzhou had already pulled strings to have the matter brushed aside.
He was just a low-ranking soldier, unable to disobey the decisions of his superiors, and could only bring back Hei Lang’s remains for burial.
Still, he wanted to seek justice for Hei Lang!
So, he thought of exposing the matter through Ruan Xingyao.
And the outcome had far exceeded his expectations.
