You Huan’s little face scrunched up in worry.
If they were somewhere with even a bit more civilization, it would’ve been fine — she could’ve just run out to buy Ruan Xingyao food, as much as needed.
But on the way here, they had already realized that this dog factory was in a completely deserted suburban area.
They hadn’t seen a single store along the road — there was absolutely nowhere to buy food.
Ruan Xingzhuo asked, “Sis, how are you feeling now? Should we head back to the city first?”
Ruan Xingyao shook her head. “Let’s deal with things here first.”
After regaining a bit of strength, she patted Chen Yu’s hand — he was still holding onto her — signaling him to let go.
Then she simply sat down on the ground.
With nothing else to eat, all she could do was rest for a bit.
Just then, Jiang Xuan and a few of his colleagues walked over, each carrying some food in their hands.
“Expert Ruan,” Jiang Xuan said, “if you don’t mind, you can have these.”
What they brought wasn’t anything fancy — mostly compressed biscuits, a few sausages, and some marinated eggs — all things they usually carried on cases to keep up their energy.
Ruan Xingyao gave him a grateful smile. “I don’t mind at all. Thank you.”
You Huan and Ruan Xingzhuo quickly took the food, sat down beside her, and started opening the packages one by one, passing them to Ruan Xingyao.
Chen Yu also sat down and joined in.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan and his team didn’t join the unpacking, but they sat down nearby.
As Ruan Xingyao ate more and more, the color gradually returned to her face, and some strength came back to her body.
That feeling of weakness, like she might faint any moment, finally faded away.
One of Jiang Xuan’s colleagues couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked, “Expert Ruan, can you tell us what exactly you just did?”
After all, she had only closed her eyes and made a few gestures — how could she end up so weak from that?
Ruan Xingyao said calmly, “I searched through their memories. From the moment they were born until now — everything they’ve seen and heard, I can retrieve it from their memories.”
The moment she said that, even Chen Yu, who had witnessed it once before, couldn’t help but be shocked again.
As for Jiang Xuan and his colleagues — their expressions were filled with disbelief.
Someone directly said, “Expert Ruan, are you joking with us? There’s no way a person could do something like that!”
Ruan Xingyao looked at him, not angry, just replying lightly, “Didn’t it also seem impossible to you that I can understand what animals say?”
“But Expert Ruan,” another person protested, “you’re saying you can search through memories — that’s just too far-fetched! This isn’t a fantasy novel; what is this, some kind of Soul-Searching Technique?”
Ruan Xingyao said, “Believe it or not, it’s the truth. And I can also tell you this — I wasn’t just searching their memories; I was treating them at the same time. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to endure the pain caused by the process.”
“That’s… impossible…” someone muttered in disbelief.
But almost immediately, they all recalled how those dogs had first reacted — restless and agitated.
Some of them, clearly with weaker endurance, had even started whimpering in pain.
And yet, within moments, they had all calmed down and lain quietly on the ground.
Even if they couldn’t fully accept it, the truth was right before their eyes — forcing them to believe what Ruan Xingyao had said.
Chen Yu then spoke up. “I can vouch for it — everything Xingxing said is true.”
He didn’t mention what he’d seen before with Buguo’s painful reaction; he just wanted everyone to know that Ruan Xingyao wasn’t lying.
Someone finally couldn’t help but mutter, “Is this even the same world I know anymore? Did we accidentally wander into some kind of cultivation channel?”
Otherwise, how could someone like Ruan Xingyao — a person with such supernatural abilities — even exist?
Ruan Xingyao ignored the comment.
Having recovered a fair bit of her strength, she didn’t waste any more time.
She turned to Jiang Xuan and said, “I’ve compiled some of the information I obtained from their memories. This place used to be just an ordinary dog factory. Earlier this year, the owner passed away, and his son came back from abroad to take over. He fired all the original workers, replaced them with his own people, and moved the factory to this new location.”
Just then, Jiang Xuan received a report from the station regarding the interrogation results — exactly matching what Ruan Xingyao had described.
He stared at her in shock for a long moment before finally saying, “Our team just interrogated several of the workers — and it’s exactly as you said, Expert Ruan.”
At that, even those who had still been skeptical could only gape in astonishment.
Someone muttered under their breath, “Is she really that incredible…?”
Ruan Xingyao continued, “Those people never saw the puppies as a threat. They often talked openly about their operations right in front of them. To summarize — they’re traitors to the nation. The implantation of cameras in the dogs’ eyes was an experiment they had already been conducting in Country A.”
“The current operation works like this: they sell live recordings of couples, spouses, or other relationships at a high price on the dark web.
They secretly record the daily lives of elderly people living alone, observing their children and acquaintances to select targets for scams or inheritance theft.
They also watch young people’s routines and social lives, identifying those who are healthy and lack close family or friends — then stage accidents to harvest and sell their organs.”
By the time Ruan Xingyao finished speaking, everyone present was utterly stunned.
But she wasn’t done yet.
After taking a few sips of water, she continued, “Everything I’ve said so far concerns ordinary people.”
“Wait—there’s more? You mean there are unordinary targets too?” someone asked, unable to hold back.
Ruan Xingyao nodded. “I told you already — they’re traitors.”
Everyone stared at her without blinking, each face solemn, waiting for Ruan Xingyao to say something even more shocking.
Ruan Xingyao said, “What they did to ordinary people was just a way to make money. Their true goal is expansion — to increase the number of dogs implanted with these ultra-micro cameras until they’re spread across the entire country. And it’s not limited to dogs. All small animals that can be kept as pets are within their plans.”
“But that still doesn’t prove they’re traitors, does it?” someone asked.
The accusation was far too serious, and it was hard to believe that citizens raised under compulsory education could go down such a path.
Ruan Xingyao cast that person a sidelong glance and said, “That’s where their other operation — the one targeting unordinary people — comes in.”
Everyone’s breathing grew shallow.
Their eyes were all fixed on Ruan Xingyao.
At that moment, the entire dog factory fell completely silent.
