Chen Yu immediately took Ruan Xingyao’s phone, found a suitable spot, and started the livestream.
Just as “Eats Four Eggs a Day” had said, many people online were following the developments of this incident closely.
The moment Ruan Xingyao’s livestream went live, viewers flooded in.
【Finally! Our Streamer Starry is here! Hurry up and tell us what happened next!】
【So it’s confirmed now, right? Only Mingcheng has such a dangerous dog factory, and no other city does?】
【Even if it’s only in Mingcheng, so what? That doesn’t mean people won’t buy the dogs and take them out of the city.】
【Then what should we do? Just thinking about possibly running into dogs carrying something so dangerous makes me too scared to even go outside!】
【Same here! Streamer Starry, can you give us a definite answer—can all these dogs be found and brought back?】
Seeing the barrage of comments, Ruan Xingyao said,
“Don’t worry, everyone. We’re currently in Mingcheng. If you have any doubts about your own dogs, you can bring them to me for an examination. We’ll cross-check each one with the information from the dog factory. If any are missing, I’ll track them down myself—until this issue is completely resolved.”
That was the decision she made after reading the comments.
As soon as she said that, Chen Yu and Yi Wenxue both turned to look at her, and even You Huan and Ruan Xingzhuo looked over as well.
They could hardly imagine how much work this would take—or how much effort Ruan Xingyao would have to put in.
Especially since, by the time she tracked them down, some of those dogs might already have been killed.
They didn’t dare think further about it—because that would mean how deeply it would hurt Ruan Xingyao.
Yet, after a moment, all four of them had the same thought:
This is just who Ruan Xingyao is.
This is exactly the kind of thing she would do.
Ruan Xingyao didn’t notice what the others were thinking.
She continued speaking to everyone in the livestream,
“So, I sincerely ask everyone—if you have any doubts about your dogs, please be patient and wait for me. Don’t hurt them, okay?”
As she spoke, Ruan Xingyao bowed deeply to the camera.
She didn’t straighten up for a full thirty seconds.
【Waaaah… why do I feel like crying so much! I don’t think I’ll ever find anyone who loves animals more than our Streamer Starry!】
【It’s clearly the bad people’s fault! Why does our Streamer Starry have to be the one working so hard and taking all the risks! And those still criticizing her—do you even have a heart?!】
【Waaahhh! Streamer Starry, we support you! I’ll persuade everyone around me not to harm any furry friends!】
【Me too! I’ll do my part for Streamer Starry!】
Ruan Xingyao looked at the comments scrolling across the screen, her chest tightening with a sour, aching warmth.
She gave a sincere smile and said,
“Alright, there won’t be much interaction with everyone in today’s stream. I need to continue examining the dogs that people have brought in.”
Next came the third visitor — a Labrador.
Judging by its age, it was already five or six years old, clearly not one of the dogs sold from the factory in the past six months.
The person who brought it was a thin, scruffy man with stubble on his chin and a pair of sharp, calculating triangular eyes.
Almost the moment he led the Labrador in front of Ruan Xingyao, both her and Yi Wenxue’s expressions turned cold.
The man slammed his hand down hard on the table in front of her and said,
“So you’re the one here who’s buying dogs back at the original price, huh?”
Ruan Xingyao gave him a polite but clearly fake smile and said,
“Yes, that’s right. Is there a problem with your dog?”
The man’s tone was rude and domineering.
“No problem. I just don’t want to keep it anymore. You can take it.”
At that, Ruan Xingyao’s eyes grew even colder.
Even the people waiting safely behind the line outside gasped in outrage.
And the livestream chat instantly exploded with curses.
【What kind of person is this! Saying he doesn’t want to raise a perfectly fine dog anymore? Then why bring it home in the first place!】
【Wait— is this guy yelling at our Streamer Starry? What’s his problem? If she doesn’t buy his dog, is he planning to hit her or something?!】
【Look closely! Streamer Starry’s expression just changed! From what I know about her, this man’s definitely up to no good!】
【Got my sunflower seeds, spicy strips, and soda ready—time to watch the drama unfold!】
Still maintaining her flawless fake smile, Ruan Xingyao looked at the man and said,
“Sure, we can take it. How much do you want?”
The man seemed surprised that she agreed so quickly.
His eyes flicked around shrewdly, then he raised two fingers and said,
“Two hundred thousand. My dog’s worth two hundred thousand.”
Such an outrageous demand immediately set off another wave of angry comments.
Ruan Xingyao asked calmly, “So what you’re saying is… your dog’s market price is two hundred thousand?”
The man lifted his chin proudly.
“That’s right! Two hundred thousand exactly!”
Ruan Xingyao replied, “Alright then. Just two hundred thousand — we can afford that.”
When the man heard that, a glint of triumph flashed in his eyes—like his scheme had just succeeded.
However, the next second, he heard Ruan Xingyao say, “But you’ll have to prove that this dog actually belongs to you before we can buy it.”
The man immediately grew furious, shouting at her,
“This is my dog! How do you want me to prove it!”
Ruan Xingyao said calmly,
“A purchase receipt, for example… or—”
She paused deliberately, keeping him in suspense.
Then she pointed at the well-behaved Labrador and said,
“Make it recognize you as its owner.”
The man instantly panicked.
“What do you mean by that! How could a beast like that recognize a master!” he shouted again.
Ruan Xingyao replied, “Really? Then why don’t you ask everyone else here—do their dogs recognize their owners?”
Hearing that, the man started acting unreasonable.
“Cut the crap! Just give me the money already!” he roared.
This time, it was Chen Yu who slammed his fist down on the table.
His sharp gaze locked onto the man as he said coldly,
“Sir, let me remind you—the condition for bringing a dog here is that it must be your own. If you’ve stolen someone else’s dog, you’ll face legal consequences. For a dog worth two hundred thousand, that means up to ten years in detention.”
Ruan Xingyao turned her head slightly and sneaked a glance at Chen Yu.
He was handsome, with refined features.
Most of the time, he carried himself with calm politeness—sometimes even pretending to be pitiful and meek in front of her.
This was the first time she had ever seen him with such a cold expression.
And honestly?
She had to admit—it made her, a girl who appreciated good looks, stare at him in a bit of a daze.
Catching her expression out of the corner of his eye, Chen Yu secretly felt a wave of satisfaction.
