Ch 106 : Streamer Starry, I beg you, please help me!

At the end of the A4 paper, Ruan Xingyao wrote:

“These are Zhang Tiantian’s private matters. At present, there’s no evidence proving that her background is connected to this case. I hope that unless it’s absolutely necessary, you can keep it confidential for her.”

Wan Laiming stared at the sheet with mixed feelings.

He hadn’t expected that this somewhat arrogant, cocky girl would actually have such a soft side.

His gaze shifted to Buguo, who was lying listlessly on the sofa.

The moment he looked over, Buguo immediately stood back up.

It stared at him pitifully and whimpered softly.

Even though Ruan Xingyao wasn’t there to explain what the dog meant, Wan Laiming still understood.

Buguo was asking if he was going to drive it away.

Wan Laiming walked over, sat down beside it, and gently stroked its back. “Don’t worry. Until we find your mother, you can stay with us for now.”

Buguo lifted its head, rubbed against Wan Laiming’s leg, and whimpered again.

Ruan Xingyao strode out of the Changcheng Police Bureau.

Only after crossing the street did she finally stop.

She turned her head back toward the entrance.

That little fellow hadn’t come chasing after her.

She felt both relieved and sad at the same time.

But since she had already made her choice, she could only accept it calmly.

Silently withdrawing her gaze, Ruan Xingyao pressed down her emotions.

Chen Yu had already caught up, stopping in front of her and watching her expression closely.

Just as he was about to say something, You Huan and Ruan Xingzhuo came running up from not far away.

“Sis!”

“Xingxing!”

The two circled around Ruan Xingyao several times, carefully checking her over.

Only then did You Huan cling to her and hug her tightly. “Xingxing, thank goodness you’re okay.”

Ruan Xingyao couldn’t help but laugh, flicking her finger against You Huan’s forehead.

“What are you worrying about? What could possibly happen to me at the police station?”

You Huan pouted, her eyes darting defensively toward Chen Yu.

Clearly, he was the one she thought something could happen with.

Even Ruan Xingzhuo couldn’t help glancing at Chen Yu.

The two of them amused Ruan Xingyao so much that the heaviness in her heart instantly lifted.

She also found herself glancing at Chen Yu, and when her eyes met his helpless look, she chuckled again.

Pulling her gaze back, Ruan Xingyao said, “Alright, work’s done. Let’s go!”

Linking arms with her, You Huan asked, “Xingxing, want to grab a late-night snack? Changcheng’s night food is really famous, and it tastes great.”

After working for so long, it was only right to treat themselves.

Ruan Xingyao hadn’t been hungry before, but when You Huan mentioned it, she instinctively touched her stomach.

Perking up, she said with excitement, “Yes, yes! What should we eat?”

By now, the temperature had dropped quite a bit, and she felt like wandering around the city a little.

You Huan thought for a moment, then said, “I remember there’s a really famous stir-fry place nearby. The food’s incredible. How about we try that?”

Ruan Xingyao nodded eagerly and walked forward hand in hand with her.

Ruan Xingzhuo and Chen Yu followed behind, exchanging a glance.

Not even asked for their opinions, huh.

The four reached the street corner and flagged down a taxi.

After You Huan gave the driver the address, she leaned against Ruan Xingyao, curiosity brimming in her voice. “Xingxing, what did you do at the police station?”

Ruan Xingyao put a finger to her lips and shook her head. “Shh, it’s a secret. Just wait for the official report.”

You Huan let out an “oh” and obediently stopped asking.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the place she had mentioned.

The moment they got out of the taxi, Ruan Xingyao was already hit with the mouthwatering aroma wafting through the air.

She sniffed the air, her little nose twitching, and her eyes were already darting around like a radar scanning the distance.

She asked, “Huanhuan, which shop are you talking about?”

You Huan pointed toward the busiest shop in the distance and said, “That one.”

Ruan Xingyao cheered and started striding energetically toward that shop.

But after only a few steps, she was blocked by someone.

It was a young woman holding a three- or four-year-old child.

Her hair was messily tied at the back of her head, and after stopping Ruan Xingyao, she suddenly dropped to her knees right in front of her.

This startled Ruan Xingyao badly.

She instinctively stepped back, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at the woman.

Ruan Xingzhuo and Chen Yu immediately stepped forward, raising their arms to shield Ruan Xingyao and You Huan.

Seeing this, the woman edged forward again while clutching her child.

Her knees scraped directly against the ground, and after just a few moves, bloody marks had already formed.

Clutching her child, she kowtowed forcefully toward Ruan Xingyao. “Streamer Starry, please, I beg you, help me!”

Her sudden action caught both Chen Yu and Ruan Xingzhuo off guard.

When she was about to kowtow a second time, Chen Yu reacted quickly and stopped her.

Chen Yu said, “Who are you? What are you trying to do?”

He didn’t pull the woman up, but pressed down on her shoulders, preventing her from moving freely or making any sudden dangerous moves.

The woman was startled by Chen Yu’s action, her expression filled with fear.

But soon, after glancing at her child, she mustered her courage again and fixed her pleading gaze on Ruan Xingyao.

Her eyes were full of desperation. “Streamer Starry, please, I beg you, help me!”

Meeting those eyes that clung to her like a final lifeline, Ruan Xingyao let out a silent sigh.

She pushed aside Ruan Xingzhuo’s arm, took a step forward, and said to the woman, “Get up first. Whatever it is, speak properly.”

The woman seemed torn.

She tightened her grip around her child, her face showing deep struggle.

Ruan Xingyao said, “If you keep kneeling like this, then there’s nothing to talk about.”

As soon as the woman heard this, she immediately scrambled up from the ground.

Ruan Xingyao glanced around—by now, a lot of people were already gathering to watch.

She was just about to suggest finding a more private place when she heard people in the crowd calling out:

“What’s going on? Let us hear too!”

“So this is Streamer Starry? Then let us watch as well!”

The voices around them grew louder and louder.

Ruan Xingyao thought for a moment, then looked at the woman and asked, “Do you mind if I start a livestream?”

The woman quickly weighed her options, then shook her head firmly. “I don’t mind.”

In fact, she hoped Ruan Xingyao would stream—it was the only way to make her situation known widely.

Ruan Xingyao pulled out her phone and said, “Alright then, I’ll start a livestream.”

It was already past midnight, and her sudden stream caught everyone off guard.

Fans who got the notification rushed in immediately.

【Look what I found! It’s Streamer Starry’s livestream!】

【I thought we wouldn’t get to see Starry’s streams for a while—what incredible luck today!】
