“Eats Four Eggs a Day” was in agony.
He was close to tearing his hair out, but still couldn’t think of a good solution.
He painfully lifted his head, eyes red, and looked into the camera.
“Streamer Starry, I really don’t know what to do. I like the puppy very much—I was ready to raise it with my girlfriend for the rest of its life—but now, I really don’t know what to do.”
As he spoke, tears he couldn’t hold back began to fall.
He wiped his face with his hand and continued, “I know the puppy is innocent, but I really can’t face it calmly. Even if I take the camera out of its eye, I’ll still be tormented every day wondering whether there are other dangers.”
The more he spoke, the more hoarse his voice became, and the tears streamed down uncontrollably.
“The only thing I’m grateful for now is that I haven’t taken the puppy to meet my girlfriend yet,” he said.
At least, he hadn’t harmed his girlfriend.
“I don’t want to hurt the puppy either—I don’t want it to be mistreated before it even had a chance—”
He didn’t finish the sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
For a dog with such risk factors, even if you remove the camera surgically, you can’t interact with it in the same normal way.
So the bluntest, one-and-done solution would be to put them to death and eliminate the danger entirely.
But what a cruel outcome that would be.
How could he say those words aloud?
Ruan Xingyao said, “I understand how you feel, and I appreciate your kindness. If you’re willing, I’ll come to Mingcheng tomorrow—give the puppy to me.”
From just now, Ruan Xingyao had already made up her mind: she wanted to take in these dogs.
Those still in the dog farm that hadn’t been sold yet, those that could still be found and recovered…
She would give them the best possible home.
Of course, this was Ruan Xingyao’s ideal plan.
She knew it was impossible.
Since exposing the industry chain on her livestream, she could already imagine how many people, in panic now and for a long time to come, would abandon or kill their pets.
That thought tormented Ruan Xingyao immensely.
She could not not expose the dog farm’s operation.
She also ached for the pets caught up in it.
Ruan Xingyao adjusted the camera, stood up, and made a deep bow to everyone in the livestream.
She pleaded sincerely, “According to the information the police have so far, this criminal network only exists in Mingcheng. I earnestly beg everyone outside of Mingcheng—please don’t harm your pets. For those in Mingcheng, if you have doubts about your pets, you can take them to the Mingcheng Police Department. Tomorrow, I will personally come to Mingcheng and inspect them one by one for you.”
As she spoke, Ruan Xingyao bowed deeply again. “Please, everyone—don’t harm these innocent creatures.”
That bow lasted for a full thirty seconds before she slowly straightened up.
Her eyes were red, filled with desperation and pleading.
“Eats Four Eggs a Day” said, “Streamer Starry, I’ll give the puppy to you.”
That might be the best arrangement for the little one.
Ruan Xingyao said softly, “Thank you.”
Perhaps it was the compassion shown by both Ruan Xingyao and “Eats Four Eggs a Day” toward the puppy that moved everyone watching.
The livestream chat, which had been filled with fear and anxiety, suddenly filled with messages:
【I’m in X City right now—I’ll wait for Streamer Starry to come and check.】
Ruan Xingyao was deeply touched.
She sniffled, suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes, and said, “Thank you, everyone.”
The connection with “Eats Four Eggs a Day” ended there.
After taking a moment to calm her emotions, Ruan Xingyao said, “At the start of the livestream, I promised to draw four lucky gift bags for everyone. Now, should we still continue with the draw?”
If the audience chose not to, she planned to end the stream right away and head to Mingcheng.
Although the call with “Eats Four Eggs a Day” had left everyone unsettled, most people still voted to continue with the lucky draw.
So Ruan Xingyao went ahead and announced the fourth gift bag.
Before long, someone won it—
A girl with the username “Second Pretty”.
When the connection went through, “Second Pretty” immediately held her husky up to the camera.
“Streamer Starry, please take a look. Can you check if my dog has a camera implanted? I’m also from Mingcheng, and one of my dog’s eyes isn’t very good.”
Only she knew how terrified she had been ever since the earlier revelations.
Luckily, she had won the gift bag draw.
Ruan Xingyao carefully examined the husky and said, “Don’t worry—it doesn’t have one. Its eye problem is just due to cataracts.”
The tension in “Second Pretty”’s body instantly melted away. She hugged her husky tightly and burst into tears.
“Wuuuu… I’ve raised it for seven years. I was so scared it might’ve had a camera implanted too… wuuuuuu…”
Ruan Xingyao let her cry herself out, comforted her a little more, and then ended the call.
She said, “That’s it for today’s livestream. I’m leaving for Mingcheng right now. After I coordinate with the police, I’ll let everyone know where to bring their pets.”
After the stream ended, Ruan Xingyao set off without delay.
She was able to move so decisively and quickly thanks to You Huan and Ruan Xingzhuo having already packed while she was livestreaming, Chen Yu having contacted the Mingcheng police, and the fact that Mingcheng is very close to Ningcheng — driving was the fastest option.
A little over two hours later, the four of them arrived at the dog farm.
The Mingcheng police had already sealed the place and taken the people inside to the station.
At that moment, aside from the investigating officers, there were only around a hundred dogs left in the farm.
The officer in charge of the case at the Mingcheng police station was named Jiang Xuan.
He came out to meet them as soon as Chen Yu drove into the farm.
“Expert Ruan, you must be tired from the trip,” Jiang Xuan said politely.
“So far we’ve only managed to remove the camera from one dog’s eye and use it to trace their network. But even so, it’s extremely difficult — we can’t completely stop the videos from spreading. Expert Ruan, can you help us remove more of the cameras?”
Jiang Xuan was at his wit’s end handling this case.
On the one hand, they had learned this was an international operation.
On the other hand, his superiors had already warned him: the animals involved must be handled exactly as Ruan Xingyao demanded — under no circumstances should they take the easy way out and harm the animals.
God only knew how much pressure he’d been under while waiting for Ruan Xingyao to arrive.
Ruan Xingyao replied, “Thanks for your cooperation, Captain Jiang. Please give me some time — I’ll go look them over first, and then we’ll decide what to do.”
