Finally—finally, his face actually had some presence in front of Ruan Xingyao.
At the very beginning, he had been chosen as Ruan Xingyao’s assistant precisely because he was the most good-looking among the candidates.
Their initial background research on her had even included one key detail—Ruan Xingyao had a weakness for handsome faces.
However, from the moment he started working as her assistant, he somehow managed to offend her completely on day one—a total disaster of a start.
As a result, his good looks had done absolutely nothing for him in her eyes.
But now—now that Ruan Xingyao finally acknowledged his looks, Chen Yu couldn’t stop the excitement bubbling inside him.
Still, no matter how thrilled he was inside, he kept his expression cold and intimidating on the surface.
Chen Yu turned to the man and said sternly,
“Our public notice clearly lists the relevant laws. You’re bold, I’ll give you that—coming here to challenge the police.”
The man was startled by his words; his eyes darted nervously, obviously guilty.
He shouted again, his voice cracking, “Cut the crap! Just give me the money!”
Ruan Xingyao replied calmly, “Sorry, but we can’t do that.”
The man’s expression immediately twisted with rage.
He slammed his hand on the table, looking ready to lunge across it and hit Ruan Xingyao.
In an instant, Chen Yu and Yi Wenxue stepped in—one on the left, one on the right—blocking her.
The two men exuded an imposing aura, and the cold pressure in their eyes was enough to make the man, who just seconds ago had looked ready to attack, instantly cower.
He pulled his hand back and even took a few steps away.
Ruan Xingyao patted Chen Yu and Yi Wenxue on the shoulders, signaling them to step aside.
She said, “Sir, if you want to steal someone’s dog and use it to scam money, and you’re that eager to eat state food, we can make that happen.”
As she spoke, Ruan Xingyao gave Chen Yu a meaningful look.
Chen Yu immediately called over the nearby police officers who were maintaining order.
The man panicked completely.
He tried to slip away, not even bothering to take the Labrador with him.
But just as he lifted his foot to run, two officers were already pressing down on his shoulders.
Ruan Xingyao said coldly, “With guts that small, you still dare try extortion? You’re really not much, are you?”
The man glanced around frantically and yelled,
“You’re slandering me! So what if you don’t buy it! How can you accuse me of stealing this dog!”
Ruan Xingyao countered, “Then how can you claim this dog is worth two hundred thousand?”
The man, clearly flustered, snapped back, “Because I said so! It just is worth two hundred thousand!”
Ruan Xingyao sneered and said, “Because you looked it up online, didn’t you? You found out that training a guide dog costs about two hundred thousand—and thought you could come here and get that money out of me.”
Hearing that, the man’s panic deepened, his expression growing even more uneasy.
He pretended not to understand and kept shouting at Ruan Xingyao, his voice hoarse, “What guide dog! I don’t know what you’re talking about! This is not a guide dog at all!”
Ruan Xingyao made an “oh” sound. “Not a guide dog, huh? A normal Labrador is only worth a few thousand yuan, and you’re asking for two hundred thousand out of nowhere — if that’s not extortion, what is?”
The implication of Ruan Xingyao’s words was clear to the man: he was definitely going to prison.
He panicked even more and yelled, “I think you’re the liars!”
He started shouting to the people queued outside the safety line, “Everyone look! The police are lying! They’re treating ordinary people like monkeys!”
His unreasonable, illogical ranting completely exhausted Ruan Xingyao’s patience.
She slammed the table, her voice rising a notch. “Shut up! I’ll make you understand right now!”
She poked Chen Yu and told him to bring the Labrador up onto the table, then translated the dog’s “words” to everyone, speaking each sentence distinctly.
【I want to go back to find my mom! My mom will be miserable without me! She can’t see — I have to help her!】
【Am I going to be sold? What about my mom? Who will save me! I need to go back to help my mom!】
After Ruan Xingyao’s translation, anyone who still doubted was convinced — this was a guide dog.
The chat filled with curses.
【What kind of person is this! Even stealing a guide dog! Such a person doesn’t deserve to be human!】
【Worse than pigs and dogs! Lock this bastard up now!】
【Poor little dog — even after being pulled out like this, its emotions are still so steady, it just sits quietly by that scumbag. If it were me, I’d bite that rotten person to death!】
【No need to be too angry. This guide dog is already in Streamer Starry’s hands — she’ll certainly send it back.】
【Exactly — that idiot clearly didn’t know how powerful our Streamer Starry is. He practically delivered the case to her himself; it’s a joke straight from hell!】
Ruan Xingyao ignored the flood of comments on the screen — her gaze remained fixed on the man.
She said coldly, “Aside from stealing a guide dog, you really do have quite a few sins on you, don’t you?”
At those words, the man’s expression shifted — no longer just panic, but genuine fear.
He swallowed hard and stammered, “W–What nonsense are you spouting? I’m a law-abiding citizen!”
Ruan Xingyao let out a sharp, mocking laugh. “Law-abiding? You? Don’t make me laugh.”
Her tone of ridicule provoked the man further — enough that he forgot entirely that he was still under the grip of two police officers.
He began thrashing violently, trying to lunge toward Ruan Xingyao.
But his thin, scrawny frame was no match for two well-trained officers.
After only a few seconds of struggling, he was pinned firmly to the ground, completely immobile.
Ruan Xingyao said, “Let me count your crimes, then. You’re the uncle of this guide dog’s owner. You’ve been stealing and cheating since you were a kid, and you got kicked out of the family for it.
Now, your sister and brother-in-law are dead, leaving behind only a blind daughter in this world. You decided that made you important again, so you kept showing up at her house every few days to take whatever you wanted.
The girl, blind and kind-hearted, didn’t hold it against you — because you’re the only family she has left. And you mistook her tolerance for weakness, got bolder and bolder.
When you heard we were buying dogs, you drugged her, sent her to the hospital in critical condition, and while she was there, you stole her guide dog — planning to sell it to us for money.
Honestly? For someone this ugly, you sure dream beautifully.”
From the moment Ruan Xingyao mentioned his petty thefts, the man’s expression had already begun to change.
Now, as she exposed every one of his actions in front of everyone, the fear in his eyes turned into sheer terror.
“Who… who are you? How do you know all that? You’re a monster! You’re a monster!” the man screamed, trembling all over in fright.
