【Is that allowed? I want to be the pretty lady’s dog too!】
【Miss! Miss! Look at me! I’m super obedient! I don’t eat much, I don’t run around, and I can even make bad guys kneel and beg for mercy!】
【Miss! Miss! I eat even less! I’m super, super clever!】
Ruan Xingyao couldn’t help but be overwhelmed—both by how adorable and how noisy these little ones were.
Especially since Ruan Xingzhuo and You Huan were right behind her, leading Baiyi along.
The moment Baiyi heard these mutts daring to compete for its “mama,” it immediately ran up to Ruan Xingyao’s feet, barking furiously at her.
“Werwerwer! Werwerwer!”
【Stinky Xingxing! I knew it! You’ve got other dogs out there!】
“Werwerwer! Werwerwer!”
【You’ve gone too far! You actually have so many dogs!】
“Werwerwer! Werwerwer!”
【Dog is heartbroken! Dog wants to go find Mom!】
“Werwerwer! Werwerwer!”
【Mom only has one dog! Dog is Mom’s only one! Only Mom truly cares about dog!】
Ruan Xingyao rubbed her temples helplessly—there was really no reasoning with him when Baiyi got into one of these moods.
What could she do?
She had no choice but to coax this little tyrant first.
Ruan Xingyao said, “Baiyi, you’re my one and only baby. The others are just my coworkers—only you are my family!”
Even she couldn’t help but mutter inwardly after saying that: Wow, I really sound like a heartless flirt.
Baiyi whimpered indignantly, “Werwerwer! Werwerwer!”
【You said it yourself! Not me!】
“Werwerwer! Werwerwer!”
【If you lie to me, I’m going to find Mom!】
Ruan Xingyao sighed.
This little brat really had her wrapped around his paw with that one threat.
She said, “Don’t worry, I’d never lie to my sweet Baiyi baby!”
Only then did Baiyi finally calm down, barking proudly, “Werwerwer! Werwerwer!”
【I knew it! My stinky Xingxing already has me, her precious darling—why would she ever look at other dogs!】
Then it strutted around in front of the other dogs, flaunting itself arrogantly.
That smug, triumphant look was almost unbearable to watch.
At least Ruan Xingyao could finally breathe a sigh of relief—the little troublemaker had been appeased.
But her problems were far from over.
【The lady was just comforting us, wasn’t she? I know… we’re all just abandoned dogs. Before long, we’ll turn into strays, facing the fate of being poisoned to death.】
【Even if we’re lucky and don’t get poisoned, we’ll probably have our legs broken, our spines crushed, and end up as crippled little dogs.】
【But we won’t misbehave or cause trouble. We’ll hide quietly so we don’t scare anyone.】
【It’s just… so sad. I really thought we were the lucky ones. If I’d known it would end like this, I’d rather have been killed by my owner back then.】
These melancholy, manipulative lines came from a group of dogs—specifically, the Border Collies, the geniuses of the dog world.
Already naturally smart, and now enhanced by Ruan Xingyao and Yi Wenxue’s spiritual power, these Border Collie “professors” had become absolute masters at tugging on heartstrings.
Hearing the thoughts of those Border Collie “professors,” along with the chorus of little dogs echoing them like backup singers, Ruan Xingyao felt her head was about to split in two.
At that moment, one thought dominated her mind—
She really missed her Seventeenth Senior Brother.
Ugh… if Seventeenth Senior Brother were here, he’d have already released his spiritual pressure and made these pups behave.
Sure, Ruan Xingyao could do that too, but… she was soft-hearted.
These little dogs had all been through life-and-death situations.
Even though they were perfectly healthy now, she still couldn’t help but feel sorry for them.
They had just arrived in an unfamiliar place, completely unsure of their future—how could she bear to scare them?
Still, soft-hearted or not, Ruan Xingyao quietly released a hint of her spiritual pressure, enough to draw all the puppies’ attention to her.
She cleared her throat and said,
“Let me introduce myself. I’m Ruan Xingyao—you can all call me Xingxing. From now on, I’ll be your trainer. I’m going to train you into an outstanding canine squad, and in the future, each and every one of you will become a little hero who accomplishes great deeds!”
The moment she said that, Xie Lin and the others all turned to look at her in unison.
Chen Yu couldn’t help but whisper beside her ear,
“Xingxing, aren’t you kinda… overselling it?”
Ruan Xingyao shot him a glare and snapped,
“If you don’t understand, then shut up!”
The squad she was going to train would definitely be the best of the best—police dogs among police dogs, elites among elites.
How could Chen Yu possibly comprehend the value of that?
Chastened, Chen Yu immediately mimed zipping his lips shut.
He stayed quiet—anything, as long as Ruan Xingyao didn’t get angry.
Of course, Ruan Xingyao wasn’t actually angry.
She went right back to “painting her grand vision,” delivering an impassioned speech to the dogs.
Then she said,
“Now! Everyone, on my command—bark once!”
And then something astounding happened.
Every single dog present—including Baiyi—barked together, perfectly in sync:
“WOOF!”
Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
He turned to stare at Ruan Xingyao.
“That’s… incredible,” he muttered.
It wasn’t that he doubted her, but still—these dogs had only just been gathered together for their first official meeting, and they could already pull that off?
Chen Yu suddenly found himself believing what she said.
Maybe she really could train a team of super police dogs!
Just as he was thinking that, his phone rang.
He took it out and saw the caller ID—Jiang Zhen.
His instincts told him Jiang Zhen’s call probably had something to do with these dogs.
He looked toward Ruan Xingyao, just in time to meet her questioning gaze.
Chen Yu said, “It’s from the higher-up. I’ll just take it here.”
Ruan Xingyao nodded.
After all, everyone here was already one of their own.
Chen Yu answered the call but didn’t put it on speaker.
Instead, he leaned slightly closer to Ruan Xingyao so she could clearly hear the voice coming from his phone.
As expected, Jiang Zhen’s voice came through:
“Xiao Chen, you and Comrade Xiao Ruan have already arrived at the police dog training base, right? How’s it going? Did Comrade Xiao Ruan mention when these police dogs will be fully trained?”
Chen Yu replied, “Expert Ruan is currently holding a meeting with the dogs. She hasn’t said yet how long the training will take.”
Ruan Xingyao frowned, staring speechlessly at Chen Yu.
Was he… helping her stall for time?
Jiang Zhen seemed momentarily struck silent—perhaps imagining the scene of Ruan Xingyao literally “holding a meeting” with a bunch of dogs.
After a long pause, he finally said,
“Xiao Chen, you know the situation. That last livestream by Comrade Xiao Ruan caused a nationwide sensation. Now the entire country’s police departments know she’s training a special police dog squad, and they’re all saying Ningcheng Police can’t have them all to themselves. Quite a few departments have already submitted official requests to higher authorities, asking that once Comrade Xiao Ruan’s training is complete, a few of the dogs be allocated to them.
“These requests have even reached the central office. See if you can get a definite answer from Comrade Xiao Ruan, so I’ll know how to respond.”
