“This young lady, we’re very grateful for your live connection that helped us catch such a cruel animal abuser, but from here on, please leave the matter to our experts. Don’t make things worse!”
The speaker’s tone clearly carried disdain toward Ruan Xingyao.
In his eyes, people like her—who didn’t focus on real work and only wanted to stir up hype to become internet celebrities—were nothing good.
Although Ruan Xingyao had already faced plenty of suspicion and malice over the past few days, that didn’t mean she was willing to just swallow it.
She replied, “Whether I’m making trouble or not, you’ll only know after I try. But with you people dragging things out like this, there’s no way you’ll be able to take it away in less than four or five hours.”
One of the veterinary experts, hearing her words, also became displeased.
The way she said it, it was as if all of them were nothing but useless freeloaders.
Unable to hold back, he asked, “So according to you, you can get it to leave with us right away?”
Ruan Xingyao gave a confident-sounding “Mm,” with a touch of pride.
“Of course!” she said.
It was obvious that whether it was the veterinarians or the police, upon hearing Ruan Xingyao’s words, they all had the same thought: shameless boasting.
Even the livestream chat barrage was quickly flooded with insults toward her.
【I’ve had enough! Seriously enough! The streamer’s desire to steal the spotlight is way too obvious! Don’t tell me she’s claiming to be better than the experts!】
【This is ridiculous! The audience hypes you up and you really start thinking you’re someone important!】
【If you ask me, we should just let the streamer try! Then when she embarrasses herself, maybe she’ll finally pipe down!】
【Agreed!】
【Seconded!】
Ruan Xingyao ignored the comments and instead addressed the veterinarian holding the phone.
“Find the person among you with the best rapport with animals, and I’ll have it go with you immediately.”
The man still clearly didn’t believe her, and his tone grew impatient. “What, so if there’s no such person, you’ll have an excuse to say it’s our fault?”
Ruan Xingyao couldn’t be bothered to waste more words on him.
She simply spoke to the golden python:
“Don’t be afraid. These people won’t hurt you. Go with them—no one will abuse you again.”
The golden python flicked its tongue, hissing twice.
【Human, can I go with you?】
Ruan Xingyao: “Nope! I don’t have the means to take care of you!”
If she raised this golden python, she’d be heading straight to jail next.
“Hiss! Hiss hiss hiss hiss!”
【But I don’t know them! I’m scared!】
Ruan Xingyao felt a bit of a headache—turns out this golden python was a timid one.
After a few seconds of silence, she asked the veterinarians, “Can you tell us where you’re going to take it?”
Another expert answered Ruan Xingyao, “Given its current condition, we need to take it to the research institute for a check-up first. Once it’s recovered, if there’s nothing else wrong, it’ll most likely be sent to a zoo. If there are additional health issues, we’ll decide again then.”
Ruan Xingyao said to the golden python, “Don’t worry, the place they’re taking you will be good for your health.”
“Hiss! Hiss hiss hiss hiss!”
【Human! Then can you come visit me? Please?】
Without hesitation, Ruan Xingyao agreed, “Sure, once you’re at the zoo, I’ll come visit you.”
“Hiss! Hiss hiss!”
【Alright then! I’ll go with them!】
Ruan Xingyao observed the golden python’s mood, and once she was sure it wouldn’t attack anyone, she said to the others, “You can open the cage now and take it away.”
As if to cooperate with Ruan Xingyao’s words, the golden python even nodded, looking exceptionally well-behaved.
The crowd exchanged glances.
The same expert who had answered Ruan Xingyao’s question stepped forward and opened the cage himself.
The golden python slithered straight up his arm and coiled around it.
At first, some people held their breath, afraid the python might attack at any moment, but upon seeing it quietly coiled on the expert’s arm, they truly didn’t know how to react.
Wasn’t this… a bit too obedient?
Ruan Xingyao said, “Let it into your transport cage.”
Better to keep it secured—if it encountered something stimulating on the road, she wouldn’t be able to take responsibility.
The Burmese python obediently slithered into the cage as soon as it heard Ruan Xingyao’s voice.
This left everyone stunned yet again.
Even cats and dogs aren’t necessarily this well-behaved—could it be that this streamer actually has a special ability?
Ruan Xingyao didn’t care what they were thinking.
She said, “Alright, the rest is up to you now. I’ll end the call here.”
Without a moment’s hesitation, she hung up immediately.
Picking up the cup beside her, she took a sip of water before saying, “Now, let’s start today’s third live call.”
However, the chat was still caught up in the shock from the previous segment.
As she glanced at the barrage of rapidly scrolling comments, she finally spotted one in the gaps:
[Pick me! Pick me! Streamer, call me!]
Ruan Xingyao clicked to connect with the user whose ID was “Compressed Biscuit.”
When the camera came on, the other side revealed a chubby man in his mid-to-late twenties.
He had an honest, good-natured face, and when he smiled, two dimples appeared—an overall very likable look.
“Hello, Compressed Biscuit. What would you like to ask?” Ruan Xingyao inquired.
“Compressed Biscuit” said, “Streamer, I want to know if my Baozhu doesn’t like my girlfriend. Every time she comes to my place, he chews up her stuff.”
As he spoke, “Compressed Biscuit” brought Baozhu into view—a Doberman.
Ruan Xingyao looked at Baozhu and greeted him gently, “Hello, Baozhu!”
The Doberman wagged his tail and barked twice.
[Hello! Human!]
Ruan Xingyao asked, “Baozhu, can you tell me why you always chew things up?”
The Doberman tilted his head, as if trying to determine whether Ruan Xingyao really could communicate with him.
After several seconds, he suddenly jumped up.
“Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof woof woof!”
[Human! You can understand me? Really?]
“Woof woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof woof!”
[Human! Then tell my dad right now! He’s being cheated on! Those things his girlfriend brings over are intentionally given to her by a terrible person to upset him!]
Ruan Xingyao raised a hand to rub her forehead, her gaze toward “Compressed Biscuit” suddenly carrying a hint of sympathy.
“Compressed Biscuit” felt a chill under Ruan Xingyao’s gaze.
He opened his mouth and asked, “Streamer, what’s wrong? What did Baozhu say? Just tell me directly, I can handle it!”
Ruan Xingyao said, “Then I’ll be blunt—you’ve been cheated on!”
“Compressed Biscuit” did want her to be straightforward, but he hadn’t expected her to be this straightforward.
For a moment, his expression turned incredibly bitter.
“So… my intuition was right.”
