Chapter 112: Live Broadcast Anecdotes Part 2 (Extra 3)
The other viewers in the livestream could only hear a series of howling dog barks, but to Lin Jiangye’s ears, it sounded like a cry for freedom.
This immediately aroused his curiosity—especially since the dog kept shouting that it wasn’t this person’s dog. What exactly was going on?
A woman appeared in the camera. She looked exhausted, sitting on the sofa and panting slightly, her tone full of helplessness and confusion.
“Hello, Advisor Lin. I want to know what my dog is saying. It used to be very well-behaved, but after it accidentally got lost a few days ago and we found it again, it’s been barking at me nonstop and keeps trying to run outside.”
The woman looked close to collapsing. She was pregnant, and her mental state had already been fragile. Now she seemed even more tired.
Through the camera, people couldn’t clearly see her pregnant belly, but the dark circles under her eyes were obvious.
Many viewers started guessing:
[Did it meet a dog it likes outside?]
[Or like the last person—maybe there’s a thief in the house?]
The woman had also seen what happened to Huang Ye, but after thinking carefully she shook her head.
“That’s impossible. We’re just ordinary people, and there’s nothing valuable in the house.”
However, at that moment a comment slowly floated across the screen:
[Someone in the house isn’t necessarily a thief stealing things. It could be someone stealing a person.]
Lin Jiangye, who had just been about to explain, was almost choked by that comment. Seeing the woman’s face suddenly turn pale, he hurriedly spoke up.
“That’s not the reason! Don’t scare a pregnant woman like that!”
Once the viewers realized she was pregnant, many immediately deleted their more frightening guesses.
Scaring someone was one thing, but frightening a pregnant woman into feeling unwell would be a serious problem.
After hearing Lin Jiangye’s denial, the pregnant woman calmed down slightly.
Lin Jiangye pointed at the yellow village dog sitting at the edge of the camera and asked curiously:
“I want to know—when you found this dog again, where exactly did you find it?”
The pregnant woman didn’t understand why he was asking, but she answered obediently.
“In a park about two kilometers from my home. Why?”
The young man sighed. What he said next left her stunned.
“That’s because it isn’t your dog at all. It’s been shouting that it’s not the dog you raised. I think it’s probably a stray from that park—you brought the wrong dog home.”
The wrong dog.
The pregnant woman had never expected to hear such words.
If she had mistaken the dog, then where was her real dog?
It had already been three days since she brought this dog home. Including the time spent searching earlier, that meant her dog had been starving outside for five whole days.
Lin Jiangye’s words hit her so hard that she almost fainted.
Fortunately, someone else was beside her. Seeing her sister clutch her forehead and nearly collapse, the younger sister rushed forward and held her.
“Sis! What’s wrong?!”
She had only gone to cut some fruit. In just a moment everything had suddenly turned like this.
The pregnant woman took a heavy breath, gripping her sister’s arm tightly as she forced herself to stay conscious.
“Advisor Lin… are you sure what you said is true?”
In fact, these past few days she had already felt a faint suspicion that this dog might not be hers. After raising her dog for so many years, her instincts were sharper than her eyes.
But the dog’s appearance looked too similar, which had confused her judgment.
As soon as she finished speaking, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Perhaps after hearing Lin Jiangye’s words, the yellow dog finally stopped barking. It quietly sat beside the pregnant woman, occasionally glancing at her secretly.
[Woof just wants to go home… Woof isn’t your dog. If you cry it’s not Woof’s fault…]
The yellow dog felt a little guilty. It could tell that the woman wasn’t feeling well, but… but that had nothing to do with it!
“This really isn’t your fault. They simply mistook the dog. But since she’s pregnant, could you help with something?” Lin Jiangye spoke gently to the yellow dog through the camera.
The dog hesitated. But after thinking about the delicious food the woman had given it these past few days, and glancing at her swollen belly, it finally whimpered and nodded in agreement.
“Do you still want to find your dog?” Lin Jiangye asked.
The pregnant woman and her sister immediately nodded repeatedly. They quickly wiped away their tears and prepared to go outside.
“Baobao grew up with me and my sister. He came to our home when he was still a tiny puppy. Now it’s been almost ten years…”
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face again.
Her younger sister also felt very upset and quietly explained to Lin Jiangye what had happened when the dog disappeared.
“That day I accompanied my sister to her prenatal checkup. Only my brother-in-law was at home. He had just finished a night shift and fell asleep as soon as he got home. When he woke up, the door was open and Baobao was gone.”
Although Baobao was just a village dog, he was extremely smart. Not only could he open doors, he even knew how to pick up packages by himself.
So at first nobody thought much about it—they assumed he had gone to collect a delivery.
But when the two women returned from the hospital that evening and still couldn’t find him, they realized something was wrong.
“Our neighborhood is an old community with no surveillance cameras. The delivery station does have cameras, but Baobao never appeared there. That means he never went to pick up a package.”
Everyone suddenly realized something strange.
If Baobao hadn’t gone to pick up a package, why did he go out that day?
Especially since the pregnant woman had checked her phone that day—there were no deliveries at all.
“So actually, you don’t know where your dog disappeared, right?” Lin Jiangye asked.
The younger sister nodded sadly, tears in her eyes.
“That’s right. We searched everywhere nearby, expanding the area little by little, until we reached the park two kilometers away… and that’s where we found this dog.”
The two women drove back to that park with the yellow dog.
As soon as the dog returned to its familiar territory, it looked ready to run away.
Lin Jiangye quickly reminded it, “You promised to help.”
The dog froze for a moment, then quietly turned back and barked loudly toward the surroundings.
Soon, stray dogs of different sizes and colors emerged from all corners. The moment they saw the yellow dog, they excitedly rushed toward it.
[Boss! Boss! Where have you been lately? We missed you so much QAQ]
[We thought you abandoned us! Wuwuwu QAQ]
[Boss! Hungry! Food!]
Listening to the chorus of whining dog voices, Lin Jiangye briefly explained to the viewers.
“This dog is probably the leader of this stray pack. If your dog passed through this area, the other dogs might have seen it. Even if they didn’t, they can help search for it—but you’ll need to provide some food as payment.”
The pregnant woman nodded excitedly.
“That’s fine! I have money!”
It was only a little food. When she offered a reward for Baobao earlier, she had promised ten thousand yuan. Compared to that, food was nothing.
After receiving her agreement, Lin Jiangye relayed the request to the stray dogs. With the yellow dog also explaining beside him, the dogs quickly began thinking about whether they had seen a dog that looked similar to their leader.
Soon one small curly-haired dog barked, saying it seemed to have seen one a few days ago.
[Dog thought it was Boss at first, but after getting close, it realized it wasn’t the same.]
There was a clue!
Lin Jiangye asked the pregnant woman to point the camera at the little curly dog and continued questioning it about where it had seen the dog.
[A human carried it down from a metal box!]
When Lin Jiangye heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong. In a dog’s eyes, a “metal box” meant a car. A human carrying a dog down from a car… the scene reminded him of the trucks used by dog thieves he had encountered before.
“Do you know where they went afterward?”
The little dog nodded obediently, barked twice toward the camera, and then ran toward a certain direction.
The pregnant woman and her sister hadn’t even realized what was happening when they heard Lin Jiangye say, “Follow it. It seems like it has seen your dog.”
Without hesitation, the two followed the little dog from the park all the way into an alley.
After passing through the alley, the scene in front of them made both women look confused.
“Isn’t this your in-laws’ house, sis?” The younger sister felt her heart drop.
Meanwhile the curly-haired dog stood at the entrance of the residential building, barking loudly.
[Here! Here! Dog saw it go in here!]
After translating the dog’s words, Lin Jiangye noticed that both women’s expressions had turned strange.
“You know this place?”
The pregnant woman’s face was pale, her pupils trembling slightly. Her lips moved, but she couldn’t say a word.
“Maybe the dog didn’t necessarily see your dog. Yellow village dogs are everywhere,” Lin Jiangye tried to comfort her gently, but her expression remained terrible.
She took out a key and opened the building door in front of the camera. Step by step, she walked up to the third floor.
Sensing that the woman’s emotions were unstable, even the livestream chat grew quieter.
Then everyone watched as she unlocked the door to apartment 301 and walked inside.
There was no one at home, which made it convenient for the two sisters to search around for clues.
In the end, they found something.
But it was only a dog’s head.
And it was inside the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.
The nightmare became reality. The moment the pregnant woman saw the dog’s head, she fainted instantly.
Her younger sister almost collapsed as well, but fortunately she managed to hold herself together.
“Advisor Lin! Please help call 120! Our location is…”
Within less than a minute, an ambulance arrived downstairs and quickly came up to the third floor, taking the two sisters away.
Once they were taken to the ambulance, the livestream connection naturally ended.
Although neither woman had clearly explained what had happened, the viewers had already guessed enough from what they saw.
The pregnant woman had the key, meaning she was very close to the owner of that apartment. And someone so close had secretly taken away her dog of ten years—killed it and eaten it.
[Wait… are people starving nowadays? Why steal a dog just to eat it?]
[Shouldn’t we be asking what relationship that house owner has with the pregnant woman???]
[I heard the younger sister say something earlier—it seemed to be the pregnant woman’s in-laws’ house.]
[What the hell? In-laws? So her husband’s parents stole and ate her dog???]
These days, situations like this weren’t rare. Because of pregnancy or marriage, some people demanded that pets be given away or abandoned.
To them, animals were just animals. Even if the pet had accompanied their partner for many years, it was still just an animal.
Something that could be discarded at any time.
Others experienced something even worse—raising a beloved pet for years, only to return home one day and find it cooked into a dish by their parents or relatives.
[You talk to them about feelings, and they laugh at you for projecting emotions onto an animal.]
This comment resonated with many viewers.
Lin Jiangye quietly watched the comment drift past, his heart feeling heavy.
Thinking about it, if he publicly said he had recognized a Northeast tiger as his mother, many people online would probably call him crazy.
He took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.
Then he opened the viewer’s profile and left his contact information, hoping the woman would reply after she woke up.
Stealing someone’s dog and eating it could be treated as property theft. Although village dogs weren’t expensive, this dog had been raised for ten years. Even estimating one thousand yuan per year, it would still amount to ten thousand.
If the pregnant woman truly wanted to sue, it wasn’t impossible to send those people to jail.
Of course, that would only happen if she was willing to completely break with that side of the family for the sake of her dog.
Lin Jiangye lowered his eyes.
In his view, whether they were in-laws or not didn’t matter. If someone dared to steal and eat his dog, he would not only send them to prison—he would destroy everything they had.
Seeing that viewers were still discussing the incident, Lin Jiangye took the initiative to change the topic.
“Alright. We’ll follow up on the second viewer’s situation later. Now let’s invite the third viewer.”
He randomly selected another person.
This time, the animal that appeared shocked everyone.
Two chubby Bengal tiger cubs.
“Advisor Lin! When are you coming to Qiang Province again? The tiger cubs have grown up!”
Lin Jiangye: !!!
Tigers! Bengal tigers! The wild Bengal tiger cubs he personally sent to the forestry bureau had grown up!
Looking at the two tiger cubs on the screen, clumsily roaring and tumbling around, Lin Jiangye’s originally serious face melted instantly like butter.
Not only him—the viewers in the livestream were also collectively melted by the cuteness.
[Milk! Milk! We want milk!!!]
At this stage, the cubs were still busy drinking milk like babies.
Seeing the human who usually fed them staring only at the glowing rectangle in front of him, the cubs immediately became unhappy.
Taking advantage of the staff member holding the phone, one of the cubs suddenly pounced forward.
With a loud smack, the phone fell heavily to the ground and the entire screen shattered.
“Ahhhh my phone!” The staff member’s scream was no longer visible to Lin Jiangye.
The moment the screen broke, the connection ended.
The young man stared blankly at the black screen, completely stunned.
His tiger cubs… were gone.
“Ahem… haha… well, let’s move on to the next one.”
The fourth viewer was from the southern provinces. The moment she realized she had been selected, she let out a sharp scream that scared the cat in her arms until its fur stood up.
Her problem was actually simple—she just wanted to know why her cat suddenly refused to eat its food.
After chatting with the black cat for a moment, Lin Jiangye immediately discovered the reason.
“The food has become damp. The cat doesn’t want to eat it.”
The woman suddenly understood and covered her chest.
“Oh! I forgot—it’s the humid season again!”
During the humid season, even clothes became damp indoors. Naturally, cat food would also absorb moisture.
Who liked eating soggy food?
Even she wouldn’t eat soft, stale potato chips.
“Thank you, Advisor Lin! I’m going to buy a dehumidifier right now!”
The fifth viewer owned a dog and wanted to know why the dog had been depressed recently.
After talking for a while, they discovered the reason.
The golden retriever had been bullied badly by the viewer’s nephew. Under such circumstances, how could the dog possibly stay energetic?
The explanation made the viewer furious. She looked ready to roll up her sleeves and beat the nephew immediately.
Just like that, Lin Jiangye livestreamed for three to four hours, connecting with several viewers.
Some pets had problems, others were stray animals people were feeding. Every animal had a different issue.
Meanwhile, the trending topics that day were quite interesting.
First it was news about Huang Ye’s house being infiltrated by a stalker fan.
Then came the story of a pregnant woman whose in-laws secretly killed and ate her dog of ten years.
Later that evening, another piece of news appeared on the Huinan City broadcast.
A pregnant woman had smashed up her in-laws’ entire house.
At the same time, the contact information Lin Jiangye left for the pregnant woman finally received a reply.
It was her younger sister.
“My sister is the one from the livestream. She’s demanding a divorce now.”
After sending the message, the young woman nervously stared at the chat window. She wondered how Advisor Lin would react to her sister’s decision.
Would he think, like many others, that her sister was overreacting?
Or would he support her?
Soon, a reply appeared.
“Is there anything I can help with? I know quite a few lawyers.”
The meaning was clear—if they wanted to sue, he could provide capable lawyers.
And where did those lawyers come from?
Of course—from asking Shang Fuyan.
The woman burst into tears again, but this time she was smiling.
She knew Advisor Lin understood how important Baobao was to them.
“When my sister woke up, she immediately confronted her husband and asked how the door had been opened that day. She said if he didn’t answer, she would call the police.”
At this point, the woman mentioned another case Lin Jiangye had once encountered.
They had also heard about the truck used by dog thieves. When they learned that those thieves could only be punished under theft charges, the two sisters had felt furious.
But there were no specific laws addressing such cases.
“At that time, we calculated how much money we had spent on Baobao over the years. It came to fifty or sixty thousand. We even joked that if someone stole our dog, they should go to prison for it.”
Her eyes reddened again.
At the time they were only joking.
No one expected such a thing would actually happen to them.
On the other side of the phone, Lin Jiangye took a deep breath to steady his emotions.
“So… why did they do it?”
“Because they said having a dog during pregnancy isn’t hygienic! Because they said once a new baby comes, the family shouldn’t raise cats or dogs!” The woman’s voice suddenly became emotional.
Her sister had frozen at the door because the in-laws had once joked about eating Baobao.
Back then, her sister thought it was only a joke.
Even though she felt uncomfortable, she didn’t argue.
“And we never thought… never thought…” The woman broke down crying.
Under pressure, the husband finally confessed.
He had taken the dog himself and sent it to his parents.
And he had also eaten the meat.
After hearing this, the pregnant woman fainted again.
When she woke up the second time, her family immediately rushed to the husband’s house, smashed everything as revenge for Baobao, and demanded a divorce.
“If my sister weren’t already eight months pregnant…” the woman said painfully.
At eight months, terminating the pregnancy was almost impossible. Her sister was now struggling with what to do about the child.
But perhaps it didn’t matter.
If necessary, she could simply raise the child alone without the father.
Lin Jiangye sighed.
Then he suddenly remembered something.
“Can you give me the address? Maybe I can help you in another way.”
Regardless of what they chose, the pregnant woman’s emotional state was very dangerous.
Lin Jiangye thought about his newly awakened ability.
Perhaps he could summon Baobao’s spirit and let it accompany the pregnant woman for a while.
The woman’s crying abruptly stopped.
Her wet eyes blinked in confusion.
“What… do you mean?”
Her heart was beating wildly, as if it might burst out of her chest.
Lin Jiangye pressed his lips together but didn’t explain the final outcome.
System 001 had only said he could summon animal spirits.
Based on his experience in another world, the summoning had to be done near where the animal died, and it had to be recent.
But how exactly the ability worked in this world was still unclear.
He had tried using it at home earlier, but nothing appeared.
Still, he wanted to help the two sisters—and test the new ability.
If it worked like in the other world, Baobao’s spirit could comfort the pregnant woman and accompany her for several days.
After staring at the screen for a long time, the woman finally sent an address.
Lin Jiangye glanced at it.
It wasn’t very far—only about three hours by car.
When Shang Fuyan learned he planned to go out, he curiously asked how he intended to comfort the victim.
Leaning against the bedside with one hand, Lin Jiangye slid his fingers into the man’s hair and lowered his soft lips beside his ear.
Then he revealed a new secret.
“I’m going to summon Baobao’s spirit. If it works, it can stay with its owner for seven days.”
The length of time depended on how much love the owner had for the pet—sometimes only an hour, sometimes up to seven days.
If the sisters truly loved Baobao that much, the dog’s spirit could appear again and remain for several days.
Those few days would be enough for them to say goodbye properly.
