The woman clutched her shoes as if they were ironclad proof, her face brimming with smug satisfaction.
She was now thankful she hadn't thrown them away.
If she had, she would've lost a lot of money.
She believed that once she presented the shoes, the cat's owner would have to compensate her.
And when that time came, she'd name whatever amount she pleased.
Fang Ping's tail curled slightly as he looked at the self-satisfied woman.
Evidence?
I've got some too.
With that thought, he turned away from the woman and looked toward the staff member surnamed Li, who was secretly filming.
It was the same staffer in charge of shooting him today.
Fang Ping remembered—last time he tricked this woman, this very staff member was filming too.
Which meant his camera definitely had footage of that incident.
The video could easily prove his innocence.
After all, he hadn't done anything—he just stood there for a bit.
What really happened was the woman tried to kick him, he dodged,
and then she stepped in it.
Even if his camera didn't catch it, the Production Crew surely had the footage.
Fang Ping didn't care how wildly the woman twisted the story—
once the video came out, she wouldn't be able to frame him.
In fact, the more lies she made up now, the harder she'd be slapped in the face later.
In the Live Streaming Room, the viewers noticed Fang Ping's gaze.
...
"Is Lord looking straight at the camera?"
"Is Lord asking us for help?"
"I can prove it! I'm going to help Lord!"
"Me too! I saw it all!"
"No wait—Lord can't see us. He's looking at the staff filming."
"Oh! I get it now. Lord wants the cameraman to step in!"
"Lord is so smart. That day, it wasn't just this woman—there were staff there too!"
"Exactly. Lord knows the footage can clear his name. It's time for the cameraman to act."
...
At that moment, the staff member surnamed Li finally understood what Fang Ping was trying to say.
Fang Ping had been staring at him the whole time, unwavering.
Even if he were slow-witted, he'd get it eventually.
Lord was asking him for help—to stand up and speak the truth.
The staffer actually liked Lord a lot.
This cat had brought him countless laughs during the show's filming.
He'd never seen a cat quite like this one—like it had achieved enlightenment.
So he had no reason to refuse Lord's request.
Sure, it might be a bit against the Production Crew's rules,
but he figured they'd understand.
Worst case?
Dock his pay.
He didn't mind defending Lord—because truthfully, Lord had done nothing that day.
The only thing he did was block the woman's view.
And that certainly wasn't a reason to pay for anything.
In fact, the woman had clearly disliked and even hated cats. He had seen that firsthand.
It was rare to meet someone with such obvious animosity toward animals.
Unaware that there were more than just one witness on the bus,
the woman kept adding fuel to the fire.
"I'm not falsely accusing this cat," she insisted.
"He was definitely trying to get revenge on me."
"Every single word I've said is true—go ahead and verify it over time."
She put on a great act—like a total victim.
"These pets really need more discipline nowadays."
"Seriously, they shouldn't be pooping in the streets."
"If this is true, I support asking for compensation."
"Same here."
...
Slowly, the passengers on the bus began leaning toward her side.
"Hold on!"
"Everything she said is a lie!"
"Don't believe her!"
The staff member surnamed Li finally stepped forward.
"And who are you?"
The woman didn't expect another man to speak up after she'd just shut one down.
What was going on today?
Why were there so many repeat passengers?
The staff member surnamed Li pulled out the hidden camera.
"I'm a staff member with the Pet Reality Show."
"This cat is currently participating in the live broadcast.
Our camera crew is with him at all times—even on the day in question."
"His name is Lord.
Anyone can check the Pet Reality Show Live Streaming Room to see the footage.
What happened that day wasn't just seen by me—millions of viewers saw it too."
"You don't have to like cats, but don't resort to lies.
Don't you feel any guilt saying all this nonsense?"
"You want to slander someone for money?
Then let me be clear—you picked the wrong target."
"Both I and all the viewers can prove Lord did nothing wrong.
Everything was your own carelessness."
...
As soon as the staff member surnamed Li revealed his identity,
he righteously defended Fang Ping.
The woman's face turned pale.
She had assumed this was just a regular cat.
She had no idea the cat was part of a show.
Which meant…
She was being live-streamed too.
Everything she said, every move she made—
was being watched by countless viewers.
Her face turned from white to green, then back to white.
At that moment, her phone rang.
She glanced at it and picked up.
"Manager!"
Clearly, it was her supervisor calling.
"What on earth are you doing? Have you completely lost your mind?"
"In broad daylight, you're out here slandering others—slandering a cat?"
"Do you know how famous that cat is right now?"
"I'm done talking. As of this moment, you're fired."
"And don't you dare mention our company's name—
or you'll be in even more trouble."
The call ended with furious shouting before she was officially terminated.
A woman like that was a liability—
no company wanted her around.
The woman's face changed again.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Just like that…
She had lost her job?
Her position had paid well—nearly 20,000 yuan a month.
And now it was gone.
All because she hated cats.
All because of her greed.
All because of her lies.
She had just bought a new apartment.
She still had a mortgage to pay—what now?
Regret filled her heart,
but in this world, there is no such thing as a "regret pill."
And it wasn't over yet.
The other passengers on the bus, after seeing the Pet Reality Show stream on their phones,
began to scold the woman harshly.
After all, when millions of viewers were calling her out,
it was clear that everything she had said was a lie.
"What's wrong with you, woman?"
"If you don't like cats, just say so."
"And you thought you could fool us too?"
"You just picked on the cat because it can't talk, right?"
"You're evil, plain and simple."
...
The entire bus was filled with the sound of people criticizing her.
Zhou Chenchen hugged her Lord but didn't speak up.
She already understood the full story.
This woman had fabricated everything.
Lord hadn't done anything to her.
Fang Ping tugged at his ear and flicked his tail.
At this point, there was only a sentence on his mind:
Delicious satisfaction!
