Chapter 1
The new zookeeper put the tourists into the enclosure and forced the pandas to take photos with them.
This caused stress to the pandas, and one of them bit a tourist to death.
My dad, who was the curator, testified in court and provided false evidence to shift the blame onto me.
Due to lack of evidence, I was released as innocent.
My selfless dad announced that he would take the place of the law and fired me.
The family of the deceased was filled with grief and anger, and they locked me and six starving Tibetan Mastiffs together.
In the end, I was bitten to death by them.
However, my dad forgave those who killed me.
"An eye for an eye. She deserved it. It’s not your fault."
When I opened my eyes, I found myself back on the day when the new zookeeper was on duty.
——
Outside the panda enclosure, a panda was chasing after a man.
The man's leg was bitten and he couldn’t run fast. Soon, he fell down and could only crawl forward in embarrassment.
On the other side, another man was lying in a pool of blood, unconscious.
"Ahhhh, Lilian, what should I do? I can’t stand..."
Zookeeper Ivy Brown squatted on the ground with weak legs, crying.
I ran over quickly, just like in my previous life, and she grabbed onto my legs.
"Don't go in, Lilian. Eva is going crazy right now. If you go in, you will definitely die!"
Without hesitation, I kicked her chin and then grabbed the small basket filled with food and ran into the enclosure.
In my previous life, Ivy grabbed onto my legs and covered my eyes so that I couldn't see the true situation of the panda. In the end, I missed the best opportunity to save the person, and the tourist was bitten to death.
Later, when we were held accountable, she slapped herself in front of my father.
Crying, she said, “It's all my fault. If my legs weren't weak, I could have saved the person in time.”
But my dad comforted her gently, “You’ve done your best. The one at fault is Lilian Collins. She had the strength but didn't save the person because she was afraid, which led to the tragedy.”
I argued, “It was clearly Ivy who let them in, which caused the panda to have a stress reaction. She is the real culprit!”
Hearing that, my dad slapped me hard.
“You’re an experienced zookeeper. It’s all your fault. You let them in and didn't save them. It has nothing to do with Ivy!”
Later, there was an investigation from higher authorities.
My dad, in the name of justice, pushed me out and said impartially, “All the mistakes were made by Lilian alone! Even if she is my own daughter, I will not cover up her mistakes in the slightest!”
Due to a power outage at the venue that day, the surveillance cameras recorded nothing. Moreover, it was already closing time at that time and there were no other visitors to testify.
My dad's words were the only testimony.
I was taken away by the police and sued by the deceased's family.
My dad attended the trial and claimed that he witnessed everything. He said that it was me who personally put the two drunk men into the enclosure, which provoked the panda and I failed to save them out of fear for my own life.
Due to insufficient evidence, I was released on the spot.
However, my dad kept giving interviews and shifted blame onto me, allowing people to insult me at will.
Except for the law, everyone believed that I was the murderer.
The family of the deceased joined forces and kidnapped me.
At that time, my dad was just ten meters away, watching me being taken away.
Later, I was bitten to death by Tibetan mastiffs.
When my soul returned to my dad's side, I saw him resolutely telling the reporters that I deserved to die.
He forgave the killer who had killed me and even compensated them.
In order to vent people’s anger, he threw my ashes into the sea to feed the fish, saying that he wanted to cleanse my sins.
I quickened my pace as I regained consciousness.
I would start over and seek revenge!
Chapter 2
Eva was a panda who recently returned from a foreign country. It had a very gentle personality.
The reason it hurt people was that those two drunk men had deliberately provoked it, beat it, and even bit its leg.
It only instinctively protected itself when it was frightened.
I quickly arrived there and saw Eva leaning against the tree trunk, panting, while the man kept throwing things at its head.
After I stopped the man, I quickly took out Eva's favorite carrot to distract its attention.
Now, it was not crazy enough to bite people, but it was scared by the screams of the injured and started to retreat.
When I handed the carrot over, it didn't eat, but stopped chasing the man.
The man took the opportunity to escape, and I slowly led Eva back to the enclosure.
When my dad arrived, I had successfully controlled Eva.
Seeing the blood all over the ground, he was furious.
When the ambulance took the injured person away, the police were also on their way.
My dad questioned me loudly, just like in my previous life.
Ivy knelt in front of him, covering her face and crying in confusion.
"Sir, I didn't intentionally let them in. I took cold medicine and was dizzy and sleepy. Without my glasses, I couldn't see them clearly. They stole our clothes. I thought they were colleagues, so I opened the door..."
I interrupted her voice. "I clearly heard you call their names. They are your classmates, right?"
Ivy, pale and flustered, shook her head. "I, I don't know. I took medicine and I was confused..."
I sternly said, "Stop pretending. You just wanted to show off to them that you became a zookeeper. You deliberately let them in to take photos with Eva to demonstrate your self-righteous authority!"
Ivy cried out, "I didn't! Lilian, although I am new here, I wouldn't be ignorant of the basic rules. You can blame me, but you can't slander me!”
I couldn't help but sneer. “Is that so? We'll know when we ask the injured person later.”
Ivy's face instantly turned paler, and a look of fear flashed in her pupils!
Slap!
My dad glared at me and slapped me!
“You're so authoritative! You keep saying Ivy is guilty. Do you think you're the emperor? Is this your home?”
I covered my painful cheek and slapped my dad back. Because I was strong, he almost fell down from the hit.
He was so angry that he was trembling.
“Unfilial daughter! How dare you hit me!”
I sneered, “Ivy has admitted her mistake, but you still try to shift the blame onto me. I suspect you're not my real dad at all!”
Then I looked at Ivy and said. “Or maybe you’re his illegitimate daughter. Otherwise, with your ability, how could you easily pass the entrance exam?”
Both of them blushed.
My dad pointed at my nose and scolded me angrily, “Don't change the subject! The worst decision I've ever made in my life is not aborting you!”
As he was speaking, the sound of sirens could be heard.
Chapter 3
The police and reporters arrived together, and many onlookers also rushed to the zoo.
Ivy ran up to the police and admitted her mistake, saying similar things as before.
The police asked, “So, the only mistake you're referring to is that you were too scared to go in and save people?”
Ivy choked up and didn't answer immediately.
At this moment, my dad pulled me forward.
“Officer, I am the curator here. I witnessed everything!"
He pushed me to the camera as he said firmly, “It was my daughter, Lilian, who mistakenly let two visitors disguised as staff members in. And it was because she was afraid that she didn't rush to stop the panda in time, resulting in injuries. Ivy is just a newcomer who knows nothing and was scared.”
The police frowned as they listened to these words, and when they looked at me, their eyes were filled with obvious anger.
Although the reporters couldn't come in, my father's voice was loud enough to be heard outside.
The discussion followed. “Isn't Lilian a senior keeper? How could she make such a low-level mistake?”
“The survivor said he was saved by Lilian. If she didn't make a mistake, why would she risk her life to save him?”
“Even Lilian’s biological father identified her, so it must be her fault!”
The rumors spread like this in my previous life, causing the whole society to identify me as the murder.
And Ivy was just an innocent new keeper who got implicated.
Everyone thought that I caused her to suffer psychological trauma right after she started working, and that I should compensate her for mental damages.
The court did not sentence me to penalty, and Ivy also did not sue me.
But my father took the initiative to stand up and said he would compensate Ivy for me, giving her a set of house that originally belonged to me!
The police said to me seriously, “Lilian Collins, please come with us to cooperate with the investigation!”
I took out my phone and responded loudly to their questioning, "Yes, there was a power outage tonight, but my phone battery is fully charged. At the time of the incident, I was fixing it in one place to record a video for Eva. By watching the video, you can see everything clearly!”
Before the police could ask to see it, I posted the video on the Tiktok.
Afterwards, I handed it over to the police.
