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.

Chapter 4

I had a total of two videos saved.

The first one was recorded two hours ago, just after nightfall.

When I was reborn, I happened to catch two tourists stealing my colleague's uniform.

I exposed their identities and made them leave.

Seeing me driving the people away, Ivy said, "Lilian, it's not a big deal. Let them go in and take some photos. Eva is so gentle. Nothing will happen."

I criticized her on the spot, "Whether something will happen or not, non-staff members are not allowed to enter! Don't you understand this common sense? What qualifications do you have to continue being a zookeeper?"

She justified herself. "Eva eats bamboo and sleeps alone every day. It also needs someone to accompany and play with it. If you were Eva, you would also feel lonely, right?"

"Ivy, you've only been here for three days, but I've been here for eight years. Do you think you understand pandas better than me? Even if they are gentle, they are still fierce beasts with territorial awareness. You don't understand any of this. How did you even get in here?"

She pouted and complained to me, "Your thoughts are so outdated. Pandas are intelligent and won't harm people. They're just taking pictures. Why are you being so stingy?"

The video ended here.

Ivy’s voice still echoed in the room.

Every word was like a slap, hitting her face hard.

The people present looked at Ivy with anger instead of sympathy.

She bit her lip, lowered her head, and cried as if she had been bullied by the whole world.

My dad's veins bulged as he hugged her and questioned me, "You had time to make videos, but no time to kick out the tourists, right?"

“Ivy said those just because she's a newcomer and doesn't know any better. What's wrong with her asking questions?”

Indeed, this video alone couldn’t declare Ivy guilty.

The police asked us to be quiet, and then played the next video.

As early as when those two people were driven away, I knew Ivy wouldn't give up easily.

So, I secretly recorded a video with my phone in advance.

Sure enough, not long after I left, Ivy came back with those two people.

She opened the door herself and shouted the names of those two people.

"Hurry up, or she will come and scold me again."

Those two men excitedly said, "Ivy, thanks to you, my dream for more than ten years has come true. You're amazing!"

Ivy proudly raised her chin and said, "What's the big deal? Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, you can come and play with the panda anytime you want! We're classmates. How can I not agree?"

"Thank you, thank you."

Then, those two people rushed in.

When Eva smelled the scent of strangers, it turned around and ignored them.

Seeing that, the two people were unhappy and went to pull it.

Eva was scared and was about to roll away.

They laughed and pressed it down to prevent it from moving.

Soon, the panda made a whimpering sound.

But Ivy just smiled and watched the whole process at the door.

A man turned around and asked her, “Can we play with it like this?”

Ivy responded generously, “Even if you press it harder, it's fine. It has thick skin and a lot of fur. It even feels comfortable when you press it.”

With her words, the two men played with Eva even more recklessly.

At this point, Ivy was already sobbing.

Afterwards, there was the scene where I kicked her and went to save people.

When my silent dad saw this scene, he suddenly scolded me.

"Lilian! How dare you kick and hit your colleague! Do you know how much psychological shadow this kick will bring to her?"
