Hearing that his owner was still defending the goddess, Da Pang grew even angrier. It turned its head and let out a hiss, clearly displaying its fury.
“Don’t get agitated, Da Pang. Your owner is just blinded by his own situation.” Lu Ruo soothed Da Pang’s emotions. “Lie down. This time I’ll make sure he takes a good look at your belly, and then he’ll know the truth.”
Da Pang shot a disdainful glance at its owner, then did as Lu Ruo said—lying down on the table and exposing its belly.
The audience was stunned by this scene.
[This blue cat is so obedient. I’m starting to think the streamer is telling the truth.]
[This isn’t scripted, right? Could the streamer and the person on the call know each other?]
[Hey, Da Pizza, hurry up and look at the kid’s belly! The kid already laid down on its own!]
The barrage of comments urged Da Pizza to quickly check Da Pang’s belly when the song “Plain Face” suddenly rang out.
That was Da Pizza’s ringtone.
Da Pizza immediately grabbed his phone, about to answer.
But Da Pang, who had been lying peacefully, suddenly did a sit-up and swatted the phone to the ground with one claw, baring its teeth at its owner, all its fur standing on end.
[Da Pang’s fur is all puffed up—is it stressed out?]
Sexy Husky: [Is there something special about that ringtone? Could it be the legendary goddess-exclusive ringtone?]
Lu Ruo saw this comment and said, “Mm, that is indeed his goddess’s exclusive ringtone. She must have seen my stream, so she wants to stop Da Pizza from learning the truth.”
“So what’s it going to be? Whether you choose to believe the little cat that’s already lying down for you to examine, or your goddess—it’s entirely up to you.”
“Meow meow meow~” Da Pang immediately howled, staring intently at Da Pizza.
Da Pizza met his blue cat’s piercing gaze, looked at the phone on the ground ringing again, and fell silent.
It seemed like every time that ringtone went off before, Da Pang would get agitated?
Could Lu Ruo actually be telling the truth?
No, impossible!
“My goddess isn’t feeling guilty.” Da Pizza glanced at the time and said, “She’s just calling to ask where we’re going next week. I’ll prove right now that she never pinched Da Pang!”
The goddess’s face and voice echoed in his mind. Da Pizza confidently parted the fur on Da Pang’s belly.
He had expected to prove Lu Ruo was a liar, but the moment he saw Da Pang’s pink belly clearly, his entire body went stiff.
Under the high-definition camera, the cat’s fur was filled with tiny red marks. Old and new wounds intermingled—a shocking sight.
Something inside him seemed to come crashing down. Da Pizza’s hands trembled uncontrollably.
“How… how are there really red marks…”
[Incredible. What is on-the-spot face-slapping? There really are red marks.]
[The streamer is amazing. Can she really understand cat language?]
[Mission: Help the blue cat Da Pang make its owner learn the goddess’s true nature—COMPLETE. Reward: 10 points, random Beast Tongue: Bird Language!]
The mission was complete!
Lu Ruo smiled happily. When she looked back at the screen, Lu Ze had posted again: [Hey, can you be clear-headed for a moment? Maybe it was pinched by someone at the pet store, or maybe someone else pinched it when you took it somewhere else. How is it definitely her?]
Da Pizza also saw this comment and shouted back with red eyes: “I never take Da Pang out except when I go out with her! Da Pang hasn’t been sick in all these years, and I was worried too many baths would be bad for it, so I didn’t take it to the pet store often either!”
“I don’t have a housekeeper or anything. I live alone. If it wasn’t her, then was it me who pinched it?”
“I liked her so much. I thought she was different from everyone else I’d met, but it turns out she does the same things as the people who bullied me!”
“If I hadn’t gotten Da Pang back then, I might have already killed myself from all the bullying.” Da Pizza was emotionally charged as he picked up the phone from the ground and said fiercely, “I’m going to ask her why she bullies my cat like this!”
[Call her! Call her! I want to see who this cat-pincher is!]
[I love this kind of drama.]
He called back, but no one answered.
Da Pizza angrily threw his phone again, then gifted Lu Ruo a Carnival on the computer, saying with red eyes, “I’m sorry. I apologize for what I did to you earlier.”
The audience found his words confusing, but Lu Ruo responded naturally: “Just don’t let her bully Da Pang anymore from now on.”
In fact, the moment the stream connected, Lu Ruo had already learned Da Pizza’s identity from the angry things Da Pang was cursing about.
He was Jiang Yu, the chubby kid who hung around Lu Yao.
Jiang Yu was the only son of the Jiang family, and he had started his freshman year of high school at 17. Apparently, it was because he had been bullied as a child and had suffered from depression for a while.
The Jiang family had business dealings with the Lu family, and by comparison, the Jiang family was even better off than the Lu family.
After Lu Yao got close to Jiang Yu, she had mentioned at the dinner table that she had Jiang Yu wrapped around her finger, and that the cooperation with the Jiang family would never be cut off.
She relied on Jiang Yu to secure benefits for the Lu family, yet behind his back, she bullied his cat.
Lu Ruo looked at Da Pang with a pained heart.
Da Pang was feeling very proud at this moment, puffing out its chest and looking at Jiang Yu, saying, “Stupid Jiang Yu, regret bullying me now, don’t you?”
After saying this, it suddenly looked seriously at Lu Ruo and meowed out a big secret.
“Since you can really understand cat speech, there’s something else I want to tell you. Last time when Jiang Yu took me out to play, Lu Yao tried to pinch me again, so I ran away. I ran into an old, rundown big house, and inside a big barrel, I smelled a very strong smell of human blood!”
“Someone must have died in there!”
[New mission “Help the police, catch the murderer who stuffed the victim into a barrel” has been triggered. Mission reward: 10 points, one random Beast Tongue.]
Another new mission had been triggered! And it was one involving a victim!
Lu Ruo tensed up in fright.
Da Pang was a cat and didn’t know human addresses; only Jiang Yu knew.
She needed to find out the location, then call the police!
“Thank you.”
Lu Ruo thanked Da Pang, then looked up at Jiang Yu, but he was already on the phone with someone.
“Mom, Dad, it’s me, yeah. Has the development project we’re cooperating with the Lu family been signed? Not signed? Good, don’t sign it in the future. She and I are no longer friends.”
“Okay, goodbye.”
Seeing that Jiang Yu had finished his call, Lu Ruo opened her mouth to ask, but Jiang Yu spoke first: “Thank you for telling me the truth. I’m going to take Da Pang for a full body check-up now. I’ll log off.”
“Wait, don’t disconnect! I still have something to tell you!”
But Jiang Yu gave no further response and directly exited the livestream.
Jiang Yu was gone, but Lu Ze was still there.
He viciously sent a bullet comment: [Lu Ruo, although I don’t know what method you used to frame her, this isn’t over. I won’t let you off easy.]
After leaving that harsh remark, Lu Ze also exited the livestream.
But the livestream room was still very lively.
Because Lu Ruo had actually been right!
Some netizens were sending her small gifts worth a dime, and Sexy Husky sent her 10 luxury cars.
Then he posted a bullet comment: [You can really understand cat speech? When can you understand dog speech?]
[Hurry, hurry, streamer, I also want to know what my little rascal at home is thinking. Please connect with me.]
[Streamer, can you read birds?]
The livestream’s audience also went from 130 to 2,000 people. With netizens continuously sharing, the number was still growing.
But Lu Ruo couldn’t sit still anymore. She was anxious about the victim’s situation.
“I’m sorry, everyone. I have something very important to deal with and can’t continue streaming for now. If you’re interested, please follow me. I’ll find time later to help everyone communicate with their cats.”
