Chapter 1198: Thanking

Zhang Zian knew that Sihwa would surely explode on the spot when she saw those slanderous words.

Although she was a mermaid and did not risk her life when she was saving people, there was nothing false about the rescue itself. Anyone who was slandered would be angry.

She had never had a filter on her words, and at this time, she was so angry she was even tongue-tied. Her poor vocabulary was not enough to express her anger.

Her chest was about to explode. She wanted to yell. Only then could she express the anger that was continuously rising in her heart.

“Don’t get worked up. We are going to fix this situation now.”

Zhang Zian was afraid that she would really yell. Although the sound-proof measures of the hotel were very strong, the high-frequency sound waves she shouted at were very penetrating. If she got extremely angry, the glass of the whole hotel could probably be shattered.

“Fix it? How do we fix it? I didn’t fake this situation! I didn’t stage it!” She raised her red face, trying to control the tears in her eyes, feeling so wronged she wanted to cry.

“I know. It’s not just me. Everyone knows.”

Zhang Zian turned his body a bit to let her see what was behind him.

This kind of luxury hotel bathroom glass was either transparent or could be converted to a matte effect, as electro-optical glass, so that guests, when they checked in, could... Help to make the atmosphere more suitable for romance?

He made the glass transparent, and Sihwa saw that the elfins were all already awake and looking at her in pity, standing outside the bathroom.

When she’d saved people that day, the elfins had all been present. Although the wind and sand had been too strong to see clearly, Pi’s continuous honking of car horns had been enough to prove the urgency of the situation at that time. Even Fina’s hatred of annoying and noisy elfins did not prevent Pi from honking its horn.

Old Time Tea said calmly, “Sihwa, people that are clean are clean, and people that are dirty are dirty. You saved someone out of your own goodwill. You must not be dismayed by the villain’s slander. I believe Zian will manage to prove your innocence.”

If it were Old Time Tea itself, it was righteous in mind and worthy of the world. It did not care about other people’s views, but Sihwa was different from it. She was now in need of encouragement.

Vladimir sneered, “The mugwort is flourishing while the fragrant peppers and orchids are lacking. It is because good people keep silent that bad people run rampant! These people only dare to show their sense of existence on the internet. If I was in China now, hm hm... I would definitely pull them out from the internet one by one and let them fall into the large sea of the Meow people’s war!”

Fina knew more about Zhang Zian’s character than she did. It guessed that since he had made this clear, there must be some countermeasures. It lazily said, “Speak. Who will be fooled today?”

Sihwa saw that Fina was calm, and she calmed down a little. She looked at Zhang Zian and saw that he looked as if he would be able to cope with all measures.

“Ah, Zian, what ways do you have to prove my innocence?” She was grasping at a life-saving thread.

“I have no method.” He shook his head, not waiting for her to look in despair. He continued, “But Pi can help you prove your innocence.”

“Pi?”

Sihwa was stunned.

She and Pi were the two elfins that stayed in the pet shop the most. The other elfins could cover the first floor in their range, but she and Pi hardly ever left the second floor. The difference is that she was forced to stay, while Pi stayed voluntarily.

Sihwa, who was outgoing and unwilling to be lonely, did not interact much with Pi. When she broadcasted live and was bored, she only took the sound of Pi’s typing as background noise.

In her eyes, Pi’s sense of existence was not high. Only when it went into the bathroom in the morning to wash its face would it show a shy and restrained smile.

So when she heard that Pi could prove her innocence, she was both surprised and suspicious. She looked unconsciously at the desk, looking for Pi, but she did not see its figure hitting the keyboard as usual.

Zhang Zian also did not stop the story at the climax to keep her in suspense. He explained to her and other elfins what he had learned in the past two days, as well as the fact that Pi had stayed up all night to collect evidence for her.

In spite of her grievances, Sihwa was forcefully holding herself back and not letting her tears fall, because she felt so humiliated and did not want Zhang Zian and the elfins to look down on her. At that time, her nose was running and her tears were trickling down.

She lowered her head, trying to hide it as she said, “How hateful. The water in my hair has yet to be dried...”

But when had she ever dried her hair?

She seemed to know that this statement was not convincing, so she simply retracted her head back into the water. When she came out again, the tears and water could not be separated.

Zhang Zian also did not expose her little lie. He took up her cell phone and said, “The evidence gathered by Pi is in my cell phone. Now let’s go over the lines and prepare for a good play!”

“Go over the lines?” she asked, her voice a bit nasally.

“Yes! Let’s not only prove that you are innocent but also pull out the person behind the scenes!” Zhang Zian nodded to Vladimir. “The respected Qu bestowed pain and disturbance in that year with a killing knife in his hand! We can’t just let ourselves be beaten passively—if the old cat doesn’t show its ability, do you really think it’s a sick tiger because of that?”

Fina was satisfied with this edited proverb.

Vladimir agreed, “If one does not offend me, I will not offend them. If one offends me, I will definitely offend them!”

Sihwa did not really understand, but judging from the attitude and the tone of the elfins, they would not let her be bullied like that.

“Thank... Thank you.” She lowered her head and used a voice that was so soft it was like the buzzing of a mosquito.

As for Pi, she would thank it when it was done sleeping.

“Pi collects evidence for you, not for your thanks. Because it has been helped, it uses the same way to repay others, so you don’t have to be too concerned about it,” Zhang Zian said.

He recalled that not long ago, when Pi’s novel was attacked, he’d felt powerless, but suddenly there was a 180-degree reversal. At that time, he’d wondered if there was anything fishy with the situation.

Judging by Pi’s attitude today, it seemed that it had found the truth of the matter. After all, it was a thing of the past. Even if it involved other elfins, it could also find out.

There weren’t many candidates for an elfin who could do this quietly and were unwilling to speak out. He didn’t need to ask Pi to know.

Sihwa was unsatisfied as she clenched her fist. “Don’t look down on me! If Pi needs help, I’ll also do my best to help it!”

She was too embarrassed to mention the other elfins because she thought they were so powerful that they didn’t need her help at all. As for Zhang Zian... If one day he was in trouble, she would have to laugh at him first, and then help him reluctantly and slightly—if she was in a better mood at that time.

Zhang Zian could not guess her complicated feelings. He explained his plan to her once and rehearsed it twice in order to avoid making mistakes.

Everything was prepared, and Sihwa started to broadcast.
