Hearing how Elizabeth described the situation, Zhao Yao frowned and asked, "Do they have evidence? Like photos or videos and the like?"
"No, those are all rumors, " Elizabeth frowned before she continued, "There are just some photos of my daily life. I don't know where those came from as well."
"Photos of your daily life?" Zhao Yao looked up and scanned the surroundings of the extradimensional belly. He saw nearly 200 supercats playing around, bustling with activity.
Zhao Yao replied, "There are so many cats here, do you know who took those photos of you secretly? Did you try checking before?"
Elizabeth said, "Of course, but it was no use. I asked some people to send WeChat friend requests over but they were all rejected. They weee not keen on adding us at all. Even when we used our alternate accounts to send friend requests, they just rejected them."
"Oh? The other party rejects your friend requests, even from alternate accounts? How do they know what accounts you will use to add him?"
At the side, Roly Poly, who was still invisible, felt his heart racing faster and faster as he overheard their conversation. He became really nervous and even started to back away to distance himself from Elizabeth and Zhao Yao.
However, just as Roly Poly was backing up, Zhao Yao suddenly turned at stared at Roly Poly and said, "Roly Poly, why are you walking away? You are Elizabeth's assistant for networking on WeChat, what do you think of this issue?"
Roly Poly froze on the spot. He felt as if he had shed half of his fur in that moment but quickly regained composure and said, "Zhao Yao must have heard my voice but did he guess that I'm the one behind all this?"
In the next moment, Roly Poly revealed himself and stuck out his tongue and pretended not to know anything."I didn't know about all of this either. I don't know what's going on."
"Why did I even ask, " Zhao Yao continued, "How about Airplane, didn't I ask him to check on the spy issue? Did he not find anything? I'll call him and ask."
After a while, Airplane clambered out of a cardboard box in a rush. His cat fur was ruffled up. Right after him came a female cat that peeked out from the box and shouted, "Brother Airplane, don't go. Keep me company for a while longer."
Airplane turned and smiled a little, "My leader is calling me. I really need to go."
The female cat screamed again, "What about the thing you promised me Brother Airplane..."
"Don't worry, just report to work at the royal cat guards tomorrow."
Airplane trotted and ran all the way to Zhao Yao and said in a flattering tone, "Boss, is there anything wrong?"
Zhao Yao glanced at him and asked, "Last time I asked you to check on the spy who secretly took photos of Elizabeth. Did you find anything?"
Upon hearing that, Airplane's face immediately was troubled and dejected as he said, "Boss, you don't know. Just how difficult this thing is to check. That spy is really crafty. We set up so many preventive measures and even let Elizabeth hide in a secret chamber and used another cat to spy on her but it all failed. The spy still managed to take those photos secretly."
Roly Poly gloated at the side, "Humph, what do you guys know about the skills of taking photos secretly."
Zhao Yao frowned and asked, "So you didn't find anything?"
Airplane jumped at the sight of Zhao Yao frowning and immediately said, "I suspect it's Roly Poly."
"Ah?" Roly Poly screamed in shock and shouted at Airplane, "Don't try to frame me! What makes you say it's me?" He was utterly shocked as he thought to himself, "Did Airplane get hold of evidence that it was me? This guy looks like the type that takes bribes. I didn't know he's actually so capable?"
Zhao Yao looked at Airplane and said, "Yeah, why do you say it's Roly Poly?"
Airplane continued, "Based on my instincts. The only one who's so indecent around here is Roly Poly. Furthermore his ability is the best for peeping, taking photos secretly, and stalking. Zhao Yao, if you had such an ability, would you resist the temptation to use it to do such things?"
"What the f*ck!" Roly Poly was fuming in his heart, "What nonsense is that?! Zhao Yao, beat the shit out of him!"
However to Roly Poly's astonishment, Zhao Yao nodded, "Hmm, Airplane what you said makes a lot of sense. Roly Poly does have a motive for being a spy."
Roly Poly exclaimed, "Ah?"
Airplane immediately added, "Actually, we wanted to search Roly Poly's phone and laptop for a long time but Roly Poly was the head of the Royal Cat Police Force. We didn't have the authority to do it even if we wanted to."
Roly Poly became even more shocked and enraged by his words."This Airplane, he's actually trying to frame me?"
Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly and said, "Roly Poly, let us check your phone."
Roly Poly felt his whole body break into a cold sweat at that moment. His palm stiffened so much that he could not move it even if he wanted to.
"That... that..."
"That what? What about that?" With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yao sent his phone flying into his hands and continued, "What's the password?"
"That... that..." Roly Poly felt his legs turning to jelly as he could not stop stuttering, "I... I forgot."
"Forgot?" Zhao Yao frowned.
Airplane said from the side, "Boss, I know the password should be six '8's."
Zhao Yao nodded and entered six '8's, which indeed opened the phone and he went straight to open the photo album.
In that instant, all sorts of scandalous cat photos appeared before Zhao Yao's eyes.
"Roly Poly..."
Plonk! Roly Poly collapsed on the floor as if had broken all the bones in his body before he writhed towards Zhao Yao and hugged his leg, begging for mercy as he cried, "Zhao Yao! I was wrong! I know I did wrong! I know I'm unscrupulous because I secretly took photos of Little Lizzie but that was really all I did. I didn't sell any of the photos."
Elizabeth immediately took over Roly Poly's phone and placed it on the floor. When she saw the photos on the screen she became even more mad, "Despicable, you actually took so many photos of me secretly and you didn't even edit them!"
Zhao Yao shook his leg to get rid of Roly Poly but just like chewing gum, Roly Poly clung on to him desperately and would not let go. Hence, Zhao Yao just controlled Roly Poly with his eyes and made him continue lying on the floor instead.
"Airplane, bring that cat away, " Zhao Yao shook his head, "I want him to explain everything clearly."
Airplane smiled enthusiastically and bowed to Zhao Yao with both paws as he said, "Don't worry, Boss. I will make sure he explains himself clearly. Guys, let's take Sir Roly back to the headquarters."
The royal cat guards came out immediately and brought Roly Poly away, who looked like he had lost all his senses. All the cats around them looked on intently.
Fūjin sighed, "Sigh, Sir Roly for all his power and status, ended up being dragged away just like that."
"Where once the swallows knew the mansions of the great, they now to humbler homes fly to nest and mate. So what if he held much power and status?" Rakshasa sighed as he looked at Zhao Yao, "The world ultimately belongs to the Zhaos."
"Show's over. Go away. Stop looking, " Airplane shouted as he waved off the crowd, "Those who continue looking will be taken to the cat prison to be questioned."
All the cats around sighed and shook their heads as they hastily dispersed.
Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, "Even if we caught the spy, the ripple effect of these photos online is not something that can be stopped simply by catching the spy."
Elizabeth screamed, "Then what should we do?"
A glint of gold light flashed across Zhao Yao's eyes, "Push the blame away."
