After understanding the language of animals, I quit the entertainment circle and started working for

Chapter 166 Parting ways
Lin Xiao's expression grew increasingly grim as she thought about it. She suddenly stood up straight. "No, we have to find them quickly!"

As she spoke, she quickly stood up and walked outside.

However, after taking just one step, he suddenly felt a strange pulling force.

Lin Xiao frowned and subconsciously looked down, only to see Wenwen dragging a tattered sweater over.

Wenwen shook her head and let out a soft hum!

At this moment, Lin Xiao had no time to consider Wenwen's feelings and snatched it away.

Correct!
Where's the little fox?

Lin Xiao subconsciously turned her head and looked around a few times, but she didn't see the little fox at all.

He slowly tightened his grip on the sweater, his expression growing increasingly grim.

"I'm going to find someone!"

As he spoke, he turned and left the dormitory building with his phone in hand!
She had previously thought that Jiang Yun and Song Jinwen would do something to her, which was why she specifically left the little brat in the dormitory.

Unexpectedly...

Although she immediately gave Gu Ming a look when she sensed something was wrong, she never expected...

She rubbed her temples and dialed Lu Chengshen's number directly.

As soon as the call connected, before she could even speak, she heard the voice coming from the other end of the line.

"Don't worry, I'll be there with my men right away!"

In fact, as soon as I realized something was wrong, I took immediate action.

Unfortunately, there was nowhere to set up camp around the zoo, so they had to settle for something else.

That's why it's been delayed for so long.

Lin Xiao leaned against the wall, looking dejected, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ming had already checked all the traces in the room.

He walked out slowly, stood in the corridor, and looked at the woman standing opposite him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"You want to go find someone?"

After a while, Lin Xiao's extremely calm voice rang out in the corridor.

Gu Ming pursed his lips, glanced at the python clinging to Lin Xiao as if guarding its prey, and finally nodded.

But after a moment of silence, he spoke again, "Don't worry, I won't go!"

He was even clearer in his mind that his mission this time was to protect Lin Xiao.

If something really happens to Lin Xiao, then all their sacrifices will have been in vain!
Lin Xiao leaned against the wall and sighed dejectedly.
She... seems to have really come out, and there's a lot of trouble.

If it really was because of her that the missing soldier got into trouble...

Lin Xiao suddenly stood up straight. "Brother Gu, shall we go inside and look for someone?"

Gu Ming's pupils suddenly dilated, and he subconsciously refused.

"The forest is a complex environment; what if something really happens..."

Lin Xiao chuckled and reached out to scratch Wenwen's chin.

"Brother Gu, there are so many animals in the reserve, do you really think I'll be the one who gets into trouble?"

Gu Ming subconsciously felt that the risk was not small, but looking at the python that had straightened up and was staring at him intently, he couldn't say a word.

nonsense!

Looking into Wenwen's eyes—those eyes that say, "If you dare say another word, I'll bite you to death"—all my opinions vanished without a trace.

Gu Ming hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't overpower the man and snake in front of him, so he could only silently follow.

Lin Xiao did indeed have her own plans.

Jiang Yun and Song Jinwen, who are openly causing trouble, are merely pawns.

Even if we manage to control them, it's still uncertain what information we can get from them.

However, judging from the signs of a struggle in the room and the bullets left behind, the people who came this time seem to be very similar to the group we encountered in Changbai Mountain before.

If it's really as she guessed, then the person who escaped into the woods this time is probably on par with the one we caught last time!
If we could keep this group of people here...

However, thinking of those cunning people with multiple burrows, Lin Xiao subconsciously frowned.

In the past, they were able to easily capture those few people because someone in the team had been promoted to a second-in-command position, or simply because someone had made a stupid mistake.

It's almost entirely a matter of luck.

But this time, she needed to come up with a better way to lure them out...

-

Almost no one has ever ventured into the center of the forest.

Lin Xiao walked slower and slower. She was panting heavily and leaned against a tree next to her.

His face was contorted with exhaustion, making his expression particularly ferocious.

"Brother Gu, shall we take a break?"

Gu Ming frowned and glanced at her.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, when he saw Lin Xiao, who was standing opposite him, sit down on the grass.

It was still wailing incessantly.

"I can't walk anymore! Even if you kill me today, I'm going to sit here and rest for a while."

As if she were being unreasonable, she simply pulled the reticulated python off her and hugged it to her arms.

She was still muttering to herself, "I'm so tired! I should have waited until Teacher Chen finished dealing with things before we came in together."

Gu Ming stared at her silently for a long while without saying a word. He simply crossed his arms and leaned against the tree trunk next to him, closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing that the man didn't respond at all, Lin Xiao clicked her tongue and muttered with some disdain, "What a clueless straight man, he didn't say a single word!"

She hugged the python in her arms with a hint of disgust, and with her slightly bent right index finger, she lightly tapped Wenwen's body twice, seemingly unintentionally.

He let out a comfortable sigh.

Just then, the web novel python, which had been lying obediently in his arms, suddenly straightened up.

With a robust body nearly 20 centimeters long, it possesses tremendous strength.

In an instant, Lin Xiao, who was sitting on the grass, was thrown aside.

Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed, and she let out a scream.

"Wenwen, where are you going?"

"Don't run away! Brother Gu, please help me catch him! If this snake gets away, how am I going to explain it to Director Chen?"

A hint of annoyance flashed in Gu Ming's eyes, but his movements remained swift.

He drew the dagger from his waist and chased after him in a few steps.

Upon seeing the gleaming dagger, Lin Xiao's expression changed, and he quickly spoke up to stop it!
Gu Ming's dagger, which was originally aimed at the python, was forcibly deflected and landed on the ground next to him.

The python, which he had finally managed to catch up with by the tail, had long since vanished amidst the rustling of the trees.

Lin Xiao ran over anxiously, and immediately began to complain.

How could you let it escape?

"If we can't find this snake, how am I supposed to explain this to the zoo?"

Gu Ming expressionlessly retrieved the dagger from the ground, giving Lin Xiao a look that was hard to describe.

His tightly pressed lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

In the end, he simply sighed and said, neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I'm sorry!"

After saying that, he walked back to his previous spot without changing his expression, leaned against the tree trunk, and closed his eyes.

Lin Xiao's lips twitched; she was furious!
"What kind of attitude is this?"

"You're my hired assistant, what right do you have to give me attitude?"

"You're always acting all high and mighty. I think you don't know who your boss is."

Gu Ming glanced at the person opposite him with some impatience, his tone extremely perfunctory.

"What do you want?"

"you you……"

Lin Xiao's fingertips were trembling slightly as she pointed at him.

"I hired you, but you didn't do anything right! You even had my house ransacked, and I don't even know where the little brat is."

"Does he really think he's so capable?"

Gu Ming's face darkened, and he let out a sneer, "Are you ever going to stop?!"

"You really think you're the boss just because you pay me? I'm leaving, and you probably won't even be able to get out of here."

Lin Xiao showed no mercy, waving his hand dismissively, "Get out, get out of here!"

Gu Ming flicked the dagger and casually put it back in its original position.

"Fine! I'm not going to serve you anymore!"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Lin Xiao to watch the man's departing figure, her expression slightly changing.

But she still forced herself to turn around and walk deeper into the woods, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.

"Fine, I'll go! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
