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

Chapter 189 Who are you?

"Is the person you're looking for?"

Lu Chengshen took a step forward, his voice growing more resolute, "Since you're looking for me, don't drag innocent people into this!"

"Release the person, and I'll talk to you."

"Talk? You're really making me proud by asking Minister Lu to talk to me in detail!" Xu Yan smiled sarcastically, but his grip on Lin Xiao's throat didn't loosen at all.

Even a sudden lift of his palm and a sudden tightness around his throat caused Lin Xiao to let out a muffled groan.

The people standing around immediately changed their expressions.

Many people even took a quick step forward with a hint of urgency.

"What?!"

The accusations coming from all around him seemed to go unheard by Xu Yan.

Her face was full of smiles.

He slightly raised his eyebrows, his gaze slowly falling on the gloomy-faced man opposite him, and his tone inexplicably changed.

"However... seeing how anxious you are, I'll give you a chance. Use your life to exchange for hers, how about it?"

"do not want!"

As soon as Xu Yan finished speaking, he heard Lin Xiao's subconscious refusal.

Lin Xiao struggled against the arm that was being held in the other person's hand, and tried to resist.

But then Xu Yan's light, airy voice reached her ears.

"Lin Xiao, you'd better not move!"

As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Lin Xiao's hands, which had already broken free.

Lin Xiao was startled, and before she could speak, she heard Xu Yan's extremely indifferent voice.

"Aren't you worried about what happened to the red fox you brought here?"

Meeting Lin Xiao's angry gaze, Xu Yan nonchalantly curled the corners of his lips, "Didn't you notice that the little brat who's always by your side has disappeared?"

"you!"

Xu Yan completely ignored Lin Xiao's anger.

He smiled slightly and looked at Lu Chengshen, who was standing not far away. His slightly raised voice was full of provocation!

"Minister Lu, have you made up your mind?"

"I don't have that much time to play with you!"

"If you want to trade your life for Lin Xiao's, then come with me alone."

As he spoke, he restrained Lin Xiao with one hand and slowly retreated backward!
Lu Chengshen glanced very seriously at the person not far away, and finally took a firm step.

Seeing his actions, the people around him subconsciously called out his name, their expressions slightly changing.

"Lu Bu!"

"Minister Lu!"

"Wait for me here!" Lu Chengshen frowned, looking in the direction where Xu Yan had disappeared, his expression extremely solemn.

"Don't forget what the higher-ups said: Lin Xiao absolutely cannot get into trouble!"

Lin Xiao, led by Xu Yan, had already walked out of the cave entrance.

It was only at this moment that Lin Xiao finally realized that the cave was actually connected to a cliff.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiao did not go with Lu Chengshen to the cliff where Xu Yan hid his equipment.

Otherwise, he would have recognized it at a glance as the cliff that Lu Chengshen had previously searched!

She was completely bewildered by Xu Yan's behavior.

Xu Yan had clearly tried every means to give her a glimmer of hope.

But how come their attitude changed so drastically in such a short time!
Could it be that there's something between him and Lu Bu...?

"You and Lu Bu..."

Lin Xiao tentatively asked.

However, this remark only elicited a low chuckle from the person behind him.

"Minister Lu? He's your Minister Lu, but not mine!"

He chuckled at the empty cave entrance before turning to look at the person beside him.

"However, it seems your Army Commander is not prepared to sacrifice himself..."

Before Xu Yan could finish speaking, she looked up and saw Lu Chengshen standing not far away.

Lu Chengshen frowned, looking at him expressionlessly. "Didn't you come looking for me? Now that I'm here, can you release them?"

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lin Xiao with a half-smile, his voice carrying an indescribable mockery.

"So, even Lu Bu can feel sorry for people?"

"I thought you were cold-blooded and ruthless, that all you cared about was your meager sense of responsibility!"

Lu Chengshen narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

He frowned and looked at the camera on Lin Xiao's chest, subtly making a gesture. The person behind the camera immediately sprang into action.

At this moment, no one knew that the person who had been watching the camera footage on Xu Yan was also panicking!
"Is he crazy?! He already has Lin Xiao, why is he wasting his breath talking to them?"

"Why aren't you taking him away and getting this over with?"

"What is Xu Yan trying to do? Is he planning a rebellion?"

Seeing the situation getting increasingly out of control, the people in the monitoring room even turned on their microphones to try and communicate with Xu Yan.

"Xu Yan, stop this idiot and bring him back right now! What are you doing, wasting your breath talking to Lu Chengshen?!"

The incessant chatter came through the earphones. Xu Yan sneered, ripped off his earphones, and then turned his gaze back to the man opposite him.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

He scoffed, his eyes filled with mockery and disdain.

"Minister Lu, you really do have a bad memory. Even a life lost is not worth remembering in your eyes?"

Lu Chengshen looked at the person in front of him with a very serious expression, his tone even more solemn.

"who are you?"

From the past to the present, Lu Chengshen has never felt that he has done anything wrong, except...

This story dates back to five years ago, when he had just joined the company.

That day, he went with his senior to deal with an illegally operating circus. While rescuing animals, they discovered a kidnapped child.

Whether out of revenge or for some other reason, as soon as Lu Chengshen entered the room, he heard a loud bang as the door was slammed shut.

He rushed to the door, but it was already locked!
There was no other way but to bite the bullet and go inside... and then he was caught off guard and saw two large iron cages.

All the wild animals kept in the circus and a starving child were placed in two large iron cages.

On top of their iron cages, there was a bucket of steaming lime mixed with water!
A typical prank, a choice-or-nothing trick.

If he dares to open any of the cages, the scalding lime on them will pour down without mercy...

But even if he doesn't make a choice, the scales of the cage are silently tipping in favor of the child.

Lu Chengshen's face turned pale, and he stood there stunned... His mind went completely blank, and he forgot to react at all.

But when he came to his senses, he quickly ran towards the child.

But the child remained unusually calm.

He sat there, looking at the people outside the cage, blinking curiously.

"Brother, is it because you saved me that they're going to die?"

Her large, grape-like eyes could melt anyone's heart.

"Brother, will you get out of here?"

The boy looked at Lu Chengshen for a while, then quickly shook his head.

"No more!"

"Brother, living is much better than dying!"

"Please, I beg you, give me this chance, okay?"

"No, you're still young!" Lu Chengshen had just started working and had no idea how to persuade him, so he could only put on a cold face and bite the bullet to open the lime bucket near the animals.

But the child standing on the other side stared at him for a long time before finally letting out a soft laugh.

"Brother, you must remember, my name is Qin Muchu!"

"Otherwise, there would truly be no trace of me in this world."

The little baby was sighing and groaning, but he looked like a little adult!
Lu Chengshen had a vague sense of foreboding and could only speed up his actions immediately.

However... it was still too late.

With a loud bang, Lu Chengshen's exclamation exploded in the room!

"Qin Muchu!"

I... I guess I'll just keep sliding on my knees, *sobs* >_<
