Chapter 231 Investigation Team

The little raccoon cat turned around silently, just about to sneak away.

He had just turned around and hadn't even taken a step away when suddenly the fur on the back of his neck was lifted up.

Its short, hairy legs dangled in the air, struggling wildly.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a mocking chuckle came from behind.

The little raccoon's struggling movements suddenly stopped.

He secretly turned his head to look at the person behind him, and couldn't help but lower his head and rub Lin Xiao's wrist in a fawning manner!

Seeing the guy's head down and silent appearance, Lin Xiao felt both amused and annoyed.

In the end, she could only helplessly poke his little head.

"Such a young age and already spreading rumors?"

The little raccoon covered its forehead with its two front paws looking extremely innocent, and reluctantly let out a soft groan.

"I didn't spread any rumors!"

"It was clearly the ice cream that said it!"

"You still think you're right? Did you even hear what was said at the time before you ran off and started spouting nonsense? Xuegao was just disciplining her own kid, and she just said it offhand!"

The little raccoon pouted in disdain, still looking reluctant.

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong! Please put me down!"

He struggled to escape, clearly unaware of his mistake.

Just as Lin Xiao was about to say a few more words of instruction, the door to the cat shelter was suddenly slammed open.

Lin Xiao was momentarily stunned, and the little raccoon cat took advantage of her unpreparedness and slipped smoothly through her fingers.

Then, with a light leap, it jumped onto the adjacent terrace and disappeared!
Lin Xiao looked at the little brat who had vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, and turned back with a helpless expression to look at the person who walked in through the door.

Feng Cheng stood at the door, his brows furrowed and his face solemn, as if something extremely important had happened.

Lin Xiao finally dropped the playful look on his face, and his voice became more serious.

"What happened?"

"Director Chu is looking for you. He said someone from higher up is here!" Feng Cheng looked at Lin Xiao with some concern and couldn't help but remind him, "It's probably about what happened online today!"

Lin Xiao paused slightly, then nodded calmly, "Okay, I understand!"

The internet has gotten to this point, and we need to give everyone an explanation no matter what.

Lin Xiao handed the little Pallas's cat in her arms to Feng Cheng and patted its head with a smile.

The little guy had to exert a lot of effort to get out.

In just a short while, I drifted off to sleep.

"Sister Xiao!"

Feng Cheng frowned, looking at her with concern, hesitant to speak.

Lin Xiao chuckled and patted her shoulder. "What are you afraid of? I haven't done anything wrong. What do you have to worry about?"

"Take the little one back, I'm going to my office now!"

Lin Xiao was always open and honest, and wasn't afraid of being investigated at all.

However, it wasn't until she entered the office that Lin Xiao finally realized why Feng Cheng had looked so worried.

At this very moment, Chu Lian, sitting behind his desk, was angrily slamming his fist on the table and challenging the men in the center of the office.

"What gives you the right to do this? I disagree."

"Elder Chu, aren't you making things difficult for us?"

Chu Lian snorted coldly, refusing to back down in the slightest.

"I won't stop you from investigating, but there are so many things in the garden that need her to do!"

“I’m putting this out there today. If you find any evidence that someone is trying to use connections, you can take them away at any time.”

"But suspension is impossible..."

"There's so much work to do in the garden, why are you helping me?" Those words left the person who retorted speechless for a long time.

Instead, the man standing at the front chuckled and stopped his subordinates.

"Elder Chu, since you insist on this, let's leave it at that for now."

"However, if we do find anything, I hope you will remember what you said today."

The man's voice carried a faint smile, displaying a calm and composed demeanor as if everything was under control.

After saying that, they took their leave.

However, as they passed by the door, the three people who came out from inside subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiao, who was standing at the door.

Inside the room, Chu Lian was so angry that he was fuming.

When she looked up, she saw the group of people standing at the door trying to talk to Lin Xiao. She almost immediately retorted, "What are you standing there for? Come in! I don't need you to be my doorman."

Lin Xiao turned away dejectedly, but her curious gaze couldn't help but linger on the departing person.

"Director, are these the people sent down from above to investigate me?"

Chu Lian gave a disdainful snort.

"What investigation? How did you get in? Don't you know?"

"Do we need these bastards to investigate? Besides, they're not here to investigate; they're clearly here to find evidence of wrongdoing."

"Evidence?"

"That's right!" Chu Lian said irritably. "The people outside haven't done anything yet, but the people inside have already started moving."

"If you ask me... if they can't get any evidence, they might just put themselves in jail first."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a while before she finally came to her senses.

She stared thoughtfully at the empty doorway.

So this is... competition within the department?

Seeing that she was still staring absentmindedly at the door, Old Man Chu immediately felt uncomfortable!

"Let me tell you, they're not exactly friendly. Be careful then, just state the facts and don't ramble on."

Lin Xiao nodded obediently.

Although both her lives combined, she has always been in a very simple research environment.

After all, these frontline animal protection workers don't get any extra income and have to endure wind and sun in the forest.

Therefore, those who remain are almost all sincere people who want to do something for the natural environment.

This was the first time Lin Xiao had encountered something so complicated.

Therefore, upon hearing Chu Lian's instructions, she immediately nodded obediently.

After all, she knew perfectly well who was good to her!

Seeing that she was so nice, Chu Lian's initial irritation finally subsided.

"I called you over here just to remind you!"

"During the investigation, just do your job as usual. As for their questions, cooperate if you can, and come find me if you can't."

After saying that, he waved his hand at her.

"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy."

Lin Xiao responded and then turned to leave, seemingly lost in thought.

Before she even stepped out the door, she heard the old headmaster muttering softly inside the house.

"Such a big thing happened, and that kid Lu hasn't even shown his face! Does he really expect me, an old man, to take his place?"

Lin Xiao stood in the open space in front of the office building, looking at the three people gathered not far away, who were obviously waiting for him, and couldn't help but slowly exhale.

I wanted to say that she was completely open and honest, and that the matter would be over once the investigation was completed.

But now it seems... there's still more trouble to come.

Just then, the investigation team that had been waiting for him below stepped over.

"Ms. Lin, would it be convenient for us to speak privately?"
