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

Chapter 277 Comfort
Lin Xiao took the water glass, rinsed her mouth, and then leaned against the wall, closing her eyes to calm herself down.

Even in her previous life, she spent most of her time in the laboratory, occasionally participating in police pursuits.

I have never encountered a situation like this before.

When Lin Xiao calmed down and turned around, she found that the man beside her remained expressionless, as if he had long since become accustomed to what had happened that day.

but……

Have you encountered this situation before?

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengshen turned to look at the person beside him, surprised that she had adjusted so quickly.

He then leaned against the wall and nodded slightly.

The sound, filled with memories, was distant and slow.

"That happened four years ago."

At that time, he was just a novice clerk.

They are wholeheartedly trying to climb up the ladder.

Unfortunately, his family did not approve of his single-minded pursuit of this career. Coincidentally, a truck illegally transporting protected animals was seized in the south at that time.

I heard the scene was horrific.

So the Lu family sent him over without hesitation, hoping to dissuade him from this idea.

When he arrived, the truck had overturned on its side. The staff forced the truck to stop and subdued the driver.

However, the truck driver refused to hand over the keys to the cargo compartment, leaving the police with no choice but to break the lock by force.

However, as the truck's cargo compartment opened, a strong stench wafted out.

Inside the carriage, there were piles and piles of all kinds of animal hides, while the separated flesh and blood were simply thrown aside.

Cages of all sizes were simply tossed into this pile of animal hides.

Adding to the fact that it was summer, the stench of decay mixed with the smell of blood filled the two carriages, making everyone who saw it feel nauseous.

Now, thinking of that scene, Lu Chengshen couldn't help but frown.

Fortunately, the officers on the front lines were used to these kinds of things. Apart from some officers who had just joined the station, the others, although they looked unwell, did not show much reaction.

On the contrary, the animal experts who were invited to help vomited violently when they saw the scene inside the vehicle.

Later, it was found that there were more than eighty pieces of animal skins of various kinds, such as tiger skin, deer skin, and mink skin, on the vehicle.

The animals kept in cages are not small, rare, or protected species like sable, red fox, or macaw; there are more than a dozen cages of various sizes.

When the police pulled them out one by one, the little guys in the cage were terrified and huddled in a corner.

They immediately became alert when they saw these people make even the slightest movement.

There was even a sable that lingered, looking longingly in the direction of the truck, unwilling to leave.

An old expert sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said that the sable's relatives were probably among these animal skins.

Later, Lu Chengshen pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind to deal with these bastards who secretly poached and sold the country's biological resources.

The Lu family originally intended to use this opportunity to bring him back to the company, but unexpectedly it strengthened his resolve.

It was precisely because of this that the Lu family realized that Lu Chengshen really wanted to do this.

It's not just something those rich kids and playboys casually say.

From that point on, the Lu family never interfered in his affairs again.

Of course, there's no need to say more about what follows.

Lu Chengshen tried to keep his tone light, so the corners of his lips were always slightly curved.

"When I first saw this scene, my reaction was not much different from Orange's."

"On the contrary, I was very surprised that you didn't react at all."

Lin Xiao knew that Lu Chengshen was trying to comfort her, and chuckled in agreement.

"Perhaps the shock made me forget my other reactions, or perhaps I was just too busy and didn't have time to think about anything else."

But... Lin Xiao's smile vanished in an instant, replaced by an unspeakable worry.

"But... has the police said anything about this?"

Lu Chengshen shook his head. "There are no signs of anyone walking around. This huge pile of corpses seems to have fallen from the sky."

Falling from the sky?

Lin Xiao's smile now carried a hint of helplessness.

They really dare to say things that seem to come out of nowhere.

However, in a flash, an idea suddenly popped into Lin Xiao's mind.

No, it might actually fall from the sky.

Especially considering that last time on the mountain, that group of people could even send out helicopters, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to drop these things in the forest.

But... if that's the case, what exactly is the purpose of those people doing these things?
The smile on Lin Xiao's lips slowly faded, her brows furrowed, completely lost in her own thoughts.

Just then, the hand resting on the knee was gently patted.

Lin Xiao jolted awake, instantly snapping out of her reverie.

She stared blankly at the man's large hand that landed on the back of her hand, then slowly raised her eyes to look at his gentle face.

Lu Chengshen smiled, raised his hand and gently patted the back of her hand before speaking again.

"Alright, it's getting late! We have to go up the mountain tomorrow, so get some rest."

After saying that, Lu Chengshen got up and walked towards his room.

Lin Xiao subconsciously stood up and called out Lu Chengshen's name.

"I……"

Lu Chengshen stood at the door of the room, turned around with a light laugh, and silently waited for her to say what she would say next.

Lin Xiao opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

In the end, he simply smiled gently and shook his head.

"It's okay! Goodnight!"

Lu Chengshen raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly not expecting to hear only this sentence.

He smiled, said nothing more, and simply replied, "Goodnight."

Watching Lu Chengshen leave, Lin Xiao looked down at the paper cup in her hand, a self-deprecating smile playing on her lips, and banished all the jumbled thoughts from her mind.

I'm going crazy, my mind is full of all sorts of crazy ideas.

Lin Xiao patted her head and turned to go back to her room.

However, after chatting with Lu Chengshen for a while, the irritability in my heart seemed to dissipate quite a bit.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, around seven o'clock, the group of them walked out of the gate one after another.

Feng Cheng's face was pale, still recovering from yesterday's shock. In addition, it was pitch black under her eyes, so it was obvious that she hadn't slept well last night.

Seeing her like this, Lin Xiao hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help it and helplessly pulled her aside.

"What's going on with you?"

Feng Cheng frowned, her right hand constantly tracing patterns on her arm, looking terrified.

"Sister Xiao, I had nightmares all night last night."

Lin Xiao looked helpless.

However, she knew even more clearly in her heart that Feng Cheng was standing here because of her.

She sighed, "Don't go up the mountain today..."

"But..." Orange wanted to argue, but Lin Xiao made a firm decision.

"Here's what we'll do: you can stay and rest today."
