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

Chapter 290 Asian Elephant

Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly, and she grabbed Lu Chengshen's wrist.

She said in a deep voice, "Minister Lu, aren't there several elephant nature reserves in Yunnan Province?"

"You mean...they got these ivory tusks from an animal sanctuary?"

"Of course, it's possible that it just hasn't happened yet..."

That would be blatant provocation.

Lu Chengshen frowned deeply, glanced at her intently, and then quickly took his phone and walked aside to make a call.

A short while later, he hung up the phone and came back over, his tone heavier than ever before.

"I just contacted the nature reserve there, and they said that no elephants that have been attacked have been found on the mountain so far."

"They will send people up the mountain to patrol today, hopefully none of this has happened yet."

Lin Xiao and Lu Chengshen exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.

Unfortunately, the two of them are still in this village and there is no time to get there in time.

Seeing the two people sighing and complaining, Zheng Guangsheng broke the heavy atmosphere by speaking directly.

“They’ve already taken action over there, so there shouldn’t be any major problems afterward. Can’t you two be a little more open-minded, always frowning?”

As he spoke, he called over Feng Cheng, and each of them pushed one of them towards the village.

Even from a distance, you could hear Zheng Guangsheng's unvarnished complaints.

"What's the use of you all being so anxious now? You might as well get a good night's sleep and talk about it tomorrow."

"Honestly, I hate people like you who have nothing to do but work!"

As Lin Xiao listened to the intermittent complaints around her, the corners of her lips curved slightly, revealing a subtle, almost imperceptible smile.

Also!

Worrying is pointless!
Silent all night.

The next day, Lin Xiao had just gotten up and was about to ask Lu Chengshen if there was any way to rush to the special elephant nature reserve.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw a blue Wuling van parked in front of the farmer's house.

Lin Xiao looked surprised and was about to speak when she saw Zheng Guangsheng open the car door and jump out with great style.

He patted the car beside him with a hint of pride. "How about it? The mode of transportation I found for you guys, not bad, right?"

Looking at his smug expression, Lin Xiao slowly formed a question mark on her forehead.

This... seems a bit too much, doesn't it?

Hearing the noise at the door, Lu Chengshen pushed the door open and came out.

As a result, I looked up and saw this blue tricycle.

Lin Xiao glanced at him somewhat resentfully and silently shut her mouth.

Thinking of the young master, who usually drives luxury cars, now...

She glanced at the tricycle in front of her that had already started operating the crane, and silently looked away.

Lu Chengshen's face was gloomy as he coldly looked at the instigator of this matter.

Zheng Guangsheng shrugged innocently.

"Minister Lu, don't look at me like that!"

"Although every household now has a car, most of the people in this village are middle-aged and elderly, and they don't keep their cars at home."

"This is something I specifically rented."

Zheng Guangsheng sighed deeply, "Why don't you just drive this car to the research center? Once you get there, you can switch to another car."

Feng Que originally intended to say goodbye to them, but upon arriving and seeing this car, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"If all else fails, you can drive my car for now."

As for the vehicle... everyone tacitly looked away, pretending not to have seen the tricycle.

"Thank you so much. What about Teacher Wen..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just tell the teacher tonight."

Watching everyone turn and leave, Zheng Guangsheng patted the tricycle beside him with some regret.

"What a pity that these people just don't know how to appreciate things!"

Upon hearing Zheng Guangsheng's mutterings, the group visibly froze for a moment, then pretended not to have heard anything and silently turned back to pack their luggage.

After they finished packing, Feng Que had already parked the car at the entrance of the village.

"Feng Que, thank you so much this time. You even accompanied us on a trip to Canglin," Lin Xiao said.

Feng Que smiled and waved his hand, "I'd rather be out and about, so my teachers won't have to keep me stuck in the lab all the time."

Fortunately, they didn't have much stuff to begin with, and they arrived in no time.

They first went to the conservation center.

However, they didn't go inside; they simply called the person in charge and waited at the door.

A short while later, Fang Bian rushed out with the box in his hand.

"After I got back yesterday, I handed this pendant over to everyone for inspection."

"Your pendant is milky white in color, with a soft and delicate texture, and the angle between the grain lines is greater than 90 degrees, with relatively wide spacing."

"These are all very typical characteristics of Asian elephant ivory."

"The trade in Asian elephant ivory is completely illegal now. So where did you get this ornament from?"

Lin Xiao's expression grew increasingly grim as she listened to the other party's explanation.

Only after hearing the last sentence did she manage a weak smile and reach out to take the jewelry.

"I obtained it by chance, and I hope you will not make a fuss about it, so as not to alert the enemy."

Upon hearing this, the other person immediately nodded in understanding.

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

Back in the car, Lin Xiao lowered her eyes and kept staring at the box in her hand.

These are indeed specially smuggled goods.

Unfortunately……

Lin Xiao sighed and silently put the item away.

He picked up again the list of nature reserves related to Asia that Lu Chengshen had temporarily collected this morning.

Compared to another western reserve that accounts for more than 60% of the country’s wild population, the Gunnan Reserve, where they were going today, seemed to be more convenient for that group to move around.

After all, the other western protected area is the only rainforest area in the country where wild Asian elephants can be safely observed, and it also has a special high-altitude observation boardwalk.

The Gunnan Nature Reserve, located near the border and with a complex environment, serves as a major migration route for cross-border species.

At the same time, it is also the place where they can most easily strike and escape.

They set off at around 10 a.m., and by the time they arrived at the Gunnan Nature Reserve, it was almost 6 a.m.

I rushed around all day with almost no rest.

The group got out of the car looking exhausted. The person in charge, who was waiting at the entrance of the reserve's office, rushed to greet them as if facing a formidable enemy.

"You must have had a long journey. We have arranged accommodations here, so why don't you go and get some rest?"

Although everyone was just riding in the car, they couldn't help but show signs of fatigue.

Lin Xiao wanted to find out the specifics first, but seeing the fatigue on everyone's faces, she could only swallow her words.

Anyway, they already sent people to investigate yesterday...

It's only one night, there shouldn't be any major problems... right?
