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

Chapter 306 Manor
After Lin Xiao got into the car, they were immediately taken to a magnificent manor.

As Lin Xiao stepped out of the car, she looked up and saw the gardeners and staff still busy at work in the manor.

The lawn in front of him was meticulously manicured, clearly not something someone like him, who had neither money nor power, could afford.

Lin Xiao glanced at it briefly before turning to look at the boss who was coming down from the other side.

"Your boss lives here?"

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked.

The leader, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, chuckled smugly.

Looking at the magnificent manor in front of him, his smugness became even more obvious.

"How about it? Not bad, right? I advise you to broaden your horizons and open your eyes now. Given your current situation, you wouldn't earn this much money even in eight hundred lifetimes."

After saying that, he stepped inside.

Upon seeing the vehicle arrive, the butler hurriedly came out of the room.

In an instant, the boss, who had been acting like a thug and extremely arrogant, softened his tone.

Even his speech carried a hint of ingratiating smile.

"Butler Lin, where is the boss?"

Lin Yi was dressed in a standard suit and bow tie, looking every bit the professional modern butler.

The other person bowed very respectfully to them and spoke in a very polite tone.

"I'm so sorry, young master had to return to China to take care of some urgent business. But he has already made arrangements, Miss Lin. You can stay here without worry during this period."

Lin Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not say anything in rebuttal.

It's better that this person isn't here; maybe it will give her a chance to explore the situation here.

The eldest brother, standing to the side, frowned deeply upon hearing this, his expression showing some difficulty. He couldn't help but ask, "Are we going to let him live here alone?"

"Will this..."

Lin Yi smiled calmly, "Sir, rest assured, if Miss Lin is still able to escape given the security level of our manor, then even if you keep an eye on her here, it won't do you any good."

Security facilities?

Lin Xiao pressed the tip of her tongue against her cheek and clicked her tongue in slight annoyance.

It seems... it's a very difficult problem for her to come and go freely here.

However, it's a good thing that these few troublesome mercenaries are gone.

Lin Xiao glanced at the boss's solemn face and gave a provocative smirk.

"Then I'll leave in your absence. But thank you all for your kind escort."

Seeing his expression, the eldest brother was furious, and in the end, he could only grit his teeth and squeeze out each word from his mouth.

"You're welcome!"

From that day on, Lin Xiao stayed at the manor.

Although they have no worries about food and clothing every day, and can even occasionally take a stroll in the garden below.

If Lin Xiao encountered this situation during a normal vacation, she would truly feel like she was in heaven.

Having enough to eat and wear, and not having to go out—what kind of person can enjoy such a life?
Unfortunately, she's currently preoccupied with the situation back home.

I don't know if the girl delivered the message as he instructed.

I wonder what the situation is like in China?

Have we found the third hideout that we identified during the previous interrogation?
……

Meanwhile, back in China, Lu Chengshen sat in his office with a dark expression, looking extremely irritable.

Wei Ming couldn't help but sigh when he saw him like this.

On the very day Lin Xiao disappeared, they searched the entire dock repeatedly, but found absolutely no trace of her. The only possibility was the ship that had quietly departed.

However, according to the data from the service center, there was only a father and daughter on the boat that night. They depended on each other for survival, and the boat was almost their only means of livelihood.

Moreover, the other party was very honest and would do any kind of hard or tiring work. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would conspire with bad people.

No matter how much they explained, the other party simply disappeared beforehand.

The police even issued a notice at the pier, urging anyone who spotted this person to report it to the police station immediately.

However, as time went by...

It's been almost half a month and there's still no news.

Lu Chengshen and the others grew increasingly impatient.

Just then, Lu Chengshen's phone rang, and a rather helpless voice came from the other end.

"How much longer will it take you here? I've managed to stabilize the situation for now, but I can't keep dragging this out indefinitely. It's been more than half a month already."

Lu Chengshen pinched his brow wearily, his voice tinged with a sticky, hoarse quality, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.

"I know, I'll handle it as soon as possible."

After a long silence, Lu Chengshen's deep voice came through the microphone again.

He said, "Brother, thank you!"

The person opposite him let out a faint chuckle, their tone filled with utter helplessness.

"It's really rare for you to call me 'brother' like that. But... no matter what, I'm still your brother. Alright, go home and see Mom and Dad when you need to! You're always hiding in the deep mountains and forests, you're practically a wild man."

The constant chatter of his family members caused a slight fluctuation in Lu Chengshen's emotions, which had been tense for nearly half a month.

He chuckled softly, then finally nodded, "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, the room fell into a stagnant, oppressive silence once again.

Just then, the office phone rang, and Wei Ming got up to answer it.

"what?!"

The sudden loud voice immediately drew everyone's attention.

The group of people, who had been sitting slumped and dejected at their workstations, suddenly turned around and stared at Wei Ming, who was on the phone.

Wei Ming seemed oblivious to their gazes and nodded excitedly.

"Okay, okay, I understand! You must keep them here. We'll be there right away."

As soon as Wei Ming hung up the phone, he looked up and met a group of bright, sparkling eyes.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath before he began to explain.

"The ship that left early has returned!"

"And the call I just received was from the service desk. They said a young girl came to the service desk specifically looking for someone named Lu Chengshen."

Lu Chengshen, who had been sitting there without any reaction, suddenly sat up straight.

The group exchanged glances, and without daring to delay, quickly turned and walked out of the police station.

The girl was led into the office by the staff at the service desk.

The little guy sat timidly in his seat, his eyes slightly lowered, intently picking at his fingernails.

The door was suddenly flung open, startling the girl sitting on the stool so much that she jumped to her feet.

A series of footsteps sounded from the doorway, and everyone hurriedly squeezed through the office door before their eyes fell on the little girl with yellowish skin and a slender figure.

"You, are you the girl?"

Thank you for your recommendation votes, my dears~
I've been working on two accounts recently, and my schedule seems to be a bit off. Please wait while I adjust, and I'll try to get back to a 4-day work week in the next couple of days.
