Chapter 309 Mingke is here?

Were they the buyers of those animals?

but……

Suddenly, a male voice broke Lin Xiao's thoughts.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Xiao suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked up to see Lin Yi standing in front of her.

He subconsciously looked at the spot where the three men had been standing, only to find that the two foreigners who had been there had left sometime earlier.

When Lin Yi realized that Lin Xiao did not answer, he turned his gaze to the maid beside him.

The maid bowed slightly and replied with great respect.

"Butler Lin, Miss Lin is just curious about the identities of those two people from earlier."

Lin Yi raised his voice slightly, "Oh? And what was your answer?"

The maid glanced at Lin Xiao nervously before whispering, "I... I just said these are two circus ringmasters."

Lin Yi let out a soft chuckle.

However, the words spoken were abruptly reversed, becoming extremely harsh.

"Don't you know what you should and shouldn't say? Didn't I know the host invited you here to reveal information like this?"

"No, Butler Lin, that's not what I meant."

Upon hearing the accusation, the maid couldn't help but shrink back and quickly pleaded.

"Miss Lin, please, please, I didn't mean to."

Despite the maid's repeated pleas, Lin Yi remained unmoved.

Looking at the other person's expression, Lin Xiao couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"I was the one who asked her the question, why are you blaming her?"

"Isn't I the one you should blame the most?"

Lin Yi bowed to her very respectfully, his voice neither humble nor arrogant.

“Miss Lin is a distinguished guest of the master. How could a distinguished guest be wrong? It’s just that these servants have been trained for so long, but I didn’t expect that they still can’t distinguish between what is important and what is urgent. I’m sorry that Miss Lin has to laugh at us.”

After saying that, he looked directly at the maid beside him and spoke coldly.

"I will settle your salary in full later, you don't need to come tomorrow."

After saying that, Lin Yi acted as if nothing had happened, bowed respectfully to Ling Xiao, and then turned to leave.

Lin Xiao took a sudden step forward, but in the end, she could only angrily throw the flower petals in her hand aside.

Damn it!
What kind of drama involves firing a maid?
Lin Yi was just trying to give her a warning, to make her behave herself in the manor for a while.

To pull such a stunt is truly insane.

The only pity is that maid who was fired...

Unfortunately, she's now in a predicament, barely able to save herself...

Ugh!
After this incident, Lin Xiao became even more estranged from the staff of the entire manor.

In many cases, we avoid contact altogether if possible.

One day, after lunch, Lin Xiao lay on the balcony, watching the orderly manor, still plotting how to escape.

"It looks like you're doing well here."

The cheerful, laughing male voice immediately caught Lin Xiao's attention.

She turned around abruptly and saw the man standing behind her; her eyes lit up instantly.

"Mingke? What are you doing here?"

Mingke held a blade of grass he had plucked from somewhere in his hand, a roguish smile on his face, as he casually leaned against the window next to the balcony.

Seeing the other person's bright eyes, he couldn't help but smile. "Why did I come here? It's all because of you."

"Your disappearance this time has alarmed quite a few people." "Huh?" Lin Xiao's eyes widened, a look of disbelief flashing across her face.

Just her?

It alarmed quite a few people?
Mingke really knows how to exaggerate.

However, Lin Xiao quickly stood up, glanced around warily, and then walked up to Ming Ke, asking in a low voice, "Is it alright to come over like this?"

"What's the problem?" Mingke interrupted Lin Xiao with a light laugh. "I was just curious about who the expert the boss invited was, so I came over to take a look. That's all. What problem could there be?"

Looking at Ming Ke's confident demeanor, Lin Xiao slowly developed a question mark on her forehead.

"Your current position in this organization is actually so high?"

"But...didn't you always want to get evidence of Beast Seeker's crimes? There's still no result."

Speaking of this, Mingke scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.

"That's a long story."

Actually, after he left the police station last time, he used the things Xu Yan left behind to jump off the cliff and stage a self-inflicted injury.

Unexpectedly, this self-inflicted injury actually won him the boss's favor.

They even went further, directly entering the management level of the entire organization.

Mingke thought that he had gathered enough evidence of the organization's wildlife trafficking, so he directly suggested to his superiors that he leave.

Unexpectedly, his superiors were worried that the organization had other branches and feared that they could not wipe them out in one fell swoop, so they told him to continue.

Mingke shrugged and, with a helpless expression, opened his hand on the person in front of him.

"So this is the scene you see now. I'm practically a minor leader in the whole organization now."

"If we keep going like this, it won't be long before we get a death sentence."

Lin Xiao listened to the other person's description and shook her head with amusement.

Having been locked up here for almost half a month, this is the first time I've laughed so easily.

only……

"Where is your boss? When the boss brought me here, he said your boss would personally recruit me, but I've been living here for so long and haven't even seen a trace of your boss."

When the boss was mentioned, Mingke's meaningful gaze slowly fell on her.

Lin Xiao was completely baffled.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mingke clicked his tongue lightly, "You haven't seen our boss for so long, isn't that all thanks to you?"

Under Lin Xiao's bewildered gaze, Ming Ke slowly spoke, "Recently, Rongsheng Group in China has run into a huge problem, and I heard it's being spearheaded by the Lu family. Didn't you know?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Lin Xiao's head.

The Lu family?

Promotion?

The combination of several unfamiliar yet familiar phrases gave her a vague sense of unease.

Is it what she thought?

Seeing Lin Xiao's questioning gaze, Ming Ke nodded without hesitation, directly eliminating the last possibility in her mind.

"It's the Lu family and Rong Sheng that you know!"

"Don't worry, they won't be back for now, but even if they do, they'll probably suffer a lot of losses this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingke's expression suddenly changed. He glanced at the doorway and immediately changed his tone.

"You're... the expert the boss brought in?"

His tone was flippant, his eyes full of mockery, and the words "I look down on you" practically emanated from his speech.

"I don't see anything special about it either?"
