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

Chapter 357

Jakar looked at Lin Xiao with a hurt expression.

"You actually rejected me."

Lin Xiao smiled somewhat awkwardly, "These are all invitations from the national level, and it's not convenient for me to make a decision."

After saying that, she smiled very gently and directly invited, "However, as a friend, I would also very much welcome you to bring your country's experts to visit China."

"Everyone is doing their part to protect animals and nature, regardless of the location, right?"

The smile on Jakar's lips suddenly froze on his face.

Lin Xiao couldn't just accept the invitation, and he certainly couldn't either.

Looking at the smile on Lin Xiao's face, Gakar simply couldn't believe that he had been tricked.

He could only laugh awkwardly, silently chuckling as he let the matter drop.

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and gave him a half-smile, but didn't press the matter further.

He simply said goodbye and hurriedly returned to the embassy.

She needed to start packing her things and making arrangements to return to China.

However, before Lin Xiao returned to China, she unexpectedly received an invitation from Mingke.

Lin Xiao went over to take a look out of curiosity.

Mingke invited them to a very simple coffee shop.

Lin Xiao went inside, found Ming Ke's seat, and sat down directly opposite him.

She looked him up and down a few times before slowly speaking.

"Will the international police force undergo a major reshuffle after they return?"

Mingke took a sip of bitter coffee and gave a half-smile.

He lowered his eyes, placed the coffee cup in his hand, and then chuckled softly.

"Did you see it?"

"I never expected them to make things so complicated."

"It's only been a few years, but I never thought I would become an outsider in Interpol."

He gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He really didn't expect it.

He had only been infiltrating the organization for such a long time, yet his hometown had been robbed.

Lin Xiao looked at him thoughtfully, "Actually... if you can't stay abroad, you can come back to China anytime."

Mingke couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her serious expression.

"I haven't finished dealing with things with Interpol yet, how can I leave? Let's talk about this later."

"However... I heard you're going back."

When the topic of returning to China came up, Lin Xiao gripped the strap of her backpack, and her smile softened considerably.

"Yes! After being away for so long, I can finally go back."

Mingke remained silent for a long time, then finally picked up his coffee and softly said, "Have a safe trip!"

Lin Xiao's lips curved slightly. "Thank you!"

The arrangements for returning to China went very smoothly, and Lin Xiao boarded a plane back home almost that afternoon.

When we arrived in China, the sun had not yet risen, and the sky was still gloomy.

In the early morning, the cool air carried a refreshing chill, instantly waking up those who had stayed up late.

In the surrounding silence, stepping onto familiar ground again, even though there were no familiar faces around, inexplicably, made my heart feel grounded.

I felt exceptionally at ease.

Lin Xiao carried her luggage out, looking at the various people traveling with her, her face filled with inexplicable excitement.

Nearly a few months have passed since she left, but even so, Lin Xiao felt a strange excitement in her heart. The plane arrived at around 4 a.m., a time when all public transportation was not yet running, and there were relatively few taxis around.

Lin Xiao thought she would have to stay in the airport lobby until dawn before she could leave.

As soon as Lin Xiao walked past the exit, he immediately spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

Her steps suddenly stopped, and she instinctively froze on the spot.

Lu Chengshen?
Why is he here?

Lu Chengshen turned his head to look at her almost at the same time she looked over.

Their eyes met, and they both paused for a moment, instinctively.

Then, they both smiled, their lips curving upwards.

Lin Xiao quickened her pace, grabbed what she was carrying, and hurried over.

"How did you come?"

Lu Chengshen naturally took the things from her hands, turned around and walked out with her.

“I received a message from my brother a long time ago. He said you would probably be back soon.”

Lin Xiao listened to the other person's words, tilted her head, blinked, and clearly did not believe it.

Her return to China was almost entirely arranged by Liu Xin himself, and almost no one he knew knew about it.

Even if Brother Lu really helped deliver the message, it would be impossible for him to get such a precise moment.

Under Lin Xiao's unwavering gaze, Lu Chengshen coughed lightly, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Only then did he speak with great reluctance.

"I asked Liu Xin!"

"what?"

Lin Xiao's lips twitched, and she gave a perfunctory "oh" before quickly lowering her head.

How could she forget that, no matter what, Liu Xin and Lu Chengshen, although not in the same department, could still be considered colleagues?

However, because of this sentence, the atmosphere between the two fell into an eerie silence once again.

After the two left the airport, Lu Chengshen took Lin Xiao directly to the entrance of Xihai Zoo.

Because they received advance notice of Lin Xiao's return, the Xihai Zoo even left the gate open for her.

The car was parked at the entrance, and Lin Xiao could even see the lights in the security room next door with just a glance.

It's obvious who's the person pretending to be a security guard in that little room right now.
Lin Xiao chuckled and shook her head, then unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out.

Almost at the same time she got out of the car, Lu Chengshen also got out from the other side.

He walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, took out Lin Xiao's simple luggage, and handed it to her.

Lin Xiao was completely focused on looking at the old man in the security room and didn't think about anything else.

She didn't bring back much stuff to begin with.

I just grabbed a few shopping bags and put them in.

As Lin Xiao saw the man approaching, she instinctively reached out to take his hand.

As soon as she reached out and touched the man's warm palm, before she could even take the bag from his hand, the man grabbed her wrist, pulled her sharply, and dragged her directly into his arms.

The man felt the person in front of him, his arm around the girl's shoulder tightening until it trembled slightly.

"Fortunately, you're fine!"

Suddenly finding herself in a warm embrace, Lin Xiao was instinctively stunned for a moment.

But she only paused for a moment before relaxing completely.

She smiled and then gently placed her hand on the man's waist, closing her eyes and lightly rubbing against his shoulder.

The faint scent of laundry detergent lingered on her clothes, mingled with the man's warm breath, surrounding her, and Lin Xiao felt a sense of peace settle in her heart.

She chuckled softly and said slowly, "Lu Chengshen, I missed you!"
