Chapter 362
The next day, around five or six o'clock, they packed their bags and prepared to go to Yunnan Province.
Unlike their first departure, this time they were only there to deal with the loose ends left behind, and of course, to reunite with Zheng Guangsheng and Wang Chusui.
Even Orange had a very cheerful smile on her face.
However, plans often fail to keep up with changes.
Although Lu Chengshen was full of hope to go to Yunnan Province with Lin Xiao, he received a call from his superiors before he could even set off.
"They came specifically for your subordinates, how can you, as their leader, not receive them?"
Lu Chengshen tried every excuse he could think of to keep delaying.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't bother arguing with him at all, and just angrily threw down the words, "You better get back here soon."
He spoke very loudly, and even Lin Xiao, who was standing next to him, could hear him clearly.
Lin Xiao turned her head, looked at the other person and blinked, her smile and teasing were very obvious.
Lu Chengshen held the phone in his palm, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself. In the end, he simply let out a helpless sigh, as if resigned to his fate.
"It seems I won't be able to go this time..."
Lu Chengshen's smile carried a hint of helplessness.
Nevertheless, he still gave Lin Xiao the contact information for the rescue center.
"I'll put in a good word with the rescue center. When you leave, just take the injured elephant with you."
Lin Xiao took the phone, glanced at it, and clicked save without hesitation.
She simply turned and confirmed with Lu Chengshen again.
"Then I can just call this number to contact them?"
Lu Chengshen nodded slightly as he watched Lin Xiao's focused expression.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Xiao lowered her eyes, put away her phone, and turned to check on how everyone was finishing up.
After taking only two steps, Lin Xiao felt a heat in her palm and immediately stopped and turned around.
She only saw the man standing behind her, slowly raising his eyes and looking at her with a helpless expression.
Lin Xiao blinked blankly, waiting for the other person to continue.
However, in the end, all that could be heard was Lu Chengshen's helpless sigh.
Under Lin Xiao's confused gaze, he gently pulled the person in front of him.
The man bent down slightly, glanced at her gently, and spoke again with earnestness.
"Be safe and come back soon."
Lin Xiao then realized what was happening and immediately felt both amused and helpless.
She raised her hand and patted the man who was holding her, her voice full of laughter.
"I understand. It's getting late, you should head back to Kyoto."
Lu Chengshen was pushed away abruptly, and he clicked his tongue in displeasure.
They held each other's hands for a long time, unwilling to let go.
Is this class absolutely necessary?!
Lu Chengshen hesitated, then could only helplessly let go of the other person's hand.
"Alright, let's go!"
After saying that, he turned around and got into the car next to him without looking back.
Lin Xiao watched the black car gradually disappear from sight before she couldn't help but smile slightly and shake her head helplessly.
I never expected... Lu Chengshen could be so childish.
Lin Xiao gestured for Chengzi to get in the car, then turned around and got into the car bound for Yunnan Province.
The zoo hired a special team to bring the elephant back.
They even hired a large truck specifically for this purpose.
As soon as Lin Xiao sat down, Chengzi, who was sitting next to her, leaned over with a curious look on her face. Her lips were tightly pursed, and it was clear that she was forcibly suppressing a smile.
Those curved eyes perfectly embodied the meaning of "gossip".
Lin Xiao ignored her expression and turned to tell the driver in front to start the car.
Before they even reached the exit, Wang Qing's anxious voice could be heard from outside.
Wang Qing rushed out of the zoo and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the car still parked at the intersection.
Because she had to stay at the zoo to handle the reception duties, she didn't have time to talk to them much.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Qing arrived, he went straight to Lin Xiao's side and knocked on the window.
Lin Xiao lowered the window and saw Wang Qing calm his breathing, peering at Lin Xiao expectantly through the window.
"Sister Xiao, I've even ordered a truck today. You can't possibly use an elephant for a truck, can you?"
Lin Xiao slowly typed out a question mark?
Even this elephant was something they found by luck. Is buying animals something you can just do on a whim?
How could Wang Qing not know what Lin Xiao was thinking?
If she could solve this problem, the zoo would have had many more animals than just these.
So after Wang Qing finished speaking, he didn't give Lin Xiao a chance to refute him at all, and then patted her hand very solemnly.
"Alright, I'm leaving this matter to you!"
After saying that, he gave the driver in front of him a look and then naturally stepped back into the crowd of people seeing them off.
Lin Xiao: ???
As the car drove off, Lin Xiao's face was filled with an indescribable expression.
She opened her mouth, but didn't know where to begin her complaint.
Orange was very happy to see this, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Xiao Jie has been gone for days; Wang Qing has been nagging her about it for who knows how many days.
Now, at least it won't happen to me...
Before Orange could wipe the smile off her face, she saw Lin Xiao raise his eyes and look over leisurely.
Her upturned lips suddenly froze, and she quickly sat back down in her seat, looking serious.
Lin Xiao looked utterly helpless.
But thinking of Wang Qing's words, he couldn't help but pinch his brow, feeling a headache coming on.
She knew that Wang Qing's concerns were valid.
However, when the nature of their zoo was determined, the comings and goings of animals in the zoo, which were more or less frequent, had already destined it to become this pattern.
For these animal rights activists, the decrease in the number of animals in their zoos is actually a good thing.
However, if we consider the zoo in front of us as a profit-making institution... it's probably going to go bankrupt!
Because another group of people came specifically to retrieve the elephants, they went to the rescue center beforehand.
After Lin Xiao made the call, the door in front of her opened from the inside shortly afterward.
A middle-aged man, dressed very neatly, stood at the door and looked around a few times before I finally focused my attention on the few people standing by the roadside.
"Hello, are you here for Duoduo?"
Dodo?
Seeing their gazes, the man realized he hadn't explained himself clearly, and then clarified, "It's the elephant you came to pick up."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
“Our rescue center was originally a temporary place for these injured animals.”
"But the elephant was too badly injured to be released back into the forest."
“We also contacted some zoos in the area, but most of them refused our request because Duoduo had too many scars on her face and looked very scary.”
"But thankfully you guys are here."
They had given up hope, but to their surprise, things took an unexpected turn, and they actually found a place for Duoduo to live.
