Chapter 384

Sitting in the conference room, Yang Xiaofang looked at the spacious conference table in front of her, fiddling with the paper cup in front of her that was still slightly warm, her thoughts wandering off somewhere else.

She still can't understand why she caught the police's eye.

Suddenly, the office door opened, and Yang Xiaofang, as if startled, sat up straight and turned to look at the doorway.

Lin Xiao was followed by two men who walked in from outside.

Those two men were the same two he had seen outside earlier.

Yang Xiaofang's palms were damp and icy cold.

She unconsciously hugged the cup in her hands tightly, her whole body visibly tense and stiff.

Even the silence in the conference room at this moment seemed to have become a strange sense of oppression.

Just as she was pondering what the other person was about to say, a soft meow broke the tense atmosphere.

Yang Xiaofang looked up in surprise and saw a small head pop out of Lin Xiao's arms.

The little guy wasn't scared at all. He put his two front paws on Lin Xiao's arm and lifted his little head out of her arms.

Immediately afterwards, when she looked up and saw the person sitting opposite her, her round little eyes suddenly lit up, and her shouts became a few degrees louder.

"Meow!"

"Xiaoxiao, look, it's your older sister!"

She called out and waved her little paws, trying to greet the other person.

She learned this from Xiaoxiao; that's how humans greet each other.

Seeing the kitten raise its front paw, Lin Xiao immediately grabbed the kitten's little hand with lightning speed.

The kitten looked up, a little confused, and saw Lin Xiao expressionlessly pinching its little paw and waving at Yang Xiaofang.

The kitten's puzzled expression immediately turned joyful again.

Sure enough, she and Xiaoxiao were on the same wavelength.

Even greetings are like that!
Lin Xiao closed her eyes and slowly exhaled.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly.

If this cat were to be discovered, it could greet people like a human would, and they would have to send it to be sliced ​​up.

Lin Xiao cleared her throat before taking the initiative to explain to the person in front of her.

"The little one is greeting you. Perhaps you've been taking very good care of her lately."

When the kitten was mentioned, Yang Xiaofang's initial worries and tension disappeared considerably.

She smiled and said, "She's very well-behaved and doesn't need me to do much at all."

"But after I brought him to the company, he became a little mischievous and tried to escape almost every day."

After Yang Xiaofang finished speaking, she subconsciously paused for a moment.

prison Break?

Thinking of the places the kitten had always escaped from, she looked at the people in front of her with some uncertainty, her voice tinged with doubt.

Could it be what she thought?
“In our company, this cat has been trying to escape from the pet area, and not only that, it even tries to run to the first floor every time.”

"Could it be..."

She frowned, hesitant to speak, unsure whether to continue.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao's very calm voice rang in my ears immediately afterward.

"Yes, that's right! Just what you think."

"This little cat is our little detective!"

Hearing Lin Xiao's praise, the little kitten nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, that's right! I am the little detective."

Lin Xiao gently rubbed the cute little guy before slowly beginning to explain.

"Do you remember what I told you before, that we were investigating a poaching case?"

Yang Xiaofang nodded. This was what puzzled her.

Wasn't the plan to investigate poaching cases?

Why is she involved with her company?
The company she works for is a real estate company, and it has absolutely nothing to do with animals or anything like that.

Why did this group of people approach this company?

Just as Yang Xiaofang was racking her brains, she heard Lin Xiao speak up without any hesitation.

"Do you know where all the protected animals stolen by people throughout Yunnan Province are transferred and disposed of?"

Just as Yang Xiaofang was about to say she didn't know, she couldn't help but think of the stairwell leading to the basement that they had seen when they were looking for the cat.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, the stairwell seemed to be locked all the time, but recently, for some unknown reason, it started to be opened during the day.

Not only that, this basement seemed to be completely separate from their company. When asked, even long-time employees who had worked there for many years had no idea where the stairwell led.

Yang Xiaofang's open mouth closed silently, and her expression became somewhat blank.

Why, how could this happen?
No, not possible!
"You must have made a mistake."

She looked terrified and quickly shook her head, trying to completely deny the thoughts in her mind.

pity……

Seeing her reaction, Lin Xiao didn't say anything more, but just sighed softly.

"It seems... you've figured it out."

Yang Xiaofang looked dazed, her mind a jumbled mess.

Isn't Rong Sheng a big company? Doesn't it have the Rong family behind it?
How could such a family do such dirty and despicable things?
Yang Xiaofang still wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? This is a subsidiary of Rong Sheng. The Rong family is already so rich, how could they do such despicable things? You must be mistaken."

Lin Xiao's expression remained calm.

"Do you know that the Rong family is currently under investigation? The reason is that they embezzled state assets."

Yang Xiaofang lowered her head and did not refute.

Lin Xiao smiled. "Besides, have you ever thought about how the Rong family became rich?"

Do you know how much of their total income comes from trafficking wild animals?

“Rong Xunsheng of the Rong family has been arrested in Xinzhou on charges of trafficking and poaching wild animals. Of course, another possible reason is tax evasion.”

As they spoke, Lin Xiao handed several photos to the other person, saying, "Take a look for yourself. These were all made by people hired by the Rong family."

Yang Xiaofang looked at the photo in her hand, feeling her palms trembling.

Elephants with their heads cut off and tusks pulled out, tigers with their skins peeled off, golden monkeys being slaughtered indiscriminately... and so on.

Yang Xiaofang was pale and looked at the photo in her hand for a while to calm herself down.

Finally, she closed her eyes, let out a long breath, and looked up at the three people in front of her again.

"So, what exactly do you want from me?"

His tone also returned to its usual rationality and seriousness.

Seeing how quickly the other person calmed down, Lin Xiao's expression showed more appreciation.

only……

"Don't worry, I can tell you the truth, we really need your help."

"We approached you because we trust your abilities and character. I believe you won't let us down, right?"

Seeing Lin Xiao's unwavering gaze, Yang Xiaofang lowered her eyes and glanced at the bloody photos in her hand.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she took a deep breath.

"I assure you, not a single word of today's conversation will be leaked, but... what can I do for you?"

Lin Xiao, Zheng Guangsheng, and Wang Chusui exchanged glances, and their previously anxious hearts finally settled down.

Their efforts weren't in vain!
