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

Chapter 457 Finale
Lu Chengshen slowly tightened his grip.

The tightly wrapped coats seemed to form a barrier between the two of them, completely enveloping them.

With a "whoosh," a bright flame shot straight into the sky and then burst open.

The red fireworks crackled and fell, illuminating the two people embracing tightly on the rooftop.

Lin Xiao wore a faint smile as she felt the festive atmosphere of the New Year around her.

Standing here, she could even see very clearly that every house around her was brightly lit, and occasionally she could see people gathered together laughing under the bright lights.

In the past, at times like this, she always felt like an outsider, watching the people around her laugh and reunite.

No matter how strong and used to it she is, she inevitably feels disappointed and lonely at times like these.

But today...

She now has someone by her side...

Suddenly, the man who was holding him tightly released his arms.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned around to look.

But unexpectedly, they met a pair of dark eyes.

Those eyes were completely different from their usual calm and serious demeanor; now, only a faint smile and an indescribable tenderness remained.

He chuckled softly and quickly took a step back.

Seeing the man's actions, Lin Xiao froze on the spot.

My heart was pounding wildly, as if it were out of control.

Although Lu Chengshen did not tell her in advance what he was planning to do.

But now, seeing the man's actions, she had a very clear guess in her mind.

He is...

Sure enough, the man knelt down on one knee with a smile the next second.

He then raised his hand and took a small red box out of his pocket.

"I am so fortunate to have met someone in this life who shares my aspirations and walks forward side by side with me."

"So, Comrade Lin Xiao, can I walk with you through the rest of your life?"

Lin Xiao was initially touched when she saw the ring the other person took out.

But when she heard the other party propose, she was at a loss for words, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Although Lu Chengshen had always seemed like a rather old-fashioned person to her, she never expected his marriage proposal to be so...

Lin Xiao covered her eyes and smiled helplessly.

Despite this, she still very cooperatively extended her left hand.

"Alright!" Lin Xiao nodded seriously. "The organization has agreed for now, but we'll need to continue to investigate further."

Lu Chengshen smiled and grasped the hand Lin Xiao offered him. "Okay, try not to make any mistakes and get promoted as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he slipped the ring onto Lin Xiao's middle finger, took her arm, and pulled her into his embrace.

After learning of Lu Chengshen's proposal, the Lu family immediately put the engagement and wedding on the agenda.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiao and Lu Chengshen didn't have much vacation time at all. The two of them were flying all over the country, and the wedding arrangements fell entirely on Lu's parents' shoulders.

Lu's mother had lost count of how many times she had scolded Lu Chengshen over the phone.

"You're so busy with work all day long, you don't care about the wedding at all. People who don't know better would think it's your dad and me getting married."

Lu's mother's voice rang out over the phone, loud enough to be heard throughout the entire dormitory.

Lin Xiao had just pushed the door open when she heard those words.

She paused, and when she looked up, she saw Lu Chengshen's bright eyes.

Lu Chengshen was about to pull Lin Xiao over to save her life.

His mother liked Lin Xiao the most and always spoke to her very gently.

As long as she comes, he will never have a temper.

But before he could even utter a word, he saw the person standing at the door give him a smiling look, then turn around without any politeness, push open the door, and walk out of the dormitory.

At a time like this, talking about sharing both good times and bad is just plain stupid.

Besides, she's Lu Chengshen's mother; she wouldn't do anything to the child no matter what...

Lu Chengshen came out of the room ten minutes later.

As soon as he stepped out of his room, he saw a person leaning against the corridor wall, holding a mobile phone.

He sighed silently before walking over.

Lin Xiao looked up and saw it was him, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Finished?"

"It's over!" Lu Chengshen's tone was full of helplessness. He raised his hand and gently tapped her brow. "Why did you run away? Besides, do you really not care about this wedding at all?"

Lin Xiao pursed her lips, put down her pretentious phone, and looked at the person in front of her, hesitant to speak.

In the end, he could only sigh silently.

"It's not that I don't care, it's just that I feel this matter seems a bit too troublesome."

She has been alone almost all her life.

Therefore, any ceremony or custom is usually simplified.

Sometimes, she would simply let it go, pretending it didn't exist. To her, these things were nothing more than tedious tasks.

Even now, although there are people by her side, walking forward with her, it is still somewhat difficult for her to face a large number of people and situations where personal relationships are everywhere.

However, for the Lu family, social interactions are an indispensable part of life.

So all she can do now is stay as far away as possible.

As for Lu Chengshen...

Lu Chengshen sighed silently as he watched Lin Xiao fidgeting with her head down, looking conflicted.

He took a step forward and gently embraced the person in front of him.

His tone was gentle, and his warm voice even carried a hint of helpless laughter.

"If you don't want to participate, then we won't. Besides, aren't we the same kind of people?"

"If it weren't for my brother and his family insisting that I get involved in this, I wouldn't have bothered with it at all!"

Once both of them had calmed down, Lu Chengshen let go of the other's hand. "Let's go. It's warm now, but it's still a bit too chilly at night."

The two turned around together.

However, neither of them expected that what they were discussing today would actually come true.

This wedding really had nothing to do with the two of them.

Three years is a long time, but it's also not a short time.

But three years is enough for a person to completely change their lifestyle.

For example... Feng Cheng!
During these three years, Feng Cheng has become a very famous wildlife photographer.

She spent several years wandering in the Arctic, and won first place in two international wildlife photography competitions that year with a photo of a polar bear mother that she captured by chance.

Lin Xiao had seen this photo by chance.

In the photo, the polar bear mother has just finished feeding her two cubs.

The two little ones nestled affectionately in their mother's arms.

It's unclear whether their movements inadvertently startled the polar bear in front of them.

The polar bear mother turned around with a serious expression and looked in their direction. The photo captures that moment.

In the biting cold wind, the polar bear mother turned around with a serious expression, looking like a woman who had been working outside and whose face was full of hardship.

This photo truly deserves its award.

However, since receiving the award, Feng Cheng has become extremely elusive.

It almost always takes a long time before I hear news from her.

Needless to say, this guy, along with his accomplice, went off to take pictures in some hidden corner of the cat market.

So when Lin Xiao heard that Feng Cheng would actually attend their wedding, she was quite flattered.

Even when they arrived at the airport to pick him up, Lin Xiao was still full of doubt, pulling Lu Chengshen aside to confirm countless times.

Lu Chengshen was speechless after being questioned so many times.

Fortunately, Feng Cheng got off the plane just in time; otherwise, Lu Chengshen would have been dragged around and had to repeat himself countless times!
Feng Cheng was wearing a light gray windbreaker, a knitted hat, and even had an earphone hanging from her ear.

She exuded a distant aura, a stark contrast to the person I first met, who was dressed in a cute and sweet short skirt, holding up her phone to introduce tourist attractions to her fans in the live stream.

The other person came out, seemingly unaware of their situation, and simply stood there taking out their phone.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile, then turned and walked away.

"orange!"

Hearing the surprised voice, Feng Cheng subconsciously turned her head and, sure enough, saw Lin Xiao with a smile on her face.

The indifference and aloofness that had been on his face vanished completely in an instant.

She immediately flashed a bright smile and ran excitedly towards Lin Xiao.

Finally, she leaped forward and landed on Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was jolted back a step by the impact, but still managed to catch her perfectly.

Only Lu Chengshen, standing behind Lin Xiao, couldn't help but let out a soft click of his tongue.

He rubbed his fingers together, looking at the person who was holding Lin Xiao like a big piece of chewing gum.

I'm getting a little itchy!
He tried to hold back, but he couldn't resist.

He couldn't help but take a step forward and yanked the person clinging to Lin Xiao off. "Alright, alright, you're a grown man, aren't you ashamed to cling to someone like this?"

I wonder if it's because Lu Chengshen always looked very serious when we met before, because his influence still lingers.

Feng Chengxin rolled her eyes at Lu Chengshen reluctantly, but still stood next to Lin Xiao in a very cooperative manner.

However, he never let go of Lin Xiao's right arm.

He even clung to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao hadn't seen the other person for a long time and had a lot to say.

So the two of them simply leaned against each other and turned to leave.

They completely forgot about the people behind them.

Lu Chengshen: ...

He glanced at Feng Cheng's luggage, which had been left on the ground beside him, and then at the person who had turned and left, completely forgetting about him.

He took a deep breath, silently picked up Feng Cheng's suitcase, and walked over.

Finally, as they walked along, the day of their wedding arrived amidst a mix of anxiety and tension.

Because Lin Xiao usually lives in the dormitory of Xihai Zoo, for convenience, Lu's parents specially vacated a hotel for Lin Xiao to get married.

The night before the wedding, Feng Cheng and Wang Qing stayed in Lin Xiao's room to keep her company.

It wasn't until Lin Xiao had turned over for what felt like the umpteenth time that the two people lying on the bed next to her finally couldn't help but sit up.

"Sister Xiao, what's wrong? Can't you sleep?"

Lin Xiao chuckled softly and lowered her head, saying, "No matter what, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Can't I be nervous?"

After saying that, he rolled out of bed and grabbed his coat.

"You guys go to sleep first, I'm going out for some fresh air."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked out without waiting for them to speak.

Wang Qing sat on the bed, exchanging glances with Feng Cheng beside her. She was just about to suggest that they go out and take a look.

Then they saw Feng Cheng lie back down on the bed without any politeness, and even her tone of voice was completely indifferent.

"Alright, alright, time to sleep!"

Wang Qing looked worried. "Should we go out and take a look?"

Feng Cheng, however, strongly disagreed.

"Sister Xiao has been through so much, does she really need us two newbies to give her advice?"

She patted Wang Qing's arm without any hesitation, her tone very firm.

"Let me tell you, Sister Xiao, this is a perfectly normal pre-wedding jitter. It's just simple nervousness, really nothing to worry about!"

Although Feng Cheng isn't very reliable, she was right about what she said today.

Even now, Lin Xiao still feels as if everything before her eyes is a dream.

Getting married and starting a family was something that used to be almost a dream for her.

Intimate relationships alone are enough to be the most formidable obstacle.

But there was one person who dispelled all her anxieties!

Thinking of Lu Chengshen, a smile inexplicably flashed through her mind.

Just then, a very familiar male voice suddenly rang in my ears.

"Aren't you going to bed so late?"

Lin Xiao paused, then her eyes widened immediately.

She turned around in disbelief and, sure enough, saw Lu Chengshen standing at the entrance to the terrace.

He frowned subconsciously when he saw Lin Xiao's pajamas, and immediately took off the clothes he was holding and draped them over her shoulder.

"I knew you wouldn't sleep well tonight."

Lin Xiao watched as the man frowned and straightened her clothes, and she suddenly chuckled softly.

She tiptoed and suddenly kissed the man on the corner of his mouth.

She smiled slightly, her tone extremely relaxed.

"Lu Chengshen, thank you."

Lu Chengshen glanced at her with a half-smile, and couldn't help but tease her softly, "Thank you? Isn't your thanks a bit too perfunctory?"

Their eyes met, and he couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

He sighed and immediately reached out to pull the person beside him into his arms.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything tomorrow!"

"Even if all else fails... we still have our parents and brother."

Lin Xiao gave him a look that was hard to describe.

This person really doesn't hold back when it comes to ripping off their own family.

What Lin Xiao didn't expect was that the very next day, after she said those words, she became Lu Chengshen's accomplice!

Lu Chengshen smiled and patted her shoulder, "Feeling better now? Go and get some rest."

Seeing them walk towards the door, the two people who were secretly hiding by the door couldn't help but take a deep breath, then quickly turned around and ran back.

Back in the room, before the two of them could even catch their breath, Feng Cheng patted Wang Qing on the shoulder with a smug look on her face, "See? I told you so!"

"Alright, alright, go to sleep now."

When Lin Xiao returned, the room lights weren't even on, so she didn't notice that the two people next to her had already secretly gone out.

The wedding went very smoothly the next day.

No matter what, this was arranged by Lu's parents with a lot of effort.

Until... a phone call shattered the tranquility of the dressing room.

“We spotted a truck transporting wild animals on the highway, which appears to be involved in cross-border trade. We need you to come and identify and relocate the animals. Are you available now?”

Lin Xiao stood up abruptly and nodded subconsciously.

But after he finished speaking, he noticed Feng Cheng and Wang Qing staring at him in disbelief.

Lin Xiao frowned, just as she was thinking of finding someone to replace him, when she saw Lu Chengshen push open the door and walk in with a solemn expression.

"Have you received the message? They suspect this shipment is related to a dark web organization we investigated before, so they want us to go there in person to check it out."

Lin Xiao frowned.

She looked at her wedding dress, then at the other person's clothes, and her expression was somewhat complicated.

How likely do you think it is that we'll just walk away now?

Lin Xiao had only asked tentatively, but the person standing next to her couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's naturally...one hundred percent!"

After saying that, he immediately added, "Change your clothes first, I'll come find you in a bit."

A short while later, when Lu Chengshen came back, he had already changed into his usual clothes for the trip. Even Wang Chusui and the others had changed their clothes and followed him.

Although Lu Chengshen seemed very reliable, Lin Xiao couldn't help but have some doubts.

"Are we really okay leaving like this?"

Are you sure you can keep that thing?

"Sure, sure!"

Meanwhile, Lu's parents watched the video left behind by their son and were so angry that they didn't say a word for a long time.

"This brat..."

Mr. Lu, on the contrary, looked calm, as if he had long been used to his child's stubbornness.

After all, they tried everything to suppress it back then, but to this extent...

That's perfectly normal!

He sighed and earnestly began to comfort his wife.

"It's alright, at least he left you with this video. Anyway, neither of them was really interested in the wedding before, and now they just have more important things to do."

"No doubt, this was that brat's idea. He's corrupted Xiaoxiao!"

Mr. Lu smiled and shook his head before getting up and following his wife out.

He could tell that although his wife was sharp-tongued, she genuinely cared for the two children.

After all, you have to be available at any time during your honeymoon, not to mention how hard you work on ordinary days!
Ugh!
Meanwhile, Lu Chengshen and his group had arrived at the location where the police were blocking the traffic for the large trucks.

They carefully inspected the various animals on the truck.

Lin Xiao got out of the car with a solemn expression.

"All of them are protected animals unique to my country. At the very least, these animals are Class II protected animals."

"Look, this is the statement that the police took during their impromptu questioning just now."

"Another shipment going overseas?!"

Lin Xiao looked surprised, but when she turned to look at Lu Chengshen, her expression had turned to one of helplessness.

It seems that after the "Beast Seeker" incident and the decline of the Shen family, another organization has seized this market.

Lin Xiao sighed helplessly.

Let's keep going!

Where there is buying and selling, and profit, there will naturally be people willing to take risks.

Where crime occurs, there will always be guardians who stop it, protecting the area with unwavering dedication and never giving up!
