Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing the lion calm down under Xia Xin’s soothing touch, she smiled with relief and gently stroked its head. She said, “You can trust me. Maybe others have deceived you, but I absolutely won’t.”

The onlookers were amazed to see that the lion had quieted down under Xia Xin’s reassurance.

Xia Xin instructed the lion’s keeper, “It has calmed down. It just gave birth recently. When you take it back, be careful and don’t hurt it. It won’t harm anyone anymore.”

The lion’s keeper was a fellow colleague who had started at the same time as Xia Xin. He was tall and burly, looking at Xia Xin in astonishment. He said, “I never thought someone as petite as you would be able to tame such a fierce lion. Although it’s already the most docile lion in the zoo, getting it to calm down is quite a challenge. You’re really impressive.”

Xia Xin modestly smiled.

The variety show still needed to continue filming, and there were still many audience members present. Although Jing MO was concerned about Xia Xin, he didn’t approach her to avoid arousing suspicion. He watched from a distance, relieved to see her unharmed.

After handling these matters, Xia Xin had to attend to something even more important—catching the culprit.

Xia Xin went to the zoo director’s office, where Lu Yuan was watching the lion enclosure’s every move through surveillance cameras. When Xia Xin arrived, he couldn’t help but praise her, “That scene just now was truly thrilling. Xia Xin, you’re quite courageous. You dared to approach a lion in such an agitated state. Weren’t you afraid it might actually harm you?”

Xia Xin thought to herself that she was indeed afraid. If she didn’t have the

Beast Language System protecting her, she wouldn’t have dared to get close.

Xia Xin explained, “Mr. Lu, I’ve already learned the reason behind the lion’s sudden rampage. It smelled its cub’s scent on me, so it must have thought I stole its cub, which is why it was so furious.”

Lu Yuan was astonished. He asked, “Has a lion given birth recently in the lion enclosure? I had no idea about that. I recall the lion keepers told me about a lion that had a difficult birth, and the cub died inside its womb. Could it be that lion?”

It seemed that someone had tampered with things right under Lu Yuan’s nose.

The lion had given birth about half a month ago, even before the filming of the first episode had begun. That person couldn’t have known in advance about the show’s recording schedule. Thus, their intention in stealing the lion cub couldn’t have been to frame Xia Xin; instead, they likely aimed to steal the lion cub and sell it.

Smuggling animals was a criminal offense.

Xia Xin said cautiously, “Mr. Lu, it seems we need to thoroughly investigate where the lion cub went. However, the most urgent matter now is to apprehend the mastermind behind this.”

Lu Yuan nodded and then dialed Tang Hai’s phone number.

Tang Hail s voice sounded normal on the other end. There was nothing suspicious, and his tone was simple and honest. No one would suspect that he was the one orchestrating these malicious actions. He asked, “Mr. Lu, is there something you need?”

Lu Yuan asked, “Where are you right now?”

Tang Hai didn’t detect anything amiss and truthfully replied, “I’m cleaning the tiger enclosure.”

Tang Hai had always been responsible for taking care of these ferocious animals and cleaning their enclosures. He had been doing an excellent job for many years without any mistakes, so Lu Yuan had complete trust in him.

Lu Yuan continued, “Put aside what you’re doing for now and come to the office. I have something to discuss with you.”

“Sure,” said Tang Hai.

Around twenty minutes after hanging up the phone, Tang Hai arrived at the office.

Seeing Xia Xin, Tang Hai appeared slightly surprised. He said, “Xia Xin, you’ve already come to work at the zoo with your leg healed? You’re really dedicated. Mr. Lu, you should consider giving her a raise.”

Tang Hail s tone was casual, as though his previous strong insistence on taking Xia Xin to the hospital or visiting her at home had never happened. He behaved as though there were two completely different sides to him.

Looking at Tang Hai, Xia Xin asked, “How did you know my leg was better?”

Tang Hai was puzzled. He said, “I saw you walking without any problems, so I guessed your leg had healed. Is there a problem?”

Seeing Tang Hails innocent expression, Xia Xin genuinely began to doubt whether she had misjudged him. He really didn’t seem like someone capable of committing those acts.

With a stern expression, Xia Xin asked, “Tang Hai, are you still going to pretend?”

Tang Hai didn’t understand her meaning and asked, “Xia Xin, what are you trying to say? I really don’t understand..”
