Editor: Atlas Studios
Wen Xian frowned slightly.
She faintly felt it looked familiar, as if she had seen the item on that plate sowhere before.
The man in black was quickly heading into a private room.
Wen Xian withdrew her gaze and noticed that Lu Xiao was holding his phone, his expression sowhat solemn, evidently looking at sothing.
She hesitated for a mont but couldn’t help asking, “Lu Xiao, do you know what animal’s at… um, looks like it has thumbnail-sized scales and grooves?”
As soon as she said this, Lu Xiao, who had been checking a ssage from Sang Nian, froze for a mont, then slowly looked up with tightened brows, “…What did you say? Sothing like scale armor patterns?”
Wen Xian: “…”
Why did his face suddenly change, was there sothing special?
She paused her tone for a mont, nodded, and added, “Right, the at was dark red too. What animal’s at around here looks like that?”
As she spoke, her gaze shifted towards the direction of a private room.
But Lu Xiao, as if realizing sothing, suddenly turned around, and when he faced her again, his dark fierce eyes were filled with seriousness, “Tell , what did you see?”
Seeing the change in his emotions, Wen Xian started to stutter sowhat, hurriedly pointing with her chopsticks toward the second private room, “Just now, soone ca in carrying a tray and walked that way, I thought the at he was carrying looked a bit strange.”
The mory of that thing seed to resonate in her mind, yet she couldn’t rember what it was for the mont.
It seed like she had seen it before at so grand leaders’ banquets within certain circles.
But at such events, she hardly ate and only drank.
That’s when Lu Xiao abruptly stood up, his face dark and grim, and headed towards that private room.
Wen Xian was stunned for a mont, then quickly got up and followed him.
“Lu Xiao! Lu Xiao! What are you doing?”
She hurriedly followed him and asked.
But Lu Xiao suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and said, “I suspect it’s pangolin at. I’m going to check it out now. You wait by the door. If you hear the sound of a plate smashing, call the police imdiately, understand!?”
Wen Xian was dumbfounded, not expecting that her casual comnt could really an they were eating pangolin!
Being a worldly person, she didn’t lose her composure. Considering his words, she quickly replied, “If there’s anything fishy about this place, I’ll call the police imdiately, but—”
“No buts, just do as I said.”
Lu Xiao cut her off and turned around to leave.
Wen Xian stood there, looking at the people around who were still eating, and suddenly felt her mind buzzing.
She couldn’t help but worry, if there really was a problem, could he, all by himself—
Manage it?
Lu Xiao headed straight for the private room, the door slightly ajar.
He walked over without changing his expression, passed by a chair, casually pulled off a towel hanging from it, wrapped it around his right hand, then clenched it.
Upon reaching the door, he pushed it open—
Suddenly, the scene inside ca into view.
Inside sat seven or eight n and two won, the room filled with swirling smoke, several beer bottles lay scattered on the floor, and on the round table—
Small plates, each bearing the familiar chunks of at.
The red at, still attached to the skin, bore thumbnail-sized scale grooves—what else could it be if not pangolin!
Not only that, his gaze swept over the other plates, revealing at from other wild animals!
Based on his past experience, he instantly recognized the at of the nationally protected falcon and the wild civet!
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiao’s entire presence instantly turned chilling and nacing—!
