Crossing Worlds Provocation - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Furiosity From Captain Lu!

Wenxian frowned.

She faintly found it familiar, as if she had seen the thing in the tray somewhere before.

The man in black clothing was speedily walking into one of the private rooms.

Wenxian retracted her gaze, and saw Lu Xiao holding his cell phone, with a rather stern expression, but did not know what he was looking at.

She hesitated, but still could not help but ask, “Lu Xiao, do you know which animal’s meat… Hmm, looks like scales and furrows the size of a thumb nail…?”

With that, Lu Xiao, who was reading messages sent from Sang Nian, froze. He then lifted his head gradually, frowning, “… What do you mean? Like scales and furrows?”

Wenxian was speechless, “…”

Why did she feel like his expression changed suddenly, was that supposed to be something special?

She paused, nodded, and continued, “Yes, and the meat is dark red, what animal meat here looks like that?”

While speaking, she turned her gaze to the direction of a certain private room.

It seemed like Lu Xiao thought of something, as he instantly turned around. When he turned back, his dark and fierce eyes were filled with seriousness, “Tell me, what did you see?”

Seeing his changing mood, Wenxian started stammering, she quickly used the chopsticks to point to the second private room from the inside, “Just, just now someone came in with a tray and walked that way, I noticed the meat he was carrying looked a little weird.”

The memory of that thing seemed to float in her brain, but for a moment, she could not recall what exactly it was.

It seemed like she had seen it before during some dinner sessions with the superiors of the circle.

However, it was just that she did not eat much during those situations, only drinking alcohol.

However, Lu Xiao suddenly got up, turning towards that private room with a gloomy expression.

Wenxian was startled, and quickly got up to chase after him.

“Lu Xiao! Lu Xiao! What are you doing!”

She caught up to him and asked.

Lu Xiao suddenly froze in his steps, and took a deep breath, “I suspect that is a pangolin, I will go in now to take a look, you wait by the door, if you hear sounds of plates smashing, call the police immediately, get it!?”

Wenxian was startled, she did not expect that what she casually mentioned, actually could turn out to be a pangolin!

After all, she was experienced, so she was not frantic. Upon hearing his instructions, she replied hurriedly, “I will definitely call the police if this restaurant really had something fishy going on, but——”

“No buts, just do as I said.”

Lu Xiao interrupted her, immediately turning around to walk off.

Wenxian stood at the original spot, looking at the other people around who were eating, immediately feeling confused in her head.

She could not help but worry, that if something really happened, and he, he was alone——

Could he handle it?

Lu Xiao rushed towards that private room, which door was left slightly ajar.

He walked over without a change in expression, and when he walked past a chair, he conveniently took a towel hanging on it, wrapping it around the palm of his right hand, then held it tight.

When he reached the door, it pushed it open directly——

Instantly, the people inside came into view.

There were seven or eight men and two women seated inside, smoke filled the room, there were numerous beer bottles toppled on the floor, and on that round table——

That familiar meat was placed on individual tiny plates.

Their red meat was connected to the skin, with thumbnail-sized scales and furrows atop, what could it be other than a pangolin!

Not only that, as he scanned across the room, he realized there were other wild animals on the other plates!

Based on previous experiences, he directly recognized the second class national protected bird species common kestrels, as well as the wild animal, masked palm civet!

Upon seeing that, the aura surrounding Lu Xiao instantly turned somber and biting cold——!
