[Could be a stunt by the production team, not necessarily that she’s a Beast Master.]
[Look, they’re probably in a conservation area. It’s not unusual for lions and other animals to appear there.]
[Right, maybe the show struck a deal with the conservation area to let Xia Xin get close to animals as a way to encourage us to protect them.]
[Anything’s possible. Let’s not be fooled by this.]
[It might just be for the show. Don’t take it seriously.]

Jing MO was oblivious to how wildly speculative the online discussion had become. Had he known, he would have instructed Sun Hu to squash the trending topics, especially since superstitious beliefs were the last thing anyone should endorse. Such public attention was not beneficial for Xia Xin’s emerging career.
Moreover, Jing MO had sensed certain irregularities from the two birds that had flown to him with the news.
It was only then that Xia Xin noticed the two birds perched on Jing Mo’s shoulder—those were the same birds she’d encountered on the side of the road. Clearly, their intervention had led Jing MO to her.
“Mr. Jing MO, Ms. Xia Xin, the director says we should return to the production team,” said the cameraman, turning off the camera and approaching them.
“Alright,” both Jing Mo and Xia Xin responded curtly.
The charges of kidnapping and arson were significant; the production team’s involvement with Xu Ping and Xu An couldn’t simply be swept under the rug.
On their way back, Jing MO briefed Xia Xin on the current situation. The police were also searching for Xu Ping and Xu An.
Xia Xin frowned. There were many questions she wanted to ask Jing MO, but she hesitated, not wanting to intrude on his privacy.
Upon their return, they found the police waiting. Zhao Nan rushed toward Xia Xin and hugged her tightly. “Xin, where were you? I was so worried!” Zhao Nan said, her voice tinged with tears.
“I’m okay, Zhao Nan. I’m back, see?” Xia Xin patted Zhao Nan’s shoulder comfortingly.
After consoling Zhao Nan, Xia Xin went to give her statement to the police. With her identification, they quickly found evidence: a lighter with the twins’ fingerprints and an abandoned car.
Originally, Xu Ping drove away after leaving, but he did not expect the fire to be so big that he could not see the road clearly and directly hit the guardrail. Fortunately, the speed was not very fast. He only stopped after hitting the guardrail.
Coincidentally, Xu Ping met a firefighter who came to put out the fire, so he left with the firefighter.
As for Xu An, she was burned by the fire and was finally found by the firefighters and sent to the hospital.
Sun Hu filled them in on his findings during the drive home. “I don’t know who’s backing Xu Ping and Xu An, but they’re seriously well-protected. I can’t dig any further,” he expressed, frustrated.
“Stop the investigation,” Jing MO unexpectedly commanded.

“I said, stop it!” Jing MO snapped, unusually angered.
In Sun Hu’s impression, although Jing MO was a little cold, he rarely got angry. Now, he was actually angry.
Sun Hu recoiled, muttering, “I’m just worried about you, no need to get mad—unless…”
Sun Hu’s words trailed off, catching Jing Mo’s dark gaze. At home, Sun Hu left, and Jing MO sank into the sofa, mulling over the day’s events.
After returning home and Sun Hu had left, Jing MO sat down on the sofa and thought about what had happened the whole day.
Fresh from the shower, Xia Xin found Jing MO deep in thought. “What’s going on?” she inquired.
Jing MO looked up but hesitated, uncertain how to explain.
“It’s about you, isn’t it?” she pressed.
He opened his mouth, wanting to clear the air, but fear gripped him. He couldn’t gamble with Xia Xin’s safety.
Seeing him like this, Xia Xin’s eyebrows furrowed. She sifted through her memories of their past life but found nothing concerning ling Mo, the superstar.
“Big brother, is there really nothing you want to tell me?” Xia Xin questioned again..
