Lu Yuan told Xia Xin solemnly, “Xin, this time the falling rock might not have been accidental.”

Surprised, Xia Xin asked, “Did you notice something strange about it?”

Lu Yuan showed Xia Xin the on-site photos of the incident. He said, “Look at the edges of these rocks. There are clear marks of ax cuts. If it were a natural fracture, the cut wouldn’t be so clean.”

Xia Xin carefully observed the edges of the rocks and indeed saw the white marks left by the friction between the ax and the stone. She thought, ‘Who would intentionally damage the rockery? Could it be to halt the production of the show?’

Xia Xin knew that the entertainment industry had many unknown insider dealings. There were often behind-the-scenes actions taken to hinder someone’s progress. However, only the employees of the zoo who had access to the animal enclosures and knew the exact shooting schedule could be involved in this.

Xia Xin looked at Lu Yuan, and it was clear that he had the same thoughts. Lu Yuan asked, “Do you have any suspects in mind?”

Shaking her head, Xia Xin replied, “I’ve been responsible for the snub-nosed monkey enclosure all along. If there’s a suspicious person, the first person to be suspected would definitely be me.”

Lu Yuan responded, “You treat Slowpoke with such care. You wouldn’t do anything that might harm him. So, I believe it couldn’t be you.”

“Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Lu. The priority now is to find out who this vandal is and hand them over to the police for investigation!” Xia Xin said.

Lu Yuan put away the photos on the table and instructed Xia Xin, “You can go rest now. I’ll give you a day off tomorrow. I’ll personally check the zoo’s surveillance footage and make sure to find the person responsible.”

After dealing with matters on this end, Xia Xin went to the rest area in the panda enclosure to find Zhao Nan. Just as she entered, she saw two figures rushing toward her. One was Zhao Nan, anxiously checking Xia Xin’s wound, and the other was Layle, excitedly seeing his owner.

Layle had been circling around Xia Xin’s feet and playfully tapping her calves with his tail, indicating that he wanted to be picked up. However, Xia Xin was currently being pulled by Zhao Nan to check the wound, so she couldn’t divert her attention.

Seeing that the wound was properly bandaged, Zhao Nan finally felt relieved and said, “You scared me! Next time you encounter danger, just tell us to leave quickly. Don’t rush towards it. Or better yet, let’s avoid having a ‘next time’!”

Xia Xin comforted Zhao Nan with a smile and said, “I was too anxious at that moment and didn’t think things through. Plus, it’s just a minor scratch. Don’t worry.”

Xia Xin intentionally used this opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding between them. So, she playfully teased Zhao Nan, “You were mad at me, right? Now that you’re showing concern, why aren’t you continuing to be angry?”

Only then did Zhao Nan recall that she was still angry at Xia Xin. She pouted, turned her back, and ignored her.

Xia Xin coaxed her, saying, “Alright, don’t be mad anymore. I was just kidding. If you’re mad at me, you should at least tell me the reason, right? That’s the only way we can resolve things.”

Zhao Nan sighed, “I just feel that you’ve become so popular now, with so many fans. Everyone likes you a lot. Our worlds are different now, and with your popularity, you’ll naturally make new friends and won’t care about me anymore.”

Pretending to be upset, Xia Xin said, “Who told you all this nonsense?

Regardless of how many people I know, you will always be my most important friend. That’s something that won’t change! How can you doubt our friendship over these trivial matters?”

Zhao Nan felt wronged and said, “It’s because of what Zhang Liang told me. He specifically delivered something to you on my behalf and saw you with a man. That man even let a dog bite him. That’s why I got angry.”

Xia Xin knew that it must be Zhang Liang trying to create misunderstandings. She was very angry and asked Zhao Nan, “What exactly did Zhang Liang say to you? Tell me everything!”

Zhao Nan hesitated, but eventually spilled everything, “Zhang Liang said that you’re a big internet celebrity now, and wherever you go, people will be watching you. He said you wouldn’t care about us friends anymore, so I should keep my distance from you to save myself from embarrassment.”

“He’s just talking nonsense!” Xia Xin exclaimed as she clenched her fists in anger, her eyes filled with the desire to immediately give Zhang Liang a good beating..
