Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Arrest Her Too

With that, he turned to Bai Su. "Stick close to me in a little while. Don’t go off on your own."

Bai Su shrank back. "You go on. Good luck."

Lu Tingyan: "?"

Bai Su patted his shoulder. "I’m so weak I couldn’t even truss a chicken. I can’t carry anything heavy. I’d only get in your way."

’This is ridiculous,’ Lu Tingyan thought. And yet, coming from Bai Su, it somehow made perfect sense.

He’d assumed that since they had planned this operation together and the Little White Wolfman was trapped inside, she would be desperate to charge in.

He had even considered how he would keep her safe once they got inside.

He had already run through several scenarios in his head, figuring out how to guarantee her maximum safety with minimal physical contact.

But he never expected that she...

...would be so self-aware.

The corner of Lu Tingyan’s mouth twitched. "Fine. Wait out here."

With that, he led his men and charged inside.

Bai Su, squatting in the bushes, was quickly spotted by Bai Xue from the helicopter.

Following Bai Xue’s directions, the Federation Commissioner led a team of Beastmen over and apprehended Bai Su without a word.

The media furiously snapped photos of the scene.

Bai Su: "?"

Bai Xue’s eyes glinted with excitement as she rushed to the front.

In front of the crowd, she suppressed the excitement in her eyes and put on a righteous facade. "Sister, how could you be involved in human trafficking? You’ve disappointed us all so much! I will absolutely not cover for you!"

Bai Su stared at her as if she were an idiot. "And which one of your eyes saw me trafficking people?"

Bai Xue scoffed, "Still trying to deny it? Isn’t there a deal happening inside right now?"

"You’re completely out of control! Did you think no one would find out just because you acted in the middle of the night?"

"Do you really think Major General Lu would cover for you? The Federation Commissioner is here today on Major General Lu’s orders."

"Give it up! Major General Lu will never like you!"

Bai Su: "..."

’How could someone so idiotic be the female lead?’

’Is this some kind of ditzy, naive heroine from an old-school romance novel?’

’One of those who stands on a moral high horse while causing disaster after disaster, only for countless male leads to jump in, clean up her messes, and highlight her "truth, goodness, and beauty"?’

Bai Su pictured Lu Tingyan being all lovey-dovey with Bai Xue and couldn’t help but break out in goosebumps. She just hoped all the commotion outside wasn’t affecting the operation inside.

Suddenly, a massive explosion erupted from the fur factory.

Everyone jumped in fright. They turned toward the sound and saw figures moving about inside.

Bai Xue looked at the Federation Commissioner. "You should hurry over. You should be in time to catch them red-handed. I can watch things here."

Naturally, the Federation Commissioner wasn’t going to miss a chance to earn some credit, so he hastily led a portion of his team and charged into the fur factory.

The surrounding media snapped picture after picture of Bai Xue and Bai Su. Some were even live-streaming the news.

A Cat Beastman reporter aimed a microphone at Bai Su. "Miss Bai Xue tells us that you’ve been engaged in human trafficking activities abroad, and that you opened an orphanage to facilitate selling children for money. Is that true?"

Bai Su’s face darkened. "Of course not."

Bai Xue gloated from the side, "Sister, stop denying it! The matter has already been thoroughly investigated. What’s the point of arguing?"
