Chapter 68: Targeted

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Xin's leg injury wasn't too severe, but it still hurt on the second day, and even getting out of bed was a struggle. She realized that she had overestimated her physical stamina. Even with her attributes raised to 80 points, it couldn't compensate for her inherent weakness.

Xia Xin called Lu Yuan to request a leave of absence. Lu Yuan's tone was serious as he answered, “Xin, your call couldn't have come at a better time. I was just about to contact you about something.”

Lu Yuan rarely sounded so serious, so when he used that tone, Xia Xin knew that something significant had happened. She thought it might be related to the person who damaged the rockery last time and got caught. However, Lu Yuan told her an even more shocking piece of news.

“I had someone examine the wood left from the collapsed cabin and discovered marks on the wood inside the cabin's side that indicate it was sawed through with a saw. This caused the unstable wood inside the cabin to be knocked over when the giant panda entered. Bao was injured and unable to move, so he temporarily supported the cabin. Once Bao moves, the cabin will lose support and naturally collapse,” Lu Yuan said.

'So, it was another case of sabotage caused by a person…' Xia Xin pondered. She found this matter extremely terrifying.

“Mr. Lu, what does the director of the show say about this? Their industry competition has now endangered the safety of the animals and even harmed people. Are they going to just turn a blind eye?” Xia Xin asked.

Lu Yuan's tone grew even more serious and said, “Xin, this matter isn't just a simple business rivalry. Haven't you noticed that no matter what this person does, it doesn't affect the filming of the variety show or even the airing of the episodes? After the show airs, there's a series of positive feedback. Also, this person isn't using the internet to control things. This indicates that their target is not the show, but the zoo.”

Xia Xin thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case. The person's actions always only targeted the zoo's facilities and animals. But she couldn't figure out why the person would target the zoo.

Xia Xin had a sudden realization. She recalled that the things the person damaged were all traceable.

Because the guests' positions were random, and the timing of things falling was also random, this person couldn't predict in advance. Therefore, the rockery incident could only have targeted Xia Xin, who was standing by the rockery, leisurely playing with the pandas.

And the second time, only Xia Xin and the three giant pandas were by the cabin. The appearance of the guests was merely an accident. But because there were guests present both times, they overlooked this detail, thinking that the person was targeting the variety show. In reality, it wasn't; the person's true target was Xia Xin.

Realizing that, Xia Xin suddenly felt a chill. She had no idea who she had offended so much, and why that person would target her everywhere. She couldn't help but wonder if the person thought it was a joke.

If Xia Xin hadn't sensed it with her keen perception beforehand in each accident, she could very well have died in these accidents.

Xia Xin's speculation aligned with Lu Yuan's. Lu Yuan was worried as he asked,

“Xin, think carefully, have you offended anyone?”

Xia Xin couldn't think of anyone. She rarely interacted with people, and she was friendly. She also wondered who could hate her to the point of wanting her dead.

Lu Yuan suggested, “Xin, maybe we should report this to the police.”

Xia Xin hesitated and said, “But these are just our speculations. Reporting it won't help without evidence.”

Lu Yuan sighed, “Indeed, this person is cunning. They know to disable the surveillance before acting, so there's no trace to follow.”

“Wait!” Xia Xin suddenly realized something. “Mr. Lu, are you saying that this person manages to disable the surveillance every time they act?”

Lu Yuan said, ” Yes, because there's no sign of damage to the surveillance.”

Xia Xin suddenly had a hunch. Whoever could disable the surveillance must have free access to the control room and be able to move around each section of the zoo. This person had to be a senior member of the zoo, and there were only seven individuals in the zoo with that level of access. That could be easily investigated.

A bold idea suddenly struck Xia Xin, and it horrified her. She said, “Mr. Lu, I have a way to make this person expose himself!”

Lu Yuan asked, “How?”

Xia Xin said, “Allow me to keep you in suspense for now. This will also require the cooperation of the crew. Do you know when the next episode of the show will be recorded?”

After checking the schedule coordinated with the production crew, Lu Yuan answered, “In three days..”
