Ye Tianxin felt like she had just been plunged into an abyss, akin to the depth of hell.

An endless stream of bone-chilling coldness gushed over her body instantly.

Ye Tianxin’s pretty face immediately turned pale.

The image of her being caught in bed by everyone flashed across her eyes…

“Tianxin.”

Guan Chenxi walked into the suite with their luggage. She saw that Ye Tianxin stood at the entrance, so she called her name.

“Tianxin, do you not like this hotel? If so, I can get us a room at another hotel.”

“No need, I’ll stay right here.”

Ye Tianxin regained her senses and slowly walked to the middle of the room. She looked at the scenery in the distance. Far away from the hotel, she could see the calm surface of the sea.

A few little boats were drifting in the waters.

Although Shenhai City was only recently developed, it had been growing rapidly for the past few years.

Skyscrapers sprung up in the city like bamboo shoots after the rain.

These majestic, tall towers were the symbols of the city’s progress and prosperity.

Ye Tianxin hugged her shoulders and stood in front of the window which spanned from ceiling to floor.

“Ms. Ye, the boss said that he’ll be welcoming you at the restaurant downstairs later on.”

The moment Ye Tianxin reached Shenhai City, she felt a deep sense of discomfort all across her body. She told the person who picked them up from the airport, “No need for that, I’ll call Shangguan Ling.”

Shenhai City was a nightmare for Ye Tianxin.

The past few times that she came here, she was with Li Qingcang. When he was with her, Ye Tianxin wasn’t scared at all.

Li Qingcang was Ye Tianxin’s pillar of support. With him by his side, even if the sky came crashing down, she had nothing to fear.

However, Li Qingcang wasn’t with her now. All of those miserable things that happened in Ye Tianxin’s past life emerged in her heart again.

“Shangguan Ling, I’m here. Yup, I’ve already reached the hotel suite. I just wanted to tell you that I want to finish up the case at hand as soon as possible. Where are you right now? If it’s convenient, perhaps we can meet?”

After Shangguan Ling gave her an address, Ye Tianxin answered, “Okay.”

“Chenxi, we’ll go look for Shangguan Ling.”

Ye Tianxin and Guan Chenxi were driven by the person who fetched them from the airport to the place where Shangguan Ling was at.

When Ye Tianxin looked at the blood-stained elephant tusks that were confiscated by the officers at the border control, she felt an inexplicable feeling of wrath welling up within her.

“Tianxin, look, these are the ivory that we’ve confiscated. Here’s what I was thinking. I wanted to use your status as a celebrity to film a public service announcement about elephant tusks.”

All of these elephant tusks were of great quality.

They would be made into art pieces after being shipped overseas.

“No problem.”

Ye Tianxin unanswered without any hesitation when Shangguan Ling asked about filming the public service announcement.

If these things weren’t traded, there would be no such thing as poaching. The same went for shark fins and elephant tusks.

There was a very thick scent of blood in the room.

Ye Tianxin was a little unsure as she looked at the elephant tusks. She recalled that the case files clearly stated that these elephant tusks were hidden in a shipping container meant for health supplements and herbal products.

The border control found that something seemed off during routine inspections.

From a different perspective, if these criminals wanted to smuggle these elephant tusks, surely there were safer ways to do it.

Ye Tianxin suddenly thought about the hotel suite, then the ivory smuggling. She couldn’t help but start suspecting Shangguan Ling’s true motive.

“Shangguan Ling, this is a trap.”

Shangguan Ling nodded and said, “Yes, this is a trap. The person in charge at the company which shipped these elephant tusks had already confessed. He didn’t use this method to smuggle the ivory before. I don’t know why, but his boss told him to transport the ivory using a different method this time. That’s how the border control was able to find it.”
