Villain: Without Morality, You Will Not Be Kidnapped!

"We need to further investigate the relevant information about the sacred tree and whether there is the possibility that other people are interested in it and profit from it." Lin Wan said.

As a result, Qi Lin and Lin Wan began a series of investigations. They reviewed a large amount of literature and visited various botanical gardens and nature reserves, hoping to find more clues.

After several days of hard work, they found a scholar who specializes in sacred trees——Professor Li Yuhua.

"Professor Li, we are investigating the case of illegal felling of trees [we found clues about the sacred trees. Can you tell us more information about the sacred trees?" Qi Lin preached politely.

Professor Li Yuhua frowned slightly, appearing hesitant.

"Sacred trees are indeed very rare and mysterious trees. They are believed to possess special energy and healing properties. But due to their scarcity, people rarely have the opportunity to see them in person. Finding sacred trees around the city is almost impossible ." Professor Li Yuhua explained.

Lin Wan's heart moved, and she thought of Ming's special attention to trees that she mentioned before.

"Professor Li, have you ever heard of a college student named Qi Ming who is very obsessed with trees, especially sacred trees?" Lin Wan asked.

Professor Li Yuhua thought for a moment and then nodded.

"We did meet a young man named Qi Ming, and he asked me about information about sacred trees. He showed an unusual interest in this topic. But I don't know if he is related to the tree felling case." Professor Li Yuhua replied.

Qi Lin and Lin Wan were shocked by this discovery, and decided to further investigate Qi Ming's background and whereabouts.

Qi Lin and Lin Wan returned to university, and they began to collect information about Qi Ming. After investigation, they found that Qi Ming was a student with excellent grades and good moral character, but he was also somewhat withdrawn and introverted.

They decided to have an in-depth understanding of Qi Ming's daily life and began to conduct secret surveillance. A few days later, they noticed that Qi Ming often came to an abandoned warehouse area alone and stayed out all night.

They decided to follow Qi Ming to see what he was doing in the warehouse area. That night, they quietly followed Qi Ming and finally came to a secret camp hidden in the woods.

In the camp, they saw a shocking sight - a large number of chopped down trees were piled up, and Qi Ming stood among them, hugging a huge sacred tree tightly.

"Qi Ming, what are you doing? Why are you cutting down these trees?" Qi Lin's voice was full of anger and disappointment.

Qi Ming turned his head and saw them. There was a flash of panic in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Have you noticed? These stolen trees are the only sacred trees left around the city. I am not destroying them, but protecting them." Qi Ming explained.

He continued: "I discovered an ancient legend, saying that only when all the sacred trees are cut down, their power will be fully released and some magical wishes can be realized. In order to protect these precious sacred trees, I took took this action.

After listening to Qi Ming's explanation, Qi Lin and Lin Wan were filled with complicated emotions. They understand Qi Ming's intentions, but cutting down trees is still illegal.

"Qi Ming, we understand your motives, but your method is wrong. You should protect these sacred trees through legal means and let more people understand their importance." Lin Wan tried to persuade Qi Ming. .
