"How could that be? What good would it do him to imitate me?" Ling Xiao frowned, indicating his disbelief.

But Wu Xie and the fat guy all said they saw him, which made Ling Xiao unsure of what to do at first.

"I know, he might be trying to lure us away so he can make a move on Lingzi!" Wuxie said after thinking for a while. After all, Chenpi had kidnapped Lingxiao while they were away last time. Maybe they would be targeted by someone this time? Could it be Lingxiao's sister?

"Why did you attack me?" Ling Xiao asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Besides, among us, I'm probably the hardest to fake, right? First, my hair is this color, so even if I bought a wig, it would still be rough and obvious to everyone. Second, I have a partner, and Brother Xiaohua has always been by my side. If he wanted to fake it, he should find someone who isn't there. So, no matter how you look at it, I shouldn't be the one being faked!"

"And if we're talking about the easiest to take down, Cheng Yu, you, Fatty, aren't you all easier than me? Or are you all fake, trying to fool me and Brother Xiaohua?" Ling Xiao quickly steered the conversation toward the group, his eyes instantly becoming wary.

"No, no, we're definitely real!" the fat man quickly explained upon seeing this.

"Who knows? Maybe you're all in cahoots to sow discord between me and Brother Xiaohua, then take me away and kill us separately!" Ling Xiao defended himself as if he were facing an enemy.

“No,” Zhuangzhuang stepped forward and explained, “Brother Lingxiao, Zhuangzhuang saw it, and the blind brother saw it too. He even chased after him.” As he spoke, Zhuangzhuang stretched out his little hand, wanting Lingxiao to hug him.

Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally squatted down and picked Zhuangzhuang up. The moment Zhuangzhuang fell into Ling Xiao's arms, he whispered something in his ear. Ling Xiao's face turned red instantly, and he no longer mentioned not believing them.

“But now that Hei Xiazi has been lured out, won’t he be in danger? He’s all alone. If the other party is alone, it might be easier to deal with, but if there are many people…” Ling Xiao couldn’t help but worry again after regaining his senses.

"I'll go find him," the young man said. Now that he was certain that the person wasn't Ling Xiao, there was nothing more to worry about.

Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Since the other party is imitating me, it is very likely that they want to lure the people around me." As he spoke, he looked at Xie Yuhua and said, "I think Brother Xiaohua should go with Brother Xiao."

“I’ll stay here with you,” Xie Yuhua immediately retorted.

Ling Xiao shook his head again and said, "He must have had a purpose in impersonating me. Maybe he just wanted to lure you out? He might not show himself if I go alone, so you and I need to work together. You, Brother Xiao Hua, are responsible for luring him out, and I'll assist you from the shadows. Maybe we can catch him soon?"

Just as Xie Yuhua was about to say something, Ling Xiao grabbed his hand and said, "I hate it when people impersonate me. I want Brother Xiaohua to help me catch him, but I'm worried that he might impersonate you to deceive me. If Brother Xiao goes with you, at least he won't switch both of you. Having another person is also more advantageous for Hei Xiazi. Besides, Fatty and Wu Xie are with me, so even if someone comes in disguise, I won't be at a loss. You don't have to worry about seeing someone who isn't me when you come back."

Ling Xiao seemed to have finished all the plans, leaving no room for anyone to object. Although the plan was rushed, it was the best solution that could be come up with in the limited time. Everyone knew that this matter could not be delayed for too long, or they would lose track of that person.

Seeing that Jie Yuhua was hesitant, Ling Xiao took the opportunity to coax her a few more times, and the final result was that Jie Yuhua agreed to go with Xiao Ge to chase after the fake Ling Xiao.

Before leaving, Xie Yuhua repeatedly urged the others to protect Ling Xiao. Only after they assured her did Xie Yuhua reluctantly turn back to leave.

As soon as Xie Yuhua and Xiao Ge left, Ling Xiao started playing with Zhuang Zhuang. Before long, Zhuang Zhuang got sleepy and started clamoring to go to sleep. Helpless, Fatty had no choice but to take Zhuang Zhuang back to his room to sleep first.

He had planned to come back after the child fell asleep, but then he thought it wouldn't be safe for the child to be alone in the room. Fortunately, Ling Xiao was very understanding and told Fatty not to worry. He said that with Cheng Yu and Wu Xie there, he would shout immediately if anything happened. Only then did Fatty feel at ease and take Zhuangzhuang back to his room.

So now only Ling Xiao, Wu Xie, and Cheng Yu are left in the room.

"I heard you ate something too salty tonight, and you went through all that trouble because of me. I didn't even offer you a drop of water. That's really unfair of me." As he spoke, Ling Xiao poured two glasses of water for the two of them.

"What are you saying? Why are you being so polite with us? We're just friends..." After taking a sip of water, Wu Xie started to feel dizzy and her consciousness began to blur. In the end, she collapsed onto the table. Looking at Cheng Yu next to her, he was not in much better condition either. In the end, he also succumbed to the effects of the drug and collapsed onto the table.

Seeing that the two had both collapsed, Ling Xiao went over and nudged them. After confirming that they were unconscious, he slowly smiled and said to Wu Xie, "Why don't you still have any sense of caution?"
