The other three also realized what was happening and dragged Wu Xie along to follow.

Throughout the journey, Wu Xie kept recalling the specific events that had happened, from Golmud to being captured and then to Ling Xiao's appearance. He roughly pieced together the timeline and realized that it was all a trap set by the sequence of events.

"If this is a setup, then things will be easier. They probably won't do anything to you, sir. You might be doing this to go with the flow," Cheng Yu analyzed.

Jieyuhua shook her head, somewhat disagreeing with his idea: "You can't say that. This is only Wuxie's perspective. He only knows that Shixu captured him, but he doesn't know Shixu's plan. It's unlikely that Shixu would capture someone so early. It sounds like taking Shixi's head back was an accident. There's a blank period in the child's timeline. Something must have happened in that period. If Wuxie was captured from the beginning, then it means that the one at home is fake. I understand."

The child discovered that the innocent person in the house was fake, but didn't want to alert him, so he pretended to be brainwashed and went to follow him alone. He must have discovered the flaw and acted immediately, which gave him the opportunity to go to the other side of time.

But all of this happened so suddenly. The child didn't know what I had talked about with Shi Xu, nor did he know that Shi Xu was related to He Jun. He was caught completely off guard.

He would comfort himself, but he still had to prepare for the worst.

The group arrived at the experimental base on the outskirts of Lingxiao Capital in silence.

The gatekeeper naturally saw Xie Yuhua, but he could only apologize, as Ling Xiao was not there and no one could enter without Ling Xiao's order.

"However, the sir did say there was something inside, and if you bring the correct thing, you can take it," the gatekeeper said.

Upon hearing this, the group felt hopeful, but they didn't know what this thing actually was.

The young man took out a diamond and handed it to the gatekeeper. Xie Yuhua saw it, but she was puzzled. Wasn't this the diamond he bought for the child? Why was it in the young man's hand?

"He gave it to me before I left," the young man explained.

In fact, this was part of his reward. He was paid for helping Ling Xiao find a dilapidated temple. He just thought it belonged to Ling Xiao and asked about it by chance, but who knew it was actually the right thing to do.

"The master has prepared patterns for many items, so any one of them will do. You can take it now." The gatekeeper noticed Jie Yuhua's confusion and naturally explained that Ling Xiao had made patterns for everyone's gifts for them to check. Whoever took out an item that Ling Xiao had given them could take it, as long as it was something Ling Xiao had given them. However, they couldn't go inside.

The fat man was completely taken aback. He thought they were going to take away some big secret, but instead, 'Chen Yunjin' walked out from inside...

That's it, their hopes were dashed and they've brought a huge problem. They didn't have time to catch up with this person, so the fat man said a lot more, and said he would come to pick him up next time, as this person had a personal chauffeur. The staff understood and took the person back.

"Xiao Hua..." Wu Xie lowered his head, glancing at him cautiously from time to time, but Xie Yu Hua did not show any disappointment or sadness, which made him even more afraid.

Xie Yuhua frantically recalled the details in his mind. He left his phone number with the gatekeeper and asked him to call him immediately if he saw Ling Xiao. He then made several more calls, searching for temples with Maitreya statues.

The cult has been searching for children, and this explosion could be an opportunity for them. Who knows if Shi Xu is colluding with the cult? They're making all sorts of promises, but maybe they're in cahoots. If he goes there now, he might be able to save the children.
