Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng nodded, muttering to herself, "I didn't see it disappear, but I definitely saw it appear, but I'm not telling you."

"Yes, fate is a mysterious thing. Maybe everyone is destined to meet, or maybe none of us are," Yu Meng sighed.

Jia Daoyi looked at Yu Meng seriously, "Your people saw the dense forest disappear with their own eyes, don't you have any questions?"

"Of course I asked about something so important."

"How is it?"

"They entered the dense forest because of the alien creatures at the edge of the woods," Yu Meng said directly, without hiding anything.

Then he pointed to Niannian's wrist. "The beads on her wrist are made of that oddly shaped dough."

Of course, Jia Daoyi knew about that bracelet. Back then, his family's bone-drawing master had revealed all of his family's secrets under the influence of the bracelet.

At the time, he was relieved that the kid hadn't asked about any specific family secrets, otherwise he would have killed him to silence him.

"Then how did they get out?" Jia Daoyi asked, puzzled. "Did you enter the Alien Battlefield because of them?"

Yu Meng pointed to the kitten on the windowsill. "It went in and led them out."

Jia Daoyi turned to look at the kitten on the windowsill. The kitten was very sensitive; noticing someone was watching it, it jumped off the windowsill and left.

"You raised it?"

"I raised it." Yu Meng nodded.

Jia Daoyi was genuinely surprised. What kind of kitten was this? He had never seen one before. No, he had never even heard of it.

"What did your men find inside? Did they find that legendary thing?"

"Your people must have seen how disheveled they were when they came back. They didn't bring back many aliens either. You know the hallucinogenic effects of that alien dough; it caused them a lot of suffering," Yu Meng said with a wry smile.

"When asked why they did this, they said they got into a fight. But when asked who they fought with, they couldn't give specifics," Yu Meng replied, half-truthfully.

"It's already a miracle that we were able to come out. According to records, no one who went in has ever come out." Jia Daoyi did not doubt Yu Meng's words.

"Has no one described what's happening in the dense forest?"

"No. I believe you've also received the news. Several unidentified forces have appeared in these alien battlefields. They are all searching for this dense forest."

Yu Meng looked at Jia Daoyi, her expression gradually darkening.

Having risen to the position of clan leader, Jia Daoyi was naturally adept at reading people and situations. He understood Yu Meng's meaning.

"Teacher Yu, don't overthink it. We're all in the same boat now, and I won't leak your information."

"I trust the clan leader's character. But he's not the only one who witnessed this," Yu Meng said in a low voice.

"I understand your concerns. I have dealt with the problematic members of the tribe in the past few days."

Niannian blinked, "I saw your car leave in the middle of the night that day."

Secretary Wu turned to look at Niannian. Midnight? Isn't she sleeping?

Jia Daoyi also looked at Niannian, "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

"Two days ago, I couldn't sleep, so I went out and sat on the roof. That's when I saw your car. It came in from outside, but it had your family's emblem on it. I recognize that emblem," Niannian said, speaking with great confidence.

Jia Daoyi was furious and couldn't sleep. Why did you have to climb onto the roof when you could have just stayed inside?

Before he could even figure it out, Yu Meng blurted out, "Sitting on the roof?"

"Uh, Fourth Sister, you can't blame me for this."

Yu Meng just looked at her without saying a word.

But the pressure instantly reached its maximum.

"It's Captain Du. He built a small observation tower between those two houses. We go there whenever we have free time." Niannian quickly revealed Du Wenhe's name.

Secretary Wu lowered his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. In this way, Nian Nian's behavior was merely an accident.

"It's pitch black, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Jia Daoyi asked hastily, disregarding his image.

"There was a moon that night, I could see it very clearly. There was also a little fluorescence on the sign, it must have been painted on with a special material."

Jia Daoyi stood up. "I need to go back and see what happened. Teacher Yu, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Clan leader, you must investigate this matter thoroughly, otherwise our guild hall may never have peace again."

"I know, don't worry, I will definitely investigate thoroughly." Jia Daoyi left in a hurry.

Niannian followed behind him, and after watching him walk away, she gently closed the door.

Secretary Wu then looked at Yu Meng. "This matter is very important; we need to make plans as soon as possible."

Yu Meng looked down and fiddled with the communication bell in her hand. "It was my oversight that I turned it on in front of the guests."

"How can you blame Fourth Sister? It's all Captain Xiao's fault. He had to shout and yell. If it were a text message, none of this would have happened!"

"This is a lesson. Remember this from now on: never turn on your communication bell in front of outsiders, because you never know what the person inside might say to you," Yu Meng advised.

Secretary Wu took out a pen and wrote the matter down in his notebook.

"I will send them a message and tell them to communicate in text from now on. Also, the intercom must be turned on in a safe place."

Secretary Wu put the notebook and pen away, then looked at Yu Meng, "So how do we resolve this matter?"

Niannian ate snacks nearby, saying, "It's all taken care of."

"Huh? How did you solve it?"

"Uncle Wu, how many days has it been since you last visited our warehouse?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means you neglected your duty; there's such a big guy in the warehouse, and you didn't even notice." Nian Nian's face was full of smiles.

Secretary Wu's mind worked quickly. "You mean, that... car?"

"How about that? Aren't I smart!"

"But didn't you say that car had already driven away?"

"Yes, it was driven away, but I didn't say who drove it away." Niannian smiled and spoke in riddles to Secretary Wu.

Secretary Wu turned to look at Yu Meng. "Teacher Yu, you had already made preparations?"

"Not really. It's just that when Captain Xiao shouted, I saw Jia Daoyi's expression change, so I told our men to keep an eye on him."

Secretary Wu couldn't sit still any longer. "I have to go and see. How could I not know anything about something so important? Niannian is right, I've failed in my duty."

"Uncle Wu, remember to give us a reward, something nice."

"They remember every single detail." Secretary Wu took a few steps and stopped. "They have communication devices; how are we supposed to defend against that?"

"Yes, Fourth Sister. What should we do?"

"I can handle this, you don't need to worry."

Hearing this, Secretary Wu left reassured.

Niannian ran up to Yu Meng, "Fourth Sister, do you really have a way?"
