Ah Ning stared at Wu Xie with a sharp gaze and asked again, "Wu Xie, do you really not know anything at all?"

Wu Xie's eyes were firm, and he responded without hesitation: "What can I know? I just received the videotape just like you."

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Aning snorted coldly and turned away.

Just after seeing Aning off, Wang Pangzi's phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, Wang Pangzi looked at Wu Xie and Bai Mumu with a happy face and said, "Tian Zhen, I'm sorry, little fairy, but I've got an important job and I have to leave first." As soon as he finished speaking, he said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Wu Xie was stunned by this. Wang Meng looked at Wu Xie fiddling with the videotape and muttered casually, "He sent me a blank tape too. This guy is really weird."

When Wu Xie heard this, he suddenly woke up as if from a dream: "I know!"

Bai Mumu asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Wu Xie replied: "Follow me!"

Wu Xie ran into the house with Bai Mumu and quickly asked Wang Meng to bring a screwdriver so that he could open the videotape and take a look.

Wang Meng was playing games leisurely and wanted Wu Xie to get it himself, but Wu Xie threatened him with his salary. For his meager salary, Wang Meng could only reluctantly turn off his computer and go get a screwdriver for his boss.

While Wu Xie was tightening the screws, he did not forget to explain to Bai Mumu: "This videotape is blank, which means that the content itself is not important at all. The other party wants to send me the videotape itself. There is only one reason to send this videotape, and there are things in it that only the recipient can find."

Bai Mumu secretly praised them in his heart: "As expected of the protagonists, their brains are really good."

After Wu Xie opened the videotape, he indeed found the note and the key inside.

"No. 349-5, Lane , Deer Road, Kunlun Road, Golmud City, Qinghai Province" Wu Xie muttered as he looked at the note and key in his hand.

Wang Meng said jokingly with a smile: "Hey! Boss, he has prepared a room for you."

Wu Xie got anxious when he heard this. He was afraid that Bai Mumu would misunderstand him, so he glared at Wang Meng and scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about! Mumu, don't listen to his nonsense, this is a complete misunderstanding. I swear to God, I really don't have any other thoughts. Look at me, I'm worried day and night to find out the truth about this matter, so I don't have time to think about those things."

Bai Mumu actually knew everything in her heart, because it was not only Wu Sanxing who was involved, but also her. So now watching Wu Xie trying so hard to explain, she felt guilty, but she couldn't show it, so she could only pretend to be calm.

Wu Xie, however, mistakenly thought that she didn't believe him, and secretly deducted Wang Meng's salary, muttering: "It's all Wang Meng's fault for talking nonsense, wait and see how I'll deal with you later."

Wu Xie asked Wang Meng to book two tickets to Golmud, Qinghai Province, and set off on the journey with Bai Mumu.

On the plane, Wu Xie was worried, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Bai Mumu who was standing beside him with a calm expression.

Wu Xie couldn't help but say, "Mu Mu, I really didn't. Wang Meng is just talking nonsense. Don't think too much about it."

Bai Mumu smiled slightly and said, "Wu Xie, I know you are not that kind of person, don't be too nervous."

Wu Xie scratched his head and said, "I'm just afraid that you'll misunderstand me. This matter makes me feel very upset."

Bai Mumu comforted him, "Okay, let's think about how to investigate when we get to Golmud."

Wu Xie sighed and said, "I don't know what I'll encounter, but no matter what, I must figure things out."

Bai Mumu nodded: "Well, I believe you."

Wu Xie added: "If you are really in danger, I will definitely protect you."

Bai Mumu laughed out loud: "With your small body, you still want to protect me?"

Wu Xie straightened his back: "Then don't underestimate me, I am absolutely reliable at the critical moment."

Looking at Wu Xie who was still laughing foolishly, Bai Mumu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Oh - forget it, I should protect him more later."

The two of them chatted with each other, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.

After getting off the plane, the blazing sunlight of Golmud pierced like a sharp sword, blinding people. The dry wind carried sand and dust, ruthlessly whipping their faces. Wu Xie and Bai Mumu followed the address on the note, asking for directions and groping their way forward.

The car they were riding in bumped along the bumpy road, raising clouds of dust. Outside the window was an endless desert, with rolling sand dunes like sleeping beasts. The mountains in the distance towered into the clouds, but were lifeless, and the brown mountains seemed to be telling the vicissitudes of time.

Finally, the car stopped in front of an abandoned sanatorium. This Golmud sanatorium looked dilapidated, with weeds growing all around it and large flakes of paint peeling off the walls, like mottled scales. The gate was rusty and half-closed, as if resisting the intrusion of the outside world. The trees in the yard had long been dry, and their branches twisted and stretched towards the sky, like desperate arms.

Wu Xie took a deep breath, pulled Bai Mumu forward, and knocked on the door gently. However, no one answered for a long time.

"This place looks very eerie. Wu Xie, are you sure we can really find clues here?" Bai Mumu couldn't help but ask.

Wu Xie was not too sure but still gritted his teeth and said, "Since we are here, we have to give it a try."

Bai Mumu: "Okay, let's go."

The two looked at the abandoned sanatorium. Wu Xie and Bai Mumu wandered outside for a while, but couldn't think of a way to get in. Bai Mumu looked at Wu Xie's helpless look, sighed helplessly, and then motioned Wu Xie to step aside, kicked the rusty iron door open, and Wu Xie was shocked to open his eyes wide and his mouth slightly opened.

Wu Xie swallowed, his voice trembling slightly: "Mu Mu, this... this is not good, what if we get discovered!"

Bai Mumu patted the dust off his hands and glanced at Wu Xie: "It's okay, don't worry, if you dawdle any longer it will be dark."

The two walked into the sanatorium, and a rotten smell hit them in the face. The yard was overgrown with weeds, almost half a person tall, and the grass leaves were yellow and trembling in the wind, as if telling of the desolation of this place. The ground was covered with gravel and bricks, and people could trip if they were not careful.

Opposite the gate is a dilapidated main building, the walls seem to have been eaten away by time, the wall paint is peeling off, some places reveal the red bricks inside, and some places are covered with moss. Most of the glass on the windows is broken, and the few remaining pieces are shaky, as if they will fall to the ground in the next second.

There was a small pavilion on one side of the main building, with half of its roof collapsed, the paint on the pillars peeling off, and the rotten wood clearly visible. There were piles of debris in the pavilion, with old chairs with broken legs lying on the ground, tables with missing corners, and a bunch of unnamed things piled up in a mess.

There was a pool in the corner of the yard, the water in the pool had long been dried up, and thick dust and fallen leaves accumulated at the bottom of the pool. The sculpture beside the pool was incomplete, with only a vague outline left, as if it was twisting and struggling in pain.

Wu Xie walked fearfully, his eyes fixed on his feet, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. Bai Mumu rushed forward at a rapid pace, and Wu Xie shouted in panic from behind: "Mumu, slow down, be careful!"

At this moment, a crow flew over his head and cried "Wow", causing Wu Xie to tremble violently and almost jump up. But he quickly adjusted himself and pretended to be calm.

Bai Mumu found Wu Xie's subconscious actions funny and said, "If you're scared, we can still go back."

Wu Xie bit his lip secretly, straightened his back, and continued to walk forward. Although his legs were trembling slightly, he still said bravely: "No matter how scared I am, I have to come."

The two continued to walk towards the main building. With every step, they felt the atmosphere around them getting weirder. Wu Xie's heartbeat was as rapid as a drum, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still tried to maintain a fearless expression on his face.
