The young man suddenly spoke in a cold voice: "Someone is waiting for you."

Wu Xie was puzzled and asked quickly, "Wait for me, who?" The little brother didn't say much, just spit out three words concisely: "Follow me."

After saying that, he took Bai Mumu's hand and strode ahead.

Wu Xie saw this and hurriedly shouted, "Hey! Brother, wait for me!"

The three of them walked through the long corridor, their footsteps echoing in the silence. Finally, they came to a cave. As soon as they stepped in, a strange smell hit their noses.

Wu Xie frowned slightly, sniffed the familiar scent, and murmured to himself: "This smell, such a familiar smell."

In the cave, the three people saw a woman in a gray windbreaker quietly facing away from them.

Wu Xie felt an inexplicable tension in his heart. He raised his voice and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman turned around slowly, and Wu Xie was stunned by her familiar face.

After a long while, Wu Xie asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Who are you? Aunt Wen Jin?"

Chen Wenjin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "It's me, Wu Xie!"

Wu Xie was very excited and walked towards Chen Wenjin quickly: "It's really you! How come you don't look any older! You look exactly the same as in the photo, shouldn't you be the same age as my Third Uncle?"

Chen Wenjin smiled bitterly and sighed, "For me, eternal youth is not a good thing."

At this point, Chen Wenjin couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you have grown up so much. Back then, I washed your diapers."

When Wu Xie heard this, he was extremely embarrassed and muttered to himself: Why do I have to bring up these embarrassing things in front of Mu Mu and Brother every time?

He scratched his head and said, "Aunt Wenjin, to be honest, you suddenly showed up like this, I really don't know how to react."

Chen Wenjin responded with a smile: "Who said we haven't seen each other for a long time? We just had tea together."

Wu Xie was slightly startled, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that just as Chen Wenjin said, they had indeed met not long ago.

Wu Xie was shocked and said, "You are the daughter-in-law of Dingzhu Zhuoma."

Chen Wenjin nodded: "I am just pretending to be Dingzhu Zhuoma's daughter-in-law."

After that, Wu Xie pointed at the little brother and said, "Are you and the little brother in the same group?"

Chen Wenjin replied, "We are fellow travelers." Wu Xie recalled what happened along the way and sorted out his thoughts. Thinking that his brother didn't say a word along the way, Wu Xie couldn't help but retort, "Why didn't you remind me?"

The young man said calmly: "I hinted to you."

Wu Xie's eyes widened: "Nonsense, when did you hint to me? How come I didn't know?"

The young man just uttered two words lightly: "Eyes."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes and said, "Who can understand your hint?"

Chen Wenjin narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Bai Mumu behind Wu Xie, then turned to the young man and said, "Zhang Qiling, why did you bring her here too? Didn't I say I only wanted to see Wu Xie?"

The young man had no expression on his face, and just responded calmly: "It's okay, we are one family."

Chen Wenjin frowned after hearing what the young man said. She looked back and forth at Bai Mumu, as if trying to find out something from her expression and behavior.

Seeing this, Wu Xie hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "Aunt Wenjin, Mu Mu is really one of us."

Chen Wenjin tilted his head slightly and looked at Wu Xie, his eyes still full of doubt: "Xiao Xie, how can you be sure that she is not a spy placed in the team?"

Wu Xie's face showed a determined look, and he answered without hesitation: "Impossible, Mu Mu has saved us many times along the way. If she was really a spy, we would have died countless times."

However, Chen Wenjin was not easily convinced by Wu Xie's words. She shook her head slightly, sighed, and said, "Xiao Xie... things are far from as simple as you think. In this place full of dangers and conspiracies, we must not trust anyone easily. We must always remain highly vigilant, otherwise we may fall into an abyss of no return at any time."

Wu Xie hurriedly said, "No, Aunt Wen Jin..." His face was full of anxiety, as if he was eager to defend Bai Mumu, but he didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Bai Mumu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and shouted, "Have you said enough!"

When Wu Xie saw Bai Mumu was about to lose her temper, he quickly walked over and said softly, "Mumu, don't be angry first. Aunt Wen Jin is just..." His words were filled with cautious flattery, trying to calm Bai Mumu's anger.

However, Bai Mumu didn't give him a chance to continue speaking. He glared at him fiercely and shouted angrily: "Shut up and get out of here!"

Wu Xie suddenly looked like an eggplant hit by frost. He said aggrievedly, "Oh..." Then he obediently stepped aside and stood in a row with the little brother.

But he would still glance at Bai Mumu from time to time, feeling annoyed that he had not explained himself clearly and made Bai Mumu so angry.

He looked at the young man again, hoping to get some comfort or tips from him. But the young man was still like a silent mountain, with no expression on his face and calm eyes.

Wu Xie sighed slightly, thinking that with his brother's temper, he really couldn't be relied upon at a time like this.

At this moment, Chen Wenjin was watching the scene quietly with a complicated expression.

Her brows were still slightly furrowed, and her eyes moved back and forth between Bai Mumu, Wu Xie and Xiao Ge.

Seeing Wu Xie step aside with a wronged look, Chen Wenjin's heart moved slightly.

She could understand Wu Xie's protection of Bai Mumu. After all, Bai Mumu had saved them several times along the way. Wu Xie valued friendship and would naturally stand by Bai Mumu without hesitation. But she also had her own concerns. In this place full of unknown dangers and conspiracies, any uncertain factors could bring fatal consequences. She couldn't afford to gamble.

Wu Xie stood beside the little brother, his heart was tangled like a tangled mess. He knew Bai Mumu's temper, and this time he really pissed her off.

After a while, Wu Xie took a deep breath and said to Bai Mumu: "Mumu, I know you are angry, but listen to me, Aunt Wenjin didn't mean it. We have been through so much, and we all remember your kindness. But now the situation is special, and Aunt Wenjin is also thinking about everyone's safety. Please don't be angry, okay?"
