Sweetie deliberately saw through it but didn't say anything. Her delicate eyes under the mask narrowed sweetly. "Yeah, that's right. Brother is so smart, how could he like Daddy? Brother definitely wouldn't like Daddy."

It would have been better if he hadn't said those words; once he did, Gu Jingxing felt his face getting even hotter.

He quickly pulled Tianbao off the helicopter. "Tianbao, be careful. If we encounter any danger, I'll shout to distract them, and you can escape immediately, understand?"

"Mmm," Sweetie replied.

But how could she bear to leave?

If she leaves, my brother will be very scared all by himself...

The Netherworld Base was swarming with guards, and even had various detectors and monitors. Taking advantage of the two guards' inattention, Gu Jingxing knocked them unconscious and stole the electronic devices they were wearing, successfully avoiding all the detectors' alarms.

Sweetie asked cautiously, "Brother, where are we going now?"

While keeping himself concealed, Gu Jingxing's fingers rapidly pressed buttons on his watch as he explained intently:

“I’ve found the place in the entire base where we can hold people. Let’s go there now! But before that, I must hack into the entire base’s security system and paralyze the entire system!”

A hint of surprise flashed in Tianbao's eyes. "Wow, brother, can this really be done?"

Gu Jingxing's eyes narrowed with a coldness beyond his years. "Although the entire base's system may be extremely complex, I specifically studied it with Mommy before, so maybe we can give it a try!"

As he finished speaking, his slightly narrowed eyes gradually turned into a cold, eerie light, and his expression became increasingly focused.

Sweetie blinked her bright, watery eyes, staring at Gu Jingxing's face, gradually becoming mesmerized...

When her brother gets serious, he's so handsome, and her dad...

Could it be like this too?

Suddenly, she really, really wanted to see her daddy...

On the other side, the leader escorted Xue Lingbao through many checkpoints and finally arrived at the room where Lan Yiren was.

Upon hearing her subordinate's report, Lan Yiren's eyes immediately lit up with excitement, and she rushed out!

From afar, she saw Xue Lingbao's masked face, which looked just like Tianbao's, and she was so excited that her blood was boiling!

Her sinister eyes gleamed with a morbid, bloodthirsty light as she gripped Xue Lingbao's neck tightly with both hands. "Lan Yanyan! You've finally fallen into my hands! Do you remember your mother? Your mother is right here. Aren't you very happy to be back in your mother's arms? Hmm?"

Heaven is truly fair. She raised Gu Momo's daughter for so many years, but in the end, Lan Yanyan still fell into her hands!

She wanted to take everything away from Gu Momo, preferably Gu Momo's most precious possessions!

Xue Lingbao was being choked so hard she could barely breathe, tears welling in her eyes. "Cough cough... Are you crazy? I'm not some Lan Yanyan, let me go right now!"

Upon hearing Xue Lingbao's voice, Lan Yiren's excited eyes suddenly widened as if she had been stimulated, and she incredulously let go of his hand.

Wait, that sound...

That voice doesn't belong to Lan Yanyan at all!

"Who are you?!" Lan Yiren's eyes widened in anger as she frantically ripped at Xue Lingbao's mask.

"Speak up! Who are you?! Gu Momo, that bitch, dared to try and fool me with a fake!"

Caught off guard, Xue Lingbao was pushed to the ground, her mask falling off. "Crazy woman, are you insane? I already told you I'm not Lan Yanyan! If you hate Gu Momo, go find Gu Momo directly! It was all Gu Momo's plan..."

Lan Yiren's gaze was terrifyingly cold. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something...

Wait a minute, how could Gu Momo have prepared someone in advance to impersonate Lan Yanyan?

If she already knew that she was going to send someone to capture Lan Yanyan, then Gu Momo should only need to hide Lan Yanyan, right?

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and her expression immediately became alert:

"Men! Search her immediately!"

When Xue Lingbao saw that someone was going to search her, she immediately became agitated. "What are you doing? I'll just tell you what you're saying. Why are you touching me?"

Soon, Lan Yiren found something smaller than a fingernail on Xue Lingbao's collar.

Her deep black eyes widened, a deep hatred surging within them...

This is... a miniature tracker?!

Wait a minute, Gu Momo deliberately had them capture this imposter so that she could take the opportunity to infiltrate their base?

She immediately stomped on the tracker, shouting, "Guards! Level 1 alert immediately..."

Before she could finish speaking, a piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire base, the sound coming from all directions. Even the lights in the base flickered on and off, and various electrical currents surged wildly along the wires.

Lan Yiren's face darkened even further. "What on earth is going on! What happened?!"

"What are you all standing there for? Contact the intelligence department immediately, find out the cause, and report back to me!"

She had barely finished speaking when a subordinate's urgent report came from outside:

"Report! Our entire base's power system has been attacked by an unknown hacker, and the power system has failed!"

"Miss Lan! The base's internal surveillance system has been attacked by an unknown hacker; all surveillance cameras have malfunctioned!"

"Something terrible has happened! All control systems within the base have failed, and we are currently conducting emergency repairs. The cause of the failure is unknown!"

"..."

A barrage of chaotic messages poured in, making Lan Yi grit her teeth in anger. Who on earth was this?!
