After reading this message, I stood there for a long time...

Yet another truth was revealed along with Nicole's information.

Da gave me... At this point, I no longer need to make any assumptions. The fact is that Cao Xue went to Thailand on orders, and it was he who gave Ye Zhi a way out.

Through Nicole's words, Cao Xue finally admitted the truth.

...

Seeing that I hadn't gotten into the car yet, Ye Zhi got out of the car again. I didn't say much, but silently handed her my phone. In my opinion, she should know the truth better than I did.

Then, in the dim light, I saw her solemn expression.

In the ensuing silence, I spoke first, asking her, "Do you think Nicole and Cao Xue are trustworthy?"

“I don’t want to trust anyone until we find Sisi… You don’t need to tell Nicole much, just tell her to tell Cao Xue not to turn himself in for now… If Cao Xue turns himself in, it will completely change the current situation… I personally think that we need to keep Cao Jinbo hopeful enough so he won’t do anything to hurt Sisi… If he knows that Cao Xue is turning himself in, he will definitely go completely insane in despair…”

I nodded and replied to Nicole as she instructed. At this point, all our decisions were based on ensuring Yang Sisi's safety. However, I couldn't guarantee that such an important reply had been successfully sent.

...

Just as Ye Zhi and I were about to get into the car, a beam of light suddenly shot out from afar, and then we could faintly hear the sound of a car engine.

My heart immediately jumped into my throat... Since entering these mountains, we haven't encountered any vehicles. Could the car coming from the opposite direction be Cao Jinbo and his group?

Theoretically, this is possible, because they arrived half a day earlier than us. If they found Yang Sisi and Cao Xiaobei in Shangri-La, they should have already returned by then!

I instinctively clenched my hands, and when I looked at Ye Zhi beside me, her expression was also full of unease... She seemed to have the same guess as me. We both sensed danger in this desolate wilderness!
