Lin Xiao took the paper, unfolded it, and found a series of names on it.

Upon seeing these names, Lin Xiao quickly realized, "This is... the guest list for that birthday party?"

Upon hearing this, Colin and Lu Ning both looked at the paper.

The three exchanged glances, and Lin Xiao said with a serious expression, "Now go back and compare the list of deceased members of the birthday party we investigated with the list of members of Happy Paradise to see if there are any people we haven't found."

Let's go!

Colin didn't use telekinesis this time because there were too many people.

The four of them ran quickly toward the branch office.

On the way, Lin Xiao looked at Zhu Yunxiao again and asked, "Besides this list, did your father say anything else?"

Zhu Yunxiao shook his head: "He didn't say anything, only that the list contains an important secret of Happy Paradise."

Lin Xiao frowned but did not ask any further questions.

The four of them moved very quickly and arrived at the branch office in no time.

Yu Ran was sitting at the front desk, looking somewhat anxious.

Upon seeing Lin Xiao return, she quickly looked behind him. When she saw Lu Ning, she smiled and said, "Lu Ning, are you alright? The captain and vice-captain rushed out just now, saying that something had happened to you."

Lin Xiao interrupted Yu Ran, saying seriously, "Xiao Ran, there's an emergency right now. Let's talk later."

Seeing the serious expressions on Lin Xiao and the others' faces, Yu Ran was taken aback, then quickly nodded: "Oh, do you need any help?"

"Need not."

Yu Ran said no more and sat back down in her seat.

Lin Xiao and the other three arrived at the activity room on the third floor.

Inside the activity room, Li Mu, Wang Qiwen, and the other two were all present.

As Li Mu was about to ask questions when he saw Lin Xiao and Colin rush in, he smelled a foul stench.

She frowned, and then saw a man who looked even dirtier than a homeless person walk in.

"Who is he?" Wang Qiwen frowned, looking at the man with some confusion.

Qiu Yuelin frowned and asked, "Captain, where is Brother Lu Ning?"

Soon, Qiu Yuelin stopped asking questions, because Lu Ning walked in last.

Upon seeing Lu Ning enter, the group was about to speak.

Lin Xiao interrupted them directly, saying, "Colin, contact headquarters and get a complete list of all members of this Happy Paradise event, including the deacons and high-ranking officials."

Colin nodded. "Okay."

Lin Xiao went to the coffee table and opened the drawer to rummage through it.

A short while later, he found a piece of paper.

Wei Xuan, sitting to the side, glanced at it and was slightly taken aback: "Captain, isn't this the list of victims from that birthday party? What's wrong?"

Lin Xiao frowned and said, "This matter of Happy Paradise may not be over yet; there are others behind it."

"What?!" Wang Qiwen was a little surprised: "Captain, how did you know?"

Lin Xiao took out the birthday party invitation list that Zhu Yunxiao had just given him, and while quickly comparing it, he said, "This is the list from that party. This is Zhu Jianyi's son, Zhu Yunxiao."

Wei Xuan and the others looked at Zhu Yunxiao, their expressions showing sudden realization.

Wei Xuan volunteered to step forward and compare with Lin Xiao.

However, they both frowned soon after.

“Something’s not right…” Wei Xuan murmured.

Lin Xiao also frowned, looking puzzled: "Something's not quite right."

"What's wrong?" Qiu Yuelin asked, puzzled.

Wei Xuan said, "I've compared them several times, and the names on both lists are the same."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxiao's expression immediately changed: "This is impossible! My father said there were very important clues above! How could they be the same? Is there some mistake?"

Wei Xuan and Lin Xiao exchanged a glance.

Lin Xiao said, "Take another look!"

Wei Xuan nodded, and the two began comparing them again.

They compared the results twice more and found that there was still no problem.

Just then, Colin suddenly walked over and said, "Captain, the list of members of Happy Paradise has arrived. Also, I have reported the information Zhu Yunxiao mentioned, which indicates that there may be Divine Graces in the base city. Headquarters said they will be on alert."

Lin Xiao nodded, took the phone from Colin, and began to look at the list on the phone.

He then frowned: "Still no, none of the members of Happy Paradise on this list are on the invitation list."

Wei Xuan added, "The list of victims and the list of inviters are exactly the same."

Colin frowned and looked at Zhu Yunxiao.

Li Mu and Qiu Yuelin, who were standing to the side, also looked at Zhu Yunxiao with suspicion.

Seeing the others' skepticism, Zhu Yunxiao looked incredulous: "Impossible! My father would never lie to me! If there really was no problem, how could he risk his life to tell me to hide first?"

Just then, Lu Ning suddenly spoke up: "Captain, there's one more person."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao and the others were taken aback and looked at Lu Ning.

Wei Xuan looked puzzled: "We've compared them carefully, and we haven't missed anyone."

Lu Ning calmly said, "We missed one. The woman who reported the case back then is the same woman we met when we went to deal with Gao Tianlin."

Upon hearing this, it was as if a thunderbolt had flashed through the minds of Lin Xiao and the others.

Lin Xiao and Colin stared wide-eyed, snapping out of their daze.

Lin Xiao looked astonished: "Yeah...why didn't we think of her before?"

Wang Qiwen and the other two also looked like they were questioning their existence.

"That shouldn't be the case. She's the one who reported the crime; we should remember her well."

Colin's pupils dilated, and he frowned, saying, "...Unless that woman is a very powerful Awakened One, with the ability to make us subconsciously ignore her."
