“We’ll find out when we get there. It’s just dawn, the Marquis’s people shouldn’t be here this early.” Jiang Cheng turned to look at Yao Shunyu, “How are you? Can you still move?”

Yao Shunyu stood up firmly, moving his arms and legs. “No problem.”

“Good. You, me, Wang Fugui, Li Bai, the four of us will go together. We’ll be quick. The rest of you stay here. If the Marquis’s people come looking, tell them we’re missing one person, that the few missing people have gone out to look for him, and that you’re not sure where they went to look.”

After giving instructions, Jiang Cheng turned to leave, but Lu Qin suddenly stood out. “It’s too dangerous. It’s better if Shao Tong and I go with you.”

Hearing this, the mature and prudent Zhang Qizheng stood out, wanting to dissuade them. “Don’t all go! If you two, Lu Qin, go too, what if that man from last night comes looking again?”

After all, only Jiang Cheng, Li Bai, Lu Qin, and Shao Tong had gone out to look for people last night, so only they knew some things. If they were really taken by the Marquis, answering questions would definitely lead to mistakes.

Zhu Jie immediately understood and chimed in, “Lu Qin, you’re a night watchman, you’re definitely more experienced in dealing with this kind of situation than us ordinary people. You should stay and help us.”

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng and the others didn’t hesitate any longer and left immediately with their people.

Watching Jiang Cheng and the others leave, Lu Qin, feeling isolated, sneered. “Miss Zhu, don’t be so modest. If you and this Mr. Tang are only considered ordinary people, then I might as well quit being a night watchman.”

On the other side, Jiang Cheng and the others moved quickly, with Yao Shunyu leading the way towards the backyard. “You suspect Lu Qin and Shao Tong are suspicious?” Li Bai asked Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly. “Just suspicion, but no solid evidence.”

The fatty was also concerned about Lu Qin's identity. After all, the Night Watchers were their biggest enemy. The current chairman, who had never shown his face but had severely damaged the teleportation gate project, was a thorn in their side.

Number 3 had also lost his Gate because of this, becoming a useless person in his own eyes.

“Doctor, what exactly have you thought of?” Based on the fatty’s understanding of Jiang Cheng, his suspicions were never unfounded. Although he only said that, he must have sensed a clue.

Sure enough, since they were all his own people here, Jiang Cheng didn’t hide anything. “Do you remember the second night we came here? The remote residence.”

The fatty nodded repeatedly. It was on that night that they were drawn into a strange dream. In the dream, they were on a sinking ship in the depths of the boundless Chun Shen Lake, and Gao Yanqing had died tragically in that dream, leaving only half of his body. This memory was unforgettable.

Yao Shunyu paused slightly, as if he had been reminded. “That’s right. In that dream, we all saw it, except for Lu Qin and Shao Tong.”

“Their explanation was that they were lurking in the water, so no one found them. At the time, things were rushed, and we didn’t pay attention. But now that I think about it, the space inside the ship wasn’t that big. It would be difficult to escape the eyes of so many of us.” Jiang Cheng calmly analyzed the problem.

“We discussed it at the time. Maybe the two of them didn’t go at all. They… uh… they might have avoided this dream through some special means,” the fatty recalled.

Jiang Cheng shook his head. “At that time, it was just a guess, and the possibility of this guess was very low. Entering the dream should have been the rule that night. You can understand it as a forced means. But now, we have a new guess. Perhaps the problem isn’t in that dream, but in…” Jiang Cheng reached out and tapped his head, “Here.”

The fatty was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood. “You’re saying there’s something wrong with our memories?”

“That’s right, just like last night.” Jiang Cheng slowed his pace. “Perhaps the problem with the memories isn’t you, but us.”

“Someone has tampered with our memories.” Jiang Cheng’s last sentence was like a bomb dropped into the water.

Li Bai’s pupils widened slightly, then she shook her head violently. “Impossible. I admit that Lu Qin, especially Shao Tong, is not simple, but they absolutely don’t have the ability to tamper with other people’s memories. This ability is too heaven-defying. If it was done by a ghost, I might believe it, but as for a person… impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Li Bai was originally from a medical background, and she had a more thorough understanding of the complexity of memory than ordinary people. Although the abilities of the Disciples were bizarre, she didn’t believe they could forge memories.

But at this moment, the fatty swallowed hard. That’s right, he also thought of someone. He did know a Disciple who could tamper with memories: Lin Wan’er.

After Jiang Cheng opened his mouth and briefly told Li Bai about Lin Wan’er’s ability, Li Bai was completely dumbfounded. Then came a wave of chills. If even a person’s memory could be tampered with and forged, could this person still be considered a person?

To go a step further, if the memory was tampered with, how much connection would this person still have with their previous self?

“The person you mentioned… is a friend, or an enemy?” Li Bai stared at Jiang Cheng, she seemed to care about this very much.

“Is family.” Jiang Cheng said calmly.

Hearing these two words, Li Bai breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay, I believe you. There really… there really is such an ability. I was too shallow.”

“But… but since our friend has a Gate with this kind of ability, then Lu Qin, or Shao Tong, shouldn’t have it. After all, I’ve never heard of two Gates with the same ability. The Gate… or rather, the things behind the Gate, are all unique.” Li Bai’s tone was firm, it could be seen that she was very confident in what she said.

“Could it be that your family… also has something to do with the Night Watchers?” Yao Shunyu suddenly asked.

Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment. He didn’t want to explain his relationship with Lin Wan’er too much, and Lin Wan’er’s identity was not convenient to reveal. Although he believed that Yao Shunyu and Li Bai were reliable friends, reliability was also graded. After all, they were not the fatty.

“No, my family has nothing to do with the Night Watchers. As for Lu Qin and Shao Tong, we just need to keep a close eye on them.” Jiang Cheng reassured Yao Shunyu and Li Bai. “Don’t worry too much. Not only us, but Mr. Zhang, and Zhu Jie, Tang Qisheng, and the others, also suspect Lu Qin and Shao Tong. These people deliberately held them back just now to give us a chance to investigate alone. Can’t you see that?”

“Then how should we deal with it? I mean… the memories.” The fatty was also unsure.

Jiang Cheng slowly took out a pen from his clothes, as well as a crumpled piece of paper, and said slowly, “When you encounter a key question, write it down immediately and carry it on your person. Black and white on paper can’t lie, right?”
