Perhaps Bai Chen looked like an unknowing child who was tempted by candy from a stranger who might kidnap him. He should run away in that situation, right? Instead of reaching out to receive the candy, he should turn around before leaving the stranger, right?
Maybe that was the logic when Bai Chen encountered the situation when Wu Jinhai was willing to show him the other golden scales on his body that had been covered by his clothes all this time.
It just so happened that only the scales which were visible when Wu Jinhai didn't wear the golden mask were the ones on the man's forehead, but the other scales hid beneath the red clothes that the man wore every day would remain a mystery if Wu Jinhai didn't want to show them to anyone.
