Upon hearing this, Lin Wu thought of what Fu Li had said about capturing a member of the Huo Family. She said, "The extra group of people must be from the Huo Family. Initially, Kate and Jia Shen, whom the Forbidden Area had sent, were replaced by people from the Huo Family. Those they brought with them included some who were also from the Huo Family."
"I think it was them who took advantage of the chaos to escape with those two bags of mining substances. But when they realized you had become aware, in order to successfully bring the items back to their base, only two continued to flee, leaving the others behind to delay you, and you caught them. The two who escaped also had a conflict, which left one injured and abandoned. That person was found by Fu Li's people and brought back."
This was the most reasonable possibility so far.
Gong Ye frowned and said, "Does that mean the one who escaped managed to take the items back to their base successfully?"
