Leaving the encirclement, Yang Xiao opened his phone to find, as he expected, that his calls were almost blowing up his phone. He had just returned a call to the office when Beibei's call came through. After understanding the situation, he immediately hid nearby, waiting for Beibei and her group to arrive.
In the meantime, he used the Soul-Capturing Mirror to sneak back into the villa to retrieve his backpack from the Mirror World and changed into his own clothes.
Soon after, Beibei and Da Xiong arrived. Yang Xiao spotted them and deliberately took a detour, approaching from a different direction to look as though he had just arrived.
"Captain, where did you go?" Xi Menxiu asked in pursuit.
"You don't look very well," Beibei remarked, eyeing Yang Xiao's somewhat pale face suddenly.
