Ye Zheng sensed that something was off. "Trapped in the Maze? Then how did she get the watch out of the Maze?"
Ye Zheng did not doubt the message Huangfu Miaomiao had left behind. She doubted Xiao Shu instead, immediately turning an unfriendly gaze on him and demanding sharply, "Were you hiding something? Did she give you this watch, or did you steal it?!"

Li Qing shook his head. "I can't... She was muted by a Senior Administrator. My authority level isn't high enough."
Ye Zheng said irritably, "Authority, authority. Every day, it's always that your authority isn't
