Cao Xu was not lying, as could be seen from his agitated reaction and grumpy look at that time.

“I inadvertently asked Meng Yijun and others how they lost their badges. Except from Cao Xu, the other four said the same thing, that Cao Xu had called them up in the middle of the night and asked them to put their badges in his custody. In the end, in addition to Cao Xu’s, all their badges had been lost in the morning. Cao Xu, however, said that he had never taken any of their badges, and he had been sleeping all night except for one time.”

“You mean someone had taken control of Cao Xu and used him to cheat on their team badges?” Na Ken asked and suddenly he remembered something.

“That’s right. When I took Lin Ke and the rest out of the Dark of Forest, the team didn’t know that their badges had been lost. They only realized that their badges were already gone when I told them. And before that, all their badges were also in the custody of one person.”
