After taking a few steps down the stairs, Shang Jianyao suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian turned her head and asked, "You can speak now."

Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and punched his left palm. "We forgot to ask Aester another question!"

Upon being reminded, Jiang Baimian immediately recalled that Aester was involved in something else: Some of the goods that Smith's Rootless team sent to the ice ruin came from Aester!

In other words, even if he wasn't the cargo owner suspected to be an Eighth Research Institute partner, he should've seen that person or obtained some clues.

The latter two situations were more likely. After all, Aester had only provided a portion of the supplies, and Gitis had easily found this out. It didn't match the caution used to erase memories on a large scale.
