Metal Walnut Gets Gnawed Through

"Are you saying that the Chu He I met in Netherworld City is a fake?" Zhou Wen asked after some thought.

"No, it's the opposite. I think the Chu He who went to Zhuolu is a fake," An Sheng said with certainty. "From the information I obtained, everything about the Chu He that went to Zhuolu is perfect. However, this ends up making me feel that something is amiss."

After a pause, An Sheng continued, "According to my investigations, Professor Chu He studied the Taklamakan desert in the past. In the beginning, he indeed rejected the invitation from the expedition team, but for some reason, he later agreed. He then went to Zhuolu. However, during his time in Zhuolu, he never contacted his family. This makes me find it a little abnormal."

"In other words, someone really did some tampering?" Zhou Wen asked.
