Inside the pharmacy.

The group hadn't yet recovered from the "false clues."

Shen Ling'er had already flipped the card over.

The back is blank.

She glanced at the dust on the medicine cabinet.

Then point to the bottom row of cabinets.

"here."

Zhao Lei squatted down and pulled the cabinet.

It didn't move.

"Locked."

Shen Ling'er glanced through the crack in the cabinet door.

"It's not a lock."

"It's stuck."

Zhao Lei pulled hard.

The cabinet was finally opened.

There were no medicinal herbs inside.

There was only a folded little piece of paper.

Zhou Xiaoyu exclaimed softly, "There really are more!"

Zhao Lei took out the note.

It says:

"A real key is not afraid of the dark."

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhao Lei: "What does this mean?"

Bai Sisi thought about it.

"Is it hidden in a dark place?"

Chen Doudou said earnestly, "For example, the bottom of the pot."

Lin Jia: "..."

Shen Ling'er looked at the note and nodded.

"This one is real."

Zhao Lei immediately asked, "Why?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to the creases in the paper.

"It's been folded for a long time."

"There's some medicinal powder nearby."

"It wasn't just put there."

Zhao Lei looked at the camera, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Dear viewers!"

"The first real clue has appeared!"

"Teacher Ling'er judges authenticity by the age of the paper, the presence of dust, and the presence of medicinal powder!"

"The cunning old fox in the ultimate challenge, round one: Teacher Ling'er breaks the deadlock first!"

The barrage of comments exploded rapidly.

"Holy crap, she even checked how long it took to fold the note?"

"This is way too thin!"

"Huang Lei designed a false clue, but Shen Ling'er directly looked at the paper."

"Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's education system is starting to show off again: judging people, judging things, judging dust."

"The old fox is getting serious."

Meanwhile, in the teahouse.

Huang Lei found a clue.

It says:

"The key is at the highest point."

Zhang Yixing asked, "Brother, is this true?"

Huang Lei glanced at it and smiled.

"Half true, half false."

Zhang Yixing asked in confusion, "Are the clues only partially true?"

Huang Lei nodded.

"The production team likes to play word games."

"The highest point may not be the rooftop, but it could be the most expensive place, the most prestigious place, or a place whose name contains the character for 'high'."

Zhang Yixing suddenly realized.

"Where do we go?"

Huang Lei thought about it.

"There's no rush yet."

He turned his head to look in the direction of the pharmacy.

"Let's see which way that child goes first."

Zhang Yixing was taken aback.

"Should we follow her?"

Huang Lei laughed and said, "Sometimes smart people don't need to look for themselves."

"Following smarter people is also a method."

Zhang Yixing: "..."

The live stream chat erupted in laughter.

"Teacher Huang is starting to approve of Ling'er!"

"The fortune teller: Let me see how the five-year-old teacher walks first."

"A traditional skill of extreme challenges: tracking down the strong enemy."

"Huang Lei reacted quickly, knowing that he couldn't rely on observation alone."

Outside the pharmacy.

Shen Ling'er stopped as soon as she stepped out.

Yang Mi asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Someone wants to follow."

Zhao Lei immediately turned around.

The streets looked deserted.

Only a few extras were setting up stalls.

"No."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You're too direct."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi suppressed a laugh: "It means you can't see things around the corner."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Uncle Huang Lei is behind the teahouse."

Zhao Lei was shocked: "How did you know?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to a bronze mirror decoration on the side of the street.

"His clothes were reflected in the mirror."

Everyone looked in that direction.

Sure enough, a small bronze mirror was hanging on a street stall.

The mirror reflects the location of the teahouse's back door.

Huang Lei's clothes flashed by.

Zhao Lei was completely stunned.

"No way!"

"You even look at reflections in mirrors?"

Bai Sisi said softly, "She was observing the surroundings the whole time."

Yang Mi looked down at Shen Ling'er, smiling gently yet proudly.

"What should we do then?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"Let him go."

Zhao Lei was taken aback.

Why?

Shen Ling'er's face remained calm.

Those who follow others have their eyes on their feet.

"They can't see the pit under their feet."

Zhao Lei gasped.

The screen was flooded with comments.

"That's ruthless! Not only did she discover Huang Lei was following her, she also planned to set him up!"

"Teacher Huang is in danger!"

"Is this the five-year-old demon pill?"

"Just how much江湖 (jianghu, the world of martial arts and chivalry) experience did Shen Fei teach us?"

"Those who follow others can't see the pitfalls beneath their feet"—this saying is perfect for the workplace.

Shen Ling'er led the parent-child team forward.

But she did not go to the dock.

They didn't go to the tall buildings either.

She walked toward a lantern shop.

Zhao Lei asked in a low voice, "What are we doing here?"

Shen Ling'er looked at the row of lanterns hanging at the door.

"Find a dark place."

Bai Sisi realized what was happening.

"A real key is not afraid of the dark."

"Could there be hidden compartments in the lantern shop?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Darkness can only be hidden where there is light."

Zhao Lei wanted to write it down again.

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"That's cheap."

Zhao Lei: "..."

"Teacher Ling'er now offers different prices?"

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "Difficult things are expensive, while easy-to-eat things are cheap."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Not far away, Huang Lei and Zhang Yixing quietly followed.

Huang Lei raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched Shen Ling'er enter the lantern shop.

Why did she go to the lantern shop?

Zhang Yixing whispered, "Could there be a real clue inside?"

Huang Lei thought about it.

"Possibly."

"But it's also possible that she's discovered us."

Zhang Yixing was taken aback.

"Should we still follow?"

Huang Lei remained silent for two seconds.

"and."

"But don't get too close."

Behind the scenes, the director of "Go Fighting!" became nervous.

The director of the parent-child program silently took a sip of water.

"Don't struggle."

The director of "Go Fighting!": "..."

......

The lantern shop was dimly lit.

Rows of red lanterns hung down from the roof beams.

Some lights were on, some were off.

There was also a pile of old lamp holders in the corner.

As soon as the children went inside, Zhao Mengmeng whispered, "It feels a bit like nighttime here."

Zhou Xiaoyu nodded and took Su Wan's hand tightly.

Chen Doudou looked around.

There's no food here.

Lin Jia: "..."

Shen Ling'er did not search around.

She stood at the doorway and first looked around at the ground.

Then he pointed to the left.

"Don't step on that."

Zhao Lei's foot, which had just stepped out, stopped abruptly.

Which one?

Shen Ling'er pointed to a slightly darker-colored wooden board.

"It will ring."

Zhao Lei: "What's wrong with the noise again?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "A trap."

Zhao Lei immediately pulled his foot back.

"Did the production team set up a trap?"

Just as he finished speaking, Huang Lei's voice came from the doorway.

"Let's come in and take a look too."

Huang Lei led Zhang Yixing into the lantern shop.

His expression was very natural.

"What a coincidence."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"unfortunately."

Huang Lei's smile faltered.

Zhang Yixing lowered his head, trying not to laugh.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but add insult to injury.

"Teacher Huang, Teacher Ling'er isn't buying it."

Huang Lei smiled and shrugged.

"Okay, then we'll follow you."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Be honest, and you'll fall less."

Huang Lei raised an eyebrow.

"To fall less?"

next second.

Sun Honglei's voice came from outside.

"Huang Lei! Have you found the place?"

He strode in.

Huang Lei was about to remind him.

"Honglei, no—"

late.

Sun Honglei stepped onto the slightly darker-colored wooden board.

Click.

Suddenly, a row of lanterns on the roof beams drooped down.

Several red ribbons fell instantly, wrapping Sun Honglei halfway around his neck.

Sun Honglei froze on the spot.

"What the hell?"

The scene was quiet at first.

Then they burst out laughing.

Huang Bo and Wang Xun had just arrived from the door when they saw this scene and immediately burst into laughter.

Huang Bo: "Honglei, have you been taken in by the lantern shop?"

Wang Xun: "Brother Honglei, you look just like a door god hanging up in a New Year's painting right now."

Sun Honglei struggled twice.

"Who designed this?!"

Shen Ling'er stood to the side, her small face calm.

You stepped on it yourself.

Sun Honglei: "..."

Zhao Lei laughed so hard he had to lean against the wall.

"Dear viewers!"

"Teacher Ling'er already warned us not to step on it."

"But Brother Honglei, with his steady recklessness, managed to trigger the trap on the first try!"

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, Sun Honglei never disappoints!"

Ling'er: It will make a sound. Honglei: I'll step on it anyway.

"This isn't an extreme challenge, it's the Demon Ball Fishing."

"Huang Lei followed other people's feet, while Sun Honglei didn't even look at his own feet."

"Ling'er's words just now came true! Those who follow can't see the pit, but those who rush in go straight into it."

Huang Lei looked at Sun Honglei, who was wrapped in red silk, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"She figured it out a long time ago."

Huang Bo looked at Shen Ling'er with admiration in his eyes.

"Little friend, how do you know there's something wrong with that board?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "The gray is different."

Huang Bo squatted down to take a look.

There were indeed slight scratches around the wooden board.

Because the mechanism opens and closes repeatedly, the edges are cleaner than other areas.

Huang Bo nodded.

"I'm impressed."

"I didn't even notice that detail."

Sun Honglei is still struggling.

"Don't administer the medicine yet, save me first!"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You've been arrested."

Sun Honglei: "I can still move!"

Shen Ling'er: "That's what bad guys say when they get caught."

Sun Honglei: "..."

The audience burst into laughter again.

Huang Bo laughed until tears streamed down his face.

"Honglei, your identity is now completely confirmed."

The production team announced: "Sun Honglei has triggered a mechanism, freezing him in place for three minutes."

Sun Honglei's eyes widened.

"Three minutes?!"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Calm down."

Sun Honglei: "..."

Zhao Lei clapped his hands immediately.

"Teacher Ling'er even offered suggestions for psychological intervention."

Huang Lei looked at Shen Ling'er and finally put away his joking and relaxed attitude.

"You brought us in here on purpose so we'd trigger the traps?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"It's not you."

Huang Lei: "Who is that?"

Shen Ling'er looked at Sun Honglei.

"he."

Sun Honglei: "..."

Huang Bo smiled and patted Huang Lei on the shoulder.

"Teacher Huang, you're included in this round too."

Huang Lei took a light breath and then smiled.

"sharp."

"She knew I would follow, and she also knew that Honglei would get angry if he heard me follow."

Zhang Yixing's eyes widened in surprise.

"So she started designing right after leaving the pharmacy?"

Shen Ling'er corrected.

"It's not design."

Everyone looked at her.

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "He's too easy to guess."

Sun Honglei: "..."

The audience burst into laughter again.

The barrage of comments went completely crazy.

Sun Honglei: Don't I have any pride?

"It's not a design, it's just that you're too easy to guess, hahaha!"

"Even Huang Lei and Huang Bo are impressed."

"Ling'er single-handedly lured out three people: Huang Lei was following her, Zhang Yixing was following her, and Sun Honglei fell into the trap."

"This kid is worth an entire strategist team!"

"Shenyang Aircraft Corporation is showing off behind the scenes again: His daughter beats the veteran of the 'Go Fighting!' show to a pulp."

Deep within the lantern shop.

Shen Ling'er walked to a black lantern that was not lit.

She reached out and patted it.

A clue card fell out from the bottom of the lantern.

Zhao Mengmeng exclaimed with delight, "We found it again!"

Zhao Lei quickly picked it up.

It says:

"The key is hidden in the quietest, noisiest place."

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Lei fell into deep thought after reading the sentence.

"The quietest place amidst the noise?"

Chen Doudou asked seriously, "You don't talk while eating?"

Lin Jia: "..."

Huang Bo stroked his chin.

"This clue is interesting."

Huang Lei also looked over.

"The noisiest, quietest place..."

Shen Ling'er took the clue and glanced at it.

"The stage."

Huang Lei was taken aback.

Why?

Shen Ling'er said, "The stage is usually the noisiest."

"It's quietest when there's no filming."

Huang Bo's eyes lit up immediately.

"yes!"

Zhao Lei exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go to the stage!"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Don't run too straight."

Zhao Lei was taken aback: "Why?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "They heard it too."

Huang Bo: "..."

Huang Lei smiled.

"We did hear it."

Sun Honglei was still wrapped in ribbons.

"I heard it too! But I can't move!"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You're better suited to quiet places."

Sun Honglei: "..."

.......

The stage is located in the center of the film and television city.

To get past the lantern shop, you have to cross a long street.

Although Sun Honglei was frozen for three minutes, Huang Lei, Huang Bo, Wang Xun, Zhang Yixing, and Sha Yi were still able to move.

Huang Lei quickly made arrangements in a low voice.

"We'll split into two groups."

"Huang Bo, you and Wang Xun go around through the back alley."

"Yixing, follow me down the main street and attract their attention."

"Sha Yi, try to stop Zhao Lei if you see what's going on."

Sha Yi was taken aback.

Why stop Zhao Lei?

Huang Lei looked at Zhao Lei, who was already getting excited in the distance.

"He is most easily led astray."

Sha Yi nodded earnestly.

"Reasonable."

the other side.

Zhao Lei was about to rush in.

Shen Ling'er grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Slow down."

Zhao Lei stopped immediately.

"Teacher Ling'er, what are your instructions?"

Shen Ling'er looked at both sides of the long street.

"Uncle Huang Bo will walk at the back."

Zhao Lei was startled.

"How did you know?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"He was looking at the stage, not at where he was going."

Bai Sisi asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "I've already decided on my path, so I won't look at it."

Zhou Chen said softly, "So, he already knows which route to take?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Uncle Huang Lei will have someone go around to his back."

"Because he himself is too much like someone who knows how to make things complicated."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi couldn't help but laugh.

"She's even started summarizing Teacher Huang's strategic style."

Yang Mi lowered his head and asked, "Then how do we get there?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to a small shop selling masks next to her.

"Go in first."

Zhao Lei was stunned.

"Aren't we going to the stage?"

Shen Ling'er: "Go."

"But we can't let them know how we got there."

Zhao Lei blinked.

"Should we go around too?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"Face swap".

Everyone: "..."
