The three children—Ou Muqi, Ma Weika, and Ouyang Yanyan—revealed their plan to rescue Miduo Xi to Yang Qin. Ouyang Yanyan received a message from the kidnappers through the online game "Undersea Chamber," instructing Yang Qin to go to the northern city's cruise terminal in the evening and board the "Ice Fruit" cruise ship to see Miduo Xi. Ouyang speculated that the kidnappers might be connected to the meteorite theft case or needed Miduo Xi's intellectual assistance. Although Mi Aidong was skeptical and suggested calling the police, Ouyang insisted he had a way to rescue Miduo Xi and decided to go alone. However, Ma Weika and Ou Muqi also demanded to join the rescue mission.

Meanwhile, Mai Jie and Ning Jie continued their conversation in the interrogation room. Ning Jie decided to cooperate with the police, admitting that he had been manipulated by MJ to use his position as a railway worker to help MJ smuggle the boy into the station. MJ contacted Ning Jie via phone, providing personal details about his family as leverage to force his cooperation, while also promising a payment of 300,000 yuan. Following MJ's instructions, Ning Jie kidnapped the boy and delivered him to a designated train compartment but claimed no knowledge of the boy's ultimate whereabouts. MJ had orchestrated the plan meticulously, using Ning Jie as bait to divert the police's attention.
