Accordingly, on the afternoon of October 30, Le Huu Tuan Anh cycled to visit a relative, then traveled on National Highway 1A to Nghe An. On the evening of October 30, he slept at a bus stop, and continued cycling to Vinh City the next morning.

When I got to Vinh market and saw the sign, I realized I was lost, so I cycled back. When I got to Dien Chau district, it was dark, so I went to a local's house on the side of the road to ask, and then they took me to the police station to report.

Immediately after that, Dien Chau District Police called the local authorities to verify. On the morning of November 1, the family took a car to the headquarters to ask to take the child home. It is known that the child was lost for nearly 250km.
