At this moment, all was quiet, except for one place that was brightly lit.
That was the only place to enjoy oneself in this vast county town.
There are delicate and graceful girls there, and also fine wine.
Thinking of this, Lin Sheng swallowed hard, then got up and walked forward.
He was recognized as soon as he reached the door.
"Oh, Officer Lin, you haven't had your good days lately..." It was a madam who looked to be about forty years old.
She looked Lin Sheng up and down, her eyes holding a deeper meaning.
Those who do this business come into contact with many people from all over the world.
Therefore, they can also uncover many private matters that others do not know.
Judging from the madam's expression, she clearly already knew about Lin Sheng's dismissal.
But Lin Sheng didn't notice and kept his head down as he walked inside.
"I want to see Narcissus..." he muttered to himself.
But the next moment, he was gently pushed by the madam.
Lin Sheng took a few steps back, his face clearly showing dissatisfaction.
"If you want to see Narcissus, you'll have to pay up first." The madam smiled, but there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.
A hint of embarrassment immediately flashed in Lin Sheng's eyes.
He coughed twice to cover his mouth, and said somewhat impatiently, "I have the money. My brother will bring it to you in a little while."
As he spoke, he tried to go inside again.
But at this moment, the brothel madam's eyes clearly lost their smile.
She gestured to the thugs standing on either side of the door, and two rather burly men blocked Lin Sheng's way.
"I'm sorry, Officer Lin, we're in the lowly business of prostitution. We don't have money, so you can't come in..."
Lin Sheng was thrown out.
Cold and exhausted, he had nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to find a dilapidated temple and huddle there for the night, just like the beggars.
The night was incredibly long, but it also made him hate Wan Kongshan's family even more.
If it weren't for his family, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state now, despised even by cats and dogs.
So the next morning, just as dawn broke, he inquired his way to Blue Ocean Village.
At this moment, the Wan family had no idea of the impending danger.
Yesterday, Zhang Xiu made up for some rain, and Wan Suizhou accompanied him out early in the morning.
The two children went to school as usual, leaving only Wanwan at home.
Lin Sheng lay in ambush at the Wan family's house for a long time, and only after everyone had left did he cautiously sneak into the courtyard.
He was very hungry at that moment, having not eaten for a day and a night. So he thought of finding something to eat and then taking the most valuable things from the Wan family to pawn for some money.
Little did she know that as soon as she climbed into the courtyard, Baili Wanwan inside the house heard the commotion.
She thought it was a neighbor or her aunt who had suddenly returned, so she didn't think much of it and went to check in the yard.
Lin Sheng had no idea there was a little girl in the house, so he quickly hid and carefully observed her.
"That's strange, there was definitely some movement..."
Baili Wanwan was a little puzzled when she saw that no one was in the courtyard, but she didn't think much of it. On the contrary, Lin Sheng, who was hiding in the corner, felt a bit malicious when he saw Baili Wanwan.
He saw that Baili Wanwan was born with fair skin and was very cute, more beautiful than many children he had ever seen.
He had seen some young girls who were not yet of marriageable age serving drinks as maids when he visited brothels.
Then, once they reach a certain age, they sell their virginity based on their appearance and other factors, and then they can continue to take customers as usual.
Lin Sheng thought to himself, if he sold such a beautiful baby to a madam, he would surely receive a lot of money. Firstly, he would have money and could live a carefree life. Secondly, it would also relieve his hatred for the Wan family. Letting their child do the lowly business of prostitution would be very satisfying!
Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but feel restless.
Lin Sheng then felt his pockets and found that he still had half a stick of sleeping potion on him.
This was taken from the person we caught earlier when we apprehended the womanizer.
So he lit it, poked a hole in the window paper, and carefully stuffed the sleeping incense inside.
Sure enough, a short while later, he heard Baili Wanwan sway and fall onto the bed.
Lin Sheng extinguished the sleeping incense, waited a while for it to dissipate, and then stepped into the house.
Seeing that no one was in the room, he picked up little Baili Wanwan and walked outside.
If things went smoothly, they did go smoothly; they didn't encounter any members of the Wan family along the way.
After leaving Lanhai Village, Lin Sheng led his men straight to the brothel.
Since it was daytime, there were hardly any customers in the building, and the girls were taking their beauty nap.
Lin Sheng tied Baili Wanwan up, put her in a sack, and then knocked on the door.
The madam came out yawning, and when she saw it was Lin Sheng, a hint of impatience appeared on her face.
"I think it's a bit inappropriate for Young Master Lin to come looking for a young lady in broad daylight."
"Mom, you've misunderstood..." Lin Sheng smiled mysteriously at her, then glanced at the sack on the ground and said to the madam, "I have some goods here that I'd like you to take a look at..."
The madam understood the jargon used in this transaction instantly.
She glanced at the sack at Lin Sheng's feet, then at the few passersby outside, and quickly opened the door a crack.
Then, while urging Lin Sheng to come in, he cursed, "Lin Sheng, are you crazy? You're cramming people into my place in broad daylight, are you afraid I'll cause too much trouble?"
The two were talking, half annoyed and half reproachful, completely unaware that the person inside the sack had made even the slightest movement.
This was the first time Baili Wanwan had been drugged, so her body had no resistance to this type of drug.
She had been unconscious for a long time, and then her brain began to vaguely regain consciousness.
She felt very uncomfortable, so she tried to move her body, but found that she seemed to be tied up.
In a daze, she heard some ringing and some incoherent words, but she didn't understand them.
Moreover, the drug was too strong for a child's body, and she quickly fell asleep again.
"My mom would be shocked if she saw this..."
After finishing speaking, Lin Sheng opened the sack with a smug look on his face.
Then, Baili Wanwan's obedient sleeping face was revealed inside the sack.
In that instant, Lin Sheng did see the surprise in the madam's eyes.
It was as if I had obtained a rare treasure.
But in an instant, the madam's eyes turned to disdain: "The quality is not bad, but it's too small."
Upon hearing this, Lin Sheng hurriedly said, "That's great! With proper training, he'll surely become famous throughout the capital in the future!"
Looking at Baili Wanwan's face, Lin Sheng could almost imagine her future fame and beauty.
Hearing this, the madam was somewhat tempted, but she said insincerely, "It's easy to say. Do you know how much silver it costs me to train a top courtesan!"
After some haggling, Baili Wanwan was eventually sold to a brothel for eighty taels of silver.
Don't underestimate this small amount of money; in this remote coastal city, which is extremely far from the capital, it's already considered a high price.
Many other biological parents sold their daughters for no more than ten taels of silver, with the highest being twenty taels, before pushing their daughters into a sea of suffering.
