Gu Ren whispered again, "Third sister, I think we're going to do something great today. I saw human traffickers, and they've got their eyes on us two weaklings."
Gu Xin was taken aback, looked around, and then asked, "Where?"
Gu Ren immediately stopped her: "Third sister, don't look around. Look at me, and then listen to what I have to say."
Gu Xin didn't find anyone, so she turned to look at Gu Ren.
Gu Ren said, “I’m sure we’re being watched. But Third Sister, these people are usually organized, and they’re not just targeting us. Although we look cute and are indeed very valuable, there must be other children and girls being targeted, and they might have been kidnapped. So, what I’m suggesting is that we go along with them, find their hideout, get a clear picture of the situation, and then wipe them all out.”
Gu Xin frowned: "No, I can't let anything happen to you."
Gu Ren grew anxious: "Third Sister, with you here, what could possibly happen to me? Besides, I'm incredibly clever! If we find them now, it'll be useless. We need to catch the whole group. Think about it, how could a group of kidnappers act alone? Usually, they're a group scattered in this situation. On a day like today, it's definitely not just about abducting one or two. We two are safe, but what about the others? Even if we arrest the people watching us now, they probably won't know where the others are hiding. Besides, arresting them now would mean alerting the enemy. Third Sister, I'm not joking with you; I'm very serious. Think about it, you're the Protector Princess of our Great Zhou. We can't just arrest one or two kidnappers and be done with it, can we?"
Gu Xin pursed her lips and looked at Gu Ren.
Gu Ren continued to persuade her, "Aren't we doing a good deed? Who knows where those girls and children who were taken away will be taken? You're a girl, so maybe no one will tell you, but young girls are usually sold to very terrible places. The situation is a little better for children, but how much better is it compared to being with their parents?"
Gu Xin put Gu Ren down on the ground, took his hand, and walked towards the alley next to her.
Gu Ren grabbed her arm: "Third Sister, where are we going?"
Gu Xin looked straight ahead: "Just do as you say. Don't be afraid, I'll keep an eye on you. We'll definitely be in the same place, don't worry, I'll watch over you. If you get scared, just call me and I'll come find you right away."
Gu Ren was overjoyed: "Alright, Third Sister, don't worry, I'm very clever."
Gu Xin pulled Gu Ren into the alley, and soon they sensed that someone was following them.
The siblings weren't afraid; Gu Ren was even a little excited.
Once inside the alley, it wasn't as bright anymore. Gu Xin gave Gu Ren a snuff bottle and told him to smell it so he could stay awake.
Gu Ren wanted to ask him why he was carrying this thing around, but there were people behind him, and he was afraid of being overheard, so he obediently sniffed it a few times and put it away in his clothes.
A moment later, the siblings felt someone patting them from behind. They turned around at the same time and smelled a strange odor.
They were still quite lucid, but the siblings still had to put on an act, so they just passed out.
"Tsk, I must say, these two look pretty good quality. They're definitely the two best performers among the people who came out to do this mission today."
"This girl is definitely worth a good price!"
