Maybe the little boy had been really hungry for a long time, so he ate voraciously. While he was eating, Xia Jin asked the older boy:
"Are you two brothers? Why were you tricked into coming here?"
"It's not my biological brother. My younger brother came here first. When I came, everyone else was trying to grab his food. He had nothing to eat, so I gave him some of mine."
"He's so young and can't compete with others, so I protect him so that his food won't be snatched away by others."
Xia Jin looked at him and said gently, "You are great. Without you, your brother would not have been able to hold on until now."
"They haven't fed you in a few days."
"For two days, everyone could only rely on the food they had hidden away to fill their stomachs. They also had to be careful not to let these people snatch it away. Every time the food was distributed, although it was small, no one dared to eat it all at once."
After saying this, he leaned close to Xia Jin and whispered, "Sister, do you have a way to rescue us all? I miss my parents. I'm afraid they will sell me somewhere else and I won't be able to see them anymore."
"If no one buys me, they will blind and lame me and make me beg on the street. I'm scared, sister."
Xia Jin touched his head and said, "Sister, you have a very capable boyfriend. I believe in him and he will definitely find a way to rescue us. Don't be afraid. When you get out, you will be able to see your parents."
"Let's figure this out together, okay? Can you tell me your name?"
"My name is Shen Chi."
"Really? My sister's awesome boyfriend is also named Shen. I'll introduce you to him when we go out. He'll definitely be happy to see you being so brave. I'll tell you in secret, he's a soldier."
"So don't be afraid, he will definitely rescue us."
"Um."
After comforting him, Xia Jin asked him for some more information. He had been here for so many days and must have met many people. It wouldn't hurt to get to know more about him.
It was from his mouth that she heard another shocking piece of news. She had not expected these people to be so cruel and heartless.
"Sister, there was a little kid who kept crying, and they took him out. When he came back, his leg was broken, so we didn't dare to make a sound."
"They also said that if we didn't obey, they would break our legs. Even if we were sent back, no one would want us. No one wants disabled children."
Hearing these words, Xia Jin said angrily: "They are simply beasts. What they did is unforgivable. They will definitely be punished."
"Does Shen Chi know where the child is now? Are they just going to leave him alone?"
Shen Chi said with some fear: "They took him away yesterday and he is no longer locked up with us. I heard their whispers."
"They said we were there to be sold for money, and my brother, whose leg was broken, was there to beg, so we were not the same. So they took him away and locked him up with the others."
"Sometimes they would take the older sisters out and then release them at night, but every time they came back, the older sisters were very sad."
When Xia Jin heard what they did, she wished she could torture them to death right away. The child was too young to know what happened to those girls, but she knew.
Xia Jin sat with the two of them in the corner, with a galaxy between them, and no one spoke to each other.
Xia Jin wanted to speak, but the people over there had been detained for so many days and were frightened by these human traffickers, so even if she wanted to speak, no one would say anything.
If these two children were not so hungry, they would not have come here. She said that if these human traffickers were just shot when they get out, it would be too easy for them. They should be tortured to death by slow slicing.

Although Gu Jingmo and his team gained nothing, fortunately, the people he sent out gave them some useful information.
"Mr. Gu, this morning, when this grandmother was visiting, she saw several people carrying things. She was discovered at the time, so she had to pretend to be blind to get away with it."
"He said it was several young men. She's old and her eyesight isn't very good, so at first she thought it was food or something."
"But then she saw them all stop and look at her with ferocious looks, and she felt something was wrong. But she was just an old lonely woman, so she didn't rush forward."
"When she saw them trying to come over, she quickly pretended not to see them and walked past. After seeing her leave, those people didn't do anything."
"They carried the bags and walked forward. According to our investigation here, they said that only three of the seven or eight houses in front were occupied."
"The people in the other rooms are either dead or gone. All the old people are gone, and all the young people have left."
Xia Yanbing was delighted to hear what he said, "That's great! Let's quickly tell the police to search every household. We'll definitely find Xiao Jin then."
"It would be easy if we went door to door, but for Miss Xia's safety, I don't recommend it."
"We should first know which house it is, and then determine her location before taking action, otherwise..."
Gu Jingmo looked at his men and said, "Old Su, you are right. I think so too."
"Brother, don't be anxious. Listen to me. They just took the person away like that, and they're not afraid of being exposed. This means they must have another place to hold him."
"Even if we go and search their house, it will be useless. They are probably a gang. If we go and find no one, we will alert the culprits."
Xia Yanbing also knew this and said with some concern: "Then what do you say we should do? If we can't search, is there any other way? What if they take advantage of this opportunity to hurt Xiao Jin?"
Just when they were struggling, the director and Xie Fanghua also came over and brought a task that made Gu Jingmo more certain of his guess.
After hearing the news, Xia Yanbing thought to himself, fortunately, no one listened to me and went to search, otherwise they would definitely not find it.
After listening to them, Gu Jingmo said, "We have also determined their range. It is in the few houses over there."
"But I think there must be a secret passage in their house, or some other place where they can hide people. If we go in like this, we will definitely not be able to find anyone."
