Wen Jingchi was shocked and curious about Chu Weiyue's past.
After returning home, he sent someone to investigate secretly.
Chu Weiyue just got home and found her grandmother holding a piece of yellow cloth, looking worried.
There was a guest list next to her, and when she saw Chu Weiyue coming, she immediately handed it to her.
"Weiyue, you are in charge of this birthday party, please check if there are any missing people on the list. Grandma is old and can't remember clearly, so we need to avoid making a fool of ourselves by missing someone."
After taking it and looking at it, Chu Weiyue's eyes flashed with surprise, and she was a little angry: "Grandma, the Ninth Prince is missing!"
Grandma was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly: "Grandma also felt that an important person was missing. It turned out that it was my girl's sweetheart..."
Chu Weiyue didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she raised her chin and smiled: "Of course! The Ninth Prince must be present. I will write the invitation myself now."
The grandmother next to her covered her mouth and laughed, she saw everything but didn't say it out loud.
The other side.
The subordinate who was in charge of the investigation came back and went to meet Wen Jingchi first.
"Your Majesty, I have done my research. That woman does raise many children. Although there is no suspicion of child trafficking for the time being, it is abnormal to raise so many children. If my guess is correct, she is most likely a human trafficker!"
"Go down."
Wen Jingchi showed no emotion on his face, and sneered in a dignified manner.
As soon as he left, Chu Weiyue came in and put the invitation in front of Wen Jingchi with a smile.
After picking it up and taking a look, Wen Jingchi had a strange look on his face, but the Marquis held a high position in the court, and the invitation had been delivered. If he did not accept it, there would definitely be another entanglement.
"Okay, I will definitely show up then." He put the invitation aside and briefly told her the report his subordinates had just given her.
Chu Weiyue clenched her fist and slammed the table hard: "These people are so abominable. They actually attacked innocent children. Every child is the apple of their parents' eyes. How could they do this?"
"Your Majesty, let's just take it all down in one fell swoop. Let's just get it over with."
Wen Jingchi did not answer. He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "This is a good idea, but those traffickers are very cunning, and the place is in a busy city with many roads leading to all directions. I guess they will run away before the soldiers arrive, so it is impossible to catch them directly."
After telling them their approximate address, Chu Weiyue scratched his hair.
Although she was not familiar with the capital, she happened to go there often. There were many small alleys and one could easily get lost if one was not careful.
If we go directly to arrest them, the momentum will be too great, and they will surely run away before we even get there!
"Then why don't we block the city gates so that they can't escape, and then capture them slowly, catching them in a jar!" Chu Weiyue made a grasping gesture.
Wen Jingchi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at her with a bit of disbelief.
I really doubt whether this person is still the straw bag standing in front of me.
"Prince, why are you looking at me all the time? Are you infatuated with me? Huh?" Chu Weiyue smiled complacently and raised her hand to lift his chin.
Wen Jingchi pushed her away in disgust, but there was no longer the anger of being tainted in the past in his eyes.
After teasing him for a while, Chu Weiyue continued to talk about the main topic.
"The villagers all think that woman is the child's mother. Even if we catch her, she might argue. Why don't we publish the portrait of the missing child first? When the family comes to look for her, we'll have evidence!"
"Okay, I will send the painter now."
A quarter of an hour later, the painter arrived.
Since Chu Weiyue had only seen two children, he could only draw portraits of them first.
Afterwards, officers and soldiers pasted the portraits all over the streets and alleys of the capital.
The news soon spread to every corner of the capital and was also known by the prince.
Looking at the contents of the notice, he was delighted and immediately went to find Chu Weiyue.
Chu Weiyue was about to go out, but who would have thought that he would run into Wen Chenxuan, who glared at him with an unpleasant expression: "How come Your Highness the Crown Prince has time to come to my house?"
"This prince wants to talk to you about something small. Please sit down and talk."
He sat down in the main seat in the main hall as if he was at home, and motioned Chu Weiyue to sit next to him.
He rolled his eyes in frustration and could only sit to one side: "Your Highness, please say whatever you want to say quickly. I have something else to do."
Wen Chenxuan was dissatisfied with this attitude, but he endured it because he thought of the big things.
"I heard that you have been targeting a group of human traffickers recently, so I wanted to ask you where they are."
Chu Weiyue's eyes revealed a bit of weirdness. She knew that the prince had bad intentions. Wen Jingchi had clearly sent people to wait, but he wanted to grab the credit in advance.
Before he could answer, Chu Ranxin came in dressed up, personally brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and walked up to the prince with a smile.
"Your Highness, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Her voice was so delicate, and she wished she could sit on the prince's body.
Wen Chenxuan did not refuse too obviously, but patted her shoulder gently: "This prince is here."
"I've looked for you so many times, and every time you were busy..."
Wen Chenxuan had no intention of having any romance with her. Instead, he put her bird's nest porridge aside and continued to question Chu Weiyue.
During their conversation, Chu Ranxin realized that it was all about the human traffickers.
Thinking of Chu Weiyue's prestige in recent times, the jealousy and anger in his heart surged to the peak.
"Your Highness, those human traffickers are too abominable. Why don't we catch them now and wipe them out completely, so that you can make a contribution!"
Her words hit the mark exactly what Wen Chenxuan was thinking, and he immediately set his gaze on Chu Weiyue.
"Chu Weiyue, where are those human traffickers? If you dare not tell me, you are obstructing my work. I have the right to arrest you!"
Chu Ranxin almost laughed out loud. In this way, she would have done a great service to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and even if Chu Weiyue told him, the Crown Prince would not be grateful to her.
In the end, the only one His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be fond of is her.
Glancing at them with disdain, Chu Weiyue wrote down an address.
"This is the place I heard about last time. As for whether they are still here now, I have no idea!"
Without saying a word, Wen Chenxuan led many of his men to this place to capture the human traffickers, and Chu Ranxin followed them to win credit.
Chu Weiyue knew very well that the human traffickers would not wait for them to catch them and would have already run away.
They would definitely find someone to keep watch in advance. Besides, it was deep in the city and the alleys alone were enough to confuse the prince, so how could they possibly catch the human traffickers?
