Then, he set his sights on Wen Chenxuan.

"In that case, let's leave this matter to Wen Chenxuan. Wen Chenxuan has made the greatest contribution this time, and I believe he will not let me down."

After a moment of hesitation, Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists and glared at Wen Jingchi with resentment.

Originally, he just wanted to take credit, as catching human traffickers was a piece of cake. If he continued to investigate child trafficking, it would not only be a hard and tiring job, but he would also not gain any benefit.

This damn Wen Jingchi really tricked him.

No wonder he could remain so calm even though I had taken all the credit for him just now.

The more Wen Chenxuan thought about it, the angrier he became. Not willing to give up, he immediately took a step forward.

"Father, since it was Ninth Brother who discovered this, his contribution cannot be ignored. Why not let him investigate with me? By joining forces, we can get the results as soon as possible."

"In that case, I will allow it. Remember, this matter must be resolved within three days, otherwise..."

He didn't say anything else and turned and left.

Watching the emperor's departing back, Wen Chenxuan showed a smug smile on his lips. When the time comes, he only needs to make some moves to make sure Wen Jingchi is punished.

He wants to step on his own head, but it's impossible in this life!

Chu Weiyue did not enter the main hall, but waited for Wen Jingchi to come out at the gate of the palace.

On the way back, Wen Jingchi briefly recounted what had just happened in the hall, which made Chu Weiyue's face change instantly.

"According to what you said, those human traffickers are indeed organized, and those children all recognize the traffickers as their mothers. This is even more strange!"

After thinking for a moment, I decided to go and find the man who was mine.

He claimed to be the child's father and looked so much like the child. If we found him, we would definitely be able to find some clues.

Wen Jingchi approved of this matter and immediately sent someone to look for him.

After searching for three whole days, the child's parents were still not found. It was as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth.

In desperation, they could only interrogate the woman who specialized in child trafficking.

When she saw Chu Weiyue again, fear and hatred were evident in the woman's eyes.

If it weren't for Chu Weiyue, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Coming up to her, Chu Weiyue glared at her with disdain.

"Now, answer whatever I ask you. If you dare to hide anything..."

Chu Weiyue hurriedly ran to the iron pot next to him and put a soldering iron in it.

After being branded red, he ran up to the woman and poked her hard in the face.

The woman let out a shrill scream, her whole body trembling with fear, and then burst into tears.

Chu Weiyue curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction and threw the soldering iron aside.

"Now I'm asking you, where did the child I first met go? Where did you take him? Why wasn't any of the children you caught him?"

Last time she clearly gave him a piece of clothing, but the child disappeared a day later. It was really unbelievable.

After being frightened like that, the woman no longer dared to lie. She was shaking all over and crying.

"I don't know where that child went."

"How dare you lie to me? Do you want to taste the taste of this branding iron?"

Chu Weiyue picked up the branding iron viciously and waved it on her face again.

The woman was so scared that she was scared out of her wits: "Miss, I really didn't lie, please forgive me. The child's parents sold the child voluntarily, I didn't kidnap him, the children in my place were all sent there by their parents, otherwise how could they be so obedient..."

"At that time, he sold the child to me for money, but later they regretted it and came to us to make trouble. In addition, you also posted a notice, so they came to me again, so I had no choice but to return the child to them. As for where the child went afterwards, I really don't know..."

After continuing to threaten the woman for a while, he found that her story had not changed and realized that she was not lying.

Thinking of that poor child, Chu Weiyue's heart was filled with deep worry.

If his parents could sell him once, they could definitely sell him a second time.

How could the fate of such a little child be so worrying?

The next morning, Wen Jingchi stepped up checks at the city gates, and no beggar or child was spared.

Based on the information provided by the woman, Chu Weiyue came to a relatively remote village.

Because Chu Weiyue was well-dressed, she immediately caught the attention of the village chief, who welcomed her into his home warmly.

After drinking a cup of tea and chatting with the village chief for a while, he took out the portrait and handed it to him.

"Uncle Village Chief, I'm here for something important. Do you know the child in the portrait?"

After picking it up and taking a look at it, the village chief sighed, and his reaction clearly showed that he recognized it.

"Do you know where this child is now?"

"This child has been with a pair of gambling addict parents since birth. He wanders around with them every day and is often beaten and scolded. Some time ago, because they owed a lot of money, they sold the child. Later, they seemed to have found the child. After that, they left the village to avoid debt. As for where they went after that, I don’t know…"

What the village chief said was consistent with what the woman said. Obviously, neither of them knew where the child was.

After leaving the village, Chu Weiyue went to find Wen Jingchi and told him the whole story, frowning with worry.

"Gamblers are the scariest. When they have no money, they will sell anything. They failed to sell the child last time, so I think they will definitely sell the child this time. The human traffickers' den has been busted, but they can still sell the child to other places..."

There are black markets everywhere where shady transactions take place, and there are countless of them in the capital.

Thinking of this, Chu Weiyue immediately asked: "Prince, how about we go to the black market tonight to find out."

"Black market?" Wen Jingchi raised his eyebrows with a lingering look.

"Since they want to sell the child and this human trafficker's den has been busted, I think they will definitely trade on the black market!"

"What you said makes sense. Let's go to the black market in person tomorrow night."

Wen Jingchi's tone was indifferent, as if he had already mastered everything, which made Chu Weiyue feel inexplicably depressed.

After drinking a cup of tea, she had no intention of leaving, but Wen Jingchi could no longer sit still.

"It's getting late. You might as well go back early. We'll go to the black market tomorrow night."

Chu Weiyue clicked her tongue a few times, deliberately moved closer to Wen Jingchi, and poked his chin with her finger.

Because the movement was so fast, Wen Jingchi had no time to dodge.

When a few little girls saw this scene, they covered their mouths and giggled, not daring to laugh out loud, their faces turning red from holding it in.

Wen Jingchi suddenly became angry and glared at Chu Weiyue unhappily.

"Have you had enough of the trouble? If you have, get out of here."
