Suddenly, a child caught Chu Weiyue's attention.
Her expression changed slightly. Wasn't this the child she had seen for the first time? It turned out that he was indeed here.
The child obviously recognized Chu Weiyue. His palms were sweating and he took a step back nervously.
This scene immediately aroused the steward's vigilance and his expression changed slightly.
Chu Weiyue also noticed this and sighed a little depressed.
"Your kids all look good, but will buying them get you into trouble?"
The steward patted his chest vigorously.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Our children are from legitimate sources. They were not kidnapped. They were sold here voluntarily. There is absolutely no chance of this kind of problem. Our after-sales service is absolutely guaranteed..."
He was very eloquent and gave Chu Weiyue many passionate assurances.
I looked to the side and saw a lot of thugs around.
Looking at the children again, Chu Weiyue hesitated: "After all, this is the first time I do this kind of thing, I still need to think about it, how about this, I will pay you a deposit first."
"Why don't you just buy a child? So many children..."
The manager tried to persuade him, but Chu Weiyue had made up his mind. He took out ten taels of silver and put them on the table as a deposit.
After they left, the steward's expression changed instantly.
He always felt that these two people were strange. Moreover, they were dressed simply but were so generous in spending. There was obviously something wrong.
"Follow them both immediately and inform me immediately if there is any news." He instructed one of his men beside him.
The subordinates received the order and followed them quietly.
Arriving at the grove, Chu Weiyue turned her head slightly, but was hugged by Wen Jingchi on the shoulders.
"Don't look back, someone is following us." Obviously he had already realized this and tightened his fingers.
Instead of going back directly, the two men turned around and went to a gambling house. The person who was following them was waiting at the door.
As soon as I entered, I found a couple killing everyone.
Looking closely, they were the child's gambling husband and mother.
There was a pile of silver in front of them, and it was obvious that they were lucky today.
Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi stood by and watched, but who would have thought that in the last round, they would lose all the money they had won.
"How could this happen? Impossible! You are cheating." The man slammed the table angrily and tried to snatch the silver.
The person on the other side immediately grabbed his clothes and said, "Do you still understand the rules? Why didn't you say something like this when you won money? Don't you even look at where you are? Who are you blaming for your bad luck?"
The woman started cursing as well, but it was of no use as the others continued to have fun.
After searching their pockets for a long time, neither of them came up with a penny, so they could only leave in anger.
After staying here for a while, the two men followed directly out and found that the thugs were still following them.
Since the gambler couple lived in a small alley, Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi pretended to live there as well.
After making some twists and turns here, they soon shook off the thugs and successfully followed the couple home.
As soon as they arrived in the yard and were about to close the door, they found that Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue suddenly appeared.
"Big brother, we meet again!" Chu Weiyue looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of indifference.
After a moment of hesitation, the man smiled awkwardly.
Wen Jingchi didn't bother to be polite with them and just pushed the door open and left.
The couple realized that they had come with bad intentions, and the woman glared at them with an unpleasant expression.
"Who are you two? Why did you come to my house, and why did you come uninvited?"
Wen Jingchi glanced at him indifferently: "We are tracking down human traffickers recently and need your cooperation. Now tell me, where did your child go?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and looked up with some disdain: "What do you mean by that? What do you mean our child went somewhere? This has nothing to do with you."
Wen Jingchi was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he took out a dagger from his arms and wiped it gently.
The man instantly got scared, and then he ran over and held Wen Jingchi's hand: "If you have anything to say, let's talk it over nicely."
"Can you tell me now? Where did your child go?"
Chu Weiyue took the initiative to walk over and questioned them harshly.
The man's eyes were evasive, and then he let out a long sigh.
"The child was eventually found, but his personality changed drastically and he became particularly playful, so he was captured by human traffickers again. You two are very powerful, so please help us find him."
Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi looked at each other, but neither of them exposed him.
"Then let me ask you, what is the name of the trafficker? Do you know his characteristics?"
The man was about to speak, but was stopped by the woman.
"How would we know what the traffickers look like? They took the children away quietly, and we don't know either."
It was obvious that this was a lie. Chu Weiyue became furious and snatched the knife away, pointing it at the woman's neck.
"Just tell me what I ask you. If you dare to hide anything, I will kill you with a knife!"
"Miss, I really didn't lie, he was really kidnapped by human traffickers!" The woman was so scared that her whole body was shaking and tears were falling down her face.
Not only did Chu Weiyue not intend to let her go, but he simply scratched her neck lightly.
The woman was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, her body becoming stiff.
"Don't think I'm kidding you. I don't dare to kill you. Even if I kill you and dump your body in the wilderness, no one will know it was me. I'm asking you now, do you know what a human trafficker looks like and what he's called?"
"I dare to ask you this, I must have some information. If I knew you were lying to me..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but instead replaced them with a fierce look.
The man was scared to death and immediately ran over to stop them.
"Miss, let's talk it over nicely. I'll tell you everything, isn't it? Please let my wife go."
He glared at him coldly, and only after seeing that he was willing to cooperate did he retract the knife.
The woman was so frightened that she trembled all over. She immediately hugged her man's waist and hid behind him.
After thinking about it carefully, the man let out a long sigh.
"That man is fair and clean-looking, and looks a bit like a scholar. He is about thirty years old. Oh, and he has a red mole between his eyebrows..."
He described everything he knew in detail.
Chu Weiyue thought about it carefully. What he described was exactly the same as the manager he met today. Although his clothes and appearance were different, they looked almost the same.
"Even so, I want you to report this to the authorities now."
Hearing this, the man stared in shock.
"Miss, what did you say? You want us to go to the government and expose this?"
He pointed at his wife, then lowered his finger to his nose in extreme disbelief.
