The child felt sleepy the moment he smelled it, and then asked, "What... are you doing..."
Somehow, the child felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He wondered if he was going to die!
He had heard that there was a kind of poison that could make people unconscious, and then the poisoned person would feel the pain of being bitten by thousands of snakes.
He still has dreams, he doesn't want to die like this...
"Stop! I'll take you there! But... I can't introduce them directly... otherwise I'll be beaten to death. How you get to know them afterwards... I don't care." the child shouted.
The plan was successful, Lin Tongxi snapped his fingers, and then gave another plan.
The child pretended to faint, and Lin Tongxi and others came to his aid in time. When the child woke up, they took him to the place he had said.
The child nodded. Although he would inevitably be beaten, at least he could save his life.
"Um...can you leave some money for me? Otherwise it will arouse their suspicion?" The child continued with a pleading look.
Su Ruoxue, who was in charge of pretending to be nice, took out some of her own money and handed it to the child.
"Thank you, four great kind people!" The child wanted to kneel down and kowtow immediately.
"As for the antidote, we will give it to you later. Just go to Fulai Inn to find us tomorrow." Lin Tongxi touched the child's head and made a comforting gesture.
Of course, the child was not poisoned at all, and naturally there was no antidote. Everything was a lie by Lin Tongxi and others.
Afterwards, Yue Lingyun followed the location the child said and found a mansion that looked slightly larger.
There were four doormen at the door of the mansion. When they saw the child being hugged, they subconsciously became alert.
One of them came over and asked about Lin Tongxi and the others' identities: "Who are you? Why are you holding this child?"
"Um...Brother Jia, I fainted on the street, and these four kind people brought me here."
The doorman named Jia frowned, and then asked other doormen to call out another person.
"Oh! Xiaodao, why did you faint?" A middle-aged man who looked like a servant came out and took the child from Yue Lingyun's arms.
"Xiaodao, are you feeling okay?" the uncle asked first, and the child nodded in response.
"That's good." The uncle was relieved, and then turned to look at Lin Tongxi and the others: "Everyone, I am really ashamed. I am a servant in the mansion and have nothing to offer in return. Please accept these!"
The uncle gave him a few dozen copper coins... which was better than nothing. Lin Tongxi refused directly: "It is our duty to be chivalrous and righteous. You don't have to be polite."
"Okay, we have important things to attend to, so we won't bother you anymore." After Lin Tongxi finished speaking, he took the three of them away.
[Mission completed, the habitat of the child thieves has been discovered... System Power +2]
[System Power: 95/100]
The middle-aged man also put away his humble expression and stared at the child with extremely cold eyes.
The child knew that he could not escape the beating, but fortunately he had asked Lin Tongxi and others for some money.
…
"Brother Tongxi, since we have investigated this far, why don't you report it directly to the authorities?" Yue Lingyun asked.
"Uh... Is there a possibility that we actually represent the government?" Lin Tongxi responded to Yue Lingyun's question, and then told him about Gan Xingfan hiring them.
After hearing this, Yue Lingyun expressed surprise: "What... I didn't expect the two of you to have entered the government office. I thought you were joking."
"Ahem, it's best to avoid impersonating people in the imperial court. But that's not the point. The point is the next step. This mansion is definitely not as simple as it looks... We need to observe the surrounding area for a while longer."
Lin Tongxi and others waited nearby for a while, and then indeed new developments occurred.
A vicious man came to the mansion with a group of thugs. After staying inside for half an incense stick of time, he tied up a child and took him out.
The four realized that something was wrong and secretly followed the group.
The thugs were divided into two groups. The larger group followed the ferocious men away, while the smaller group found a remote place and abandoned the children.
Out of concern for the children and for safety reasons, the four chose to follow the group with fewer people.
After dropping it off, the thugs left straight away. On the way, one of the thugs couldn't help but complain.
"Sigh... This damn world is fucked up. We're all human, but why can the superiors do whatever they want?"
"Come on, it's good enough that I have a meal to eat. If Butler Lu hears you say this, you'll be in big trouble!"
After the thugs left, the four men went forward to check on the child.
It was not the child they had just caught, but another child, and he had many scars on his body from being beaten, which made people feel distressed.
