"I told you to protect people, and this is how you protect them? They've disappeared, and you only come to tell me now? Where were you before?"

"Big brother, big brother, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I didn't mean to, it's just..."

"That's right, that's right! You didn't listen to me at all! You lost my little sister! I'm telling you, if anything happens to her, I'll kill you!"

Lin Long had just finished beating his younger brother when he called his brothers over and instructed them to secretly go and find someone.

Lin Bao rubbed his stomach and got up, sitting in the corner looking aggrieved. He knew he was wrong, and he admitted his mistake, so why couldn't they forgive him?!

He was very worried about his sister's disappearance, but he really didn't do it on purpose. If his sister hadn't wanted to stay away from him, why would he...?

For the first time in his life, Lin Bao felt wronged. He rubbed his stomach and shrank back when he saw his older brother come in.

Lin Long didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he didn't see him hiding. When he came out of the house, Lin Long had already changed his clothes.

On the other side, after Lin Cai was taken back by that group of women, she was locked in a room.

After those women locked her in the house, they never appeared again. It was getting dark outside, and Lin Cai rubbed her stomach.

Seeing that they wouldn't bring her dinner, Lin Cai took an apple from the refrigerator.

The room is large and fully furnished; you could sleep here without any problems.

The problem lies in the fact that there's nothing particularly wrong with her. If she really is as that woman described, would a woman normally treat her man's lover so well after bringing him home?

Although there was no food, the house had everything it needed, making it seem like a place where someone regularly lived.

Lin Cai sat on the stool, idly munching on an apple, slowly thinking about the events of the day.

Lin Cai had just finished her apple and was about to have another one when she heard voices.

"Have you caught him? Are you sure it's that person? Please don't arrest the wrong person!"

"Who do you think I am? Don't you think I have any sense? Don't worry, I definitely won't grab the wrong person."

"Let me tell you, this is no joke. If we arrest the wrong person, neither of us will escape."

Lin Cai recognized the woman's voice before; it belonged to the fat woman. The other voice belonged to a man and sounded rough, like a duck's quack.

As soon as the man finished speaking, the woman said, "Oh, don't worry, I guarantee I didn't catch it. Even if I did catch the wrong one, it's not a loss."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman started giggling. Her voice was like a hen laying an egg, which gave Lin Cai goosebumps.

Hearing their footsteps getting closer, Lin Cai simply pretended to be hungry and listlessly slumped onto the table.

Sure enough, not long after, someone opened the door. Lin Cai's eyes darted around, but she didn't sit up.

The woman and man at the door also saw Lin Cai's current state. The woman smiled and said, "Look, look, I told you there's no problem. What are you still worried about?"

"Boss Hua, we need to be more cautious in what we do now. This way, we can't go wrong."

The fat woman's name was Boss Hua. She was the madam of a brothel. The women who were with Boss Hua during the day were all "daughters" raised by Boss Hua.

The man that Boss Hua brought was the owner of Xifenglou, but everyone called him Gui Gong.

Gui Gong glanced at Lin Cai: "Boss Hua, you have a better eye for women than I do. I'll leave this to you. Remember to compare carefully and don't make a mistake."

Upon hearing this, Boss Hua flicked his handkerchief and slapped Gui Gong across the face: "I know, I know, I won't let you get into trouble."

Mr. Hua happily saw the person off, then turned to look at Lin Cai, who was slumped over the table.

"We told you it was you, it was you! You still wouldn't listen to us. Now look what happened! You're starving and have no strength left!"

"You little sluts, you don't know what's good for you. Follow me, and I can provide you with a life of luxury that's better than what you have at home."

"If you live at home and get sold by your own family, you won't have anything to eat, and you'll have to do everything. If you don't do it well, you'll get beaten. That's not worth it at all!"

As Boss Hua spoke, she moved closer to Lin Cai. Since Lin Cai hadn't had anyone bring her any food today, she assumed that Lin Cai was truly starving.

I had just walked over and sat down when a knife was thrust at my neck.

Looking at the smiling girl in front of him, Boss Hua's heart trembled.

She could feel the coldness on her neck, and she could also feel the coldness in the girl's smile.

"Tell me, who sent you to arrest me? And what do you want from me?"

With a knife to her neck, Boss Hua had no choice but to speak. She told Lin Cai everything she knew, and after she finished, she was afraid that Lin Cai wouldn't believe her, so she earnestly assured her that everything she said was true.

"You mean, recently some people in Longxing County have been looking for the person in the portrait that looks a lot like me?"

"Yes, we've been looking for them. We've sent several over, but none of them are the right one, so we've sent them all back!"

"You said it yourself, none of them are, so why do you think I am?"

Speaking of this, Boss Hua was already embarrassed. She looked at Lin Cai and said, "Miss, you probably don't know what I do."

"I've seen at least five hundred, if not a thousand, girls with these eyes. I can remember their faces clearly after just one glance."

"As for you, young lady, you are the easiest to recognize, and the portrait looks exactly like you, as if it were made from the same mold."

Lin Cai didn't believe what the shopkeeper said and wanted her to get a copy for her to see, but in the end she decided against it, since it wasn't her to see it anyway, so what was the point?

She asked the florist how to leave from here, and the florist hesitated for a moment: "Miss, can't you come with me to see that old man?"

"That old man has a lot of money. When he spends it in our building, he throws it away in huge wads. Don't you want to, young lady...?"

"What are you thinking? No matter how much money he has, it's not mine. I don't even know him, so what does it have to do with me? If you want his money, have your girl work hard for it. Don't try to get your hands on me."

"Tell me how to get out of here right now, or the knife in your neck won't stay there any longer."
