The hall master had already reported the matter in detail to the gang leader, who nearly fainted from anger upon hearing it. His eyes widened in fury, veins bulging on his forehead, and he glared fiercely at the vice-gang leader, gritting his teeth as he said, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly come up with a way to find them! Remember, absolutely no big commotion, otherwise if they sense something's up and hide, things will get complicated!"

Meanwhile, Jin Shuai cautiously approached a secluded corner within the light's reach, holding his breath as he carefully observed the place before him. The area was bustling with people, but most were ragged and unkempt, looking like destitute beggars. Some sat in small groups, chatting animatedly; others lay lazily on the ground, fast asleep, oblivious to their surroundings; and a group of playful children ran and laughed among the crowd. Many others squatted or sat on the ground, displaying various items in front of them, resembling a small market. A rough estimate suggested there were two to three hundred people gathered there, the lively scene resembling a miniature market.

Jin Shuai dared not let his guard down, remaining fully focused on observing every move. He noticed that people would occasionally stroll in from other passageways. These people didn't seem to exchange many pleasantries or pleasantries; they simply stopped silently at each stall to observe for a moment before moving on to the next. Jin Shuai observed quietly for quite a while, finally confirming his suspicions—this was indeed a small market. Once he was certain, Jin Shuai relaxed slightly, straightened his back, and swaggered towards the market.

When Jin Shuai arrived at the market, he pretended to be nonchalant, glancing at the trinkets on one stall and touching the items on another. He seemed casual, but in reality, he remained highly vigilant. He would occasionally scan the crowd and surroundings out of the corner of his eye to make sure no one was paying him any special attention.

After a while, Jin Shuai realized that no one was paying attention to him, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed a little. However, he still dared not let his guard down, after all, he was in an unfamiliar place and had to be careful in everything he did.

At this moment, Jin Shuai was thinking about asking someone what this place was, but he was also worried that if he asked the wrong person, it would bring him unnecessary trouble. So, he could only continue wandering aimlessly through the market, hoping to find a suitable opportunity or a suitable person.

Just then, he suddenly felt someone gently tug at his clothes from behind. Jin Shuai's heart tightened, and his muscles tensed instantly, putting him on alert. He slowly turned around and saw a child who looked about seven or eight years old, with a dirty face, staring straight at him.

Jin Shuai stared at the child with suspicion, wondering what he wanted. Seeing Jin Shuai's bewildered expression, the child reached out and grabbed his arm, pointing to a quiet corner not far away. Jin Shuai hesitated, but decided to follow and see what was happening.
