Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Song Wenjing and his companions followed the madam to a luxurious suite, which was lavishly furnished.

The madam said with a smile, "Please wait here for a moment; the guests will be here shortly. There is excellent food and wine here; please feel free to eat as much as you like."

"Xiao Tao, you stay here and make sure you take good care of him."

Xiao Tao nodded obediently, and the madam then left.

Song Wenjing and his companions did not touch the food prepared by the madam.

After a while, the madam swaggered in with a man dressed in a dark blue robe with many messy jade pendants hanging from his waist.

Looking at the man's extravagant attire, Lin Xiaoxiao wondered if he was afraid others wouldn't know he was rich.

"Look, they brought the portrait."

The madam followed behind the man, carefully introducing Song Wenjing and the others to him.

While speaking, he carefully examined the untouched food on the table.

There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Where are your little darlings?" The portly man sat down on the stool and asked impatiently.

Upon learning that the man in front of her was that beast, Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to take action immediately.

But then he suddenly received a signal from Xiao Tao beside him.

Xiao Tao looked anxious and kept shaking her head at Lin Xiaoxiao and the others.

Lin Xiaoxiao and the others immediately realized they had been tricked; the person in front of them was probably not the one they were looking for.

After suppressing her anger, she exchanged a glance with Song Wenjing and looked at the man, saying, "We've taken care of everyone. All you need to do is pay up."

We'll bring the person here immediately.

After hearing this, the man nonchalantly took out three silver notes from his pocket.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Here are three hundred taels for you. Now bring the person to me immediately."

The silver note was slammed on the table; the man's attitude was arrogant.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the silver notes on the table, but didn't take them: "No way!"

"What do you mean no? Is it too little?" The man's face showed a hint of displeasure.

But considering that they couldn't take the silver with them in the end anyway, they still took out another silver note from their pockets, even though they were unhappy.

"Is that enough?"

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head with a faint smile.

Seeing that the man was about to get angry, the madam immediately grabbed his shoulder to stop him from lashing out.

Then, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao with a troubled expression, he said, "Why don't you agree to four hundred taels? That's almost twice the previous price."

"We won't ask for much money, but we can't sell him the person. If you don't bring out the real buyer soon..."

"This deal has to end." Lin Xiaoxiao said, looking at her coldly.

The madam was startled, never expecting that her scheme had been seen through by the person in front of her.

But she showed no panic whatsoever; instead, she revealed her true colors.

He said to them fiercely, "Now that you've come all this way, do you think you can leave?"

"I was originally planning to bring all the little girls you had and take them all in at once, but now I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a bit."

The man sat on the stool and said with a regretful look, "You're all so delicate, it's better to tell us now. If you get hurt, you'll be the ones who suffer."

Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised that the two people in front of her actually had designs on them.

He said with a sneer, "If you want to keep us here, we'll have to see if you have the ability."

The madam clapped her hands with a smug smile, and immediately a group of burly men burst into the room.

The madam grinned maliciously: "It's not too late for you to beg for mercy now."

To everyone's surprise, Lin Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and didn't seem to care about them at all.

Seeing the arrogant person in front of her, the madam was instantly enraged.

"Men, seize them all and teach them a good lesson."

Perhaps seeing the profits that Song Wenjing and his group could bring her in the future, the madam's face showed a hint of ferocity.

When Xiao Tao saw that Lin Xiaoxiao and the others were trapped, she immediately stood in front of them.

He said urgently, "Large ships usually have small emergency boats on their sides. If you jump out of the window, you can still leave now."

Even though she was trembling with fear, she still didn't try to get away.

The madam flew into a rage when she saw that her own people had betrayed her.

"You little slut, you get all horny when you see them looking good, and you actually dare to betray your mother?"

Once we catch them, you'll be the first one I deal with.

Xiao Tao was trembling with fear at the sight of the enraged madam and anxiously urged Lin Xiaoxiao and the others, "Hurry up and leave."

Lin Xiaoxiao walked to Xiaotao's side and gently placed her hand on her shoulder.

He comforted her, saying, "You can leave this to them."

Xiao Tao nervously glanced back at Lin Xiaoxiao, seemingly reassured by the calm expression on her face.

Slowly, they followed Lin Xiaoxiao and retreated behind Song Wenjing and the others.

The madam thought Lin Xiaoxiao was bluffing and didn't take it to heart, instead directing her men.

He said fiercely, "Grab them all, use whatever method you have, as long as you don't hurt their faces."

After receiving the madam's order, the men swarmed forward instantly.

Xiao Tao clutched the handkerchief in her hand with worry.

Song Wenjing took a step forward, flicked his sleeve, and an invisible force surged forth.

The thugs who rushed forward seemed to have run into a wall, and they all fell backward.

The madam stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

"Who exactly are you people?" the madam asked, her voice trembling.

Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "We are chivalrous people who draw our swords to help those in need!"

That's what they always said when I watched TV before.

Song Wenjing continued, "You should know who we're looking for. It's not too late to take us to see him now."

The madam weighed the pros and cons in her mind, knowing that she had met her match today. But she was still unwilling to give up, and with a quick thought, she said, "Gentlemen, I was blind to your greatness. Would you be so kind as to stay at my humble shop? I will certainly treat you with the best hospitality."

Looking at the brothel madam's obsequious flattery, Lin Xiaoxiao ruthlessly rejected her kindness.

"You don't need to waste your time here! After all, we're not looking for you, so why should you risk your life for him?"

Seeing this, the madam could only sigh and lead the group into the building.

Along the way, she would steal glances at Song Wenjing and the others from time to time, her heart filled with curiosity and apprehension.

After passing through several winding corridors, they arrived at a secluded house. The madam stopped and whispered, "The person is inside."

Song Wenjing pushed open the door first and entered. The room was dark, and he could vaguely see a burly man lying on the bed.

In front of the man was a plate of food, on which were laid out many greasy dishes.

The man was eating heartily.

Hearing the noise coming from the other side of the door, because there was still food in his mouth.

So he mumbled, "Have they all been caught?"
