Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 450: They’re All Children!

"The child is missing?"

Long Yue was stunned. The child appeared very well-behaved during his time at the General Mansion. Even if he wanted to go somewhere, he would inform them. How did he suddenly disappear without a trace?

"Didn’t he tell you?"

"Yes!" Ning Xiang replied, "I took the child to the lakeside, and out of nowhere, he suddenly acted like he was possessed, charging straight into the crowd. I... I couldn’t stop him in time..."

Speaking of this, Ning Xiang felt very guilty for not being able to keep an eye on the child, feeling somewhat unworthy of the master’s trust.

"What did he see?" Long Yue was very curious. What could have made the child so agitated?

"I... I don’t know. Oh, right, I remembered, he seemed to be chasing someone!"

Chasing someone? That’s strange. Who would he be chasing?

"Let’s go and look around. We can’t lose him."

Immediately, the three of them split up to search, but after an incense-stick’s worth of time, they still had no results.

"This little guy, where could he have gone? When he gets back, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson!"

"Ah!"

Long Yue stood by the lakeside, saying angrily, when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind. Long Yue was instantly overjoyed and turned around, saying, "You little brat, where did you run off to?"

"Ah!"

The child opened his mouth and pointed ahead.

Over there was the crowd, and nothing could be discerned from it. Long Yue was a bit baffled.

At this time, the child stepped forward, cautiously reaching out in an attempt to grab Long Yue’s hand. Just as he was about to make contact, a large hand suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"If there’s anything, just tell me!"

Li Qingmu suddenly appeared, his gaze still somewhat cold as he looked at him.

The child was a bit afraid of him. Seeing him approach, he quickly retreated to the side. Long Yue chuckled, "A Mu, take it easy, don’t scare him!"

Li Qingmu said nothing. This little guy was up to something. He had to keep a close watch on him.

The child looked up, pitifully gazing at Long Yue, as if seeking her help.

Long Yue patted the man’s hand, which was wrapped around her waist, and said displeased, "Don’t scare the child, you’re about to be a father yourself, how can you still act like a child?"

Li Qingmu wanted to argue, but the child suddenly started shouting and pointed ahead to a square.

"He wants to take us somewhere."

Li Qingmu noticed the child’s intention. Though he didn’t like this little guy, seeing his serious expression suggested there was indeed something problematic.

"You lead the way!"

The child gave a grateful look, this trust made him feel very precious.

Long Yue and Li Qingmu followed the child as he led the way, only walking along the edge of the lake. Both of them tacitly kept quiet to avoid disturbing him. Eventually, they reached a lakeside spot, where there were already very few people, the location very secluded.

Near a small cove by the lake, a large boat was docked. The boat looked like a cargo ship, but it couldn’t set sail due to a damaged sail.

"Ah!"

He pointed at the boat and gestured beneath it. He hugged his shoulders, trembling all over, looking very frightened.

Long Yue and Li Qingmu didn’t quite understand what this action meant? Until he started jumping around and pretended to dress up over there did Long Yue finally understand.

"Are you saying this is the place where they dressed you in monkey fur?"

"Ah, ah ah!"

The child nodded vigorously, very excited.

So that’s it!

"This place..." Li Qingmu circled around the boat on the shore, slightly frowning, "This ship is abandoned, but... it seems like I hear someone crying?"

Furthermore, it sounded like a child’s voice!

Long Yue stepped forward to listen carefully, and sure enough, there was a faint sobbing, very slight, and if not listened to attentively, impossible to hear.

Instantly, the couple exchanged a glance and saw shock in each other’s eyes!

On this boat, could there be children in captivity?

"Let’s go, board the ship and have a look!"

"Hey, be careful, don’t let anyone see!"

"Okay!"

The two of them searched around and found only two people guarding the boat, sighing with a slight relief. Only two people, that’s manageable.

Silently, they boarded the ship, with the child following them. He nimbly snuck behind the two guards.

By this point, it was already noon, the time when people were the most drowsy. The guards leaned against each other, nodding off, when suddenly, they felt a sharp pain at the back of their heads before passing out.

"Who’s there? Uh..."

The other realized something was wrong and tried to yell, but the child was even faster, knocking him out too with a thud.

"Bam!"

Both of them fell to the ground.

Long Yue and Li Qingmu stared at the child in astonishment, hard to believe that this little thing could be so swift and without any hesitance.

A bit heartless!

But Li Qingmu liked it.

"Waa, waa waa, mommy, waaa—"

"Mommy, I want mommy, waa waa..."

Long Yue and Li Qingmu approached the place where the cries were coming from and gently knocked on the door, hearing even clearer cries and calls for help from inside. Judging by the voices, it seemed like there were dozens of children.

Li Qingmu’s face turned cold, no wonder the child was so agitated earlier. Had he seen the traffickers who abducted him?

"Were they the ones who trafficked you?"

Li Qingmu asked, and the child nodded vigorously.

With a "click!", while Li Qingmu was contemplating, Long Yue had already found a key on the guards, inserted it into the lock, and opened the door. It was dark inside, invisible to the point of reaching out one’s hand. But as the door opened, cries grew louder.

Sunlight penetrated through the door and windows, gradually revealing the scene inside.

In the ship’s hold, dozens of children were packed together, big ones as old as over ten, and small ones only three or four years old, all their limbs bound with ropes, unable to move.

Then, Li Qingmu saw Li Xiangxiang and Li Qingxue huddled in the corner.

The two little girls clung to each other, tears on their faces, constantly sniffling, tears occasionally streaming down their cheeks, a sight terribly pitiful.

When Li Qingmu opened the door to the ship’s hold, all the children inside looked at him, their eyes filled with fear and panic. A young little girl just took one look before bursting into tears.

"Don’t cry, we’re here to save you. If you cry too loudly and get discovered by the bad guys, no one will be able to leave!"

Long Yue spoke seriously, and a few older children immediately instructed their younger siblings to stop crying.

"You, go untie them, be quick!"

Since this kid was nimble, he should put that to good use.

The child nodded lightly, got off the ship’s hold, and quickly began untying the ropes while the couple stood guard above.

"Hurry, hurry, these two little ones are particularly precious. Once we take them, this deal is done. Haha, then think about where to have some fun? Hahaha..."

Just then, in the distance, at the shore, came a rough voice. A brawny man with a beard carried a burlap sack over his shoulder, striding over.

And beside him was a tall and thin man with a hooked nose, his face filled with malice!
