"Heh, their actions are bizarre. It's a ridiculously obvious cover-up," Hua Yusen sneered. "Over twenty toddlers, and all sold to the same person. What this person wants to do is self-evident—it has to be something nefarious. Otherwise, the Li family wouldn't have risked drawing suspicion by murdering people to silence them."
"Yes, that's why I'm absolutely certain there's something strange going on," Chen Lei said with a sigh. "That trafficker got what he deserved, but I'm worried about those twenty-some children. Are they even still alive?"
Hua Yusen was silent. He didn't know either.
"Honestly, I should go tell Elder Gu right now, but I can't. I have to protect you," Hua Yusen said softly. "If I went to see Elder Gu immediately after your sudden visit, everyone would realize you must have given me a crucial lead. Knowing the Li family's ruthless methods, they wouldn't spare you."
