I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Chapter 300: Fang Xiao's Scheme

Fang Xiaoxiao walked a few steps to the little beggar, squatted down, gently held her dirty little hand, and comforted her with a gentle yet firm gaze.

“Child, don’t be afraid. In the end, good will prevail over evil! We will do everything we can to make those bad people get what they deserve.”

Lin Wan'er also came over and gently stroked the little beggar's hair, speaking softly but with determination.

"Yes, your sisters promise you they won't let them continue their wrongdoings."

The atmosphere inside the dilapidated temple was heavy yet filled with a do-or-die determination.

Fang Xiaoxiao stood up, looked at everyone with a firm gaze, and said.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die; we need to quickly devise a plan to capture the broker."

Li Renyi nodded and said.

"In my opinion, we should first find out where those traffickers are and where they are hiding."

Pei Yan continued.

"That's right, we also need to understand their numbers and daily routines."

Fang Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and then said.

"Then we can send people to secretly monitor them in the places they frequent."

Lin Wan'er said.

"I can go around and ask around to see if anyone knows anything more about them."

The little beggar also mustered up his courage and spoke.

"I know something about them, maybe I can help."

The little beggar pursed his chapped lips, his eyes filled with fear and anger, and spoke slowly.

"Those ruthless brokers have a fixed meeting place, which is an abandoned warehouse three miles outside the town."

The warehouse was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, making it look quite eerie.

They usually gather there every three days in the evening, just after sunset, before it gets completely dark.

Every time they got together, they would start dividing up the dirty money, and then huddle together, looking furtive, to discuss the bad things they were going to do next.

One of them had a long scar on his face, running from the corner of his eye all the way down to his chin; it looked terrifying.

He seemed to be their leader, and he was particularly ruthless. He was always the one giving orders and yelling at the others during every operation.

His eyes were like those of a venomous snake, sending chills down your spine.

Moreover, whenever they went out to abduct children or do other bad things, they would carry some sedatives and sticks with them.

The drug could make anyone dizzy with just a whiff, and the sticks were used to deal with those who resisted; they were ruthless and showed no mercy.

And another thing, there are several hidden lookouts around the warehouse.

It was hidden behind a large willow tree on the east side; it was so well hidden that you couldn't find it at all without looking carefully.

There was another one behind the earthen slope on the west side, lying there like a stone.

There was another one in a hole in the broken wall to the north, with only a pair of eyes visible. These hidden agents were incredibly cunning; most people wouldn't even notice them.

Upon hearing the little beggar's words, Fang Xiaoxiao and the others' expressions instantly turned solemn and frosty, as if shrouded in a layer of gloom.

They exchanged a firm and resolute look, a look filled with determination and courage.

Fang Xiaoxiao frowned, her cherry lips slightly pursed, and after a moment's thought, she spoke calmly.

"Given the situation, we should split up to have a better chance of winning."

Pei Yan, your lightness skill is superb and your movements are agile. You will go and investigate that abandoned warehouse in secret first.

Remember, be extremely careful and cautious; do not alert the enemy.

Pei Yan nodded solemnly, his eyes filled with determination, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Miss Fang, I will do my utmost to fulfill my mission."

Li Renyi crossed his arms and continued speaking with a serious expression.

"Then Fang Xiaoxiao, Lin Wan'er, and I will disguise ourselves as customers looking for servants and openly contact those people at the brokerage."

We tried our best to extract more useful information from them.

A hint of nervousness flashed across Lin Wan'er's face, but she quickly took a deep breath, bit her lip, and encouraged herself.

"Okay, although I'm a little scared, I will not back down for the sake of those poor children and for justice."

Fang Xiaoxiao's gaze was as firm as a rock. She glanced at everyone and said in a strong and clear voice.

"Everyone must act with caution and avoid impulsive or reckless behavior. Your own safety must be the top priority."

"Once Pei Yan returns, we'll develop a more detailed and comprehensive arrest plan based on the information he gathered."

Everyone responded in unison.

"Good!" The voice echoed in the dilapidated temple, as if it were their vow to uphold justice.

Then, without hesitation, they split up and acted according to the plan, their figures gradually disappearing into the night.

Fang Xiaoxiao, Li Renyi, and Lin Wan'er had only been separated for a short time. They were walking on a noisy, bustling street, looking around to observe their surroundings while whispering to each other about how to cleverly extract useful information from the brokerage firm.

Just then, a piercing shout suddenly came from ahead, accompanied by the pitiful cries of children, shattering the original liveliness and harmony of the street.

They hurriedly looked up and saw a burly man with a fierce face, roughly dragging several pitiful children along like chicks, shouting his wares on the street.

The man looked incredibly fierce, with a pair of triangular eyes that gleamed with greed and cunning, and thick lips that parted to reveal a mouthful of rotten teeth stained yellow from smoking.

he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Don't miss out! These are top-quality kids, smart and quick-witted, excellent at their jobs. Whoever buys them will make a profit!"

That ugly face made it seem as if they treated children as commodities to be bought and sold at will.

The children cried until their voices were hoarse, their faces filled with fear and helplessness, their small bodies trembling incessantly.

Upon seeing this, Li Renyi's face instantly darkened, and he lowered his voice to speak to Fang Xiaoxiao and Lin Wan'er beside him.

"This must be the head of that brokerage firm; he's a truly ruthless and insane guy!"

Fang Xiaoxiao's chest heaved with anger, her beautiful eyes practically spitting fire.

But she quickly calmed down, her eyes darting around, and an idea came to her.

She slightly raised her chin, a discerning smile on her face, and walked lightly toward the head of the brokerage firm.

Li Renyi and Lin Wan'er understood each other perfectly and followed closely behind.

Fang Xiaoxiao walked closer, looked the children up and down, then frowned and said with a pout.

"Oh, these poor little things, you think you can applaud them? They're as skinny as sticks, how much are they worth?"

Upon hearing this, the foreman's fleshy face twitched, and he immediately put on a fawning smile, bowing and scraping as he spoke.

"Miss, please don't say that."
