Chapter 1785: Chapter 1785: Definitely Going

"You see, our boss is one of the most prominent figures in Yongxia City. When has he ever spoken so humbly to another person? I suspect that this person might be from the City Lord’s Mansion, or perhaps from another City Lord’s Mansion."

"Brother Molian, what should we do now?" Lin Caisang asked Zimo after hearing the old woman’s words.

Should they simply capture the owner of the Wanling Agency and force him to reveal the whereabouts of her father?

That indeed was an option, but...

"Let’s visit the Wanling Agency tomorrow first," Zimo thought for a moment and said.

If it was as the old woman had said, the person who had bought Lin Baizhong was definitely someone the owner of the Wanling Agency wouldn’t want to offend.

If they directly captured the owner of the Wanling Agency for questioning, they likely wouldn’t find out anything.

People who ran these agencies were very shrewd, they wouldn’t offend those whom they could not afford to offend.

"Alright."

Lin Caisang had no objections and responded.

"Young master, miss, if you want to know where that person was sold, you can go to the Wanling Agency and look for Brother Yan. He records everything in the Wanling Agency, and every slave that comes in is registered there," the old woman added in an attempt to please Lin Caisang and Zimo.

"They have records?"

Lin Caisang looked at her.

If there were records, that would be more than ideal.

"Zhe Jue, you handle this."

Zimo immediately instructed Zhe Jue.

"Yes, sir."

Zhe Jue complied and set out immediately.

Uncle San thought for a moment and followed Zhe Jue out as well.

...

"Sir, Miss Lin, I have looked into the person named Brother Yan,"

Some time later, Zhe Jue and Uncle San returned, but both had uneasy expressions on their faces.

"How did it go?"

Lin Caisang, eager to know the situation, asked.

"Brother Yan does keep records of the slaves traded by the Wanling Agency, but regarding the name Su Zhengzhong, there is only an entry record and no exit record. It just says four words: ’kept by the boss.’"

"Kept by the boss!"

Upon hearing these four words, Lin Caisang gritted her teeth.

It seemed that a visit to the Wanling Agency was essential, otherwise, they really wouldn’t know how to find her father.

"What about the boss?" she asked.

"It is said that the owner of the Wanling Agency doesn’t go to the agency every day, but tomorrow is the auction, and he will definitely be there," Zhe Jue replied.

"Tomorrow..."

Lin Caisang murmured softly, then glanced at Zimo.

"Zhe Jue, arrange for a few people personally. Tomorrow I want to meet the owner of the Wanling Agency, directly at the Wanling Agency!" Zimo instructed Zhe Jue.

"Yes, sir."

Zhe Jue complied.

Meeting at the Wanling Agency meant they would be confronting the owner directly, forcing a confession, right?

No, that’s not it. The prince had told him to arrange for more people, so it must mean meeting the owner of the Wanling Agency secretly there?

He understood.

...

The next day, at the Wanling Agency.

This day in Yongxia City was particularly bustling, especially at the entrance of the Wanling Agency.

The large-scale slave auction was about to start, and many who were particularly interested had come to watch.

Of course, nearly everyone who entered the Wanling Agency was a woman, and some wore veils that obscured their faces.

Zimo and Lin Caisang directly entered the Wanling Agency and paid to secure a private room to sit in.
