Chapter 1787: Chapter 1787: Send Someone to Watch

Moreover, in response to the buyer’s request, in front of everyone, a red-hot iron was used to brand the character for "slave" on the girl’s face, and her scream echoed throughout the entire Wanling Agency.

But the people below the stage seemed as if they neither heard nor saw anything, remaining completely indifferent.

"Has it always been like this here?"

Lin Caisang watched the scene, muttering to herself involuntarily.

"Every place has its own way of life."

Sui Zimo just looked at her, softly soothing her inner disquiet.

He knew that letting the young girl witness this would definitely make her uncomfortable, but life was just that realistic; even if it wasn’t here, Sang’er would have encountered similar situations eventually.

Even compared to others, the way the Wanling Agency treated slaves was already quite good.

"My father, he..."

"Shh, your uncle is surely fine, we will find him."

Before Lin Caisang could say anything, Sui Zimo interrupted her.

Lin Caisang pursed her lips, silent.

A long while later, the first round of twenty girls had been auctioned off, and then it was time for the second round, when suddenly, a man with a bare upper body appeared, clad only in some fabric covering his lower half, the rest of him nearly exposed.

Lin Caisang hadn’t even scanned the figure when Sui Zimo pressed her head directly into his chest.

"What’s wrong?"

Feeling puzzled, she asked in a muffled voice.

"Nothing."

Sui Zimo uttered these two words indifferently.

However, just as Zhe Jue entered from the door, he coughed lightly upon seeing this.

"My lord, I’ve searched around but haven’t found the matron described by that boss."

"Over there."

Sui Zimo’s gaze swept toward a direction as he spoke to Zhe Jue.

And that direction was where the man on stage had scanned several times during the auction, and it was not a private box but just a common table.

"That... there?"

Following his lord’s gaze, Zhe Jue saw several men sitting at that ordinary table, excitedly watching the bare-chested male slave on stage.

Could there really be a boss of the Wanling Agency there? He felt it was unlikely.

But the lord was never wrong, of which he was absolutely sure.

So, the boss of the Wanling Agency was really cunning, posing as a polite guest and sitting directly at the most ordinary place, then giving orders to the man on stage with just his eyes?

This method was indeed very clever.

While he was thinking about this, he saw the man on stage, hearing the crazed cries from below, actually requested to tear off the only piece of cloth on the slave, to let them evaluate.

However, there were not only men in the auction hall; there were also women.

So the men were somewhat hesitant, and at that moment, Zhe Jue indeed saw the man glance toward that table.

His sharp eyes caught that among the several people sitting at the edge of the table, one person nodded to the man, agreeing to the customers’ requests, and the next moment, the man on stage did as instructed.

"It’s him! My lord, I’ll send someone to keep an eye on him right away."

With a brightened expression, he immediately took people and left.

...

After sitting for most of the day, it was finally time for lunch.

The auction was still ongoing, and people inside the Wanling Agency were served food by the attendants.

The food was distributed according to the grades of the different private rooms.
