Gu Changbai's forehead was already sweating. Suddenly, inspiration struck him, and he thought of the Magistrate of Yingnan Mansion.
"It was that Lord Prefect who informed us. He caught the child trafficker and told me about it."
He thought this excuse he came up with might deceive others.
"That child trafficker never keeps records of the children he sells to brokers, and he has kidnapped quite a few. How could he possibly remember which broker your granddaughter was sold to? Besides, I've already verified, the other families who had their children sold have yet to find them. It's just too much of a coincidence that you found yours."
As soon as Gu Changbai heard this, he felt things were not looking good. It seemed Gu Chengyu's investigation was very thorough, with truly meticulous thinking.
The sweat beads on his forehead gathered more and more, and he suddenly didn't know how to respond.
