Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Little Taotie Has Many Questions
“Yes, yes, yes, we are all old-fashioned, nowhere near as good as you. Despite your age, you’re so childish!”
“How dare you call me childish!”
The two began to quarrel, with Tao Mo’s temper flaring up, already ready to roll up his sleeves and fight, while Qin Xin and his personal assistant hastily stepped forward to calm them down.
While they were causing a commotion, they didn’t notice that Tao Ti was staring into the depths of the forest at a place where resentment surged, slowly stepping closer towards it.
“There can be no problems with this batch of goods! A few years ago, a cop infiltrated us and destroyed our hideout. This time is a great opportunity for a comeback!”
“Yes, we will be very careful and cautious!”
Suddenly, the sound of branches breaking alerted them, and they looked over menacingly, “Who’s there!”
Tao Ti, a small figure, stood beside a tall tree, blinking her innocent, bewildered eyes as she faced five fierce-looking men.
From Little Taotie’s perspective, the fattest and darkest leader was shrouded in a transparent cover glowing with a layer of golden light. Many vengeful spirits rushed at it from the outside, but each time they were repelled by the cover.
Besides these vengeful spirits, she also noticed a black-gray aura, something she was all too familiar with—misfortune!
And it was the misfortune that she had shot out!
Because of the barrier of the transparent cover, the misfortune had not befallen this man, and having been there for a while, the misfortune was gradually dissipating, getting smaller and smaller.
Her little head was full of questions:
How could this be? This misfortune was formed from the young lady’s resentment, automatically targeting those who had caused the young lady’s death, and this man was one of them!
But according to Uncle Master Luo Hanchen’s words, those people had already received their retributions; actually, the falling of misfortune wasn’t much use anymore.

So, what was the deal with this man standing here now, who hadn’t been imprisoned or punished by the law?
Why was the misfortune blocked? And what exactly was this transparent cover?
The five fearsome, brutish men didn’t know that Tao Ti was full of questions, so they thought the child was stunned by fear of them and just stood there dazed.
“Scared silly? Doesn’t even know to run, really cute and dumb!” the leader, Black Fatty, licked his lips, smiling wickedly, “I remember many years ago, there was another silly kid who thought her dad was in our hands. In the end, it turned out that she became the bargaining chip we used to threaten her dad! Unfortunately, her dad gave up on her, didn’t come to rescue her!”
“Was she that undercover cop’s child?” a man by the side asked.
Black Fatty nodded, clicking his tongue, “Couldn’t withstand torture, died in two days. Her fingers are now part of my collection, still in formalin!”
“After we finish this deal, I really need to visit brother’s place to admire them!” another person said obsequiously.
“Of course! Once we make this deal, we’ll have made a fortune. Then, we can flee overseas, buy an island, and become island masters!”
“Any boat that passes our island will have to pay a toll fee!”
“Absolutely, and we should charge them a little extra!”
The five men laughed, their laughter gratingly loud.
“Boss, how should we deal with this child?”
Black Fatty narrowed his eyes, laughing maliciously, “I’m still short of collection pieces. This child’s eyes are really beautiful; they would look even more beautiful preserved in a jar of formalin.”
“Then I’ll go grab her!” Another man walked toward Tao Ti, a Swiss knife now in his hand.
