Chapter 380: Chapter 380: This Candy is Delicious Chapter 380: Chapter 380: This Candy is Delicious “Try this, the candy is really tasty.”
“Don’t be shy, it’s really good. My daughter loves it,” he said, unwrapping a candy and eating it, seemingly to demonstrate that his candy was poison-free.
Little Taotie looked at the black mushroom on his head, then at his sincere smile, and thought he was even better at acting than King of Film Xu. He was the true king of film.
Little Taotie turned and ran, yelling, “There’s a kidnapper! There’s a kidnapper…”
The villagers hated kidnappers the most. Hearing that a child had encountered a kidnapper, they immediately rushed over to help.
They separated the man from Little Taotie, and two stout women stepped forward to handcuff the man’s hands behind his back.
The man screamed like a slaughtered pig, “Let go of me, I’m not a kidnapper! I’m a talent scout, I have a business card!”
This was an identity he had prepared in advance: if exposed, pretend to be a talent scout, not a bad person.
He would use the angle of spotting talent in children and talk about how gifted the child was. Adding monetary temptations, he would describe how lucrative the entertainment industry was, thereby deceiving the child away from their parents.
A woman took the business card and scrutinized it closely, asking Little Taotie, “Is he really a kidnapper?”
Little Taotie wasn’t completely sure inside, but his face wore a very certain and serious expression, “Yes, he’s a kidnapper! He gave me candy, and there must be drugs in it!”
The man panicked, and the candy fell to the ground.
The woman quickly picked up the candies, “I’m going to feed these to the chickens right now. If something happens, I’ll make you pay!”
A plump rooster was forcefully fed a piece of candy and soon twitched all over, closed its eyes, and fell into a deep slumber.
“Did you put drugs in the candy?”
“No!” the man immediately denied.
The village vet came forward to examine the chicken, saying, “It’s not poisoned; it looks like it fell asleep.”
The woman dunked the chicken’s head into cold water, and the chicken quickly woke up. It flapped its wings, splashing water onto the woman’s face, which infuriated her.
The woman turned her anger towards the man, furiously questioning him, “And you still say you’re not a kidnapper! Drugging children’s candies to make them fall asleep, were you planning to take the child out of town next?”
“Call the police, Aunt Chen, call the police right now!”
“Right, we should call the police!”
The woman thought it made sense and immediately called the police.
When the TV crew saw the police arrive, they realized just how close Little Taotie had come to being kidnapped, and everyone was extremely tense.
The director, terrified, was completely undone, knowing if Little Taotie were kidnapped, not only would the show Pastoral Life be over, but his career would be too!
Gu Yixing carefully checked Little Taotie, “Are you really okay?”
Little Taotie clenched her small fist, stood up straight, and confidently exclaimed, “I’m as fit as a fiddle!”
Gu Yixing was amused by her quirky demeanor.
The man, failing to resist, was eventually taken away by the police.
The ruthless businessman heard from his bodyguard that his person dispatched was caught as a kidnapper.
The ruthless businessman started smashing things again.
An hour later, looking at the broken porcelain pieces on the floor, the ruthless businessman grew even angrier.
“Tao Ti! Ruining my business! Now you’ve even sent my right-hand man to the police station! I will definitely settle these scores with you one by one!”
The bodyguard asked, “Shall we continue targeting…”
The ruthless businessman scoffed, “No need to bother with those fruit farmers anymore.”
The bodyguard was about to leave but was stopped by the ruthless businessman, “Invest in a movie. Have Tao Ti play the childhood role of the female protagonist.”
The bodyguard couldn’t understand, “Are you giving her a chance to make money?”
