Chapter 141 Fu Zhiyi

The scarred man paused in swinging his whip and said, "Then yell 'Daddy' for me to hear."

Xiao Taozhi paused and stammered, "Dad..."

The scarred man was dissatisfied: "Louder!"

Although she felt disgusted, for her own safety, Xiao Taozhi risked her life. She closed her eyes and shouted, "Dad!"

The scarred man was now satisfied. "That's more like it! Remember, all you have to do from now on is make money for me. Only when I'm well can you follow suit. Otherwise, you'll starve to death here!"

“Remember… remember…”

The scarred man gave Erdan a look and said, "Untie her."

The hemp rope was tightly wrapped around the delicate wrist. When the rope loosened, the red marks on the wrist were clearly visible, with a few scattered bloodstains.

"Since you look quite well behaved, I'll give you some space to move around for now. But remember, don't try to escape, or I'll break your legs!" The scarred man cast a fierce gaze on Tao Zhi's fair calves and threatened viciously.

Little Taozhi shivered when he was stared at, and nodded hurriedly: "Zhizhi will be good."

"Didn't I just tell you your name? How could you forget it now?!"

Another whip came towards Tao Zhi. The little guy shrank back and the whip hit the corner of his clothes.

"No……"

Xiao Taozhi immediately changed her tone: "Babao will be good..."

The scarred man smiled with satisfaction: "That's pretty good."

After saying that, he left two bags of cheap nutrient solution and a bottle of water and left.

The rusty subway door slammed shut.

Not long after, they were pulled apart again.

Two burly men came in dragging a young boy.

The boy was about eleven or twelve years old. His hands and feet were tied, his mouth was sealed, and his body was covered with scars of varying sizes, some of which were still bleeding.

But the young man was unaware of it. His face flushed red and he glared at the two men in front of him. He twisted his body stubbornly to break free.

The two men threw the boy to the ground.

"This kid is really a tough guy. He still refuses to stop even after being beaten like this!"

"He's just a little brat. Even if he's not afraid of pain, I'll definitely starve him down for a few days and he'll be completely submissive! Then we'll see if he still has the strength to resist!"

One of the blond men kicked the young man on the ground and suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Taozhi: "Keep an eye on him, you hear me?"

Little Taozhi shrank her shoulders and nodded quickly.

The green-haired man patted the yellow-haired man on the back and laughed ugly: "Brother Jian, don't be so mean to the girl. Look, you scared her."

After saying this, he used the tip of his shoe to hook the chin of the young man on the ground. "You should learn from other girls and be more sensible. You should have recognized my eldest brother as your father long ago. You won't have to suffer any physical pain and you will still have food to eat. I advise you to surrender to us as soon as possible so that you don't have to suffer any more."

The anger in the boy's eyes grew even stronger. He turned his face away forcefully. He felt disgusted even to look at the two men for another second.

"Little girl, this brother doesn't want to listen to the uncles. Can you persuade him on his behalf?" The green-haired man retracted his foot.

Little Taozhi's clear eyes flickered twice, and she looked very well-behaved. She nodded her head and said, "Okay."

There was a clanging sound coming from outside. It must be two men locking the door with an iron chain.

After there was absolutely no sound outside, little Taozhi got up, tiptoed to the iron gate, stood on tiptoe, and used her small hands to pull the small window on the door to look out.

There was no one in the dim corridor.

Little Taozhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked with her big round eyes at the young man who had just been thrown in.

"Little brother?"

Xiao Taozhi called him softly tentatively.

But the boy on the ground seemed to be asleep and didn't hear anything, and there was no sound at all.

When Xiao Taozhi got closer, he found that the boy's mouth was sealed.

She squatted down and tore off the tape on the boy's mouth.

At the moment when Xiao Taozhi's soft little fingers touched the skin at the corner of the boy's mouth, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, and stared at her fiercely with his red eyes!

His fingers trembled, and Xiao Taozhi fell to the ground in fright.

Ugh, this brother is so fierce...

But since the boy's hands and feet were tied, he couldn't hurt the little guy at all.

Xiao Taozhi slowly approached again and tore off the tape on the boy's mouth under his sharp gaze.

"Brother, my name is Tao Zhi, what's your name?" He greeted the boy warmly.

Unexpectedly, Fu Zhiyi not only didn't appreciate it, and didn't thank Xiao Taozhi for helping him tear off the tape, but instead yelled at her: "Get lost! You worthless thing, you were kidnapped and yet you're still rushing to acknowledge the thief as your father and counting money for him. How disgusting! Stay away from me!"

It's unbearable to be scolded even though you mean well. No matter how good your temper is, you can't stand it.

What's more, Xiao Taozhi was also a victim abducted by human traffickers, and she was already very scared.

"Stay away if you want. Who wants to rely on you?"

Xiao Taozhi walked angrily to another corner and sat down, then opened a packet of nutrient solution and drank it.

Xiao Taozhi hasn't eaten anything from morning till now, and her stomach has rumbled countless times.

Even though he was extremely hungry, Xiao Taozhi was able to force himself to drink the nutrient solution no matter how unpalatable it was, and he finally felt some strength back.

Xiao Taozhi found her small cross-body bag in the corner.

There were signs of someone rummaging through the place, but nothing was missing. It might be because the Yi Xiaobao napkins and two Little White Rabbit milk candies inside were not valuable.

Xiao Taozhi opened the invisible zipper in her bag and took out a small box and a few Band-Aids.

Ever since she was pushed and hit her forehead in Bo Xuanyu's bedroom last time, Bo Jinzhou has been stuffing a few Band-Aids or medicine for broken bones in Xiao Taozhi's messenger bag, backpack and pockets, just in case.

Xiao Taozhi endured the pain and gently applied some medicine to her wrists and the places where she had been whipped.

Her clear gaze suddenly stopped at the motionless figure in another corner, and she paused in closing the medicine bottle.

He lowered his eyelashes and thought for a few seconds.

Xiao Taozhi walked to Fu Zhiyi with the medicine bottle and squatted down quietly.

When the cold ointment was applied to his skin, Fu Zhiyi shuddered violently and subconsciously tried to dodge.

He frowned. "What are you doing? You're pretending to heal me and want me and those traffickers to surrender? I'm telling you, forget it! Get away from me! I don't need your spineless charity..."

Before Fu Zhiyi could finish his words, his mouth was taped shut again.

"You're so noisy."

Little Taozhi wrinkled his face and scratched his ear impatiently.

Luckily, she had just stuck the tape on the wall and didn't throw it away, so it can still be used.

She carefully rolled up Fu Zhiyi's sleeves, and several red marks on the boy's thin white arms came into view.

The blood on two of the wounds had already coagulated, while the other was still bleeding.
