Chapter 87: Danger Again
Sudden.
A voice called out from not far away: "Tao Zhi..."
The sound is getting closer and closer.
It’s dad!
Before little Taozhi could even finish his cry, Tang Minghui covered his mouth, and the little guy was unable to make a sound!
Tang Minghui's arm was clamped tightly like a pair of pliers. Taozhi had thin arms and legs, and the strength difference between adults and children was huge. The little guy couldn't break free at all, and his arm was pinched very painfully.
"Darling, don't tell anyone about seeing Grandpa when Daddy comes, or else..."
Tang Minghui suddenly smiled, his laughter was sinister and without any warmth.
His old face was twisted, and he squeezed out a few words dryly from his yellowed teeth: "I will stick tubes all over your body and suck all your blood..."
Little Taozhi was so frightened that her body trembled, tears instantly welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she whimpered like a little animal from her throat.
Tang Minghui roughly wiped away Tao Zhi's tears that were about to fall. His rough fingertips scratched the soft skin at the corners of the little girl's eyes, and her little face hurt like sand and gravel.
"Did you hear that clearly?"
Not getting a response, Tang Minghui became impatient and pinched the little guy's jaw with his fingers.
Tao Zhi endured the pain and nodded his little head up and down.
Tang Minghui turned his head to look at the people not far away, put on his baseball cap, and hurried into the men's restroom.
Little Taozhi clumsily got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her body with her little hands, wiped away her tears, and then waved to Lu Ting: "Dad, Zhizhi is here!"
"Why did you take so long? Are you okay?"
Lu Ting squatted down. He had been running so fast just now that his breathing was a little unstable.
"Zhizhi is fine, it's just..."
"What?" Lu Ting's heart suddenly jumped up.
Little Taozhi's eyes were red, and she opened her mouth. Finally, she pointed at her clothes and whispered, "My clothes are wet..."
Lu Ting breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, take off your wet clothes."
The sun was very strong today, so Tao Zhi wore a thin sun-protective jacket over her pink short-sleeved shirt.
As soon as the sun-protection jacket was taken off, the light blue bruise on the little guy's arm was clearly visible, and it was particularly obvious against the porcelain-white skin.
Lu Ting's brows furrowed, and his tone instantly became icy cold. "Who did this?"
"No...no...Zhizhi bumped into it accidentally..."
Little Taozhi lowered his head and retracted his arms, his eyes looking around aimlessly, his voice trembling slightly.
The little girl doesn't know it herself, but this is what she looks like every time she lies.
But Lu Ting knew better than anyone else.
Lu Ting's eyes suddenly turned, "Then what's wrong with your chin?"
There were two red marks, which looked like they were caused by someone pinching him.
Xiao Taozhi hesitated: "This is... is..."
"I want to hear the truth." Lu Ting's dark eyes looked directly into Xiao Taozhi's, and he spoke each word with a strong sense of pressure, "No lies allowed."
Little Taozhi hurriedly lowered her head again, twisting her fingers so tightly that they were almost twisted into a dough stick.
“I’m… sorry…”
The little fellow's tender voice was tinged with tears, and the tears that had been held back now burst out all at once, "Zhizhi didn't... didn't mean to lie to Daddy..."
She knew that lying was not good, but she was really scared...
All the grievances and fears poured out in an instant. Little Taozhi wiped her tears and choked up as she said, "Just now, there was a weird grandfather... covering Zhizhi's mouth... and wouldn't let... wouldn't let Zhizhi tell anyone... That's why Zhizhi lied to Daddy..."
Blame grandpa?
Lu Ting looked around. "Where are the people?"
Xiao Taozhi pointed in the direction of the toilet and said, "It's...in there..."
Lu Ting stood up quickly, his eyes instantly becoming fierce. He walked to the toilet door in two or three steps and kicked it open with a bang.
But at this time there was no one inside.
Lu Ting clenched his fingers.
If he knew who hurt his little one, he would tear that person into pieces!
Feeling angry, Lu Ting punched the wooden door hard, causing a dent in the hard door panel.
"Bang——"
The joints collided with the door panels, making a loud noise.
“Dad… Dad…”
Xiao Taozhi stood there with tears in her eyes, staring at him blankly.
Lu Ting immediately withdrew his hand and came to her side. He raised his red knuckles slightly and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. His low voice was filled with apology: "I'm sorry, I scared you just now."
"No." Her voice became even more milky after she had just finished crying.
Little Taozhi sniffed her perky little nose, and her misty eyes stared at Lu Ting's reddened joints, feeling distressed. "Daddy...does it hurt? Zhizhi will give you a blowjob."
After saying that, the little girl held the man's broad palm in her palm and blew gently with her little mouth pouting.
Lu Ting's heart softened and he replied, "It doesn't hurt."
"But Daddy's hands are all red..."
The air exhaled by Xiao Taozhi was warm and soft, with a little moisture, which made Lu Ting's originally numb joints feel a little itchy.
"Okay, it really doesn't hurt anymore."
Lu Ting withdrew his hand and suddenly changed direction, touching Xiao Taozhi's head.
-
After school.
Lu Ting fulfilled his promise and took Xiao Taozhi to the candy store to buy candy.
Xiao Taozhi took a small basket and came to the area where candies were sold. She took a little candy here and a little candy there. Soon, the small basket was almost full.
Lu Ting glanced at Xiao Taozhi's basket and calmly reminded her, "Eating too much sugar can cause tooth decay."
Little Taozhi looked up at Lu Ting, her eyes sparkling. She pointed at the different candies in the basket with her little hand, "This red strawberry-flavored candy is for Brother Ji Sui, and this green mint-flavored one is for Aunt Yaoyao..."
Anyone who is around the little guy gets candy.
Finally, she grabbed four Little White Rabbit candies from the shelf and said, "This is Zhizhi!"
One medal corresponds to one candy. Zhizhi got so many medals today, so she should have so many candies.
"Dad, not only centipedes don't receive blessings, crabs don't receive blessings either, and branches are even less likely to receive blessings!" Little Taozhi said naively.
Lu Ting thought for a moment before realizing what the little guy meant, and he chuckled.
It's like there's no reward without merit.
This little fool probably thought it was a centipede.
There was a sudden vibration on his wrist. Lu Ting looked down and saw that it was an interstellar call from his superior.
Lu Ting found a deserted place to answer the phone. Before leaving, he reminded Xiao Taozhi to stay by the candy shelf and not run around.
Xiao Taozhi nodded and agreed obediently.
The superior briefly inquired about Lu Ting's recent situation and asked him to prepare to return to work. He also reminded him that there had been conflicts between judges and the public in several places recently and reminded him to be careful when taking action.
Lu Ting nodded seriously and hung up the phone. He couldn't wait to go back to the place where he sold candy.
But in front of the huge shelf, there was no sign of the little fellow. Only a basket lying alone on the ground, and candies scattered all over the floor...
