The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1768: Chapter 1768: You’re Calling Me Childish

Shen Cang, rarely in a playful mood, tickled the little girl’s small belly, "Hand over the phone."

"Hehehe~~~" Little Taotie let out a burst of laughter, shaking her little head wildly, "No, I’m not handing it over!"

"Hua Jinyan, run!" Little Taotie suddenly yelled at Hua Jinyan.

Shen Cang was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Hua Jinyan, "Is the phone with you?"

Hua Jinyan turned around and ran.

Shen Cang put down Little Taotie and chased after Hua Jinyan.

Yuanyuan came forward with concern, "Are you okay?"

Little Taotie covered her mouth and giggled, "I’m fine, I’m fine!" She raised her small hand, holding her phone, "Sister Yuanyuan, let’s go print the photos!"

Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up, nodded, and took Little Taotie’s hand to the printer.

Shen Cang caught up with Hua Jinyan and searched him, but found no trace of Little Taotie’s phone.

When he got downstairs, he saw a group of people surrounding a wall, seemingly looking at something.

A sense of foreboding.

Shen Cang quietly approached the crowd and peeked through the gap to see the photos on the wall.

In the photo, an old man lay on the ground, his face wrinkled like old tree bark, veins bulging on his forehead, his body wrapped in vines, looking like a dried-up mummy.

Shen Cang: "Little Taotie!!!"

Little Taotie shivered, moved closer to Lou Lan, and hugged Lou Lan’s leg, "Teacher, you have to protect me!"

"The way you cling to my leg is really..."

"Quite skillful," said the elder leaning against the door.

Lou Lan was surprised, "You’re still here?"

The elder’s mouth twitched, "Although Shen Cang is back, he hasn’t finished the handover yet. I’m not in a rush to leave, but you all seem in a hurry to send me off?"

Lou Lan awkwardly chuckled, "You misunderstood."

"I feel like there’s no misunderstanding at all."

The elder looked at Little Taotie, "You’re too mischievous."

Little Taotie stuck her head out from behind Lou Lan and stuck her tongue out at the elder.

The elder squinted, "This is good, let the people at the Special Department see that their head isn’t invincible. Came close to dying, and would die in an ugly way. There has to be some sense of crisis, otherwise, they’re all idle like they’re just eating dry rations, not driven at all."

Lou Lan frowned, "That remark was a bit too much."

The elder shrugged, "During the time I’ve been here, my people and the Special Department people, do you see any difference?"

Lou Lan pressed his lips together and said nothing.

The people the elder brought started early every day, even without work, they were honing their skills.

Whereas the people in the Special Department, when there’s no work, are basically lounging in the hall, eating and chatting, looking somewhat lax.

Little Taotie stomped her foot angrily, "Everyone is usually so busy, can’t they relax during their free time? Grandpa, you’re like a mean landlord, not giving people rest time!"

Little Taotie had just learned about a notorious landlord in stories recently, so she deeply despised those who wouldn’t let others rest.

The elder chuckled in awe, "Indeed, I’m stricter than Shen Cang, but in our line of work, who isn’t walking between life and death? Learning a bit more today might save a life tomorrow."

Lou Lan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "What you said, I’ll take note, and give them more training regularly."

Little Taotie muttered gloomily, "They talk about walking between life and death, can’t they enjoy some entertainment, otherwise if they die without ever having fun, it’d be so pitiful."

The elder laughed heartily, "Childish thoughts."

Little Taotie snorted, "Don’t think I don’t understand, you’re saying I’m immature."
