Little Taotie saw the nanny again within the Special Department, in an interrogation room.

And the sugarcane man she liked was locked in another interrogation room.

It was also the first time Little Taotie knew the Special Department had interrogation rooms, located on the fifth basement level, with a slight damp and musty smell.

Little Taotie was worried about the nanny and wanted to bring her food, but was stopped by Shen Cang.

"Why were they sent to our Special Department?" Hua Jinyan asked.

Shen Cang didn’t hide anything, and told them the main target of their operation wasn’t Cheng Guodong or Little Taotie, but indeed Hua Jinyan.

This time, Hua Jinyan was surprised.

"Me?" Hua Jinyan frowned, "For my family’s money?"

"The target isn’t the Hua family or Ms. Liu, just you, Hua Jinyan, or to put it another way, Mr. K."

"Mr. K?" Little Taotie looked at Hua Jinyan, "Who is Mr. K? You?"

Hua Jinyan had quite a few code names in the black K world, and Mr. K was just one of them, a rather inconspicuous one among many aliases.

But once someone realizes Mr. K is a kid under ten, even if the skills aren’t remarkable, it’s worth delving into.

"Because of me," Hua Jinyan pursed his lips, "I didn’t expect..."

"No need to blame yourself, they’re not sure, just suspect Mr. K is within the Cheng family, might be you, or possibly the mysterious Master Ma who disappeared with you and Little Taotie."

Hua Jinyan: "So they sent someone to get close to the nanny just to investigate Mr. K’s identity?"

Shen Cang nodded, "Yes."

"And the information..." Hua Jinyan was concerned.

"Rest assured, it didn’t get out. That person indeed learned from the nanny that you’re Mr. K, but they stopped in time, perhaps touched by the nanny, who knows, still needs thorough interrogation. Alright, little kiddos, head upstairs, the basement isn’t suitable for children."

Little Taotie looked at the tightly shut interrogation room door, her little feet grinding on the ground, "I want to take a look, not meet her, just observe."

"Not obedient?" Shen Cang frowned.

Little Taotie lowered into a horse stance, making a posture indicating she’s unwilling to leave.

Shen Cang: "..."

"Please," the little girl looked at him, pitifully.

"Don’t play pitiful," Shen Cang said coldly.

Little Taotie snorted twice, continuing her horse stance. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Shen Cang turned and left, not indulging her.

As Shen Cang hadn’t been gone long, Hua Jinyan tugged on her, "Let’s go, don’t waste your efforts."

Little Taotie looked at the tightly shut interrogation room door, sighed like an old person, "Head Grandpa is too serious."

"When it comes to important matters, being serious is necessary, let’s go upstairs."

"Alright."

Little Taotie drooped her head and went upstairs, reaching the main hall on the first floor, Yuanyuan came over, handing Little Taotie a stick of candied hawthorn, "Not sour, tastes nice, wanna try?"

Little Taotie covered her mouth, hurriedly masking up.

Yuanyuan was surprised, "Not eating? Why wear a mask, isn’t it stuffy?"

Xiangxiang laughed as she approached, "She lost a tooth, wearing a mask to hide it!"

Little Taotie angrily glared, "How could you say that!"

Wow!

A crowd gathered around, abandoning their work.

Little Taotie was surrounded, weak and helpless.

"Little cutie, take off the mask!"

"Yeah, yeah, take it off, let the brothers and sisters take a look!"

"Who’s that, trying to touch? Don’t scare Little Taotie!"

"Hey! Don’t run away!"

"Young Hua, don’t block us, move aside!"

"Little Taotie’s toothless look is worth commemorating, I’ve got the camera ready, where did she go?"

"Where did she run off to?"

"Ran downstairs? Young Hua, make way!"

...

Little Taotie hurriedly ran downstairs, dashed back to the fifth floor, took a breath, and stood motionless in a horse stance upon seeing the door open, it was Shen Cang who came out.

Shen Cang thought the little girl had left long ago, but seeing her still standing in a horse stance outside, sweating all over his head.

Shen Cang sighed, "Come inside."
