They said they were going to treat the Prodigy well, but apart from his name and life story, Qin Baobao knew nothing about him. The system was also unreliable; it disappeared without a trace after issuing the task, without even providing an address.

System: Can I say I don't know either?

We must find the Chosen One as soon as possible, otherwise the more corrupted the Chosen One becomes, the more chaotic the world will be, and the more chaotic the world is, the harder it will be for Qin Baobao to complete her mission.

After three days of investigation, Qin Baobao finally found Duan Jiufeng's address.

The environment here was filthy and chaotic, with garbage strewn everywhere along the roadside. The stench seemed to seep into Qin Baobao's nose and skin; having lived two lives, she had never seen such a filthy living environment.

Qin Baobao tightly covered her mouth and nose, wishing she could seal off every pore on her body. She was almost vomiting from holding it in the whole journey. The main problem was that Qin Baobao felt her whole body was polluted by the air and needed to take a good shower when she got home.

Fights and brawls are commonplace here, and verbal abuse and insults are also the norm. People around remain silent when they see it, as if they have seen it countless times and have become numb to it.

It's hard to imagine how difficult it must have been for Qi Yunzi to endure until now and finally turn evil, living in such a place.

It took two hours to find Duan Jiufeng's house using his money.

Looking at the rusty iron gate in front of her, Qin Baobao simply couldn't bring herself to knock on it. It was dirty, and she was also afraid that if she struck, the rust would dig into her flesh. If she hadn't inquired beforehand, Qin Baobao probably wouldn't have believed that anyone lived inside.

He knocked on the door with his foot, and the iron gate rattled, like a machine missing a part producing its own symphony.

Qin Baobao was startled and took a few steps back, swallowing the words she was about to say. She was afraid that if she retreated too late, the iron gate would swing down and hit her, and then she would have no one to reason with.

The wooden door next to them creaked open, and a woman covered in dust, with long, wine-red curly hair, leaned seductively against the door frame.

"No one's here right now." Her voice was incredibly sexy, captivating the eardrums.

"When will they be back?"

"That's hard to say." Qin Baobao's persistent questioning made Zhang Lanlan look her up and down again, then she chuckled to herself while tucking her hair behind her ear.

Everyone living here knows each other. This family used to own a small company, but after it went bankrupt, they stopped contacting their relatives and friends.

Could it be an illegitimate daughter born out of wedlock? Zhang Lanlan immediately dismissed her guess. Who wants a father who does nothing but drink and gamble? Having a father like that is worse than having no father at all.

She's taken a fancy to that little brat? That little brat looks skinny and small, always with his head down, his long hair covering half his face, you can't see anything. Even if you could see his face, his little body isn't even fully grown in fur yet, he's obviously a child.

Absolutely impossible, okay?

This is interesting. Why did this little girl come here?

Qin Baobao was waiting for the next part to continue when suddenly there was silence. The woman was quietly tucking her hair back, head bowed, smiling softly. It had to be said, the scene was quite beautiful.

Wait a minute, you're only saying half of what you mean. Isn't this a prelude to asking for money? I didn't expect someone as beautiful as you to be talking to me about money. How vulgar, utterly vulgar.

She hasn't eaten or drunk anything here in the two hours since she arrived. Just gathering information has already cost her five thousand yuan.

It wasn't that she was stingy with the five thousand yuan; people who could easily make millions wouldn't care about such a small amount. What was most infuriating was that after the first person who asked her for money succeeded, they set up a series of schemes. They hired several people to wait for her at the intersection when she asked for directions.

Not only did she lose 5000 yuan, but she also went through a huge detour. Enraged, she grabbed a blond-haired guy and gave him a good beating. Only after she calmed down did she ask him to lead her here.

This time, Qin Baobao was smarter. She took out 500 yuan and gave it to the woman to test the waters. If the woman wanted more money later, she would add more.

Zhang Lanlan looked at the money handed to her and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing the people opposite her laughing heartily and looking so beautiful, Qin Baobao felt extremely embarrassed holding up the 500 yuan.

Did she think 500 yuan was too little? Or had she misunderstood, and the other person's heart was as beautiful as her appearance? Qin Baobao just wanted to get the 500 yuan back as soon as possible, as if she had never given it to them.

When the girl tried to take the money back, Zhang Lanlan immediately snatched it away. It would be foolish not to take money; besides, 500 yuan was her payment for one client, so why not take it?

The little girl's embarrassed and expressionless face made Zhang Lanlan laugh again. How could this little girl be so interesting?

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. This family isn't home. The man went out drinking and playing cards, the woman took the child and went back to her parents' house, and the little one went to work at the factory." After saying this, Zhang Lanlan stared intently at the young girl, trying to figure out who she had come for.

"It's Liu Jun's phone call."

Qin Baobao, her face expressionless and full of resistance, pulled out another 500 yuan. She was numb and didn't want to say another word. Only by rationally restraining herself did she manage not to run away.

Seeing that she could get money again, Zhang Lanlan quickly accepted the offer and gave the other party her phone number.

Having obtained the phone number, Qin Baobao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Lanlan remained leaning against the doorframe, wanting to see what the young girl would do next. Who knows, maybe she'd get more money soon.

"Hello, is this Mr. Liu Jun?" The call connected quickly.

"It's me. What's up? Spit it out, or get to the point. I'm busy right now. My turn. 2." The environment on the other end was noisy, and the voice was loud.

"Mr. Liu, this is what I'm doing. I'm Duan Jiufeng's cousin, and I'd like to take Duan Jiufeng in and raise him." Fearing the other party might suddenly hang up, Qin Baobao quickly explained her request.

"Bullshit! I've fed him, fed him, and raised him all these years. You think you can just take him away like that? You're dreaming! *beep beep beep*"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jun was still indignant. This little brat, after all the effort of raising him to earn money, now wants to leave home. He really needs to be taught a lesson; I'll break his legs when I get home.

The other party hung up the phone without hesitation, leaving Qin Baobao feeling both helpless and frustrated. She had never encountered such a vulgar and uncouth person before. She'd already run into trouble right from the start of the mission; she deserved to be killed by Qi Yunzi.

Despite her anger, Qin Baobao still insisted on calling Liu Jun.

But this time when she called, the other party completely ignored her and didn't answer the phone at all.

It seems that Liu Jun is adamant about not relinquishing custody of Qi Yunzi.

He had originally brought 5000 million yuan with him, intending to solve the problem with money.

What should we do now?

Do we really have to wait until the lucky child kills his adoptive parents and their entire family, and then let the murderer go unpunished?

Qin Baobao believes she doesn't yet have that ability.
