After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 1002

Chapter 1002: Reselling Medicinal Herbs
Once again, the team gathered to capture Lei Dao. The team members were still somewhat puzzled and couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, is this for real this time?”

“Mm,” Qin Xu nodded.

Some of them glanced at the person behind him, hesitated for a moment, but still asked, “Boss, what about Niu Wei…?”

“He’s the mole,” Qin Xu said as he walked outside.

What?

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at him in shock. Some of them stood frozen, unable to process the fact that it really was him…

“Why?” someone gritted their teeth, “I’m going to ask him! How could he do this to his mentor?!”

Qin Xu grabbed him, “There will be time to settle accounts with him later. For now, we need to capture Lei Dao.”

“Right. Niu’s already been captured, but Lei Dao is still out there.”

That made sense.

The team members calmed down, wiping away their tears.

“Check your gear,” Qin Xu said seriously, and everyone quickly began inspecting their equipment.

Qin Xu also bent down to check Zhouzhou’s gear. After confirming everything was in order, he grabbed a small helmet and placed it on her head.

Zhouzhou looked up and smiled at him. With her face tucked inside the helmet, she looked cute with her chubby cheeks.

Qin Xu’s expression softened as he gently patted her helmet. “Alright, let’s go.”

With that, he led the team out.

On the way, he repeated the story of Niu Wei’s actions. After hearing the reason, everyone could only shake their heads in disbelief.

So, because of his so-called “love,” he ruined his own master and many of his colleagues? This time, he even tried to warn them—did he want to get them all killed?

The thought sent a chill down their spines.

Zhouzhou summed it up best: “Hopeless love struck idiot, hurting both himself and others.”

Exactly!

He should have captured that girl the moment he found out who she really was. Instead, he hesitated, hesitated some more, and helped the enemy—making more mistakes. Did he think doing more work would make up for it? No such thing!

Capturing criminals was supposed to be his job, and he shouldn’t think that doing so would make him feel any better.

If former chief and the others were still around, they would have caught more criminals together than he ever could.

In the end, he was just deceiving himself.

Did he think he was some kind of hero?

Heh.

They couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. Even Zhouzhou, a little girl, understood this, yet he didn’t? Pretending to be the great lover, disgusting everyone.

When they got back, they were going to tear him apart!

Criminals were certainly despicable, but the scum within their own ranks was even worse!

Everyone was seething with anger, and Qin Xu was equally furious.

However, he reminded them, “Reign in your anger. If you need to vent, take it out on Lei Dao and the others. If anyone dares to hesitate even for a second, just wait and see how I deal with you!”

“Don’t worry, Boss!” one of the team members shouted. “Don’t talk about hesitation—I’ll risk my life to take them down, and avenge the former chief!”

Each and every one of them had received guidance and support from the former chief. They wouldn’t call themselves human if they didn’t avenge him!

Hearing that, Qin Xu glanced over. “Your life is just as important. We’ve already lost enough to Lei Dao and his men. No more sacrifices—he’s not worth it! Our former chief wouldn’t want it.”

“Our goal this time is to wipe them all out. We’re going to face him standing tall and tell him, ‘We’ve avenged you.'”

At those words, everyone’s eyes reddened, and they nodded firmly.

Zhouzhou also raised her small fist and said, “Beat up the big bad guys!”

She puffed up her little face with great determination, and everyone couldn’t help but chuckle, the previously tense atmosphere suddenly dissipating.

The person sitting next to Zhouzhou, taking advantage of the angle, reached out and pinched her chubby little cheek, teasing, “Zhouzhou, you look pretty good in that outfit. How about you join us at work full-time?”

Zhouzhou shook her head repeatedly. “No, no! I already have my own job. Your salary is too low. I’ll help you out occasionally and earn some bounty money—that’s enough for me.”

Everyone: “…” Ouch!

Qin Xu also knocked her helmet with his fingers. “Little money-grubber.”

But honestly, Zhouzhou probably had more money than him by now. The Fourth Bureau’s rewards were pretty hefty, and little Chubby Girl must have saved up a small fortune.

Zhouzhou hugged her head, looking up at him with a pouting expression. “I’ll tell Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad that Second Uncle hit me.”

“If you buy me something delicious, I won’t tell them.”

She said that with a look of expectation.

Qin Xu couldn’t help but laugh. This girl!

He replied with mock severity, “Your salary’s higher than mine! Do you still need to covet mine?”

Zhouzhou smiled brightly. “Who doesn’t want more money?”

Hearing this, Qin Xu rolled his eyes and poked her forehead. “Stop hanging around with Qin Er. He’s bad for you.”

“No!” Zhouzhou pouted, clearly annoyed. “If I follow Brother Dafu, I can make a fortune!”

At these words, Qin Xu burst into laughter.

Make a fortune? He’d heard about it. Every time she went out to sell things, the money she made barely covered her food.

She worked hard all day, and in the end, she lost money.

The only one who made money was Qin Dafu.

The little fool hadn’t even realized it yet.

Others joined in laughing too. Someone rubbed his chin, saying with a grin, “Maybe I should quit my job and join Zhouzhou’s side. It seems like we could make more money doing part-time work than working full-time.”

After all, each bounty was at least tens of thousands to start.

Qin Xu couldn’t help but feel speechless. “If you follow Zhouzhou, you’ll starve for three days and still have to get another job to support her.”

What was he saying?

Zhouzhou shot a sideways glance at him, unimpressed. “Second Uncle, I can now support myself!”

Qin Xu snorted lightly.

That made Zhouzhou even angrier.

She realized Second Uncle had changed! He used to say how much he liked her, but now he was teasing her the whole time.

Turns out, men’s words can’t be trusted!

The little girl was sulking, which made everyone laugh even more.

Qin Xu finally realized why Ye Lingfeng used to enjoy teasing Zhouzhou so much—it was pretty fun to see her get mad.

But still, kids needed to be cajoled. If you teased them too much, they wouldn’t play with you anymore.

Thinking this, he scratched Zhouzhou’s chin. “I’ve got a way for you to make money. Want to hear it?”

“What?” Zhouzhou’s eyes immediately lit up, and her ears perked up.

The mention of money made her forget everything else instantly.

Everyone else also leaned in with curiosity.

Qin Xu grinned. “Up north, they have plenty of medicinal herbs. After the mission, we can buy some and sell them. You can sell them, earn the profit, and the shipping cost will be covered by the Bureau.”

At this, the driver sitting in the front couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. He was tempted to tell Chief!

But this was the first time the mood had been so good before a mission. Chief would probably be pleased to see them this way.

Zhouzhou’s eyes sparkled as she eagerly responded, “Does it have a lot of ginseng?”

She remembered that the ginseng Grandpa had gotten for her came from the northeast.

“Right,” Qin Xu nodded. “The northeast’s ginseng is the best quality. We’ll sell it to your grandfather’s old friends. They’re all getting old and need the ginseng.”

Driver: “…”

Are you kidding me? That was Old Mr. Qin they were talking about, the former head of the Qin family. He would never be interested in such small-time money-making schemes, so why would he help them with reselling medicinal herbs?
