After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005: Playing Dumb in Front of Zhouzhou? She’s the Ancestor!
As she spoke, Zhouzhou smiled and said, “We’re both children, so let me play with him.”

She then smiled at Lei Chong.

Lei Chong, upon seeing her smile, seemed a bit afraid and instinctively shrank into the police officer’s arms.

The police officer, noticing this, hesitated for a moment before saying, “How about I carry him instead?”

“No, no need,” Zhouzhou insisted, “Uncle, you still have to look after the other prisoners, and there are other problems in this town, lots of work to be done. It’s better if I stay with the little one.”

With that, she firmly grabbed Lei Chong’s hand.

Lei Chong was about to resist, but she suddenly pressed a pressure point on his hand, causing him to freeze and unable to speak.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhouzhou quickly pulled him from the adult’s arms.

The police officer, fearing Lei Chong might fall, hurriedly set him down.

Zhouzhou confidently held Lei Chong’s hand and patted his shoulder. In a heroic tone, she said, “Don’t be afraid, little brother, I’ll stay with you.”

She then flashed a friendly smile at him.

The others watching couldn’t help but nod in approval. “Zhouzhou has really grown up, she’s got the look of an older sister now.”

Indeed, she did.

Zhouzhou smiled widely, her eyes sparkling, “It’s what I should do. Uncles and Aunts, you can go ahead and work. Don’t worry about us.”

“Alright.” It was true, the townspeople were just as troublesome as the criminals.

They could be captured immediately, but the townspeople hadn’t directly engaged in criminal activities, so capturing them wasn’t straightforward.

Yet, they had more or less helped Lei Dao.

It was a headache.

But no matter how much of a headache it was, it still had to be dealt with.

Qin Xu waved his hand, signaling for everyone to get to work.

Meanwhile, Zhouzhou turned back to look at the bubbling hot pot and asked, “Where are your bowls and chopsticks?”

Lei Chong timidly glanced at her and pointed in one direction.

Zhouzhou led him to fetch two clean bowls, then happily sat down and picked up the chopsticks to start eating!

Lei Chong looked at her and obediently said, “Sister, let me get you some drinks.”

“Sure!” Zhouzhou nodded.

Lei Chong immediately ran to the kitchen, stepped on a chair, pulled out a bottle of cola from the fridge, and even opened it for her. His hands were red from the effort, and the bubbles spilled over, wetting his clothes, but he didn’t mind. He eagerly walked back to Zhouzhou and gave her a pleasing smile.

Zhouzhou glanced at him, took the drink, poured it into a cup, and started drinking.

Then, she continued to eat the hot pot.

It was so delicious and spicy, she had never had such a spicy hot pot before.

Before long, her lips were a bit swollen from the heat, and she huffed and puffed, trying to cool herself down by drinking some ice-cold cola.

She ate and drank, finishing the whole bottle of cola in no time.

Lei Chong quietly glanced at her, and Zhouzhou caught him.

She smiled at him, “Are you waiting for me to get poisoned?”

“What?” Lei Chong blinked in confusion, then shook his head and said, “Sister, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Zhouzhou snorted, “Don’t pretend, your acting is terrible.”

She was so tired of this trick!

“Isn’t it just playing dumb? I’ve started to do it even before you were born!”

Upon hearing this, Lei Chong gritted his teeth, a flash of killing intent crossed his young face. He pulled out a gun and pointed it directly at her.

He was about to pull the trigger, but Zhouzhou was faster. In an instant, she grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the side, flicked her wrist, and the chopsticks flew out, stabbing through his palm.

The gun dropped to the ground with a loud clatter, and the intense pain made Lei Chong scream and cry.

Hearing the noise, Qin Xu rushed in swiftly, “What happened?”

Lei Chong ran straight towards him, shouting, “Uncle, save me! Sister hit me!”

Qin Xu dodged, letting Lei Chong fall short, and with a cold expression, he looked at him before turning to Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou tilted her head, “Are you stupid? This is my Second Uncle, of course, he believes me.”

Although they sometimes bicker, they were still family.

Want to sue her? Keep dreaming!

Indeed, Qin Xu knew very well that while Zhouzhou was skilled in martial arts, she would never use her strength to bully people casually.

Whenever she made a move, it was always against bad people.

Thinking this, he glanced down at the small gun on the floor, quickly picked it up, and examined it carefully. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, “Is this his?”

“Yes.” Zhouzhou nodded, also handing him the cola in her hand, “He poisoned it, trying to harm me.”

Zhouzhou was already skilled with poisons, and Qin Xu had no doubt about her words. He took the drink and gave Lei Chong a sharp, unfriendly look.

No wonder he was from the Lei family, no wonder he was taught by Lei Lu. He had learned everything—cunning and acting.

With disgust flashing in his eyes, Qin Xu stepped forward, tied him up, and tossed him into the corner.

Then, as if remembering something, he looked down at the last sip of cola in his hand, then glanced at Zhouzhou, and suddenly exploded, “You knew it was poisoned and still drank it!”

With that, his gaze fell on the hot pot, and he hurriedly walked over to snatch the chopsticks from her hand, “Wasn’t the pot being poisoned? And you still ate it!”

Zhouzhou smacked her lips and said, “It’s fine, it won’t affect me.”

She reached out to grab the chopsticks, but Qin Xu refused, immediately picking her up and carrying her away, grumbling, “What kind of dirty stuff have you eaten? Aren’t you afraid of bacteria?”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes widened, and she covered her mouth tightly.

Qin Xu looked at her in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Zhouzhou replied seriously, “I feel like I’m going to throw up.”

She was grossed out.

Hearing this, Qin Xu couldn’t help but laugh and gave her forehead a playful poke, “Look at yourself!”

Zhouzhou pouted, her chubby double chin hanging limply on his shoulder.

Luckily, she hadn’t eaten too much since it was so spicy.

Seeing she wasn’t feeling well, Qin Xu gently patted her back, “It’s okay, don’t worry. If you’re really concerned, let’s go for a check-up later.”

At the thought of the cold medical instruments, Zhouzhou quickly shook her head, “No.”

“Second Uncle, I’m fine.”

It was rare for her to have something she was afraid of.

Qin Xu couldn’t help but smile.

“Let’s see if you’ll dare to eat random things outside next time.”

Zhouzhou grimaced, shaking her head, “I won’t.”

Even if she were to eat, it wouldn’t be from the bad guys’ leftovers.

It was all her fault for being so greedy.

Zhouzhou felt deeply regretful.

Before long, morning arrived, and the local police came. After handing over the town’s people to them, the criminals were taken away, including Lei Chong.

Zhouzhou left with Qin Xu, planning to go buy medicinal herbs.

As she took a step, she suddenly remembered something, turned back, and waved to the police officer who was guarding Lei Chong. She leaned in to whisper a few words in his ear.

The police officer nodded.

After they left, Lei Chong looked at the police officer pitifully, “Brother, my hand hurts so much. Can you take me to the hospital?”

The hospital had people left by his grandfather who would help him escape.

This young officer looked a bit naive, so he figured he could probably trick him.

However, the man seriously replied, “No. Zhouzhou said you’re the best at lying, so we can’t believe anything you say.”

It was her again!

Lei Chong felt frustrated, but still said with a smile, “Brother, I can give you lots of money.”

Hearing this, the police officer hesitated, but still doubted, “You’re just a kid, where would you have money?”

“I do, I do!” Lei Chong quickly nodded. “My grandfather and mom left me some money, hidden at the hospital. If you take me, I’ll give it to you.”

The police officer thought for a moment and shook his head. “I don’t believe you, you’re trying to trick me.”

Gritting his teeth, Lei Chong said, “I’m telling the truth! You can go check yourself. It’s buried under the third tree from the left behind the hospital. It’s all gold.”

That was the backup his grandfather and mom left for him.

Now, he couldn’t care about anything else.

“It’s fine, as long as the green mountains remain, there’s no need to worry about firewood.” This person looks quite greedy for money, he’ll surely be easy to deceive.

Unexpectedly, the police officer gave a meaningful smile, then immediately turned around and shouted out to the outside, “Zhouzhou, did you hear that?”

“Yes!” Zhouzhou’s little head popped in excitedly. “I’m going to dig for gold right now!”
