After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 1052

Chapter 1052: Sending You Back Home
He didn’t care about his own life; in their line of work, life expectancy was generally short, with the average being under fifty years. What he was concerned about, though, was Zhouzhou. He feared she might get hurt, or worse, face punishment.

Looking at Qiu Guoliang and the others, his mind couldn’t help but drift to these worries. His eyes were filled with anxiety, but Zhouzhou, upon seeing him, let out a relieved sigh, thinking he was worried about something else.

“Don’t worry, Daddy. I still have Ancestral Master! And if that doesn’t work, there’s always Mr. Thunder. He’ll strike down anyone who tries to hurt me. They’ll all protect me!” she said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Ancestral Master, who had been floating nearby, spoke up. “That’s right! You’re just worrying over nothing. With me around, how could anything happen to Zhouzhou?”

Jokingly, he added, “I’m basically living off Zhouzhou now, so there’s no way I’d let anything happen to her. It’d be a disgrace if I let her get into trouble.”

Meanwhile, Mr. Thunder lazily rubbed his hands together, causing sparks to fly. It glanced at Zhouzhou with displeasure.

Stop making it sound like I’m her bodyguard!

Zhouzhou, however, didn’t care at all. Mr. Thunder’s the best!

With a dismissive huff, Zhouzhou hugged Ye Lingfeng’s legs and continued, “Daddy, don’t worry! If I can’t beat them, I’ll just run away!”

She then raised her tiny fist in the air. “And if anyone dares to inject me with a needle, I’ll punch them back!”

Ye Lingfeng had no doubt that with the medicines Jing Bai had provided, no one would be able to make anything more powerful than that.

Hearing Zhouzhou’s words, Ye Lingfeng’s expression softened, and he ruffled her hair. “I guess Daddy was just overthinking things.”

Zhouzhou, beaming with a proud grin, nodded and added, “Exactly! Daddy, you were overthinking things!”

“But I know, you’re worried about me. Seeing how the uncles turned out, you’re worried that I’ll get into trouble. Don’t worry, Daddy. The only ones who will suffer are the ones seeking troubles!”

She always made sure she got the best of things, never losing out to anyone.

Ye Lingfeng’s mood lightened as he looked at his little girl, her confidence reassuring him. With her skills and her two bodyguards, he knew she could handle anything. He smiled and felt a sense of peace.

He had been overly worried, but now, he was ready to let go of his fears.

Father and daughter walked to the hospital cafeteria, where the chefs all knew Zhouzhou by now. As soon as they saw her, they greeted her with wide smiles.

One of the chefs, pulling out a thermos box from behind him, winked at her. “This is for you, specially saved.”

Zhouzhou, curious, took it from him and opened it. The scent that wafted out made her eyes light up immediately.

Braised pork ribs!

The little girl was practically drooling, and she flashed the chef a radiant smile. “Thank you, Uncle!”

Other chefs, seeing her reaction, also joined in.

“Here you go, Zhouzhou, I’ve got some braised pork for you.”

“I’ve got fish for you!”

“Shrimp here, take it!”

Zhouzhou rushed around the table, accepting the offerings one by one. In no time, the table was covered with food.

Ye Lingfeng, watching her, rubbed his temples. His daughter’s popularity was truly something. He wasn’t worried about her going hungry in the future. Even if she were begging for food, people would fight over who gets to feed her.

Zhouzhou, feeling quite pleased with herself, nodded. “See, see? If I want something, I just have to ask, and everyone’s happy to give it to me!”

After finishing the meal, Zhouzhou suddenly remembered something and slapped her thigh. “Oh no, Daddy! We forgot something!”

Ye Lingfeng, who was still finishing his food, looked up.

Zhouzhou, biting her lip, leaned forward and whispered, “That bad guy! You know, the one who took the uncles away! We forgot about him!”

Ye Lingfeng immediately understood who she was referring to. Kurosaki.

He had been in the hospital the day they wiped out the Brian family, still recovering from a broken bone. Zhouzhou had only just finished her tasks, and it was only now that she remembered him.

She had heard that Kurosaki was still on the wanted list and was quite valuable. It made her feel a bit sad for him.

At that moment, her gaze was drawn to a bank card that appeared before her. She blinked in surprise and looked up, meeting Ye Lingfeng’s eyes.

Ye Lingfeng said, “We didn’t forget. This is the money we got for him.”

How could he forget about Kurosaki? The day he went to the hospital, he had taken care of him. He just hadn’t had a chance to tell Zhouzhou yet.

He had promised that anyone who harmed Qiu Guoliang and the others would pay the price. And he wouldn’t let a single person slip through the cracks.

With a cold look in his eyes, Ye Lingfeng continued, “I didn’t forget. This is the money I got from him.”

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, impressed. “Wow, Daddy, you’re so quick! When did you do this? I didn’t even know about it!”

Ye Lingfeng nodded, “It’s already done. This is for you.”

Zhouzhou quickly took the bank card and asked, “Daddy, did you take your share?”

After all, Kurosaki had been taken care of by them, and Zhouzhou hadn’t done much. A little something for her was enough.

Ye Lingfeng nodded. “Yes, I took my share. This is for you.”

With a satisfied smile, Zhouzhou slipped the card into her pocket and took his hand, ready to leave.

Liu Hanqiu had been helping out around the hospital during this time, and his acupuncture skills were improving day by day.

When he saw Zhouzhou arrive, he said, “Master, if you need to go somewhere, you can leave it to me. I can handle it here.”

The treatments were mostly done now. It was just a matter of time, and things would be fine. Zhouzhou had been on break for over half a month and hadn’t had a day of rest.

Qiu Guoliang and the others also nodded, signaling that it was time for her to rest.

After all, they’d been through a lot, and it was time for Zhouzhou to take care of herself.

Zhouzhou thought for a moment, then nodded. “Alright, I’ll come see you whenever I have time.”

Qiu Guoliang smiled and nodded back.

Ye Lingfeng then helped Zhouzhou pack her things.

As they walked a few steps, Zhouzhou suddenly had another idea. She slapped her forehead and looked around. Her eyes landed on a tree, and she ran toward it. Looking up, she called out, “Uncle Xia, I’ll send you to your next life!”

Upon hearing this, Xia Jin appeared from the tree, floating down. He scratched his head and asked, “Zhouzhou, do I really have to go?”

He didn’t want to be reborn.

His life had been too short, and he hadn’t even seen the bad guys in the world wiped out. He wasn’t ready to go yet.

Zhouzhou hesitated, a little troubled. If he didn’t go for reincarnation, he’d become a wandering ghost after a while. It wouldn’t be good for him.

Just then, Ancestral Master floated out and said, “Why don’t you send him to the island? There are plenty of his seniors and colleagues there.”

He was referring to the Fourth Bureau’s cemetery.

Zhouzhou had loved visiting that place when she was on the island. They were all great people with big merits, and being around them made her feel at ease.

They even told her stories and taught her martial arts. Most importantly, the place was full of good karma, and with the protection of the Heavenly Dao, no one there would turn into a wandering ghost.

Zhouzhou’s eyes brightened as she suddenly understood. “Oh, right!”

She turned back to Xia Jin and said, “Uncle Xia, how about I send you back home?”
