After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 1092

Chapter 1092: The Appearance of the Second-Highest on the Wanted List
After sending them off, Zhouzhou turned her gaze to the man’s body, her eyes turning cold once again.

Qin Xu said, “Leave the rest to me. He will pay with his life.”

His expression remained unsoftened as he spoke. Even if the man died, how could he ever repay the lives of that entire family of seven?

“After he faces the legal consequences, Zhouzhou, you continue to take his soul and make him suffer,” Qin Xu added.

Zhouzhou nodded, “Mm!”

How could she let him die so easily?

Death? This was just the beginning.

With that thought, Zhouzhou flicked her finger, sending the Torture from Hell Talisman into his body. Now, when he died, it would seamlessly connect, continuing his punishment.

Qin Xu dragged the man along, bringing her before the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Unit, saying they’d captured the murderer.

The police interrogated him overnight. The man didn’t dare to lie anymore and confessed everything.

At this moment, he truly regretted his actions.

He shouldn’t have done it. Now, he was suffering alive, and he would suffer even more when dead.

Looking at his terrified eyes, Qin Xu’s gaze was filled with mockery, with not an ounce of sympathy.

That wasn’t regret—it was just fear.

If someone truly regretted, they wouldn’t have done such a cruel thing in the first place.

Ha.

After this incident, no one had the mood to continue playing. The Qin family members quietly returned to the hotel.

Back in their room, Zhouzhou thought for a moment and then called Ye Lingfeng.

The phone was quickly picked up. Ye Lingfeng looked at his daughter with a light grunt. “What is it? Miss me? Realized I’m your favorite dad?”

“Ah, yes, yes, yes!” Zhouzhou didn’t hesitate to nod.

Ye Lingfeng sighed heavily. “You really have no sincerity at all!”

What a mischievous girl!

He rolled his eyes. “So, what do you want with me?”

“Right, you’re so smart, Dad!” Zhouzhou said with a face full of admiration.

Ye Lingfeng’s face immediately darkened. “You really only talk to me when you need something, huh!”

He was so angry that he almost ground his teeth. He just wanted to grab her and give her a good spanking!

Seeing this, Zhouzhou hurriedly said a few words of praise, then told him everything that had happened that day.

Ye Lingfeng listened and immediately sensed something was off. He sat up straighter. “So, you’re saying someone used your formation and taught others to harm people?”

“Yes,” Zhouzhou nodded. “Dad, can you help me investigate what’s going on?”

This formation was just one of many she had created, and one of the simplest ones.

If it weren’t for this incident, she might have even forgotten she had made such a formation.

She was worried that someone was using her formation to harm others, and in that case, it would be her fault.

Although she didn’t kill anyone, the method was hers, and that weighed on her conscience.

Ye Lingfeng’s face grew even colder.

“Alright, I’ll look into it. You be careful, too.”

“Mm-hmm.”

The matter was serious, and father and daughter didn’t have time to chat further. The call ended quickly.

Zhouzhou opened her computer and began her own investigation.

However, just one night later, the next morning, Ye Lingfeng sent over a document and called her, his voice full of teeth-gritting anger.

“I found it—Luke is behind all this.”

The name sounded very familiar to Zhouzhou. He was the second-ranked person on the wanted list, second only to Ye Lingfeng. He was the only person in the top ten list she hadn’t dealt with yet.

Zhouzhou clenched her fists. “I haven’t gone after him yet, and he’s come looking for me first?”

“This person has always been crazy.” When Ye Lingfeng mentioned Luke, his anger was unmistakable.

Luke wasn’t hard to kill; the difficulty lay in the people behind him.

He was a national treasure-level figure in A Country. He didn’t have martial arts skills but was a research fanatic with extraordinary talent.

This time, he had used his own invention, a spirit detection device, to see those spirits, and from there, he created the formation.

This man was terrifying!

Therefore, he had become a target for assassination worldwide. However, up until now, no one had succeeded.

Every time he went out, he was heavily guarded.

Especially after Zhouzhou had taken down their poison master, Alva, ten years ago, destroying all his laboratories and causing A Country’s medical research to fall back decades. Since then, their defense around Luke had only grown more stringent.

Ye Lingfeng could kill him if he wanted, but the trouble lay in A Country’s backing.

If they weren’t careful, it could spark an international dispute.

A Country had always eyed Hua Country with greed, looking for any excuse to attack. If they took down Luke, it would undoubtedly provide them with a reason to start a war.

In that case, Ye Lingfeng would be seen as the culprit behind a world war.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingfeng’s expression grew more serious. “Zhouzhou, don’t take action yet. I’ll come find you. We’ll discuss it and decide on a plan of action.”

“Remember, no actions before I get there,” he warned, stressing each word.

Zhouzhou had never seen him this serious before.

In the past, her father would have rushed in to take care of it by now. This showed just how serious the situation was.

Zhouzhou nodded seriously. “Don’t worry, Dad, I understand.”

“Good.” Ye Lingfeng sighed in relief. “Wait for me. I’ll come to you.”

“Okay.”

After confirming, Ye Lingfeng hung up and left immediately.

Zhouzhou thought for a moment and then went to Qin Lie’s room. She called Qin Ren over and shared the details of the situation, including the involvement of Luke.

After all, her father already knew she had joined the Fourth Bureau, and her older brother was a member of it too, so it wasn’t a violation of any rules.

Upon hearing Luke’s name, Qin Ren’s brows furrowed. “It’s him?”

Being in the scientific research field, he had, of course, heard of Luke. But he never imagined that this incident would be related to him.

Even more surprising was that Luke had managed to replicate the array using scientific methods.

They had originally thought it was someone from the Mystery Sect.

Now, it seemed Zhouzhou’s advantage in metaphysics wasn’t as great as it seemed.

Qin Ren furrowed his brows even tighter. “What does he want?”

All these years, Luke had been researching, but he had never directly involved himself in action like this—especially not targeting Zhouzhou directly.

Qin Lie squinted. “I suspect he’s figured out Zhouzhou’s true identity.”

As soon as those words were spoken, the room fell into a tense silence.

This was something both Zhouzhou and Qin Ren had guessed.

Otherwise, why would he target Zhouzhou specifically?

Only this explanation made sense.

Zhouzhou wasn’t afraid of him; she just worried that innocent people would get hurt because of her.

Thinking of something, she asked, “By the way, Big Brother, what is he researching lately?”

“Artificial Intelligence,” Qin Ren replied.

AI?

Zhouzhou frowned, unable to figure out what his next move would be.

She couldn’t make sense of it, so she just shook her head and decided to stop thinking about it for now.

“Forget it, I’ll wait for Dad to come before making any decisions.”

Soon, it was noon, and Zhouzhou received a call from Ye Lingfeng, saying he had arrived at the hotel entrance.

Zhouzhou immediately went out, “Dad…”

She had only said half of it when she stopped in her tracks, seeing Ye Lingfeng standing before her.

In the next instant, a bright smile appeared on her face as she rushed toward him. “Dad!”
