After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Placing Another Order
Zhouzhou puffed up her cheeks, recalling the incident where he had hit her father earlier, and couldn’t help but let out a soft hum, “I’m angry.”

She hugged her chubby arms and secretly observed him, then her tone changed, “But it’s not impossible to make up. If you give me something golden with two circles that are connected in the middle, I’ll forgive you.”

As she spoke, she waved her little chubby hand, hinting at something and gave him a knowing look.

She wanted golden handcuffs!

Ye Lingfeng’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help but rub his forehead. How could she still remember that?

Even Qin Lie, who was standing at the door, couldn’t help but pinch his brow. What a silly girl.

Why would she think of something like that? It would be dangerous even if it were made of gold.

The two fell silent for a rare moment, and then Ye Lingfeng sent a message to Zhouzhou, saying, “I’ll get it for you tomorrow morning, okay?”

“Okay, okay!” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she immediately ran to Qin Lie, proudly hugging his leg. She exclaimed, “Dad, I’ll have golden handcuffs soon.”

Made of gold!

If she wore them, the talismans drawn on them would emit a golden glow!

Seeing the girl with stars in her eyes, Qin Lie sighed lightly. Let it be.

As long as she’s happy.

Sure enough, Ye Lingfeng kept his word. The next day, he gave Zhouzhou a mini version of dragon handcuffs.

As soon as Zhouzhou received them, she put them on her hand and looked at the golden color, smiling so much that her eyes turned into slits.

There was even a fingerprint lock specially made for them. When she pressed her finger on it, it opened.

This was to prevent her from accidentally handcuffing herself while playing.

Seeing her so happy, Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng didn’t know what else to say.

Zhouzhou sat cross-legged on the sofa, playing happily with the dragon handcuffs.

After a while, Qin Bei peeked in at the door and said, “It’s snowing, Zhouzhou. Let’s go out and play.”

Snowing? Zhouzhou’s ears perked up, and she immediately jumped off the sofa, saying, “Coming, I’m coming.”

She was about to rush out, but Qin Lie grabbed her and put a hat and scarf on her.

When he tried to give her gloves, Zhouzhou hurriedly hid her hands behind her back, saying, “No gloves, no gloves.”

Wearing gloves would be inconvenient to wear handcuffs.

Seeing through her thoughts, Qin Lie couldn’t help but feel a headache. He thought about how she had a warm body temperature, and every time she came back from playing outside, her hands were still warm. So he didn’t say anything and let her go outside.

Wangcai also came rushing over from the side and ran outside with her.

Soon, the duo disappeared from sight.

Watching them leave, the smile on Qin Lie’s face faded, and he walked upstairs.

Ye Lingfeng seemed to have anticipated that he would come and had been keeping his eyes open, not falling asleep.

When he saw Qin Lie enter, he even smiled at him and spoke directly, “I know you want to ask something, but I’m sorry, I can’t say.”

Hearing this, Qin Lie was not surprised. “I only have one question for you.”

“Will your actions endanger your family?”

He didn’t expect him to ask this. Ye Lingfeng was somewhat surprised. “Are you talking about the people from the Ye family?”

Qin Lie didn’t say anything, just stared at him intently.

Ye Lingfeng snorted lightly, somewhat disdainful. “If someone were to use them to threaten me, I would only thank those people.”

“As for others…” he couldn’t help but think of An Ya and the child who had left with her. If it were them, he would definitely have a soft spot, but they were no longer here.

With that in mind, Ye Lingfeng’s heart ached. He didn’t know if it was because of the wound or something else, but he took a deep breath, looked at Qin Lie, and spoke honestly, “Well, if Yaya were still here, I wouldn’t have taken this path.”

The superiors valued someone who had no attachments and nothing to lose. Only such a person could risk their life without being held hostage.

Qin Lie looked at him and nodded slightly. “I understand.”

As for what he specifically understood, he didn’t say.

Watching his back, Ye Lingfeng felt somewhat puzzled. Why did he suddenly ask this question? Was it because of the Ye family? Or was it because of the injury from the recent warehouse incident?

It was strange.

Outside, Qin Ren somehow managed to get a sled. Zhouzhou sat on it while he pulled from the front, and the trees on both sides leaned backward. Zhouzhou couldn’t help but laugh happily.

“So fun, so fun, Eldest Brother, keep going,” she exclaimed.

“Okay, hold on tight,” Qin Ren indulged her.

Qin Nan and Qin Bei on the side looked on with envy, almost drooling. Qin Bei was about to say that he also wanted to play, but when Qin Ren glanced at him, his voice instantly died down, and he shook his head vigorously.

Not playing, not playing, he won’t play.

Eldest Brother is biased, only playing with Zhouzhou!

Qin Ren adjusted his glasses and ignored his little brother.

Who needs a little brother when you have a cute and adorable little Sister Marvelouske Zhouzhou?

Qin Ren didn’t say anything and was about to continue playing with Zhouzhou. Suddenly, Wangcai jumped out from the side, bit the rope, and sprinted away with all his legs.

Naturally, Qin Ren couldn’t match his speed, and the sled disappeared in an instant. They could only hear Zhouzhou’s laughter in the air.

“Wangcai, run faster,” she urged.

Zhouzhou was brave despite her young age, unaware of fear. Her hair was blown into a mess, but she didn’t mind.

Wangcai was also full of energy. Upon hearing her words, he ran even faster. Soon, they arrived at a rundown cottage. Wangcai stopped, let go of the rope, and ran in another direction, glancing back at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou exclaimed in surprise. Did Wangcai want her to go over there?

She jogged over and looked in the direction Wangcai was indicating, and saw the dilapidated cottage.

It seemed ordinary at first glance.

But something was off.

Zhouzhou twitched her nose, catching the scent of blood in the wind. Her eyebrows furrowed. There were people here!

She touched Wangcai’s neck, gesturing for him to wait here, and quietly approached the cottage.

As soon as she reached the wall, a muscular man suddenly lunged out, looking fierce and menacing. Without saying a word, he charged at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou was already prepared and met him head-on.

He didn’t even consider her small arms and legs. The man sneered, but the next moment, a sharp pain shot through his leg. His expression suddenly froze, and his strong body collapsed to the ground.

From the corner of her eye, Zhouzhou saw the handcuffs hanging around her waist. Her pupils shrank instantly as she noticed the man’s expression filled with fear.

“You’re actually from the Dragon Group!”

Before he could finish his sentence, his face smashed into the ground. Zhouzhou didn’t catch what came after the word “yes.”

She touched her ear, her chubby face seriously. “I’m your grandpa!”

After saying that, she suddenly understood why her master always liked to refer to himself as someone’s grandpa when threatening others.

Being a grandpa was indeed satisfying!

Zhouzhou smiled happily and then looked at the unconscious man. He was covered in blood and didn’t seem like a good person.

She decided to bring him back and hand him over to Second Elder Uncle.

But how should she bring him back?

Zhouzhou turned her head and looked at the sled. In no time, she dismantled the rope and took out the dragon handcuffs, clamping them onto his hands with a satisfying click.

Satisfied, she clapped her hands. This was how you catch bad people.

She then tied the rope to the sled and was about to pull him along when Wangcai suddenly lay down on its hind legs, lowering its body slightly. It turned its head and looked at Zhouzhou, making a howling sound.

Zhouzhou understood. She agilely climbed onto its back. “Wangcai, let’s go!”

Wangcai responded with another howl and ran off, carrying her.

He ran fast and steady, but the muscular man was dragged along, his face bruised and swollen.

When they returned, Chen Tuo happened to be at the door. He was about to ask who Zhouzhou had brought back, but when he saw the tattoo on the person’s hand, his expression instantly changed.

Ross?
