After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Poaching
As soon as the words fell, the room instantly fell into silence. Qin Xu’s face showed a struggle, but in the end, he shook his head, “I’m sorry, Ale, we have rules, and this is not something I can talk about.”

Upon hearing his response, Qin Lie felt somewhat disappointed, but it was within his expectations. He didn’t want to make things difficult for him, so he changed the subject and asked, “If Zhouzhou recognizes Ye Lingfeng as her father, will it bring her any harm?”

Qin Xu shook his head, “I’m not sure.”

“Do you know that Ye Lingfeng is ranked first on the international wanted list? Both the political and business sectors have people who want him dead, and not just from one country.”

As he said this, Qin Xu rubbed his temples, suffering from a headache.

Even if they knew Ye Lingfeng’s identity and couldn’t afford to provoke him, they could simply avoid him. But now that they knew he was Zhouzhou’s biological father, the situation became much more complicated. The Qin family was destined to be involved.

However, the focus of the Qin family was on business, which was beyond their control.

Nevertheless, Qin Xu listed all the possibilities.

“Although that’s the case, if something happens to Ye Lingfeng, there are people in high positions who will spare no effort to protect him. His identity is even higher and more important than we imagine. So, I can’t guarantee whether the pros or cons outweigh each other if Zhouzhou recognizes him.”

Qin Lie understood this as well, but he couldn’t take any risks.

Seeing him fall silent, Qin Xu sighed, “A’lie, you have to think carefully about this matter.”

He couldn’t say anything either.

This matter was too big, and no one knew what the consequences would be.

Qin Lie also fell into silence.

Meanwhile, Zhouzhou was sitting on a chair, swinging her short legs, carefreely munching on snacks, completely unaware that her father was tearing his hair out over her situation.

After a while, they suddenly heard footsteps. Curiously, Zhouzhou turned her head and saw Qi Hua returning.

He casually sat down next to Zhouzhou, sizing her up. Although she had tricked him before, he couldn’t help but feel a little itchy when he remembered her incredible strength that sent someone flying with a kick.

His eyes shifted, and he asked, “Little Baldy, do you like money?”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou looked at him guardedly, “What’s the matter?”

“Oh, nothing.” Qi Hua smiled sincerely, “I just wanted to say if you like money, I have a job here that can earn you a lot of money without having to work fixed hours. You can come whenever there’s work, and the schedule is flexible. How about it? Fewer hours, more money. Are you interested?”

“Not interested.” Before Zhouzhou could speak, Qin Er spoke first, tightly holding onto Zhouzhou’s hand, watching him warily. “We’re still young. If you continue like this, I’ll report you for employing child labor.”

Qi Hua ignored him and looked at Zhouzhou, continuing to coax, “Little Baldy, you’re so amazing. You must have your own ideas and won’t be influenced by others, right?”

As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Er with a meaningful look.

“No, that’s not right.” Zhouzhou giggled and looked at him with her big innocent eyes, saying, “Brother Dafu’s ideas are my ideas. I’m just a little kid. I don’t know anything. I listen to Brother Dafu.”

Qi Hua: “…”

He didn’t believe her at all.

With her cunning mind, she could even be a sprinkler.

Just as he was thinking that, they suddenly heard a light laughter at the door.

Ye Lingfeng, who knows when he arrived, lazily leaned against the wall. “Let’s go, don’t embarrass yourself.”

How was he embarrassing himself?

Qi Hua felt dissatisfied, but knowing that he had other matters to attend to soon, he could only leave. Before leaving, he stuffed a business card into Zhouzhou’s arms. On the card, there was a drawing of a tiger that resembled Wangcai, exuding a powerful and domineering aura, with a series of phone numbers below.

“Little Baldy, if you change your mind, you can come find me anytime. We can negotiate the terms and benefits.”

Before he finished speaking, Ye Lingfeng pulled him away.

Zhouzhou looked at the business card in her hand. She had originally wanted to throw it away, but she couldn’t bear to do so when she saw the tiger that looked so much like Wangcai. She simply put it in her bag.

“Why did you pull me?” Qi Hua grumbled.

Ye Lingfeng fastened his seatbelt and casually said, “Zhouzhou’s father is Qin Lie, the richest man. Do you think your little money can impress her?”

“Isn’t that too materialistic? I’m doing this job not just for the money.”

It wasn’t. At that time, he was desperate and saw no difference in what he did or how he lived. The only thing he wanted to do was to avenge Yaya. So when Qi Hua told him he could help him get out, he agreed without hesitation, no matter what he had to do.

Thinking back to the past, Qi Hua sighed, “Don’t you think Little Baldy is a bit like you? Both of you have great strength. They say that one force can subdue ten. In the face of absolute power, all skills are useless. She naturally has an advantage. With proper training, she will definitely have a promising future, maybe even more formidable than you.”

“In the past, you were the one I spotted at first glance. Do I even need to mention how good my judgment is? Now you’re the leader of the Dragon Team, even more powerful than me, the leader of the Tiger Team. It’s enough to show how good my judgment is. Trust me, this Little Baldy is definitely a talented individual.”

Ye Lingfeng did not deny this.

In addition to being the leader of the Tiger Team, Qi Hua was also in charge of recruitment. Including himself, all members of the Dragon Team were handpicked by him.

His judgment was indeed excellent.

Seeing Ye Lingfeng’s hesitation, Qi Hua continued persuading, “As for the benefits and treatment, there’s no need to mention them. In the future, Little Baldy might even surpass you. Who knows, you might have to step down in front of her. You know how much importance the higher-ups place on talented individuals. Money, power, they will give her everything to the maximum. I guarantee that no one will dare to bully her.”

“As for the safety concerns you have, as long as her strength is sufficient, those so-called dangers are nothing. Look at all these years, who among us has been harmed during missions?”

“I’ll think about it,” Ye Lingfeng started the car, “But it’s not up to me to decide. I’m not her father, and the Qin family is wealthy. They also dote on Zhouzhou. It won’t be easy to persuade them.”

“Why worry? If you can offer her what she wants, anyone can win her over. Have you noticed the sack she’s holding in her hand? Just by its shape, I can guarantee that it’s full of money. Looking at her, it’s clear she loves money. Throw enough money at her, and she won’t be able to resist.”

It had to be said that Qi Hua was accurate in his judgment.

He immediately identified Zhouzhou’s weak spot.

Ye Lingfeng didn’t say anything and drove away.

Zhouzhou was still unaware that someone had set their sights on her and was happily sharing candy with Qin Er.

After a while, Qin Lie returned.

Zhouzhou noticed him immediately and ran over to him. Her chubby little body climbed into his arms. “Dad!”

After calling out to him, she suddenly exclaimed, holding his face with her chubby hands and looking into his eyes. “Dad, why are you unhappy? Did someone bully you? Tell me who bullied you, I’ll beat them up!”

As she said this, she raised her little fist with a determined look.

Seeing her like this, Qin Lie’s eyes softened.

Qin Xu, who was behind them, sighed lightly.

Qin Lie finally found someone he cared about, but now this situation had arisen. He didn’t know what to do. He could only hope that one day, if Zhouzhou really recognized Ye Lingfeng, she would be protected. Otherwise, Qin Lie feared that Qin Xu would go insane.
