Chapter 401: Could It Be a Little Dwarf?
Height: Unable to detect.
What does “unable to detect” mean?
Is it because they are too tall to be measured, or could it possibly be below the detectable range?
Could a dwarf even pass the checkpoints?
He was bewildered, furrowing his brows tightly.
The only possibility was that this person was definitely not from their island.
Suddenly, his face darkened.
The island was their secret training base, isolated from the outside world. Only the highest-ranking officials were aware of its existence; others had no clue.
Who found out about it and infiltrated? What was the purpose? Was this record of passing the 101st checkpoint a challenge to them?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xinghua’s frown deepened as he looked at the checkpoint inside and said, “Set the difficulty to the highest. I want to see if this unknown can pass this time.”
A provocation, was it? He wanted to see what they were capable of!
Luo Jin stood aside, looking at the records in his hand, his fingers subconsciously rubbing together, his handsome brows tightly furrowed.
Could it really be that little one?
How could such a tiny little bun manage it?
Or perhaps, it was someone else who had infiltrated?
He said nothing, waiting to see the truth revealed.
At that moment, Zhouzhou was unaware she was being watched. She was resting on a chair, hugging her little belly.
People gathered around, chatting animatedly.
“As expected of Captain Ye’s daughter, she’s so beautiful.”
“Indeed, and she eats so well. She must be a good child.”
“Her hairstyle is quite unique too.”
Zhouzhou listened to their words, smiling generously at them.
She thought they had excellent taste!
Especially the uncle who praised her fortune pigtails.
The little girl touched her spiky hairstyle proudly, feeling extremely happy.
Just then, everyone’s phones beeped simultaneously with an unusual alert tone.
They all looked down, and upon seeing the content, their expressions changed.
Wen Jing saw it too, her brows furrowing. Without a word, she picked up Zhouzhou and walked out swiftly. Jinbao, bewildered, quickly followed.
The others dispersed immediately, each with a serious and vigilant expression.
Zhouzhou was puzzled, wondering what had happened.

“Stay here,” Wen Jing said as she brought Zhouzhou back to Ye Lingfeng’s room, instructing, “Stay with the boss and don’t run around. I’ll be back soon.”
Zhouzhou, though confused, saw her urgency and obediently nodded, “Okay, got it.”
Wen Jing ruffled her hair gently before leaving quickly, her face darkening.
How dare someone infiltrate their island! Truly audacious!
Unbeknownst to her, the audacious one she had just held was now sitting cross-legged on the bed, her chubby paws resting on Ye Lingfeng’s wrist. His pulse was steady; with rest and detoxification, he would fully recover.
Seeing sweat on his forehead, Zhouzhou ran to the bathroom, wrung out a towel, and gently wiped his face.
After finishing, she yawned. Having not slept all night, fatigue washed over her. She placed the towel aside, clambered onto the bed, and soon, her gentle breathing filled the room.
In the quiet room, the father and daughter slept soundly, a scene of serene tranquility.
However, the atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy.
“You all know the situation,” Zhao Xinghua began slowly. “An unknown individual has infiltrated our island. From now on, everyone must remain on high alert. Report any suspicious activity immediately!”
“Yes,” the group responded in unison, their expressions grim.
Chen Tuo looked at the damaged tools in the photos, especially the copper figures with damaged legs, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
This looked like Master Zhou’s work.
After all, a shortie would need to jump to kick someone’s chest.
The copper figures in the formation were densely packed, making it likely Master Zhou couldn’t jump.
Moreover, these weren’t real people who would be kicked away; they required real fighting techniques.
But could it really be her?
He had asked Wan Leng about the last checkpoint: a set of questions. How could the little illiterate girl, who barely knew addition and subtraction for making money, possibly solve them?
It seemed unlikely.
Everyone remained vigilant, waiting for the intruder to appear. Yet, a day passed with no signs.
At that moment, the audacious Zhouzhou was soundly asleep in Ye Lingfeng’s arms.
Jinbao sneaked in silently, eyes shining at Ye Lingfeng’s golden aura. Just as it was about to jump over to bask in the golden light, a chubby paw caught it firmly, pulling it into a hug.
“Jinbao, be good. Don’t disturb Daddy’s sleep,” Zhouzhou mumbled.
Jinbao looked up, bewildered, at Zhouzhou’s closed eyes, feeling deflated.
Was she pretending to sleep?
How could she catch it otherwise?
It refused to give up, but each time it almost escaped, Zhouzhou would pull it back, not allowing it even a bit of golden light. After a while, Jinbao lay down exhausted, tongue lolling.
The little girl was incredibly strong.
It was scared.
It stared longingly at the golden light on Ye Lingfeng, drooling, but couldn’t get any closer.
Frustrated.
Zhouzhou, unaware of Jinbao’s woes, slept soundly.
Outside, however, chaos reigned.
As night fell, Wen Jing and the others had searched all day without finding any suspicious traces. She rubbed her temples, puzzled.
Who was it, and what was their goal?
No one was injured, not a single needle missing, and the only action was passing the 101st checkpoint repeatedly.
What was this nonsense?
Had they come all this way just to pass checkpoints? With so many attempts, were they mocking them?
Her brows furrowed.
Chen Tuo approached, equally exhausted, and asked, “Where’s Master Zhou?”
Oh right, Zhouzhou was still here!
Wen Jing slapped her forehead, realizing she had forgotten about the girl, who hadn’t eaten since noon. Zhouzhou, who ate a lot, must be starving by now.
Thinking of this, she hurried to Ye Lingfeng’s room.
At that moment, Zhouzhou was just waking up, her eyes adjusting to the darkness.
The door opened, and the lights turned on.
Seeing Zhouzhou sitting on the bed, Wen Jing felt a pang of guilt. “Sorry, I’ve been busy all day and didn’t have time to accompany you.”
The intruder had been too cunning. They had searched all day without finding a trace.
She hadn’t had a chance to take care of Zhouzhou properly.
Zhouzhou blinked and smiled at her, “It’s okay, Sister Marvelous. I had Jinbao with me.”
She hugged Jinbao, shaking it gently.
Jinbao drooped its head, looking listless, its short legs kicking weakly.
Unable to bask in the golden light, it was unhappy.
Ignoring it, Wen Jing patted Zhouzhou’s head, “Are you hungry?”
“Yes!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously.
“Let’s go eat.”
At this, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. She quickly got out of bed and followed Wen Jing to the dining hall.
This time, the dining hall was silent, with everyone looking somber.
Zhouzhou, curious, asked, “Sister Marvelous, what happened?”
Wen Jing nodded, briefly explaining, “Someone infiltrated the island.”
What?
Zhouzhou’s eyes widened. She waved her little fists, declaring, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you all. If that person dares to come, I’ll beat them up!”
For some reason, she shivered, and Jinbao on her head jumped as if disagreeing with her words.
Zhouzhou, confused, patted her head.
What’s wrong?
