After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 415

Chapter 415: Stirring up Trouble
The pressure around him suddenly dropped to its lowest, and anyone could feel the chill emanating from him.

Zhao Xinghua avoided his gaze and looked at Zhouzhou, smiling warmly. “Zhouzhou, the token I gave you that day, do you still have it?”

“Yes, I do.” Zhouzhou pulled out a token and handcuffs from her bag, shaking them happily. With a proud look on her face, this was something she had earned.

She was about to show off to Ye Lingfeng when she turned her head and saw his darkened face, eyes full of anger, which stunned her.

Why is Dad so angry?

She was about to run over with her short legs, but Zhao Xinghua held her shoulder and introduced, “Everyone, this is Zhouzhou, our new group leader of the Wealthy Team. Let’s give her a round of applause.”

At his words, silence fell below.

People exchanged glances and cautiously looked towards Ye Lingfeng. Qi Hua even lowered his head almost to the table.

“Heh.” Ye Lingfeng suddenly chuckled, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes. His voice was flat, “Zhouzhou, come here.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou immediately shook off Zhao Xinghua’s hand and ran towards him, tilting her little head to look at his black face, her small eyebrows furrowed with curiosity, wondering why he was angry.

After a moment’s thought, she opened her arms to him, “Daddy, hug.”

The cold aura around Ye Lingfeng dissipated slightly, but it was only towards Zhouzhou.

He bent down to pick up his little daughter and sat her on his lap, playing with the token and handcuffs in her hands. He also had a token like this one, with only different words and patterns on it.

There was a deep chill in his eyes as he tossed it on the table with a crisp sound, causing everyone to fall silent.

With one hand holding Zhouzhou, he leaned back slightly against the chair back, lightly tapping his fingertips with a strong coldness, “Tell me, what’s going on.”

Perceiving his unusual mood, Zhouzhou blinked in confusion.

Wasn’t today supposed to be about eating? Why is Dad so angry?

Zhao Xinghua spoke up, “Zhouzhou is very talented, and this position suits her well.”

“So what?” Ye Lingfeng looked at him, his eyes sweeping over Qi Hua, the coldness deepening in his eyes. “Is this your reason for scheming behind my back and misleading my daughter?”

No wonder it’s called the Wealthy Team; he should have guessed earlier. Only Zhouzhou liked that name the most.

Gripping Zhouzhou’s hand tighter, he looked at Zhao Xinghua, his gaze devoid of warmth. “Zhouzhou is only five years old. Are you so eager to send her to her death?”

At this, Zhouzhou furrowed her small eyebrows.

Nonsense. Ancestral Master said she could live to be a hundred!

But she didn’t say it out loud, even though she lacked understanding, she realized that the situation wasn’t right.

Dad is very angry, and it seems to be because of this token and handcuffs.

But Zhouzhou didn’t know the deeper reasons and could only snuggle obediently in his arms.

Zhao Xinghua’s expression was equally serious. “Ye Lingfeng, calm down a little. You’ve seen Zhouzhou’s abilities. Her future is limitless, and she will definitely not be worse than you. And I’ve said before, we won’t let her take on any tasks before she turns eighteen.”

Ye Lingfeng stood up with Zhouzhou in his arms, chin slightly raised, glaring at him. “Don’t repeat the same words to me. I won’t let her join.”

“I’ve also said that if you dare to plot against Zhouzhou again, I will quit.”

With that, he pulled out a token and dragon shackles from his pocket, casually throwing them on the table. Looking at him word by word, he said, “I quit.”

Having said that, he left with big strides while holding Zhouzhou.

“Ye Lingfeng!” Zhao Xinghua’s face changed drastically, immediately stepping forward, but Ye Lingfeng punched directly at him.

He didn’t dodge either, taking the blow. His face quickly turned pale.

Ye Lingfeng looked at him coldly, no hint of mercy in his eyes, full of gloom. “You can ask me to do anything, but not Zhouzhou.”

She’s still young. Even if she’s an adult, he doesn’t want her to face those dangers.

No one knows the risks better than him.

Is this really a good job? If it were, they wouldn’t write a farewell letter before every mission.

Because every mission could be a one-way trip.

Zhouzhou is powerful, so what? He just wants her to be safe.

He looked at Zhao Xinghua coldly, said nothing, and left directly.

After he left, Qi Hua hurried over, supporting Zhao Xinghua, his face slightly changed. “Director Zhao, why did you take off your bulletproof vest?”

Zhao Xinghua smiled bitterly. He had indeed intended to wear it, but he deserved that punch.

Without explaining, he hurriedly said, “Go stop him, don’t let him leave.”

“Yes.” Qi Hua didn’t care about anything else and quickly chased after him.

The others exchanged glances and without a word, they hurried to catch up, even Luo Jin followed along.

They all knew that Ye Lingfeng was the backbone of Fourth Bureau; he absolutely couldn’t leave.

At this moment, Zhao Xinghua suddenly felt regretful; he shouldn’t have used such methods.

But now that things had come to this, there was nothing he could do.

Zhouzhou hugged Ye Lingfeng’s neck, her chubby double chin resting on his shoulder. She glanced at his tense profile, feeling uneasy. She gently rubbed against him.

Feeling her movement, Ye Lingfeng reached up and touched her head.

He didn’t say anything, only quickened his pace, soon arriving at the Dragon Team’s building.

Chen Tuo, Wen Jing, and others were playing cards. Seeing him come in, they were puzzled.

“Boss, weren’t you supposed to attend the banquet? Why are you back so soon? Who’s the leader of the Wealthy Team?”

Ye Lingfeng kept his face stern and said nothing.

In his arms, Zhouzhou poked her chubby fingers, weakly raised them, and whispered, “It seems like it’s me.”

“What?” Chen Tuo was dumbfounded.

Wen Jing frowned and walked over quickly, asking in a low voice, “What’s going on?”

Zhouzhou glanced at Ye Lingfeng, then cautiously recounted everything that had happened from her participation in the arena to just now.

After listening, everyone present fell silent.

They knew about the arena she mentioned; according to the timing, that day happened to be the original selection day for the Leopard team.

Zhouzhou was afraid she had gotten the wrong place and was persuaded by Director Zhao to be the leader without realizing it.

Even Wan Leng, who was usually emotionless, frowned and showed disapproval on his face.

Zheng Yu shook his head. Director Zhao was courting death. No wonder the boss was so angry; Zhouzhou was the thing the boss cared about the most.

Chen Tuo asked, “So what do we do now?”

The boss is very angry.

Sure enough, the next moment they heard Ye Lingfeng say, “I’ve returned the Dragon Team badge. From now on, I have nothing to do with Fourth Bureau.”

“What?” Chen Tuo couldn’t believe his eyes.

Without saying anything more, Ye Lingfeng went straight upstairs to pack his things.

Zhouzhou followed him hesitantly, scratching the back of her head.

It seemed like she really caused trouble this time.
