After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 429

Chapter 429: Father and Daughter Join Forces
“Ye,” Zhao Xinghua’s voice came through, carrying a tone of seriousness, “There have been pirates spotted in Area A, kidnapping fishermen. You’re the closest one there. Could you lend a hand in the rescue?”

At this moment, the pirates were celebrating, their vigilance at its weakest. It was the prime opportunity to intervene, with the highest likelihood of success.

Most importantly, there was concern about the fate of the hostages if action was delayed. Time was of the essence for them.

Ye Lingfeng naturally understood the gravity of the situation. Without hesitation, he nodded, “Very well, send me the details.”

With that said, he hung up the phone, his gaze momentarily pausing as he turned to see Zhouzhou staring at him. Her little brows furrowed tightly, lost in thought.

Such occurrences were not uncommon, but this time, there was the addition of a little girl.

There was no need for a farewell letter; everything could be conveyed verbally.

Meeting her bright eyes, Ye Lingfeng suddenly had a foreboding feeling.

“Daddy, I think…” Zhouzhou began, but before she could finish her sentence, Ye Lingfeng interrupted with a stern expression, “No, you don’t.”

At his words, Zhouzhou paused, blinked innocently, and said, “Daddy, you don’t even know what I want to say yet.”

Ye Lingfeng glanced at her coldly and spoke ruthlessly, “It doesn’t matter what you want to say. Qin Lie is still waiting for you. Behave yourself on the plane, and someone will take you to him after you land. Don’t wander off. You promised me you wouldn’t interfere, and you must keep that promise.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s little brows furrowed even tighter, staring at the ominous aura forming on his forehead, feeling a sense of worry.

“Daddy is in danger.”

She earnestly said, “Daddy, your forehead is darkening, and there’s an ominous aura. It’s a sign of danger. I promise I won’t cause trouble for you. Let me go with you, please.”

With that, Zhouzhou tightly grasped his arm, her expression filled with concern.

Although she knew her father’s job was very dangerous, she couldn’t bear to see him fall into danger.

After some thought, Zhouzhou even wrapped her little legs around him, pretending to be stubborn, “Daddy, if you don’t take me, I’ll… I’ll cry!”

With her mouth poised to start, she seemed ready.

“Don’t be silly,” Ye Lingfeng furrowed his brow.

“I’m not being silly.” Zhouzhou looked at him, determined. “I want to protect Daddy!”

This little girl.

Just as Ye Lingfeng was about to speak, Zhao Xinghua’s information came through. He opened it carefully, studying the map, swiftly formulating a plan of action. His brow furrowed gradually.

This stretch of sea was never peaceful; pirates ran rampant, and kidnapping fishermen was not a first-time occurrence.

What complicated matters this time was that, in addition to the fishermen, they had also abducted a scientist, hoping to obtain his research findings.

That was why Zhao Xinghua was so urgent.

Time was life.

What worried him was that the island was vast. He had to rescue both the fishermen and the scientist. If he accidentally alerted the pirates, he might not be able to achieve both objectives.

Even if Zhao Xinghua and the others rushed over now, it would take them over an hour. He could reach there in ten minutes.

Seeing the increasing hostility in his demeanor, Zhouzhou shook him urgently, “Daddy, just take me with you. I promise to listen to you, and I have an invisibility charm. I can hide so they won’t see me.”

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s expression softened slightly.

He looked down at Zhouzhou, placing a hand on her shoulder, “Zhouzhou, you must prioritize safety above all else. You mustn’t act recklessly. If anything happens to you, I won’t be able to face your mother.”

“Okay!” Knowing that he had agreed, Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, raising her chubby paw, “I swear, I’ll definitely follow Daddy’s orders.”

Ye Lingfeng glanced at the information, took a deep breath, wasting no time, and quickly briefed her on the situation on the island.

“After we arrive, we should…”

A few minutes later, he asked, “Do you understand?”

Zhouzhou nodded, “Yes, I understand.”

Zhouzhou repeated his plan word for word, without missing a beat.

“Good.” Ye Lingfeng nodded, looking out the window. They were already above the designated area of the sea.

The sea was vast, and landing directly on their target would be too conspicuous. Therefore, they needed to land on the neighboring island first and then sneak in quietly.

Securing the rope, Ye Lingfeng held Zhouzhou tightly, locking eyes with her. “Let’s go.”

“Yeah!” Zhouzhou also held onto him tightly.

Soon, the plane descended to the designated altitude, and the cabin door opened.

Ye Lingfeng checked the rope around Zhouzhou’s waist to ensure it was secure before he carried her and slid down the rope.

When there was a gap of about a meter left, he jumped down, and the plane quickly flew away to avoid detection.

“Daddy, are we going to fight the bad guys now?” Zhouzhou asked in a hushed voice, her tone tinged with excitement.

Ye Lingfeng raised his hand and tapped her on the head, afraid she might forget. He used a bit too much force.

Instantly, tears welled up in Zhouzhou’s eyes as she looked at him, her forehead wrinkled in pain.

With a heavy heart, Ye Lingfeng said sternly, “It’s very dangerous. Don’t be careless.”

“Mm-hmm.” Zhouzhou nodded, feeling a bit intimidated by his demeanor and dared not speak further.

She just looked up at him, admiration gleaming in her eyes.

Daddy looked so handsome like this.

In fact, Ye Lingfeng only restrained his steeliness in front of her, revealing a foolish side. In the missions, he always portrayed a stern figure.

“Let’s go.”

This was a deserted island with no boats, so Ye Lingfeng and the others had to swim over.

Fortunately, Zhouzhou had been playing wildly with her senior brothers, so she had no trouble climbing mountains or swimming.

Her chubby legs paddled like a fish, and surprisingly, she was not slower than Ye Lingfeng.

Glancing at her, Ye Lingfeng couldn’t help but smile at her chubby face, occasionally blowing bubbles. There was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Chubby little fish.

Zhouzhou was unaware of his thoughts and was swimming forward with all her might.

Before long, they reached the island.

Ye Lingfeng had chosen the landing spot carefully, opting for the weakest guarded area of the island.

At this moment, there was no one around.

Zhouzhou took out a few charms from her bag and slapped them on Ye Lingfeng’s clothes. In a matter of seconds, the clothes dried up.

She also applied one to herself. In no time, she transformed back into the dry, carefree little girl she was, with her wet hair now standing on end.

Ye Lingfeng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Zhouzhou’s charm was indeed quite miraculous.

Even more astonishingly, Zhouzhou slapped a charm on her own forehead in front of him, and her figure disappeared instantly.

Seeing this scene, Ye Lingfeng’s eyelids twitched, and his heart tightened.

The next moment, a chubby hand grabbed him, and a charm was shoved into his hand. Immediately, he could see her again.

Zhouzhou looked at him with a smile, whispering, “Daddy, now you can rest assured. With the invisibility charm, no one can find me.”

With that, she proudly puffed out her little chest.

This was her treasure for sneaking out at midnight.

Although she couldn’t beat him in a fight, when it came to sneaking out, she was a pro!
