After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 433

Chapter 433: His End Is Me!
“I’ll take Zhouzhou away for a moment,” Ye Lingfeng said, holding Zhouzhou and casting a glance at Qin Lie, his expression serious. Qin Lie nodded in agreement.

Without further ado, Ye Lingfeng swiftly walked to the next room, leaving the Qin family members exchanging bewildered looks.

Grandma Qin asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”

“Nothing,” Qin Lie shook his head, then turned to Qin Ren, whispering, “Come with me.”

Qin Ren, full of puzzlement but lacking an opportunity to inquire, followed him upstairs without a word.

As soon as the door closed behind them, Qin Ren couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, do you know what’s going on with the pirates?”

When he heard this over the phone, his heart nearly leaped out of his chest. He could hardly imagine how his tender little cousin ended up in a pirate den.

Qin Lie looked at him, his expression calm as he said, “Forget about it, don’t mention it again.”

He didn’t need to ask to guess what had happened. It must have been Ye Lingfeng sent on a mission, with Zhouzhou tagging along.

But hadn’t he always objected to Zhouzhou joining? What did this mean?

In fact, Ye Lingfeng was also pondering this matter. He carried Zhouzhou to the study, turned on the computer, and initiated a video call. Soon, a face appeared on the screen.

Zhouzhou sat on his lap, waving her chubby little hand with a smile, “Hello, Uncle Zhao.”

“Hello, Zhouzhou.” Zhao Xinghua softened at the sight of her, but when he looked at Ye Lingfeng, his expression turned serious again.

He sat upright, activated the recording function, and said, “Ye, please brief us on the mission.”

This was their standard procedure. After every mission, a report was required. This time, Zhouzhou was involved, so she was present as well. Zhao Xinghua had messaged him earlier to discuss this.

Ye Lingfeng was annoyed by this. It almost amounted to including Zhouzhou by default. He hadn’t anticipated that, despite all precautions, they would falter at the final step.

Who could have imagined that even after they left, such a situation would arise? It made him doubt whether it was fate.

Taking a deep breath and setting aside these tangled thoughts, he began, “At the time, we landed on the neighboring island, and then…”

He recounted the events in detail, with Zhouzhou sitting on his lap occasionally adding a comment.

“I swam over too.”

“Then we used invisibility talismans, so they couldn’t see us, and we defeated them.”

“Why break the door? Don’t we have pass-through wall talismans?”

“When doing the problems, I asked my Big Brother for help. My Big Brother is really good at studying!”

As she spoke, Zhouzhou proudly lifted her chin, as if she were the one who excelled in studies rather than being a little illiterate.

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s heart skipped a beat as he watched Zhao Xinghua’s increasingly bright eyes, sensing a foreboding feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment, Zhao Xinghua said, “Does your brother have any intention of joining us?”

Of course, Qin Ren knew this. Apart from the action group, they also needed knowledgeable and skilled individuals, like Zheng Yu from the Dragon team, who was recruited for his hacking skills.

Qin Ren, a genius like him, had long been on their list. If someone could help persuade him, the likelihood was high.

According to the information he had gathered, this little genius from the Qin family cherished none other than his cousin Zhouzhou the most.

He had thought it out well. However, he hadn’t expected that this time, the one to decline would be Zhouzhou.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes flashed with caution. Without hesitation, she shook her head, “No, my big brother wants to be a scientist. He can’t go.”

“My big brother said that the end of science is metaphysics, but his end is me. I’m waiting for him at the end,” Zhouzhou said proudly, shaking her little head.

Though she was young, she was quick on her feet and had already reached the final destination.

Zhao Xinghua: “…”

Was that really said by that scientific genius?

He finally understood how much Qin Ren cherished Zhouzhou. Such outrageous words could only come from someone bewitched by Zhouzhou. Looking at her serious face, he decided to swallow his words.

Forget it. Zhouzhou was not like Qin Ren; Qin Ren didn’t need a guardian, just a talk.

The most important thing right now was still Zhouzhou.

He praised, “Zhouzhou, you did a great job on this mission.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes brightened even more, and she looked up at Ye Lingfeng expectantly.

Ye Lingfeng, with his usual expressionless face, looked at the little girl’s chubby face and didn’t smile.

He coldly put her down and said, “Alright, the work is done. Let’s go eat. Tell Grandma I want sweet and sour fish.”

Upon hearing the word “food,” Zhouzhou’s attention was immediately diverted. “I want to order too!” With that, she dashed off.

Zhao Xinghua opened his mouth to call after her, but Ye Lingfeng muted him first. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. Ye Lingfeng looked at him, and after Zhouzhou had left, he unmuted the call.

Zhao Xinghua guessed what was coming and sighed. He looked at the mission report and couldn’t help saying, ” Lingfeng, you’ve already worked with Zhouzhou. Don’t you think she’s really suitable? Zhouzhou is good at martial arts and metaphysics. With her around, the chances of injury are minimized.”

Ye Lingfeng had long anticipated his thoughts. His expression was unchanged, he calmly replied, “Coincidentally, Zhouzhou also sells talismans. Do you need any? Two yuan each, good value for money. If you need them, I can arrange it. Zhouzhou loves making money and won’t refuse.”

Zhao Xinghua opened his mouth. Was this about buying talismans? He wanted the one who made them!

He wanted to speak, but Ye Lingfeng had no intention of listening. He frowned and warned, “Old Zhao, once or twice is fine, but if it happens repeatedly, it gets annoying. Are you sure you want to see my resignation letter?”

One sentence made Zhao Xinghua’s back tense instantly, swallowing all his words.

He knew very well that Zhouzhou was willing to come because of Ye Lingfeng. If he left, she wouldn’t be able to stay either.

After a moment of silence, he looked helpless. “Alright, I won’t bring this up again. But if others want to do something, I can’t do anything about it.”

With that, he shrugged, showing his helplessness.

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng narrowed his eyes.

Others?

Besides him and Qi Hua, who else would want to get Zhouzhou involved?

Zhouzhou didn’t know she was so popular. She didn’t want anything right now, but she followed behind Grandma Qin like a little tail, chattering away, “Grandma, I want potatoes, corn, veggies, and sweet potatoes that can pull silk, and make me some more rice, I think I can eat two buckets!”

As she spoke, she raised her chubby fingers.

She hadn’t eaten for hours.

Hearing her granddaughter’s words, Grandma Qin felt heartbroken as she touched her plump little face, “You’ve gotten thinner.”

Zhouzhou’s voice abruptly stopped, tilting her head to look at Grandma Qin, her chubby fingers touching her face, asking worriedly, “Grandma, what’s wrong with your eyes?”
