After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 538

Chapter 538: Brother Fox Buried in the Earth?
“Dad, what happened?” Zhouzhou noticed his strange expression and hurried over, hugging his leg. She looked up with concern.

Ye Lingfeng patted her head and didn’t speak. He bent down, picked up the chubby little girl, and walked over to Qin Lie. In a low voice, he said, “I need to take Zhouzhou away early.”

Qin Lie frowned, his eyes showing concern. “What do you need her help for?”

Ye Lingfeng looked around and pulled him to a corner. Zhouzhou leaned closer, her chubby ears perked up as she listened.

“Luo Jin has disappeared,” he said.

“What? Brother Fox!”

“What do you mean?” Qin Lie furrowed his brows.

“He was on a mission and suddenly went missing. I need Zhouzhou’s help.”

Luo Jin was from the Spirit group, responsible for spirit-related affairs. This incident was likely related to that.

The only person in the Dragon group who understood this was Wen Jing, who was currently on a mission and couldn’t return in time.

If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have let Zhouzhou go.

Qin Lie still frowned deeply. He naturally didn’t want Zhouzhou to take risks. Unexpectedly, the little chubby girl in his arms was eager, “I want to go, I want to save Brother Fox.”

Seeing her determination, Qin Lie sighed helplessly, knowing he couldn’t stop her.

Training someone in the Fourth Bureau wasn’t easy; losing anyone was a loss.

This was also why Ye Lingfeng, knowing that Luo Jin had plotted against Zhouzhou, was still willing to save him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Zhouzhou,” he said, then wasted no more time and immediately carried Zhouzhou away.

Grandma Qin and the others looked puzzled and asked, “Why did they leave suddenly?”

Qin Lie’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “They have something to take care of.”

After hearing this, Grandma Qin wanted to ask again, but Grandpa Qin shook his head slightly, signaling her not to ask anymore.

Up to now, they still didn’t know what Ye Lingfeng did, but they could see that he wasn’t an ordinary person.

Seeing this, Grandma Qin could only swallow her words.

On their way, Ye Lingfeng started the car and reported Luo Jin’s birthday, letting Zhouzhou calculate it.

Zhouzhou shook the copper coin and looked at the hexagram, her eyes showing confusion.

Couldn’t believe the outcome, she recalculated, but the result was the same.

Brother Fox is in the ground?

But people are not plants. Why would they be in the ground?

Seeing her strange expression, Ye Lingfeng asked, “What’s wrong?”

Zhouzhou explained the hexagram to him. After hearing her, Ye Lingfeng frowned, “So, he’s in the ground now?”

Zhouzhou thought for a moment, nodded, then shook her head. “Yes, but he’s still alive.”

How strange! What’s going on here?

But one thing is certain: his situation was not very optimistic.

After saying this, she quickly fastened her seatbelt and held the compass to indicate the direction.

Ye Lingfeng also immediately started the car.

On the way, he also recounted the details of Luo Jin’s mission.

“There have been frequent accidents among the workers at a nearby construction site. Luo Jin noticed something wrong there, so he went to investigate, and then disappeared.”

Zhouzhou, holding her chubby face, asked curiously, “What happened at the construction site?”

Driving, Ye Lingfeng’s expression darkened slightly. “A worker fell from above some time ago and died.”

At this, Zhouzhou’s eyes widened suddenly. She sensed the meaning in his words. “It wasn’t an accident?”

“According to what Luo Jin found, the safety ropes were properly tied, but they suddenly broke. What’s even stranger is that when the family came to collect the body, they were told that the body had already been cremated. But later, when the urn accidentally fell to the ground, it was full of flour.”

Now Zhouzhou was a little stunned. The body was gone? Where did it go?

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at the copper coin. She couldn’t help but think of the hexagram she had just seen, feeling that something was wrong somewhere.

Regardless, they had to find Luo Jin as soon as possible.

Ye Lingfeng drove faster, urging Zheng Yu and the others to continue searching for Luo Jin’s whereabouts.

Zhouzhou also stared at the compass, her chubby fingers agilely calculating. She was afraid that Luo Jin would turn into flour before they arrived.

After a rushed journey, they finally arrived at their destination.

Zhouzhou looked up at the tall building in front of her, her chin almost parallel to the ground. She almost lost her balance and almost fell, but Ye Lingfeng reached out in time to help her.

Zhouzhou straightened up, smiled at him, and asked curiously, “Is this where Brother Fox disappeared?”

“Yeah,” Ye Lingfeng nodded.

Zhouzhou looked at the compass in her hand, pointing at the building in front of her for a while, then pointing to another place.

However, it was always unstable, and she was a little confused. It was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

She checked it carefully to make sure it wasn’t broken.

How could this be? Could there really be two Brother Foxes?

Just as she was about to take a few steps forward to see what was going on, a person suddenly came over and stopped them.

“Stop, what are you doing?” A man in a suit, wearing a safety helmet, walked over, glanced up and down at them, and when his eyes fell on Zhouzhou, they flashed slightly.

Ye Lingfeng narrowed his eyes when he noticed his gaze and was about to speak, but Zhouzhou quickly pinched his hand.

The hand that was about to strike also stopped.

Zhouzhou blinked and asked innocently, “Uncle, my dad and I are lost. Do you know where there’s a restaurant? I’m so hungry.”

As she spoke, she pitifully touched her little belly.

The little girl looked like a piece of jade, soft and cute, like a soft bun. As for Ye Lingfeng, the man glanced at him, his eyes resting on his face, and he disdainfully curled his lips.

What’s the use of a handsome man if he’s poor?

Thinking of this, he adjusted the belt on his beer belly and said, “Well, you’re in the wrong place. It’s desolate here, and there’s no restaurant.”

“What?” Zhouzhou’s face instantly fell, her little head drooping. “What should we do? Dad, I’m hungry, and the car is out of gas. What should we do?”

With that, Zhouzhou seemed to collapse and, pulling his throat, burst into tears with a “wow.”

Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng quickly picked her up, blocking her eyes that were clean and tearless, and said with distress, “Be good, don’t cry, it’s my fault, you rest assured, Dad will find a way to find you something to eat.”

As he spoke, he took out a few hundred-yuan bills and, as if he were a fool with a lot of money, threw them to the man, saying imperiously, “You find a way to get us something to eat, and this money is yours.”

Seeing him like this, the man was even more disdainful, and when he saw Zhouzhou, he sighed, “Forget it, who makes me a good person?”

“In this way, my house is nearby, and I’ll take you to my house for dinner.”

“Really?” Zhouzhou was delighted, and she scratched her head with some embarrassment. “Is it too much trouble for you, Uncle?”

“No.” The man looked at Zhouzhou. “Since your dad gave me so much money, I won’t lose out.”

With that, he took them away in a hurry.

It’s just that one child is still missing, and I didn’t expect to make up for it.

He was just happy, but he didn’t notice the eye contact between the father and daughter behind him, where there was no naive look.
