After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 543

Chapter 543: Soothing Zhouzhou, The More Soothing, The Lower She Goes
The chief also sensed something amiss and looked at Zhouzhou with suspicion.

Ye Lingfeng stepped forward, blocking the chief’s inquisitive gaze and said lightly, “Since the body has been found, the rest is up to you.”

“Understood.” The chief withdrew his gaze, hastily replied with respect, then glanced at Zhouzhou, somewhat hesitantly. “Perhaps you and your companions will need to make some statements.”

Zhouzhou was familiar with this process.

After making the statements and catching the bad guys, they could get paid. But this process was from Second Uncle’s side. This uncle was stingy and didn’t give out bonuses.

Thinking of this, Zhouzhou pouted and looked at the chief unhappily.

The chief was puzzled, not knowing where he had offended the little girl, so he turned to Ye Lingfeng for help.

Ye Lingfeng comfortingly pinched Zhouzhou’s chubby cheeks and said, “Finding the body and catching the bad guys should warrant a reward, shouldn’t it?”

With a slightly imposing gaze towards the chief, implying “dare you say otherwise”, he added, “After all, isn’t that right?”

The chief couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat and hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes, once the case is closed, we will definitely reward the young lady.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou finally felt happy.

But when her gaze fell on the spirit sobbing on the side, she felt a sense of reluctance again.

She looked at the chief and asked, “Does this uncle have money too?”

The chief was taken aback, then realized who she was referring to and nodded. “Yes, compensation will be given to his family.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou nodded and put the spirit into the Soul Nourishing Talisman, then got into the police car and went to the police station.

But as soon as they arrived at the police station, a group of people blocked their way.

They were dressed in dull black clothes and showed a credential to the chief from their pockets, saying, “Let us have their statements.”

Curiously, Zhouzhou looked over, but being too short, she couldn’t see clearly. Instinctively, she clung to Ye Lingfeng’s leg, tiptoed, and stretched her neck.

Before Ye Lingfeng could react, Luo Jin walked over, pinched her ponytail, and clicked his tongue. “You little shorty, even if you jump, you can’t reach anyone. What can you see?”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou turned her head and looked at him, pouting. “I’ll grow taller!”

“Really?” Luo Jin smiled playfully, teasing her deliberately. “Then try growing one right now.”

Zhouzhou was dumbfounded. How could she grow taller now?

Wasn’t it up to her whether she wanted to grow or not?

Hmph!

Zhouzhou moved her head away angrily, hugged Ye Lingfeng’s leg, and complained, “Daddy, Brother Fox is bullying me.”

Ye Lingfeng comfortingly scratched her double chin, turned to look at Luo Jin, displeased.

“Why are you treating your sister like this? You’re the elder brother, can’t you act like one?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Jin’s lips twitched.

He cursed inwardly at the father and daughter for being troublesome.

Both trying to take advantage of him.

Bah!

The men in black also glanced at them, greeted Ye Lingfeng first, then turned to Luo Jin. “Come with us, for a moment.”

Zhouzhou peeked out and saw Luo Jin’s lips instantly straightened, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

He didn’t like the people in front of him.

But these uncles were not bad people.

She looked at them curiously, unable to figure out what was going on. But obviously, Ye Lingfeng knew them too, so she followed along while being carried by him.

When they arrived at the interrogation room, the men in black sat up straight, holding a notebook in their hands.

“Speak, what happened? How did you find the body, and what is your connection to this matter?”

As they spoke, there was a hint of skepticism in their voices.

Zhouzhou was taken aback, subconsciously looking at Luo Jin, only to see him leaning back expressionlessly in his chair, hands clasped together, his expression cold and indifferent.

This was a side of him she had never seen before.

Every time she saw Brother Fox before, he was mischievous, not like now, as still as stagnant water.

She wrinkled her small nose, unable to help but say, “Brother Fox found the spirit underground, and he also helped find the person.”

“To find the person, he even peeled off his own soul.”

She didn’t like their tone, as if Brother Fox had harmed someone.

After speaking, Zhouzhou jumped off Ye Lingfeng’s lap, ran to Luo Jin’s side, and climbed onto his lap, clinging to his leg.

This was the first time Luo Jin had held her. The soft touch in his arms made him stiffen for a moment, and the scent of milk from reached his heart, stirring up a strange emotion.

He lowered his eyes to look at the little chubby girl in his arms, feeling a little dazed.

“Don’t be afraid.” Zhouzhou patted his hand soothingly. “Brother Fox, I’ll protect you.”

Luo Jin didn’t say anything, his gaze softened.

The little chubby girl was indeed capable of melting hearts.

But the next moment, when he heard what Zhouzhou said, his face stiffened again.

He only heard Zhouzhou say, “Daddy will protect you too, don’t worry, we’re all here.”

Luo Jin: “…”

Touching indeed.

Just trying to take advantage of him.

He raised his hand, intending to put Zhouzhou down, but when he met her worried gaze, his hand paused, and he didn’t continue.

He looked at the men in black across from him and said, “I just passed by and sensed the malevolent aura. I investigated and found out about this matter.”

“Before this, I had never been here. You can verify it.”

He was concise, his tone calm.

The men in black glanced at each other, somewhat surprised.

This was the first time he had cooperated like this.

After a glance at the little girl in his arms, the men in black nodded, lowered their heads, and began to record.

Watching them, Zhouzhou said, “You should also reward Brother Fox. It was thanks to him this time, otherwise the victim’s spirit would have dissipated soon.”

Hearing this, the expressions of the men in black became even more astonished, as if they couldn’t believe Luo Jin was capable of such a thing.

“It’s true,” Ye Lingfeng said from the side.

Hearing his words, the men in black, even if they were surprised, did not doubt them. After finishing the record, they quickly left.

Zhouzhou watched their backs, tilting her small face to look at Luo Jin and asked, “Brother Fox, who are they?”

“The law enforcement officers of the Mystery Sect Tribunal.”

Huh, she remembered that Sister Marvelous was also from there.

She blinked, looking puzzled.

Seeing her thoughts, Luo Jin nodded. “That’s right, Wen Jing is also from the Tribunal.”

“Then why are they talking to you like this?”

At this, Luo Jin paused, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. “People like me need to be wary.”

“It’s not just about being wary of you,” Ye Lingfeng stood up, “It’s just routine business, even I have to report when the task is over.”

Luo Jin pursed his lips and said nothing.

But obviously, he didn’t take this to heart.

Even if everyone reported, it was not the same.

He was speaking normally, while he had to be interrogated like a criminal.

Ye Lingfeng shook his head slightly, sighed lightly in his heart.

He could only blame himself for being like that when he first came to the Fourth Bureau.

Zhouzhou didn’t know what they were talking about. She looked around, left and right, but her gaze still landed on Luo Jin.

She leaned over to him, rubbing her face against his, giving him a bright smile.

“Brother Fox, don’t be afraid, you still have me and our dad…?”

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhouzhou’s mouth was covered.

Luo Jin looked at her, the corners of his mouth twitched, biting his back teeth. “Shut up, stop comforting me!”
