After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 729

Chapter 729: Legal Fee: One Lollipop
Zhouzhou listened to the voice, glanced at the despairing manager, and nodded at the evil spirit, “Sure.”

“After all, he’s done so many bad things. He won’t be able to reincarnate in the next life and will still suffer in the underworld. Letting you eat him would actually be doing him a favor.”

“We really are just too kind.”

The evil spirit nodded in agreement.

That’s right, they were the kindest people in the world!

The manager, upon hearing this, passed out in despair.

However, it didn’t take long for the pain to wake him up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a blade cutting into him, with a nearby plate full of the pieces of flesh sliced off from his body. He could even see the hair on them.

He let out a hysterical scream, “Help!”

Zhouzhou snorted, “Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will save you.”

That’s what he gets for hurting people.

Big bad guy.

The little girl muttered to herself while holding the talisman in her hand, leaving the others confused.

They looked at the manager, who lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, motionless, as if his soul had left his body. It was strange.

Only Gu Shao knew what Zhouzhou had done. Finally, he could exhale with satisfaction. It felt good.

That scumbag had deserved to be cut to pieces long ago.

“Old Li will be alright, right?” Gu Shao asked.

The others also looked over, understanding at least this much.

Zhouzhou nodded, “He’s fine now, but he’s seriously injured and will need proper rest.”

With her assurance, Gu Shao felt relieved.

He glanced at the manager lying on the ground. Even though he knew the guy was suffering in the Torture from Hell Talisman, Gu Shao still wasn’t satisfied and gave him a kick.

If he didn’t care about his own life, fine. But he shouldn’t play with their lives!

The co-worker who had called Gu Shao earlier wiped his eyes, “Old Li is fine for now, but the days ahead are going to be tough. All the money’s been spent, and he’s in a mountain of debt. That scumbag even said Old Li should pay him.”

Hearing this, he couldn’t help but worry.

If it weren’t for the need to earn money, they wouldn’t have had to leave their homes.

Now, they hadn’t even earned anything, and someone had gotten hurt.

Sigh.

Zhouzhou, hearing this, said, “Don’t worry. Make the bad guy pay.”

The co-worker shook his head, “He won’t.”

Zhouzhou didn’t say anything, but she lowered her head and pressed a few buttons on her smartwatch.

“Hello, Lawyer Feng, could you come over? I’m at…”

She gave the address and then hung up.

The others didn’t know who she had called and didn’t think much of it. This manager was notoriously slippery. They’d heard about past incidents, but he had connections, and nothing could be done to him.

This time, it seemed like Old Li would just have to swallow his losses.

Well, it just so happens that Zhouzhou never swallows her losses.

She swung her short legs back and forth, not the least bit anxious.

Before long, the sound of steady, reassuring footsteps echoed down the hallway.

“Lawyer Feng, over here!” Zhouzhou, hearing the footsteps, turned and waved her little hand eagerly.

Lawyer Feng nodded slightly and approached.

His expression was calm, though when he looked at Zhouzhou, his gaze softened a little. “Miss Zhouzhou, what can I do for you?”

“Yep!” Zhouzhou pointed at the manager on the ground and began recounting his terrible deeds.

Afterward, she turned to Gu Shao, “Second senior brother, do you have anything else? Tell Lawyer Feng.”

She had only heard part of the story from them.

“Lawyer Feng is super impressive! One time during a case, he even managed to send the opposing lawyer to jail.”

Zhouzhou proudly declared, hands on her hips.

Lawyer Feng chuckled at her words and cleared his throat. “That was just a joke.”

Zhouzhou blinked. “But could you really send the other lawyer to jail?”

Lawyer Feng adjusted his glasses, “It’s not impossible.”

So, it is possible.

She knew it–he was amazing!

He’s just humble.

She got it.

Honest people are like that.

Seeing the gleam in her eyes, Lawyer Feng couldn’t help but smile.

Turning to the others, he composed himself and took out a notebook, “Please, tell me everything. It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small.”

Gu Shao looked confused. Since coming down from the mountain, he had only been working hard to earn money for Zhouzhou’s food, so he wasn’t familiar with people like this lawyer.

But after seeing Zhouzhou nod, he trusted her.

Anything she said must be right.

Without hesitation, he began, “He dumped a lot of salt in my cooked food, making it inedible. He also bought bad ingredients.”

Lawyer Feng nodded and jotted it down, “Anything else?”

Seeing this, the other workers also started talking over each other.

Lawyer Feng didn’t interrupt and quickly took notes.

Zhouzhou peeked over his shoulder and exclaimed, “Wow!” staring at him in amazement.

So impressive!

Everyone was talking all at once, but Lawyer Feng didn’t miss a single word.

Her eyes sparkled with admiration.

Lawyer Feng nearly lost his rhythm due to her intense gaze and had to gently push her away by her forehead.

Zhouzhou obediently sat beside him, swinging her legs without interrupting.

But her eyes shone even brighter.

She would become just as amazing as Lawyer Feng one day!

Before long, Lawyer Feng finished. He glanced at his notes and quickly organized his thoughts, “Alright, I understand. I’ll start gathering evidence based on what you’ve told me. I may need your cooperation at some points.”

His formal tone and strong presence made everyone instinctively nod in agreement.

After everything was settled, Zhouzhou’s little head popped up. She rummaged through her bag and pulled out a piece of candy, placing it in Lawyer Feng’s hand.

“Thank you, Lawyer Feng. Here’s your legal fee.”

Lawyer Feng raised an eyebrow but accepted the lollipop without comment.

A five-cent lollipop.

This was the cheapest case he’d ever taken on.

Later, when he returned to the Qin Corporation, he reported the incident to Qin Lie.

As Qin Lie flipped through some documents, he paused and a trace of warmth appeared on his face.

“You go ahead with it. I’ll transfer the legal fee to your account.”

“No need, President Qin,” Lawyer Feng refused, “Miss Zhouzhou already paid me.”

He touched the lollipop in his pocket as he spoke.

Qin Lie raised an eyebrow, eyeing him curiously.

Was this the same penny-pinching Lawyer Feng who usually charged by the second?

Something didn’t seem right.

After Lawyer Feng left, Qin Lie’s thoughts lingered.

Tapping his fingers on the desk, he suddenly remembered something.

That guy’s getting on in years–maybe it’s time to arrange a marriage for him. He should settle down and have a daughter of his own.

Then, there’d be one less person eyeing his daughter.
