After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 737

Chapter 737: The Best Actress Begins Her Lesson
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s eyes snapped open, and a cold light flashed in his gaze. As expected, he could be certain now that something had gone wrong on the island.

“Investigate. It must be resolved today!”

Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Zheng Yu, also looking grim, hurriedly said, “I’ve already pulled the Dark Web notice, but some people have already taken the job, including the second and third ranked assassins and many others.”

Those who took the job were manageable, but the real problem was not knowing how many eyes were watching them–this was nearly impossible to guard against.

Ye Lingfeng’s expression grew even colder. After a few seconds, he said, “You investigate first. I’ll stay with Zhouzhou for the next few days.”

At this moment, Wan Leng walked in. He spoke concisely, “I’ll handle those who took the orders.”

Lu Ye added, “I’ll stay with Zhouzhou as well.”

“Alright,” Ye Lingfeng nodded.

For now, this was the best solution. Protecting Zhouzhou’s safety was the most important thing.

“I’ll also protect Zhouzhou,” Chen Tuo said, propping himself up.

Ye Lingfeng glanced at him and shook his head. “No need. Return to the island, and remember to act very weak. Understood?”

Chen Tuo’s eyes lit up as he understood the plan. “Got it!”

If someone wanted their lives, then they should give them what they wanted!

After the discussion, everyone went their separate ways.

Chen Tuo clutched his chest and walked out with a pale face, occasionally moaning, looking like he was about to die any moment.

Zhouzhou was sitting in the living room, playing with a ball, looking at him in confusion.

“Stinky little brother, what are you pretending to be sick for? Are you trying to scam me?”

Brother Dafu had said that some people intentionally make a fuss about medical issues to extort money from hospitals.

Yesterday, she had treated the stinky little brother.

So if he was trying to scam someone, it had to be her!

With this thought, Zhouzhou immediately put down her ball, stood up quickly, and with vigilant eyes, shouted, “Stinky little brother, I have Lawyer Feng’s number. If you dare scam me, I’ll have him sue you!”

She now had a lawyer!

She could afford the lawyer’s fee on her own, with a lollipop!

Hearing this, Chen Tuo was a bit speechless.

He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then bent down and whispered to Zhouzhou, “Zhouzhou, was I really bad at pretending just now?”

Zhouzhou nodded, “Yes, it was too fake. Anyone could tell you were pretending.”

I see.

Chen Tuo rubbed his chin, realizing that if his acting was so bad, he might not deceive that person.

Suddenly, his eyes landed on Zhouzhou, and he had an idea.

“Zhouzhou, let’s negotiate. I’ll pay you to teach me how to act sick properly.”

“No,” Zhouzhou refused, “Teach you only so you can come back and scam me? I’m not that naive.”

Chen Tuo was at a loss for words, clearly worried about losing money.

He held up three fingers in a vow, “I swear, I won’t scam you.”

“Really?” Zhouzhou looked at him suspiciously. “Then why are you pretending to be sick?”

Chen Tuo replied meaningfully, “To play dumb”

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. She was familiar with this concept!

“Come with me.” Zhouzhou sneaked upstairs with him and began her lesson.

“Listen, you need to cry and look miserable. That’s how you’ll fool people.”

Saying this, Zhouzhou dramatically lay on the floor, clutching her chest and kicking her short legs, “Oh, it hurts so much, I’m seeing my ancestors.”

She could actually see them.

Chen Tuo looked at her, feeling that her acting was too exaggerated.

Most importantly, he couldn’t replicate it!

Crying and moaning with minor injuries would only make him a laughingstock in the future.

He didn’t want that.

Hearing his words, Zhouzhou gave him a sidelong glance and remarked, “No taste.”

Alright.

She got up from the floor and took out a porcelain bottle from her bag. “This is the Road To Rich Pill I just developed. Stinky little brother, do you want to try it?”

“Road To Rich Pill? What’s that?” Chen Tuo asked in confusion.

Zhouzhou explained, “If someone bullies me, I take this and spit out a mouthful of blood. That way, no one dares to bully me.”

So, it was a scam pill.

No wonder she reacted so strongly earlier; it was her old trick.

“Spitting out blood, is it poison?”

“No, it’s not poison. The blood is not real, just liquid that looks like blood.”

Got it, like the fake blood used in TV shows.

Chen Tuo took it, thinking it might come in handy.

He then asked, “Zhouzhou, do you have something that makes someone look really sick?”

He was worried that he might not deceive that person.

Zhouzhou nodded, “There is such a thing.”

She took out another bottle of medicine. “This one. It won’t harm your body. After taking it, you’ll look pale and weak. When I was really hungry, I used to take this so Master wouldn’t shorten my meals.”

Impressive.

Chen Tuo’s mouth twitched.

Such good medicine, and she used it just to scam a few pieces of bread?

How wasteful.

Without hesitation, he immediately took a pill and looked into a nearby mirror. He was startled by his ghostly pale face. No wonder Zhouzhou got extra food from Li Yuanming.

It wouldn’t be good if news spread that his little disciple was starving.

He tested his strength by clenching his fist; everything felt fine, proving it was as effective as expected from Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou also looked at him curiously. “Stinky little brother, where are you going?”

He didn’t look like he was planning to do something good.

Chen Tuo’s lips curled mischievously. “Going fishing.”

Fishing?

Zhouzhou tilted her head, not understanding.

But Chen Tuo didn’t elaborate. He had been specifically instructed by his boss not to tell Zhouzhou about this.

He gave Zhouzhou an excuse and left as planned. As the helicopter’s departure time approached, he also left.

As soon as he went outside, he ran into Grandma Qin, who was startled by his appearance. “Little Chen, what’s wrong? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

He looked like he could drop dead any moment.

Chen Tuo touched his face and weakly said, “It’s nothing. I just need some rest.”

Qin Lie watched them with narrowed eyes.

“It’s nothing. Just didn’t sleep well,” Chen Tuo shook his head. He was pleased in his heart seeing the concerned expressions of the Qin family members. This was the effect he wanted.

He found an excuse to slip away, exchanging a brief glance with Ye Lingfeng before casually turning away.

No one noticed.

Only Qin Lie narrowed his eyes, tapping his fingers lightly on his leg.

Seeing Zhouzhou take Wangcai and others out to play treasure hunt, he finally turned to Ye Lingfeng. “Let’s talk.”
