After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 749

Chapter 749: Anticipation
Xi Mo: “…”

He opened his eyes and immediately noticed Zhouzhou’s bright eyes, gleaming with the excitement of making money. He sat up, lifting the little chubby girl into a proper sitting position, frowning, “Are you still thinking about this?”

Zhouzhou nodded her little head vigorously, clutching her chest with a pitiful expression, “My heart hurts. Only money can make it better.”

“I can’t sleep without money.”

But she had been sleeping all day.

Xi Mo knew these were just excuses. The truth was that the little girl couldn’t stop thinking about money–she wasn’t willing to miss out on even a single penny.

However, this matter was not so simple.

He shook his head resolutely, “No.”

“You can’t go. It’s too dangerous, and Ye Lingfeng is already handling those people.”

“That’s exactly why we should go help Sharp Tongue Daddy!” Zhouzhou said softly.

Xi Mo remained unmoved, still shaking his head firmly despite Zhouzhou’s constant begging and cajoling.

Finally, Zhouzhou had no choice. She rolled out of bed, put her hands on her chubby little waist, and said in an authoritative tone, “Uncle, this is the last time I’m going to ask you. Are you really not going?”

Xi Mo’s expression remained firm, “No, I’m not going.”

Going was absolutely out of the question, even if she asked him a hundred times.

Half an hour later.

A car slowly left the training base.

Zhouzhou’s little head peeked out from the back seat, her face brimming with uncontrollable excitement.

“Uncle, Uncle! How long until we get there?”

Xi Mo was in the front, driving, his lips tightly pressed together, not wanting to speak.

He said that even Zhouzhou asked him a hundred times, he wouldn’t go.

But who could have guessed she’d ask one more time than he was prepared for!

Someone please tell him why his sweet and obedient little niece was so persistent.

Recalling how Zhouzhou had whispered endlessly in his ear earlier, Xi Mo couldn’t help but feel a surge of pain.

His precious Zhouzhou had been spoiled rotten by Ye Lingfeng and Qin Lie!

Seeing that he wasn’t responding, Zhouzhou didn’t mind. She swung her little legs and returned to her seat, counting on her fingers, “When we get the money, I’ll give half to Uncle, and the rest can be split between my two dads.”

This way, he would get fifty percent–more than Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng combined.

Thinking of this, Xi Mo’s lips secretly curled into a smile, and his mood lightened.

Well, he wanted to deal with those who dared to harm Zhouzhou, too.

Whoever dared lay a hand on his niece would be sent straight to their ancestors!

Ye Lingfeng was dealing with the person who had taken the job, but their mission was to deal with the one who had placed the order.

After all, Xi Mo had Qin Billion, who could lure out the mastermind.

The person who placed the order had used a fake identity, so they still didn’t know who it was. But one thing was certain: this person was abroad.

Combining this with Wu Ping’s betrayal, they could more or less piece together the bigger picture.

It had to be someone targeting Fourth Bureau.

After all, Ye Lingfeng had caused quite a bit of trouble for his enemies over the years.

Originally, Xi Mo had intended to deal with this person later, but the target had hidden well, frequently changing IP addresses, making it difficult to locate them.

Perhaps, as Zhouzhou suggested, drawing the snake out of its hole wasn’t a bad idea.

Using a borrowed account, Xi Mo claimed they had caught the person, and the target immediately proposed a location for the exchange.

In a no man’s land.

“Zhouzhou, when we get there, you must follow my instructions and not act on your own,” Xi Mo warned.

He looked at Zhouzhou with a serious expression, worried she might underestimate their enemies. “These people are vicious criminals, and if I’m not mistaken, they likely have a grudge against Ye Lingfeng.”

“Anyone who’s forced Ye Lingfeng to take action isn’t someone simple. Don’t let your guard down, thinking they’re easy to deal with.”

“Otherwise, you’ll suffer. If something happens to you, I won’t be able to face your family, and I’ll have no face left to meet your mother.”

Hearing him mention her mother, An Ya, Zhouzhou instinctively touched the gold ingot on her head.

She held up three chubby fingers and said, “Uncle, I swear, I’ll follow your orders.”

“Good.” Xi Mo patted her head, then led her onto a plane heading toward the designated exchange site.

While on the plane, he glanced at Zhouzhou and shifted his body to send a message.

Suddenly, the phone of the person sitting behind them pinged.

Xi Mo’s fingers paused, and he turned around, immediately recognizing a familiar figure.

Zhouzhou also sensed something was off. Peeking her head around, she was surprised to see the person behind them, and her face lit up with joy, “Daddy!”

Having been discovered, Ye Lingfeng removed his sunglasses, looking displeased, “I knew you two wouldn’t behave.”

He turned to Xi Mo, his expression filled with discontent, “Is this how you’re taking care of Zhouzhou?”

“I just handed her over to you, and you’re already taking her into the lion’s den.”

And he thought Xi Mo was the unreliable one–now, who’s really the irresponsible one?

Xi Mo pressed his lips together, not offering an explanation. It was, after all, his decision.

“Daddy, don’t blame Uncle!” Zhouzhou anxiously chimed in.

Ye Lingfeng let out a cold huff, sitting down in a nearby seat.

He had rented the entire plane, including replacing the crew with their own people, so there was no risk of their conversation leaking.

Glancing at Zhouzhou, his face darkened as he said, “Hmph, fine. I won’t blame him–I’ll blame myself.”

“No, don’t blame Daddy either.” Zhouzhou hurriedly shook her head, unbuckled her seatbelt, and ran over to cling to his leg, acting cute, “Daddy, don’t be mad.”

Ye Lingfeng remained silent.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou grew even more anxious.

This was the first time her father had ignored her like this.

The little chubby girl finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and she was so distressed she was nearly in tears, continuously calling out “Daddy, Daddy.”

Ye Lingfeng’s heart ached for her, but worried that she would become too fearless in the future, he forced himself to maintain his stern expression.

Only when Zhouzhou’s tears started to fall did he finally sigh, lifting her into his arms and setting her back in her seat, buckling her in and gently stroking her head.

What could he do with a daughter who was such a handful? He’d just have to spoil her.

At this point, Xi Mo spoke up, “I’ve already made arrangements there, everything is in place. There’s no way Zhouzhou will be in danger.”

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng shot him a glance, squinting, “Are you sure? You don’t even know who the enemy is, do you?”

That was true.

Xi Mo looked up at him, “Do you?”

“What do you think?”

Recalling who it was, Xi Mo’s expression darkened with anger.

In truth, even if they didn’t act today, he would never let that person go.

Ye Lingfeng handed him a file.

Xi Mo flipped through it, his face turning grim, “It’s him?”

Harlo, one of the world’s top three drug lords–cruel enough to have killed his own parents. After fleeing to the no man’s land, he quickly gathered a group of followers and rose to his current power.

He was on the international most-wanted list.

“Didn’t you take him down three years ago?”

Ye Lingfeng shook his head, “No, I couldn’t kill him. I only blinded him. We were both severely injured, and he knew the no man’s land better than I did, so I lost him.”

After that, Harlo had gone quiet for years.

They had all assumed he had died in some forgotten corner.

But it turned out, he had been hiding in the shadows all along.

And now, he dared to target Zhouzhou!
