After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 875

Chapter 875: The Honest Person is Very Angry!
Chen Tuo was startled.

He was just murmuring to himself, not expecting that Zhouzhou would overhear him. Wasn’t she inside keeping his boss company?

Wan Leng looked at him with an expression that was hard to explain; it was his fault for having such a loud voice.

Zhouzhou was silent, staring at him, and Chen Tuo began to feel a bit nervous. In the past, Zhouzhou was always crying and laughing, a lively little girl, but now with her serious face and an aura that seemed to radiate killing intent, she bore quite a resemblance to their boss. Especially her eyes, when they turned cold, were truly intimidating.

Chen Tuo felt a bit uneasy.

Finally, unable to withstand her gaze, he said, “They are a gang of international smugglers, burning, killing, and looting, with no evil act they haven’t committed. Besides their own power, they’ve bribed many locals.”

This was also the reason why they couldn’t catch them. After all, they were in someone else’s territory, and one careless move could spark an international dispute, which was quite troublesome, so they had to be cautious. Even if Ye Lingfeng had a free spirit, sometimes he had to consider the bigger picture.

This case wasn’t originally theirs; it was just transferred to them. Their Dragon Group had a 100% success rate on missions, but this one had broken that record.

“If it weren’t for their cunning, escaping into the rainforest, and our unfortunate encounter with the poisonous snake, it wouldn’t have ended up like this,” Chen Tuo said through clenched teeth, feeling quite frustrated.

The rainforest was really not their strong suit; the natural environment limited them too much. But he wasn’t the kind of person to shirk responsibility. They didn’t have the privilege of choosing the environment for their missions. So he couldn’t say this to anyone else, which made him feel even more stifled.

Zhouzhou listened thoughtfully.

Nearby, Qin Lie noticed her expression, furrowed his brow, and held her hand a bit tighter. He squatted down, pinched her face to make her look directly at him, and said firmly, “You can’t go.”

Even Ye Lingfeng had suffered; how could she handle it as a little girl?

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes flickered. Then she opened her round eyes, looking very innocent as she threw herself onto him, hugging his neck and saying in a cute voice, “I won’t go; I’ll just guard Sharp Tongue Daddy right here.”

Qin Lie was unmoved, pulling her out of his embrace. He carefully scrutinized her expression, not letting her get away with it.

Chen Tuo and the others hurriedly chimed in, “Yes, Zhouzhou, you mustn’t act recklessly. If something happens to you, boss would go crazy.”

“Mm-hmm, I really won’t go; I swear,” Zhouzhou replied earnestly, raising three little chubby fingers.

Having sworn, surely they could trust her now.

With that, she dashed into the ward, turning her back on them, sitting next to Ye Lingfeng and holding his hand.

Qin Lie watched her retreating figure, still frowning.

After a moment, he turned to Chen Tuo and the others, instructing, “Keep an eye on Zhouzhou.”

Hearing this, Chen Tuo was a bit surprised, glancing inside and then back at Qin Lie, lowering his voice to ask, “Is Zhouzhou really going to go?”

Qin Lie nodded. “She cares about Ye Lingfeng.”

Despite her frequent teasing of Ye Lingfeng, their playful banter masked how much she truly valued him. After such a significant event, it was unsurprising that Zhouzhou would respond this way.

“She’s fiercely protective.”

Chen Tuo scratched his head, contemplating. “No worries; Garen is currently abroad or still in the rainforest, far away. Even if Zhouzhou wanted to go, she wouldn’t be able to.”

This was a silver lining that they could cling to.

Qin Lie sighed softly. He only hoped Ye Lingfeng would wake up soon; otherwise, his daughter would probably turn the sky upside down.

However, the next day, Ye Lingfeng still hadn’t awakened.

Zhouzhou checked his pulse, and the hospital did tests. All the diagnosis results were fine; it was just that his body had been poisoned, which led to his prolonged slumber. Once his body was healed, he would naturally wake up.

On the third day, he remained unconscious.

Zhouzhou had reached the time to go to school.

Qin Lie looked at her but didn’t mention it. Suddenly, Zhouzhou’s phone rang; it was Huo Ji’an calling.

As soon as she picked up, Huo Ji’an’s voice came through loudly: “Chubby Girl, why aren’t you at school yet?”

The loudness caught everyone’s attention, including Qin Lie.

Chen Tuo suggested, “Zhouzhou, why don’t you go to school? You can come back to see the boss after class.”

“No way,” Zhouzhou sulked, refusing to let go of Ye Lingfeng’s hand.

Chen Tuo continued to persuade her, “Boss is still unconscious. There’s no point in you being here. Don’t worry; as soon as he wakes up, I’ll let you know right away, okay?”

Zhouzhou fell silent, showing signs of relent.

Wen Jing and the others also encouraged her, not wanting the little girl to worry too much.

She hadn’t been eating well and looked even thinner than before. If boss woke up and saw her like this, he’d surely be heartbroken.

Using Ye Lingfeng as leverage, Zhouzhou finally compromised, “Alright then.”

Qin Lie watched her, standing up to say, “Let’s go; I’ll take you to school.”

“Mm-hmm.” Zhouzhou nodded her little head, holding his hand, turning back three times as they walked.

When they arrived at school, Zhouzhou waved goodbye to Qin Lie. “Bye, Daddy.”

Unexpectedly, Qin Lie looked at her and said, “I’m not leaving.”

“Huh?” Zhouzhou tilted her little head in confusion, “Is Daddy also going to school?”

“Grandma said you have to go to kindergarten.”

Upon hearing this, little chubby girl couldn’t help but smile widely, looking teasing.

But Qin Lie didn’t smile; he silently followed her inside.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou’s smile faded, and she pouted a bit, feeling dejected.

When they reached the classroom, Zhouzhou finally realized that Qin Lie really was going to sit in the last row of the classroom.

Huo Ji’an glanced at him and quietly leaned toward Zhouzhou, whispering, “Chubby Girl, why is your dad sitting there?”

“He’s watching me,” Zhouzhou whispered back.

“Huh?” Huo Ji’an looked puzzled, “Why does he want to watch you? Are you planning to do something bad?”

Zhouzhou shook her head; why would she do something bad? She was an honest person.

Then he remembered something and asked, “Why did you let me call you earlier?”

That phone call was something Zhouzhou had asked him to make. She didn’t explain why, but seeing how anxious she was, he just complied.

Now, she was at school, but her dad had come too.

“What’s going on here?”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately signaled him to keep quiet about it.

Daddy was very clever.

Just like he must have guessed that she wanted to help Sharp Tongue Daddy take revenge.

Even the vow she made, he wouldn’t believe it.

No, she had to think of a way to sneak out!

She had to help Sharp Tongue Daddy get his revenge.

She was indeed an honest person, but don’t mess with an honest person!
