After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 906

Chapter 906: Qin Ren Joins
Qin Ren adjusted his glasses, letting out a sigh of relief while also feeling a bit amused. He had really overthought things. How could his mother possibly refuse a chance for him to protect Zhouzhou?

Qin You looked at him with a hint of disapproval, frowning as he asked, “Why haven’t you signed the contract? What if they change their minds and no longer want you? Opportunities like this don’t come around again, and a lot can happen in just one night.”

Qin Ren: “…”

This was also his biological father.

Ye Lingfeng hadn’t expected him to say that either. He turned to whisper to Qin Lie, “Are you sure your nephew isn’t some kind of promotional deal?”

He couldn’t believe it. This didn’t seem like the way a parent would act regarding their son. If their son was taking on such dangerous work, shouldn’t they be trying to stop him?

Qin Lie appeared unfazed, as if he had anticipated their reactions. He calmly said, “In our family, grass can never compare to flowers.”

Zhouzhou jumped off her chair and excitedly climbed onto Qin You’s lap, grabbing Kang Huixian’s hand, and exclaimed, “Auntie, Uncle, you agree now?”

“Of course.” Kang Huixian gently stroked Zhouzhou’s smooth little face, not hesitating to “sell out” her son, saying, “In the future, any dirty or dangerous work, that’s all on your big brother. He’s the older brother; he should be the one stepping up.”

Zhouzhou shook her little head, saying, “When there are missions, I will protect my big brother! I want to stand in front of him!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Ren’s gaze softened.

Qin You and Kang Huixian hugged Zhouzhou and gave her a big kiss. How could they not want to do everything to protect such a warm-hearted little girl?

Ye Lingfeng quietly observed from the side, waiting for their emotional moment to pass before speaking up, “He probably won’t be going on missions with you.”

Huh?

Zhouzhou looked confused.

Qin Ren turned to him as well.

Ye Lingfeng explained, “His main work location is in the lab, doing research projects for us to develop weapons. You think he can just go out on missions without any martial arts skills and expect to come back alive?”

He couldn’t. Fieldwork had quite high requirements for physical capability.

Qin Ren furrowed his brows. He wanted to be on the front lines with Zhouzhou and said, “I can learn martial arts.”

Ye Lingfeng shook his head. “There’s not enough time. Do you think everyone can be like me?”

At over twenty years old, it wasn’t easy to train to master martial arts. He was not bragging; he hadn’t met a second person like himself. Martial arts had to be practiced from a young age. Even if he started learning now, it would only be enough for self-defense.

His words stung a little, but they were the truth.

Ye Lingfeng looked at him and said, “You can think about it some more. No need to rush into a decision.”

Zhouzhou felt a little down, having thought she would be able to be with her big brother. But it was okay. She grabbed his hand and said, “Big brother is so amazing; he’ll definitely make powerful weapons. When that day comes, I can take them on missions, and I’ll be even more awesome!”

“That’s big brother protecting me too.”

Qin Ren thought about it and agreed. If his martial arts skills were lacking, forcing himself to tag along would only hold them back. Putting emotions aside, he quickly made the most rational decision, “Alright, let’s go with this. When do we sign the contract?”

Ye Lingfeng looked at Qin You and Kang Huixian. “Have you both thought this through? Although he won’t be on the front lines, he’ll still face dangers. For example, one of his colleagues is currently on the assassination list’s top ten.”

If they can’t have it, they’ll destroy it. Other countries wouldn’t want to see Hua Country becoming more prosperous.

Upon hearing this, Qin You and Kang Huixian’s pupils shrank in surprise as they fell silent for a few seconds. They turned to Qin Ren, asking seriously, “Have you thought this through?”

Qin Ren nodded firmly.

Whether in the lab or elsewhere, it didn’t matter. As long as he could use his abilities to help Zhouzhou, that was enough.

“Alright.” Ye Lingfeng nodded and pulled out a few documents from somewhere, handing one each to Qin You and Kang Huixian. “This is a confidentiality agreement. Take a look; just you two need to know about this. Once you leave this door, no one else in your family can know.”

As Qin You and Kang Huixian read the documents, their surprise grew. Ye Lingfeng had mentioned that it was a confidential unit, but they hadn’t expected it to be this serious. It was even dangerous.

They had to be ready for the possibility that their son might sacrifice himself for the country. The last document Qin Ren was to sign was a death contract.

Kang Huixian looked at it and then at Zhouzhou, her expression filled with concern. “Is Zhouzhou also in such danger?”

She was only a few years old, just a first grader. What had she gone through to get this far?

Thinking about it made Kang Huixian sad, and Qin You felt uneasy as well. Suddenly, they understood what Qin Lie had been making a fuss about a few days ago; it must have been about this matter.

Switching places, they wouldn’t necessarily remain calm if it were their own child.

Zhouzhou, however, didn’t care. She grinned widely and said, “It’s okay; I’m very powerful!”

As she spoke, she waved her little fist.

“And, doing this helps me earn good deeds faster!”

Helping elders cross cross the street could also earn some, but even if she helped ten people at a time, it wouldn’t change the fact that she needed money!

Being able to be with Ye Lingfeng made her feel pretty good.

The little girl’s face was full of innocent joy, clearly delighted.

Seeing their concern, Ye Lingfeng said, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect her.”

His affection for Zhouzhou was no less than any of them.

After a moment of contemplation, they looked at Qin Lie. Since he had already agreed, that meant he also consented.

Realizing this, they didn’t hesitate any further and signed their names. After signing, they turned to Qin Ren and said, “You need to pay attention to your safety too.”

“I will.”

Qin Ren nodded.

Seeing that they had all signed, Zhouzhou happily threw herself into Qin Ren’s arms, her excitement evident.

After a while, Grandma Qin knocked on the door. Seeing everyone inside, she asked curiously, “What’s going on in here?”

As she spoke, she noticed the papers in front of them and stepped forward to take a look.

Qin Lie gave Zhouzhou a meaningful glance.

Immediately, Zhouzhou ran over, hugging Grandma Qin’s leg and sweetly asking, “Grandma, what are we having for dinner? I’m so hungry; my stomach feels like it’s going to collapse!”

Upon hearing this, Grandma Qin forgot her earlier curiosity, taking Zhouzhou out.

“It’s all your favorites. I’ve made it already. Let’s see what you like, and if it’s not enough, we can make more.”

“Mm, mm, Grandma is the best!” Zhouzhou took her hand and kept showering her with compliments.

Grandma Qin completely forgot about the earlier matter.

Until later that night, just before bed, she suddenly said, “I saw A’Lie and the others had some papers on their table today when I was in the study. When I walked in, A’You even turned the papers over so I wouldn’t see.”

“Do you think they’re up to something bad behind our backs?”

Hearing this, Grandpa Qin paused for a moment in reading his newspaper.

He quickly returned to his usual composure, saying, “It’s nothing. It’s just a document I gave them today to review.”

Oh, I see.

Grandma Qin wasn’t interested in company matters, so after washing her face, she went to sleep.

However, Grandpa Qin found it hard to fall asleep.

It seemed that his eldest grandson had joined in.

That’s good; at least he wouldn’t have to worry too much about his granddaughter’s safety anymore.
