After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 940

Chapter 940: Don’t Scare Me, I’m Super Fierce
As soon as the words left her mouth, Qin Xu burst out laughing, recalling Zhouzhou’s expression when she first met Qin Ren. At that time, she was always worried about being sliced into pieces.

However, soon the smile on his face disappeared. Back then, it was just that Qin Ren’s scientific aura clashed with Zhouzhou’s metaphysical vibes, leading to her apprehension. But this time, they were dealing with Jing Bai. He really would do that.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled Zhouzhou aside and cautioned her, “You must not show him that you can see ghosts.” People might not believe in the supernatural, but they couldn’t help but be curious about it, especially those involved in scientific research.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou looked troubled. Qin Xu felt a pang of unease in his heart and asked, “You didn’t let it slip, did you?” Zhouzhou nodded innocently and boldly replied, “Uncle, didn’t you say that brother can talk to the dead? I thought he could see spirits too, so I talked to one!”

At this, Qin Xu slapped his forehead in despair. The worst-case scenario had indeed come true. He couldn’t bear to scold Zhouzhou, so he glared at his son instead. “Why didn’t you stop Zhouzhou?”

Qin Dong replied calmly, “Zhouzhou was too quick with her words; I didn’t have time to react.”

Zhouzhou was speechless. Was it her fault? She had always thought that brother was on her side. Who would’ve guessed that in the end, he was still an adversary!

With a worried little face, she said, “What should I do? Should I beat him up? Maybe that’ll make him stop bothering me.”

Qin Xu sighed, speaking in a voice only they could hear, “He’s one of your Fourth Bureau people.”

“Oh?” Zhouzhou was taken aback. “He is too?” She was puzzled about why she had never met him.

Of course, she hadn’t met him; the island where the Fourth Bureau was located was mainly for physical training, while the research institute was in Jing City. Zhouzhou had never been there, and she wasn’t present the last time Qin Ren had an exam, so she naturally had no idea.

Worry clouded her mind. If it were someone else, Qin Xu could have asked Zhao Xinghua to intervene. But this was Jing Bai! He had only interacted with various mechanical instruments since childhood, and those who conducted human experiments wouldn’t teach him about emotions, especially not about submission. If Zhao Xinghua said too much, Jing Bai might just pin him on the operating table first.

In his mind, there were no distinctions between leaders and colleagues; no one could control him.

With a headache from all this, Qin Xu said, “You should stay away from him from now on.” That was the only solution left. He could only hope Zhouzhou wouldn’t get into trouble; otherwise, the Qin family would be in chaos.

Qin Ren noticed Jing Bai’s unusual behavior as well. He had spent a few days with him, and even though they hadn’t exchanged many words, it didn’t prevent him from understanding Jing Bai to a certain extent. Jing Bai had autism; he wouldn’t notice anyone speaking to him. In his world, there were only the things he wanted to research.

And now, in his world, there was only Zhouzhou.

So, did he want to research Zhouzhou?

Qin Ren felt a heavy weight in his heart. He stepped forward to block Jing Bai’s view, forcibly breaking the connection between him and Zhouzhou, pulling him out of that world.

Jing Bai, interrupted, visibly frowned in displeasure. His bloodstained scalpel was aimed at Qin Ren.

Qin Ren glanced at it, then firmly grabbed his wrist, locking eyes with him as he said, “Zhouzhou is a person, not a lab rat. She cannot be touched.”

The two exchanged calm yet charged gazes, sparks flying between them, prompting bystanders to instinctively take a few steps back.

Qin Ren continued, “Do you want Zhouzhou to end up like you did back then?”

Both had been captured and turned into lab rats for experimentation, and Qin Ren understood Jing Bai’s mindset all too well.

Hearing this, Jing Bai furrowed his brows. He looked at Zhouzhou, then at himself, and slowly said, “She, I, are not the same.”

They were different. Back then, he had been like a lab rat; even though he was human, he lacked thoughts. But Zhouzhou could run and jump; she was lively.

Qin Ren sighed with relief. “Exactly, you’re not the same, so you can’t take her to your operating table.”

“If you want to know something, you can discuss it with her. You can consider her your companion.”

Jing Bai frowned again at the word “companion.” He had never had one. He didn’t need companions; none could compare to him, except Qin Ren. He was currently the only one who could solve his puzzles.

Could this little chubby girl do that too?

Zhouzhou, who didn’t understand what they were talking about, realized they were discussing her. After some thought, she said, “Uncle, I’ve grown up! I’m not scared anymore.”

Before Qin Ren could react, she ran towards him, tilting her little head to look at Jing Bai, trying to take the scalpel from him. Speaking to him as if coaxing a child, she said, “Big brother, you can’t hurt my older brother!”

“And you can’t bully me either.”

Zhouzhou puffed out her little belly, seriously warning, “I’m very fierce and not easy to mess with.”

Jing Bai stared at her silently, pondering something. Qin Ren held Zhouzhou’s hand, watching Jing Bai’s expression.

After a while, Jing Bai slowly averted his gaze and turned to leave, heading to analyze the old man’s blood.

But his eyes clearly indicated that he hadn’t given up.

Qin Ren frowned, looking at Zhouzhou with a hint of helplessness. He could understand Jing Bai’s desire to study Zhouzhou, but their research approaches were fundamentally different. As Ye Lingfeng had said, Jing Bai was indeed dangerous.

He couldn’t help but pinch Zhouzhou’s “Fortune Hair,” saying, “Why do you always attract such strange people?”

Zhouzhou tilted her head in confusion. “What strange people?”

Aren’t people just people?

In Zhouzhou’s eyes, there were only good people and bad people, judged by their appearances.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Qin Ren didn’t know what to say. He shook his head. “It’s nothing.”

Strange indeed.

Zhouzhou stared at him for a while before shifting her gaze away.

Her older brother was the one who was strange, hmph.

She remembered that he had said she wasn’t scientific.

But she clearly was!

Soon, the test results came out.

A large amount of propofol was found in the old man’s blood, which could cause accelerated heart rhythms, leading to failure.

From the list of medications used during the surgery, they found that ingredient as well.

Upon hearing this, the doctor was stunned.

At that moment, the old man’s son and daughter-in-law returned and immediately exclaimed, “See? I knew the hospital was responsible for my dad’s death!”

“You have to take responsibility for this; otherwise, I won’t let your hospital operate anymore!”

As he spoke, he pointed to the person behind him carrying a camera, his face filled with smugness. “This is a reporter; they will expose all the unethical things you’ve done!”
