After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 987

Chapter 987: Fortune Hair Is Gone
When Zhao Xinghua thought about how Jing Bai helped others, he couldn’t help but shudder. It was terrifying—too terrifying. He shook his head in frustration, “Forget it, forget it. It’s not worth the trouble.”

Right now, the only person who could still earn Jing Bai’s approval and not get quietly killed by him was very few. After considering it, Zhao Xinghua sighed, “Looks like the only person we can send is Qin Ren.”

He was the only other option besides Zhouzhou.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou frowned and said, “But my Big Brother doesn’t know martial arts.”

That was indeed a problem. Zhao Xinghua thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll send someone to follow them from a distance. If something happens, we’ll go help them.”

But if there were indeed assassins after Jing Bai, it might be too late to rescue him in time.

Zhouzhou patted her little tummy and sighed, “Hmph, in the end, it’ll still depend on me.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xinghua couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re willing to go?”

“Not willing.” Zhouzhou shook her head, shrugged her shoulders in a mature manner, and said, “But I have no choice. If I don’t go, everything will fall apart!”

Zhao Xinghua looked at her and couldn’t help but smile a little.

Ye Lingfeng, on the other hand, furrowed his brows and asked, “Do you know who sent the assassins after Jing Bai?”

“Hmm, an old acquaintance. Hills.”

“It’s him?”

Zhouzhou had never heard of this name and curiously asked, “Dad, do you know him?”

Ye Lingfeng nodded, “He’s the second-ranked assassin.”

Second?

“I remember Uncle Wan is the number one?”

“Correct,” Ye Lingfeng nodded, already formulating a plan in his mind.

How long were they going to passively guard Jing Bai? This was a problem.

Avoiding trouble was not his style; the best defense was offense.

With that thought in mind, he sent a message to Wan Leng, asking him to take care of Hills.

Just as he was sending the message, his arm was suddenly grabbed. Looking down, he met Zhouzhou’s sparkling eyes.

Zhouzhou asked, “Dad, is Hills on the bounty list?”

Seeing her thinking, Ye Lingfeng immediately knew what she was planning.

Amused, he tapped her on the head and nodded, “Yes, he’s ranked eighth.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately became excited. “Let me do it! Let me do it!”

He’s ranked one spot ahead of Alva! The bounty must be higher!

Seeing her like this, Ye Lingfeng couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This little chubby girl only thinks about money!

Zhao Xinghua, however, thought this was a good idea. “Anyway, Zhouzhou will be going to protect Jing Bai soon. She will come into contact with Hills. It’s just a matter of time Why not let her earn the money?”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou gave him a big thumbs-up.

She likes Uncle Zhao! Uncle Zhao knows how to talk!

Zhao Xinghua winked at her, a bit cheeky.

Ye Lingfeng rolled his eyes. He was clearly trying to take advantage of Zhouzhou.

But Zhao Xinghua was right—Zhouzhou would inevitably come into contact with Hills.

Well, whatever.

He looked at Zhouzhou, pondered for a moment, and said, “It’s fine, but…”

His gaze fell on Zhouzhou’s Fortune Hair, and he continued, “Zhouzhou, your hairstyle needs to change. In missions, leaving obvious traits is a big taboo.”

Zhouzhou had liked her Fortune Hair, and since Ye Lingfeng protected her, she had kept it. But now, with Zhouzhou participating in more missions, those people would become increasingly familiar with her.

Her hairstyle was too noticeable.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately hugged her head, pouted, and teared up, clearly unwilling.

Zhao Xinghua added, “That’s right. You can’t keep it this way.”

“Otherwise, those who want to find you will have it much easier. And then the people around you will be at risk.”

Zhouzhou’s heart tightened. “Grandpa, grandma, and dad will also be in danger?”

“Of course,” Zhao Xinghua nodded. “Otherwise, do you think Lingfeng became a war god in one leap? No one could do anything to him. It’s because, back then, he didn’t know you were around, and his enemies didn’t know either. So there was no one who could threaten him. They could only find ways to deal with him.”

“And your dad is powerful. They couldn’t do anything, so they could only hate him in their hearts.”

This was why they were initially worried that Zhouzhou might become Ye Lingfeng’s weakness.

Fortunately, Zhouzhou was also strong. If anyone tried to use her to control Ye Lingfeng, she would simply turn around and trade them for money.

But the Qin family was different.

There were too many of them.

Not everyone knew martial arts.

These factors all had to be taken into consideration.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou also understood the seriousness of the situation.

She touched her Fortune Hair, and although she was reluctant, she finally nodded. “Okay.”

No matter how important Fortune Hair was, it would always be inferior to her family.

Seeing how easily she agreed, Ye Lingfeng felt uncomfortable.

Hmph, biased little chubby girl.

For safety’s sake, Ye Lingfeng still arranged for Wan Leng to secretly protect them, in case of unexpected events.

But he felt that the most dangerous one was still Jing Bai himself.

Zhouzhou had just argued with him; he didn’t know what kind of mess they’d make together.

Forget it. Let’s just go and see first.

“Come on, I’ll change your hairstyle first,” Ye Lingfeng said.

Zhouzhou pouted, took out a mirror to take a final look, gritted her teeth, stomped her feet like she had made up her mind, closed her eyes, and said, “Dad, I’m ready!”

She looked like a brave soldier about to face a difficult battle.

Xi Mo couldn’t help but laugh at her.

Ye Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, stretched out his hand, and began undoing Zhouzhou’s Fortune Hair.

With each strand he undid, Zhouzhou shuddered as if he was taking off her flesh.

He was a little speechless, but he quickened the pace, combed her hair, and tied two small braids.

“All done.”

But when he let go, Zhouzhou looked at herself and immediately frowned, looking dejected. “I feel like my fortune is gone too.”

Saying that, the little chubby girl clutched her chest as if her heart was in pain.

So sad.

While holding her chest, she trembled and extended a hand, “Dad, is this a work-related injury?”

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng slapped her hand, not very pleased. “No, it’s not!”

She immediately changed her mind when she heard that Qin Lie might be in danger! Now she was crying for compensation? Too late!

Now, Zhouzhou’s heart hurt even more. She sat down on the ground, hugging the gravestone, and cried out, “Wuwuwu, mom, my life is so hard.”

It’s just a mission! Why did they have to touch her Fortune Hair?

What did her Fortune Hair ever do wrong!

So unfair.

Seeing her like this, Xi Mo couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Sure enough, being with Zhouzhou was always so much fun.

Ye Lingfeng glanced at him. “Do you have anything else?”

Xi Mo’s face immediately turned serious, and he looked expressionless.

It was so fun being with Zhouzhou, but being with her father was so annoyed!
