After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 994

Chapter 994: Run!
Zhouzhou nodded. “Of course I know him, how could I not know money?”

Upon hearing this, the chief’s face showed a trace of confusion.

Zhouzhou rubbed her hands together and explained to them. After hearing her explanation, everyone was silent for a moment.

Could this be called the naivete of a newcomer? This was Hills they were talking about! And she was not scared at all—she was even thinking of using him to make money? How naive!

Shaking their heads, they turned to Jing Bai, thinking that as an adult, he should understand how serious this situation was.

However, to their surprise, Jing Bai said, “How about we take him, trade him for money, and I can buy a house in the city. Then, next time Zhouzhou comes to my place, she won’t have to cry from hunger.”

By then, even if he didn’t have anything to eat at home, there would always be places around that sold food.

Zhouzhou thought for a moment, tilting her head. “How about we do it together and split the money we make?”

“Sounds good.” Jing Bai nodded.

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.

Were they out of their minds? Shouldn’t they be thinking about how to escape right now? Instead, they were discussing how to split the money!

Who would even end up with the money in the first place?

For a moment, everyone looked at them as if they were fools.

Zhouzhou, on the other hand, glared back at them.

Who wouldn’t want to make money if they had the chance?

Both sides thought the other had gone crazy.

The chief sighed and shook his head, expressing concern. “I’ll call Director Zhao and tell him about this. He can send someone to protect you.”

When Jing Bai had just moved to this place, the chief had seen Zhao Xinghua come to visit. He knew that Jing Bai was from the Fourth Bureau. However, Jing Bai was only good with research projects and not fighting.

Against the second-ranked assassin in the world, no matter how skilled his poison was, it was no match for a bullet.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou blinked and said with confusion, “I’m already here. Uncle Zhao sent me here to protect brother.”

What!?

Everyone was stunned, their expressions instantly changing to one of disbelief.

Before Zhouzhou could say anything more, she suddenly sniffed the air, her eyes lighting up. She rushed to the door and opened it.

Ancestral Master had entered, carrying a large bag of hamburgers. He handed them to Zhouzhou. “Here.”

Zhouzhou’s stomach growled in response.

Forget about those nutrient solutions, they were useless to her!

Her stomach could only be filled with real food!

Zhouzhou quickly grabbed the bag and began devouring the burgers. She didn’t forget to take out a few talismans and place them on top of the hamburgers.

In the next moment, each of the spirits also found a hamburger in their hands.

Not only that, they could smell the aroma of the burgers and were immediately surprised.

Tentatively, they took a bite—and to their amazement, it was real food!

They couldn’t help but feel touched. How long had it been since they tasted human food?

Zhouzhou grabbed another one and handed it to Jing Bai while eating. “Big brother, you really need to eat properly. Real food is much tastier than nutrient solutions.”

Upon hearing this, Jing Bai hesitated before accepting it.

He watched Zhouzhou for a while, then, following her example, opened the wrapper and began eating, though he was a bit unpracticed at it.

Zhouzhou watched him and eagerly asked, “How is it?”

Jing Bai paused for a moment, then said, “It’s troublesome.”

“Huh?” Zhouzhou didn’t expect this answer. She blinked. “What’s troublesome about it?”

Jing Bai said seriously, “You have to chew a lot before you can swallow. It’s not as convenient as my nutrient solution.”

And it wasn’t as healthy either.

“The nutrition inside this is too little, and you eat so much meat in it. Eating this will stunt your growth.”

As he spoke, he carefully observed Zhouzhou’s height and a knowing look flashed in his eyes.

Without even asking, he knew exactly what was going through his mind.

Zhouzhou pouted angrily. “I don’t eat hamburgers often!”

She only ate them occasionally!

Jing Bai thought for a moment. “In that case, maybe the food you eat isn’t healthy either. How about you drink this nutrient solution with me? I can add some ingredients that will help you grow taller.”

“No need.” Zhouzhou snorted and refused. “I can grow tall without medicine!”

Her parents were tall, so scientifically, there was no reason for her to be short!

She was just gathering energy, and besides, she had already started growing taller. Her dad said that this would make her grow fast.

She firmly believed that she would become the best Zhouzhou!

Jing Bai didn’t say anything further.

He knew if he told her the truth, she’d get angry again.

Although he didn’t understand why.

But he knew one thing for sure—she couldn’t accept the truth.

Especially the fact that she would never grow taller than seven meters.

Shaking his head, Jing Bai didn’t say anything more.

He looked down at the burger in his hand, and it smelled quite good.

Could it be that she didn’t want to eat his nutrient solution because it didn’t taste good? Was that why she refused?

It looked like next time, he’d need to research a chicken-flavored one.

After making up his mind, Jing Bai slowly began eating the burger.

Zhouzhou ignored him and ate more than ten hamburgers before finally stopping.

She rubbed her slightly swollen belly and couldn’t help but smile. Now, this felt right.

After finishing the meal, Zhouzhou yawned and asked, “Big brother, where do I sleep?”

Jing Bai took her to the guest room. Zhouzhou looked around, and when she saw the bed, she instantly relaxed.

She was afraid he might have prepared a strange place to sleep.

Seeing her expression, Jing Bai probably guessed what she was thinking and couldn’t help but smile.

As they were about to sleep, the spirits grew anxious.

“Sir, what should we do? I feel like Hills might strike tonight.”

They had also encountered Hills before. He didn’t delay things; when he acted, he acted quickly.

Besides, Jing Bai might be great with research, but when it came to a real fight, he had no advantage.

If he had waited until now, it was because he had patience, but tonight, he would surely make his move.

Thinking of this, the spirits glanced at the dark room, their hearts sinking.

They could no longer rely on Zhouzhou and Jing Bai. There was no possibility of them having any impact.

And as for them, they were already dead and couldn’t do anything about it.

After some thought, someone suggested, “If things really go south, we might as well continue pretending to be ghosts and scare him away.”

Upon hearing this, someone immediately replied, “No need to pretend, we are ghosts.”

That’s true.

“Ah, whatever, you get what I mean. Let’s just scare him off. It’s better than letting these two die.”

The others nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a weak voice asked, “But do you think Hills will actually be scared by that?”

Everyone fell silent.

A second-ranked assassin in the world—would he be afraid of ghosts? They already knew the answer.

The chief frowned tightly, pondering what Zhouzhou’s words meant.

If she really was sent by Zhao Xinghua…

Before he could finish his thought, he suddenly looked toward the window.

There, a shadow silently slipped inside.

Hills… he was here!
