After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1073: I Agree

A person who can’t even speak, someone who has lost his tongue—how could he be of any help?

He couldn’t be expected to take on this task!

Thinking this, Qiu Guoliang suddenly felt a bit thankful that he couldn’t speak, otherwise, Zhao Xinghua would have surely dragged him into persuading Ye Lingfeng.

Qiu Guoliang understood Ye Lingfeng’s temperament very well, and he could see how much Ye Lingfeng cared about Zhouzhou. The little girl was his everything.

It was only after seeing him again that this became even clearer. Ye Lingfeng had never lived like a normal person before, it was only now that he had a semblance of humanity—and the only difference was Zhouzhou.

It was all thanks to her.

Anyone who dared to danger Zhouzhou a little bit was bound to feel the wrath of Ye Lingfeng.

Qiu Guoliang had no intention of getting involved in this kind of conflict, so he resigned himself to watching the situation unfold.

At that moment, Zhao Xinghua saw right through his thoughts and his face immediately soured, a deep resentment filling his gaze as he looked at Qiu Guoliang. Your journey continues on novelbuddy

"Old Qiu, you’re being too unreasonable," he muttered.

Zhao Xinghua had shown him something, and it was clear he had hoped Qiu Guoliang would help persuade Ye Lingfeng. But now, after seeing the situation, Qiu Guoliang had decided to step back and wash his hands of it.

How could he do that?

Qiu Guoliang, without any guilt, closed his eyes.

"Well, it’s not like I didn’t predict this outcome," he thought.

Zhao Xinghua was furious, snorting loudly, and stormed off.

Once Zhao Xinghua was gone, Qiu Guoliang opened his eyes and smiled lightly. He had summoned him, so it was his problem to solve. As for Qiu Guoliang, his job was simply to watch the show.

Zhouzhou, still unaware of the conversation between the two, came back to find Zhao Xinghua in a foul mood, his face dark and brooding.

Zhouzhou blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Uncle Zhao, what happened? Who bullied you?"

Zhao Xinghua grumbled, "Who else could it be? Who dares to bully me but your precious Master Uncle?"

Qiu Guoliang?

Zhouzhou’s face immediately hardened, and she said seriously, "That must be because you did something wrong, Uncle. Master Uncle is a good person—he would never be at fault. The one in the wrong is definitely you."

Zhao Xinghua was taken aback. He had expected her to side with him, but instead, he was caught off guard by her remark. His face darkened further.

With a scowl, he glared at Zhouzhou and snapped, "Can you be a little fair? Where’s your sense of objectivity? You didn’t even ask and just sided with him!"

Zhouzhou, equally displeased, retorted, "That’s nonsense! I’m an honest person, and I’m totally fair!"

Honest? If she was honest, then he might as well be kicked in the head!

Ye Lingfeng shot a brief glance at Zhao Xinghua, his expression calm as ever, before asking, "You want him to help speak on your behalf?"

Zhao Xinghua froze, realizing that Ye Lingfeng had figured out his thoughts. He cautiously studied Ye Lingfeng’s face, but Ye Lingfeng’s expression remained unreadable.

Zhao Xinghua, uncertain how to proceed without upsetting Ye Lingfeng, hesitated. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Lingfeng broke the silence. "Let’s go. Time for a meeting."

With that, he took Zhouzhou’s hand and started walking away.

Zhao Xinghua, still in shock, stood still for a moment, then hurried to catch up. As he did, his eyes flickered with excitement. Could this mean that Ye Lingfeng was willing to reconsider his stance?

That couldn’t be! It was too good to be true!

Minutes later, the team leaders from several groups had gathered, including Qiu Guoliang, who was reluctantly brought along.

Despite his inability to speak, Qiu Guoliang still feared that if Ye Lingfeng wanted to make an example of him, he could hide behind Zhao Xinghua. At least Zhao Xinghua might hold back a little out of consideration for him.

Seeing through his thoughts, Qiu Guoliang couldn’t help but feel a little speechless. He had never felt this way before—how did Director Zhao suddenly become so despicable? How could he come up with such underhanded ideas? He had really changed.

But there was no helping it; Zhao Xinghua was cornered.

In the past, if he had asked anyone to take on a task, they wouldn’t hesitate. They would have immediately started working on it. But now, with Zhouzhou being so young and having a guardian like Ye Lingfeng—whose temper was legendary—what could Zhao Xinghua do?

He was just a masochist in this situation!

At the front, Zhao Xinghua cleared his throat and moved to sit in the main seat. Before speaking, he subtly shifted his chair slightly towards Qiu Guoliang’s side. It was a small movement, but Ye Lingfeng noticed, raising an eyebrow before giving him a casual glance. Zhao Xinghua instantly deflated, realizing that his small gesture hadn’t gone unnoticed.

Qi Hua and the others could not help but snicker. Only Ye Lingfeng could make Zhao Xinghua feel this awkward.

Zhouzhou, as the leader of the Wealthy Alliance, had her own chair. She folded her little chubby arms on the table, trying her best to look serious, but her expression made her look more like a child sitting in class, awkward and out of place.

But of course, no one dared to say anything. Zhouzhou had a memory like an elephant, and if they teased her now, she would surely get her revenge later.

Suppressing a smile, Zhao Xinghua shifted his gaze and said, "The purpose of today’s meeting is to discuss Zhouzhou’s future training plan."

"The main debate is between two options. One is to continue her isolated training on the island, and the other is to let her participate in real missions to improve her abilities through actual combat."

"To save time, let’s vote first."

"Raise your hand if you agree to let Zhouzhou take part in real missions."

He said this quickly, not giving anyone a chance to react.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the hands went up, and Zhao Xinghua nodded in satisfaction.

However, after a few seconds, his expression faltered. He suddenly realized something was wrong and turned to look at Ye Lingfeng.

Ye Lingfeng’s hand was also raised.

Zhao Xinghua was stunned. After a long pause, he watched Ye Lingfeng’s hand remain raised, and he felt a sense of surprise building inside him. Could it be that Ye Lingfeng had actually changed his mind?

"Why?" Zhao Xinghua asked, his voice laced with confusion. "What made you change your mind so suddenly?"

Zhouzhou, too, looked puzzled. She stared at Ye Lingfeng, not understanding what had happened.

Ye Lingfeng pursed his lips and, after a long while, looked down at Zhouzhou. "This is the right decision for you."

As a father, Ye Lingfeng had always been reluctant to let Zhouzhou face danger. But he also knew her capabilities.

Objectively speaking, Zhao Xinghua’s suggestion was indeed the best.

So, after weighing it all, Ye Lingfeng finally relented.

"But," he added, raising his head and his tone turning serious, "I have conditions."

Zhao Xinghua’s eyes lit up with excitement. "Just say it!"

With a grin, he leaned forward. "Whatever conditions you have, I’ll agree to them!"
