HPDBC Chapter 762 Uncle Flees
Chapter 762 Uncle Flees
This sudden change took everyone by surprise.
Commander was momentarily stunned and turned to the others, asking, "What's she talking about?"
He had anticipated Zhouzhou crying; after all, she was still a child, and crying a few times after getting hurt was not unexpected. But what was she shouting about? Fortune? What's that? What is Fortune Hair?
Xi Mo's eyelids twitched, and a sense of unease surged within him. He spoke up, "Fortune Hair."
This time, Commander understood but was confused, "What is Fortune Hair?"
Xi Mo pointed at Zhouzhou's hair, feeling a bit of a headache. This was the little Chubby Girl's lifeline.
Hearing footsteps outside the door, Xi Mo's expression changed. He quickly said, "I have something urgent, I'm leaving."
With that, he jumped out of the window with astonishing speed, leaving the others unable to react in time.
As he touched the ground, the door was pushed open.
Zhouzhou held her shortened Fortune Hair with one hand and surveyed the room angrily, demanding, "Who did this? Step forward!"
Her Fortune Hair! She had nurtured it for so long!
The loss of Fortune Hair was considered very unlucky!
Seeing the angry expression on the little girl's face, the others suddenly understood why Xi Mo had fled so quickly.
"Is it you?" Zhouzhou's gaze fell on Commander, who was closest to the computer.
Commander immediately shook his head, betraying without hesitation, "It wasn't me. It was your uncle. He said you need to be properly tested, so he deliberately changed the traps halfway."
"That's right, that's right." Dou Qiang and the others quickly nodded in agreement.
Although they didn't know the special significance of Fortune Hair, Zhouzhou's current expression made it clear that it was very important to her.
They certainly weren't going to take the fall for Captain Xi.
After all, getting hit by those little fists must be quite painful. Anyone who had experienced it would know.@@@@
Hearing this, Zhouzhou was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "Impossible, my uncle wouldn't harm me."
"Harm you? How could that be?" Commander said, "Weren't you just complaining that the traps weren't stimulating enough? Your uncle is just trying to be tough on you."
No way they were taking the blame for this!
He spoke with such sincerity that the others also appeared truthful.
Zhouzhou touched her Fortune Hair and then her heart, sitting on the ground and patting her thighs as she cried, "Wuwuwu, why is my fate so bitter?"
Her Fortune Hair was broken by her uncle--such a double blow.
But he dared not voice this thought, fearing it might lead to losing his little niece.
Quickly coming up with an idea, he said, "I'll make it up to you, but I'm not as rich as your dad. I only have this, is it okay?"
With that, he pulled out a palm-sized piece of jade from his pocket.
The jade was rich in color, lush and green, and even just looking at it, one could feel the intense spiritual energy within.
Zhouzhou's eyes immediately lit up, and she almost drooled. She nodded vigorously, "That's enough, that's enough!"
This was top-quality jade.
She cradled it in her hands, reluctant to let go.
After receiving the jade, she felt the spiritual energy even more abundant. She nuzzled it against her face, closing her eyes contentedly.
So comfortable.
The next moment, she suddenly felt a sting in her wound. Zhouzhou opened her eyes immediately, put the jade aside, and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Xi Mo asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"This jade..." Zhouzhou examined it closely, somewhat uncertain, "It seems to have a bit of malicious energy, but also some Merits Light."
The Merits Light was masking the malicious energy, which is why she hadn't noticed it before.
But how could the jade have both these things?
So strange.
Hearing this, Xi Mo wasn't very clear on the details but had heard Zhouzhou mention "Merits Light" before, so he had some understanding.
Seeing Zhouzhou's frown, he turned to Commander and signaled for Dou Qiang and the others to leave.
Commander didn't understand but waved them out. He and the Wealthy Group members stayed behind.
Dou Qiang and the others were not outsiders, but since they didn't have much experience with such matters, it was better not to let them know.
As for Skinny Monkey and the others, they would be Zhouzhou's future teammates, so there was no need to hide anything from them.
"Zhouzhou, explain what's going on."
"I don't know either," Zhouzhou shook her head, looking troubled. "It seems that without my Fortune Hair, I've become dumb."
"My head worth a billion. How much is the Fortune Hair that fell worth?"
Xi Mo: "......"
Got it, got it. Starting today, he's working to repay this debt!
