Chapter 155 Caught You by the Handle
In the next moment, Wen Jing shook her head slightly, finding it a bit amusing. It turns out she was mistaken, she thought it couldn't be possible.
Her sister-in-law had already died in difficult childbirth, losing both her and the baby's lives. How could she possibly see any blood relationship between her eldest brother and Zhouzhou?
It was probably because she had been looking at Chen Tuo too much earlier, which irritated her eyes and caused her to see things incorrectly.
Thinking of this, she shook her head and smiled as she nodded, "Yeah, he wanted it himself, so of course he should try it himself."
"That's right," Zhouzhou nodded her little head, completely unaware of what was happening, with her hands on her chubby waist she said, "I'm not a swindler, you know. After taking his money, I will definitely make the antidote properly."
She earned money with principles too!
Looking at her like this, Ye Lingfeng pinched the little bun on her head and flicked it lightly, watching the little bun sway and chuckled lightly, "Whether the antidote works or not, you can ask Wen Jing."
She could see things that were obvious at a glance, yet she still teased Chen Tuo.
He couldn't quite understand her twisted sense of humor, and Ye Lingfeng felt a little helpless.
At the mention, Zhouzhou blinked and looked at Wen Jing.
Wen Jing didn't deny it either. She held Zhouzhou's hand and walked towards the alchemy room, saying, "Let's go, onto the next one."
The door closed quickly, and Ancestral Master quietly withdrew his hand.
Luckily, he acted quickly.
But he had to extort Qin Lie properly later. If it weren't for him, he would have lost his precious little daughter today.
With his legs crossed, he thought about how much money he should ask for. Several tens of billions wouldn't be too much, right?
On the other hand, Ye Lingfeng was about to go back to his room when he suddenly saw Chen Tuo walking in quickly from outside, his face serious. His footsteps paused, "What happened?"
Chen Tuo glanced at the direction of the alchemy room, lowered his voice and said, "Boss, someone has issued a task, offering one billion to buy your life."
Such things were not uncommon, and this price was even considered the lowest among the list of people who wanted to kill him.
Normally, Chen Tuo wouldn't tell him about such matters.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Lingfeng understood, "Is it the Ye Family?"
"Yeah." Chen Tuo nodded, confirming his guess, and added with some mockery, "The people of the Ye Family are truly foolish. They actually posted the task on the dark web and specifically assigned Wan Leng to take it."
Wan Leng's identity outside was that of the top assassin.
However, apart from a few of them, no one else knew about this.
She chattered on, telling him everything she had eaten at the Ye Family.
Qin Lie didn't feel impatient at all. He listened attentively, and when she finished, he handed her a cup of perfectly warm water.
Zhouzhou didn't take it directly. Like a waiting bird, she stretched her little head forward and drank from his hand, making gurgling sounds. After she finished, she hugged his neck excitedly and said, "Dad, come and play with me tomorrow. It's really fun!"
Qin Lie wiped the water stains off her mouth and shook his head. "You go and play. Dad doesn't understand that."
Alright.
Zhouzhou thought for a moment. If he didn't understand medicine, it might seem boring to him.
Seeing him frowning, seemingly preoccupied, Zhouzhou touched his forehead with her small hand, and her chubby fingers smoothed his eyebrows to the sides. "Dad, why are you frowning again? Be careful not to turn into a little old man."
As she spoke, she furrowed her own eyebrows, drawing three lines on her forehead. "Like this, with wrinkles, you'll become old."
Listening to her soft voice, Qin Lie's frown eased, and he touched her forehead, lightly smiling. "Then let's erase them."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou widened her eyes in astonishment. "Can wrinkles be erased?"
"Yes," Qin Lie solemnly misled the child. "If you give a few more kisses, they'll disappear even faster."
Zhouzhou understood and curved her eyes. She hugged his face and planted several kisses on him, her feet swaying with delight. She asked happily, "Is it better now?"
"Much better. I feel like I've become one year younger all at once."
Just one year?
That won't do.
Zhouzhou pouted and moved closer. "Then let me give you more kisses."
She imitated a little chicken pecking rice, smearing his face with saliva, thoroughly amusing Qin Lie.
After playing for a while, when it was getting late, Qin Lie carried her back to her room, gave her a bath, and put her to sleep.
After she fell asleep, he removed the Golden Pixiu from her belly and placed it beside her hand, so that the little girl's stomach wouldn't have a mark every morning.
He walked to the study and noticed a figure following him. He turned his head and asked, "What do you want?"
Ancestral Master placed his hand behind his back, lifted his chin, glanced at Qin Lie arrogantly, and said with a smirk, "I know your little secret."
At these words, Qin Lie paused slightly, his expression unchanged. "What secret do I have?"
You still won't admit it?
Ancestral Master snorted lightly and leaned closer. "For example, the Ye family next door and Zhouzhou are..."
