Chapter 45 Eldest Brother's Experience
Danger!
Quick-witted Zhouzhou immediately stuck an invisibility talisman on herself and instinctively held her breath, not moving.
Seeing her action, the person next to her followed her gaze and looked at the empty space, feeling puzzled. "What's wrong, Dr. El?"
"It's nothing." El withdrew his gaze, but his eyes glanced in that direction again, his gaze deepening. He adjusted his tie and said, "Let's go."
Watching them leave, Zhouzhou stood still in her place. Sure enough, two minutes later, the group of people returned. Seeing the empty spot, El's brow slightly relaxed. "Let's go."
This time, they didn't come back again.
I knew they would double back to attack.
Zhouzhou disdainfully snorted and ran forward with her short legs.
Qin Ren pulled out a chair and lifted her onto it, asking casually, "Why did it take you so long?"
Zhouzhou didn't say anything but stared at him intently. She hadn't noticed before, but her scientist Eldest Brother, despite his privileged background, hadn't had a smooth life. Judging from his appearance, he had experienced a great calamity in his childhood.@@@@
Could it be related to what those people said about "Number One"?
Thinking of this, she absentmindedly touched her chin.
Seeing her like that, Qin Ren raised an eyebrow and also touched his own face. "Is there something on my face?"
Zhouzhou shook her head repeatedly. "No."
Saying that, she stopped thinking about it and focused on eating. After all, the bad people had temporarily left, and he wouldn't be in any danger for the time being. She would ask her dad later when they returned home.
She refused to talk, but Qin Ren sensed that something was amiss. His gaze swept in the direction she had just been to, pondering. What happened to her just now?
Both of them kept their thoughts to themselves and didn't speak.
After finishing their meal, they played in the fruit orchard for a while. When it was getting dark, they returned home with baskets full of fruit.
"You picked so much!" Grandma Qin looked at the several baskets of fruit, somewhat surprised.
"Yeah!" Zhouzhou proudly lifted her chin, pointing at the two baskets with the ripest fruits. "Grandma, I picked these."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lie instantly opened his eyes, and sleepiness vanished. He sat up immediately, furrowing his brows and asked, "Who told you that?"
Zhouzhou then explained what she saw yesterday at the bathroom door. "...I saw it with my clairvoyance. The pictures they printed on paper, it's Eldest Brother. Dad, does Eldest Brother have this nickname? I don't like it; it doesn't sound good."
Coldly, it sounded like calling something lifeless.
But Eldest Brother is clearly alive, why would they call him that?
Qin Lie didn't say anything, but his heart was still filled with shock and anger. He clenched his fists tightly, his gaze becoming icy.
Those people actually dare to come back!
"Dad?" Seeing his unusual reaction, Zhouzhou waved her hand in front of his eyes.
Qin Lie snapped back to reality, looking at her and said earnestly, "Don't talk about this matter to anyone, especially not in front of A' Ren."
Zhouzhou obediently nodded, then curiously asked, "Dad, who are those people?"
"People who have harmed A' Ren," Qin Lie's voice sounded like it was coming from within the ice, filled with uncontrollable anger.
Indeed, she didn't see it wrong. Those were the bad guys.
Zhouzhou understood and clenched her small fist, saying, "Dad, don't worry, I will protect Eldest Brother and won't let those bad people bully him!"
She was quite capable.
However, Qin Lie responded, "Don't get involved in this matter. Leave it to me. Stay away from them if you encounter them again."
He looked at her and said each word, "If they find out about your abilities, they will really cut you into pieces."
He looked serious, without a hint of joking.
This time, what he said was true and not meant to scare a child.
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou frowned, remembering something. She furrowed her brows and said, "Dad, has Eldest Brother also been cut into... pieces as a little boy?"
This term sounded strange, but Qin Lie understood what she meant.
His expression turned even colder, and he said in a cold voice, "What they did is a thousand times, ten thousand times worse than that!"
