After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1240: Zhouzhou Loves Money, but She Has Her Own Way of Getting It
Amidst the clouds, Ye Lingfeng let out a cold snort.
What's the big deal about selling a brother? For money, she'd even sell herself!
If she weren't a girl, considering the conditions given when Shao Shanshan proposed to Qin Er, Zhouzhou would've already pushed Qin Er aside and taken his place.
Thinking about it made his head ache.
This daughter of his was great at everything, but she had this filthy habit!
Grove, who had met countless people of all kinds, quickly regained his composure after a brief shock. He looked at Zhouzhou with a calm expression.
"I don't have much feeling for him, but he is my brother."
The implication was that how to deal with him was his own business, and outsiders shouldn't intervene.
Zhouzhou understood his meaning.
She clasped her hands together, looking incredibly obedient, and with a serious expression, she said, "You're impressive, making such a righteous decision to sacrifice your family. I couldn't do that."
She only knew how to sacrifice herself for righteousness.
Seeing that she wasn't taking the bait, Grove narrowed his eyes. This girl was smarter than he had imagined.
He looked at her and said, "You should know the power of the International Investigation Team. We'll really resort to torture. Even if you are Fugui, even if your father is Ye Lingfeng, there's no way we'd risk offending everyone just for you."
Grove's existence was recognized worldwide.
She was important, but in comparison, she was still too insignificant. He didn't believe Hua Country would do anything crazy for her.
They were always rational.
Zhouzhou looked at him and smiled. She leaned back in her chair, shrugged, and said, "Go ahead, torture me. No need to talk any more. But let me remind you, you'd better kill me directly, or else..."
Her gaze darkened, and her tone carried an immense pressure, which immediately pressed toward him. "Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I might do."
"As for me, my worth is in the billions. Do you know that one strand of my hair could be worth millions? I'm very stingy, so whatever you do, just don't touch my money."
After saying this, she glanced at him nonchalantly, her face showing no fear whatsoever.
Grove's face darkened immediately.
This was what he hated most about people from Hua Country—their mouths were the hardest to pry open, just like.
He suddenly stood up, turned his back to her, and coldly said, "Then you can experience it for yourself."
As he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and immediately two people stepped forward to torture Zhouzhou.
Of course, they wouldn't dirty their hands by hitting her themselves. That would be too tiring.
They used electric shocks.
One of them spoke ominously, "Little girl, the taste of electric shock is not pleasant. Why are you so stubborn? Augusta was a wanted criminal. Even if you killed him, no one could do anything to you. You could still claim the bounty on him."
He coaxed, hoping she would admit it.
Zhouzhou's eyes widened as if she had just understood. "Oh, you should've said so earlier! If I had known, I would've really gone ahead and killed him. It's all about money! What a pity, I've been busy with competitions these past few days. Everyone says a competition is only to go through the motions. I have too much of a moral bottom line and didn't even think of doing it this way. Too bad, it's such a waste. How much would I have gotten?"
She said this while shaking her head, a look of regret on her face.
Hearing this, the faces of the men immediately darkened. Stop pretending! Who else, besides her, had the ability to kill Augusta and clean up the scene so thoroughly?
Realizing she wouldn't talk, they didn't waste any more words and pressed the button.
However, what they didn't realize was that just a second before they made their move, Zhouzhou swiftly flicked two talismans at them.
In an instant, their previously sneering faces twisted in pain, and they collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
Zhouzhou was a little surprised, "What happened to you guys? The electric shock was supposed to hit me, not you. Are you trying to scam me?"
As she said this, her expression became cautious.
The two could still hear her words, but were utterly enraged.
Outwardly, they appeared fine, but in reality, their internal organs had already been severely injured. They couldn't even speak, let alone curse her.
Grove immediately turned around to look at her, "What did you do?"
He was sure she had tampered with something, or else how could this happen?
But how could this be? The instruments were on her, but the ones injured were completely unrelated.
Now he finally understood why everyone said she was a bit strange.
She must have some ability that ordinary people didn't know about.
"You want to know?" Zhouzhou beckoned to him, "Come here, I'll tell you."
Grove didn't approach. Instead, he turned around and left. He quickly came back with someone.
This person was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a peachwood sword.
Zhouzhou's face darkened immediately, "Which Taoist temple are you from? Helping the people from A Country, do others know about this?"
The person immediately laughed, "We have an old saying, 'People die for money, birds die for food.' I'm just working at a different place, earning money to get by, what's wrong with that?"
Zhouzhou sneered, "Earning money by betraying your own people?"
He didn't get angry. If he was easily provoked by these words, he wouldn't have done such things in the first place.
He stepped forward and checked the two men on the ground. Finding pieces of talisman paper, he understood and said, "It seems she used a transfer talisman to shift the harm onto others, which is why this happened."
Grove nodded. He wasn't concerned about the talismans; he only asked, "Is there a way to resolve it?"
"Of course, as long as you take all the talismans off her, she won't have anything left to use."
Saying this, he walked forward and, under Zhouzhou's cold stare, took all the talismans from her.
Zhouzhou looked at him, her face calm, and she clenched her jaw, gazing at him coldly, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Of course," he said without raising his head. "My name is Qu Ying, and this is one of my strengths—I know when to compromise and when to be firm. I never regret what I do, just like when I chose to work for Mr. Jibs."
He glanced at Grove, smiled at him, and took the opportunity to show his loyalty.
Grove nodded perfunctorily, but Qu Ying was quite pleased. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Nowadays, who didn't work for money? As long as you could make money, it didn't matter which country you worked for.
He had no qualms about it.
Zhouzhou, however, found it ironic.
If he had just worked honestly for his money, she wouldn't have said anything. After all, making money wasn't easy.
But this didn't include using the lives of his own people to earn money.
Qu Ying, huh? She'd remember that.
He knew when to compromise and when to be firm; she'd see if his soft spot could be bent so far that it couldn't be pulled back.
Don't worry, she would find him a very nice place for feng shui.
She would ensure that after this life...he had no next life!
