After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Chapter 1040 Do You Know How Valuable That Invitation Is?

"That's me," Ye Lingfeng said immediately.

Seeing him, Zhouzhou giggled and leaped into his arms, cheerfully saying, "I knew it! Dad, even if you turned to ashes, I could still recognize you!"

Ye Lingfeng had changed his appearance again today, but Zhouzhou recognized him at a glance.

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng's mouth twitched. "There's no need to put it like that."

It didn't sound like she was expressing her longing for him—it sounded more like resentment.

Zhouzhou tilted her small face up in confusion, looking at him.

What's wrong? Was there something wrong with what she said?

Ye Lingfeng didn't elaborate. He patted her head and got to the point. "Zhouzhou, Daddy needs your help with something."

"Anything, Daddy! Just say it!" Zhouzhou instantly perked up.

"Brian Junior gave you an invitation today, didn't he?" Ye Lingfeng asked.

"Yes!" Zhouzhou nodded. "Daddy, do you need it?"

"Mm." Ye Lingfeng frowned and explained, "The Brian family is incredibly hard to get into. Their security is too tight, so I need you to take me in."

Zhouzhou nodded her little head. "Okay!"

"Daddy, do you have something that belongs to the person you're looking for? I can help you locate them."

"I do." Ye Lingfeng nodded. He had brought it specifically for this purpose. Previously, he couldn't even get inside, let alone search for someone, but now he had a breakthrough with Zhouzhou's help.

Zhouzhou pulled out her compass and used a talisman to lock onto the aura. The talisman immediately pointed in a certain direction.

She noticed Ye Lingfeng's expression visibly relax.

Looking at him, Zhouzhou suddenly thought of something. "Daddy, why didn't you just ask me to divine whether the person is still alive?"

Ye Lingfeng's eyes trembled slightly. He looked at Zhouzhou and said seriously, "Even if they're no longer alive, I need to bring their remains back."

Whether alive or dead, he had to find them. No matter what, this matter needed closure.

Zhouzhou was taken aback as she met his gaze. Sharp Tongue Daddy was usually somewhat frivolous, and this was the first time she'd seen him like this.

But Zhouzhou's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Wait, you can sell these?"

Qin Er, who was nearby, also perked up, stroking his chin as if inspired.

You could sell them for money? He had an invitation too!

Millions of euros... Qin Er did the math on his fingers and gasped. That much money sitting in the bank could earn tens of thousands in interest every year!

The two exchanged a look, their faces brimming with excitement.

Brian Junior: "..."

Their math skills were impressive, but their comprehension skills? Not so much. They completely missed the point of his words—again.

Qin Er asked, "Who's buying? Can you give me a contact?"

Zhouzhou chimed in, "I want to sell mine too!"

Brian Junior's face darkened. "No! You're not allowed to sell it—you must come by yourselves!"

Qin Er was easier to deal with since he was older and more experienced, but Zhouzhou? A little kid surpassing him in wit and nerve? Unacceptable. Still, he couldn't help being intrigued by her. Why was she so obsessed with money? Was her family poor?

Not really. Her family was filthy rich—her dad was one of the wealthiest. But Zhouzhou herself? Pretty broke.

Zhouzhou was just teasing. She'd promised her Sharp Tongue Daddy she'd go, so she wasn't about to sell the invitation. Pretending to act casual, she asked, "Can I bring my teacher along? We'd like to broaden our horizons."

Hearing this, Brian Junior snorted and raised his chin, as if granting her a favor. "Fine."

He knew she was faking indifference. Deep down, she must have really wanted to attend.

"Good. Then I'll come too," Qin Er announced.

"Wait." Zhouzhou tilted her head. "Brother Dafu, you're not selling your invitation anymore?"

"I am," Qin Er replied confidently. "I'll sell it at the entrance."

"There must be people out there who want to get in but don't have an invitation. I'll auction mine off on the spot—highest bidder wins."

Wow.

Zhouzhou looked at him in awe. What a genius idea!

Brian Junior's expression became complicated. This whole situation was starting to feel oddly familiar, like something he'd seen before... Oh, right. Scalpers at concert venues.
