After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Chapter 615 Collecting the Money

Zhouzhou's heart ached profoundly. The two money-grubbers clutched their chests, glaring at Qin Bei with exasperation and reproach.

Zhouzhou couldn't help but say, "Sixth Brother, why didn't you ask the family for help? It would have saved money."

Qin Bei replied with confidence, "If I asked the adults, I'd get a beating, and treatment costs money too. I'm not foolish."

If he wasn't foolish, then who was? Never had they seen someone so silly. Thinking about the money, Zhouzhou and Qin Er felt a pang of distress. Why work at all? It would be better to play games with Qin Bei!@@@@

Qin Bei felt dejected after failing to find a job. At that moment, someone approached them, smiling and asked, "Kids, do you want to make some money?"

It was the beggar they had seen yesterday. He had no legs and sat at their eye level, appearing unstrained.

Qin Bei, lacking sense, brightened at the question, "Do you have a way?" The beggar's eyes flashed with disdain at how easily he could deceive them.

Children were indeed gullible, he thought, not noticing Zhouzhou and Qin Bei exchanging an excited glance. The money came to them!

"Of course I do," the beggar said, thinking he was hiding his intentions well. He shakily pulled out three candies from his pocket, "Do you want some?"

These were ordinary fruit lollipops, which Qin Bei usually dismissed, but now he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He wanted to eat them.

Just as he was about to reach out, Zhouzhou pulled his hand back and smiled sweetly at the beggar, "Uncle, can I have all of them?"

The beggar hesitated but didn't overthink it, "Sure, let's go over there to eat them. Be careful, other kids might snatch them from you."

Zhouzhou, pretending to be scared, grabbed the candies tightly and nodded vigorously, acting as if she was afraid of losing them. The beggar felt even more disdain, thinking how easy it was to fool children.

"Come, I'll take you to a place with plenty of good food," he said, leading them down an alley. Zhouzhou tightly held Qin Bei's hand; among them, only he truly trusted the beggar.

Qin Er, having previously caught traffickers with Zhouzhou, easily saw through the beggar's intentions. They had once sold a trafficker for three hundred thousand yuan—a profitable venture!

Remembering this, Qin Er's eyes sparkled. Zhouzhou secretly handed him a pill. Qin Er, curious, saw Zhouzhou signaling him to swallow it.

Without hesitation, he did so, trusting Zhouzhou completely. Soon, he understood its purpose.

When they reached the alley, Qin Bei foolishly asked, "Where's the good food?" At that moment, several people appeared, covering their noses with cloths.

Qin Bei fainted instantly. As for Zhouzhou and Qin Er...

As soon as the cloth touched her nose, Zhouzhou closed her eyes immediately.

For a while now, they had uncovered that these beggars weren't just random individuals; they were part of a criminal syndicate. Each day, the beggars would have to hand over 80% of their earnings, keeping only a small portion for themselves.

What's more, every beggar had a quota to meet—fail to do so, and they'd be beaten.

If they managed to bring in "new recruits," they were given extra rewards. It was an entire organized operation.

The "new recruits" they abducted would have their arms and legs broken, turned into cripples, and thrown onto the streets to beg.

And for those who refused to cooperate or couldn't bring in money, they'd have their kidneys harvested and sold.

The cruelty of their methods was beyond horrifying.

"How did Zhouzhou end up with that man?" The officer exclaimed, unable to hide his concern.

Zhouzhou had visited a few times, and they had all grown fond of the cute and clever little girl. Now, they were understandably anxious.

In contrast, Qin Xu, the girl's uncle, remained unnervingly calm. His eyes didn't flinch, and he showed no sign of worry.

"It's fine," he said slowly. "Zhouzhou is there."

It was precisely because Zhouzhou was there that they were worried!

Without further explanation, Qin Xu looked at the screen with a faint smile.

His niece was quite capable.

The girl was sharp and had a good grasp of medicine. Since childhood, she had dealt with all sorts of peculiar drugs, so a little knockout drug wouldn't affect her at all. It wasn't even worthy of being called a real sedative.

Trying to sell her? They'd have to practice a lot more.

But anyone daring to harm her was clearly courting death.

"Let's go," Qin Xu said, striding confidently toward the exit.

After a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned, and said to an officer, "Oh, and remember to inform the director to prepare the reward. I'll be bringing people to collect it soon."

Officer: "Huh?

Who are you bringing?"
