After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Chapter 12 Uncle, You Have the Aura of Misfortune

Qin Lie retracted his hand and coldly said, "Let's talk about it later."

After speaking, he walked inside with long strides.

He still couldn't believe that such mysterious things existed in this world.

Zhouzhou pouted her lips but didn't feel discouraged. She followed him curiously, looking around. Before long, her gaze was drawn to a certain spot.

Following the direction of the little girl's gaze, Qin Lie raised an eyebrow.

She was looking at the buffet area, which was quite lavish.

Thinking about her appetite, he knew she was a little gluttonous cat. Qin Lie glanced at his assistant.

The assistant understood and walked over, bending down and saying, "Miss, let me take you to eat. It's dinner time."

As he was about to reach for her hand, Zhouzhou swiftly dodged and ran to Qin Lie, hugging his leg and saying softly, "No, I want to protect Dad!"

She was worried.

Hearing her words, Qin Lie lowered his gaze and looked at the little girl who was clearly salivating yet firmly refusing. His brow twitched, and then he said expressionlessly, "No need."@@@@

With that, he handed her over to the assistant and walked away.

Zhouzhou still wanted to follow, but the assistant held her back. "Miss, let's go eat first. There are surveillance cameras everywhere here, so CEO Qin won't encounter any problems."

But there were things they couldn't see.

Zhouzhou sighed but then remembered that he was still carrying the talisman she had drawn for him, so she didn't insist any further.

As soon as they entered the buffet area, Zhouzhou's attention was completely captivated. She looked at the dazzling array of food, unable to decide where to start.

Even the assistant was charmed by her. He smiled and said, "You can eat anything here, Miss."

"Really?" Zhouzhou looked at him in surprise, hesitating a bit. "Can I eat everything?"

Knowing her appetite, the assistant nodded. "This is a hotel owned by CEO Qin. You can eat as much as you want. It doesn't matter if you finish everything; we can always have more made."

Moreover, most people come here for business discussions, so there aren't many people dining. Most of the food is just for display, and it would be a waste to throw it away. It's better to eat it.

Dad's hotel?

Zhouzhou exclaimed, her mouth forming an "O" shape. "Are they all Dad's?"

The assistant nodded. "Yes."

Everyone gasped in disbelief, looking at Zhouzhou with incredulous eyes.

This child has gone mad.

How dare she curse Liao Jiang's son?

Unfortunately, Zhouzhou was completely unaware of the shocking words she had just uttered. She tossed the copper coin and looked at the hexagram on it, speaking again, "There's one more hour. If we don't hurry to save the little brother, he'll be in mortal danger."

"Zhouzhou, stop making things up." Seeing that Liao Jiang's face had darkened completely, Qin Lie spoke up.

"Dad, I'm not making things up." Zhouzhou shook her head, her bald little head gleaming under the lights, attracting attention. What drew even more attention was what she said next.

She said, "Uncle, was the little brother born in the Year Renyin, in the Month Wushen, on Day Dingyou and at Zi hour?"

Liao Jiang looked bewildered, not understanding what she meant by those words.

Qin Lie glanced at Zhouzhou, who had a serious expression, and was also somewhat puzzled. But he still translated, "The Year of the Tiger, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, between eleven o'clock at night and one o'clock in the morning."

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou smiled, tilting her head back.

"Yes, just as my dad said."

Hearing her words, Qin Lie pursed his lips and looked away.

Liao Jiang suddenly realized, "Little Yu was indeed born on that day."

He looked skeptically between their fingertips, not knowing if this was a planned prank. But when he thought of Zhouzhou's words, an inexplicable panic welled up inside him.

Zhouzhou continued, "Little brother was born on the Ghost Festival, so he should have cried a lot and had a weak constitution when he was young."

"Yes, that's right," Liao Jiang hesitated a bit. After all, this information could be easily found with a casual search. However, he did not expect that the next sentence from Zhouzhou would send shivers down his spine instantly."

Zhouzhou continued, "The person who kidnapped the little brother, Uncle, you know him. Hmm... that person isn't tall, a bit chubby, usually smiles a lot, but is wicked behind people's backs. She has beaten up the little brother and used to live in your house for a long time, probably two or three years, and only left recently."

"Oh, that person should often come into contact with water. Little brother's fate is linked to fire, making it easier for him to fall into the hands of such a person."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, an image of a person surfaced in Liao Jiang's mind.

Just then, his phone rang, and he immediately answered it. The voice on the other end came through right away.

"Husband, we found the person who took Little Yu. It's Fang Meilan. Could it be that she's trying to retaliate for us firing her? But she took advantage of us not being home to bully Little Yu. What does she want to do to Little Yu this time..."

His wife was still anxiously asking, but Liao Jiang's mind went blank, his face filled with shock.

The Fang Meilan she mentioned was their former nanny.

Moreover, her description perfectly matched what Zhouzhou had said!
