After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1059: Cannot Calculate

"Immature! Master, you are so, so immature!"

Zhouzhou’s voice was filled with disbelief as she looked at Li Yuanming, shaking her head. Her thoughts raced, wondering what to say next.

Li Yuanming’s face also darkened as he let out a snort. "Hmph, I knew it. Your mouth, it’s just full of lies!"

He was just trying to fool him again.

Zhouzhou’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him. "Master, you already knew, and yet you still did it like this!"

What? Was she implying that it was his fault?

Li Yuanming’s eyes immediately widened in shock.

Zhouzhou also stared at him with wide eyes, their gaze locked in disbelief.

Just moments ago, they were both deeply touched, now it felt like their bond had shattered in an instant.

Such a fragile master-disciple relationship!

Just then, Ye Lingfeng emerged from the building, seeing the two of them with their wide-eyed, angry expressions. He raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "What’s going on?"

Upon seeing him, Zhouzhou immediately ran over to complain. "Dad, Master is so immature!"

Li Yuanming also joined in with his own complaint. "Your daughter is full of nonsense!"

So greasy! So manipulative!

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng immediately understood what was going on and couldn’t help but nod his head. Yeah, that was pretty manipulative.

"Dad!" Zhouzhou cast a resentful glance at him.

Ye Lingfeng cleared his throat, raising an eyebrow. "What’s wrong? You’re allowed to be manipulative but others can’t say anything?"

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou stomped her foot, pulling out her helmet from her bag, and quickly put it on her head. She ran off toward the bushes, hiding herself inside.

Li Yuanming, seeing this, was puzzled. "What is she doing?"

Ye Lingfeng smiled faintly, explaining, "She’s embarrassed and just wants to hide."

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou peeked her little head out from behind the bushes, just showing her eyes. She shot him a resentful glance before disappearing back inside.

Li Yuanming couldn’t help but laugh out loud. His silly disciple! How did she become even more childish?

He waved at her with a smile. "Come here."

Zhouzhou stayed still, but she quickly climbed up a tree, hiding herself among the leaves. She let out a long sigh of relief.

Safe!

Now no one could make fun of her!

Ye Lingfeng’s smile deepened as he saw her antics.

Li Yuanming, however, was speechless and didn’t call her down. Shaking his head, he turned and walked back into the Taoist temple.

Ye Lingfeng approached the tree and looked up slowly. "Your feet are sticking out."

Zhouzhou looked down, immediately climbing higher up the tree. Now, no one could see her at all.

Ye Lingfeng, seeing this, smiled a little and walked away leisurely.

Sure enough, sometimes little girls could be quite silly.

She must have learned that from Qin Lie; it didn’t look like she inherited it from him.

He wouldn’t take any responsibility for this behavior.

Zhouzhou cautiously peeked through the leaves. When she saw that they were both gone, she relaxed and lay down on the tree.

Hmph, good thing she knew how to climb trees.

Now, if they wanted to laugh at her, they would have to climb up here first.

No more teasing her, right?

She thought to herself, shaking her little head proudly.

She took out some snacks that Grandma Qin had given her, munching happily as she ate. It was so relaxing.

She planned to stay in the tree all day.

After finishing an apple, Zhouzhou was about to reach for another snack, but as her hand brushed through her bag, her eyes accidentally landed on something. She froze for a moment.

That was...

"Second Uncle?"

Zhouzhou jumped down from the tree, startling Qin Xu, who was walking by. He looked at her in surprise. "Zhouzhou, what are you doing here?"

Realizing where she was, he quickly figured it out. She must be here to visit Li Yuanming.

Zhouzhou blinked curiously at him. "Second Uncle, why are you here?"

Qin Xu remembered the reason he had come and quickly replied, "Zhouzhou, you’re here just in time. Can you help me with something?"

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. "Is there money involved?"

"Yes!" Qin Xu quickly nodded. "There really is."

"Well, here’s the thing..."

Inside the Taoist temple, Li Yuanming had finished bringing in the meal, but Zhouzhou hadn’t returned yet. He asked Ye Lingfeng to go look for her.

That silly girl could be stubborn sometimes. He didn’t want her to go hungry.

Ye Lingfeng didn’t think so. He was certain Zhouzhou wouldn’t let herself go hungry.

But he didn’t say this out loud. Seeing that Li Yuanming genuinely cared about Zhouzhou, he walked outside to help.

Just as they reached the door, they bumped into a group of people. Ye Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, curious.

"Dad," Zhouzhou said as she ran toward him. "Dad, Second Uncle is here to find Master."

"Looking for Li Yuanming?"

Li Yuanming walked out upon hearing the noise and saw them all wearing uniforms. He paused for a moment, confused. "What’s this about? What do you need me for?"

He hadn’t done anything wrong, after all.

Qin Xu explained, "We received information that a criminal, who’s currently being pursued, was likely hiding among the visitors here a few days ago. Have you seen her?"

He pulled out a photo to show Li Yuanming for identification.

The woman in the picture had deep-set eyes and didn’t look like a typical Chinese.

Li Yuanming studied the photo carefully before shaking his head. "I’m not always in the front. I’ll ask the others if they’ve seen her."

He called everyone from the temple to come and help with the identification.

Unfortunately, none of them recognized her.

Li Yuanming then said, "You should ask Zhouzhou. She’s really good at reading faces."

But this time, Zhouzhou wasn’t much help.

She frowned as she looked at the photo. "Her face is too strange, it’s too chaotic. I can’t tell."

This was the first time her face-reading skills had failed her.

Li Yuanming was slightly surprised. He took the photo and examined it closely for several seconds.

Qin Xu’s subordinates, seeing how seriously Li Yuanming was studying the photo, couldn’t help but ask, "Master, did you figure something out?"

After all, Li Yuanming was Zhouzhou’s teacher, and surely he was far more skilled than she was.

Zhouzhou covered her mouth, stifling a laugh. She didn’t expose him, though, because she didn’t want to embarrass him.

Li Yuanming cleared his throat and took on an aloof expression, saying, "Nothing. I just want to see if anything rings a bell."

Everyone from the temple knew how capable he was. They smiled quietly to themselves, not pointing it out.

But one of the young officers, unaware of the situation, asked impatiently, "Didn’t you see anything from the face? Nothing at all?"

That shouldn’t be the case! Zhouzhou was always right when she read faces.

Li Yuanming feigned depth, knowing he couldn’t avoid the question. He finally replied, "She kind of looks like some of the people in the books."

"Huh?"

The officer was confused. What did he mean by that?

Zhouzhou almost burst out laughing.

Whenever her master couldn’t tell anything, he would say that the person didn’t look like those from the books.

But this time, he was actually saying she looked like someone from a book?

Zhouzhou was stunned for a moment. She stretched her head out and looked at the photo again. Actually, there was a resemblance?

The three views, the facial features, it did look similar.

But it wasn’t just one person, it was more like a mix of many people.

Then Zhouzhou had an epiphany. "Second Uncle, did this person undergo plastic surgery?"

Hearing this, Qin Xu nodded. "Yes, and not just once. According to our records, she has even had her bones reshaped."

No wonder.

No wonder Zhouzhou couldn’t tell. If her bone structure was altered, it was no surprise she didn’t recognize her.

"By the way, what does she do? Did she kill someone?"

Qin Xu shook his head, his expression serious. "No, she hasn’t killed anyone, but it’s almost as bad."

"She created a type of virtual currency, tricked a lot of people out of their money, and caused many to go bankrupt. Some couldn’t handle the pressure and committed suicide."

"What?"

Tricking people out of money?

Zhouzhou was immediately furious.

Tricking people for money was unforgivable.

She was determined to catch her!
