After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1074: Solo Mission
Ye Lingfeng didn’t make things unnecessarily complicated. The conditions he proposed were quite simple.
"Let Zhouzhou start with the 100th target, and leave the top ten for later."
So that was what he meant.
Zhao Xinghua let out a relieved breath and nodded without hesitation. "No problems. I was planning on that approach anyway."
Though Zhouzhou was indeed incredibly capable, she was still young, and lacked experience. Throwing her into missions that were too dangerous right away would be risky, and Zhao Xinghua was cautious about such decisions.
Of course, he wanted Zhouzhou to grow stronger, but he wasn’t about to risk her well-being before she was ready. He didn’t want any accidents to happen before she had developed the skills needed to handle such dangers. If anything happened to her before that, both he and Ye Lingfeng would suffer the consequences. Neither he nor the Fourth Bureau could bear such a result.
Thinking about that, he relaxed and leaned back in his chair, letting out a deep sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the meeting was progressing smoothly, which caught him off guard. He had spent the entire night preparing his speech, but now that it was time to speak, the words just wouldn’t come out. It felt a little frustrating.
After a while, Zhao Xinghua exhaled heavily and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Alright, since the vote passed unanimously, let’s discuss the specifics."
"For example, who should be the first target?"
Zhouzhou, listening from the side, couldn’t hide the joy in her eyes. She covered her mouth and snuck a smile, then hugged Ye Lingfeng’s arm, whispering firmly, "Daddy, I love you so much!"
"I love you the most!"
Ye Lingfeng felt a warm smile spread across his face but couldn’t resist teasing her. "You only love me because I agreed that you can take the missions? If I hadn’t agreed, would you not lovee me anymore?"
Zhouzhou shook her little head vigorously. "Of course not!"
She said, "Even if Daddy doesn’t agree, it’s only because it’s for my own good, I know that!"
With that, she rubbed her little cheek against his arm affectionately, making Ye Lingfeng’s heart soften.
She certainly had a way with words, didn’t she? Sometimes this little rascal really knew how to charm people. But the words she said made him feel good, and for a moment, he couldn’t help but sigh lightly.
Even so, he still wanted to go along with her wishes, though he would make sure to protect her during this process. He wouldn’t let her get hurt.
At this thought, his eyes filled with resolve.
Before long, Zhao Xinghua and the others had chosen their first target... or rather, the first mission target.
Zheng Yu quickly retrieved the information and handed it over to Zhouzhou.
Though the target was only ranked 100th on the global wanted list, the person was still quite dangerous.
After all, this list covered the entire world. While it was hard to rank "good people," bad ones were much easier to identify. Anyone on the top 100 of the list was no ordinary person. None of them were soft targets.
Ye Lingfeng said, "This mission is yours to complete. You can bring your team members along to assist if you like."
"Zhouzhou, remember one thing: No matter what enemy you face, never underestimate your opponent."
If you look down on your enemy, you won’t give it your all, and that’s how you get tricked.
That was a major taboo.
Zhouzhou listened carefully, nodding her little head seriously. " I got it!"
She was excellent at pretending to be weak to outsmart others. She considered herself the world’s best little "pig" to eat up the big "tiger"! No one could fool her.
She continued, "And I know, the villain dies because they talk too much!"
She shook her head proudly.
Ye Lingfeng couldn’t help but laugh. Thinking about how she had handled August earlier made him feel a little lighter.
In fact, Zhouzhou had never made any of the mistakes he had warned her about. Even when someone tried to bribe her with money, she had resisted.
Why? Because she was a little money-hungry! She wanted both portions of the reward—the property and the bounty on the target’s head. She wasn’t going to let the enemy go just for money.
She was a little expert when it came to money matters.
He thought for a while, and couldn’t think of any further advice to give her. He realized that Zhouzhou was actually much more capable than he had initially realized.
His little girl had truly grown up.
At that thought, he felt a wave of sentimentality. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt if she took her time growing up. He wished she would stay close to him a little longer and let him spoil her. But, unfortunately, Zhouzhou wasn’t born to be coddled. She was meant to spread her wings and soar.
Even he couldn’t keep her grounded.
All he could do was protect her, ensuring she grew up safely and successfully.
With that thought, his eyes became clearer, and his resolve solidified further.
To train Zhouzhou, Zhao Xinghua and the others wouldn’t offer her any advice. They would only give her Zheng Yu’s assistance to help with some of the necessary information.
The plans and strategies were all up to her.
Soon after, they left the meeting room, and only the Wealthy Alliance members remained.
Skinny Monkey and the others looked at Zhouzhou with eager, burning eyes. Their faces were full of excitement.
Finally, their group would be able to handle their own missions!
They thought they would have to wait for Zhouzhou to grow up first, but it turned out she had matured much faster than they expected. Now, she was ready to handle things on her own.
Zhouzhou hadn’t thought much of it before, but now, seeing their eager expressions, she suddenly felt the weight of responsibility.
She wasn’t just going on a mission herself—she was leading them.
They didn’t mind her age and were willing to follow her orders. They were entrusting their lives to her, without hesitation.
That thought made Zhouzhou take a deep breath, and she realized how heavy her responsibility was.
Looking at them seriously, she said, "Don’t worry. I’ll take you all with me and bring you back safe and sound, I promise!"
At her words, the group paused, then Skinny Monkey smiled widely. "Boss, we believe in you!"
The others echoed the same sentiment. Stay connected via novelbuddy
Zhouzhou smiled back at them, not showing off, and quickly began planning the mission.

As Skinny Monkey and the others listened to her strategy, they nodded to themselves in approval.
They weren’t fools—they wouldn’t risk their lives on a whim. They trusted Zhouzhou because they knew she was more than capable.
She seemed destined for the Fourth Bureau from the start. Her talent in this area surpassed even Ye Lingfeng’s. Every strategy she laid out was perfect.
That was the real reason they followed her lead.
Once the plan was set, Zhouzhou and her team had a meal and left for the mission.
This mission would take several days.
Ye Lingfeng stayed up for those days, watching Zhouzhou’s progress more intently than he had watched his own first mission. He was even more nervous than he had been back then.
Zhao Xinghua felt the same way.
After all, it had been his proposal. If anything went wrong, he would never forgive himself.
Fortunately, three days later, Zhouzhou bounced off the plane.
"Daddy, I’m back!"
Seeing her safe and sound, Ye Lingfeng exhaled deeply, his heart finally at ease.
Turning to look at his little girl, running towards him, he felt an overwhelming sense of pride and realization.
His little girl had truly grown up.
