After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1107: A Feint

"Dad?" Zhouzhou looked at Qin Lie in shock, never expecting the one Ye Lingfeng expecting would be him. She couldn’t help but glance at Ye Lingfeng, her face full of confusion.

Chen Tuo, equally puzzled, spoke up. "Boss, why did you call Mr. Qin here?" This was the first time it had happened. They were on a mission, not a sightseeing trip—calling him here didn’t seem appropriate.

Ye Lingfeng remained calm and answered, "Do you really think that, with how much A Country cares about Luke, we can just quietly swap him out without a hitch?"

The group fell silent, all of them knowing the answer. It was difficult. Almost impossible.

Zhouzhou blinked and said, "I have an invisibility talisman, no one can see me."

Ye Lingfeng shook his head. "Did you forget? Luke also studied this kind of thing. He has ways to counteract your talismans."

That was true. Her little compass had almost failed her last time.

But she still didn’t understand why Qin Lie had been called in for this mission. It seemed risky.

Ye Lingfeng didn’t leave them hanging. "I brought Qin Lie here because I hope he can distract A Country’s economic lifeline, at least draw their attention away from Luke. If we succeed in that, the chances of completing this mission increase."

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up as understanding dawned. "So this is a ’feint’—to make them think we’re doing something else!"

She chuckled to herself, feeling quite proud. Now, with her skills, she was cultured too!

Seeing her proud little expression, Qin Lie smiled slightly, ruffling her hair. "Be careful and stay safe."

"Mm-hmm!" Zhouzhou nodded earnestly and returned to discussing the mission with the others.

Qin Lie sat quietly to the side, watching without intervening. This was his first time seeing Zhouzhou in action. His little girl was growing up so fast, even in places where he couldn’t see. It was clear that everyone trusted her, something she’d earned through repeated missions.

He felt a mix of pride and concern, his emotions complex.

At some point, Ye Lingfeng had moved to sit beside Qin Lie, crossing his legs casually. "So, what do you think? My daughter’s pretty amazing, right?"

He glanced at Qin Lie and snorted. "Following you around, she only knew how to make a mess and lose money at street stalls every day."

Considering Zhouzhou’s appetite, she ate more than she earned. But if she went on missions with him, that’s where the real money—and merit—came in.

Qin Lie withdrew his gaze and replied flatly, "Mm, you’re doing great. You’ve turned her head bald."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng clenched his teeth. "That’s Ancestral Master’s issue, not mine!"

He was also puzzled. Despite Zhouzhou’s many successful missions and accumulating merit, there was always a glaring gap in her own, particularly on her forehead.

At such a young age, and yet her forehead had become barren. Who could explain that?

Qin Lie didn’t care. "The earnings are yours, but the missing part on her head isn’t related to you? Hmph."

Ye Lingfeng, irritated by the sarcastic tone, ground his teeth in frustration, almost ready to hit him. His earlier smugness vanished, and he uncrossed his legs, fanning himself in agitation.

It infuriated him! All these years, and he still couldn’t get a single advantage over Qin Lie. It made him even angrier!

This guy, always talking like he was the richest man alive. Maybe he should be doing stand-up instead!

Fuming, Ye Lingfeng closed his eyes, unwilling to say another word. Stay updated through novelbuddy

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but laugh when she saw both of them sitting in a row after she finished her task.

Look at that! The two dads’ relationship was so good now.

She decided that when they got older, she’d arrange for them to retire together!

If Ye Lingfeng ever found out what she was thinking, he’d probably be so furious that he’d spit blood.

The idea of retiring together with Qin Lie? He’d probably be in a hurry to send him off to the afterlife!

But those were matters for the future. Right now, their attention was fully on Luke.

After more than eight hours in the plane, they finally arrived in A Country.

During the flight, Zhouzhou and the others had already changed into their disguises.

Qin Lie watched helplessly as his delicate little girl slowly transformed into the appearance of a sleazy, middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache that made people want to look away at first glance.

Qin Lie: "..."

He found it hard to look at her.

But Zhouzhou, admiring herself in the mirror, was quite pleased. "This is the appearance of an assassin from R country. I just eliminated him a few days ago, and his death hasn’t been reported yet. Now I’m borrowing his look."

When it came to missions, one always had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

If they were discovered, they could always shift the blame elsewhere. After all, Hua Country hadn’t done anything.

The others quietly laughed.

They too had disguised themselves as people on the wanted list, ensuring nothing would go wrong.

Once they finished checking their disguises, they disembarked from the plane.

They acted as though they didn’t know each other and scattered, checking into hotels near Luke’s laboratory.

He had made the lab his home for years, rarely going out, and when he did, it was always with bodyguards.

Zheng Yu quickly hacked into Luke’s lab’s surveillance system.

He had started this work when he left the island earlier. It was all for this moment.

He reviewed the previous footage and said, "Luke goes out every Monday morning, so this is our best chance to catch him."

Inside the lab, there were too many things that could counteract Zhouzhou’s talismans, so they couldn’t be certain of their effectiveness. Moreover, the surveillance system had almost no blind spots.

If they entered, they would definitely leave traces.

The best option was to solve the problem outside.

Zhouzhou agreed, "Let’s switch him outside."

And tomorrow was Monday.

However, they also had to prepare in case he changed his plans and didn’t go out, so they still had to be ready to act inside.

Zheng Yu gave Zhouzhou all the video footage from the lab. Like the lab with Alva, there were many small rooms, looking mysterious and hiding who knows what illicit activities.

"Wait, this isn’t right," Lu Shi suddenly said, pointing to a spot.

He took a screenshot and sent it to the group. "This person is suspicious."

The others looked at the image, and the thin monkey raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong with him?"

"This person wasn’t the same when he entered and when he came out," Lu Shi clarified.

What did he mean?

Zheng Yu quickly typed on the keyboard, pulling up the video of the person entering and leaving, comparing them side by side.

The person had entered carrying a bag full of vegetables, likely the chef in the lab. He looked very ordinary, someone easy to overlook.

But Lu Shi insisted, "When he came out, his aura was off."

Qin Ren also took a look, and after a long pause, he said, "Indeed, something’s wrong. This doesn’t look like a real person. Luke probably did the same thing as we did."

What? He had switched a robot for a real person?

Why?

The chef was just a normal worker. What was the point in switching him?

People like Luke always looked down on ordinary folks. The only explanation was that he was conducting experiments.

The experiment wasn’t fully developed yet, so they managed to notice the discrepancy.

Zhouzhou then asked a crucial question: "So where did he put the real person?"
