章節 13: Little Drama Queen Seeks a Hug

Snapping back to his senses, he quickly turned his head to look at Zhouzhou and hastily said, "Little girl, do you have a way to find Little Yu? If you can find him, I'll give you anything you want!"

Remembering her words just now, he became even more anxious.

She said there were only two hours left.

They had wasted quite a bit of time just now. Was there still enough time?

He regretted it so much. He shouldn't have wasted time.

"Can I still save Little Yu?" he asked with a trembling voice.

"Yes, of course," Zhouzhou replied with a relaxed expression. "There's still time, Uncle. I'll take you to him."

As she spoke, she was about to run out.

Qin Lie grabbed her and lowered his voice, asking, "Can you really find him?"

A person's life was at stake, and this wasn't a joke.

Zhouzhou nodded her little head vigorously, resembling a chick pecking at rice grains. "Yes, yes, I've calculated the location of little brother."

Qin Lie stared at her for a while, and seeing that she wasn't joking, he let go of her and decided to trust her for now. "Let's go."

Soon, the few of them were sitting in the car, with Zhouzhou holding the Qiankun Mirror in her hands and not lifting her head. "Turn right ahead, then go north for five hundred meters, and turn south..."

Qin Lie drove according to her instructions and surprisingly didn't end up in a dead end all the way.

He slightly raised his eyebrows in slight surprise and glanced at her through the rearview mirror, pondering.

"Dad, stop the car in front of that boundary." After driving for over an hour, she finally spoke up.

Qin Lie looked to the side and indeed saw a boundary marker. The place seemed abandoned, overgrown with weeds, and one couldn't see it without getting closer.

How did she know?

"Are we here?" Liao Jiang asked nervously, glancing at the time. There was only a little time left from the two hours she mentioned, making him even more anxious.

Before Zhouzhou could answer, a hint of smoke reached their noses, and a sharp pain gripped Liao Jiang's heart. He had a feeling that his son was inside.

Zhouzhou's brows furrowed, and she quickly ran towards that direction.

Qin Lie and Liao Jiang hurriedly followed suit.

When they reached the scene, the smoke became thicker. Liao Jiang was coughing uncontrollably, but he couldn't care about himself and forcefully pounded on the iron gate.

However, the iron gate was securely locked and couldn't be broken. He was so desperate that he almost cried.

Seeing that Liao Jiang couldn't make any progress after a while, Zhouzhou sighed and pulled him back. "Uncle, let me do it."

Without waiting for Liao Jiang to ask her what she was planning, Zhouzhou lifted her chubby little foot and lightly kicked the door. The iron gate that was difficult to move just moments ago instantly collapsed with a loud crash.

He opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

Zhouzhou didn't say much to him. She took out a fireproof talisman and stuck it on her forehead, then swiftly ran inside. In the blink of an eye, she came out with a little boy in her hand.

It was Liao Yu.

"Little Yu!" Liao Jiang hurriedly reached out and took him, calling his name anxiously.

Qin Lie also carried the child aside, furrowing his brows as he examined him. The boy had fair and clean skin, without a trace of burns. Qin Lie finally relaxed a bit.

Zhouzhou blinked her eyes and looked at him. Seeing the worry in his eyes, she couldn't help but grin. She held his hand and placed it on her bald head. "Dad, I'm fine. Don't worry."

Qin Lie withdrew his gaze and instantly returned to his expressionless self. Zhouzhou pouted her lips and was about to speak when she heard Liao Jiang's desperate shout, "Little Yu, wake up!"

She turned her head and saw Liao Jiang holding Liao Yu, crying in pain. However, Liao Yu remained unresponsive, his eyes tightly shut.

Zhouzhou walked over, held his wrist, felt his pulse, and then took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag. She poured out a green pill and placed it in Liao Yu's mouth, pinching his chin.

Liao Jiang was about to ask what it was when he saw Liao Yu's eyelids twitch. He slowly woke up, and all the questions he wanted to ask were forgotten as he exclaimed in joy, "Little Yu!"

Liao Yu blinked his eyes and weakly called out, "Dad," his voice sounding feeble.

Liao Jiang, as if hearing a heavenly voice, was filled with excitement. "Yes! I’m here!"

He hugged his son tightly, his face filled with relief.

On the side, Zhouzhou watched them, her eyes rolling around. Suddenly, she hugged Qin Lie's leg and said, "Dad, I feel dizzy too."

Qin Lie lowered his head and looked at the little girl with rosy cheeks. He remained silent.

Zhouzhou looked up at him, then glanced in Liao Yu's direction, showing envy. She turned her head and said, "Dad, I was also choked by the smoke."

As she spoke, she coughed twice.

Qin Lie looked at her poor acting skills, feeling speechless in his heart. He reached out and picked up the little girl. "Let's go."

Zhouzhou's feet wobbled in the air before landing on the ground. She felt a bit disappointed. Dad was really heartless. Sighing, she remembered the food she had eaten earlier and silently encouraged herself. Master said that it's not easy to eat enough, and she must not give up easily.

Hmm!

She clenched her little fist, her expression serious as she nodded.

Liao Jiang couldn't rest assured and took his son to the hospital for a check-up to ensure there were no problems. Only then did he completely set his heart at ease.

He gratefully said to Zhouzhou, "Little girl, I'm really grateful to you today. If you have anything, just let us know, and our Liao family will definitely help."

Zhouzhou's hand discreetly moved towards Qin Lie's clothes, and upon hearing this, she looked up and tilted her head in thought. She said, "Can Uncle chat with my dad for a while?"

She had seen her dad walking towards this uncle at the banquet earlier, as if they had something to talk about.

Upon hearing her words, Liao Jiang was taken aback, and Qin Lie also glanced at her.

Seeing their reaction, Liao Jiang suddenly smiled and said, "Alright, CEO Qin, let's go to the coffee shop downstairs and chat for a while. I also want to hear your thoughts on the New Harbor project."

This project was the one Qin Corporation was preparing for recently.

Liao Jiang's previous attitude clearly showed that he didn't want to cooperate with Qin Corporation. The sudden change now was self-evident.

Feeling their gazes, Zhouzhou also looked up at him. Her fair little face revealed two small dimples, making her cute and lovely.

Qin Lie averted his gaze and walked downstairs with Liao Jiang.

They returned half an hour later.

Zhouzhou was boredly swinging her short legs, her hands propped on the chair. When she heard movement, she turned her head and saw Qin Lie with a reddish glow on his face, indicating that they had reached an agreement.

She felt happy in her heart, jumped off the chair in a flash, and ran towards him, hugging his leg. "Dad!"

The little girl was chubby, and her soft bump against his leg made Qin Lie instinctively catch her. He looked at Zhouzhou, who was full of joy, and his expression became complicated.

Liao Jiang laughed, "CEO Qin is truly fortunate. Why haven't I heard about you having a daughter before?"

Qin Lie lowered his gaze and looked at Zhouzhou. His fingertip casually touched her smooth forehead, and he lightly said, "Found her on the street."

章節 14: Dad Qin is Awesome

Found on the street?

Liao Jiang repeated these words in his mind and jokingly asked, "Where did you find her? If I have a chance, I'd like to find one too."

The little girl had a soft appearance that made people's hearts melt. She was young but quite impressive.

Remembering what happened today, Liao Jiang took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to her. "Little girl, this is my token of appreciation. I'm really grateful for your help today."

Zhouzhou remembered this little card. Her Grandma had given her one before.

She glanced at Qin Lie and saw him nodding, so she accepted the bank card. After thinking for a moment, she took out a talisman from her bag and handed it to him. "Uncle, put this under the little brother's pillow. He just experienced a life-or-death situation, and his soul is unstable. With this Soul Stabilization Talisman, nothing bad will happen to him."

"And don't worry about the bad person who kidnapped him. She will be caught soon and won't have a chance to harm him again."

"Alright, alright." Upon hearing this, Liao Jiang didn't hesitate and quickly took the talisman with both hands. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Zhouzhou shook the bank card in her hand. "It's a reciprocal gift."

Although the little girl was young, she spoke in a roundabout manner. Liao Jiang couldn't help but find her even more likable.

After returning to the hotel, Zhouzhou went to the restaurant first and ate a table full of dishes to fill her stomach before following Qin Lie back to the room.

After taking a shower, Zhouzhou came out of the bathroom, holding a towel even bigger than herself, and rubbed it on her smooth head. When she looked up, she saw Qin Lie on the phone. The voice on the other end sounded familiar, and her eyes lit up. She trotted over, her eyebrows curved with joy. "Grandma!"

On the other side, Madam Qin also heard her voice and exclaimed, "Yes!" She hurriedly urged Qin Lie, "Quickly open the video so I can see my precious granddaughter."

Qin Lie furrowed his brow. He had been planning to hang up, but he didn't expect the little girl to come out at this moment, and her hearing was so sharp.

Listening to Madam Qin's urging, Qin Lie opened the video and handed the phone to Zhouzhou.

"Grandma." Zhouzhou looked at the person on the phone and was overjoyed.

Madam Qin's face was filled with wrinkles from smiling. "Zhouzhou, how was your day? Are you happy? Did anyone bully you?"

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully to the side.

Qin Lie was holding a laptop, engrossed in reading a project proposal, and didn't bother to look up.

Zhouzhou happily replied, "I'm happy! Nobody bullied me. Dad is really nice. I really like him!"

Listening to her cheerful voice, Madam Qin could tell she wasn't lying, and she was even more satisfied.

Although she wanted Zhouzhou's household registration to follow Qin Lie, it didn't mean she wanted Zhouzhou to be mistreated.

"If he treats you badly and you won't want this dad anymore, grandma will find you a better one." She said.

"No." Zhouzhou flatly refused. "Dad is good, I don't want to change!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie's fingers on the laptop paused for a moment, and he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

The smile on Madam Qin's face grew even wider. "Alright, alright, no change."

She raised her voice and said, "Zhouzhou likes your dad so much, and that’s his fortune. I don't know what blessings he accumulated in his past life to have a daughter like you. Grandma is envious. Who does Zhouzhou like the most?"

At these words, Zhouzhou chuckled mischievously. She knew the answer to this question from her senior brothers in the past.

"Dad can make Zhouzhou full, Grandma buys pretty clothes for Zhouzhou, both of you are good, and Zhouzhou likes you all!"

What a smart girl.

Madam Qin didn't want to make things difficult for her. "Alright, since Zhouzhou likes it, then stay with him for now. When you come back, remember to call Grandma in advance, and Grandma will make delicious food for you."

"Okay!" Zhouzhou's eyes lit up at the mention of food, watery and even more endearing to others.

The two of them chatted for over an hour before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Qin Lie didn't know where they found so much to talk about. He furrowed his brow and poured a glass of water for her.

Zhouzhou didn't take it and drank a few sips from his hand, tilting her head and smiling at him. "Thank you, Dad."

Qin Lie casually responded with a "Mm" without realizing that he had already accepted this title.

Seeing that she didn't go to bed but instead leaned over the table, took out talisman paper and a cinnabar pen, and furrowed her brow, he asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm drawing talisman for Dad," Zhouzhou replied without looking up. "That bad person who stole Dad's luck hasn't been dealt with yet."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie also remembered Qin Rui's matter. And considering that Zhouzhou recognized Liao Jiang's face and found Liao Yu today, he understood that this little girl was different from other children.

He furrowed his brow and asked, "Did Qin Rui really provide offerings to an evil god at home?"

Just thinking about that scene made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He never expected the honest and straightforward Qin Rui to do such a thing.

"Yes," Zhouzhou said, her brows furrowing as well. "That evil god stinks all over, even worse than poop. Not only is the bad person wicked, but also stupid. Can anyone just casually bring an evil god home?"

As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send one away, especially when it's an evil god. It is the embodiment of evil itself, and once the offerings are cut off, it will result in even greater malevolent retaliation.

Evil gods are not that easy to deal with.

Resting her cheek on her hand, Zhouzhou said, "Now Dad's luck has been cut off, and the evil god can't get luck from you anymore. It can only absorb it from other sources. The bad person is in for a rough time."

She took a bit of pleasure in this and snorted. After all, the person who harmed her Dad was wicked and would face retribution.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie nodded and asked, "What do we need to get rid of the evil god?"

"We need something with spiritual energy, like a crystal or jade. We attract the evil god out with it and then eliminate it."

That's how it works.

Qin Lie was deep in thought when the little doughball suddenly pounced on him. He instinctively reached out and caught her, lowering his head to meet a pair of sparkling eyes.

Zhouzhou hugged his neck and asked cheerfully, "Dad, do you believe what I said?"

"No," Qin Lie's face remained expressionless, wanting to put her down, but Zhouzhou refused to let go. She held on tighter, buried her little face in his neck, and rubbed against him. "It's okay if Dad doesn't admit it. I know."

"Dad, don't be afraid. Zhouzhou will protect you!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie's hand on her shoulder paused for a moment. Then, he pulled the little girl off him and tucked her into the blanket. "Go to sleep quickly."

Zhouzhou wasn't discouraged. She wrapped herself in the blanket, rolled around in bed, and turned herself into a little cocoon. Then, she rolled to the other side of the bed, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at him. "Dad, don't be shy. You clearly like me, don't you?"

Qin Lie glanced at her and was about to speak when Zhouzhou suddenly slapped a talisman on him.

Before Qin Lie could understand what was happening, his mouth uncontrollably uttered a sentence, "Bald heads are fun to touch."

After saying that, his face turned completely black.

Zhouzhou, on the other hand, smiled brightly. Before he could get angry, she rolled to the other side of the bed, her head bobbing up and down as she nestled into the blanket. After a short while, she popped up again.

"Dad, I heard it! You said you like me!"
