After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Ye Lingfeng opened his arms to embrace Zhouzhou, and anyone watching would say that it was a heartwarming father-daughter reunion.

However, in the next moment, Zhouzhou suddenly grabbed Ye Lingfeng's arm and performed an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming him onto the ground. His face twisted in pain, and there was a faint crackling sound, almost like the buzz of electricity.

Qin Lie, who had been following behind, was taken aback. His eyes flashed with surprise as he quickly walked up to Zhouzhou and asked, "What happened?"

Zhouzhou replied, "This is not my dad."

Qin Lie finally understood. He had thought... He had thought the two were about to have a falling out, and he had even been preparing to take advantage of the situation.

Tsk.

But the thought was brief, and it quickly vanished.

He scanned the room and helped "Ye Lingfeng" to his feet, patting his shoulder. "Just kidding, didn't expect you to be this fragile."

Zhouzhou, smiling sweetly, added, "Yeah, Dad, your skills aren't what they used to be."

Upon hearing these words, the people around them seemed to realize what was going on. They turned their gaze elsewhere, no longer paying attention to the situation.

With that, Zhouzhou and Qin Lie escorted the "Ye Lingfeng" to a room.

After receiving a call, Qin Ren immediately rushed over. Looking at the situation in the room, he asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Zhouzhou said, "Big Brother, this isn't my dad. Come see what's going on." Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

"What?" Qin Ren's face showed clear surprise. Not Ye Lingfeng? But the person in front of them clearly resembled him.

However, Zhouzhou wouldn't be wrong. He immediately stepped forward to investigate.

Throughout it all, "Ye Lingfeng" just smiled at them, looking at Zhouzhou with an indulgent gaze. "Zhouzhou, what are you talking about? How could I not be your dad?"

Then, he shot a sideways glance at Qin Lie. "Is this your doing again? Trying to stir things up behind the scenes, trying to take Zhouzhou all for yourself?"

The voice, the tone, the words—everything about it was exactly like Ye Lingfeng.

But Zhouzhou just stared coldly at him, crossing her arms without reacting to anything the fake "Ye Lingfeng" said. No matter how much he tried to talk, she ignored him.

Soon, he fell silent, his entire demeanor fading, his face losing all expression, and even his eyes darkened.

Zhouzhou's face immediately tightened, and she hurried forward, only to see Qin Ren pulling a battery out from the back of "Ye Lingfeng's" head.

"Just as I thought." Zhouzhou's eyes turned cold, her fists clenching as she spoke through gritted teeth. "Something must have happened to my Dad."

Qin Ren's expression also darkened. He hadn't expected that the person in front of them, who had acted so much like Ye Lingfeng, was actually a fake.

But everything he said sounded exactly like Ye Lingfeng himself.

It wasn't until they realized it was a robot that they understood.

Yes, a robot.

Qin Ren spoke, "It's so realistic. Even the skin feels like real human skin. Zhouzhou, how did you figure it out?"

Zhouzhou scoffed. "Instinct. I can recognize my dad in an instant."

She didn't need anything special. It was just a feeling. Every time she saw her dad, she wanted to hug him. But with this one, she only wanted to punch him into pieces.

She was her daddy's girl, obedient and gentle. How could she possibly feel this way about her own father? The only explanation was that this wasn't her dad.

"So where's Uncle Ye now?" Qin Ren asked.

Zhouzhou furrowed her brows. "Dad must be in trouble."

She quickly pulled out her phone and dialed a number. However, the ringtone came from the fake Ye Lingfeng.

Qin Lie walked over and took a phone out of the fake Ye Lingfeng's pocket. He had even stolen her dad's phone.

Zhouzhou took a deep breath, feeling more certain in her suspicions.

She quickly dialed Zhao Xinghua's number, and the call was picked up almost immediately.

"Zhouzhou?" Zhao Xinghua said, a bit surprised. "You should have met your dad by now. Why are you calling me?"

Could it be that she missed him?

If Ye Lingfeng found out, he'd probably get even more annoyed.

But Zhao Xinghua's smile froze when he heard Zhouzhou's next words.

Zhouzhou's voice came through calmly but with an underlying tension. "Uncle Zhao, my dad's missing. What came is a fake version of him."

"What?" Zhao Xinghua's smile disappeared immediately. He jumped to his feet, his voice urgent. "What happened? Explain it clearly."

Zhouzhou then recounted everything that had happened.

When the word "robot" came up, Zhao Xinghua's fists clenched tightly. "It must have been him."

Zhouzhou immediately thought of a name. "Luke?"

"Yeah, you also think it was him?" Zhao Xinghua responded.

Who else could make a robot so lifelike?

And who else had the ability to capture Ye Lingfeng? There were few people in the world who could accomplish that.

"Zhouzhou, can you locate your dad," Zhao Xinghua urged.

"I'll try." Zhouzhou nodded and took out a copper coin to perform a divination. However, as she examined the symbols, her frown deepened.

"I can't."

"What?" This was the first time she couldn't get a result.

Zhouzhou then took out her Compass, but the needle spun uncontrollably, not allowing her to determine Ye Lingfeng's location.

Her eyes grew cold.

If Luke had replicated her formation, then he must have found a way to exploit its weaknesses.

From a scientific perspective, metaphysics essentially relied on magnetic fields. Luke must have discovered this and disrupted the magnetic field around Ye Lingfeng, trapping him somewhere, which was why she couldn't pinpoint his location.

Damn it.

Did he think there was nothing she could do now? Fine. She would just go straight to his lair!

She couldn't find her dad, but finding Luke was just a piece of cake!

Feeling Zhouzhou's fury, Zhao Xinghua quickly tried to calm her down. "Zhouzhou, don't panic, stay calm. Let me see if I can find a way to locate your dad."

He didn't waste any time and quickly asked Zheng Yu to investigate.

About half an hour later, Zheng Yu finally sent a message: "We can't find the exact location of the boss, but we have a general direction."

"That's fine." Zhao Xinghua frowned. It was better than having no leads, at least it was a direction.

Zhouzhou said, "It's fine, I'll think of something when I get there."

Did they think she was some helpless fool?

Whoever dared touch her dad would never find peace!

Zhouzhou's fury was palpable, and her chilling aura spread out, making Zheng Yu and Zhao Xinghua shiver over the phone.

They both thought, Zhouzhou is truly becoming more like Ye Lingfeng with every passing day.

The father-daughter duo's intensity was identical.

Qin Lie watched Zhouzhou with a mix of awe and surprise.

For years, Zhouzhou had always been the obedient, cute little girl in front of him, sometimes a little mischievous. But this... This was the first time he had seen her like this—like a fierce god of war.

At this moment, Qin Lie truly felt it. His little girl had grown up.
