Because of the ti difference, Zhouzhou only saw the ssage Zheng Yu sent when she woke up the next morning.
She rubbed her eyes groggily, but as soon as she saw his words, she jolted awake, instantly jumping out of bed.
Their sumr camp had dorms, with two people sharing a room. Seeing that her roommate was still asleep, Zhouzhou quickly covered her mouth and tiptoed out, before carefully rereading the ssage. The more she read, the more excited she beca.
Her dad wanted to et her?
And he was taking her on a mission?
Wow!
Not only would she get to save soone, but she could also earn double the pay!
She felt that, even without the Fortune Hair, her luck was still incredibly good!
Zhouzhou hurriedly called Zheng Yu.
Since Zheng Yu was in charge of the information, he had already anticipated Zhouzhou's call and didn't turn off his phone. Upon seeing the incoming call, he passed Zhouzhou's voice to Ye Lingfeng's earpiece.
"Brother Lightbulb," her soft voice echoed, and the look on Ye Lingfeng's face instantly softened.
He hadn't seen her for so long, and the thought of finally eting her again made his longing almost uncontrollable.
He didn't say anything and just quietly listened.
"Hey!" Zheng Yu responded cheerfully, "Did you go over the materials I sent you?"
"Mm-hmm!" Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes! Brother Lightbulb, what do you need to do?"
Well, Zheng Yu didn't know either, so he said directly, "Ask the boss."
Zhouzhou's excitent skyrocketed. "Is Dad listening too?"
"Yes," Ye Lingfeng responded. "There's not much ti, so I'll keep it short."
"Once you arrive, go straight to the competition. Pretend you don't know . Even if you see , don't approach . Wait for to find you. Do you understand?"
"I don't really get it," Zhouzhou admitted honestly, "but I'll rember it, don't worry, Dad."
What else could she do? She was her daddy's little girl—whatever he said, she would do it.
"Then, Dad, when will you co to find ? I miss you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng's heart softened.
He replied, "I miss you too. Once the opportunity cos, I'll find you."
The specifics would have to wait and see.
Ye Lingfeng gave her one final piece of advice, "When you see , no matter what I look like, don't show it. Don't stare at either. There's a very skilled person among them who can conceal their presence. If he detects us, we'll all be in danger."
He said this seriously, his tone much more intense now.
Zhouzhou paid close attention, processing every word. After a mont, she nodded firmly, "Yes, Dad, I got it!"
"Don't worry, I won't slow you down."
Ye Lingfeng wasn't concerned about that. Zhouzhou had never been a burden to him. In fact, she'd helped him many tis.
Rembering sothing, he let out a light laugh, "Then I'll wish you good luck in the competition. May you win the first prize!"
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Daddy! I will!"
At that mont, the class bell rang. Zhouzhou quickly said, "Daddy, I have to go to class now. If you need anything, just send a ssage."
"Okay."
Once the call ended, Zheng Yu hung up the phone.
He found himself missing Zhouzhou a little too.
Ye Lingfeng missed her as well, which is why he couldn't allow her to get into danger during this mission.
He composed himself and said, "Let's continue investigating. See if we can find any news about Captain Qiu and the others."
Brian's family had defenses so tight that even Zheng Yu was struggling to break through.
If they couldn't figure it out by the end, they would have no choice but to send soone inside to investigate.
But that would increase the risk.
They had no choice but to give it another try.
Zheng Yu imdiately took action. Zhouzhou, on the other hand, was focusing on her classes.
She had promised her father she would win the first prize.
She was determined to do it!
Elder Xiao also watched her progress with satisfaction.
As Zhouzhou completed all the knowledge points, the gap between her and Qin Er continued to close. The siblings were pushing each other, taking turns being first.
On several occasions, they even had the sa score and shared the top spot.
Their enthusiasm spread to the other students, who no longer wasted ti playing and focused entirely on preparing for the competition.
Seeing this, Elder Xiao was beaming with delight.
This was the competition's ideal atmosphere.
The half month passed quickly. The day before the competition, Elder Xiao gave them half a day off so they could go ho, prepare their things, and et at the airport the next day.
The children from other provinces had their parents bring their luggage, so they could rest at the training camp.
As for the kids from Jing City, only Zhouzhou and Qin Er were in the top ten.
Before they left, Elder Xiao stopped them and said, "Make sure you both rest well and don't do any more exercises today. Don't get too nervous..."
He then saw the bright, excited expressions on his two disciples' faces and imdiately gave up on continuing his advice.
It was pointless to say more—these two were more excited than anyone else.
"Well then, just go ho," Elder Xiao chuckled, waving his hand.
It was all futile.
Zhouzhou and Qin Er exchanged glances, confused as to why Elder Xiao had stopped them, but it didn't matter. They were eager to leave.
When they arrived ho, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin eagerly waited. They imdiately embraced their little granddaughter, feeling concerned. "You've lost so much weight."
Zhouzhou blinked, then ran over to the height chart, stood up straight, and excitedly asked, "Grandma, can you tell if I've grown taller?"
Grandma Qin smiled as she walked over and compared to the last mark. "You've grown one more centiter!"
Yay!
Zhouzhou's eyes lit up imdiately. She knew she was growing taller!
She wasn't the little shortie she used to be anymore.
It had been half a month, and Grandpa Qin couldn't help but chuckle. "You're still the sa, little missy."
Grandpa Qin looked at her and asked, "Has this ti been tiring for you?"
Zhouzhou shook her head vigorously, "No, not tiring at all."
She then looked at Qin Er and waved at him.
Qin Er, accustod to such behavior, just shrugged and smiled.
Zhouzhou, however, didn't give up and looked longingly at her grandparents.
Seeing this, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin asked again, "Is it tiring?"
Qin Er shook his head. "No, it's not tiring."
Making money was never easy, but as long as it was for a good cause, the exhaustion was worth it.
So no, he wasn't tired at all.
"Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Zhouzhou and Qin Er nodded together, "Yes!"
Seeing their excited expressions, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin stopped worrying. These two were more excited about the money than anything else.
As for the pressure? Not even a trace of it.
Zhouzhou was still thinking about sothing else. After speaking with them, she ran off to find Qin Lie.
Qin Lie was in his study. He noticed the door open and saw a small head pop through. A smile appeared on his face, and he waved at her. "Co in."
Zhouzhou imdiately ran to him, jumped into his arms, and nuzzled her little head into his chest. She climbed onto his lap and said, "Dad, I have sothing to tell you!"
"Sharp Tongue Daddy is also in B Nation!"
