She guessed.
Zhouzhou's eyes rolled around, and then she let out a heavy sigh. "I guess it must be like this. You had your plans exposed by earlier, but you couldn't think of a better solution, so you decided to go along with the cliché thods anyway. Did you think you could fool like that?"
Divine Thunder: "..."
What a pretty young girl, but why did she have to have such a sharp tongue?
Above the clouds, the other Divine Thunders were also stunned, staring at Zhouzhou in disbelief. How did she know everything?
Ye Lingfeng couldn't help but chuckle softly, his eyes filled with pride.
Well, of course, look who her father is.
His child was just naturally brilliant.
After waiting for a while and getting no response from the Divine Thunder, Zhouzhou's eyes widened in shock, filled with a look as if saying "No way, no way, did I really guess it right?"
Then, she shook her head and comforted, "It's not your fault. Lack of creativity isn't your mistake."
Though her words sounded comforting, her eyes clearly conveyed a different ssage.
The Divine Thunder crackled with sparks, clearly annoyed and embarrassed. It left with a final remark, "Do as you please."
So what if it was their plan? She still had to decide whether to save Xi Mo or not.
Of course, she would save him.
But knowing that this was the Divine Thunder's idea, Zhouzhou actually felt relieved.
The worst outco would be her failing the test and being poor for the rest of her life. But they wouldn't just stand by and let her uncle die, right?
That was a good thing.
Thinking this, Zhouzhou quickly ran inside and said to Qi Yue, "Mr. Qi, I'll take the ransom and go save my uncle."
Hearing this, Qi Yue raised an eyebrow and glanced outside curiously, his expression a bit strange.
He had secretly watched earlier as the little girl hid in a corner and talked to the air for a long ti. Could this child have sothing wrong with her brain?
Oh right, he had heard that she was into taphysics and could communicate with spirits. So, was she talking to a ghost just now?
At this thought, he looked at Zhouzhou with even more curiosity.
Seeing that he wasn't responding, Zhouzhou waved her hand in front of his eyes. Qi Yue finally snapped out of it and said, "Do you need anyone else? I can arrange it."
Zhouzhou, however, shook her head. "No need, I'll go alone."
At this, Qi Yue frowned and looked at her seriously. "Do you know what kind of situation you're walking into?"
They were being so blatant about it, clearly setting up a trap for them to walk into.
It was already dangerous, and now she wanted to go alone? That just wouldn't do.
Zhouzhou, however, said, "Going alone will catch them off guard. It'll be more convenient."
Qi Yue was still hesitant, worried that sothing might happen to Zhouzhou. He wouldn't be able to explain it to Zhao Xinghua if that happened.
He knew very well how much Zhao Xinghua treasured this girl. He often bragged about her in front of them.
If sothing really happened to her, he wouldn't be able to make it up to Zhao Xinghua.
Just as he was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing the number, he instinctively glanced at Zhouzhou before answering.
It was Zhao Xinghua calling.
As soon as he answered, Zhao Xinghua got straight to the point. "I've heard about Xi Mo's situation. Let Zhouzhou go alone. He's her uncle, so she'll definitely take it seriously."
Qi Yue didn't expect Zhao Xinghua to think the sa way. He frowned and said, "Aren't you worried that sothing might happen to her? That it's dangerous?"
Zhao Xinghua chuckled. "Why don't you go ask the people Zhouzhou has defeated and see who's really in danger here?"
Qi Yue: "..."
So arrogant.
But also, fair point.
He had forgotten again that the girl in front of him wasn't an ordinary child. She was the infamous Ye Fugui, feared by both the righteous and the underworld.
Thinking this, he slowly relaxed and said to Zhouzhou, "Then be careful. Call if anything happens."
Zhouzhou didn't stand on ceremony and imdiately said, "There's actually sothing I need Mr. Qi's help with right now."
"What is it?"
Zhouzhou grinned innocently. "The ransom. I don't have that much money."
Qi Yue: "..."
Yeah, right!
Had all the bounty money from the rankings gone to the dogs?
He finally understood. The rumors about her being a money-grubber were also true!
Truer than true.
He looked at Zhouzhou, both annoyed and amused, and shook his head. "Give an hour."
"Okay." Zhouzhou was also very efficient. She used that hour to make so preparations.
An hour later, she set off with the prepared ransom. Instead of going to the designated location, she used a compass to directly find their hideout.
At that ti, those people had no idea what they were about to face.
They were eating at and laughing heartily. "Those Hua Country people killed so many of our brothers before. Now it's finally ti for revenge."
"Exactly! Using Xi Mo's life to pay for it, our brothers can rest in peace!"
"Not just that, we're making a fortune!"
"Once the money's in our hands, we'll humiliate Xi Mo properly. Boss, what kind of death do you think we should give him?"
Hearing this, the others also looked toward the man at the head of the table.
Cyril took a big gulp of wine. His face was covered in a thick beard, making him look fierce and nacing.
He slamd the bowl on the table and said viciously, "I heard they have a torture thod in Hua Country called 'death by a thousand cuts.'"
As soon as he said this, the others exchanged glances and laughed maliciously.
Soone imdiately raised their hand and said, "Boss, I'm good with a knife. Let do it!"
"My skills aren't bad either. Let try."
This was about torturing Xi Mo to death. It would be such a boast-worthy story. Many people were eager to volunteer.
However, Cyril said, "I'll do it myself."
"Five years ago, he killed my big brother. I must avenge him personally!"
As he spoke, he stared intently at Xi Mo, his eyes slightly red, as if rembering his brother.
Hearing this, the others praised him endlessly.
Listening to this, Zhouzhou found it utterly ridiculous.
The so-called "big brother" he ntioned wasn't even related to him by blood. He was just the previous leader of this group.
She had already investigated this. Clearly, Cyril himself had wanted to usurp the position, yet he made it sound so noble. How hypocritical.
In the end, he just wanted to use this to build an image of loyalty and righteousness. As if he deserved it!
Looking at Xi Mo, who was tied up and hanging to the side, Zhouzhou clenched her fists tightly.
How dare they treat her uncle like this? They were done for!
They liked the idea of death by a thousand cuts, huh? Fine, she'd give them exactly that.
Thinking this, she took out an Invisible Talisman and stuck it on herself, then walked out boldly.
The next second, she suddenly paused.
Looking up, she saw everyone turning their heads toward her, their guns pointed directly at her. They shouted in alarm, "Who are you! How did you get in!"
Zhouzhou: "?" Did her Invisible Talisman fail?
But in just a second, Zhouzhou realized what had happened.
Divine Thunder had set her up!
