An hour later, two figures, one human and one wolf, appeared at the entrance of a villa.
Lu Ye surveyed the surroundings with a faint raise of his eyebrow, then turned to Zhouzhou, his face filled with perplexity. "Where are we?"
Sensing his confusion, Zhouzhou gestured for him to bend down and whispered softly into his ear, "It's Uncle Huo's place."
She was quite cunning in her own right.
Uncle Huo dared to withhold paynt, so she was determined to give him a good scare.
Hmph!
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye understood the situation imdiately. A glint of coldness flickered in his eyes as he produced a dagger from sowhere. "I'll go kill him."
"Ah, no, no, no," Zhouzhou exclaid in alarm, quickly grabbing his arm. "We don't need to resort to murder. Uncle Huo isn't that bad. We just need to intimidate him a bit."
Why was her brother so fierce, always resorting to violence at the drop of a hat?
It was quite unnerving.
But she understood that he was doing it all for her, so Zhouzhou couldn't help but feel touched.
Taking the dagger from his hand, Zhouzhou said, "Although Uncle Huo is useless, he hasn't completely lost his conscience. There's no need to be so ruthless."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye looked at her with a hint of confusion, as if unsure of the purpose behind Zhouzhou's visit.
What was the point of just scaring him? Since they were already here, they were definitely going to send him on his way to reincarnation.
However, seeing the determination in the young girl's eyes, he didn't say anything more.
With determination, Zhouzhou flipped over the gate and stealthily made her way inside, crouching low as she moved.
The wolf king watched her actions with puzzlent, exchanging a glance with Lu Ye, equally perplexed. Was all this necessary? Even if she stood upright, how many people would notice her?
Lu Ye sighed lightly as he stroked Wolf King's head.
Zhouzhou had been unconventional for quite so ti now.
After all, who would sneakily drink Xinbao's milk?
The Huo family naturally had surveillance, but for the likes of them, it was no cause for concern.
With little effort, they easily evaded detection, and the trio – two humans and one wolf—arrived at the door of Huo Mingxuan's room.
Zhouzhou mustered her courage and suddenly pushed open the door, shouting loudly, "Ha!"
Haha, gotcha!
She stood triumphantly with her hands on her hips, and the two figures on the bed suddenly jerked into action.
Wait, two people?
Zhouzhou stared in disbelief, puzzled by their actions.
Lu Ye glanced over and imdiately covered Zhouzhou's eyes with one hand while switching on the light with the other. Only when he saw the situation on the bed did he release her.
What a letdown.
Not interesting at all.
However, Zhouzhou was startled to see a man pinning down Huo Mingxuan, holding a knife poised to strike.
Despite Huo Mingxuan's efforts to grasp the man's wrist, the tip of the knife continued to inch closer.
Hearing the commotion, he turned to Zhouzhou, gritting his teeth. "Chubby Girl, help , quick!"
Zhouzhou pouted unhappily. "When did I allow you to call 'Chubby Girl'?"
Can he compared to Little Skinny Pole?
Hmph.
Although she said that, Zhouzhou still approached the bed.
She poked the man holding the knife politely and said, "Uncle, I need to get back to sleep soon. Staying up late stunts my growth. Could you let bully Uncle Huo first? Thank you."
At her words, the man glared at her.
Initially concerned upon seeing soone else arrive, he now saw only a little girl and a seemingly frail young man. He dismissed them from his mind.
In response to Zhouzhou's words, he impatiently waved his hand. "Get lost."
Zhouzhou's eyes widened. "Uncle, why are you cursing at people? How rude."
Huo Mingxuan was on the verge of bursting a blood vessel from anger. Was this the ti to be concerned about manners?
With the knife almost at Huo Mingxuan's chest, Zhouzhou suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's wrist. "Hold on a second. Let have a few words with Uncle Huo."
She then turned to Huo Mingxuan and asked, "Uncle Huo, if I save you, will you pay ?"
"Yes!" Huo Mingxuan gritted his teeth. "Just get him off ."
But Zhouzhou wasn't in a hurry. She hadn't asked about the price yet.
"How much are you willing to pay?" Zhouzhou counted on her fingers. "If I call my second uncle, it's considered heroic, and he'll give thirty thousand."
Initially, the reward for apprehending a human trafficker was three hundred thousand, but that was because of a wanted poster.
Later, as Zhouzhou collected more rewards, the police station couldn't keep up with her fleece, so they reduced the amount.
Thirty thousand for one capture, with additional rewards for apprehending major criminals.
Zhouzhou calculated in her mind which option was more suitable.
Huo Mingxuan was livid, squeezing out a few words through his teeth. "I'll give you three hundred thousand!"
Zhouzhou's eyes lit up. "Then pay up first!"
After all, he had a history of defaulting on paynts.
With Zhouzhou's restraint gone, the man imdiately exerted force, attempting to stab Huo Mingxuan.
Huo Mingxuan's face turned deathly pale.
Just as the tip of the knife was about to pierce his chest, a pale, sowhat sickly hand suddenly grabbed the man's wrist.
Lu Ye's voice was calm. "She told you to wait."
Both of them were incredibly strong, and the man couldn't move an inch.
Looking at them, he couldn't help but feel a bit overwheld. "What do you want? Hurry up!"
Zhouzhou hurriedly reassured him, "Uncle, don't worry. It'll be your turn soon. After Uncle Huo gives the money, I'll take you to the police station to collect my reward."
Although Huo Mingxuan chose to give her money for help, the fact remained that this uncle who had broken into soone's house in the middle of the night to commit murder was definitely a villain.
It was convenient to exchange him for money.
She wanted both the three hundred thousand and the thirty thousand!
The man was on the verge of spitting blood from rage, utterly infuriated. "Ahhhh!"
Where did this little girl co from? So naive!
Despite Zhouzhou's lack of cunning, she certainly wasn't lacking in strength.
With a casual pinch, she snatched the knife from the man's hand, much to Zhouzhou's delight. She handed the POS machine to Huo Mingxuan with a grin. "Uncle Huo, pay up!"
Huo Mingxuan rose shakily, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Today's events felt too theatrical.
First, he was about to go to sleep, then a forr business partner who had previously rejected him suddenly showed up with a knife, intent on killing him. Then, in the midst of their struggle, the little chubby girl arrived.
She seed to be here to save him, yet not quite.
He suspected she might also be after his life.
Seeing him sitting there in silence, Zhouzhou's smile suddenly disappeared.
She asked cautiously, "Uncle Huo, are you thinking of defaulting on paynt again?"
He should have let her swipe the card while lying down!
Zhouzhou regretted her decision, cursing her own forgetfulness.
When Huo Mingxuan ca to his senses, he saw Zhouzhou staring thoughtfully at the knife in her hand, glancing in the direction of the man.
She seed to be hesitating about whether to return the knife to him.
Feeling a chill down his spine, Huo Mingxuan quickly pulled out a bank card and handed it to her. "Here."
Without hesitation, Zhouzhou took it and skillfully swiped it. Hearing the sound of money being transferred, she smiled once again.
Delighted, she ran outside, shouting as she went, "Uncle Huo, pretend you didn't know I ca. It'll give you a little scare!"
Huo Mingxuan: "..."
And she said she wasn't naive!
