This sudden change took everyone by surprise.
Commander was montarily stunned and turned to the others, asking, "What's she talking about?"
He had anticipated Zhouzhou crying; after all, she was still a child, and crying a few tis after getting hurt was not unexpected. But what was she shouting about? Fortune? What's that? What is Fortune Hair?
Xi Mo's eyelids twitched, and a sense of unease surged within him. He spoke up, "Fortune Hair."
This ti, Commander understood but was confused, "What is Fortune Hair?"
Xi Mo pointed at Zhouzhou's hair, feeling a bit of a headache. This was the little Chubby Girl's lifeline.
Hearing footsteps outside the door, Xi Mo's expression changed. He quickly said, "I have sothing urgent, I'm leaving."
With that, he jumped out of the window with astonishing speed, leaving the others unable to react in ti.
As he touched the ground, the door was pushed open.
Zhouzhou held her shortened Fortune Hair with one hand and surveyed the room angrily, demanding, "Who did this? Step forward!"
Her Fortune Hair! She had nurtured it for so long!
The loss of Fortune Hair was considered very unlucky!
Seeing the angry expression on the little girl's face, the others suddenly understood why Xi Mo had fled so quickly.
"Is it you?" Zhouzhou's gaze fell on Commander, who was closest to the computer.
Commander imdiately shook his head, betraying without hesitation, "It wasn't . It was your uncle. He said you need to be properly tested, so he deliberately changed the traps halfway."
"That's right, that's right." Dou Qiang and the others quickly nodded in agreent.
Although they didn't know the special significance of Fortune Hair, Zhouzhou's current expression made it clear that it was very important to her.
They certainly weren't going to take the fall for Captain Xi.
After all, getting hit by those little fists must be quite painful. Anyone who had experienced it would know.
Hearing this, Zhouzhou was stunned for a mont and imdiately said, "Impossible, my uncle wouldn't harm ."
"Harm you? How could that be?" Commander said, "Weren't you just complaining that the traps weren't stimulating enough? Your uncle is just trying to be tough on you."
No way they were taking the bla for this!
He spoke with such sincerity that the others also appeared truthful.
Zhouzhou touched her Fortune Hair and then her heart, sitting on the ground and patting her thighs as she cried, "Wuwuwu, why is my fate so bitter?"
Her Fortune Hair was broken by her uncle--such a double blow.
Her heart ached so much.
Seeing her cry so sadly, Commander's mouth twitched.
The little girl he wanted to win over, who might beco a future war god, also had the potential to be a spoiled brat?
Yet the little girl cried so badly, her injuries saring blood on her face, making her look even worse.
Unable to bear it, Commander walked over and picked up Zhouzhou, saying, "Okay, okay, stop crying. I'll give your uncle a good beating later to avenge you, alright?"
Unexpectedly, the little chubby girl imdiately stopped crying and glared at him, "Don't bully my uncle!"
"Okay, okay, I won't bully your uncle." Commander looked at her with a wry smile, wiping the tears from her face.
"Sha on you, crying at your age. What would your classmates say if they saw you?"
Hearing this, Zhouzhou stopped crying imdiately, pouting in grievance. She sniffled, trying hard to hold back her tears, her eyes just spinning around.
This appearance made her look even more pitiful.
Commander, despite being a grown man, felt he was losing his resolve.
He suddenly understood why Xi Mo would agree to whatever this little girl said. Who could bear to see such a soft little niece feel sad?
But that didn't justify him letting the little girl cry and then running away!
After thinking for a mont, Commander decisively said, "Let's go. I'll take you to find your uncle."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Mo reappeared, having circled around and walked back in through the door.
Seeing him, Zhouzhou's eyes turned even redder.
Xi Mo sighed, hurried over, and took the little girl in his arms.
Zhouzhou hugged him, burying her face in his chest, and soon, muffled sobs could be heard.
As long as no one saw her crying, she hadn't really cried!
Xi Mo, however, could clearly feel the dampness on his chest.
He raised his hand to gently pat the little girl's head but, upon touching the shortened strand of hair, his gaze wandered, feeling sowhat guilty.
Just then, Zhouzhou's little head lifted, and she looked at him with a mournful expression.
Seeing this, Xi Mo could no longer pretend ignorance. He cleared his throat and said, "It's okay, it will grow back."
Zhouzhou touched her hair and said unhappily, "This is my Fortune Hair. Uncle, you've cut off my luck!"
Upon hearing this, Xi Mo's mouth twitched.
Is it possible that this hair can't actually bring good fortune?
But he dared not voice this thought, fearing it might lead to losing his little niece.
Quickly coming up with an idea, he said, "I'll make it up to you, but I'm not as rich as your dad. I only have this, is it okay?"
With that, he pulled out a palm-sized piece of jade from his pocket.
The jade was rich in color, lush and green, and even just looking at it, one could feel the intense spiritual energy within.
Zhouzhou's eyes imdiately lit up, and she almost drooled. She nodded vigorously, "That's enough, that's enough!"
This was top-quality jade.
She cradled it in her hands, reluctant to let go.
After receiving the jade, she felt the spiritual energy even more abundant. She nuzzled it against her face, closing her eyes contentedly.
So comfortable.
The next mont, she suddenly felt a sting in her wound. Zhouzhou opened her eyes imdiately, put the jade aside, and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Xi Mo asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"This jade..." Zhouzhou examined it closely, sowhat uncertain, "It seems to have a bit of malicious energy, but also so rits Light."
The rits Light was masking the malicious energy, which is why she hadn't noticed it before.
But how could the jade have both these things?
So strange.
Hearing this, Xi Mo wasn't very clear on the details but had heard Zhouzhou ntion "rits Light" before, so he had so understanding.
Seeing Zhouzhou's frown, he turned to Commander and signaled for Dou Qiang and the others to leave.
Commander didn't understand but waved them out. He and the Wealthy Group mbers stayed behind.
Dou Qiang and the others were not outsiders, but since they didn't have much experience with such matters, it was better not to let them know.
As for Skinny Monkey and the others, they would be Zhouzhou's future teammates, so there was no need to hide anything from them.
"Zhouzhou, explain what's going on."
"I don't know either," Zhouzhou shook her head, looking troubled. "It seems that without my Fortune Hair, I've beco dumb."
"My head worth a billion. How much is the Fortune Hair that fell worth?"
Xi Mo: "......"
Got it, got it. Starting today, he's working to repay this debt!
