Chapter 126: Chapter 126: He’s Too Ugly to Deserve Brother
Jia Xu glared angrily at Song Yi.
Song Zhe and Gu Xulin immediately pulled Song Yi behind them, shielding him.
Jia Xu saw this and laughed. "Ask around and see who needs a new test subject. Send him over."
Song Zhe immediately became furious. "No way! As annoying as my brother is, I’m not giving him to you!"
Song Yi was touched for a second. ’Thanks a lot, my terrible brother.’
The two assistants gave up on Gu Xulin and started trying to grab Song Yi. Seeing his good friend in trouble, Zhong Mingrui eagerly offered his help—by shoving Zhong Siqi towards them.
"How about you take someone else?"
Zhong Siqi: ???
Zhong Siqi glanced at Zhong Mingrui with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. ’Damn it, my hand is getting itchy.’
Song Yi had a touched expression on his face.
’Good brother! In the next life, I’ll still fight you for Big King!’
Gu Xulin face-palmed in exasperation. ’Gu Zhao has corrupted them all.’
Seeing them constantly obstructing him, the impatience in Jia Xu’s eyes grew. Noticing this, his assistants quickly called over all the security guards from the cells.
More than twenty people directly restrained Gu Xulin and the others.
Gu Xulin struggled fiercely, his face a mask of anxiety and rage. "Let go! Don’t you touch the kids!"
"If you dare touch my brother, I’ll haunt you even in death!" Song Zhe was worried and furious. He could joke around, but he couldn’t let anything actually happen to his brother.
Zhong Siqi and Gu Zhen felt the same. Seeing their little brothers being so roughly pinned to the ground broke their hearts.
"OW OW OW!! That hurts! My Big King will avenge me!" Zhong Mingrui yelled, sprawled on the floor, but still defiantly glaring at Jia Xu.
Song Yi chimed in, "My Big King is the Beast God! When she gets here, she’ll have animals bite your butts!"
Seeing their furious yet helpless faces, Jia Xu laughed out loud. "Just look at you all, so pathetic and powerless."
He then looked at the three children. "Take them away. Send them to the lab."
"OW! It hurts, it hurts! Be gentle!" Zhong Mingrui yelped again.
But these men had no respect for the young. They violently hauled the children up and started to walk.
Zhong Siqi and the others had bloodshot eyes. "Don’t touch them! They’re just kids! If you want someone, come for me!"
Gu Xulin bit his lip so hard it hurt, trying to use the pain to calm himself down. But watching Zhong Mingrui and the others being treated so violently was driving him insane.
"Don’t touch them..." Gu Xulin’s voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot. "Whatever you want... I’ll do it... Just don’t touch them..."
After saying this, all the strength seemed to leave his body.
"Heh, if you had just submitted to me earlier, we could have avoided all this trouble." Jia Xu gave a playful smile. Seeing them like this cured all the frustration he’d felt all night.
"Huh?" Gu Zhao’s head popped out from behind a nearby wall. "What’s going on here??"
"Big King! Big King!! WAAAAAAH!" The moment they saw Gu Zhao, Zhong Mingrui and Song Yi burst into tears.
Gu Jiao’s eyes turned red too.
Gu Xulin didn’t speak, just looked at Gu Zhao with worry.
’How did she get here?’
Gu Xulin glanced at her worriedly a few times. Seeing she had no injuries, he looked away.
’Gu Zhao isn’t an idiot. She wouldn’t just appear recklessly without a plan.’
’We don’t know her plan, so we should stay quiet and wait for her signal.’
’If we can’t help her, we at least can’t drag her down with us.’
Song Zhe was ecstatic to see Gu Zhao. He was just about to shout when Gu Xulin and Zhong Siqi each stomped on his foot.
He chose to shut his mouth.
Gu Jiao wasn’t very familiar with Gu Zhao to begin with, so seeing everyone else stay silent, he did too.
"Big King?" Jia Xu squinted at Gu Zhao.
Completely unfazed, Gu Zhao ran in with a huge grin and hugged Jia Xu’s thigh. "Brother!! I missed you so much!"
Gu Xulin: ????!!!!
The others: c( O.O )ɔ
Then, Zhong Siqi and the others all turned to look at Gu Xulin, their eyes filled with extraordinary pity.
’Oho... your sister has a new brother now.’
Gu Xulin’s face was cold, and his gaze toward Jia Xu was filled with killing intent!
’Trying to steal me was one thing! But now he’s trying to steal my sister too!’
’Does he have to plague my Gu Family specifically?!’
Gu Zhao, oblivious to everyone’s emotions and thoughts, clung to Jia Xu’s leg and poured out a litany of earth-shattering grievances.
"You have no idea how long I’ve been looking for you!! My legs are about to break from all the walking!" Gu Zhao looked up at Jia Xu, looking deeply wronged.
The corners of her eyes were red, but there wasn’t a single tear.
"I thought you didn’t want me anymore, WAH WAH WAH."
Being cared for so much gave Jia Xu a jolt of satisfaction, but he still frowned and asked, "Why do they call you ’Big King’? Do you know them?"
As he finished, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
Gu Zhao sniffled and let go of Jia Xu’s leg.
A trace of dissatisfaction appeared in Jia Xu’s eyes.
Gu Zhao put her hands on her hips and looked at Zhong Mingrui and Song Yi. "Why were you calling me ’Big Bastard’?!"
The others: ??
Song Yi was the first to react. He glared at Gu Zhao furiously. "You are a big bastard! You’re definitely in league with them! You’re a bad guy! I curse you to never watch Peppa Pig again!"
Zhong Mingrui was confused. ’Wasn’t it Big King?’
Gu Jiao also caught on and joined the cursing. "I curse you to have no spicy strips to eat!"
Zhong Mingrui hesitated. He didn’t want to curse Big King. If he did, what if Big King got mad and never gave him soup again?
’But all my friends are cursing her.’
’So if I praise Big King instead! Won’t I become her number one loyal subject!’
’And wouldn’t all of Big King’s soup be mine!’
Zhong Siqi’s eyelid twitched. Seeing the corner of Zhong Mingrui’s mouth curve upward, he knew exactly what the boy was plotting!
Having figured out Gu Zhao’s predicament, he immediately spoke up to interrupt Zhong Mingrui’s train of thought.
"Stay away from my little brother! You said you lost your brother, so we kindly brought you to the snowy mountain, but you lured an Arctic Bear to attack us! You made us fall into a crevasse! You’re a bad seed! Just like your brother!" Zhong Siqi berated Gu Zhao, his face contorted with anger.
Zhong Mingrui was even more confused.
Gu Zhen got it. He immediately joined the cursing brigade.
"You deserved it!" Gu Zhao tilted her chin up, looking like she couldn’t care less about any of them.
Jia Xu’s eyes lit up. ’As expected of my sister!’
He walked over to Zhong Mingrui, the only one who hadn’t cursed Gu Zhao, and crouched down. "Who is she? If you lie, I’ll turn you into a monster."
Zhong Mingrui glanced at Gu Zhao, who still wore a disdainful expression.
Gu Xulin and the others grew tense.
After all, Zhong Mingrui was only four years old.
"She’s mean! She steals my food! She owes me roast duck, braised pork ribs, teriyaki chicken, steamed prawns..." As Zhong Mingrui listed the dishes, he started drooling more and more, until he made himself cry from hunger.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile appeared on Jia Xu’s face. Jia Hua hadn’t lied to him.
"Little Flower, come here."
He beckoned to Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao ran over with a smile on her face, but inwardly she was cursing up a storm. ’Who are you calling like a dog!’
He ruffled Gu Zhao’s hair a couple of times, then looked at Gu Xulin.
Gu Xulin was grinding his teeth, his eyes red with fury.
Jia Xu just assumed they hated him and his "sister."
The two assistants looked like they wanted to speak but held back. They felt this sister who had appeared out of nowhere was very suspicious...
But they didn’t dare contradict him. The boss had a rough childhood and hated it when people questioned him...
He also enjoyed torturing people. The last person who questioned him had their limbs chopped off and was thrown out onto the snowy mountain.
’What can we do if the boss isn’t smart? His research is good, and his backer is powerful!’
’He even managed to become the head of a branch base.’
The two could only suppress their doubts, deciding to keep a close eye on her in the future.
Watching Gu Xulin’s expression put Jia Xu in an exceptionally good mood. "I’ll give you one more chance. Submit to me, and I won’t touch these three kids."
Gu Zhao: ??!!
Gu Xulin: (╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻
Gu Zhao’s expression was complicated. ’What do I do? My new brother wants my real brother.’
’In the future, who will be the brother and who will be the brother-in-law?’
Gu Zhao shook her head. How horrifying. "No! He’s too ugly! He’s not good enough for my handsome, charming, and extraordinary brother!"
Gu Xulin exploded with rage. "What do you mean I’m not good enough?! Me being with him would be like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!"
"See, brother? He said he’s the cow dung," Gu Zhao said earnestly to Jia Xu.
"So he’s too stinky to be worthy of you, my flower-like brother!"
Gu Xulin: ’AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH GU ZHAO!! One day I’m going to spank you raw!’
