Chapter 159: Ye Zexi Went Mad
Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Ye Zexi Went Mad
"Woke up this morn to gather dung~"
"Came back home, my woman was gone~"
Everyone on the snowy mountain was lazing about. Gu Zhao, a pack on her back, sat on One-Eye’s back.
She was humming a little tune.
One-Eye’s ears drooped, trying to block its own damn ears.
A few penguins led the way up front, their steps swift.
They occasionally glanced at One-Eye, their eyes filled with envy.
Why didn’t they have big ears to block their earholes!
As for the people behind them, they had already plugged their ears before Gu Zhao even opened her mouth.
Gu Zhao didn’t know. She was immersed in her own singing.
"I searched the south yard~ then looked in the north!"
She was brimming with confidence.
But not a single line was on-key, and she had even started improvising her own melody.
Fortunately, they soon reached the seashore.
The surface of the sea was covered in large sheets of floating ice. The water was a deep, tranquil blue, its waves calm.
On a few of the ice floes were some fluffy white animals.
Gu Zhao looked at the sea. "Is this the place?"
The lead penguin nodded. "That’s right, that’s right! A few big, fat fish gave us a lot of fish and asked us to help give them to Xiangxiang."
"The fish we brought back were from them."
"They’re so big and fat. I bet they’d be delicious."
The penguins gulped.
Gu Xulin looked at the surface of the sea, a little doubtful. ’Could there really be Tiger Whales here?’
After they finished eating the grilled fish, a few penguins told Gu Zhao that some big, fat fish were looking for Xiangxiang Baby.
Their Arctic journey was only for a day, so after some thought, they decided to have a farewell party with the animals.
Gu Jiao stood on her tiptoes to look. "Where are they?"
"Maybe they’re eating," Zhong Mingrui said. He had a very good impression of the Tiger Whales, especially after learning the fish they ate had come from them.
"Look over there!" Song Zhe pointed into the distance.
A few Tiger Whales came swimming over, splashing through the waves.
"Sister, Sister, Sisss~" Tiger Whale Number One rushed to be the first to swim to Gu Zhao’s feet.
"Xiangxiang Baby~ I’m not thick-skinned like the others, coming empty-handed. I brought a gift!" The Tiger Whale that Gu Zhao recognized as the child-snatcher dove underwater and came up with a huge clam in its mouth.
"You scheming whale! We object! Let’s get him!" The other Tiger Whales immediately started shoving it.
"You’re playing dirty!" the Tiger Whale struggled.
"Playing dirty?! Eat Devil Fish poop!" the other Tiger Whales shouted, immediately pushing it under the sea.
The attention of Gu Zhao and the others was completely captivated by the clam.
"Can you eat this?" Zhong Mingrui asked curiously.
Zhong Siqi was perfectly calm. "Why don’t you stick your hand in and find out."
"It probably wants to ask the same question. Go ahead and demonstrate for it."
Zhong Mingrui was just about to try when he saw Gu Zhao stick a tree branch inside.
The clam immediately snapped shut on it.
The branch broke.
Zhong Mingrui was stunned. "Brother! I want to get it inlaid on my teeth!"
Zhong Siqi: ???
’This isn’t right, is it? Shouldn’t you be angry at me for tricking you right now?’
Zhong Mingrui’s eyes were greedy. "It’s so hard! If I had this, my bite force would be amazing even if I didn’t brush my teeth!"
"After all, it’s never brushed its teeth!"
Zhong Siqi: ...
’Whatever. As long as you’re happy.’
Gu Zhao rubbed her hands together and went over, about to pry the clam open, but she paused the second before she acted.
"Stop fighting~ I like all of you."
"You’re the cutest, most amazing babies~" Gu Zhao shouted to the Tiger Whales.
The Tiger Whales instantly grew bashful and swam over.
Seeing this, Gu Zhao immediately asked them to help open the clam.
The moment the Tiger Whales heard that, they grabbed the clam and took off.
Gu Zhao: ???
[Did the Tiger Whales see through Gu Zhao’s scheme? Did they run away?]
[It’s not that simple.]
[What a huge clam! Does the Arctic really have these things??!]
The departed Tiger Whales were at the bottom of the sea, throwing the clam against rocks, but it wouldn’t open.
One Tiger Whale pondered for two seconds, then left.
A moment later, it returned, chasing a sea elephant.
After the Tiger Whales saw the sea elephant’s tusks: HEH HEH HEH.
The sea elephant: ...
Finally, the clam was opened.
The Tiger Whale with child-snatching experience snatched the clam and took off.
The other sea whales immediately gave chase.
Leaving a single sea elephant behind, rubbing its tusks and whimpering.
Gu Zhao was very excited to see them return, especially when she saw the opened clam.
The instant she got the clam, she showed it to the drone and said, "They’re the ones who did it~ So if this is a protected species, it has nothing to do with me~"
Gu Xulin was instantly speechless.
’So the Tiger Whales bear the guilt, and you alone enjoy the spoils.’
Prying open the clam, she felt the flesh and touched something round. She took it out.
It was a blue pearl.
"Wow! It’s so beautiful!" Gu Zhen’s eyes were full of adoration.
Gu Jiao also stared at it without blinking.
Only Zhong Mingrui was hugging the clam shells, grinning happily.
[Oh my god, that color! That luster! It’s top-grade!!]
[I’m a college student! Monkey King, give it to me!!]
[I’ll offer a hundred thousand! Can I buy it!]
[To the person above, forget money, let’s just go rob her. An offer of one hundred thousand is no different from robbing her anyway.]
[I’ll bid one million!]
[Everyone’s bidding? Then I’ll join! I bid ten million! Game coins.]
「The Gu Family Estate.」
Gu Yunqi, who was still investigating the annihilation of the Ye Family, inexplicably received a bunch of phone calls from people trying to stir up trouble or just "touch base."
"Did Gu Zhao cause trouble again?"
Gu Yunqi frowned.
He now felt that Gu Zhao was his personal jinx.
As soon as she returned, his workload skyrocketed.
Gu Huaiyan had also stopped watching the live stream. He was swamped. The ones who moved against the Ye Family were definitely *them*!
The fact that they could wipe out the Ye Family so promptly meant they knew what had happened.
They were paying attention to Ye Kui.
So what about Gu Zhao...
Now that they’ve made a move, Gu Zhao was in even more danger.
Because he had no idea how much they knew...
"We have to go get our little sister back!" Gu Huaiyan said anxiously.
"It’s not time yet," Gu Yunqi said, perfectly calm.
"She can’t be locked up at home for her entire life, but those people might watch her for her entire life."
"If we don’t eliminate them, Gu Zhao has no future."
Gu Huaiyan got a little angry. "So you mean to use our little sister as bait?!"
Gu Yunqi nodded.
"I don’t agree!" Gu Huaiyan was adamant. "She’s only five years old! She shouldn’t be taking such a risk! Besides, we’re still alive! How can we let her take the lead on this!"
"Big Brother, what do you say!" Gu Huaiyan tried to get an ally.
But no one answered him.
’A disappearing Big Brother, a heartless Second Brother!’
Gu Huaiyan’s heart was broken.
"In any case, I don’t agree!"
"Mm," Gu Yunqi said flatly. "Protest denied."
...
「In front of the helicopter on the snowy mountain.」
Ye Zexi was filled with resentment, while Ye Kui, beside him, was perfectly calm.
"When we get back, you’d better be ready to face my wrath! I’ll make your life in the Ye Family especially... *comfortable*!"
Ye Zexi ground out the last few words through clenched teeth.
Ye Kui remained calm.
Meanwhile, the pilot at their side looked at them with an expression of sympathy.
He had just scrolled past the news of the Ye Family’s annihilation.
"Sigh."
’Life is so unpredictable.’
"What do you mean by that! Are you laughing at me too?! I’m the second young master of the Ye Family!" Ye Zexi now felt that everyone was looking at him strangely.
How dare they mock him, gossip about him! He was the second young master of the Ye Family!
He wasn’t an illegitimate son! That was just Ye Kui and Gu Zhao trying to ruin him! They were lying!!
"Watch it, or I’ll make you lose your job!" Ye Zexi threatened.
The pilot already despised the Ye siblings. He was a bona fide Monkey Soldier!
"Hah. Your family’s been wiped out. You should cherish Ye Kui. She might be the only family you have left."
"You’re full of shit! With a single word, I can make your whole family lose their jobs!"
The pilot thoughtfully presented him with the news article.
When Ye Zexi saw the headline, his vision went black. "No... This is fake!"
"It’s fake!!" He reached out to grab the phone.
The pilot immediately pulled it back. "Damn, I paid money for this!"
"No... NONONONO! This is fake!! All of you are fake! You’re lying to me! Don’t you dare try to lie to me!"
"You’re all actors hired by Gu Zhao!"
"You can’t fool me! Gu Zhao... Where’s Gu Zhao? Where’s my sister?"
"My sister is Gu Zhao! No... Gu Zhao, go to hell!"
Ye Zexi went crazy, jumping and flailing his arms and legs around.
One moment he was crying, the next he was laughing.
Ye Kui looked on, baffled. ’Do fools always have to put on such a show?’
