Chapter 135: Today’s Stinky Treasure
Gu Zhao: ?!!
’So arrogant!’
’Fine. I’ll give you what you want.’
She quickly ran into the middle of the large men, jumped twice, and... couldn’t reach.
Feng Jiexu let out a cruel laugh.
"HAHAHAHAHA, I told you you were a shorty, and you wouldn’t even listen."
The Arctic Bear was not pleased. This naked man actually dared to laugh at its Xiangxiang!
’How outrageous!’
It glanced at the large men, took aim, and WHOOSH.
Feng Jiexu stopped laughing.
The Arctic Bear had used him as a projectile to hit people.
Two of the large men were hit. "AHHHH, Boss! You’re not my type!!"
"My innocence!"
Feng Jiexu’s face darkened. "Shut up!"
Gu Zhao silently gave the bear a thumbs-up.
The Arctic Bear held Gu Zhao with one arm while knocking down opponents with the other, as the other animals pounced and attacked.
It even brought Gu Zhao right up to an opponent’s face, letting her knock the man out.
The large man looked at the child whose face was about to be pressed against his, silently turned his head to the side, and blushed.
’Ahhh, so cute!!!!’
Gu Zhao fell silent for a few seconds before silently extending her small hand under the Arctic Bear’s loving gaze.
PAT.
The large man collapsed.
Thanks to the bear’s considerate "face-to-face care," Gu Zhao knocked out several more men.
Hearing the commotion outside, Gu Xulin and the others immediately pushed aside the equipment and opened the door.
The first thing they saw was a pile of unconscious men and Gu Zhao being held in the bear’s arms.
"Gu Xiao Zhao, so you decided to show up. I thought you were going to hide in a trash can for half the day." Gu Xulin stepped forward and snatched Gu Zhao from the Arctic Bear’s arms.
The Arctic Bear was reluctant, but this was Xiangxiang’s brother.
With its cub gone, it ran to the side, picked up Feng Jiexu, and hugged him tightly.
It was venting its dissatisfaction.
Feng Jiexu was utterly speechless. ’Stupid bear! I’ll beat you up sooner or later.’
He struggled with all his might.
Gu Xulin held Gu Zhao with one hand, keeping her far away from himself. "You stink. Don’t get me dirty."
The moment she heard that, Gu Zhao’s face broke into a mischievous grin. With the corners of her lips curled up, she deliberately put on a cutesy voice and tried to snuggle into his arms. "Brother~ Brother~ My dear brother~"
"Gu Xiao Zhao, don’t move!! You’re filthy!"
"Brother, how could you be disgusted with me! My heart is colder than Arctic snow now. So cold."
The corners of Gu Huaiyan’s lips turned up, his eyes full of affection as he watched the two of them bicker.
Suddenly, the corners of Gu Xulin’s mouth lifted. Gu Zhao’s eyes met his, and the two came to a silent, mutual understanding.
The next second, Gu Xulin shoved Gu Zhao directly into Gu Huaiyan’s arms, and Gu Zhao immediately wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and started rubbing against him.
"Hehe, Third Brother~"
Gu Huaiyan caught a whiff of a sour, stinky smell. He paused for a few seconds, then held Gu Zhao with a blank expression.
Seeing this, Zhong Mingrui looked at Zhong Siqi. "Brother, look at their brother! Big King stinks, but he’s still holding her so tight."
"I just threw up a little, and you wanted to throw me away."
His face was full of accusation.
Zhong Siqi sighed. "Be good. Don’t make random comparisons."
"You’ll find that you can’t compare."
Zhong Mingrui sulked.
"Bro..." Song Yi also looked curiously at his brother.
Song Zhe smiled and covered his mouth. "Don’t get your hopes up about my luck. If anything, I’d be the one ending up in the trash can."
Song Yi fell silent. ’I would definitely be disgusted with my brother if that happened,’ he thought.
Gu Jiao was staring curiously at the person being held by the Arctic Bear.
"The little bear is hugging him too tightly, I can’t see," Gu Zhen said, the corners of her mouth lifting as she watched without blinking.
Gu Jiao nodded. "Sister, it looks like he has those abs you like."
The man being hugged, Feng Jiexu, struggled to speak. "Can you... stop reminiscing for a second...?"
"Oh, it can talk."
Gu Jiao watched, resting her chin on her hand.
Gu Huaiyan stiffly turned his head and immediately saw the man who was about to be squeezed into a meat patty by the bear.
"Feng Jiexu?" he asked in confusion.
Gu Zhao suddenly had a very bad feeling...
Gu Huaiyan didn’t say any more. Instead, he looked at Gu Xulin. "You guys go lock these people up first."
Gu Xulin nodded and was about to take Gu Zhao, but was interrupted by Feng Jiexu’s voice.
"Leave Gu Zhao with me!" he said, grinding his teeth.
Gu Xulin frowned.
"Go on ahead, you guys," Gu Zhao said. She was also curious about the relationship between her third brother and the big villain.
The rest of the group departed, dragging the large men away in pairs. The animals also formed teams of two to haul the men off.
Only the big bear and the three of them remained in the hallway.
Gu Huaiyan looked at the person in the big bear’s arms. "Maybe we should let him catch his breath first?"
Gu Zhao waved her hand. The big bear reluctantly let the man go again, then went to face the wall and ponder its actions.
Finally able to breathe freely, Feng Jiexu took several deep breaths.
"How did you..." Gu Huaiyan frowned as he took in the... provocative way he was tied up, and silently covered Gu Zhao’s eyes.
Seeing his action, Feng Jiexu laughed out loud. "Why are you covering her eyes? This is her masterpiece."
"Look at how your younger brother is raising this kid! He’s turned a perfectly good child into a little pervert."
Gu Huaiyan pressed his lips together, his expression strange.
Gu Zhao pulled her third brother’s hand away and snorted coldly at Feng Jiexu. "Well, you’re no good person either, talking bad about my third brother behind his back."
The two of them started bickering.
Gu Huaiyan couldn’t get a word in. He silently decided to mute himself.
He covered Gu Zhao’s mouth with his hand and soothed her gently, "Be good. He’s a bad guy, so we won’t play with him."
Gu Zhao seized the opportunity to ask, "Is he really a bad guy? Or an undercover agent? His aura doesn’t seem like it."
"And he has tattoos. He looks like a bad guy at first glance."
Gu Huaiyan shook his head; he didn’t know either. "I don’t know his identity. But he has helped me pass on messages a few times, and he’s warned me a few times as well."
Feng Jiexu laughed in exasperation. "So having tattoos makes me a bad guy? Gu Xiao Zhao, you’ve just broken a good man’s heart!"
Gu Zhao struggled out of her third brother’s arms. As soon as she was away, Gu Huaiyan secretly took a deep breath of fresh air.
Gu Zhao walked over to Feng Jiexu, squatted down, and carefully examined his body.
Feng Jiexu felt very uncomfortable. He looked at Gu Huaiyan and yelled, "Gu Huaiyan, aren’t you going to control this little pervert?"
"Your tattoo is fading..." Gu Zhao observed.
There was a second of silence. "Impossible! The seller said it was long-lasting and wouldn’t fade!"
Gu Zhao reached out and rubbed it, and half of the tattoo vanished.
She looked at the big bear and, sure enough, there were flakes from the tattoo stuck to the fur on its chest.
"It’s fake."
"Why didn’t you get a real one?"
"I’m not an idiot. That would hurt so much."
"You’re scared of pain?"
"Duh. Only an idiot wouldn’t be scared of pain."
The two went back and forth until Feng Jiexu shifted away from her.
"You’re stinky. You’re kind of making it hard for me to breathe."
Gu Zhao: ...
She turned and walked away. The tiny bit of friendship they had just built was completely gone.
Gu Huaiyan stepped forward and asked Gu Zhao, "Zhaozhao, can we untie him?"
Gu Zhao nodded. She knew what her third brother was worried about. If he really was an undercover agent, it would be inconvenient for him to be seen when the rescue team arrived.
Gu Huaiyan untied him. Since his clothes were gone, Feng Jiexu folded a bedsheet and tied it around his waist, then draped another one over his shoulders.
And thus, a historical drama heartthrob was born.
「Meanwhile.」
Halfway there, Gu Xulin’s group ran into Gu Yunqi’s group.
"Second Brother!" Gu Xulin was incredibly moved to see his family.
"What happened to you?" Seeing Gu Xulin’s disheveled state, Gu Yunqi grew angry, his grip on his fountain pen tightening.
Without hesitation, Gu Xulin launched into a full report, tattling on who was responsible.
He recounted everything Ye Zuiyi had done, adding plenty of fuel to the fire.
A smile touched Gu Yunqi’s lips, but his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Mm, go and rest. I’ll take care of the Ye Family."
"They don’t know what’s good for them."
Gu Xulin was about to leave, but then he stopped. "Oh, right, Second Brother! We found Third Brother!"
Gu Yunqi’s body trembled, and he whipped his head around to look at Gu Xulin.
"Really? Where is he...?" His voice was hoarse.
