After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1201: Sound Isolation
Qin Lie made a decisive move without hesitation. He immediately took out his phone and snapped a photo of Ye Lingfeng.
The photo focused clearly on his tears, capturing every detail.
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, "Zhouzhou, how much do you think this photo would sell if it were to be leaked?"
At this, Zhouzhou could even see the corners of Ye Lingfeng's mouth twitching. She couldn't help but give Qin Lie an admiring glance.
"Impressive, only he could pull this off!"
Of course. Qin Lie remained calm and composed, not showing a hint of arrogance.
When it came to Ye Lingfeng, Qin Lie had him exactly where he wanted him. He knew precisely where to strike. All the anger-inducing tasks were his specialty. In the past, he had to consider Zhouzhou's feelings, so he couldn't fully unleash his tactics.
But now, he was finally free to let loose. Ye Lingfeng had no ability to resist. Even if he woke up later, he would owe Qin Lie his life.
Qin Lie felt a wave of satisfaction as he thought to himself: with this, Ye Lingfeng would never have the upper hand again!
Feeling relieved, Qin Lie thought to himself how good it felt. Meanwhile, Ye Lingfeng was shaking with rage.
"Alright, alright, so the fox's tail has finally been exposed!" Ye Lingfeng fumed. "I knew he wasn't a good person!"
What was even more infuriating was Zhouzhou's words. "We won't sell it. We'll keep it as leverage to blackmail Sharp Tongue Daddy. He had a lot of money. If he doesn't pay, we'll release it. He's so proud, he'll definitely pay up."
"Let's make a few more copies. If he deletes one, we'll have backups. And once we've drained him, we can sell it to others, like Mr. Qi from the Fourth Bureau, Uncle Ma, or Stinky Little Brother. They'd love to see Sharp Tongue Daddy's embarrassment. They'll definitely pay for it."
How ruthless!
It had to be her.
Even Ancestral Master couldn't take it anymore.
"Listen to them, is this even human behavior? Do they want to kill Ye Lingfeng while he's unconscious and leave just the two of them?"
Qin Lie gave Zhouzhou an approving look. She was indeed brilliant; this assist was top-notch.
Zhouzhou continued, "If we go ahead with this, Sharp Tongue Daddy will probably beat us up. But don't worry, one slap from him and we'll just fall to the ground. We'll extort some money from him, live comfortably, and then when we're broke, we'll go back to him for more."
Ye Lingfeng: "..."
Good grief. For a moment, Ye Lingfeng wondered if he was even human anymore.
He was just an automatic teller machine!
How else could he be so easily fleeced?
And what was even worse, she was so kind-hearted—after milking him, she even planned to comfort him so he'd give them more wool to fleece, ensuring father and daughter stayed on good terms.
"Alright, alright."
He could only laugh bitterly at this point, shaking with rage but letting out a laugh instead.
Ancestral Master looked at him with sympathy. This was it. He had lost it.
"Don't get too angry. Otherwise, it'll only be them who benefit," he tried to console him.
But Ye Lingfeng gritted his teeth and retorted, "Fine, let me just hang myself to cheer them up then!"
Ancestral Master: "... Well, he's totally lost it."
If Ye Lingfeng could return to his normal state, Ancestral Master would've suggested he cut ties with his daughter.
What kind of daughter was this? Sure, he knew she was a master manipulator, but he never imagined that she would be this ruthless. For her and Qin Lie to live well, she was willing to push her biological father aside without a second thought.
It was heartbreaking. So heartbreaking.
Ye Lingfeng felt like he had wasted his whole life.
He might as well have followed Yaya and escaped all this! At least he wouldn't have to endure this little ungrateful brat's cruelty.
Feeling wronged, tears streamed down his face. He no longer cared about them taking embarrassing photos of him.
At this point, he had given up on ever waking up.
Let them have their way!
In the future, Zhouzhou would only be Qin Lie's daughter, and that was all. Wasn't that enough for them?
Zhouzhou had been watching Ye Lingfeng closely. When she saw his mouth move, she thought he was about to say something, but then, his face became blank and he just kept crying.
She felt a sense of unease. She wondered if they had gone too far and pushed him too hard.
Had they really made him so upset that he might not wake up?
Worried, Zhouzhou quickly ran over to the bed and gently wiped his tears. Her heart ached as she gazed at him, no longer able to keep pushing him.
"Dad," she whispered, bending down and cradling his head. She gently nuzzled her face against his and spoke softly in his ear, "I was lying, Dad. I love you the most."
Her voice was quiet, and she wasn't sure if he could hear her.
But after she finished speaking, she noticed that he stopped crying, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
High in the clouds, Ye Lingfeng burst out laughing. With his hands on his hips, he looked full of pride and satisfaction, "I knew it! This is my daughter! How could she not love me? She said it herself—I'm her favorite!"
Ancestral Master watched him, unable to continue cracking his sunflower seeds.
He looked at Divine Thunder in horror, hoping it might take him away.
"Can you let me go now?" Ancestral Master begged silently.
Ye Lingfeng was clearly losing his mind, and Ancestral Master could feel it. It was unnerving.
He shuddered at the thought of being trapped here with Ye Lingfeng, who kept switching between crying and laughing. It didn't seem normal at all.
He had no idea what sin he had committed to be stuck with him.
It was seriously scary.

Qin Lie also noticed the small movement at the corners of Ye Lingfeng's mouth. It wasn't much, but he was sure he hadn't imagined it.
He gritted his teeth. He knew Ye Lingfeng was scheming too. That whole crying scene was probably just an act, knowing Zhouzhou wouldn't really ignore him.
They both had their little schemes, didn't they?
Qin Lie rolled his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Zhouzhou would be heartbroken if he got hurt, he'd honestly want to play dirty and keep Ye Lingfeng in bed longer.
He was angry. He should never have come up with this plan in the first place. Now that Ye Lingfeng was awake, he'd have to compete for Zhouzhou's attention again.
He didn't care about owing him his life. All he cared about was having his daughter to himself.
Unfortunately, it was too late for all of that.
He could only tell himself that all of this was to keep him from collapsing from anger.
A sweet word now, but the slaps would come later. He could wait for it.
No rush. Plenty of time.
With that thought, he finally calmed himself down.
Suddenly, Divine Thunder floated over, landing above Zhouzhou's head.
"Did you do something?" it asked, its eyes fixed on her.
Zhouzhou blinked innocently. "What could I possibly do?"
Divine Thunder stared at her, silent. It didn't know what she had done, but it could tell from her expression that she was up to no good.
It wasn't stupid.
Without warning, it flew up into the clouds and isolated the sound around them.
No matter what they were doing, without sound, it couldn't be used against them.
Ye Lingfeng, realizing he couldn't hear anything anymore, exploded in anger.
"What's going on? What are you two doing behind my back?!"
"Is this that scheming bastard's doing? Trying to keep me from hearing, so you can steal my daughter away while I'm out of it?"
"I knew it! He's no good!"
