Chapter 239: Mosquito Brother
Nan Yuanman remembered him; he was that strange and somewhat perverted little brother from the last family reunion banquet.
He seemed to be called Zhou something, Zhou Mosquito?
“Mosquito Brother, why are you here?” Nan Yuanman sucked on her finger and asked him curiously.
Fifth Brother said this wasn’t a place for children, so why could Mosquito Brother come?
Mosquito Brother?
Zhou Wenxuan’s mouth twitched slightly: “My name is Zhou Wenxuan, not Zhou Mosquito.”
“Oh, Mosquito Brother.”
Zhou Wenxuan: “…” Whatever, she could call him whatever she wanted; it was just a name.
He gave up correcting Nan Yuanman, pointed to the Zhou family couple not far away chatting with friends, and said, “My father and mother came out for a party with friends and brought me along. Sister Yuanman, why are you here?”
“Oh, my brother came out to play with friends and brought me along by the way.” Nan Yuanman made up a random excuse.
She clapped her hands, not planning to continue chatting with Zhou Wenxuan, ready to say goodbye to him and find Fifth Brother, but suddenly heard Zhou Wenxuan mysteriously ask her: “Sister Yuanman, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?”
Nan Yuanman paused, abruptly turning back to look at him. Zhou Wenxuan sneakily glanced around left and right, leaned close to her ear, and whispered: “I discovered that on our family’s refrigerator, there are two little villains!”
Nan Yuanman was silent for a few seconds, looked down and pressed a few times on her watch, then showed him the pattern on the watch: “What you saw, it wouldn’t be these two little villains, right?”
The pattern was two little figures, one black and one white, with their arms around each other’s shoulders, with two big characters beside them—Haier.
Zhou Wenxuan’s eyes sparkled as he looked at her: “Sister Yuanman, you’re so amazing! How did you know?”
Nan Yuanman: “…”
How did she know? When she was three, Grandpa took her to help solve a problem for a wealthy household in the village, and she had said the same thing to Grandpa, which ended up causing a huge misunderstanding.
However…
Nan Yuanman furrowed her little brows, rubbed her chin, and sized up Zhou Wenxuan. Why did she feel that this perverted brother she met this time seemed not as clever as the one from the last family reunion banquet?
It was just like… he had been replaced.
But if he had been replaced, how could he have memories from the family reunion banquet?
Zhou Wenxuan felt shy from Nan Yuanman’s stare. He fidgeted with his fingers and hesitantly said: “Sister Yuanman, why are you looking at me like that? M-My mom says if a girl looks at me like this, she wants to marry me. Do you want to marry me?”
It wouldn’t be impossible either; Sister Yuanman was so cute and beautiful, exactly like in his dreams, and he also really wanted such a pretty wife.
Feng Yanxiu had just finished the phone call and upon returning heard a pig trying to dig up his family’s cabbage. His face instantly darkened, and with cold ruthlessness, he broke up the pair: “She doesn’t want to.”
He picked Nan Yuanman up from the ground in one swoop and gave Zhou Wenxuan a death stare: “Don’t even think about it. Our family’s Yuanman will never marry you.”
Zhou Wenxuan fearfully shrank his neck, his mouth flattening, eyes instantly reddening.
Feng Yanxiu: “…” About to cry after just a couple words—this level of resilience was even less worthy of their family’s Yuanman!
“Fifth Brother, you’re done with the phone call.” Nan Yuanman stealthily wiped her oily paws on his expensive shirt, grinning as she said goodbye to Zhou Wenxuan: “I’m heading off first. See you, Mosquito Brother.”
“Hey! Yuanman! Can I come find you to play tomorrow?” Seeing Nan Yuanman about to leave, Zhou Wenxuan couldn’t care less about being afraid of Feng Yanxiu and hesitantly asked.
Nan Yuanman tilted her little head: “Depends on if I’m busy tomorrow. If not, you can come find me to play.”
“Yay! Then I’ll have Mom contact you.” Zhou Wenxuan clenched his little fist in a small cheer, eagerly waving goodbye to Nan Yuanman.
Feng Yanxiu kept a cold face as he carried Nan Yuanman away from this place with a pig.
Nan Yuanman hugged Feng Yanxiu’s neck and whispered in his ear: “Fifth Brother, this Mosquito Brother seems to have some issues with his brain. He doesn’t look too smart, so don’t stoop to his level!”
This Zhou Mosquito gave her too strange a feeling. To avoid her brothers thinking she was deliberately contacting him, better to cut it off at the root.
Feng Yanxiu, however, misunderstood her words. Feeling a bit hurt inside, he looked at her, pursed his lips, and asked: “Defending your new friend so quickly? Don’t want Brother anymore?”
Nan Yuanman: “?” Who? Who was her new friend? Mosquito Brother?
“Of course not!” Nan Yuanman retorted: “He’s not my new friend!”
As Nan Yuanman bickered noisily with Feng Yanxiu while leaving, Zhou Wenxuan stared at her back, a flash of ferocity crossing his face extremely quickly, his originally fairly clear eyes gradually becoming profound.
Zhou Wenxuan covered his face, and after a long while, he tsked: “As expected of the Ominous Star, truly perceptive.”
Last time, he had only revealed a tiny bit of his true nature in front of her, and she had almost noticed something was off.
This time, to approach her, he had been extremely cautious, letting that fool out to act cute and endearing in front of her, to gain another chance to get close.
But no matter. As long as he could achieve his goal, it was fine to let that fool out to act cute.
“Master…” A faint child’s voice sounded in his ear. A red thread invisible to ordinary people drilled into his palm at extreme speed: “That trash Old Ghost Li was killed by Nan Yuanman. I timely devoured his soul, so he didn’t reveal any secrets.”
“But my true body is destroyed because of it. Master, I need a new vessel.”
“Master, her strength is very strong. The most powerful magic tool on her is a red small coffin. As long as that small coffin is destroyed, she’ll have nothing to rely on, and killing her will be easy.”
After she finished speaking, Zhou Wenxuan calmly said: “I understand. You rest well first. I’ll arrange for someone to destroy her magic tool.”
“Mm-hmm~ Master, I miss you so much~ Once I control the entire Jiang family, can I return to your side?” The child’s voice coquettishly wheedled softly.
“Just the Jiang family alone isn’t enough. I need you to… control the economic lifeline of the entire S City. Zhen Zhen, you can do it, right?”
Zhou Wenxuan’s voice was gentle.
The child voice giggled: “Of course! Then Master just wait! I’ll definitely do it. Master also has to help me kill Nan Yuanman to avenge the destruction of my true body!”
That damn little ghost—if she hadn’t out-of-body possessed Jiang Xinxin’s body ahead of time, she really would have died at her hands!
“Rest assured.” Zhou Wenxuan nodded slightly: “Anything in the way, I will thoroughly eliminate bit by bit.”
–
Nan Yuanman didn’t need to worry about tying up loose ends. That evening after returning home, she washed up and fell fast asleep.
Feng Jingcheng told her about the follow-up.
Apparently, after Liu Hui woke up and found Zheng Zi’ang completely dead, she went mad, shouting nonstop that the Feng family members had to pay with their lives and that Feng Jingcheng had to compensate her for her son.
The Zheng family members also demanded that the Feng family give them an explanation.
However, what arrived before the Feng family’s explanation was the 908 arrest list.
The 908 people only took one night to settle all the illegal businesses the Zheng family had been running in the shadows.
The Zheng family members, who had been jumping around, instantly quieted down, not daring to fart, let alone demand an explanation.
“However, that Zhong Xueliu had a message for you. She said she asked Liu Hui what the drug was that she got from Old Ghost Li to bring Zheng Zi’ang back to life.”
Feng Jingcheng said: “The name of that drug is Lingzhi.”
