Chapter 1193: Zhouzhou’s Counterattack
Divine Thunder said, "Do you think this test is about whether you can save Xi Mo? In reality, it's about whether you will pocket the ransom money."
At this point, it seemed a little pleased with itself. It know her well enough, didn't it? A small money-grubber like her wouldn't just let go of any money in her hands. She was just like a little glutton! This time, it was certain she wouldn't win.

It had finally recovered from the upset Zhouzhou caused earlier, and now Divine Thunder felt quite pleased.
However, it then saw Zhouzhou standing there with a calm expression, not even a hint of frustration on her face, and it became confused. What was going on? Was she pretending?
It reminded her again, "Zhouzhou, if you fail this test, you'll never have the chance to live a life of a rich woman."
"I know," Zhouzhou nodded, grinning widely. She shook her phone and, right in front of Divine Thunder, made a call, saying loudly, "Hello, Mr. Qi, it's Zhouzhou. Can you tell me how much money is in the card you gave me?"
Qi Yue replied, "What money? Didn't you say I just needed to give you an empty card? What's going on? Did you really use money to ransom Xi Mo?"
"Of course not! If I did that, how would my uncle ever face anyone?"
Xi Mo silently nodded in agreement. He could be a meat shield or jerky, but never a ransom ticket.
So when Zhouzhou came, she hadn't planned to bring money for the ransom, and she didn't need to.
She buys goods, but never pays for them.
"You didn't..." Divine Thunder stared at her in confusion. It had clearly heard her tell Qi Yue to prepare money.
Zhouzhou understood its thoughts and nodded, saying, "That's right, but how could Mr. Qi have so much money? I just told him to bring an empty card."
As for why she sent the message, well, it was to prevent them from hearing about it.
Zhouzhou had anticipated all of this from the start. Since she knew it was a test, how could she not prepare for it?
Divine Thunder nearly exploded with anger, crackling with electric sparks. "So, you've been acting all this time?"
She had Cyril call Qi Yue, and Divine Thunder had really thought she was pocketing the money!
Ugh, so infuriating!
In the clouds, Divine Thunder was stunned. How had it been outplayed like this? It had been so confident earlier, now it just felt embarrassed and wanted to hide.
It had always been the one messing with mortals, but now it was the mortal who had tricked them.
Such a humiliation. It was an unprecedented disgrace!
On the side, Ye Lingfeng was casually snacking on sunflower seeds, with a smile on his face. He had told them that his daughter was no ordinary person, but they hadn't believed him. Well, what could you do?
Zhouzhou stood with her hands behind her back, her smile fading slightly as she became serious. "Mr. Divine Thunder, I don't mind whatever test you throw at me, but you cannot harm the lives of my uncle and the others."
"Have you ever considered that if Cyril really kills my uncle, your hands will be stained with blood? How could you still call yourselves Divine Thunder?"
By the end, her tone grew heavy.
She did want to change her bad luck and become a little rich woman, but she would never step on her family's blood and bones to get there.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Divine Thunder sighed. "Fine, fine, I didn't think it through. I won't do it again next time."
That's more like it.
Zhouzhou's face softened a little as she smiled at it and said, "Mr. Divine Thunder, use all your tricks, I'm sure I can pass this test."
After all, it was clear from the first round that their IQ wasn't very high.
Sure, they had been around for a long time, but their role was only to carry out the final judgment. What they did best was simply strike people with lightning, something that didn't require much brainpower.
She wasn't blaming them for not being able to come up with any clever strategies.
She looked at Divine Thunder sympathetically and even gave it a comforting look, which only made Divine Thunder more annoyed.
It was both angry and embarrassed.
No one could irritate them like this. But strangely, everything Zhouzhou said was valid. Divine Thunder huffed indignantly and flew away, unhappy.
This girl was indeed its nemesis.
Zhouzhou watched as it flew off and couldn't help but sigh. After all these years, how come Mr. Divine Thunder never learned her cleverness? It was so foolish.
Xi Mo, watching her, couldn't help but laugh. "You're impressive."
Only she would dare to tease Divine Thunder like that. Throughout history, everyone had respected it, but not her. She was a little devil, still daring to mock them.
Zhouzhou snorted, "It was Mr. Divine Thunder who picked on me first, wasn't it? We've been friends for so many years, and it was really unfair of it to do that."
She wrinkled her nose, looking displeased.
But thinking about it, she realized Divine Thunder did this for her to have a chance at changing her bad luck, so she couldn't complain too much.
She helped Xi Mo and the others onto the plane and double-checked them. There was no major problem, except for...
Zhouzhou touched Xi Mo's singed hair and said, "Uncle, you'll have to shave it all off."
As soon as she said it, a grin spread across her face.
Finally, she wasn't the only one who had her head shaved by lightning!
The mischievous gleam in her eyes told Xi Mo that she had no good intentions.
Xi Mo's lips twitched. He poked her forehead without much enthusiasm. "This is all your fault, little ungrateful one."
Zhouzhou quickly flashed a sweet smile and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, I'll make you some hair tonic so your hair grows back quickly. You won't stay bald for long."
But of course, she would be taking a picture of his bald head!
She was going to blackmail him into treating her to meals with that picture.
Her little schemes were written all over her face, and Xi Mo, feeling defeated, leaned back in his chair, not wanting to talk to her anymore.
What a troublesome kid. Whoever wants her can take her away!
Seeing their gloomy expressions, Zhouzhou patted her chest and generously said, "I'll pay for the head-shaving. I'll treat you all!"
So, after getting off the plane, when they passed a street-side barber, Zhouzhou stopped and led them to line up for a haircut.
Originally, it was ten yuan per person, but she bargained it down to five.
Xi Mo stood there with a dark face. Look at this! Look at this! Their uncle-niece bond was worth only five yuan!
He was utterly defeated.
He couldn't help but roll his eyes. For the first time, he really wanted to hit Zhouzhou.
Too bad, he never hit her when she was little. Now, he was a little scared to hit her.
He regretted it!
He couldn't stop himself from saying it aloud, and Zhouzhou's eyes immediately went wide. Then her eyes reddened, and she tearfully said, "So this is it? Uncle doesn't love me anymore!"
She was acting so pitiful, rubbing her eyes hard with her back turned.
She looked very sad.
Xi Mo reflected on his words and wondered if he had gone too far. After all, he did care about Zhouzhou. He couldn't stand her crying, so he hurried to comfort her. "Don't cry, I'll take you to eat."
Zhouzhou kept crying.
"Fine, fine, I'll treat you to meals for the next month."
"Deal!" Zhouzhou's head snapped up, and not a single tear was left on her face.
Xi Mo: "..."
Whoever wants a scheming niece like Zhouzhou can taker her away!
