Gu Ziyu had simple intentions to solve the pressing issue at hand, but little did he know that it would lead to so many complications. He wasn’t someone who had grown up in a communal environment, so naturally, he couldn’t anticipate all these intricacies.

“How is it so complicated?”

“Baby, you’re still young, and you haven’t had much exposure to people. You’ll understand in time,” Chen Liangdong said. “By the way, did Gu Ci agree to lend it?”

“My sister said if you agree, she’ll lend it.”

Chen Liangdong nodded. “She’s quite clever, knowing 1 would refuse and sending me to teach you.”

Gu Ziyu was puzzled. “Why didn’t she just say it directly?”

Chen Liangdong chuckled. “If I say it, you’ll remember it better. After all, we’re in the same system.”

“I see!” Gu Ziyu shrugged. “Well, there’s no way around it then.”

Chen Liangdong added, “By the way, Chen Fei said Gu Ci’s marksmanship is quite accurate?”

Gu Ziyu told a white lie with sincerity, “She enjoys shooting.”

“I see. That’s good. She saved Chen Fei and many others.” What Chen Liangdong admired most was that after the attack, Gu Ci stayed at the scene to provide rescue efforts, saving many lives with her professional knowledge.

Gu Ziyu felt proud. “My sister is amazing.”

In Jiang Junlin’s villa, Pei Qiuying had been waiting. The butler had prepared tea and was serving Pei Qiuying. She had changed into a different outfit, radiating charm. There was no trace of her disheveled appearance in front of Lu Zhiyuan.

Jiang Junlin entered the room, the warmth enveloping him, dispelling the chill from outside. He took off his coat and scarf, handing them to the butler before proceeding inside.

Pei Qiuying frowned and said, “Junlin, you made me wait for nearly half an hour.”

Jiang Junlin looked at her indifferently, a hint of amusement in his eyes. “Did you suffer some injustice and come here to vent your frustrations?”

Pei Qiuying sneered, “Your dear sister had fought with me at the auction all night. Junlin, you need to discipline her properly. Otherwise, if 1 happen to harm a single hair on her head when 1 take action, 1 won’t be able to explain it to you.”

The butler brought tea over at the perfect temperature and placed it in front of Jiang Junlin. He took a sip, savoring the aroma. “She’s my sister, I’ll handle her. At the auction, whoever has the money has the say. You deliberately raised the prices to provoke her. Don’t blame her for losing face.”

“Junlin, don’t forget, we’re partners. Hualan Bank needs to expand into foreign markets, and we need the help of underworld connections. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to penetrate the European and American markets.”

Jiang Junlin leaned back, unbuttoning two buttons on his shirt. In the dim light of the night, he exuded a lazy charm. He asked coldly, “Pei Qiuying, don’t forget who made you the head of the underworld so quickly. You were so pleased with yourself as soon as you took office. Are you sure… you dare to offend me?”

Pei Qiuying didn’t care about Jiang Junlin’s indifference. After her family was wiped out, she went through a difficult period. Jiang Junlin had saved her life several times and protected her from the persecution of the Rong family. However, Jiang Junlin had arrived a step too late, and Pei Qiuying had fallen head over heels for Lu Zhiyuan. She was willing to be Lu Zhiyuan’s loyal follower.

In this matter, she had kept it a secret from Jiang Junlin and also from Lu Zhiyuan. She was very clever in leveraging both sides to quickly take control of the underworld. In this process, while Lu Zhiyuan was undoubtedly shrewd, Jiang Junlin played an indispensable role as well.

Now, she had firmly secured her position as the leader of the underworld.

The crafty rabbit dies, and the hounds are cooked; enemies are annihilated, and plotters are forgotten. Those who achieve great deeds often go unrewarded; this was the art of rulership, a constant throughout history. Pei Qiuying was no longer afraid of Jiang Junlin!

“Junlin, our two families have a long-standing relationship, and we were almost engaged. I have always respected you. Once, I was a homeless orphan, and you were the proud one at the top. But don’t forget, now 1 am the leader of the underworld.”

Jiang Junlin smirked, a cold aura surrounding him. There was an indescribable depth in his gaze. “So, you sent someone to stage a fake terrorist attack, trying to take my sister’s life amidst the chaos?”

Pei Qiuying panicked, “How… how did you know?”

Jiang Junlin placed the teacup lid back on, the crisp sound of porcelain meeting porcelain filling the air. Zhang Qiang and a group of guards swiftly aimed their guns at Pei Qiuying’s guards. She had brought four people with her to see Jiang Junlin and all of them were now under Zhang Qiang’s control. The sole guard by the door was being held at gunpoint by Zhang Qiang and was politely escorted out.

Pei Qiuying found herself isolated and in a tense standoff.

“Jiang Junlin, you dare!” She exclaimed in anger. “I am the leader of the underworld!”

Jiang Junlin sat comfortably on the sofa, wearing glasses and exuding an air of laziness. He held a cup of red tea, elegantly sipping it. He seemed to ignore Pei Qiuying’s frustration, and this disregard only intensified his imposing presence.

“Junlin, before coming to your house, everyone knew I’m coming.”

“So what?” Jiang Junlin sneered, taking another sip of the red tea. “Killing you would be no different from killing a chicken.”

Pei Qiuying insisted, “I bet you won’t!”

Jiang Junlin put down the teacup, propped up his legs, appearing even more lazy and domineering. Pei Qiuying felt like she was meeting him for the first time. Jiang Junlin pushed up his glasses with two fingers. “In this world, there’s nothing 1 won’t do, Pei Qiuying. I helped you rise to power because 1 needed a puppet. If the puppet misbehaves, it will be eliminated. I won’t allow you to bite back.”

“Are you… are you insane?” Pei Qiuying exclaimed.

“Hush.” Jiang Junlin placed his index finger against his lips. The lenses of his glasses glinted with a chilly light. “Don’t make a fuss. Dead people should stay quiet.”

Pei Qiuying hadn’t expected that Jiang Junlin, with whom she had close dealings, would dare to corner her like this. Third Master had warned her: Jiang Junlin would also want her dead for the sake of Gu Ci!

Pei Qiuying burst into laughter. “Hahaha, Jiang Junlin, if I die, your whole family will accompany me to the grave.”

“Trying to scare me?” Jiang Junlin lightly laughed. He extended his hand, and one of the guards handed him a tablet. Jiang Junlin opened a video and placed it in front of Pei Qiuying. “Watch it yourself!”

Pei Qiuying clicked on the video and saw the assassins she had sent to Jiang’s house.

“You shouldn’t have done this, threatening my family,” Jiang Junlin said coldly. “I am not Han Xin, and you are not Liu Bang.”

Pei Qiuying’s heart trembled. She finally realized that Jiang Junlin was serious; he really would kill her. She regretted being too hasty in securing her position as the leader of the underworld. Moreover, she shouldn’t have come to Jiang Junlin’s house with only four guards.

Jiang Junlin casually said, “Zhang Qiang, take them outside. Don’t dirty my carpet.”

“Yes.”

“Jiang Junlin, you dare!” Pei Qiuying shouted in a stern voice.

From upstairs, a familiar voice could be heard, “Mr. Jiang, no matter how angry you are, you should still cherish the beautiful lady. Why shout and fight? It might scare the beauty away.”

Jiang Junlin raised his head, squinting his eyes at Ji Chi on the second floor.. His voice was indifferent, “Uncle Guang, how did he get here?”
