Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Mmm!” Gu Ziyu’s desire for victory and defeat was very strong. “I will definitely study hard!”

Lu Zhiyuan looked at Gu Ci with determination. Gu Ziyu’s goosebumps stood up, and he quickly ran upstairs. Li Jiang, being more perceptive, had already left early. Gu Ci sat naturally beside him and leaned forward, giving him a kiss on the lips, which prompted Lu Zhiyuan to take the lead and deepen the kiss.

“You’ve just recovered from a serious injury. Is it okay to sit for such a long time?”

Lu Zhiyuan said softly. “It’s a bit painful.”

Sitting for a long time was inevitably uncomfortable, so Gu Ci helped him to the sofa, and he leaned back. “Feeling better now?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Did you sleep well?”

Gu Ci nodded. “1 can’t avoid staying up late recently, but it’ll be better after next week. It seems like Ziyu is starting to like you more.”

“He likes me?” Lu Zhiyuan frowned. “I haven’t noticed!”

“He’s patient enough to play chess with you; that already means he really likes you.”

Lu Zhiyuan pondered silently. The way that little guy liked him was somewhat unique.

Gu Ci still felt sorry for Ziyu, “Don’t bully him.”

“I’m bullying him?” Lu Zhiyuan was puzzled. “Aren’t you being too biased?”

Gu Ci couldn’t help but laugh, about to reply when the phone rang. Gu Ci went over to answer it, and Dr. North said, “Cici, Ji Chi was attacked by a bomb. The scene is a mess, and the casualties are unclear.”

Gu Ci’s heart sank. She took a few steps outside, her gaze shifting, and she also saw Li Jiang rushing in. He whispered something to Lu Zhiyuan’s ear, and Lu Zhiyuan’s face changed dramatically. Lu Zhiyuan stood up, and Gu Ci said, “Master, wait a moment!”

Lu Zhiyuan said, “Cici, there’s an urgent matter at Global Center. I have to go back first.”

“Alright.”

Lu Zhiyuan left with Li Jiang in a hurry. Gu Ci asked, “Master, what’s going on?”

“Our people ambushed Ji Chi on the way. During the melee, he was attacked by a bomb. Nick has taken him to the hospital, and now is the best time for a rescue operation. Both Ji Chi and Nick are not here.”

“Take action!” Gu Ci was decisive. “Master, disguise yourself and follow them. I’m worried about them!”

“I understand.”

Lu Zhiyuan had a video call with Ji Chi. “Are you injured?”

Ji Chi raised his hand, “Wounded by shrapnel, but it’s not a big deal.”

The bandages on his arm were mostly red, but he didn’t seem to care. Last time, he hadn’t fully recovered from a previous injury when he got hit again. This arm had seen its fair share of adversity.

Lu Zhiyuan furrowed his brow. “Why did the news say you were severely injured with casualties?”

“Just a little misdirection!” Ji Chi smiled, but it was a smile with a sinister undertone, like a hungry wolf provoked and ready to exterminate its prey. “I have something I want to confirm.”

“Ji Chi, I won’t meddle in your affairs with Jiang Junlin but don’t go too far.” Lu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought Ji Chi had been seriously injured, not that he had released a smokescreen.

Ji Chi had lost a lot of blood, his face pale. He seemed somewhat crazy and somewhat smiling as he said, “Third Master, the pain of wanting something but not obtaining it, you’ve never experienced it, so you won’t understand.”

He ended the video call, leaving Lu Zhiyuan stunned. Wanting something but not obtaining it?

He had once believed that there was nothing he couldn’t have, only things he chose to let go. Gu Ci belonged to Third Young Master, so now he could somewhat understand Ji Chi’s feelings.

In Paris, Dr. North led a team to the location where Ji Chi was hiding Jiang Junlin. It was an old mansion built halfway up a hill. Dr. North had disguised herself, wearing a wig to appear as a man. Eight people stealthily entered the old mansion. Dr. North made hand signals, and the elite guards quickly searched the rooms.

This was a team of individuals who always protected Jiang Junlin from the shadows. They rarely appeared unless it was a special situation, and they were highly trained, forming a fearless squad.

“We’ve searched everywhere, no one here!” one of the men said in a low voice. “Could the signal location be wrong?”

“No,” Dr. North said calmly, “it’s absolutely correct.”

The others understood immediately. The intelligence unit had provided the architectural plans of the old mansion. “There’s a hidden room here.”

Dr. North gestured, and the eight individuals split into two groups, covering each other as they moved toward the hidden room. The hidden room was located one level below the basement and was made of stone. Two people guarded the entrance while Dr. North led the search team. This was the secret room where Jiang Junlin had been held, but it was now empty, with handcuffs still attached to the bed, stained with blood.

Dr. North picked up the handcuffs with bloodstains. “Master was imprisoned here before. He was moved away.”

“Boss, there’s surveillance!” one of them said in a low voice. Dr. North looked up and saw surveillance cameras blinking.

Dr. North had a foreboding feeling.

“Retreat!”

Since the person had already been moved, they needed to retreat quickly to avoid being detected for too long.

At the same time, in another residence on the hill, Jiang Junlin was bound to a chair by Ji Chi. It was a specially constructed iron chair, fixed to the ground, and he couldn’t move. The wall-mounted surveillance showed the images of Dr. North sending a rescue team. Jiang Junlin and Ji Chi seemed to have had a physical confrontation, as Jiang Junlin had a few new injuries.

“Jiang Junlin, your people are really audacious. Haven’t you ever heard of ‘curiosity killed the cat’? You shouldn’t trespass on someone else’s territory,” Ji Chi’s voice was cold and filled with anger.

His right arm was wrapped in bandages, having lost a lot of blood. His face looked unusually pale. Despite his anger, he was smiling—an eerie and terrifying smile!

“Ji Chi, stop it!” Jiang Junlin gritted his teeth, looking at him.

Ji Chi held a remote control in his hand, tilting his head and smiling. “Beg me, big brother. Say you’ll be obedient.”

Jiang Junlin’s face turned red with anger. His eyes were bloodshot. Since being transferred by Ji Chi, he had a premonition that something would go wrong. After tearing apart their relationship, there was no trace of the remaining warmth.

“Beg me!” Ji Chi grabbed his hair and pulled it back, staring into his eyes. “A tracking device in the ring. Is this the gift you gave me? Is this how you’ve treated it?”

Proud and unyielding, Jiang Junlin lowered his head for the first time. “Ji Chi, I’m begging you, spare them!”

“Hahaha…” Ji Chi let go of him, laughing with tears in his eyes, a mad and unrestrained laughter. “You’re actually begging me for them? In your heart, is anyone more important than me? They all praise Ji Chi for his brilliant strategies, right? 1’11 let you watch them turn to ashes!”

Ji Chi pressed the remote control, and the entire house exploded.

“Stop!” Jiang Junlin’s face changed dramatically, but he was too late to stop Ji Chi. He could only watch helplessly as the house exploded. He had no idea how many of his elite guards made it out and that made him furious, striking a nerve. Jiang Junlin experienced the agony of self-inflicted suffering, and the pain was beyond words..
