“Wait!” Lu Zhiyuan chuckled and said, “I will definitely do as you wish, but Cici, what if the condition is that you can’t become the leader of the triad? If 1 have second thoughts about killing Pei Qiuying, and you take her place, what then?” “I don’t have to kill Pei Qiuying to claim that position as mine,” Gu Ci replied. She entrusted the matters of the triad’s dark web to Lu Zhiyuan out of her own selfish interests.

“Isn’t being a doctor, saving lives and helping the injured, a good path?” Lu Zhiyuan asked.

“I don’t have anyone I want to save,” Gu Ci deliberately contradicted Lu Zhiyuan, “Studying medicine can’t cure inner demons, nor can it save either of us.”

“Can you save them by becoming the leader of the triad?”

“I’m willing to try,” Gu Ci said, “Why don’t you want me to take that position? Is it because of the danger, or is your cooperation with your brother not sincere, and you don’t want me involved?”

“I have many reasons to oppose you becoming the leader of the triad.”

“I have many reasons why I must take that position!” Gu Ci furrowed her brows, “We talked about it on the mountain that day, and we reached a consensus, didn’t we?”

Lu Zhiyuan looked at her in silence, and Gu Ci understood his thoughts.

She whispered, “When will you understand that your desires are not necessarily the same as mine?”

In fact, Lu Zhiyuan had always understood this.

Leaning against the flower vines, Gu Ci chuckled and asked, “Ji Chi is so devoted to his brother, willing to give up everything. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if Black Hawk and the triad could reconcile, just for his sake?” Lu Zhiyuan laughed heartily, “You go and ask Jiang Junlin if he’s willing?” “If he’s willing to compromise for the sake of Ji Chi, just this once?”

“He won’t!” Lu Zhiyuan said decisively, “The interests entangled between Black Hawk and the triad are too complex. Now that our identities are exposed, continued conflict is our best option. If we mix together, Ji Chi will be on the assassination list.”

Whose assassination list Ji Chi would be on, Gu Ci also understood. She felt a chill in her heart, not expecting the situation to be so serious. They wouldn’t allow Ji Chi’s existence to jeopardize Jiang Junlin’s loyalty.

From the moment Jiang Junlin fell in love with Ji Chi, he understood.

He restrained himself, endured, and saw the outcome clearly. As long as their identities weren’t exposed, there was still room for maneuvering. However, after their identities were exposed, everything he did would have far-reaching consequences, especially in regard to his marriage.

The entire team of secret guards who had followed him for many years would mutiny because of Ji Chi.

Jiang Junlin understood, and so did Lu Zhiyuan.

Only Ji Chi held a glimmer of hope, young and confident, believing that he could escape the crossfire of bullets and evade assassination.

Can he escape on the first, and then on the fifteenth?

Ji Chi also understood Jiang Junlin’s intentions. A simple “I’m sorry” marked the end of their relationship, just as Ji Chi had anticipated. He recalled the night when Jiang Junlin responded with “Me too!”

His heart surged with resentment but there was nothing he could do. “You were prepared for this long ago. What did last night mean, pity for me?”

Jiang Junlin couldn’t bear to see Ji Chi in such a self-deprecating state. “Chi, let’s just consider it a dream. Meeting me was your nightmare. In a few years, you’ll forget.”

“Fine…” Ji Chi’s voice trembled, a mix of grievance and unwillingness, “Fine… in the future, we have nothing to do with each other. Is that what you want to hear? You dream on. Let me tell you, if you fall in love with someone else, be prepared to collect their corpse!”

After uttering these harsh words, Ji Chi turned and walked away. He couldn’t bear the cold indifference and unwavering gaze of Jiang Junlin any longer. He knew that his tough talk made him seem tough on the outside, but he didn’t know what to do now.

This dream that had lasted so long had finally ended.

From the very beginning, he should have known it was a dream. The first meeting in the Pentagon, a single glance had exchanged years of infatuation, and it was something he had earned.

The dream had ended, and the person had to exit the stage.

Ji Chi leaned against the flower wall, the sunlight falling on him but unable to warm his cold, pale face. Rong Li clicked his tongue and asked, “Want a cigarette?”

“Rong Li, have you ever broken up with someone?”

“I have!” Rong Li said indifferently, lighting a cigarette and exhaling smoke, “Before the downfall of the Rong family, I was a little kingpin. All the girls in school liked me. In three years of high school, 1 had eleven girlfriends, all different types, fat and thin, I’ve had them all.”

“You’ve actually had relationships?” Ji Chi opened his eyes in surprise, “Are you kidding me?”

“I’m twenty-seven this year, what’s so surprising about having relationships?” Rong Li snapped irritably, “What kind of eyes do you have, where are you looking?”

Ji Chi averted his gaze from Rong Li’s lower body. “1 thought you were a chick.” “Ugh!” Rong Li kicked at him, “Get lost!”

Ji Chi’s melancholic mood lightened a bit. If he had tried to break up with Jiang Junlin before, Jiang Junlin would never have agreed, and he might have gone crazy and taken Jiang Junlin down with him.

Now, besides going crazy for a while, he had to accept everything!

“Did you feel sad when you broke up?” Ji Chi asked.

“Sad my ass!” Rong Li recalled his high school days, “I broke up today, and tomorrow there were plenty of girls waiting in line. Who has time to be sad?” “Why am I feeling so sad?” Ji Chi sighed.

“Because you’re an idiot. I’ve never seen a lickspittle like you. Jiang Junlin beckons, and you wag your tail.”

“Did you get dumped every time you had a relationship back then?” Ji Chi couldn’t take it anymore. He was already feeling down, and now Rong Li was mocking him. He couldn’t stand it.

That statement unexpectedly touched Rong Li’s fragile self-esteem.

“In my day, when I had relationships, it was the girls who were like lickspittles. If you had even half of my intelligence and wit back then, you wouldn’t have ended up like this,” Rong Li boasted.

Ji Chi felt that Rong Li’s words were somewhat dubious. “I don’t believe it!”

Black Hawk had an informant who once pursued Rong Li. She was a beautiful girl with a strong personality, and she had many admirers, but she chose to pursue Rong Li. However, after working together for seven days, the girl voluntarily requested a transfer.

A month after her transfer, Rong Li belatedly asked Ji Chi why she stopped pursuing him.

What was even more absurd was that when they met a year later, he couldn’t even remember her name.

With this guy’s attitude, he couldn’t believe that there were girls who would be like lickspittles for him!

Ji Chi’s despair and sadness were somehow alleviated by Rong Li’s comments, and just then, Lu Zhiyuan came to find them. “What are you guys up to?”

“I’m consoling him because he’s crying over his breakup,” Rong Li said.

“Who’s crying?” Ji Chi retorted.

“You!” Rong Li said, “You were even tilting your head at a 45-degree angle, pretending to be melancholy. I was worried you might not get over it and would pull Jiang Junlin down with you.”

“Get lost, I’ll pull you down first!”

“Thanks for the invitation, but I’m not interested!”

Lu Zhiyuan looked at Ji Chi, “Let’s go back. We still have half of the terms to negotiate. Can you handle it?”

Ji Chi composed himself, “I can.”

Rong Li clapped his hands, “Great! Third Master and Gu Ci have settled their breakup, and Chi and Jiang Junlin have too. Everyone’s happy now, and we can finally get down to business.”

Lu Zhiyuan furrowed his brow, “Why didn’t Qin Wan knock your teeth out just now?”

“Does she have the ability for that?” Rong Li retorted.

Ji Chi gave Rong Li a kick, “You’re just provoking him, Third Master..”
