On the day of the surgery, Ji Chi said he would be responsible for keeping an eye on Gu Ziyu. This was the task assigned to him by Chen Rushi. If Chen Rushi was really dead, he would kill Gu Ziyu.

Chen Rushi regarded Ji Chi as a confidant, entrusting him with such an important task.

Jiang Junlin’s face was cold. He didn’t trust Ji Chi. When the day of Chen Rushi’s surgery arrived, he was determined to personally watch over Ziyu.

However, the reality infuriated Jiang Junlin. Ji Chi betrayed them at the last moment and took Gu Ziyu away, even before the surgery. Gu Ci had prepared the surgical plan and had held several meetings with the medical team arranged by Chen Rushi. The surgical plan had been confirmed, and Dr. North and the medical team would assist her.

This was her second surgery, and Gu Ci was very nervous. As the surgery approached, both Lu Zhiyuan and Jiang Junlin sent people to protect Ziyu. Who could have imagined that Ji Chi would take Gu Ziyu away right under their noses.

On the Jiang family’s side, there were also people from Jiang Junlin guarding.

Gu Ci wasn’t worried about Gu Ziyu. Jiang Junlin didn’t know the situation, so he would be more concerned. She couldn’t explain the truth to him.

Lu Zhiyuan came to find Gu Ci, wanting to tell her not to worry, that Ji Chi took Ziyu away and Ziyu would be fine.

Expecting Gu Ci to be anxious, he was surprised to see her planting flowers in the garden. Planting flowers was her way of relieving stress. Lu Zhiyuan said, “Ziyu is missing.”

“Ziyu was taken by Ji Chi,” Gu Ci said, picking a few roses and placing them in a vase.

Lu Zhiyuan sneered, unable to contain his emotions. “Indeed, you know all his secrets.”

It was him who had misconstrued things.

He turned and left. Gu Ci felt sorry for Lu Zhiyuan’s self-inflicted suffering. “I guessed it on my own, he didn’t tell me.”

He paused, turning to look at Gu Ci.

Gu Ci said, “Third brother, can you hug me?”

Sunlight brushed over the flowers in the courtyard. She stood amidst the colorful blooms, more delicate than the flowers themselves, her gaze gentle. In that moment, Lu Zhiyuan had an illusion that her eyes were fixed on him, as he wished, never glancing at others.

Listening to his inner voice, he embraced Gu Ci. Amidst the fragrant flowers, Lu Zhiyuan asked, “Gu Ci, if 1 killed him, would you hate me?”

Gu Ci stiffened, her physical response giving Lu Zhiyuan the most genuine answer. His embrace imprisoned her, causing her pain. Lu Zhiyuan’s demeanor grew shadowy. “If not love, then hate me.”

“What are you planning?” Gu Ci’s voice trembled. Lately, she had been worried about Chen Rushi’s surgery and had been trying to quit a certain addiction called Lu Zhiyuan. If he killed the Third Master, wouldn’t that mean killing herself?

Was she about to lose him again?

Struggling in his embrace, Gu Ci asked, “If he dies, can you live?”

“Our personalities are as different as night and day. How can you deceive yourself? Are we the same person?” Lu Zhiyuan smirked devilishly. “I am me, Gu Ci. Look closely. Before you is Lu Zhiyuan, not the Third Master.”

“Then tell me, what’s really going on between you two?” Gu Ci blurted out. “You’re not dealing with some split personality. He knows all your memories. How can that be a split personality?”

“What did you say?” Lu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes. “He knows everything about me?”

Gu Ci panicked, “You… don’t know?”

“How would I know?” Lu Zhiyuan flared up. His interactions with the Third Master were all conveyed through Li Jiang. How would he know that the Third Master possessed all his memories?

“So, whatever 1 do, he knows?”

Gu Ci nodded.

A surge of anger rose in Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes. Swiftly, he embraced Gu Ci, lowered his head, and kissed her. His kiss was fierce and ruthless. Gu Ci’s scalp tingled, and she could hardly breathe. Lu Zhiyuan bit her tongue playfully and said with ferocity, “Third Master, look closely. This is my woman. Listen carefully, too. I will find a way to make you disappear forever!”

Jiang Junlin furrowed his brow, unable to contain his anger. “Ji Chi, you’re lying to me again!”

He had long cultivated an inscrutable demeanor, but he had shown anger several times due to Ji Chi’s deceptions. Ji Chi chuckled lightly, “The tasks assigned by Chen Rushi are difficult to accomplish and explain. 1 can only apologize to Chairman Jiang.”

“In that case, don’t promise me.”

Ji Chi’s voice carried a playful tone. “Blame it on the price Chairman Jiang is paying. I was genuinely tempted. I’m not a gentleman, so I can only enjoy…”

Jiang Junlin interrupted him, “If anything happens to Ziyu, don’t blame me for not being polite!”

A hint of darkness flickered in Ji Chi’s eyes. “How impolite does Chairman Jiang want me to be?”

He made a tsk sound, a careless tone tinged with provocation. “You care so much about Gu Ziyu? I really want to try – if I so much as move his finger, how would you treat me?”

“Ji Chi, don’t go crazy!”

Ji Chi said, “I’m itching to do something, and you caring so much about Gu Ziyu doesn’t sit well with me.”

He hung up the phone coldly, turned to look at Gu Ziyu who was nibbling on an ice cream. The kid was enjoying his ice cream without a care, despite the cool autumn weather. With his wound still healing, Gu Ci didn’t allow him to have too much. Yet at Ji Chi’s house, he acted without any restraint.

“I want more!” Gu Ziyu asked, “Do you have more?”

Ji Chi chuckled and handed him another. “Don’t indulge in the cold. If you catch a cold, blame it on Jiang Junlin.”

Gu Ziyu tore open the packaging with contentment and wiggled his fingers. “Are you going to move my finger?”

“Darling, big brother is just joking.”

He came over and Gu Ziyu asked curiously, “You and my uncle… Brother Junlin, what’s the grudge between you two?”

“Adult matters, don’t concern yourself with them.”

Licking his ice cream, Gu Ziyu mocked, “He said he killed your beloved, but where did you even get a beloved?”

“We’ve never met, and my beloved died many years ago. You wouldn’t know.”

Gu Ziyu noticed Ji Chi’s casual attitude, speaking coldly, “Who brought up the beloved topic? That’s the expression you’re wearing.”

Ji Chi’s smile was wicked. “I’ve always been carefree.”

He didn’t know why, but he was more relaxed and able to reveal his true self in front of Gu Ziyu than he was in front of the Third Master. “Darling, there’s something I’m quite curious about. How are you so sure that I won’t harm you?”

Coming to his house, Gu Ziyu was even more laid-back than he was.

“You’re not Chen Rushi’s person, so why would you harm me?” Gu Ziyu said matter-of-factly. “For you, it’s more useful if I’m alive than dead.”

“Well reasoned!” Ji Chi stroked his chin. “What if I were a double agent?”

Gu Ziyu raised an eyebrow. “What’s that got to do with me? Oh, by the way, your Black Hawk organization has a skilled hacker. Do you know him?”

Ji Chi had already guessed who he was talking about.

“The people in the Security Department don’t fall under my jurisdiction. The various departments of Black Hawk operate independently and don’t interfere with each other. I’m just an Assistant Director of the Asian Division, and my authority isn’t enough.”

“Strive to climb higher. 1 want to know who he is.”

Ji Chi leaned back, propping his legs up. “Do you dislike him?”

“I don’t like being threatened by anyone,” Gu Ziyu said expressionlessly. “He hit

all my sensitive spots with precision..”
