“Good!” Gu Ci smiled and said, “I believe you.”

Dr. North glanced at Lu Zhiyuan and followed Gu Ci into the operating room. After experiencing Grandma’s surgery once, Gu Ci had become familiar with the process. She was skilled and adept after the first and second times.

The fear only lay in the outcome of the surgery.

This surgery was significant to everyone involved – Ji Chi, Jiang Junlin, and Lu Zhiyuan were all waiting for news. Gu Ziyu was the most relaxed one. He was at Ji Chi’s place, working on his paper and eating junk food as if he were making up for all the junk food he hadn’t eaten in his previous life.

Then, he was surprised to find Ji Chi watching cooking videos.

“Ji Chi, let’s have Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for lunch. I haven’t had it in a while.”

Ji Chi lifted his head from the video and finally remembered the persona that Gu Ziyu had assigned to him. “Baby, you’ve misunderstood something. Do you think 1 can cook Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?”

“You can’t?” Gu Ziyu asked in surprise.

“Washing hands and making soup, does this kind of persona suit me?” Ji Chi shrugged.

“Not really,” Gu Ziyu murmured to himself. “So, you can’t cook?”

“I can only make some simple dishes,” Ji Chi said. “In your eyes, am I a jack of all trades?”

Gu Ziyu thought to himself, being a jack of all trades was pretty much the same as being perfect – truly capable of everything except having a bit of a mischievous nature and a somewhat ruthless personality, especially towards Jiang Junlin. In Gu Ziyu’s eyes, he was perfect. If he had a different personality, he would be flawless.

Gu Ziyu said, “I had a dream. 1 dreamt that you made Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for me.”

He looked at Ji Chi with an innocent expression. Ji Chi had a deceptive appearance, and Gu Ziyu also had a quite deceiving face. Ji Chi couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Buddha Jumps Over the Wall takes five to six hours to make. Let’s order takeout.”

“Junlin Brother loves Buddha Jumps Over the Wall the most.”

Ji Chi didn’t know how to reply.

Indeed, people were delicate, and the things they ate were also delicate.

Jiang Junlin was restless. He messaged Gu Ziyu, who replied. Gu Ziyu recalled the slip of the tongue he had made and tried to cover it up, “Junlin Brother, Ji Chi is useless. He can’t even cook. I dreamt about him making a grand feast for me, but it was my misunderstanding.”

Jiang Junlin stared.

Baby, if you don’t explain, this will blow over. The more you explain, the more suspicious it becomes.

Gu Ziyu shifted his blame to Ji Chi. “Don’t lie to people in the future.”

It was all Ji Chi’s fault. If he hadn’t lied, how could there have been a misunderstanding?

Ji Chi looked innocent, recalling that he had just lied to Jiang Junlin and gained an advantage. He felt a rare sense of guilt and even a bit of nostalgia – savoring the taste of deceit. He wanted to lie again!

Jiang Junlin was so difficult to deal with. To lie again, what excuse could he use?

He glanced at the time and chuckled, saying, “Baby, you stay at home and play. Big brother is going to take care of some minor matters.”

Jiang Junlin waited at home for news from the hospital. Today, no one from the Jiang family went out. Captain Zhang Qiang of the security team searched near the Jiang residence and found no suspicious individuals.

“Don’t let your guard down.”

“Yes, Master.”

Jiang Junlin raised his hand and checked the time. The surgery was at ten o’clock, and it was already one o’clock. Three hours had passed, but there was still no news from the hospital. This could be considered good news.

In the hospital, the surgery led by Gu Ci encountered a massive problem. People from the Chen family’s collateral line somehow got wind of Chen Rushi’s surgery and came to the hospital, causing a commotion.

The Chen family held significant influence in the local Chinese community in Country M. They were a local powerhouse and had been successful in the financial sector. Originally, they had risen to power through the underworld, and they still had a bit of banditry in them. A group of them caused a scene at the hospital, insisting on questioning the lead surgeon. They wanted to know who had signed the surgery consent form for Chen Rushi. Since there was no family member’s signature, why was the surgery performed on Chen Rushi?

Lu Zhiyuan could tell that there was trouble brewing. He instructed Li Jiang to remove the troublemakers. He had already anticipated this move and had Li Jiang bring several dozen people to the hospital. The Chen family’s interference was quickly suppressed by Li Jiang’s team, preventing any major disturbances at the hospital.

Chen Jing began to make a scene, threatening to sue the hospital for performing surgery without a family member’s consent. The commotion drew a crowd outside the hospital, where Lu Zhiyuan’s security team and the Chen family’s members faced off, causing concern among many patients and their families.

This situation couldn’t escalate. Gu Ci was the lead surgeon, and any investigation could potentially lead to complications. Lu Zhiyuan lowered his voice and ordered Li Jiang, “Bind them all up and take them to the harbor. When Chen Rushi wakes up, let him handle it himself.”

Before Li Jiang could carry out the order, Ji Chi arrived. He took over the situation, soothing the Chen family members with gentle words. He escorted them away to prevent any further disturbances at the hospital. Once they were away from the hospital, in a secluded area, Ji Chi changed his demeanor. A dozen or so guards appeared, and they swiftly tied up the Chen family members.

“Ji Chi, you little brat, what do you think you’re doing? I’m the second young master of the Chen family. If you dare to tie me up, you better think twice about your own weight!” Chen Jing struggled against his restraints, infuriated and embarrassed.

Ji Chi chuckled, patting his face. “You caused a scene at the hospital and almost disrupted Mr. Chen’s surgery. If there’s even the slightest mishap, you, as a beneficiary, won’t escape blame. Even if I were to kill you, when Mr. Chen wakes up, he wouldn’t hold me accountable.”

Chen Jing’s expression turned sinister. “What if he dies? The Chen family is under my control. Ji Chi, you’d better not offend me.”

Ji Chi burst into laughter. He was young, and his laughter was hearty and harmless. Just as Chen Jing thought Ji Chi wouldn’t take action, Ji Chi suddenly struck with a punch, knocking out one of Chen Jing’s teeth. Chen Jing let out a pained scream.

When Ji Chi first joined Chen Rushi, no one in the Chen family had looked up to him. He had a compelling appearance and was young and clean-cut. Many of the male and female members of the Chen family had their eyes on him. Chen Jing had bullied Ji Chi and even used physical force against him. Ji Chi had always remembered this grudge.

“You dare to hit me? You little brat, you’re dead!” Chen Jing was furious.

Ji Chi’s laughter formed two small dimples on his cheeks. “I’m betting that Mr. Chen won’t die. It’s you who will die.”

Chen Jing was shocked. “You… Could it be that Chen Rushi’s condition isn’t that serious?”

Ji Chi pulled out a wet tissue and wiped his hand as if he had dirtied it while punching Chen Jing. Ji Chi’s eyes and brows wavered slightly, his appearance alluring and somewhat enchanting. “If I didn’t exaggerate, why would you dare to bring people to the hospital?”

Chen Jing broke out in a cold sweat and widened his eyes. “It’s you… You deliberately informed me. Why did you do this? I understand now. You’re seeking revenge. Ji Chi, you… You’re so cunning!”

Chen Rushi was the type to seek vengeance for the smallest grievances, even from collateral relatives. If a collateral relative knew that he was lying on the operating table, helpless like a fish on a cutting board and that people were causing a scene at the hospital, intentionally obstructing his surgery…

When he woke up, he would undoubtedly settle accounts. Chen Jing wouldn’t end up well.

Ji Chi lifted his hand and placed it in the sunlight, blowing on it lazily and with a carefree attitude. He then continued, “Back then, you wanted to have your way with me, drugged me, took advantage of my youth. Did you think I didn’t understand what that drug was?”

He lowered his hand and approached Chen Jing. “I knew it was a scheme, but I still drank it. Yet, I’ve always remembered this grudge.”

“You little scoundrel, I didn’t even lay a finger on you. Who benefited from that incident? Why do you hold a grudge?” Chen Jing erupted in rage, wanting nothing more than to harm Ji Chi.

Ji Chi burst into laughter, patting his face with an easygoing and even pleasant tone. “You’re right, 1 have to thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had a chance to meet him.”

He changed his demeanor once again, narrowing his attractive eyes and letting his smile fade. An icy, chilling aura emanated from him. “I detest it when people look at me with that kind of gaze. Whoever looks at me like that, dies!” With a wave of his hand, he commanded, “Take them away!”

“Yes!” The guards moved swiftly, and they bound all eight members of the Chen family and took them away..
