Chapter 372: There Are Some Things That Need To Be Worried About

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Lu Zhiyuan, why was he so incompetent and passed away early, leaving you and Ziyu to fend for yourselves? How can Ji Chi and Li Jiang protect you?” Jiang Junlin felt sorry for Gu Ci, and his dissatisfaction with Lu Zhiyuan grew stronger.

“No wonder him. It was an accident. He died to protect me and Ziyu. It’s my own weakness, self-doubt, that turned him into a belief for me. Without him, my heart died too. The one who suffers the most is Ziyu, the one I’ve let down the most is Ziyu,” Gu Ci’s eyes turned red. “He’s healthy and happy now, and I’m truly grateful to the heavens.”

“Is it Gu Chuyun?”

Gu Ci nodded. “I know very little about the previous life.”

She considered herself as the leader of the underworld, first for Jiang Junlin and second for herself. She couldn’t remain as the ignorant Gu Ci, oblivious to the outside world, ignorant of human affairs, living only for one person. If fate was unfair and tragedy struck again, she had to have enough strength to protect the people around her.

Jiang Junlin was skeptical of this story, not because he doubted Gu Ci was lying, but because he doubted what kind of story it was. Regardless of which aspect you looked at, it was highly implausible.

Lu Zhiyuan died young, his willpower diminished due to a broken leg, and he was imprisoned by Ji Chi for a lifetime. It was beyond belief.

If Cici only returned to the year she was eighteen, her life experiences before the age of eighteen wouldn’t change, and he and Lu Zhiyuan wouldn’t change either. Ji Chi guarded them, and the fact that he and Ji Chi were still connected was proof. Lu Zhiyuan was the Third Master of the Black Hawk, he was the master of the underworld dark web. Why would he be manipulated by Gu Chuyun and Liu Shijie?

Lu Zhiyuan actually took Cici into seclusion instead of killing Gu Chuyun and Liu Shijie. Wasn’t that absurd?

Even if he had lost both his legs, he would never have been a person with diminished willpower. He sought revenge for his enemies and settled grievances. Enemies met their ends, and he would never sit idly by, blaming himself and lamenting his fate. The entire underworld dark web followed his orders no matter when or where, and he didn’t need to appear in person. Could the entire underworld dark web have betrayed him?

That was impossible!

So, every aspect of this story couldn’t withstand scrutiny. But unfortunately, it had actually happened!

If it had really happened, there must be hidden secrets.

But could fate be resisted by human effort?

People who were meant to meet would meet no matter how many twists and turns there were, just like him and Ji Chi. When he left the Pentagon, he never expected to meet Ji Chi again.

Just like Lu Zhiyuan and Cici, they would meet and love each other again!

In the gears of destiny, would those destined to die eventually meet their end?

Jiang Junlin felt a chill down his spine.

Gu Ci said, “Brother, the people in the game of life are different. Even if it’s the same thing, the outcome can be different. Ziyu was spotted by Chen Liangdong and joined the MSS. This time, you were forced to return to the country, and 1 couldn’t stop it. If Ziyu convinces Chen Liangdong to take you in, we can still communicate, all with Chen Liangdong’s tacit approval. But what if there’s no Chen Liangdong? Will you be forced to hand over the underworld dark web, brother? Our family is our fatal weakness. Without the underworld dark web, will the people you offended in the past spare you?”

Jiang Junlin had been contemplating. Without Cici and Ziyu, Dr. North wouldn’t have been released, and he would only have Little Cherry by his side. Could he survive this catastrophe alone?

Perhaps not!

Although he might not lose his life, he might indeed not be able to keep the underworld dark web.

“Brother, don’t ask about your past anymore, and don’t dwell on it. It’s in the past,” Jiang Junlin finally understood why Gu Ci’s heartache was so severe. “Don’t fear the future, don’t dwell on the past, don’t be troubled in your heart, don’t be trapped by your emotions, Cici, the past is gone, try to let go. Brother won’t ask again, let’s pretend those things never happened. No… those things indeed never happened.”

Her life had been completely renewed.

“I know!” Gu Ci smiled gently. “I’m trying to let go slowly. Brother, don’t worry, I’ll get better.”

Jiang Junlin affectionately patted her head.

The two continued fishing, not discussing the past any further. Gu Ci didn’t catch any fish, while Jiang Junlin caught three crucian carp and two catfish, all of decent size. Gu Ci was a bit annoyed. “We used the same bait and hooks, and we’re not far from each other. How did all the fish end up on your hook?”

“You’re too impatient. When the float sinks, you shouldn’t pull immediately. The fish haven’t fully taken the bait yet, and it’s easy for them to slip away,” Jiang Junlin often accompanied his grandfather to fish, which was a skill that required patience and composure.

“I’ll have to learn from my brother later.”

The two enjoyed a leisurely day together. After returning home, they took the fish to the kitchen. The catfish were sliced, and the crucian carp were used to make fish soup. Gu Ci went to talk to Grandma Jiang, while Jiang Junlin wiped his hands with a wet towel and called for Zhang Qiang.

“Go and investigate what Gu Chuyun has been up to recently.”

“Master, why do you suddenly want to investigate Gu Chuyun? What specific aspects should 1 investigate?”

“Every aspect, find out everything!” Jiang Junlin tossed the wet towel aside with an indifferent expression. “Who she associates with, what she’s doing, she’s in the entertainment industry, so check if her financial records are clean, where her resources come from, and especially her interpersonal relationships. I want to know it all.”

“Yes!”

“Wait a moment!” Jiang Junlin sneered. “Also, check what Gu Wenliang and Lu Man are doing.”

“Understood!”

Jiang Junlin initially didn’t want to confront Gu Wenliang. The collapse of the Gu family was the greatest punishment for them, who were used to a life of luxury. Gu Ci would seek revenge, and if she didn’t take action, he wouldn’t interfere. Jiang Junlin had always avoided dealing with fools to prevent unnecessary anger. However, when he thought about Gu Ci’s five years in prison and the pain of disfigurement, he couldn’t help but feel a deep hatred.

“Some things should be confronted, and we will confront them!” Zhang Qiang could tell from Jiang Junlin’s expression that the Gu family was in for trouble!

After their reunion dinner, Gu Ci returned to the Blue Fields Villa. Qin Wan had originally planned to come and pick her up, but Gu Ci insisted that she enjoy herself and not come specially to pick her up. She could make her own way back.

Jiang Junlin had a bit too much to drink and didn’t come out to see her off. The elderly couple from the Jiang family saw her to the door. After the two of them left, a car parked in the distance started, and its headlights shone so brightly that Gu Ci could hardly open her eyes.

She looked closely and saw that it was Lu Zhiyuan and Ji Chi.

Lu Zhiyuan got out of the car and walked slowly towards her. In the moonlight, his smile was particularly dazzling. “I’ll take you back!”

“No need to trouble yourself. Someone will take me back,” Gu Ci had a bit of alcohol and had already planned to have Zhang Qiang find someone to drive her back.

Lu Zhiyuan had already taken the initiative to sit in the driver’s seat. This car was still the one Gu Ci had chosen from Lu Zhiyuan’s garage and had never been replaced. He rolled down the window. “Cici, get in.”

His voice was gentle but not open to refusal!

Gu Ci took a deep breath. They were outside the Jiang family’s gate, and she didn’t want to disturb anyone. She had no choice but to get into the car, and Lu Zhiyuan drove away.

Ji Chi watched them leave through the rearview mirror. He glanced at Jiang Junlin’s bedroom window and irritably lit a cigarette.. On such a cold night, leaving the window open while sleeping, wasn’t he afraid of catching a cold!
