Ji Chi’s hair was as if it had just been washed, all covered in sweat. Jiang Junlin lifted his bangs, and his gaze softened.

Jiang Junlin thought to himself, this is really sticky.

Not only did Ji Chi say that, but he also said it about him!

Ji Chi was lying on top of him, almost falling asleep. The water temperature was so comfortable, and Jiang Junlin’s breath was too comfortable. He didn’t want to open his eyes at all. Jiang Junlin tapped his nose, “Are you asleep?” “Sleeping,” Ji Chi mumbled.

“Go back to the bedroom to sleep.”

“I can’t walk.” Ji Chi reached out and hugged him like a koala. “Big brother, hold me.”

Jiang Junlin really picked him up and went to the guest room to sleep. He hadn’t eaten dinner, and he had been messing around all night, so his stomach was slightly aching.

He got up and returned to the living room, where he saw the sofa in a mess as well. Jiang Junlin ignored it, grabbed a few slices of bread to fill his stomach, took two stomach pills, and then went back to accompany Ji Chi.

Ji Chi automatically snuggled up to him when he smelled his scent, insisting on hugging him to sleep. Jiang Junlin chuckled softly, turned off the lights, and the cold takeout food was forgotten.

Ji Chi left early in the morning. He hadn’t slept for long. When he returned to Global, Lu Zhiyuan and Rong Li had already gotten up to exercise. Lu Zhiyuan still had a heart for racing, doing physical training, and the team doctor was on the side, worried that he might have another accident.

Ji Chi yawned and waited on the side, feeling discomfort in a certain part of his body, but he was still drowsy. The environment at Global was too comfortable, and Ji Chi had no sense of vigilance. He fell asleep leaning on the sofa, and he didn’t even know when Lu Zhiyuan came over.

“Listen to your brother’s advice and don’t indulge yourself while you’re young; it’s bad for your health.”

Ji Chi looked at him expressionlessly. “Third Master, I’m one year older than you, and your son is seven years old.”

Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t argue with that point, and he laughed as he wiped his sweat. “Did you manage to find out anything?”

“I’ll clarify one thing first. When I tried to gather information from Jiang Junlin, 1 basically couldn’t get anything out of him. But one thing is strange; when I was at Ministry of State Security, Zhang Qiang seemed very nervous. Later, when 1 got home, my brother kept asking about your situation, so I guessed he must have some connection with you going to Ministry of State Security. He even asked why you took over Black Hawk back then, and I said you didn’t have any ambitions and wanted to retire early. My brother’s tone and expression were very mocking.” Ji Chi pondered for a moment. “I’m thinking he might know that you took over and killed the previous owner.”

“It’s impossible!” Lu Zhiyuan said in a low voice. “When he had his accident, I was at a race, and…”

He had teleported there. Who could have expected that? Tang Mingzhou didn’t even think of it, let alone Jiang Junlin.

“This is my speculation,” Ji Chi yawned. “When he joined the Ministry of State Security, he looked very pale. Oh, by the way, Third Master, you survived being pushed off a cliff, which is indeed hard to explain. He also found it very suspicious, and there were mostly these pieces of information.”

“After indulging yourself all night, you didn’t come up with a single definite clue?”

Ji Chi rolled his eyes not very subtly. “Third Master, try asking someone else.” In the past, neither Ji Chi nor Rong Li would have dared to be so unrestrained with the Third Master, because the Third Master used to exude a cold and aloof aura, distant from human emotions. But now, the Third Master was humorous and kind, and gradually Ji Chi and Rong Li were no longer afraid of him.

Lu Zhiyuan sipped his water, deep in thought. The name Tang Mingzhou had resurfaced after five years, and news of his betrayal had also spread. Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but feel that something was off.

“How long did he stay at the Ministry of State Security?”

“Forty minutes,” Ji Chi calculated by looking at his watch, and he continued, “I’ve checked. No special individuals entered within five hours, and he met with Chen Liangdong.”

“That’s a highly confidential place. Ordinary people can’t get in, especially considering he’s the master of the underworld dark web. There’s still no consensus on how the underworld dark web will proceed in the future, and Chen Liangdong will definitely want to avoid suspicion. Even if he discusses something with Jiang Junlin, it’s unlikely that only Chen Liangdong met him. They probably arranged to meet somewhere outside to avoid prying eyes. By giving Chen Liangdong a spot in the underworld dark web, their relationship has become very ambiguous, and no one wants to see them working together.” Ji Chi quickly grasped the situation. “Unless there’s someone at the Ministry of State Security that he absolutely had to meet.”

“Don’t forget, besides being a highly confidential place, there’s also a prison in that building,” Lu Zhiyuan chuckled. “It’s the highest-level prison in the country.”

Ordinary criminals wouldn’t have the qualifications to be incarcerated there.

“My brother is too cautious. I mentioned it briefly, and he got angry and became suspicious. It wouldn’t be appropriate to press him further.” Ji Chi did his best.

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and asked, “Since you indulged yourself so much, didn’t you secretly check his phone?”

Ji Chi shook his head. “I’ve never done that.”

“I don’t believe it!” Lu Zhiyuan laughed. “Even Gu Ci has sneaked a peek at my phone. I don’t believe you haven’t checked Jiang Junlin’s.”

With such possessiveness, it was likely a common occurrence.

“Third Master, are you being so good to me because I remind you of Gu Ci? Since you can’t have her, is it satisfying to have a substitute?” Ji Chi teased.

Lu Zhiyuan was dumbstruck.

They were truly hurting each other.

Ji Chi arranged to meet at the restaurant where Jiang Junlin often went. This private restaurant was closed to the public today and would host their party in the afternoon. Jiang Junlin and Gu Ci arrived early, had lunch in the restaurant, and then moved to a private room to discuss matters.

Gu Ci had been in good spirits lately, sleeping well at night without nightmares. So, when she saw the dark circles under Jiang Junlin’s eyes and his unusual fatigue, she felt concerned. “Big brother, I will definitely work hard to treat you and help you relieve your stress.”

Her big brother was truly working too hard.

Qin Wan said, “Master seems to be indulging too much, and his vitality is lacking.”

Jiang Junlin was speechless.

With just one sentence, Qin Wan hit the nail on the head. Jiang Junlin didn’t mind at all. He had been working tirelessly lately, and he already had trouble sleeping, not to mention the events of the previous night.

Zhang Qiang and the others remained tight-lipped and didn’t dare to gossip about him. Gu Ci had a sharp gaze, even in the heated room, she was wearing a scarf. Jiang Junlin didn’t mind their prying eyes.

Qin Wan asked, “Master, are you and Third Master going to fight?”

“Why would we fight?” Jiang Junlin raised an eyebrow. He was here to discuss cooperation, and despite his dislike for Lu Zhiyuan, he recognized Lu Zhiyuan’s abilities.

Under his control, Black Hawk was in much better shape than when it was under Tang Mingzhou.

“At least, it’s all cleaned up,” he thought.

“Cici, if Master and Lu Zhiyuan were to fight, whose side would you be on?” Qin Wan enjoyed stirring things up and asked Gu Ci.

Jiang Junlin watched Gu Ci with a smile.

Gu Ci replied, “I’d support my big brother.”

Lu Zhiyuan was overpowered, and there was no way his big brother could lose..
