Pei Qiuying shouted wildly, her long hair flowing like seaweed over her rounded shoulders. “It was you who saved me when rhe Rong family tried to kill me. You taught me strategyr provided me with an education. For all these years, you’ve been by my side, helping me overcome obstacles. 1 want power, and you’ve helped me eliminate barriers. What other reason could there be if not that you like me?”
“Calm down, Pei Qiuying,” Lu Zhiyuan bent down, coldly gripping her chin. “You are a dog 1 raised within the triad, and 1 point, you bite. A master cherishes a loyal and obedient dog. If you persist in your delusions, 1 won’t hesitate to replace you! 1 can lift you up, but I can also bring you down!”
Pei Qiuying felt as if lightning had struck her. She watched helplessly as Lu Zhiyuan walked away. Her bodyguards rushed to her side. “Miss…”
Pei Qiuying angrily pushed them away. She stood up, her gaze filled with malice as she watched Lu Zhiyuan walking away. “A dog… So, it was all my imagination.”
“Hahaha…” Pei Qiuying laughed maniacally, tears streaming down her face. “In a few years, when I live a life worse than pigs and dogs, no one will trample on me. Whatever I want, I will get! If I can’t get it, I’ll destroy him!
Third Master, you treat me like a dog. Hahaha, do you know? Even a dog will bite its owner when forced into a corner!”
Li Jiang noticed the blood on Lu Zhiyuan s clothes and wondered silently. Third Master went to talk with Pei Qiuying, but why is he covered in so much blood?
Li Jiang spoke softly, “Third Master, I’ve already called Young Master and Miss Gu Ci. They were at the scene, but they’ve safely returned to the hotel.”
“I know!” Lu Zhiyuan closed his eyes to rest.
Third Young Master lingered in his mind like a bitter melon. “Third Master , you’ve been nurturing Pei Qiuying all this time. She sees you as her savior, her white knight. Yet, you treat her like a dog. You saved her from the Rong family, then turned around and wiped out the Rong family, making Rong Li loyal to you. You’ve used this strategy for years, hasn’t it backfired now? Pei Qiuying has rebelled against you. You can’t lull her, but you can’t let her go either. You’re in quite a predicament, aren’t you?”
“Be quiet! ” It had been giving him a headache every day. He shouldn’t have been so angry. As long as he drew a clear line with Gu Ci, Pei Qiuying would surely rein herself in. However, he didn’t expect her to keep testing his limits. Third Master remained silent, saying nothing.
Third Young Master thought for a moment. “She truly loves you. Why don’t you indulge her? Then you can leave my Gu Ci alone.”
“Your Gu Ci?” Third Master sneered. “You’re so confident she ll choose you?”
Third Young Master chuckled. “Remember, we made a bet. If she chooses you, I won’t see her again, and you must love her well. But if she chooses me, I hope you can do the same!”
Third Master coldly hmphed, saying nothing.
in his current state of consciousness, Third Young Master was clear about one thing: Third Master didn’t love Pei Qiuying. And when it came to Gu Ci, Third Young Master couldn’t help but feel like it was a mission, constantly reminding himself that he loved her.
Third Master didn’t have the same intense emotions for Gu Ci.
“You’ve lived for so many years; aren’t you bored?” Third Young Master assumed a tone of heart-to-heart conversation. “What are you really? Are you perhaps my reincarnation from a past life? I’m half of your soul, so you’re imitating me? You love Gu Ci but can’t have her, so you keep your distance to avoid her misfortune?”
TV dramas often go like this.
Third Master remained silent, signaling his reluctance to engage.
“Third Master, say something. Why do you give Gu Ci birthday presents every year? You even seem to compere with me intentionally. Are you trying to mimic me? Are you in love with Gu Ci from your past life, and that’s why you secretly love her now?
Cat got your tongue?
Why can you teleport, and I can’t? Can you teach me, please? It s pretty cool.”
Third Master rubbed his temples, clearly vexed. Seeing this, Li Jiang reduced his breathing and asked, “Third Master, are you feeling unwell?”
“Shut up!” Third Master replied ambiguously, and Li Jiang fell silent, even turning off the in-car music.
Third Young Master couldn’t help but revel in this. “Poor Li Jiang, always arguing with me. But in front of you, he’s so obedient. Looks like I’m too kind.” Third Master retorted, “Can you be quiet for a while?”
Third Young Master teased, “I can’t, unless… you teach me teleportation too.”
Taking a deep breath, Third Master chose the path of silence. No matter how much Third Young Master babbled, he pretended not to hear.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhiyuan returned to the event center, and the news reports were released.
58 dead, 307 injured in the terrorist attack, with the final count still pending.
in the city center, the police found the attackers shot dead under a highway bridge. Their appearances and vehicle details matched the surveillance footage.
It was one of the fastest cases to be solved.
All attackers had died; none survived.
When Pei Qiuying received this news, she was shocked. “All of them are dead?” “Yes, all of them!”
“How is that possible?” Pei Qiuying spoke sternly, “They were well-trained, executed an orderly retreat, and had someone covering them. How could they all die in such a desolate place?”
“We don’t know yet; it’s under investigation. Miss, do you think someone is trying to send us a message?”
Pei Qiuying instantly thought of Lu Zhiyuan. Did he go to such lengths to eliminate them for the sake of Gu Ci?
“Miss, please don’t oppose Third Master anymore,” her bodyguard said earnestly. “You’ve known about Gu Ci for a long time, and you’ve lived peacefully alongside her. Third Master indulged you and helped you rise within the triad. But ever since you started causing trouble with Gu Ci, Third Master hasn’t been as lenient as before. There’s no benefit in opposing him.”
Pei Qiuying slapped her bodyguard’s face. “So, you think I’m just his dog and shouldn’t harbor any delusions?”
The bodyguard knelt on the ground. “I didn’t mean that.”
Pei Qiuying smashed a glass, her voice icy. “‘I will make sure Third Master knows that I’m the most suitable woman for him. As for Gu Ci… enjoy your triumph for a couple more days.”
Her intention had only been to assert her dominance over Gu Ci. She didn’t necessarily want to harm her. But tonight, at the auction, she had been insulted by Lu Zhiyuan, who called her a dog.
Pei Qiuying laughed maniacally, tears streaming down her face.
Jiang Junlin was also aware of the terrorist attack. He came to rhe hotel to see Gu Ci and Ziyu. Ziyu was on the phone with Chen Liangdong in their room. Jiang Junlin’s expression was somewhat hostile. “You should stay at my place. If you want to watch the competition, I’ll arrange transportation for you and Ziyu..”
