Chapter 240: Dog Bite Dog

“Third Brother, please don’t be angry, okay? 1 promise never to mention Third Master again.” Gu Ci slipped under the covers, embraced him from behind, rested her head on his shoulder, and kissed his ear. It was one of Third Master’s peculiarities, and she imitated it perfectly.

With passionate kisses, she pressed her lips against his soft ears. Gu Ci gently nibbled, causing Lu Zhiyuan’s ears to turn as red as if they were bleeding. Gu Ci teased his earlobes with her tongue.

Electric currents surged through Lu Zhiyuan’s body, and the place Gu Ci was focusing on grew scorching hot, as all his blood rushed to a sensitive area.

With his youthful vigor, he couldn’t resist Gu Ci.

By the time he regained his senses, he was kissing Gu Ci. He held her neck with one hand, constantly pulling her closer, demanding her sweetness. He seemed addicted, continuously plundering, domineering, and intense, losing his usual tenderness. This was reminiscent of Third Young Master’s style, but Lu Zhiyuan was acutely aware of his own desire.

It was his!

He desired Gu Ci!

When he and Third Young Master shared consciousness, Gu Ci kissed him, and he reacted. He could have excused it as Third Young Master’s body, Third Young Master’s emotions; this body responded to her.

But now, how could he deceive himself!

No, he couldn’t like Gu Ci. She… her heart belonged to Third Young Master. They loved each other, and he was merely Third Young Master’s substitute.

As rational as he was, his emotions were inexplicably entangled. The more rational he tried to be, the more passionate he became, like two extremes – ice and fire. He was happy, yet in agony, tormented.

Happiness was an act, pain was real.

Gu Ci had always been special throughout the long years. If he could restrain this attraction for over a decade, he could continue to restrain it. Lu Zhiyuan constantly reminded himself.

It was just a play, and he had gotten into the act!

Once the act was over, everything would return to calm.

Lu Zhiyuan started suffering frequent headaches. He was a person who could endure, and unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t take painkillers. After taking painkillers, he could no longer see those chaotic memories.

He wanted to know whose memories they were!

If they weren’t his, they were Third Young Master’s!

Shortly after New Year’s Day, a shocking piece of news came from Black Hawk. Chen Rushi, with half of the family’s assets, officially severed ties with Black Hawk.

“The Chen family is the largest family in Black Hawk, with considerable influence. Chen Rushi, with the support of Jiang Junlin, originally intended to take away all the assets but ultimately failed. According to Black Hawk’s rules, half of the assets remained with the current leader of Black Hawk, Lu Zhiyuan. When he entered the underworld, he became the second-in-command, right below Pei Qiuying.

Pei Qiuying was like a tiger with wings, winning decisively in several financial battles.

This caused a seismic shift and reshuffling in the global financial circle. The power struggle between the underworld and Black Hawk was disrupted, with the underworld rising while Black Hawk showed signs of decline.

“Third Master, everything went according to your expectations!” Li Jiang said. “Chen Rushi joined the underworld, and in the recent financial battles, we deliberately lost as per your orders.”

Lu Zhiyuan looked at the report. “Tell Rong Li that our chess pieces in the underworld should start to take effect.”

“Yes!”

Lu Zhiyuan sneered, “In less than three months, I want to see the underworld…completely annihilated!”

Except for this unexpected car accident, everything was within Lu Zhiyuan’s expectations. Chen Rushi had failed in his succession years ago due to his arrogance and reluctance to submit to Third Master, who was parachuted in. However, his heart condition made him hesitant.

After Gu Ci treated his heart condition, Chen Rushi no longer had any reservations. Leaving Black Hawk became inevitable, and Lu Zhiyuan’s car accident was just the trigger.

With such a personality, whether in the power struggle within Black Hawk or in the underworld, Lu Zhiyuan was equally ambitious. Lu Zhiyuan had carefully cultivated Pei Qiuying, ensuring that she was no pushover. She had the capability to rival Chen Rushi, and the underworld was bound to become chaotic.

“There’s something strange.”

“What is it?”

Li Jiang said, “Chairman Jiang… seems to have disappeared.”

Lu Zhiyuan was taken aback and calmly said, “Well, that’s an unexpected pleasure.”

Lu Zhiyuan’s plane was scheduled to leave Paris on the third. After Chen Rushi joined the underworld, the first conflict arose in a meeting with Pei Qiuying over Lu Zhiyuan’s departure from Paris.

After Chen Rushi’s surgery, while sitting in a wheelchair, he still looked reasonably well. He said in a deep voice, “Lu Zhiyuan is seriously injured and can’t move easily. Moreover, he can’t get out of bed. Assassinating him now is the best choice. Letting a tiger return to the mountain will bring endless trouble. In our city, if you want to kill him, it’s as easy as pie.”

Some of the key figures in the underworld also agreed with Chen Rushi’s point of view. Allowing Lu Zhiyuan to leave was seen as a recipe for disaster.

“I don’t intend to kill him.” Pei Qiuying said leisurely. She sat at the head of the table, her long hair flowing like seaweed, making her look exceptionally beautiful and imposing.

After years of biding her time and concealing her abilities, Pei Qiuying now controlled all the assets of the underworld. With a single command, no one dared to defy her. She was no longer under anyone’s control.

“During Lu Zhiyuan’s racing event, you sent someone to shoot at him, causing the accident that almost took his life. Your intention was to kill him,” Chen Rushi said, puzzled. There had always been animosity between the underworld and Black Hawk.

“In the racing accident, he couldn’t have died!” Pei Qiuying remained composed. “There’s no need to discuss this matter. Lu Zhiyuan cannot die. Now, let’s discuss how we should deal with Rong Li and Ji Chi.”

Chen Rushi narrowed his eyes, clearly displeased. He was born into the Chen family, and from a young age, Chen Geng had raised him surrounded by a group of girls. He always had a somewhat condescending view of women, thinking that besides procreation, they were like flowers that could be easily plucked. When he entered the underworld, his ambitions swelled, and he had no intention of submitting to Pei Qiuying.

While Pei Qiuying had just gained control over him, she was highly respected. Chen Rushi had to avoid direct confrontation with her. However, when it came to Lu Zhiyuan, Chen Rushi was particularly persistent.

“Lu Zhiyuan is currently handicapped. A well-planned ambush on his way to the airport would certainly be successful. I don’t understand why you insist on sparing his life,” Chen Rushi said in a deep voice.

Pei Qiuying frowned. “Chen Rushi, are you questioning my orders?”

She asked calmly but with authority. Chen Rushi took a deep breath and noticed Pei Qiuying’s displeasure. “I just don’t understand.”

“You don’t need to understand!” Pei Qiuying said sternly. “You just need to know that 1 am the leader of the underworld. My orders are everything. You all need to execute them without needing to understand.”

Chen Rushi was publicly reprimanded, and it was clear that he was not happy about it. The original members of the underworld seemed to relish the situation, while those he had brought with him were growing angry.

Pei Qiuying also understood that she couldn’t have a public falling-out with Chen Rushi. She said calmly, “Today’s meeting ends here. Chen Rushi, please stay. 1 have something to discuss with you. The rest of you can leave.”

The others filed out of the meeting room..
