Chapter 324: Am I Difficult to Serve?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Dr. North quickly communicated with the team members. Qin Wan lounged lazily on the sofa, realizing that taking Liu Bingwen’s daughter was the best option, but Gu Ci chose not to disturb the innocent.

One person takes action, and one person bears the consequences.

Qin Wan hoped that Liu Bingwen would be sensible. If he wasn’t, she didn’t mind defying orders and taking his daughter. In her eyes, the safety of Jiang Junlin was more important than anything else.

“Cici, there’s another issue,” Dr. North said. “The entire Dark Guard has turned traitor, and there’s trouble with Xiao Min on this front in Paris. None of the six people on this line are safe. I’ve already ordered them all to remain silent. That leaves us with a gap in our intelligence network, and it will be difficult to rescue the Master once we identify his location. It’s a tricky situation.”

In other words, they were short on manpower.

“I’ll get Black Hawk’s people to help!” Gu Ci said decisively.

“Black Hawk won’t interfere in our internal affairs. They’d rather see the Master dead,” Dr. North thought, considering Gu Ci’s relationship with Lu Zhiyuan, which might not be enough to convince him.

Gu Ci calmly said, “I’ve locked Lu Zhiyuan in a secret room. He’ll agree.”

“Wow!” Qin Wan’s eyes lit up. “Gu Ci, that’s brilliant!”

By manipulating Third Young Master, they didn’t need to worry about Rong Li refusing to act.

Gu Ci continued, “Since Xiao Min has betrayed us, Qin Wan, go take care of her.”

“Understood!” Qin Wan exhaled a smoke ring and got up to leave. Dr. North followed her and stopped her, giving Qin Wan a meaningful look. Qin Wan raised an eyebrow. “What’s the matter?”

“Be careful!” Dr. North had a thousand words to say but condensed them into a simple sentence.

Qin Wan looked puzzled. She arched her eyebrow. “For a small task like this, I’m very experienced. No need to worry.”

Gu Ci efficiently handled all the tasks. As dawn broke on the first day of the new year, chaos reigned. The first rays of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, and as the dawn grew, a beam of sunlight fell on the window. Gu Ci drew back the curtains, as if bathing in the rejuvenating sunlight.

After booking a flight to Paris at noon, she entered the secret room. Lu Zhiyuan had also not slept all night. Gu Ci handed him his phone and said, “Lu Zhiyuan, you save my brother, and 1’11 set you free. That’s the condition.”

She was indifferent and distant, her determination concealed by a layer of mist. Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t decipher her thoughts. Gu Ci unlocked the door and said, “I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll do as you wish. 1’11 see a doctor and heal myself. 1’11 forget about you and start anew.”

“Cici…” Lu Zhiyuan’s heart ached in silence. This was the outcome he wanted, yet it was also a result that left him in despair. People were so contradictory; the more they knew they couldn’t have something, the more they desired it.

He asked Gu Ci, “Why did you have a change of heart?”

Gu Ci’s eyes were slightly red. “I’ve abandoned my child once before. 1 don’t want to do it again. I don’t want to reach a point where I’m so insane that I don’t even recognize my own son. Lu Zhiyuan, 1 don’t believe your story, but 1 don’t want to be so stubborn anymore, destroying the only beautiful thing between you and me. I can stop pursuing you. From now on, marriage and destiny will have no connection. I admit defeat.”

Lu Zhiyuan calmly looked at her, and Gu Ci didn’t avoid his gaze. She was still stubborn, but there was something different about her. Lu Zhiyuan took the phone and, in front of Gu Ci, made a video call to Rong Li.

“Third Young Master?” Rong Li said, “1 was just about to talk to you about Ji Chi’s situation…”

Lu Zhiyuan said, “Our people in Paris will fully cooperate to rescue Jiang Junlin.”

“Third Young Master? Have you taken the wrong medicine?” Rong Li blurted out, incredulous.

Lu Zhiyuan’s expression darkened. “Did I not make myself clear enough?”

Rong Li remained silent for a few seconds. “1 understand. Do I need to contact the Dark Web?”

“No need. They’ve split up, and it’s unclear who’s trustworthy. Just follow Gu Ci’s command.”

“Yes!”

Lu Zhiyuan hung up the phone. He and Jiang Junlin were like two tigers on the same mountain, but for the sake of Gu Ci, he was willing to compromise. “I won’t interfere with the Dark Web.”

“Good!” Gu Ci quietly watched him. “Lu Zhiyuan, you can go now.”

Li Jiang hadn’t expected Lu Zhiyuan to walk out of the Blue Fields Villa on his own. He sat in the front passenger seat, stealing glances from time to time, very curious. Third Young Master had been imprisoned for the first time in his life, and he wondered what his thoughts were.

Miss Gu Ci might be a bit crazy, but at least she hadn’t harmed him.

“Li Jiang, have you seen enough?” Lu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, looking at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

“Third Young Master?” Li Jiang was puzzled. “You’re finally back?”

After all, he had never seen Third Young Master smile.

“Guess.”

“Third Young Master has never smiled, so it must be you who’s back,” Li Jiang said with a cheerful smile. “No wonder Miss Gu Ci let you go. To be honest, 1 missed you during this time when you weren’t around.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course, Third Master is not easy to serve. 1 was on edge the whole time, and 1 even lost weight.”

After all, guarding outside the Blue Fields Villa, taking shifts, not eating well, not sleeping well, indeed made a person lose weight.

Lu Zhiyuan’s face turned cold, and that chilling pressure spread through the carriage. “Is that so? Am 1 difficult to serve?”

Li Jiang didn’t know how to react.

Li Jiang stammered, breaking out in cold sweat. “Th-th-thr-third… Young… Young Master?”

Lu Zhiyuan leaned back comfortably, crossing his legs, and with a smile, he asked Li Jiang, “Scared, are you?”

He was on the verge of collapse. What on earth was happening? Was he Third Young Master or Third Master? Did he go insane like Miss Gu Ci after being locked up by her?

“Third Young Master, I was wrong. I’ll kneel for you. Please don’t scare me, okay?”

Lu Zhiyuan didn’t play with him any longer and calmly said, “Keep an eye on

Gu Ci’s movements and inform me at any time.”

“Understood. What about the situation in Paris?”

“I didn’t kick him when he was down; that’s my greatest kindness to Jiang Junlin. Leave it to Rong Li; he’ll handle it.” Lu Zhiyuan looked out the window and then asked abruptly, “Has Pei Qiuying returned to Paris?”

“Yes, the national security escorted her back to Paris.”

Lu Zhiyuan’s expression turned slightly cold. Pei Qiuying always seemed to do the right thing at the right time. She had ambitions beyond her abilities and a will that didn’t match her circumstances.

“The performance of the Dark Web is getting more and more exciting,” Lu Zhiyuan sneered. “I want to see how Jiang Junlin can escape this time.”

He had instructed Rong Li to cooperate with Gu Ci in rescuing Jiang Junlin. However, if Jiang Junlin’s life was demanded from above, a failed rescue would be considered normal. Who said rescues had to be successful?

Gu Ci left for the airport with her documents and two sets of clothes. She left a note for Gu Ziyu, who was still asleep when she departed. By the time Gu Ziyu woke up and saw the note, Gu Ci was already at the boarding gate.

“Ziyu, Mom is going to Paris for a while. I’ll be back in a few days. Please go to the Jiang family’s house during my absence. I’ve already arranged for someone to provide 24-hour protection, but I’m still not at ease. If possible, ask national security to assign additional personnel to deter anyone with ulterior motives.” Gu Ci knew that if they wanted to grab Liu Bingwen by the heartstrings, others might target Jiang Junlin as well..
