Rong Li swept her sleeves and left.
Zhang Qiang looked at Xiao Min with a cold smile, “Why did you betray the master?”
“I had my reasons,” Xiao Min looked guilty, “I’m sorry!”
“After being undercover for years, you let your heart be swayed by love for the enemy, and you call that ‘reasons’? Ridiculous!” Qin Wan said, “Your days are numbered, the underworld never tolerates traitors.”
Xiao Min’s secret was exposed, her face flushed with shame and anger, but she had no words to refute. She turned and left in a hurry.
Zhang Qiang asked Qin Wan in disbelief, “Did she fall in love with Rong Li and betray the master?”
“Otherwise?” Qin Wan replied.
“Is she out of her mind?” Zhang Qiang was shocked, “Xiao Min is mentally strong, she undergoes psychological tests every year, and there’s no sign of betrayal. Yet she did it all for the sake of love.”
“Love can make people lose their reason,” Qin Wan got into the car, “She’s blinded by it. Don’t worry, I’ll send two bullets with one shot to get rid of the annoyance for the master.”
Dr. North was speechless.
She had figured it out. Little Cherry was a loyal follower of Jiang Junlin, and she belonged to the most dangerous kind.
Could she secretly love Jiang Junlin?
Little Cherry was young, and it was perfectly normal to fall in love with such a remarkable man. But if she truly loved Jiang Junlin, she was destined to be hurt because Jiang Junlin’s heart… belonged to someone else.
When Ji Chi woke up, his head was throbbing, and he had a serious intracranial hemorrhage. He needed to rest quietly. Struggling to wake up, he felt dizzy and grabbed Nick, “Where’s Jiang Junlin?”
Nick supported him and knew that his master would ask about Jiang Junlin when he woke up. Nick said, “Rong Li is also looking for him. Don’t worry, well find him.”
Ji Chi’s head ached, and he remembered being knocked unconscious. He wondered how he ended up in the Black Hawk. “What’s going on? Why am 1 here?”
He felt that he was in deep trouble and thought he would die, but he was surprised to find himself alive.
Nick explained the situation, “The people from the underworld brought you to the Black Hawk’s doorstep. We don’t know the details, but Jiang Junlin is missing. Now, Rong Li and the underworld’s dark web are working together to find him.”
Ji Chi felt a surge of emotions and, in his excitement, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Surprisingly, it made him feel a bit better. Ji Chi pushed the covers aside and got out of bed, determined. “No, I have to find him!”
“Master, you need to recover from your injuries first. Third Master is on the plane too. Don’t worry, Jiang Junlin is lucky and will be fine,” Nick didn’t know how to console him.
Ji Chi changed into fresh clothes and put on his coat. Nick knew he couldn’t stop him, so he gathered all the information and reported it to him. Just as Ji Chi was about to leave, Rong Li returned, and he was in a very irritable mood. He kicked the door open roughly.
“You’re awake?” He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ji Chi but then furrowed his brow, “Why are you getting up without taking care of your injuries?”
“Have you found Jiang Junlin?” Ji Chi asked.
“He’s dead!” Rong Li said impatiently, opened a bottle of wine, poured a glass, and downed it in one gulp. Trouble always followed when dealing with the underworld’s dark web.
“What?” Ji Chi’s anger surged, and he felt a metallic taste in his throat. Nick was shocked, “Master, don’t scare me.”
Rong Li looked at him and then put down the glass heavily, “I was kidding. We haven’t found him yet. If you keep going, you’ll be the one in danger.”
“You…” Ji Chi was furious and threw a punch at Rong Li, “How dare you joke about this!”
Rong Li evaded his fist, grabbed his wrist, and wanted to give him a good lesson, but when he saw Ji Chi’s bruised and battered appearance, his heart softened. He pushed him away, “When you woke up, you only asked about Jiang Junlin. Did you ever ask about us? I was ambushed and nearly killed. Did you care about my life or death?”
“You’re not Jiang Junlin!” Ji Chi sneered, “You’re so lively. Could an assassin touch a hair on your head?”
“Heh…” Rong Li sneered, “When a child grows up, they stop listening to their mother, and their heart follows a wild man. It seems that saying is true. Ji Chi, you’ll die at Jiang Junlin’s hands sooner or later. You’ve lost half your life in this ordeal. You’re truly beyond redemption.”
“Stop the nonsense. What’s the situation?” Ji Chi didn’t ask Nick, as he knew that Rong Li was more informed.
Rong Li took a deep breath and suppressed his temper, “All of Jiang Junlin’s undercover agents have betrayed him. In the Paris intelligence network, two more traitors have emerged. Technically, they aren’t traitors; they’re just changing their loyalty to another person. He was taken away by the traitors. 1 guess they want to bring him back alive because he knows too much. It would be a waste if he died. To completely control the underworld, they need to have all the information about it. Jiang Junlin is very clever; he’s fragmented all his information, giving pieces to the people he trusts. Only he knows the full extent of the underworld. He can’t die for the time being. Today, they used a diversion to lead us and the dark web people to the South Dock. It’s just a feint. We still haven’t received any news about him. The harbor, the airport, and the highways are all guarded. Unless he’s killed and chopped into pieces and flushed down the toilet, otherwise, he won’t be able to escape from Paris, so just focus on recovering.”
“He’s definitely alive. With the underworld’s dark web in Gu Ci’s hands, he won’t die,” Ji Chi understood Jiang Junlin very well. No matter what kind of dire situation he faced, he would find a way to survive.
“Give me all the information, and I’ll investigate it myself.”
Rong Li said, “Your hands are nearly ruined, and you still won’t take care of yourself. Third Master has given his orders, and 1 won’t go against them. We’ll definitely find him. So, relax!”
“With the current situation, I can’t just focus on my injuries.”
“You’re truly an unparalleled romantic.” Rong Li couldn’t help but want to kick him, “Xiao Min, gather all the information for him.”
“Yes!” Xiao Min stepped forward.
“Wait!” Ji Chi narrowed his eyes and said in a serious tone, “You go out first. I need to talk to Rong Li.”
Xiao Min glanced at Rong Li and complied, “Alright!”
Ji Chi signaled Nick to leave as well, and Nick obediently stepped outside. He made sure to keep Xiao Min away from them so he could eavesdrop on Ji Chi and Rong Li’s conversation.
Rong Li asked, “What’s the matter?”
“What’s the deal with Xiao Min?” Ji Chi furrowed his brows, “You knew she was an undercover agent planted by Jiang Junlin, and you never mentioned it to me.”
“Xiao Min was planted by him around me. Why would 1 mention it to you?” Rong Li drew a clear line between personal and private matters. “Your relationship with him is ambiguous, and it’s complicated. If you were to get manipulated by him, all my arrangements would be in vain.”
“Why did she betray Jiang Junlin?”
Under Jiang Junlin’s rule, there were rarely any betrayals over the years. The mass betrayal this year, with the entire team of undercover agents turning against him, was a highly unusual situation.
“Ji Chi, don’t you know why?”
“Why?”
“Because of you. She became a source of concern due to her association with you, and it brought her nothing but trouble.”
“How is that possible?” Ji Chi adamantly denied any connection to this matter. It had nothing to do with him..
