Even in chaos, the Triad couldn’t be shaken. He disappeared without a word, and all resources and power fell silent. It wouldn’t provide any support to Pei Qiuying.

What was lost was only money.

Money was the least of his concerns!

He had to stay calm; it wasn’t an irreversible situation yet. When did Ji Chi start planning his confinement? During this time, he hadn’t seen any clues.

His phone lay nearby, and Jiang Junlin picked it up. As expected, there was no signal; this place blocked all satellite signals. Without a signal, the phone was just a piece of scrap metal.

Jiang Junlin glanced at the ring, his gaze gradually calming.

He had two groups of bodyguards. One led by Zhang Qiang was always by his side, and the other remained in the shadows, tracking his every move. Ji Chi couldn’t keep him locked up here forever!

Jiang Junlin closed his eyes, threw himself onto the bedding, and for once, he felt a bit despondent. “This is absurd!”

He knew Ji Chi had always wanted to confine him, but it had been nothing more than a passing thought, a moment of amusement. Jiang Junlin hadn’t expected Ji Chi to actually take action!

The snow in Paris had stopped.

Gu Ci hadn’t expected that before leaving, Chen Rushi would come to see her. Chen Rushi said, “Cici, you must be very disappointed in me.”

“Mr. Chen, you’re exaggerating. We have no ties, neither friends nor enemies. I can barely consider myself someone who once treated a patient. I had no expectations of you, so there’s no room for disappointment.” Gu Ci looked at him calmly.

Chen Rushi sat in a wheelchair, looking somewhat haggard. It was evident that his injuries hadn’t fully healed. His bodyguards were not far away, watching Gu Ci vigilantly. Chen Rushi said, “Cici, leave Lu Zhiyuan. If you stay by his side, you’ll have endless trouble.”

“Chen Rushi, you’re crossing a line,” Gu Ci’s voice was cold. “Our relationship is superficial, and it’s inappropriate to speak so intimately.”

“I know!” Chen Rushi said self-deprecatingly. “I said I liked you, and you didn’t believe me. If Lu Zhiyuan were just a global racing champion, being with him would at most lead to fanatical attention and harassment. But he’s the Third Master of the Black Hawk. During the Black Hawk management council that day, everyone knew that you’re Lu Zhiyuan’s weakness. Pei Qiuying is determined to get Lu Zhiyuan, and with you by his side, disaster is inevitable. Pei Qiuying is a madwoman. She’ll stop at nothing to get what she wants. If you don’t leave Lu Zhiyuan, you won’t have a good ending.”

“Leaving him won’t make her relent. My feud with Pei Qiuying is settled. There’s no point in discussing it further.” Gu Ci’s tone was resolute. “Unless 1 die, Lu Zhiyuan won’t be able to leave my side. Pei Qiuying is a madwoman… Hahaha…”

Gu Ci laughed manically. “Who isn’t a madman in this world?”

Chen Rushi keenly sensed a kind of frenzied determination in Gu Ci that contradicted her normally calm demeanor. In his eyes, this young girl was usually aloof and composed. How could she possess such a frenzied determination?

“You’ll regret this!” Chen Rushi said. “Pei Qiuying and you are not of the same world.”

“I never regret my decisions,” Gu Ci said calmly. “Chen Rushi, you’ve defected from the Black Hawk and joined the Triad. Pei Qiuying is your mistress now. Given your personality, even submitting to Lu Zhiyuan would be like a bone stuck in your throat. How could you willingly obey Pei Qiuying? You fundamentally look down on women, considering them mere playthings for men’s leisure. Do you think you’ll willingly obey Pei Qiuying?”

“I won’t submit to her,” Chen Rushi had his own ambitions. “If it weren’t for Lu Zhiyuan’s sudden rise back then, I would be the one in control of the Black Hawk. He has no foundation in the Black Hawk, so why should he overshadow me? I won’t accept it!”

Men’s desire for power, especially someone like Chen Rushi, born into a prominent family as a crown prince, had an even stronger desire for power. “Cici, Lu Zhiyuan won’t be able to protect you. Leaving him is your best choice.” “I don’t need him to protect me,” Gu Ci said casually. “Chen Rushi, my affairs have nothing to do with you.”

Getting too personal was inappropriate.

Chen Rushi also knew that Gu Ci wouldn’t listen to advice. “If one day you need my help, no matter where I am, I’ll come to your side. I owe you a life. Although our Chen family may use any means necessary, we will always repay our debts.”

“Using a debt to manipulate is not appropriate, but if you genuinely want to repay it, I won’t refuse,” Gu Ci smiled and a hint of snow dusted her brows and eyes. “Then let’s start a battle with Pei Qiuying sooner rather than later.” “Cici, are you using me as a pawn?” Chen Rushi chuckled.

Gu Ci contemplated for a moment. “Chen Rushi, it’s not that I look down on you. In a battle between you and Pei Qiuying, it’s uncertain who will win in the end. Put away your arrogance and don’t underestimate women. Both Lu Zhiyuan and my brother have been nurturing Pei Qiuying for six years. Even Lu Zhiyuan and my brother haven’t seen through her yet. What makes you think you can be a hundred percent certain of victory?”

Chen Rushi was momentarily stunned and then smiled. “Thanks for the reminder, Cici. I’ll be careful.”

When Gu Ci returned to her hospital room, Li Jiang had packed everything up. They set off for the airport, and Gu Ci remained vigilant throughout the journey. Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t move, and a single car accident could cost him his life. Therefore, Li Jiang had to ensure nothing went wrong.

Pei Qiuying didn’t appear at all during the trip, and Gu Ci breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t want any complications on this journey, nor did she want any entanglement between Lu Zhiyuan and Pei Qiuying.

They arrived safely back in City A.

They used a special passage and didn’t encounter any fans. Lu Zhiyuan’s trip back to China had been kept extremely confidential, with no information leaked to the racing league or anyone else.

In the parking lot, Gu Ziyu waved when he saw Gu Ci, rushing over and his cheeks were flushed. “Mom, I missed you so much!”

Gu Ci also missed Gu Ziyu terribly. She had originally planned to spend New Year’s with him but had to cancel. Now, seeing her son and hugging him, giving him a kiss, the mother and son were exceptionally affectionate. Lu Zhiyuan lay on the medical vehicle, watching Gu Ziyu and Gu Ci, feeling an unfamiliar warmth in his heart.

His son… his own flesh and blood!

Blood was thicker than water, truly a mysterious thing. He felt an inexplicable closeness when he first saw Gu Ziyu.

Gu Ziyu was surprised to discover that Gu Ci was in a terrible state.

“Is it because taking care of him was too exhausting? You didn’t sleep well, didn’t eat well, did you? You’ve lost so much weight.”

Gu Ci was naturally slim, but in these past ten days, she had visibly lost even more weight, as if a strong wind could blow her away.

“Yeah, 1 didn’t sleep well, didn’t eat well.”

“When we get home, I’ll take good care of you!” Gu Ziyu glanced inside the medical vehicle and whispered, “Does he… know me?”

Gu Ci hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

Gu Ziyu understood. Only the Third Master knew; his daytime father was still unaware of his existence.

“Big brother, are you okay?” Gu Ziyu climbed into the medical vehicle and

poked at his casted hand. “You look like a mummy..”
