Shocking! She Returned with a Miniature Bigshot

He never expected that Ji Chi’s words from their previous life would be thrown back at him in this one.

“My left hand has been injured twice in five days. It’s infected with bacteria, but he insists on treating it himself. He’s forcing me to go to the hospital!” Ji Chi’s lips curled into a smile. “But I won’t go. I’ll resist him!”

“If you resist any longer, you’ll end up losing your hand!”

“I don’t care!”

Gu Ziyu was furious. “If that’s the case, why don’t you go to the kitchen, find a knife, and cut it off yourself? Why pretend to be miserable? Will anyone pity you?”

These words touched Ji Chi’s sensitive nerve, and he looked at Gu Ziyu with a gloomy, tsundere expression.

“Seriously, your way of seeking attention is self-harm, isn’t it?” Gu Ziyu said expressionlessly. “Why not just find someone to brainwash my uncle, make him forget everything, and say that he’s your subordinate who should listen to you? How about that?”

Ji Chi’s eyes lit up, showing some interest.

Gu Ziyu couldn’t believe it. “Are you actually considering it? With such a valuable opportunity, if you get rid of the underworld, my uncle will listen to you more. Why lock yourself in this predicament?”

Ji Chi slumped, and Gu Ziyu found it frustrating. He couldn’t fully understand their relationship – not just Ji Chi’s, but also Gu Ci’s. Gu Ziyu couldn’t fathom why, out of all the men in the world, they had to be the ones.

“Bro, don’t be like this,” Gu Ziyu raised an eyebrow. “How about 1 arrange for someone to brainwash you and become a happy young man? Why choose the darkest path?”

“Absolutely not!” Ji Chi responded firmly. “Even if my heart is in hell, 1 won’t forget anything.”

“Fine!” Gu Ziyu gave up. “I need to talk to my uncle. Can you stay and listen? It’s important!”

Since the last altercation between Ji Chi and Jiang Junlin, Ji Chi had been holed up in his room for three days, monitoring him. Gu Ziyu noticed Ji Chi’s indifference and said, “This matter has nothing to do with the Underground or Black Hawk. I won’t be a messenger for anyone. In my heart, you’re even closer to me than Lu Zhiyuan.”

After all, his father only existed in videos, while Ji Chi had been there in person for over a decade.

Ji Chi seemed touched by these words. “Am 1 more important than Lu Zhiyuan?”

“Yes,” Gu Ziyu said earnestly, “In my heart, besides my mother, you’re the most important. So, I really have something important to discuss with my uncle. Is that okay?”

Ji Chi remained unmoved.

Gu Ziyu exploded, “You can’t expect me to prioritize you over my mother. 1 didn’t spend ten months in her womb for you!”

Ji Chi couldn’t help but laugh. It was the first time in over a month that he had laughed.

“Fine!” Ji Chi said, “Nick, bring Jiang Junlin up here!”

Nick went downstairs to bring Jiang Junlin upstairs, and Gu Ziyu seized the opportunity to say, “You really need to go to the hospital for your hand.”

“The Underground members are nearby, and they’ve likely identified their target. But they’re not making any rash moves. If I go to the hospital, they might rescue him,” Ji Chi said calmly. “It’s not possible!”

Even if the Underground had identified their target, they would be cautious.

Gu Ziyu furrowed his brow and went straight to the point, “Ji Chi, my uncle is an exceptional person, and he’s become so selective. It’s clear he’s very picky about his future partner. He’s not like Little Dragon Girl from ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’ who stayed by Yang Guo’s side even after he lost his arm. Can you imagine that? Do you think your forearm has become that important?” “What Little Dragon Girl? Yang Guo?” Ji Chi asked, confused.

“It’s from a TV series. Yang Guo lost his arm, but Little Dragon Girl never left his side. They still got married and traveled the world together. My uncle… well, do you think that’s even remotely possible? Think about it. Has your forearm suddenly become that crucial?”

Ji Chi remained silent.

Gu Ziyu continued, “I’m really tired. 1 have to keep an eye on my mom to prevent her from going crazy, and now I have to watch over you too? We’re all adults here; let’s be mature.”

“I just want…” Ji Chi began speaking, but he was interrupted by the sudden arrival of Jiang Junlin, escorted by Nick. Gu Ziyu exclaimed, “Ji Chi, are you even human? Uncle, why have you become so thin?”

Jiang Junlin, who was already a picky eater, had been locked up for over a month, eating poorly and sleeping even worse. He and Ji Chi had been tormenting each other, resulting in his significant weight loss and numerous bruises on his face and body.

Ji Chi, who had been on the same floor for days, saw sunlight for the first time in a while. It was a bit blinding, and his eyes squinted as he gazed fixedly at Jiang Junlin.

Indeed, Jiang Junlin had lost a considerable amount of weight. He must have shed at least twenty pounds!

He ate every day, so why did he become so thin?

When Jiang Junlin appeared, Ji Chi, who had been like an injured animal, wanted his comfort. However, he received nothing. Not even a glance from Jiang Junlin.

“Uncle, are you sick?” Gu Ziyu furrowed his brow. “Ji Chi, what have you done?”

There was pain in Ji Chi’s eyes. Jiang Junlin always seemed to know how to hurt him.

Jiang Junlin didn’t even spare Ji Chi a glance and asked Gu Ziyu, “What’s the matter?”

Gu Ziyu glanced at Ji Chi, thinking that Ji Chi wasn’t going to leave. So he explained, “Uncle, it’s like this. About the information from the Underground’s dark web, can you share a bit more with me?”

Even as a prisoner, Jiang Junlin, with his gaunt face, still exuded a commanding presence when he furrowed his brow.

“I have nothing to tell you.” Jiang Junlin responded firmly.

If Jiang Junlin easily revealed secrets, the Underground’s dark web wouldn’t have remained hidden for so many years without a trace. Gu Ziyu persisted, “What if someone within the dark web wants to kill you and take your place?” “Then it’s a matter of skill. Let’s see who comes out on top,” Jiang Junlin said indifferently. “Baby, your identity is unique, and I can’t tell you, no matter what reason you have for asking.”

“What if someone within the Underground’s dark web betrays you?” Gu Ziyu pressed on.

“I never make baseless assumptions,” Jiang Junlin replied in a solemn tone. “There’s no need to worry about things that haven’t happened yet. There’s always a way when the time comes.”

“Very well!” Gu Ziyu admired Jiang Junlin’s mindset, one he had yet to attain through his own experiences..
