Unfortunately, among the eleven bodies, three of them were Black Hawk personnel, all from Ji Chi’s personal guard, and two were members of the Triad. At the time of the incident, these five individuals were relatively close to the center of the ship, near the source of the explosion. It was a cargo ship, and the rest were crew members. Gu Ci, Qin Wan, Ji Chi, Rong Li, fortunately, were not on board. Lu Zhiyuan and Jiang Junlin had already anticipated casualties, but when they saw the list, they were still furious!

Tang Mingzhou, he’s done for!

Both of them had this thought in their minds at the same time. Lu Zhiyuan and Jiang Junlin didn’t want Tang Mingzhou to die before this incident. If he died, it would bring them a lot of trouble. Now, they just wanted to tear him apart.

“Since we re going to cooperate, we need to be honest, Lu Zhiyuan, why do you want Tang Mingzhou to live?’1 Jiang Junlin asked in a deep voice. “I don’t want him to live, and the reason is simple, as you can guess. Why do you insist on keeping him alive? I can’t figure it out.11

“Both of you, leave!” Lu Zhiyuan said in a low voice.

Jiang Junlin nodded at Zhang Qiang, and Zhang Qiang and Li Jiang led their men out, with Li Jiang guarding the door.

“I’m not like normal people.”

Jiang Junlin taunted. “I can see that!”

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head. “That’s the literal meaning. Gu Ci and Ziyu both came back to life, and you should have guessed that I have memories from the previous life too. Jiang Junlin, once upon a time, Gu Ci jumped from the top of the Global Center but survived unscathed. Why? Because I caught her. This is a secret, known only to Li Jiang besides me. Gu Ci from the last life didn’t know it either. A few years ago, Gu Ci became suspicious and bet her life on it by jumping from the top of the Global Center, forcing me to reveal it. Tang Mingzhou knew about it earlier and had a video clip of it; that’s why he wanted to cultivate me. I can’t let him expose that video clip; it’s his trump card. 1 thought Tang Mingzhou was just setting a trap back then and didn’t pay much attention to it after he died, but he’s still alive, and he has patiently waited for several years. This is the bargaining chip he’s using in negotiations.”

“Are you making up a story?” Jiang Junlin asked expressionlessly.

Lu Zhiyuan said, “I know you had Gu Ci and me undergo a paternity test, and you’ve seen the results. Gu Ci’s background is a mystery, and to prevent investigation by the National Security, you even gave him a fake identity. Would you have gone to such lengths if he didn’t have a blood relationship with you?”

The matter of Gu Ziyu was their unspoken agreement, and no one had ever revealed this fact.

“That’s why 1 want Tang Mingzhou to live. If this video clip is made public, it will cause me a lot of trouble,” Lu Zhiyuan said lightly. “Back then, we did indeed clash due to differences in our beliefs, and 1 took action against him. After his death, the matter of the video clip faded away. I thought Tang Mingzhou was just creating suspicion and didn’t pay it any mind. But he’s still alive, and he has patiently waited for several years. This is the bargaining chip he’s using in negotiations.”

Jiang Junlin wasn’t interested in why he was different from ordinary people. “So, Tang Mingzhou s target is you?”

Lu Zhiyuan nodded!

Jiang Junlin sneered, “Now that we have no news about them, it’s good news. The worst-case scenario is that all four of them have been captured. I hope you can be sensible and exchange them back!”

Li Jiang,

Mr. Jiang, you are quite courageous!

Jiang Junlin and Lu Zhiyuan had more information to coordinate. They called in their informants, and in a rare display of openness, both sides shared what they knew about their respective strengths and weaknesses on Paradise Island. Only through honest cooperation could they have the best chance of rescuing the others.

“Without a doubt, Tang Mingzhou couldn’t have accomplished this on his own; there must be someone helping him,” Lu Zhiyuan said calmly. “Whether it’s Black Hawk or the Triad, he’s made a lot of enemies over the past decade. Tang Mingzhou is skilled at leveraging others’ power to achieve his goals. It won’t be difficult for him to recruit certain individuals to assist him. Li Jiang, follow this lead and investigate.”

“Yes, sir!”

Jiang Junlin glanced at the recorded actions of Ji Chi and Rong Li on Paradise Island. Every detail was meticulously documented. He raised a question, “Why was Ji Chi able to accurately locate Tang Mingzhou inside the casino?”

“Tang Mingzhou left a clue at his residence, directing the Black Hawk personnel to find him at the casino,’1 Lu Zhiyuan explained. “Ji Chi was known for his extravagant spending in the casino, so he kept an eye on Tang Mingzhou to prevent you from getting there first. Rong Li kept Qin Wan distracted, drawing most of the attention. Nors won’t be focused on the casino either; at most, he’d assign one or two people to watch Ji Chi. A few people couldn’t effectively monitor him.”

Jiang Junlin pulled up the surveillance footage of Ji Chi and Tang Mingzhou and carefully examined the people around the casino. It seemed that something was amiss in the casino. Tang Mingzhou wasn’t alone, and perhaps Ji Chi and l ang Mingzhou had been tracked when they left the casino.

They hadn’t noticed it when they were on the cargo ship.

‘I underestimated Tang Mingzhou!” Jiang Junlin regretted deeply. Due to legal constraints, he hadn’t Lulled Tang Mingzhou earlier, and this had led to the current situation, which was his biggest regret this year.

“Tang Mingzhou was also on the ship. When the ship exploded, he was in a life-threatening situation. Why would he choose to go down with the ship?” Lu Zhiyuan mused. “He wrongly believed that I had killed his wife and child. If I were on the ship, and he chose to go down with it, 1 could understand. But why…”

“Gu Ci was on the ship!” Jiang Junlin realized.

l ang Mingzhou wanted Lu Zhiyuan to experience the despair of losing a loved one.

Lu Zhiyuan’s face subtly changed, but he had been separated from Gu Ci for five years and had no contact with her. Why would Tang Mingzhou target Gu

“Black Hawk and the Triad have a global surveillance network. I’m curious about where he’s taking them,” Lu Zhiyuan pondered.

Li Jiang couldn’t help but remind them, “If his target is only Miss Gu Ci, perhaps she still has a chance, but for the others… it’s less certain.”

Jiang Junlin’s face darkened instantly. He didn’t need Li Jiang s reminder; when he realized this, he also became aware of it.

On the sea, inside the ship’s cabin.

Ji Chi was the first to wake up, his hands and feet bound. He had been awakened by a burst of gunfire. His arms were sore and stinging; his already troubled arm had been burned by the fire, but luckily, it was just a flesh wound. He couldn’t move his hands and feet. Ji Chi tried to observe the cabin, and he saw that Gu Ci, Qin Wan, and Rong Li were also there. Gu Ci had a gunshot wound to her abdomen, with blood staining her clothes.

The condition of the others wasn’t much better. Ji Chi shifted his body upward and used his head to support Rong Li. “Rong Li, wake up, Rong Li….”
