Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Gu Ci, long time no see!” Chen Rushi looked much more mature than five years ago, with a hint of frost at his temples. Once he had left the triad and Black Hawk, he had too many things to worry about. If one labored too much, they would age faster than others. This was inevitable!

Ji Chi could tell it was Chen Rushi. If anyone had the ambition and capability to respond to Tang Mingzhou, it was Chen Rushi. His ambition had always been as clear as day, just like Sima Zhao’s, and everyone knew it.

Rong Li and Ji Chi remained silent. Gu Ci leaned against a pillar. “Chen Rushi, the fact that we’re still alive means we’re still useful. Show us your injuries. If we die, it won’t benefit you either!”

Chen Rushi shrugged. “What can I do? There’s no doctor on the ship.”

“I am the doctor!”

“But we don’t have any tools!” Chen Rushi calmly looked at Rong Li’s wound. He walked over and suddenly stepped on Rong Li’s wound, causing fresh blood to gush out. Rong Li twitched in pain but didn’t make a sound. He was a tough guy. Ji Chi couldn’t bear it and rushed forward, angrily pushing him away. “Chen Rushi, get lost!”

“These are truly two loyal dogs of Lu Zhiyuan!” Chen Rushi even complained that his shoes were dirtied with blood and deliberately rubbed them on the floor, leaving a bloody mark. Qin Wan turned her gaze away in disgust. Although she didn’t like Rong Li, she disliked traitors like him even more.

“Rong Li, how are you? Rong Li…” Ji Chi crawled over to Rong Li. “Rong Li…”

Rong Li was in so much pain that he was almost passing out, but he struggled to say, “I’m fine, I won’t die!”

Chen Rushi and Rong Li had some personal grievances. If it weren’t for Rong Li acting as a stand-in for Lu Zhiyuan and handling Black Hawk’s affairs on his behalf, Lu Zhiyuan’s identity wouldn’t have been so well-hidden.

Rong Li had also seized the resources that should have belonged to the Chen family. When Black Hawk quickly gained a foothold and Rong Li remained loyal to Lu Zhiyuan, Chen Rushi tried to win him over. While Rong Li pretended to cooperate with him on the surface, he secretly reported everything to Lu Zhiyuan. The Chen family was expelled from the family power structure of Black Hawk, and Rong Li had made a significant contribution. How could Chen Rushi not hold a grudge?

This kick was intentionally aimed at Rong Li’s life!

Ji Chi secretly resented this and glanced at the ropes on the ground. He looked at Qin Wan, and Qin Wan also looked at Chen Rushi. New and old grievances would be settled together, and it was only fair. Our traditional culture always favored collective responsibility!

“We are wounded and crippled. There’s no benefit for you in killing us. If you wanted us dead, you would have done it already,” Gu Ci remained calm. “You don’t want to go down with us, do you?”

“I have you and Ji Chi in my hands, and those two aces are enough. Whether he lives or dies, who cares?” Chen Rushi approached Gu Ci and glanced at her abdomen. “Cici, following Lu Zhiyuan, do you regret it? Can he protect you?”

Gu Ci’s face turned pale due to excessive bleeding, and she broke into a cold sweat. “Didn’t anyone tell you that 1 broke up with Lu Zhiyuan five years ago?”

Suddenly, Ji Chi hooked the rope on the ground and threw it towards Qin Wan. Qin Wan’s right leg wrapped around the other end of the rope, and the two of them quickly flipped. The rope stretched across Chen Rushi’s chest, and he sneered, about to retaliate. However, Ji Chi and Qin Wan stood up, their legs skillfully maneuvering the rope upward, positioning it around his neck. Qin Wan and Ji Chi swapped positions, and after a few rounds, they had Chen Rushi’s neck ensnared. Each of them pulled from one side, causing Chen Rushi to scream in agony. Although he tried to put his hands between the rope and his neck, the two of them had him tightly wrapped up.

Ji Chi and Qin Wan couldn’t use their hands, so their legs replaced them, and each side of the rope pinned Chen Rushi down. Their synchronized movements formed a deadly technique.

Their coordination was impeccable!

“Chen Rushi, 1 can easily cut off your head with a little force!” Ji Chi said coldly. He tugged on the rope, and Chen Rushi was strangled, his face turning red, but he couldn’t make a sound.

Due to his heart condition, Chen Rushi couldn’t engage in strenuous physical activity. He always had someone protecting him when he traveled, so he was no match for Ji Chi and Qin Wan, both in terms of reflexes and agility.

Ji Chi returned all the pain that Chen Rushi had inflicted on Rong Li. “Useless!”

Gu Ci shook her head at him, indicating not to provoke Chen Rushi. Currently, Chen Rushi was struggling due to choking and pain. Ji Chi and Qin Wan loosened their grip slightly. Chen Rushi angrily warned, “If you dare to attack us, you won’t be able to escape!”

Ji Chi sneered, “I’m just telling you that killing you is simpler than slaughtering a chicken!”

Qin Wan coldly added, “You, a weakling like you, dare to be arrogant in front of us. If it weren’t for Rong Li being shot, we would all be tied up. Would you dare to come in?”

Ji Chi and Qin Wan had no intention of taking Chen Rushi’s life. They released him, as killing him would serve no purpose, and they couldn’t afford to take such risks at sea.

Chen Rushi took a few steps back, still trembling, and took deep breaths. A red mark appeared on his neck.

Gu Ci said, “Chen Rushi, you’re out of anger, and we’ve given you a scare. We are your captives. Since you don’t want us dead, unlock my handcuffs and give me a first aid kit. If Rong Li dies, there will be no negotiation between us.” Chen Rushi glared at Ji Chi and Qin Wan with hatred, then turned and left. “What if he doesn’t agree?” Ji Chi crouched beside Rong Li. “Rong Li, can you still hear me?”

“I won’t die!” Rong Li gritted his teeth. “Don’t worry about me. You’re the heir of Black Hawk. Chen Rushi won’t harm you.”

“Shut up!” Ji Chi said fiercely. “None of us will die!”

Gu Ci frowned, “If Chen Rushi remains indifferent, we’ll have to play our last card.”

“What card?”

Qin Wan snorted. “He thinks I’m his own sister.”

Rong Li and Ji Chi remained silent.

The guards under Chen Rushi’s command brought a first aid kit and unlocked Gu Ci’s handcuffs. One of the guards said, “There are no medical supplies on the ship. Whether you live or die depends on your own luck.”

Soon, heavily armed agents came down to the cabin, monitoring them from all angles.

Gu Ci opened the first aid kit and found that it didn’t contain many medical supplies, but at least there were some tools. She glanced at her own abdomen, quickly stopped the bleeding, and bandaged herself before proceeding to examine Rong Li’s gunshot wound.

Ji Chi and Qin Wan were still restrained and couldn’t help. Gu Ci cut open Rong Li’s clothes, cleaned the wound with alcohol, and found that the bullet had penetrated deeply. She had to remove all the bullet fragments.

There was no anesthetic or a complete set of surgical instruments in the first aid kit. Moreover, the ship was swaying in the sea, making it a challenging situation for Gu Ci’s medical skills. After a thorough examination, she could only say, “There’s no anesthesia or morphine. You’ll have to endure it.” “Bring it on!” Rong Li hadn’t made a sound since getting shot. The bullet was still lodged in his wound, and he was deteriorating rapidly. Gu Ci rolled up a piece of gauze and had him bite on it before starting to extract the bullet.

Qin Wan leaned against the side, watching Gu Ci cut open Rong Li’s wound. Rong Li was obviously in extreme pain, clenching the gauze tightly in his mouth. Ji Chi wanted to wipe his sweat, but he was restrained by the handcuffs. Ji Chi encouraged him, “Hang in there, Rong Li, don’t pass out..”
