Chapter 114: Pure-hearted Young Man

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Ziyu had doubts in his heart. His father was a race car driver, so why were all his security vehicles bulletproof cars? To confirm his speculation, when they returned to the Global Sports Center underground parking lot and after the bodyguards helped them unload their luggage, Gu Ziyu asked them to go ahead and waited for them to leave. Then he took a glance at Lu Zhiyuan’s private garage.

There were over 200 parking spaces, with more than 100 sports cars and over 20 off-road bulletproof vehicles.

Gu Ci asked, “Baby, what’s wrong?”

“Mom, Dad is a race car driver, so why does his security team have only bulletproof cars?” Gu Ziyu squinted his eyes. “The old man is of such high rank that he deserves bulletproof cars, while the State Security Agency, ranked below him, has ordinary security vehicles.”

Gu Ci had doubts for a long time, but out of trust in Lu Zhiyuan, she didn’t investigate further. Lu Zhiyuan’s Global Center was managed by managers, and he didn’t bother with the official affairs of the Dynasty Racing Team. He focused on training and racing and didn’t have much time. But Third Master had always been handling official matters. Could it be that he trained and raced during the day and handled the Global Center’s affairs at night?

“It must be because he’s too rich!” Gu Ci said. “It’s the standard for a CEO to have bulletproof security cars. What if someone takes a risk and tries to kidnap him?”

Gu Ziyu was still puzzled.

Gu Ci pondered for a moment and said, “Baby, you’ve been quite concerned about your dad’s affairs lately.”

“After all, he’s my dad, and there’s no time to change him.” Gu Ziyu smiled. “I have to care a little bit, right?”

“You make sense, and Mom doesn’t plan on finding you a new dad.”

Mother and son laughed and went upstairs. Zhou Jinjin’s live broadcast had ended, and she had already ordered ten catties of crayfish. “Cici, bring Ziyu down to have a late-night snack together.”

In City A, at a clubhouse.

Ji Chi and Lu Zhiyuan reported on their recent work, which had yielded significant results. In just one week, Ji Chi had established a stable position in the Black Hawk’s Asian division and reached three collaborations with Hualan Bank.

Black Hawk Group and Hualan Bank had never been on good terms. The animosity had a long history. Ten years ago, when Jiang Junlin was still studying, he was kidnapped while traveling in Country M, and the kidnappers demanded one billion dollars from Hualan Bank. Jiang Junlin fought against the kidnappers and managed to escape from their hideout in a foreign country. However, the kidnappers double-crossed him and the Black Hawk Group, causing a falling out over the distribution of the spoils. Seventeen-year-old Jiang Junlin was framed by the Black Hawk Group and narrowly escaped death, leaving behind a grudge.

Several years later, when Jiang Junlin took charge of Hualan Bank, he cut off all cooperation with Black Hawk Group. As a result, Black Hawk Group faced difficulties in financing in City A, and three successive CEOs were rejected at the doors of Hualan Bank.

“How did you convince Jiang Junlin?” Lu Zhiyuan flipped through the report casually and asked.

Ji Chi propped his legs up, held a cigar in his mouth, but didn’t light it. He smiled in a captivating manner, “Women and bribery.”

Li Jiang frowned.

If Jiang Junlin could be swayed by beauty and bribery, why did the previous three CEOs all fail? Each one of them had used their charm, Li Jiang remembered one time when a group of beauties surrounded Jiang Junlin at dinner, but he remained unmoved.

The Asian President snapped his fingers, “This batch is of the wrong gender, replace them!”

A group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old handsome young men filed in, but they also returned empty-handed, didn’t they?

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at Ji Chi, who still had an enchanting smile. He decided not to ask further. The process was unimportant; he cared about the results. “The goal by the end of the year is to regain control over the Asian financial market and the gold market controlled by the Triad.”

“Yes!” Ji Chi smelled the cigar, exuding confidence and sharpness. “Rest assured, Third Master.”

Ji Chi shared another piece of news with Lu Zhiyuan. “Chen Rushi has been looking for Doctor North recently. The disappeared Doctor North has appeared in City A, and Chen Rushi might come for a visit.”

“Why is he looking for Doctor North?”

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head. “Doctor North raised him, and she was devoted to Chen Geng. She learned about cardiovascular surgery for Chen Geng and cured his heart disease. They had a deep affection for each other. After Chen Geng’s surgery, his health had been good, and he wanted to hold a wedding with Doctor North. However, Doctor North didn’t show up at the wedding. Chen Geng suffered a heart attack during the ceremony, and the doctor discovered chronic toxins in his heart that shouldn’t have been there, which took his life. After that, Doctor North disappeared from Country M. If Chen Rushi wants to find Doctor North, it’s probably to avenge his father’s death.”

Li Jiang remembered some gossip, “Third Master, 1 heard that Doctor North had a daughter with Chen Geng. The daughter inherited Chen Geng’s congenital heart disease and was smothered to death by Doctor North.”

Ji Chi raised an eyebrow, “Wow, how frightening. Is it true?”

“It’s true!” Li Jiang was adept at collecting gossip. “A tiger doesn’t eat its cubs. She’s a ruthless person too.”

“Every member of the Chen family is ruthless.”

Listening to their gossip, Lu Zhiyuan pondered and said, “Chen Rushi should have looked for Doctor North a few years ago. Why is he suddenly looking for her now? She disappeared for several years, and Chen Rushi didn’t make any moves.”

Ji Chi joked, “Hatred can come suddenly. Perhaps Chen Rushi had a moment of clarity during his father’s memorial and realized that he hadn’t avenged her father’s death yet.”

Lu Zhiyuan thought about it.

Li Jiang, “That actually makes sense, fitting your twisted way of thinking.”

“Little Li Jiang, stop teasing. I’m a pure and innocent young man.”

“What little Li Jiang? I’m older than you!”

Ji Chi’s gaze subtly shifted to a certain place, and he said firmly, “1 don’t believe it!”

Li Jiang blushed, “You… You… Ridiculous!”

“Third Master, do all your body guards embarrass so easily?”

“It’s you with thick skin!” Li Jiang turned away, ignoring him.

Ji Chi couldn’t contain his amusement. Lu Zhiyuan closed the report and didn’t mind their banter. “We’ve just reestablished our relationship with Hualan Bank; we need to maintain it.”

Ji Chi licked his cigar and had a somewhat mischievous expression. “That’s a given!”

Lu Zhiyuan warned him, “Ji Chi, this is the domestic market, not Country M. Be cautious in your actions and don’t go overboard.”

Ji Chi looked at Lu Zhiyuan earnestly. “Third Master, I’m a law-abiding citizen. 1 smile when discussing cooperation, earn money legally, and pay taxes. I’m a pure and law-abiding citizen.”

Li Jiang laughed mockingly, “Who doesn’t know about your virtues?”

“Oh!” Ji Chi propped up his legs. “Tell me about it.”

Li Jiang was about to retort when Lu Zhiyuan glanced at him, causing him to close his mouth. Lu Zhiyuan said, “Alright, let me know if there’s any news about Chen Rushi.”

Ji Chi nodded. “Should I continue maintaining contact with the Young Master?”

“If he contacts you, you should keep in touch.”

“Understood.” Ji Chi’s mind was as clear as a mirror. “If Third Master wants the Young Master to join Black Hawk, I’ll make sure to brainwash him constantly. He’s currently focused on helping me rise to the top. I’ll tell him that if he doesn’t get rid of you, 1 won’t be able to ascend.”

Li Jiang was speechless.

Damn, you have some audacity!

Surprisingly, Lu Zhiyuan didn’t get angry. There was a faint smile at the corners of his lips. “You can give it a try. It would be interesting to see if you can rise to the top..
