Jiang Junlin said, “This is your hard-earned money, it’s only right. Just a moment, Ji Chi, bring over twenty euros!”

The young boy’s eyes lit up at the thought of twenty euros as pocket money, quite enticing indeed.

He turned back to the young girl and gave her a light smile. The young girl also grinned, her happiness evident. As the tune came to an end, the young girl hit the replay button. Ji Chi was about to prepare medicine when he heard Jiang Junlin’s words. He brought over twenty euros, which Jiang Junlin accepted and handed to the young boy before taking the groceries and closing the door.

After listening to the latter half, then the first half, they had essentially finished listening to the entire song.

Ji Chi furrowed his brows and said, “Why did you give him such a sum of money, brother? Let me remind you, we only have a thousand euros left.”

They were really strapped for cash!

“He braved the snowstorm to help us shop, giving him a tip is only fair,” Jiang Junlin replied casually. He tossed the vegetables and fruits to Ji Chi for handling and sat down to relax.

Jiang Junlin replayed the tune in his mind, extracting the information from it.

Qin Wan was nearby, and two groups from the underground network were looking for him. The suspicious list of names provided by Gu Ci was also hinted at in the song. Jiang Junlin furrowed his brow; he hadn’t expected Dr. North to be directing things in Paris.

His injury had healed well enough, and Ji Chi could take care of himself. It was time to leave!

Plans couldn’t keep up with changes. As night fell, Ji Chi furrowed his brows as he watched the surveillance footage. “Brother, we have trouble.”

Jiang Junlin leaned in to take a look. Next door, the woman’s husband had brought six burly men to seek revenge. Ji Chi squinted slightly as he looked at the last burly man. “Tough guy, not easy to beat!”

Being tough also meant he was good at fighting!

The two exchanged glances as the men reached the doorstep. They banged on the door loudly, and the man shouted in French, demanding that they come out. One of them kicked the door, causing a commotion that alerted the neighbors.

Jiang Junlin and Ji Chi quickly grabbed their gear and money, using a secure passage to leave. They couldn’t get entangled with these people; it would surely attract the police if the neighbors were alarmed.

Once the police arrived for an investigation, only Ji Chi’s identification was in the safe house; there was no record of Jiang Junlin. It would undoubtedly become a major issue, a fatal blow to Jiang Junlin.

As they had expected, the woman heard the commotion, called the police first, and came out to stop them. Her husband pointed his finger at her angrily, “Go back inside; we’ll settle the score with you later!”

The young girl started crying again and was pulled close by her brother. Her brother looked at their biological father with disgust and said, “Mom, come back!”

Since they had called the police, they could leave it to the authorities to handle!

Qin Wan had been observing with binoculars all along. She furrowed her brow and swiftly packed her bag before coming downstairs. She followed Jiang Junlin’s car at a leisurely pace. Jiang Junlin and Ji Chi made their way down through a secure passage and got into the car.

“Brother, my only safe house is gone. You wouldn’t have come to Paris without preparing at least one safe house, right? I don’t believe it!” This was a question Ji Chi had wanted to ask Jiang Junlin for a while. It’s a wise rabbit who has three burrows, and the safe houses registered with the underground network were off-limits for him. But he had his own safe houses that only he knew about.

Jiang Junlin responded indifferently and set a navigation route. It turned out there was a safe house just five kilometers from Ji Chi’s current location.

Ji Chi raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a sly smile. “You hid it pretty well!”

Who had been so insistent that he didn’t have any safe houses, and they were all prepared by the underground network? Now they were probably all under surveillance. Jiang Junlin was indeed cunning!

Qin Wan was a sniper and an assassin. She was the best at hiding her tracks. Combined with Jiang Junlin’s protection, it should have been enough. However, Ji Chi, who had braved the dangers of life countless times, possessed a keen, wolf-like instinct. When he suddenly slowed down and abruptly turned around a corner, Jiang Junlin’s heart skipped a beat.

“Ji Chi, what are you doing?” Jiang Junlin asked.

“We have a tail following us!” Ji Chi’s face was ice-cold. He accelerated rapidly out of the alley, and they ran into Qin Wan. Qin Wan reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes to avoid his reckless collision. The snowy road made the car slide to the side. Ji Chi pulled out a gun and was about to shoot at the driver’s seat when Jiang Junlin grabbed his wrist and said through gritted teeth, “He’s mine!”

Ji Chi looked puzzled.

Inside Jiang Junlin’s safe house, Qin Wan and Ji Chi sat on either side of Jiang Junlin. If looks could kill, they would have murdered each other countless times by now.

Jiang Junlin hadn’t expected his “person” to be a young, beautiful girl.

“Jiang Junlin, when did you get in touch with her?” Ji Chi’s voice was cold.

Jiang Junlin was tired and didn’t feel like talking.

“Speak up!” Ji Chi growled, a despair that was like having salt rubbed into his wounds evident in his voice. It was their secret, between him and his brother, but now there was one more person who knew about it, like salt on his wounds. “Master, I want to kill him!” Qin Wan’s gun was already itching to be used. This person dared to be so arrogant in front of her. He really didn’t want to live anymore. “Who are you shouting at?”

“With a little girl like you, I could kill ten of you in one breath!”

“With a young man like you, 1 could kill ten of you too!”

Another round of glaring at each other, and Jiang Junlin took a deep breath and rubbed his stomach. “I’m hungry.”

Qin Wan got up, saying, “Master, 1’11 go cook!”

“Get lost, I don’t need you!” Ji Chi snapped.

“Oh…” Qin Wan lazily sat back down, crossing her legs. “I didn’t expect the Third Young Master’s right-hand man to be so domestic. My apologies.”

Ji Chi clenched his teeth and angrily went to prepare the food.

Qin Wan whispered, “Master, do you think he might poison the food?”

Jiang Junlin replied indifferently, “Why did you provoke him?”

“You’re a bit biased. It was clearly him who provoked me,” Qin Wan was annoyed. “Why do you scold me instead of him?”

Jiang Junlin rubbed his temples. “Tell me about the situation with the underground network.”

Qin Wan looked cautiously at Ji Chi, knowing that the matter at hand was important. She explained in detail everything that had happened in the underground network during this time. “Master, that’s why there’s no mention of Dr. North in Gu Ci’s suspicion list. But I suspect her. She was very eager to come to Paris to take charge, and her first action in Paris was a failure that almost got you killed. She also betrayed you a few years ago. Once unfaithful, always unfaithful. I suggest you add her to the suspicion list.”

Jiang Junlin’s mood was somewhat complicated. “Have you talked to Cici about this?”

“She is Gu Ci’s mentor, so it’s not appropriate for me to bring it up,” Qin Wan said. “Gu Ci trusts her a lot.”

“Don’t worry; I trust her.”

“Master, you’re truly magnanimous. You forgive those who have betrayed you, and you don’t kill those who imprison you. Are you keeping them around for a counterattack?” Qin Wan huffed, clearly displeased.

“Did Cici order you to kill Lu Zhiyuan?”

“Three times!” Qin Wan hesitated for a moment. “Master, don’t you think Gu Ci is a bit… unusual? I mean it in a literal sense, without any negative connotation. Her way of doing things is a bit unconventional.”

She was very much like the master, and her approach to the situation with Lu Zhiyuan was also very peculiar, something Qin Wan couldn’t quite understand..
