“She had a conversation with Jiang Minghua before leaving, and he was well aware of the situation. Recently, apart from Hualan Bank and home, he has been staying indoors as much as possible.

So, during the Spring Festival, the Jiang family closed their doors to visitors.

“Please be careful,” Gu Ziyu knew he couldn’t stop her, “1’11 be waiting for you at home.”

“Okay, Ziyu, Mom loves you!”

“I love you too, Mom!” Gu Ziyu was a little shy, he still wasn’t quite used to Gu Ci’s enthusiastic expression of motherly love, even though she would often tell him.

After Gu Ci hung up the phone, Gu Ziyu remembered that Lu Zhiyuan was still in the dark room. He found out when he went downstairs that Lu Zhiyuan had left, which surprised him. He called Chen Fei, “Come over.”

Chen Fei had just taken two days off and was called back.

After Lu Zhiyuan returned to the Global Center, he had just completed a medical examination, and the doctor advised him to rest and take care of his bones. Li Jiang arrived and said, “Third Master, Miss Gu Ci has gone to Paris and has already boarded the plane.”

Lu Zhiyuan’s expression darkened. Paris was a dangerous place with many hidden threats. If Jiang Junlin was exposed there, she would definitely become a target. She seemed to have a plan against him.

“Prepare the private jet; we’re going as well.”

“Yes!”

Li Jiang couldn’t help but think to himself, Third Master, what happened to not getting involved in the underworld affairs? This is the fastest you’ve ever gone back on your word!

In Paris, inside Black Hawk.

Ji Chi had not yet woken up, and Rong Li had taken him to the hospital to treat his injuries. Originally, they had been bystanders, but with Lu Zhiyuan’s orders, Black Hawk was now forced to get involved in the internal struggle within the underworld’s network.

Rong Li had a serious expression. In just two short hours, he had smoked a whole pack of cigarettes, and the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts. When Xiao Min came in, the room was filled with smoke. She opened the window to let in some fresh air and said, “Young Master Rong, I really don’t understand why Third Master would involve himself in the internal conflicts of the underworld. Jiang Junlin killed your father and caused your family to be destroyed. Now, he wants you to save him. This is unbelievable.”

Xiao Min had short hair and a slender waist, with a very distinctive figure. Her face was beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, and she had a sharp and neat demeanor.

Rong Li said coldly, “Third Master is not someone you can meddle with.”

“Rong, I’m just speaking up for you.”

“Not needed!” Rong Li gave her a sharp look, “Jiang Junlin was once your master too.”

Xiao Min’s face changed color, and she lowered her head nervously.

“Do what you need to do,” Rong Li said in a deep voice. “Utilize your familiarity with the underworld’s dark web to find Jiang Junlin’s location. If Third Master wants him alive, he must stay alive.”

“Yes!”

Xiao Min stood stiffly, and suddenly a cold glint passed by in the distance. Rong Li glanced at it and shouted in anger, “Get down!”

As he shouted, he kicked the table leg, sliding back along with the chair. The bullet almost passed right in front of his eyes, as if his face had been grazed by a burst of fire, and it went straight through the cabinet behind Xiao Min. She managed to lie down in time, avoiding the bullet.

“Damn it!” Qin Wan bolstered her gun quickly. Once a sniper’s first shot missed, they wouldn’t risk taking a second shot. It would be futile, and after a mission failure, they had to escape the scene immediately to protect themselves.

“You’re lucky!”

She carefully chose her position, narrowly avoiding becoming a target herself. One shot almost killed two people, but to her surprise, Rong Li remained alert. Qin Wan hopped onto her motorcycle, revving it up, and when she saw Rong Li and his team chasing her, she showed off her riding skills. She gestured with her fingers as if simulating firing a gun, even pretended to blow non-existent smoke.

The underlying message was clear: “Your life is in my hands sooner or later!” “Get rid of her!” Rong Li said in a deep voice.

Qin Wan whistled, and her motorcycle roared as she left them in the dust. Black Hawk team quickly got into their vehicles to pursue her. Qin Wan put on her earpiece, determined and confident, “I’ve failed the mission. I’ll lead them on a wild goose chase, no need to provide cover.”

“Qin Wan is as audacious as ever,” Zhang Qiang watched the whole thing from the monitor, admiring Qin Wan’s courage for daring to provoke Rong Li. “Nonsense!” Dr. North frowned, expressing her disapproval of Qin Wan’s style. “Mission failures are common, and there are many factors that can lead to failure. You need to discuss and wait for the next opportunity. Qin Wan’s behavior is too reckless.”

“Don’t worry, she’s experienced.”

Qin Wan led the Black Hawk team on a wild chase for a full two hours, disappearing without a trace. Rong Li couldn’t believe it. With Black Hawk’s surveillance network, how could someone escape their pursuit so easily?

“Don’t worry, if one assassination attempt fails, there will be another one!” Rong Li gritted his teeth. No one had ever mocked him like this in all these years, and he was determined to make her pay the price!

Xiao Min nervously asked, “Rong Li, could it be that they want to clean house and sent someone to kill me?”

The bullet was supposed to hit Rong Li, and that explanation held water. But Xiao Min suspected that it was meant for her because she was a traitor. Under Jiang Junlin’s rule, betrayal was not tolerated.

“If only you knew, why did you do it in the first place?” Rong Li showed no sympathy.

Being useful was one thing, but being a traitor was another.

Xiao Min paled and stammered, “Rong Li, you know, 1 did it for you.”

“Ridiculous. What does your betrayal of the boss have to do with me?” Rong Li furrowed his brow. “Did I instruct you to betray him? You’ve been lurking by my side for years, did 1 make you betray him?”

“I…I…”

“Get lost!” Rong Li’s temper flared, and he had no patience for a woman speaking hesitantly. He had already had an exasperating day. First, Ji Chi got into trouble, and now he had to lead a rescue mission for Jiang Junlin.

Both matters, no matter which one, had put him in a foul mood. And to top it off, he was the target of an assassination attempt, and the assassin openly taunted him. Black Hawk had failed to even catch a glimpse of her shadow!

The assassin wore a helmet and a tight-fitting suit, making it impossible to see their face.

“Jiang Junlin would be better off dead before I find him!”

This assassin wasn’t part of the underworld; they had even swallowed their gun!

Qin Wan had failed her mission, but she wasn’t in a hurry. Her only responsibility was to kill Xiao Min. This was just one task, and she wasn’t concerned about other matters. The first assassination attempt had failed, and there wouldn’t be a second one in the short term.

She went to a small team near Liu Bingwen’s house and lay in wait. As expected, they caught Liu Bingwen and brought him to a safehouse. However, Liu Bingwen remained stubborn and claimed he didn’t know Jiang Junlin’s whereabouts.

Zhang Qiang resorted to using torture, and Liu Bingwen was severely beaten, yet he still didn’t divulge any information. Inside the safehouse, Dr. North listened while Qin Wan sat in a chair, smoking a cigarette, her impatience evident.

“Zhang Qiang, I truly don’t know. Liuzi is in charge of this matter, and they wouldn’t leak information to us. Even if you killed me, 1 still wouldn’t know where the boss is being held,” Liu Bingwen said, his voice as weak as a thread. “Consider our past cooperation and give me a quick death.”

Zhang Qiang was filled with regret. He had executed missions together with Liu Bingwen and asked, “1 really don’t understand why you chose to betray the boss. Chen Biao betrayed him, and you followed suit.. What did he promise you? Why did you do this?”
