“What are you talking about?” Qin Wan frowned, averting her gaze.

“I’m a doctor, I grew up with Chen Geng since I was a child. I can easily tell the difference between self-inflicted wounds and those inflicted by others. Why did you kill Xiao Min and cut yourself?” Dr. North felt a mix of heartache and anger. Why would she be so careless with her own life?

“For the sake of survival!” Qin Wan replied calmly. “Trading an arm for a life, 1 think 1 made a good deal. Fortunately, I have a sense of proportion. This is just a superficial wound, so I’ve come out ahead.”

“You!” Dr. North’ face turned pale.

“What’s it to you how 1 got injured? It has nothing to do with you,” Qin Wan furrowed her brow. “I’m not Gu Ci, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Dr. North treated Gu Ci like her own daughter and had always been concerned about her well-being. According to Zhang Qiang, she had been staying up late with Gu Ci these past few days to ensure she could sleep well.

Both of them were medical students with endless topics to discuss, and their temperaments matched. Gu Ci had little blood relation, but unexpectedly found a motherly figure in Dr. North. Qin Wan saw this and was genuinely happy for Gu Ci.

Dr. North, who had been stabbed, silently walked away, leaving Qin Wan confused. What was going on?

The plane had been prepared in advance. Li Mu and the local police worked together, and they had a police escort all the way to the airport. Gu Ci had people accompanying her, fearing that Xiao Min might not give up and would send more assassins. Fortunately, the journey had been relatively calm. Once they were on the plane, they would be beyond their reach.

It all depended on Chen Liangdong now.

Gu Ci and Chen Liangdong had a long conversation the night before last and made a deal. She couldn’t interfere in Jiang Junlin’s affairs anymore, but Chen Liangdong could. The journey had been peaceful so far, thanks to Li Mu’s careful arrangements. Zhang Qiang and Ji Chi were providing covert protection. It had been a bit of a nail-biter, but Ji Chi spotted Jiang Junlin in the airport’s second-floor waiting area.

Jiang Junlin wore a fitted suit, handcuffed, and was being escorted onto the plane. This was a chartered flight by the Ministry of State Security, and aside from the two prisoners, there were only members of the Tiger Team on board.

“Brother…” Ji Chi tightly gripped the railing. He recognized Jiang Junlin’s figure even if he turned to ashes. Jiang Junlin appeared even thinner, and hadn’t Wang Changtian taken care of him?

Well, no one could take better care of him than Ji Chi himself, after all, Jiang Junlin was so picky about food and sleep.

He must not be eating well or sleeping well.

Jiang Junlin seemed to sense something and looked up toward the second-floor waiting area, but the view was too wide, and he didn’t spot Ji Chi. Li Mu approached, saying, “Mr. Jiang, it’s time to board the plane.”

Jiang Junlin nodded and calmly boarded the plane.

Inside the car on the tarmac, Gu Ci called Chen Liangdong, saying, “Brother has boarded the plane.”

“I’ve sent you all the contact information you need.”

“Thank you, Uncle Chen. The next twelve hours are in your hands.”

“Don’t worry!” Chen Liangdong hung up. Gu Ci glanced at the contact information Chen Liangdong had provided. All six of them were major players, people she usually only saw on television.

Gu Ci took a deep breath and sent all the information about the Dark Web to the top-level figures in her country.

She directly exposed the secrets of the Dark Web.

The fact that they had deployed a team led by Li Mu meant that their positions were very high. So she decided to expose everything directly, shining a light on all their actions. This way, their conspiracy would have nowhere to hide, and no matter what they did, they would have to be cautious about public opinion.

Half an hour later, the news of the Dark Web’s activities shook the top echelons of the country. Chen Liangdong was urgently summoned for a meeting.

Chen Liangdong, along with Gu Ziyu, rushed from one meeting to another, engaging in multiple negotiations and power struggles. Eight hours later, things finally settled down. The team that had originally been sent to retrieve Jiang Junlin was immediately withdrawn.

The case was handed over to the Ministry of State Security for investigation.

This was a method that Chen Liangdong had taught Gu Ci. As long as she had the courage to expose the Dark Web, he had a way to take the hot potato of Jiang Junlin off her hands. Gu Ci, on the plane, remembered Chen Liangdong’s words.

“You must trust me!”

Gu Ci could only go all-in. She didn’t know how things would turn out, but she had to make decisions based on her own judgment. This was the last piece of advice Jiang Junlin had left her with.

He was in custody, and information was restricted, so he relied on Gu Ci to make judgments based on the bigger picture. Whatever decision she made, he accepted it, whether it turned out to be bad or good. He had no regrets about his moves!

On the flight back to China, Lu Zhiyuan, Ji Chi, and Rong Li were also on board. Ji Chi seemed to have closed himself off, not uttering a word since boarding the plane. Their flight was two hours later than Jiang Junlin’s, and he couldn’t help but fear that he would hear news of Jiang Junlin’s death as soon as they landed.

Rong Li asked, “Third Master, what do you think Miss Gu Ci will do?”

“I don’t know.”

Gu Ci liked to take risks, and she especially enjoyed going all-in.

It was a personality trait of hers. She was a gambler who would bet everything on the table, no matter what the stakes.

“She has a similar style to yours,” Rong Li raised an eyebrow. “She’s only nineteen, and even if she’s smart, it’s a bit suspicious. It feels like Third Master has been guiding her behind the scenes during this time.”

“We’ve broken up!” Lu Zhiyuan said indifferently. “Can you be as quiet as he is?”

Rong Li glanced at Ji Chi and taunted, “I’m not emotionally attached. The next second, a lover might die, and there’s nothing to worry about.”

Ji Chi snorted.

Rong Li added, “1 misspoke. It’s not even a lover, after warming the bed for a few years, you couldn’t even establish the status of lovers.”

Ji Chi said, “Shut up!”

“Are you planning to have a fight with me on the plane?”

Lu Zhiyuan chuckled. “Don’t provoke him.”

“Ji Chi, don’t forget, as long as Jiang Junlin is alive, if you cut ties abruptly, as a man, you shouldn’t waver in your decisions.” Rong Li advised sternly. “If you keep lingering like this, I’ll chop you up.”

“You should go date someone else and stop staring at me all the time,” Ji Chi grumbled. “If you keep this up, I’ll suspect you have a secret crush on me.”

Lu Zhiyuan and Rong Li both turned to look at him simultaneously, their expressions quite subtle.

Rong Li mocked, “Damn, don’t disgust me. Do you think I’m a masochist? Secretly in love with you?”

“Then why are you always fixated on me?”

“I have a secret crush on Jiang Junlin, how about that!”

“You dare!” Ji Chi exclaimed.

Lu Zhiyuan was amused.

Rong Li looked at Ji Chi in disbelief, as if he had invaded his territory, like a ferocious beast, and said, “Have you gone senile? You believe this too?”

“Then why are you joking about it?”

“What kind of joke is that?”

If they weren’t on an airplane, Rong Li seriously wanted to fight Ji Chi. Ji Chi, looking at Lu Zhiyuan’s calm demeanor, grew bolder, “Third Master, my brother and 1 are like this. So, what about you and Gu Ci? Gu Ci is the current master of the Dark Web. If Jiang Junlin safely regains control of the Dark Web, where does that leave Gu Ci in the Dark Web? Have you completely separated from her too?”

Rong Li was speechless.

Impressive!

Lu Zhiyuan replied calmly, “Gu Ci and I separated a long time ago.”

“Completely cut ties?” Ji Chi sneered.. “I don’t believe it!”
