Chapter 319: Brother, Are You Silly?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Ci was alone in the room, and Gu Ziyu didn’t want to disturb her, but he didn’t want Gu Ci to be immersed in sadness. Today was New Year’s Eve, and although their father was harsh, he cared for their mother. What could he do to make his mother happier?
With a heavy heart, he left the Blue Fields Villa. It was New Year’s Eve night, and the security guards were on duty. While most people were having their meals, Li Jiang was guarding the place for twenty-four hours. He hadn’t even had the New Year’s Eve dinner and had to make do with a few packs of dry rations. When he saw Gu Ziyu coming out in a distraught state, Li Jiang hurriedly approached him. “Young Master, why are you out in this cold weather?”
“I want to set off fireworks!” Gu Ziyu had a sudden idea and pointed to the window on the second floor where Gu Ci was. “I want to set off fireworks for Mom.”
“Fireworks are prohibited in the city,” Li Jiang hesitated, even though the Blue Fields Villa had a spacious courtyard. “If you really want to do it… you’re just a minor, so at worst, you’ll get off with a warning. It’s not a big deal!”
Gu Ziyu’s eyes lit up, and Li Jiang scratched his head. He must be the kind of parent who indulged mischievous children. But what could he do? The Young Master was so cute; who could refuse him?
Li Jiang sent someone to buy fireworks, which was quite a challenge on New Year’s Eve. Gu Ziyu arranged the fireworks in a row.
“Then I’ll really light them.”
“Go ahead, this area should be safe,” Li Jiang thought to himself. After all, the Young Master was only seven years old, and children loved to play. Lighting a few fireworks wouldn’t hurt, even on New Year’s Eve. It was just a small fine. After Gu Ziyu ignited the fireworks, he ran to the window. “Mom, look at the fireworks…”
Gu Ci heard his voice and pulled back the curtain. Seven fireworks soared into the sky and burst open with various colors, like a prosperous era. Gu Ziyu held two sparklers and waved them, and in the midst of the fireworks, he snapped his fingers and struck a pose. Li Jiang played a piece of square dance music.
Gu Ziyu danced with the sparklers, performing a square dance for Gu Ci.
After they had dinner, they jogged around the Blue Fields Villa, and every time they passed the square, they saw the square dancers having a great time. Gu Ziyu had a good memory and was able to smoothly complete an entire square dance. He jumped, twisted his waist, and was cute and lively.
“Mom, I love you!” Gu Ziyu shouted loudly, and his young voice echoed throughout the courtyard. “I’m the man who loves you the most in the whole world!”
Li Jiang couldn’t help but laugh, “Young Master, you’re just a little boy!”
This scene was so much like a high school student confessing to a girl outside her dormitory building.
Third Master, you’ve raised a little love rival.
Gu Ci had never seen Gu Ziyu so cute and lively.
Cold-faced and emotionless, like a lifeless boy, he had undergone a transformation. Everyone was healing him, helping him regain the happiness and smile of his childhood.
As the fireworks bloomed, her son was full of cuteness. Gu Ci remembered what Lu Zhiyuan had said and asked herself.
For the sake of loving him, are you really willing to give up everything?
No!
Tears streamed down Gu Ci’s face as if a door had been pushed open by a beam of light.
She didn’t want to!
She wanted Gu Ziyu to be like this, happy and carefree, for the rest of his life. She wanted everyone to be healthy and live to a ripe old age. Gu Ci ran downstairs, pushed the door open, and hugged the dancing Gu Ziyu.
“Ziyu, Mom loves you!” Gu Ci hugged Gu Ziyu and looked up at the dazzling fireworks.
Lu Zhiyuan, you’ve won!
Paris.
After finishing her work, Qin Wan returned, her face not looking too good, and her arm was slightly scratched with bloodstains. Jiang Junlin got up to check her wound and saw that it was just a minor flesh wound. He let out a sigh of relief and frowned, “What happened?”
“I had a little accident, Master. Xiao Min has betrayed us, and she recognized me,” Qin Wan said, glancing at Ji Chi. She lowered her voice, “She has joined forces with Rong Li, I’m a hundred percent sure!”
“As expected!” Jiang Junlin furrowed his brow and had been thinking about it ever since his accident. He had wondered who had betrayed him on the Paris intelligence line.
On the night when Ji Chi took him to the hospital, Gu Ci knew that there weren’t too many people who knew about it. Dr. North had long sent someone to keep watch, and there would certainly be two deployments. Intercepting them on the way was the first choice, and the hospital was the second choice. She would concentrate her people on the way. Dr. North was cautious, and anyone who could intercept her on the way had to be familiar with the inner workings of the underworld network and be very familiar with the terrain. They had to assassinate him without a trace and then return to the team without a sound. It meant that there was a problem with the intelligence network in Paris.
There were six intelligence agents on this line in Paris, and he didn’t have time to investigate them one by one. He gave Gu Ci a list, but he was afraid of alarming the snake. It wasn’t until he heard from the old doctor at the clinic that the police had come to inquire that he narrowed it down to two people.
Qin Wan went out to confirm who had betrayed them.
“Master, let me kill him to prevent any future trouble.” Qin Wan had the least tolerance for traitors, no matter what hardships or reasons they had, it wasn’t an excuse for betrayal.
“Perhaps, in her eyes, it’s not betrayal,” Jiang Junlin said indifferently. “Someone wants to replace me, and if she succeeds, she’ll be the hero.”
“She has joined forces with Rong Li,” Qin Wan lowered her voice once again. “That is betrayal.”
“Don’t be quick to pass judgment.” Jiang Junlin asked, “Did you come back without anyone following you?”
Qin Wan nodded, “No one was following me. Why not kill her? Leaving her alive will only bring endless trouble. Who knows how many secrets she might have leaked? Does she know about this safe house?”
“I don’t know, but she’s used to my way of doing things.” Jiang Junlin said, “Ji Chi’s safe house has been exposed. We’re relocating, and it’s either Ji Chi’s safe house or mine. She almost found us.”
“If Ji Chi contacts Black Hawk, won’t we be exposed?”
“So, he hasn’t contacted anyone.”
“Oh…” Qin Wan said sourly, “You just trust him like that. Warning: Dark humor!”
Jiang Junlin didn’t know how to respond.
Ji Chi stood up in anger, “Don’t falsely accuse people. Since I went on the run with him, I’ve severed all contact with Black Hawk. Oh, you’re still planting chess pieces in Black Hawk. It’s hilarious. Brother, you’re really confused.”
Qin Wan put her hands on her hips, “Ji Chi, don’t be sarcastic. You’ve also planted chess pieces in the underworld, so it’s tit for tat. What’s the point of mocking each other?”
“I’m mocking you for choosing the wrong person. There are two places in Black Hawk where it’s most difficult to plant chess pieces. One is Third Master’s personal guard, and the other is by Rong Li’s side. Third Master’s personal guard was handpicked by Li Jiang, and no disguise can escape his eyes, unless you start brainwashing a child from the age of five or six, keep them in Black Hawk for more than a decade, and make them part of Third Master’s personal guard. Otherwise, it’s impossible to infiltrate Third Master’s personal guard. Rong Li is Third Master’s double, so his bodyguards are all fanatical loyalists. It’s even more impossible to infiltrate there. Rong Li has a hot temper, but he’s very sharp. If you tried to plant a spy next to him, he would probably have found out long ago and deceived you countless times. Friendly reminder, are you really sure she’s betrayed? Perhaps, this is just a play set up by Rong Li to make you misunderstand, killing your own people. He loves to watch people kill each other the most..”
