Chapter 351: He’ll Be Fine

Jiang Junlin acted like he didn’t care, and Gu Ziyu was surprised to see him eat so much during their first meeting. He finished almost all of the three dishes and a soup. It wasn’t because he thought the chef at the restaurant across the street was particularly skilled; it was clear he had been hungry for a long time.
Due to his connection with the Jiang family, Gu Ziyu didn’t stay in the interrogation room for long. After Jiang Junlin finished his meal, Chen Liangdong signaled for Chen Fei to remove Jiang Junlin’s handcuffs.
Chen Fei didn’t hesitate and unlocked his handcuffs. Jiang Junlin was quite surprised. Chen Liangdong said, “Mr. Jiang, you’ve had a tough ten years.”
Jiang Junlin chuckled, “In my position, it’s my duty.”
Chen Liangdong started the recording, “Then let’s begin.”
Gu Ci and Lu Zhiyuan’s planes landed one after the other. Although they boarded slowly, their flight was fast. As they passed through customs together, Qin Wan looked at Rong Li with a mischievous smile and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Rong Li was speechless.
Ji Chi asked, “How did you provoke her?”
“She killed Xiao Min!”
“Xiao Min was killed by her?” Ji Chi paused. “Wait, Xiao Min is dead?”
Rong Li sneered, “Are you telling me you haven’t recharged on Black Hawk’s intranet and have been disconnected for so long?”
Ji Chi didn’t deign to reply.
Could he really be blamed for this? Rong Li hadn’t mentioned it, but she was obviously aware of this major event.
Ji Chi turned to Nick and asked, “Why didn’t you mention this?”
“Master, you told me not to mention anything about Xiao Min,” Nick replied.
Ji Chi shifted the blame, “She’s dead, and something this big should have been mentioned.”
Nick said, “Master, 1 understand. 1 won’t do it again.”
Rong Li remained silent, and Ji Chi didn’t actually care about Xiao Min’s fate. He didn’t want to hear her news because she had betrayed Jiang Junlin. Now that she was under Rong Li’s command, she still had some use, so he preferred to turn a blind eye. Little did he know that Qin Wan had killed her. Ji Chi was somewhat surprised but not particularly concerned.
Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci went through customs together, and after exchanging a glance, Gu Ci nodded coldly and walked away without greeting Lu Zhiyuan. Ji Chi and Rong Li also exchanged glances.
Their breakup seemed quite similar.
News of Jiang Junlin being taken in for questioning had not leaked, and the stock price of Hualan Bank remained stable. He had been out of the public eye for two months, but Hualan Bank continued to operate smoothly. With Jiang Minghua in control of the situation, Gu Ci didn’t have to worry about the bank’s condition.
Upon returning to China, control was no longer in their hands, and all Gu Ci could do was wait.
Dr. North took Zhang Qiang to the Triad Division, while Gu Ci and Qin Wan returned to the Blue Fields Villa. During this time, Qin Wan served as Gu Ci’s bodyguard, providing 24-hour protection. After she put down her luggage, she brought the items Zhang Qiang had scanned at the airport to the Jiang family. The Jiang family had upgraded their security, with all their personnel coming from the Triad. Each member had four bodyguards, and no one dared to trouble them.
Gu Ci shared Jiang Junlin’s situation with Jiang Minghua and Grandpa Jiang. With no news of Jiang Junlin for so many days, Grandpa Jiang also realized something was amiss. He asked, “Is he safe?”
“He’s in good condition, and Ziyu is with the MSS. If anything happens, he will inform us,” Gu Ci reassured them. “Uncle, Grandpa, don’t worry. Although we’ve lost control, it doesn’t mean we have no options. My brother will definitely come home safely.”
“Junlin is really… confused!” Grandpa Jiang regretted. “He clearly rejected them back then, so why did he go to the Triad against our wishes? It’s a pitfail, once you go in, it’s hard to get out. Such confusion.”
Gu Ci looked at her tearful grandfather. Apart from comforting him, there was nothing else she could do. Fortunately, Grandpa Jiang understood that blame was useless at this point. He asked, “Cici, are you in the Triad’s dark web now?” “Yes, Grandpa.”
“Since there’s no way to break free, just go all the way. Whether it’s your brother or you, you both have responsibilities. The Jiang family won’t demand anything based on past merits. But if they think they can make Junlin disappear without a trace, that’s impossible. If you ever need me, be sure to tell me. I may be old, but 1 still have some influence.”
“Grandpa, I came to see you to ensure that you don’t act recklessly. If someone comes to you, don’t agree to anything immediately. Inform me first,” Gu Ci cautioned them preemptively, preventing them from making rash decisions.
Gu Ziyu had already sent her a video, which Gu Ci also showed to Jiang Minghua and Grandpa Jiang. It was a video of Jiang Junlin having a meal. “My brother is doing well in MSS, at least he’s safe.”
“He’s lost weight!” Grandpa Jiang wiped his tears. “Don’t worry, Cici. We understand the situation. Remember, you also need to stay safe. If they find out that you’re managing affairs behind the scenes, I’m afraid it could be detrimental to you.”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa!” Gu Ci’s gaze was clear and determined. “1 know what to do.”
Aunt and Grandma were not at home, so Gu Ci took Qin Wan and left. When they returned to the Blue Fields Villa, Gu Ziyu had already come back. As soon as he saw her, Gu Ziyu dashed towards her. “Mom, I’ve missed you so much!”
Gu Ci’s heart softened, and she hugged her precious son who had come running. “Mom missed you too!”
Gu Ziyu noticed that she had lost even more weight, and it concerned him, but he didn’t say anything. He twirled in front of Gu Ci and asked, “Mom, do you see any changes in me?”
“Have you gained weight?”
Gu Ziyu blinked. He had actually gained four pounds.
“Mom’s got sharp eyes, as always.”
Gu Ci laughed and brought Gu Ziyu inside. He also greeted Qin Wan, and there was a security team sent by Zhang Qiang outside the Blue Fields Villa. “I’ve been staying at Grandma’s during the New Year, but now that Mom’s back, I’ll come home.”
“Sure, just let Grandma know.”
“How’s big brother at the MSS?” Qin Wan perked up her ears. This was what she most wanted to hear.
Gu Ziyu replied, “As soon as he got off the plane, he went to the MSS and was locked on the top floor. Chen Fei leads a squad to protect him. He’s very safe. You can rest assured. The old man knows his limits, and no one can take him away from the MSS.”
Gu Ci breathed a sigh of relief. “Has big brother conveyed any messages?”
Gu Ziyu shook his head. MSS was full of surveillance, making it not easy to pass on messages. “Mom, don’t worry too much about this. Leave it to the old man. There’s very little you can do now. Don’t expose yourself. Just handle the Triad’s affairs in an orderly manner.”
“If he’s in any danger, let me know. I’ll do whatever it takes to save him,” Qin Wan said. “Even if it’s a dangerous situation, i’ll still go.”
Gu Ziyu fell silent for a moment. “My intuition tells me he won’t die. Rest assured..”
