Chapter 341: Godly

“Master, we can only take a chance. If we surrender without a fight and await our fate, your prospects after being brought back to the country will be grim,” Wan Changtian couldn’t help but try to persuade him to change his mind.

Jiang Junlin, with his eyes closed, whispered, “Back then, they sent people to ambush me midway, causing casualties and losses. 1 didn’t know who ordered the attack, but I had to retaliate for self-preservation. My sole aim was to eradicate the Dark Web of the Triad, and 1 delayed revealing myself. Now that I’ve been captured and brought back, the other side has nearly shown their hand. The escort team is comprised entirely of frontline combat personnel, all of them elite. If Cici goes ail out to rescue me, there will undoubtedly be casualties. The Dark Web of the Triad is a weapon of the state, and this weapon will never be turned against our own people.”

He would deal with the traitors of the Triad’s Dark Web, like Zhang Huan, Xiao Min, and others. They betrayed him and hunted him down, even if they were following orders. But they fell under the jurisdiction of the Triad, and he could eliminate them.

The escort team was different. They were specially dispatched elites, a whole squadron of fierce tigers. If there were casualties in a rescue attempt, there would be no turning back from this situation. In any case, that shot could not be fired!

He also wouldn’t allow frontline combat personnel to die in mutual slaughter.

Soldiers belonged on the battlefield!

Wan Changtian understood this principle. “But what will you do?”

“This is a deadlock. If 1 fire that shot, no matter how many merits I and the Triad have, we’ll be forever branded as villains. Either I permanently defect, or I die,” Jiang Junlin had long thought it through. “Cici not only cannot act, but she also has to stop Ji Chi. Otherwise, why did Lu Zhiyuan allow Pei Qiuying to come to Paris? Now that Cici is in charge of the Triad, if she issued this order, and the entire fierce tiger squadron dies, she won’t escape death. He won’t allow it.”

“But Third Master has allowed Miss Gu Ci to act and has even provided her with Black Hawk’s manpower.”

“He can’t stop Gu Ci. He can only let me do it,” Jiang Junlin asked, “Did the members of the fierce tiger squadron arrive tonight?”

“Yes!”

Jiang Junlin glanced at his watch. “Cici should have received the message by now.”

The message was conveyed to Gu Ci by Gu Ziyu.

“Mom, please, don’t act. Once you make a move, there’s no turning back,” Gu Ziyu was extremely anxious. “In an hour, the plane will land, and they are all frontline elites. They have been nurtured for years, and it has cost a tremendous amount of resources. They have illustrious military achievements, participating in numerous overseas counter-terrorism, anti-drug operations, and rescues. Every one of them is a hero.”

This was a very malicious move.

The other side had revealed their hand.

Gu Ci was shocked. “Why?”

“That’s the clever part. Their mission is to escort a very important prisoner. Uncle is their secondary mission. But once you make a move, you’ll definitely clash with them, and there will be heavy casualties,” Gu Ziyu couldn’t let Jiang Junlin and Gu Ci bear this blame. “Absolutely not!”

Gu Ziyu didn’t need to say much, and Gu Ci understood the gravity of the situation. Dr. North and the others were also astonished. They had originally speculated that it might be a group of overseas mercenaries coming to escort, but they didn’t expect such a team to be deployed.

This was a hot potato they couldn’t touch.

In almost an instant, Gu Ci understood that all their preparations had gone in vain. She would never pull the trigger against this squadron. She was radical, stubborn, and willing to sacrifice her own life to save Jiang Junlin.

But she wouldn’t point a gun at this unit.

So, what could they do?

Ji Chi’s face turned unbelievably dark upon learning this news.

Regardless of who was behind this, it was an incredibly clever move. It left Jiang Junlin with no choice but to return to the country. The information was tightly controlled; even Gu Ziyu only found out when their plane was about to land. Unless they rescued Jiang Junlin before the other party took over, there would be no hope. Once they took control, Jiang Junlin would have only one path.

It was a perfect, unassailable deadlock.

Unless Gu Ci was heartless and ruthless, devoid of conscience and moral boundaries, willing to sacrifice this squadron to save Jiang Junlin. The one who gave this order must be truly ruthless.

This squadron had no idea what they would be facing. They had carried out countless missions, gone abroad for secret assignments, and represented law and order, loyalty, and courage.

“In an hour, they’ll land. Two hours at customs, then to the prison, another three hours. Can we rescue the master within these three hours?” Qin Wan worriedly asked. This situation was too dire.

All the preparations had been made, only to be abandoned like this?

The main concern was that if they gave up, what would happen to the master?

Everyone was looking at Gu Ci.

Ji Chi firmly stated, “I don’t care what decision you make; I will definitely rescue him. In my eyes, no one is more important than him.”

“Are you out of your mind?” Dr. North exclaimed.

“Don’t worry; this won’t involve you. The Triad will stay out of it, no matter what happens. It has nothing to do with you,” Ji Chi’s gaze was stern.

He was willing to trade the entire world for Jiang Junlin.

Even if it meant sacrificing himself!

“Absolutely not!” Gu Ci said coldly. “Ji Chi, there’s no room for negotiation on this matter. Qin Wan, come with me.”

“Alright!”

After Gu Ci left, Ji Chi stared intently at the surveillance, then abruptly got up and went to Black Hawk. When he saw Lu Zhiyuan, he couldn’t help but ask, “Third Master, did you already know?”

“Know what?”

“It’s not mercenaries escorting them back to the country.”

“I found out just before they boarded the plane. I knew half a day earlier than you did,” Lu Zhiyuan said indifferently. “I put myself in their shoes. If I wanted the Dark Web of the Triad, what would I do? What would I do after Jiang Junlin was captured? I would definitely send an elite team to escort him back to the country. If the Dark Web of the Triad dared to touch this team, they would be doomed. I came to Paris to stop Gu Ci.”

He couldn’t let Gu Ci become a target!

“But why did you give me the authority of Black Hawk and allow me to help Gu Ci?”

“I haven’t allowed you to. 1 can’t stop Gu Ci; she would suspect that I’m unwilling to save Jiang Junlin, so she had to know this information herself, or Ziyu had to tell her. Ji Chi, now that you know the information, what do you want to do?” Lu Zhiyuan asked calmly.

“I…” Ji Chi clenched his teeth. He didn’t want to pull that trigger either, but what could they do for Jiang Junlin? “Is there really no other way?”

Lu Zhiyuan looked at him and whispered, “In this world, everything requires sacrifices.”

At the Wan Changtian’s house, Gu Ci and Qin Wan had been waiting for a while. His wife and daughter had gone out for the day and were not at home. One person had been following Wan Changtian all day, documenting his daily activities, accompanying him to work, and returning home with him. Before Wan Changtian returned home, Gu Ci and Qin Wan had already entered his house.

Wan Changtian wasn’t surprised at all. As expected, his master had a keen sense of foresight and knew that Gu Ci would come to see him.

“Miss Gu Ci Ci, since you’ve come, 1 won’t beat around the bush,” Wan Changtian placed a tracking device on the table. “The master has only one instruction: no rescue mission.”

Gu Ci had already guessed as much..
