Chapter 343: Brother Was Caught Because of You

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Qi is the only one in charge, with everyone else around Jiang Junlin, even his food needs to be inspected.

“Captain, this guy has so many issues? It’s tough to serve him.”

Li Mu said, “Even young masters are hard to serve, so bear with it, we’ll be done in a few days.”

“He’s just a prisoner, he must have done something wrong, or else he wouldn’t be locked up. Why should we be polite to him?”

“Then you talk back to him!”

“I dare not!” the man said softly, “He… his presence is quite intimidating.”

“Then just keep quiet!”

“Yes!”

Jiang Junlin was quite amused by this conversation, hearing it clearly.

He only hoped that Gu Ci could stop Ji Chi.

Ji Chi was indeed unwilling to give up. If Gu Ci gave up, he could understand. Gu Ziyu was still with the National Security, and no matter what, Gu Ci couldn’t do something like this. Besides, she was born and raised in City A, so she couldn’t do something like this.

Ji Chi was different; he had been abandoned since he was a child and had no sense of belonging to any place. He only wanted one person to be safe, and if he was stopped, everyone would be a stumbling block.

He knew he couldn’t snatch someone in the street, which would lead to a hail of bullets. So he was thinking, whether there was a way to switch things, to deceive and disguise, but he also knew the situation in the prison very well. It was basically impossible, except when Jiang Junlin was being escorted to the airport, there was almost no chance to act. Ji Chi was irritable and cunning.

Lu Zhiyuan asked, “If one day I’m arrested too, would you go to such lengths to save me?”

“Of course!” Ji Chi didn’t hesitate.

Lu Zhiyuan felt somewhat relieved in his heart, at least he hadn’t raised him in vain.

“Third Master, do you really have no way, or do you just not want to get involved in this matter?” Ji Chi couldn’t help but ask, “After meeting this time, I always feel that you have changed somewhat. You seem like a bystander, looking at us struggling in the midst of our emotions and desires. Whether it’s me or Gu Ci, it’s like actors on a stage, and you are the audience below the stage. You watch us perform, neither discouraging nor assisting, but staying out of it. This matter involves me and Gu Ci, can you really stay out of it?”

What has changed the attitude of the Third Master.

Whether it’s the Third Master or the Third Young Master, before the Spring Festival, they would definitely have different views on this matter. The Third Young Master wouldn’t care, and the Third Master would directly scold him for being crazy and wouldn’t condone him.

“I told you not to interfere with Jiang Junlin, did you hear me?” Lu Zhiyuan said calmly, “Since you’ve never listened, why should I say it again? Some things, when you hit a south wall, you’ll turn back.”

He used to think that in this world, with effort, there would always be results.

But after putting in the effort, he still lost.

He used to think that if he did no evil, did good, and was charitable, he would live a smooth life. However, he ended up in lifelong agony. Many things wouldn’t change their minds until they experienced them.

“Third Master, Miss Gu Ci is here!” Li Jiang came in to report, “She wants to see Ji Chi.”

Lu Zhiyuan wasn’t surprised at all. When Ji Chi came to the living room, Gu Ci was already seated, sipping tea. In fact, Ji Chi guessed why she came, and Gu Ci had canceled all her arrangements and even booked a flight back to her home country on the same day.

“Gu Ci, you don’t need to persuade me on this matter anymore,” Ji Chi, a determined man, said, “I can’t just watch him go down a path of no return.”

Gu Ci replied concisely, “Brother said that you must not try to rescue him. If you harm a soldier, he’ll be sentenced to death. If you obediently go along with it, he might survive, and your wishes will be fulfilled.”

“What did you say?” Ji Chi’s pupils contracted, and his veins instantly popped.

“You didn’t hear wrong,” Gu Ci spoke calmly, “Brother said he’s tired too. This time when he returns to our country, it might not be a dead end. He’ll try to find a way to survive. If he succeeds, he won’t have to worry about the dark web of the underworld anymore. Then, your wishes will surely be granted. But if you act recklessly and harm someone, he won’t forgive you.”

Ji Chi had never considered using violence to rescue him. He knew the stakes. If it were a group of mercenaries, he would definitely find a way to rescue him, and Gu Ci would assist. But if it was the Tiger Team, Ji Chi knew he couldn’t touch them.

It was a dilemma.

“I understand,” Ji Chi said hoarsely, “You can rest assured.”

“Ji Chi, my brother has been loyal all his life. If you love him and understand him, don’t let him bear an eternal infamy,” Gu Ci gave up her plan without hesitation upon hearing Gu Ziyu’s words.

Ji Chi understood, perhaps better than anyone.

“If one day, Third Master and he were in the same situation, would you still be so indifferent?” Ji Chi asked. He and Gu Ci had similar afflictions, had done similar things, and they were perhaps the people who understood each other the most in the world.

“1 would!” Gu Ci’s gaze softened. “Brother and he are equally important to me, but there are things that can be done and things that shouldn’t be done. As long as I haven’t lost my mind, I know I shouldn’t do it.”

Ji Chi sat quietly, and since Jiang Junlin’s incident, this was the first time he had been so quiet. “So, we can only leave him to fate?”

“No!” Gu Ci sipped her tea and said calmly, “We will find another way to strive for it. 1 just want my brother to stay alive, even if we lose the underworld, it doesn’t matter.”

“But if we lose the underworld, with all the secrets he knows, how long can he survive?” Ji Chi sighed. “In fact, there’s a very simple solution: you kill me, and he’ll be safe.”

Gu Ci’s heart skipped a beat. She sincerely admired her brother. He really understood Ji Chi very well. In the video call, he wanted Gu Ci to stop Ji Chi, not for Ji Chi to come and rescue him.

It was Ji Chi who was willing to do something foolish to save him.

“Ji Chi, do you know why your brother was arrested? Lu Zhiyuan didn’t tell you, and Rong Li didn’t tell you either, did they?” Gu Ci looked at him compassionately.

She hadn’t seen Ji Chi’s little dimples for a long time.

He hadn’t smiled in a long time.

In fact, she understood Ji Chi’s obsession. This kind of craziness, willing to exchange the whole world for one person, she was the person who could empathize with Ji Chi the most. That’s why her brother asked her to persuade Ji Chi.

“Rong Li said that Qin Wan brought me back.”

“Yes, on that day, your brother escaped but came back to find you. If he hadn’t come back, you would have died. They used your life to threaten your brother. If he didn’t go with them, you would have died, and a sniper had their sights on your head,” Gu Ci said gently. “He went with them willingly to save you. Do you think he didn’t know the risks? But he still chose to let you live, so you must stay alive.”

“Have you ever seen a movie where a couple of lovers agreed to take poison to commit suicide? The woman took the poison very decisively and died, but the man was rescued and didn’t dare to die. The woman had been a ghost for decades, always waiting for her lover, but she didn’t know that her lover had become a deserter. Together in life and death is just a story in books..”
