He had crimson eyes, his chest heaving violently as he continuously adjusted his breath. Then, he smiled slowly, “Ji Chi, you’d better pray that you can hold me captive for a lifetime.”

“As you wish!” Ji Chi whispered in his ear, her voice gentle. “Anything is possible!”

He seemed to be relishing in Jiang Junlin’s anger. This man had been deceiving him all along. His words were false, his emotions were false, but once the facade was torn apart, at least everything became real.

He was no longer an icy robot, no longer the calm and composed Jiang Junlin.

He too felt anger; he too experienced pain!

Ji Chi was hurting, and yet he was exhilarated. It was both painful and enjoyable. To kill a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of his own, he didn’t know how to deal with Jiang Junlin anymore. Love was hopeless, so let it be a battle!

Mutual torment, why not?

Nick watched Ji Chi, exhausted, as he emerged. Unable to restrain himself, he said, “Master, the explosion was in an empty house. It didn’t really kill Mr. Jiang’s people. Why do you need to torment him like this?”

“Do you think I’m going crazy too?”

“I dare not say so,” Nick said softly. “I’ve watched you and Mr. Jiang entangled in a love-hate relationship for so many years. Mr. Jiang is stubborn. The more you torment him, the less likely he is to yield to your wishes.”

Ji Chi fell to the side. This was a remote villa on the mountaintop, truly a place of many secrets. Ji Chi stared at the fire in the fireplace, her eyes slightly red. “Stubborn… am I not submissive enough?”

Wasn’t he humble enough?

Nick wanted to say more, but Ji Chi snapped, “Get out!”

“Yes!” Nick didn’t dare to utter another word and left. Ji Chi opened the bottle of brandy on the table and downed three times the usual amount in one go. He wasn’t immune to alcohol. With three shots of brandy, his face turned red, and his eyes were tinged with the flush of alcohol.

Drowning one’s sorrows in alcohol was a behavior he despised the most. Ji Chi still coldly watched as a drunkard stumbled into the river. He had no pity for those who got into trouble due to drinking.

A person’s mode of survival determined their behavior. When faced with unpleasant situations, getting drunk and causing trouble or getting into accidents while drunk was inherently irresponsible and the behavior of the weak.

But in the end, he had become the kind of person he despised the most.

Outside the window, Nick watched anxiously. Master, you’ve lost too much blood. You shouldn’t be drinking.

Locked in a dark room, Jiang Junlin was no better off than Ji Chi. The image of the explosion kept replaying in his mind, and he was helpless. Ji Chi’s desire to lock him up couldn’t be stopped. In every residence, there was a dark room.

The other day, he deliberately provoked him again with the ring. Ji Chi had finally brought the ring out of the dark room. Jiang Junlin didn’t expect him to discover the secret so quickly.

This tracking device was newly developed domestically. It was a bit of a coincidence that it was developed domestically; although it was domestically developed, there were still some technical collaborations, so it was completed in Paris. Along with the ring, he received the tracking device. The device was incredibly thin and small, making it unsuitable to be placed anywhere. Jiang Junlin’s most commonly used accessories were watches and tie pins.

Tie pins had to be chosen according to the occasion and couldn’t be worn every day, leaving only the watch. However, putting it in the watch was too conspicuous, and if anything happened, the watch would be discarded first. After much thought, he could only hide it in the ring. It was the perfect size, and he could remove the gemstone, hide the tracking device, and then reattach it.

There were hardly any tracking devices on the market that could fit into such a small ring without arousing suspicion. Jiang Junlin didn’t expect Ji Chi to be so sensitive and notice the traces of it.

The design of the ring was compromised and couldn’t be restored.

After all these years of knowing and battling each other, he and Ji Chi were like kindred spirits!

The one who knows you best is not your bedmate but your enemy!

But he was both a bedmate and an enemy. They knew each other too well. After Jiang Junlin’s anger subsided, he had to stay calm. It had been a month and a half already, and he had to regain his freedom within three months.

Cici… was no match for Lu Zhiyuan!

The dark web of the underworld should never fall into his hands. This was a national mission and a family responsibility!

Jiang Junlin tested the hardness of the handcuffs, glanced at the surveillance camera above him, his gaze slightly cold.

When Gu Ci received a call from Dr. North, she was very surprised. “No one?”

“Empty house, the master should have been moved to a dark room just now,” Dr. North said. “There are ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the refrigerator; it must be them!”

Gu Ci understood. “Within a five-kilometer radius, conduct a thorough search.

I refuse to believe we won’t find anything!”

“Could it provoke Ji Chi?” Dr. North worried. “I’m afraid we might anger him and endanger the master’s life.”

“You just said the surveillance in the dark room was on?”

“Yes.”

“Since the surveillance is on, Ji Chi can see your actions clearly. If he wanted to kill you, he would have already done it. So why hasn’t he?”

Dr. North said, “That’s also something I’m puzzled about. After confirming that the place was empty, I quickly brought people out to prevent any incidents.” “Fear of being caught in the trap!” Gu Ci said. “Send people for a thorough search, the bigger the operation, the better.”

“Why?”

Gu Ci sneered. “Ji Chi left in a hurry, so he can’t have gone far. He must be nearby. If we conduct a large-scale search, he will be forced to move.”

As long as he moves, his brother will have a chance!

With 24-hour surveillance and being shackled, no matter how capable you are, you can’t escape. Ji Chi must be made to move with Jiang Junlin; he can’t be left in one place forever!

“I understand!”

At the Global Center, Lu Zhiyuan knew all about Ji Chi’s actions. “You need to move to a farther place. It’s only been less than half an hour since you left. They’ll come looking for you as soon as you leave.”

“Understood!”

After Lu Zhiyuan and Ji Chi finished their phone conference, Li Jiang said, “Third Master, Pei Qiuying’s plane has landed. She wants to see you!”

“Arrange it!”

“Yes!”

Lu Zhiyuan looked at the night sky with a cold and deep gaze. Pei Qiuying actually dared to come to see him on her own initiative; her courage was commendable. Lu Zhiyuan had Li Jiang fetch a wheelchair, but Li Jiang couldn’t understand. Why would the Third Master want to meet Pei Qiuying in a wheelchair?

He had long since regained his mobility!

Although he didn’t understand, he quickly prepared it.

City A was Lu Zhiyuan’s territory, so naturally, he had the final say. He used his severe injuries as an excuse and arranged to meet at the racetrack in the Global Center. Pei Qiuying’s heart sank when she heard this; her bodyguards said, “Master, the racetrack is suitable for snipers to lay an ambush. If he wants your life, you won’t be able to escape. It might be better to meet in a crowded place in the city!”

“If the Third Master wanted my life, he wouldn’t go to such trouble!” Pei Qiuying said calmly. “Let’s go!”

“Yes!”

In the dark web, a pawn within the Global Center quickly transmitted the information to Gu Ci. Gu Ci sneered, and Qin Wan asked, “What’s going on?” “What’s your accuracy with a long-range rifle?”

“Within 500 meters, every shot hits the mark!”

“Let’s go!” Gu Ci mischievously blinked.. “I’ll take you to play sniper!”
