Chapter 314: Ji Chi, You Should Leave

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Qin Wan quickly rose to the top of Ji Chi’s enemies list in just one night!

Pei Qiuying had to step back.

“Oh, you’re awake,” Qin Wan swayed her waist as she walked over, her smile innocent but filled with malice in her eyes. “My master is suffering now, all because of you. If it weren’t for your madness locking him up for over a month, none of this would have happened.”

Ji Chi sneered, “Your internal power struggle has nothing to do with me. Ambition has long been brewing within your ranks, and an eruption was inevitable. The Dark Web’s leader’s autocracy is the root cause. Even if 1 hadn’t imprisoned him, you would have experienced an internal upheaval sooner or later.”

“Do we have to thank you for that?”

“Don’t mention it!” Ji Chi remained unfazed, mocking, “Tumor. Discover it early, pull it out early. Short pain is better than prolonged suffering, right, big brother?”

Jiang Junlin had been contemplating with closed eyes all along, and Qin Wan knew that Ji Chi’s words hit home. Those above wanted to control the Dark Web, but there was no suitable time.

Since its inception, the Dark Web had been under the Jiang family’s name!

It was an organization established by Jiang Junlin’s great-grandfather, and while its nature had changed, the Jiang family had left a safety net for their descendants. With ulterior motives, if this were a feudal era, they’d be nothing but private soldiers.

They only obeyed Jiang Junlin, and there had been infiltrations from within the Jiang family, causing divisions within the Dark Web. In addition to that, the knowledge passed down from great-grandfather to great-grandson had eroded loyalty, leading to discord that was almost inevitable.

Everyone was loyal to the nation and to the family. They weren’t necessarily villains, just differing perspectives and personal interests. What Jiang Junlin couldn’t understand was why the urgency? Why such mistrust?

After the minister’s death, he had indeed become the sole authority. However, they completed any tasks, no matter how dangerous, with utmost dedication, especially overseas special operations, which the Dark Web almost entirely covered.

He reported three times a year, without any errors. Why was there such a rush to replace him? Where did this deep-seated mistrust come from?

He had no intention of betrayal, and he could effectively oversee the Dark Web. Jiang Junlin simply couldn’t comprehend why this fierce battle was incited solely because of authority.

“Whether it’s division or power struggle, it’s our internal affair, none of your concern. You don’t need to make decisions for us. If a man dares to lock me up for over a month in the name of loving me, not only will 1 chase him to the ends of the earth, but I’ll also chop off his manhood and feed it to the dogs. Things that can’t be controlled, we don’t need them!” Qin Wan coldly snorted.

She firmly believed that Ji Chi must have been motivated by lust while he imprisoned Jiang Junlin.

A large pot of pressure descended, leaving Ji Chi with no room for defense. However, the matters between him and Jiang Junlin were not something he wanted to share with Qin Wan, not even a bit. It was their secret!

“Our affairs are none of your business,” Ji Chi retorted.

Qin Wan chuckled darkly, “If my master ever wants to kill you, I’ll make sure to shoot you down, so he won’t even have a chance to change his mind.”

Ji Chi remained composed, and Jiang Junlin had been tempted to kill Ji Chi when forced to witness that fabricated explosion. However, now Jiang Junlin should understand that it was all a staged explosion.

Would he still want to kill Ji Chi?

Qin Wan’s words hit Ji Chi right where it hurt, and his arm was throbbing in pain again. He chose to remain silent.

Tomorrow would be New Year’s Eve.

Ji Chi felt extremely frustrated. He had initially planned to spend New Year’s Eve with Jiang Junlin, especially since it was his first time celebrating the holiday. However, now he had the nuisance of Qin Wan to deal with. How could he make Qin Wan disappear?

Jiang Junlin hoped to resolve the matter in Europe as quickly as possible. Delaying it would only work against him. Once he dealt with the division within the Dark Web, he needed to return to China to handle the people behind it.

Currently, it was a race against time. Either you die, or I do. As long as Cici didn’t expose anything, everything would be under Jiang Junlin’s control.

“Little Cherry, could you do something for me?”

Qin Wan had left at four in the morning. As soon as she left, Ji Chi felt the air clear up, and his mood improved. “Big brother, is she going to keep following us?”

“Ji Chi, it’s time for you to leave,” Jiang Junlin said softly.

Ji Chi’s expression changed suddenly. He sat up abruptly and glared at Jiang Junlin angrily. “You toss me aside as soon as you have someone else by your side. Jiang Junlin, have you gotten used to beckoning me when you need me and pushing me away when you don’t? Am 1 just a dog by your side? I’m not even as good as a dog. Other people raise dogs for several years, and they still have feelings.”

Jiang Junlin had expected Ji Chi to be upset. “Ji Chi, the Dark Web is in turmoil and chaos. 1 don’t know who’s after my life, but they’re coming at me with full force. This has nothing to do with you, and you don’t need to get involved.” “I’m not leaving!” The more dangerous it got, the more Ji Chi wanted to stay by Jiang Junlin’s side, even if it meant taking a bullet for him. He couldn’t just leave Jiang Junlin in a perilous situation in Paris.

“Ji Chi, in what capacity are you staying by my side?” Jiang Junlin frowned, his tone displeased. “You are the successor groomed by Lu Zhiyuan, am 1 right?”

Ji Chi furrowed his brows and remained silent.

Jiang Junlin continued, “Rong Li is also a promising candidate, but he comes from the Dark Web, and the nine leaders of Black Hawk can’t all vote in favor of him. Rong Li and you complement each other, forming the next leadership team of Black Hawk. With you by my side, what image does that present?” “I’m Lu Zhiyuan’s designated successor. Can’t I protect you?”

“Ji Chi, if you continue to be entangled with me, you will lose the qualification to inherit Black Hawk. If I were just the President of Hualan Bank, and you and 1 had any kind of relationship, it wouldn’t affect the bigger picture. That’s why Lu Zhiyuan let you go. But now, our identities are known, and there’s nowhere to hide. He can’t let you off the hook.” Jiang Junlin furrowed his brows. “Are you willing?”

“I’m willing to give it up. I don’t care.”

Jiang Junlin looked at him calmly. “The nightmares of your youth keep haunting you, and you lack a sense of security. You want to hold onto everything tightly, so nothing slips through your fingers. You fight harder than Rong Li because he seeks revenge, while you seek power. You grew up on the streets with stray dogs, subjected to abuse and manipulation. You want to control your destiny and not be abandoned like a dog. Only by outdoing others can you accept that you won’t be abandoned. If you abandon others first, you won’t accept being abandoned. When I broke my promise back then, it was a second injury to you. Ji Chi, you’re carefully setting up your chips to stand in front of me. If I were just the President of Hualan Bank and the Vice President of Black Hawk in Asia, it would be enough. But now, I’m the Shadow Master of the Dark Web. Do you feel that you need to reach the pinnacle of Black Hawk to have the right to speak with me? Are you willing to give up? Are you willing to give up?”

“Don’t try to guess my thoughts!” Ji Chi was caught off guard, his face alternating between red and pale.

Jiang Junlin said, “Your thoughts about me are plainly written on your face. 1 don’t need to guess. Ji Chi, I’ve never had to make an effort to understand you because in front of me, you never hide your darkness and desires..”
