Chapter 353: I’m Kind, I Don’t Kill
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Junlin leaned back, looking at the camera, and smiled calmly, “The matter is resolved, so naturally, I’ll go back.”
“Brother, did they bully you?” Gu Ci looked at his thin face, which had really lost weight, as if he had been abused for months.
“Being held captive by Ji Chi for forty-seven days, then escaping, and then being locked up in prison… If you ask if it was comfortable, it definitely wasn’t, but if you ask if 1 was bullied, not really. They all served me well with good food and drink,” Jiang Junlin said. “My treatment in prison was quite good.”
Wei Yiming secretly thought that the treatment was exceptionally good, even having meals specified at restaurants with designated dishes.
“Take care of the family. You are the largest shareholder of Hualan Bank. If Hualan Bank faces any crisis and you clash with my father, don’t worry about him. You boldly do what you need to do; I believe in you!” Jiang Junlin hinted at something.
Gu Ci knew he wasn’t talking about Hualan Bank but rather the underworld dark web.
Even if there were recordings, no one could guess what he was saying.
“What if I can’t handle it, and Hualan goes bankrupt?”
Jiang Junlin thought for a moment and smiled gently, “Hualan Bank has a strong foundation. It can withstand your extravagance. If it really goes bankrupt, let it go with the wind. Money is just an external thing; someday, it will come back.”
Gu Ci understood, “Brother, don’t worry, 1 have a plan.”
Jiang Junlin looked at Gu Ci, who had also lost weight, with a hint of concern and said, “Eat well and sleep well. If Lu Zhiyuan bullies you, wait for me to come out, and I’ll help you get revenge.”
“…Okay!”
Wei Yiming listened throughout but didn’t hear any useful information; they were just chatting about family matters. Only Gu Ziyu knew that Granny Ma was allergic to cat fur, so having a cat at home was nonsense.
“Brother, 1’11 wait for you to come home.”
Jiang Junlin nodded, and Gu Ci left the surveillance room. Wei Yiming took a glance at the young woman in front of him, a medical student at A University, nineteen years old this year, and Jiang Junlin’s cousin. She had seen Jiang Junlin, so wouldn’t she want to know what had happened to him?
In fact, it wasn’t surprising that Wei Yiming was confused. Gu Ci had replaced Jiang Junlin to manage the underworld dark web, and only Chen Liangdong and Gu Ziyu knew about it. Wei Yiming couldn’t understand why Chen Liangdong had asked Gu Ci to see Jiang Junlin.
After Gu Ci came out, Chen Liangdong brought her to his office, and Gu Ziyu called Dr. North over. Morning Flight was monitoring outside. Chen Liangdong said, “Jiang Junlin is indeed a hot potato. He has been in the MSS for only one night, and three parties have called to request his release, all of higher rank than me. It’s very difficult for me to keep him at the MSS. Cici, do me a favor and don’t sever ties with the underworld dark web.”
“Uncle Chen, I’ve always respected you. You are just, righteous, and have been a mentor in Ziyu’s life. 1 love Ziyu like a son, so 1 hold great admiration for you. Normally, 1 would agree to whatever you ask, no matter how difficult it is. However, in this matter, 1 can only promise you that if my brother is safe, everything will remain as it is. Do you know? They sent the Tiger Team to guard my brother, and we’ve made many arrangements. If a conflict arises, there will be bloodshed. The agents trained by the underworld dark web are no less capable than the Tiger Team. But my brother said that the guns of the underworld dark web should never be aimed at our own people, so he ordered me to cancel the deployment.”
Gu Ci chuckled and said, “I was favored by my parents since 1 was young, and my personality is quite radical. I’m not a person of virtue and righteousness. My belief in patriotism and righteousness is weak. I’m neither from a military family nor have 1 been specially trained. I’m just an ordinary person among the masses. Matters of patriotism and righteousness are for heroes. I only seek the well-being of my loved ones. For that, I’m willing to do anything. My brother is the ideal leader in your eyes for the underworld dark web, not me.”
Chen Liangdong silently thought that Gu Ci was indeed a genius medical student from A University, clear-minded, and she played the emotional card first, then introspected, calmly telling him that it was difficult to comply with his request.
“You and Jiang Junlin talked about the stray cat and grandma’s story. 1 guess it was about you severing ties with the underworld dark web. Cici, doing this will cost many lives,” Chen Liangdong advised with a heavy tone.
“Isn’t this a moral dilemma?” Dr. North suddenly spoke. “Without the underworld dark web, are you blind to what’s happening? Can’t you operate overseas without it? If lives are lost, do you blame us for not providing assistance? The master of the underworld dark web is locked up here by you, barely able to move. Yet, you blame us for not offering assistance, which doesn’t make sense, does it? Cici took on the responsibility in a crisis and took over the underworld dark web. She hasn’t delayed a single thing, and she has cooperated with all necessary actions. We haven’t wronged anyone. If you truly acknowledge that we’re gone, are you blind? In that case, release our master.”
Chen Liangdong, well aware that he was in the wrong, had a different standpoint. “1 didn’t capture Jiang Junlin. 1 put in tremendous effort to bring him to National Security, and in these past few days, I’ve faced immense pressure to ensure his safety. 1 believe that for this, you should feel gratitude. Second, 1 am the Director of National Security. Every soldier on the frontlines of national security is a hero. I must do everything to ensure their safety. They fight on the frontline, shed blood, and make sacrifices. Because of them, you can comfortably be a doctor, Cici can be a student without worries, and Ziyu can have a carefree childhood. They shouldn’t be dragged into any disputes.” Dr. North frowned. Right and wrong were subjective, and everyone had their own perspective.
Gu Ci said, “Uncle Chen, regarding the announcement about cutting off ties with the underworld dark web in three days and ongoing missions, we will cooperate until the end.”
“Cici, you’re not familiar with the frontlines. Our soldiers entrust their lives to each other because of trust. If trust is lost, one wrong step could mean risking their lives. Once this announcement is made, trust will erode, and who would dare to trust the underworld dark web?” Chen Liangdong replied.
Gu Ziyu, standing in a neutral position, said, “Old man, sister, how about this? Since it’s set for three days from now, let’s remove the announcement and provide a reasonable explanation. Give us three days to handle our affairs. Three days from now, if Jiang Junlin can’t walk out of the MSS, we won’t interfere with whatever you do.”
“Alright, three days!” Gu Ci seemed to be waiting for Gu Ziyu to say this and then asked Chen Liangdong with a smile, “Uncle Chen, is what Ziyu says acceptable?”
Chen Liangdong glanced at Ziyu and thought, “This kid, three days is too short!”
But once Ziyu had spoken, Chen Liangdong had to agree, saying, “Alright, three days it is.”
“Okay, then I’ll also release an announcement. The underworld will say that the disconnection in three days is due to server maintenance and upgrade, causing a half-day network outage,” Gu Ci suggested.
Chen Liangdong and Gu Ziyu were left in shock by this unexpected move.
That was such a harsh move. Was Mom doing this on purpose?
Gu Ci asked, “Uncle Chen, can I know who it is? Who wants my brother’s power so badly that she’s willing to kill for it?”
Chen Liangdong chuckled, “Didn’t Jiang Junlin tell you already?”
“You can’t hide anything from Uncle Chen. I’ll just wait for good news then,” Gu Ci replied.
Chen Liangdong hinted, “Cici, remember to exercise restraint in your actions.” (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com
“Don’t worry, I have a kind heart. I can’t do things like killing and setting fires,” 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝙤𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝒄𝙤𝒎
