Chapter 225: Are You Third Young Master or Third Master?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Zhiyuan was extremely indifferent. Ji Chi pushed him to Chen Rushi’s presence. Lu Zhiyuan looked down at Chen Rush! and said, “Have you forgotten? I am insane, a complete lunatic.”
A wave of fear surged from the bottom of Chen Rushi’s heart. He regretted his carelessness and his blind trust in Pei Qiuying’s words. He believed that Lu Zhiyuan, even if he could open the box and know the password, was not like Third Master. He wouldn’t have Third Master’s decisiveness and ruthlessness. As long as he seized power before Third Master woke up, it would be too late for Third Master to do anything in the evening.
But the person in front of him, with no trace of youthfulness, was a person with blood on his hands, a powerful figure in a high position. He was Third Master, not Third Young Master. Regardless of the dual personality, whether it was true or false, the person in front of him was definitely not the race car driver Lu Zhiyuan!
Rong Li sneered and said, “It’s better for everyone to make money harmoniously. What’s the fun in power struggles, Mr. Chen? If you don’t treat your leg, it will be truly useless.”
Ji Chi’s attack on his knee was ruthless, and it hurt like a dagger piercing his bones. It was really painful, but Chen Rushi couldn’t swallow this humiliation. But when you’re under someone else’s roof, you really have to bow your head.
As long as the mountains are preserved, firewood will not be scarce. People die like a lamp going out, and if he dies, there will be no chance to make a comeback.
“Third Master, I was wrong!” Chen Rushi endured the intense pain. “Please forgive me!”
Lu Zhiyuan ignored him, looked at Bronn and the others one by one, and said, “In the world of the Black Hawk, power is held by the capable. Whoever wants it, let them come and take it. Let me make it clear, life and death are predestined, and wealth and rank are in the hands of fate. If you can survive, you can take my place!”
Bronn and Bruce and the others were pounding in their hearts. Lu Zhiyuan clearly sat in a wheelchair with a sickly appearance, but they felt like a knife was hanging over their necks.
This time, when Chen Rushi dared to challenge him as he had said, they had underestimated Third Master.
Pei Qiuying said that Third Master’s dual personality was very special, one person for half the time. Third Master only appeared at night, while during the day, he was a pampered and unrestrained star race car driver.
But the person in front of them had no resemblance to a star race car driver; he was clearly the king of hell!
Bruce and Bronn exchanged glances. Such a ruthless and unscrupulous person with no weaknesses was difficult for them to control, much less than Chen Rushi.
The phone rang suddenly, and Li Jiang saw the caller and answered it with a jump in his heart. “What? Alright, I understand.”
“Third Master, Miss Gu Ci… has been kidnapped!”
Lu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze ice-cold. “Chen Rushi, you are truly audacious!”
It was a perfect plan. He had brought people to pressure Lu Zhiyuan in the hospital and made preparations to kidnap Gu Ci to blackmail Lu Zhiyuan.
Chen Rushi was sweating coldly. “Third Master, Miss Gu Ci saved my life. 1 won’t repay kindness with enmity. Don’t blame me for what Pei Qiuying did.” “Take him away!” Lu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.
“Yes!” Li Jiang hurriedly took Chen Rushi away and handed him over to his guards. Inside the hospital room, the atmosphere was tense. Bronn raised an eyebrow and asked, “Who is Gu Ci?”
Lu Zhiyuan looked over, and Bronn put on a pleasing smile. “She’s Third Master’s beloved. I’m in Paris, my territory. I’ll find her for you, guaranteed.” “No need to trouble yourself,” Lu Zhiyuan said indifferently. “You still chose Chen Rushi?”
Bronn replied, “Third Master, you must be joking. We’ve always chosen you. Mr. Chen and 1 are not on the same side.”
“Third Master, I also choose you. It’s a misunderstanding,” Bruce quickly changed his stance. “Once you’ve recovered, we’ll host a grand banquet for you.”
“Do you have any other business?”
Bruce smiled, “Third Master, you focus on your recovery. We’ll take our leave.”
The group filed out, leaving only Rong Li and Ji Chi.
Li Jiang, puzzled, asked, “Why did they change their stance so quickly? Bruce and Bronn seemed like they wanted to choose Chen Rushi.”
Ji Chi and Rong Li exchanged a glance, and Ji Chi said, “Third Master, I’ll go find Miss Gu Ci.”
“No need!” Lu Zhiyuan, clutching his chest, said softly, “She’s fine.”
Li Jiang was baffled. The person who was supposed to be protecting Gu Ci had just reported that she had been kidnapped.
Lu Zhiyuan continued, “Rong Li, have someone keep an eye on Bruce and Bronn. After today’s incident, Chen Rushi will eventually break ties with us. He and Pei Qiuying will join forces and try to divide Bruce and Bronn. Don’t let the three of them unite.”
“Understood!” Rong Li nodded. “Is Ji Chi returning to the Asian Division? After today’s incident, his situation there will be more difficult.”
Ji Chi said, “Don’t worry, I can handle it.”
“Alright, I’ll go then!” Rong Li checked his phone. “Bronn has arranged a dinner meeting.”
“Go ahead!”
Rong Li left in a hurry, then turned back and asked, “Third Master… on this clear and sunny day, I just want to ask one thing. Are you Third Master or Third Young Master?”
Lu Zhiyuan looked at him coldly. “What do you think?”
Rong Li understood. This was Third Master.
“Well, that’s great news!” He waved his hand and said, “I’m off!”
Ji Chi had long suspected that Lu Zhiyuan was Third Master but hadn’t revealed it. Rong Li could differentiate between Third Master and Third Young Master, but Ji Chi had never made that distinction; to him, it was still Lu Zhiyuan.
Li Jiang was sweating but didn’t dare to ask a question. If he’s Third Master, what about Third Young Master? If he’s Third Master, does that mean Third Young Master is no more? Li Jiang felt strangely sad at the thought and couldn’t help but think of Gu Ci.
In front of Miss Gu Ci, Third Master had always acted as Third Young Master.
Damn, he actually ate a few grapes fed by Miss Gu Ci, even hugged and kissed her willingly. What a sacrifice!
Playing the role so convincingly, he hadn’t even realized the distinction between day and night. Li Jiang’s heart raced. Could it be that Third Master, unable to endure the repeated threats to his life, had finally taken control of the body?
“Li Jiang, keep your mouth shut.”
“Understood!”
In the heart of Paris, Gu Ci had indeed been abducted. She was taken by two bodyguards in plain sight, pushed into a van, and four masked strong men kidnapped her right on the street.
The bodyguards immediately reported to Li Jiang.
However, when they pursued for two blocks, they found the van overturned. The four men were sprawled on the ground, and Gu Ci stood there, her expression cold. There was only a bit of blood on her coat.
She had escaped and defeated all four men.
“Let’s go!” Gu Ci said. The food she had bought for Lu Zhiyuan was scattered on the ground, and couldn’t be consumed anymore. She needed to buy a new one. “What about them?” the bodyguards asked, looking at the men on the ground. “The police will handle it!”
The two of them followed Gu Ci as she walked away. As she left, the men who had been knocked down on the ground slowly got up, and boarded a car like they’d been trained to do that all their lives..
