“I always knew, in your heart, I’m not as important as Pei Qiuying!” Gu Ci muttered to herself, “You saved her in times of danger, supported each other for so many years, even if it were raising a dog, you would develop feelings.” Lu Zhiyuan was speechless.
Gu Ci looked at him sadly, “Third Master, since you’re safe and sound, 1 won’t disturb your rest.”
She turned and left, and Lu Zhiyuan made no attempt to stop her.
Li Jiang stood at the door, listening at the corner of the wall, feeling anxious. When did Third Master develop such deep feelings for Pei Qiuying?
Pei Qiuying couldn’t compare to Miss Gu Ci even by a hair!
Third Master, you’re eloquent, so why don’t you explain yourself?
“Third Master, why aren’t you explaining?” Li Jiang asked.
“Explain what?” Lu Zhiyuan sat by the window, gazing at the night, his face dark and inscrutable.
Li Jiang said, “Third Master, don’t deceive yourself. During this time, whether it was the role of Third Young Master or genuine feelings, you know in your heart. You like Miss Gu Ci!”
“Li Jiang!” Lu Zhiyuan frowned. “You’ve crossed the line!”
“I’m just worried about Miss Gu Ci. She’s so brave, repeatedly exposing herself, revealing her true feelings, but you keep rejecting her.” Li Jiang said softly. “Third Master, don’t you… feel sorry for her?”
“What can I do about it?” Lu Zhiyuan asked coldly. “Do I have to compete with him for a woman?”
Li Jiang fell silent.
One during the day, the other at night, it shouldn’t have any impact!
Wait… or maybe it’s not entirely without consequences!
Perhaps Miss Gu Ci doesn’t mind, after all, in her eyes, it’s the same person.
Third Master and Third Young Master could never agree to share a woman. They might even end up killing each other. This trio’s love triangle is quite complicated; one of them must step aside!
Even if Third Master is infatuated, he can only restrain himself.
For a moment, Li Jiang didn’t know whom to pity.
“Wait a minute… Something happened at the Global Center, and the news was suppressed. How did Gu Ci know about it?” Lu Zhiyuan frowned. “It takes about half an hour to drive to the Global Center, which means she knew the news half an hour after the incident. But the news was completely sealed off here half an hour before the incident. Who did she hear it from?”
Li Jiang raised his hands and said, “1 didn’t say anything!”
This matter, even if someone from the Global Center sent a message, it would have been sealed off immediately, and it couldn’t have spread. So how did Miss Gu Ci know?
She seems to be quite well-informed!
“The young master seems to be quite well-informed. Did he tell Miss Gu Ci?”
Lu Zhiyuan furrowed his brows slightly.
After Gu Ci left the Global Center, there was no trace of acting in her behavior. Her eyes remained gloomy, and Third Master still claimed not to like her. Did she stubbornly play along all this time, pretending to have feelings and desires?
Well, it seems that she did!
“Tomorrow morning, Lu Zhiyuan will be going to the central hospital for a recheck, and we’ll take action on the way,” Gu Ci calmly assigned a task to Qin Wan. “Li Jiang is a very experienced security team leader. I’ll send you a route map in advance, go scout it out, and don’t let him catch you. Our people will help you safely escape.”
“Sure!” Qin Wan raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do you want to watch the show?”
She just gave orders to assassinate her own husband. Did she want to watch the show?
“Thanks for the invitation, 1 understand. There’s no need to watch the show; 1 have an exam tomorrow.”
Qin Wan was speechless.
When Gu Ci returned to the Blue Fields Villa, her son, Gu Ziyu, was already studying. Both mother and son had final exams the next day. Gu Ziyu heard the sound of a car and poked his head out from the second floor. “Mom, where did you go?”
“Your dad was targeted for assassination, so I went to see him.”
“Oh…” Gu Ziyu, who had sent someone to kill his father, nervously rubbed his nose. “Is he okay?”
“He’s perfectly fine!” Gu Ci chuckled and said, “Keep studying!”
“Alright!” Gu Ziyu closed the window and continued studying. He couldn’t help but wonder why his mother had acted unusually tonight. She must have been involved in the assassination tonight, along with Qin Wan. That shot by Pei Qiuying, it must have been her and Qin Wan’s doing.
Gu Ziyu was extremely worried. If there were any future actions, should he communicate with his mother in advance?
No, that would be against the rules and regulations!
It’s too complicated!
Gu Ziyu scratched his head. “Ah, the backgrounds of our family members are just too complicated.”
The next day, Gu Ci had her final exams. She took two subjects in the morning and was exceptionally focused. After finishing her exams, she turned on her phone and saw a message from Qin Wan. Lu Zhiyuan had postponed his recheck appointment to the afternoon and was leaving the Global Center at 1 p.m.
Gu Ci furrowed her brow. “He originally planned to leave around six o’clock when there were fewer people, making it easier for you to take action and escape. But now, with it postponed to one o’clock in the afternoon when it’s crowded, it’s not convenient. Let’s cancel the operation!”
“Don’t worry, 1 can handle it!” Qin Wan whistled. “Our master has been imprisoned for so long, and 1 couldn’t do anything. Let me vent some frustration for our master first!”
“This matter needs to be settled with Ji Chi!”
“Don’t worry, he won’t escape!” Qin Wan chuckled. “I’ll hang up and update you later.”
On the rooftop of the financial building, this was an excellent sniper spot. Standing at the very top, one could oversee everything. Even though Gu Ci had provided a route map, if Lu Zhiyuan changed the time, he would likely change the route as well.
From the Global Center to the central hospital, it wasn’t far. The location of this building was excellent, allowing her to see four roads. No matter which road Lu Zhiyuan took, she could guarantee the job would be done without a hitch!
However, there was one drawback. It was broad daylight, and it was a long-range shot, so she couldn’t use a silenced gun.
“Third Master, your wife wants to kill you, and no one can stop her!” Qin Wan, dressed smartly with a dagger tucked into her boot, was smoking a cigarette. She was looking at the surveillance cameras in the Global Center’s parking lot. As soon as they left the parking lot, Qin Wan spotted them.
She raised her hand and checked her watch, calculating when Lu Zhiyuan would arrive.
Qin Wan was a secret agent who had undergone training in South America during every summer and winter vacation. Jiang Junlin never treated her as a delicate flower. Her training methods were different from those of conventional agents; she received training while on missions. This approach ensured the safety of new recruits and increased their real-world experience. After Qin Wan turned seventeen, she could handle solo missions. Jiang Junlin entrusted her with almost all domestic assassination missions.
She had a one hundred percent success rate, which had never been broken!
Three security vehicles were now within Qin Wan’s sight. She put down her binoculars, adjusted her scope, and focused on the last security vehicle. She frowned but then changed her target. The surveillance footage from the Global Center was crystal clear, and Lu Zhiyuan was in the first security vehicle.
Gu Ci had specified not to kill, only to injure!
Qin Wan curled her lips. Jiang Junlin had become a prisoner and had yet to experience any torment. Lu Zhiyuan had to pay back a hundredfold. She aimed at the first security vehicle, calculated the distance, and, on the rooftop of the financial building, with the wind howling around her, Qin Wan’s gaze remained calm. She suddenly pulled the trigger, and the bullet pierced through the three hundred meters of empty space, striking the front of the car directly..
