Chapter 337: Friends, Let’s Talk About Cooperation

“My mistake!” Lu Zhiyuan also admitted his judgment error, “I didn’t expect Jiang Junlin’s identity at this level.”
He thought Jiang Junlin was just the president of Hualan Bank, and he indulged Ji Chi’s wish. Who knew that indulgence turned into a disaster. Did Jiang Junlin, this old fox, anticipate this day long ago and thus set a trap?
“How did he think of breaking with Jiang Junlin completely? Did you tell him that Jiang Junlin’s assassination was his fault?” Lu Zhiyuan asked.
“Isn’t that the truth?” Rong Li spread his hands, “It’s better for him to recognize the truth sooner rather than later.”
Lu Zhiyuan pondered, feelings are always a confusing mess, hard for even a fair judge to resolve.
Rong Li asked, “What if he lets go completely and leaves the Black Hawk for the Dark Web?”
“Would the Dark Web want him?” Lu Zhiyuan said indifferently, “If Jiang Junlin had cultivated him from the beginning, things would have been different. But due to various mistakes, Ji Chi wouldn’t betray me. It would be awkward for him to go to the Dark Web. If something goes wrong there, they could easily suspect him.”
Rong Li frustratedly crushed a cigarette butt, “Brainwash him, make him forget Jiang Junlin.”
Lu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, “I think it’s feasible!”
Rong Li was speechless.
Third Master, I was joking, don’t take it seriously!
When Rong Li went to find Ji Chi, he was changing his bandages by himself. Rong Li frowned, “Where’s Nick?”
“I sent him on an errand.”
Rong Li came over, took his medicated cotton to help him apply medicine, and said coldly, “Go to a doctor for changing bandages. Don’t do it yourself clumsily and make your condition worse.”
Although his tone was harsh, he carefully applied the medicine and wrapped it with sterile gauze.
Ji Chi seemed a bit listless. Rong Li asked, “Have you really thought it through?”
“I have.” Ji Chi knew what he was asking, “Even if 1 leave the Black Hawk, I want him to live. Once a person is dead, everything is gone.”
“Idiot!” Rong Li no longer wanted to comment, thinking Ji Chi was obsessively foolish. “I’ve tested the waters with the Third Master. There’s still room for maneuver in this matter. It depends on how you handle it. If you really plan to cut ties, be decisive, show your stance, don’t linger on hopelessly. This matter is also absurd. The Third Master and Gu Ci are also entangled.”
But they can’t discuss the Third Master!
Ji Chi had already made up his mind, “Don’t worry, once he comes out, this matter will be settled.”
“Ji Chi, opportunities are fleeting. There are many young talents in the world, anyone is replaceable. It wasn’t easy for you to get to where you are today. Don’t be foolish, no one is worth gambling everything you have.”
Ji Chi lowered his gaze and remained silent. Rong Li patted his shoulder, about to leave the room, when Ji Chi said, “Rong Li, tell Xiao Min, I know she hired an assassin. If she doesn’t want to die, she’d better not act rashly. 1 know you’re keeping her for a reason, but if I decide to kill, I won’t spare anyone’s face.” “Got it!” Rong Li left the room. Ji Chi said nothing more. After a while, he dressed, and Nick arrived. Ji Chi said, “We’re going to the Dark Web.”
After Gu Ci got the prison blueprints, she compared them with those obtained by the Dark Web. The old prison blueprints, which could be found in libraries, clearly showed which channels were added and which pipes were blocked after construction. Gu Ci then brought in a structural engineer to assess the possibility of a switch strategy. However, considering the defense setup, the arrangement of firepower, and the special circumstances of Jiang Junlin’s imprisonment, such a strategy was deemed unfeasible.
They could only manipulate the escape routes. Xiao Min had already sent several assassins to scout the routes. Gu Ci prepared for both situations: keeping an eye on them while also having his own people scout the routes, ensuring every street was thoroughly understood.
The information room simulated the rescue route three times, all ending in failure. The challenges were the police deployment and finding a viable escape route. A large-scale operation would harm innocent civilians, which was absolutely unacceptable to save one person. Gu Ci and Qin Wan, along with the information room, were all working on finding a perfect escape route.
Dr. North asked, “What about the escape route for the assassins?”
Gu Ci shook her head, “They just kill and run, but we need to take our brother with us, which is different. We don’t even know his condition yet. Here, we would be delayed by ten minutes, and that’s just my estimate. Every extra second adds more danger.”
Actually, the best plan would be for Lu Zhiyuan to teleport and rescue, but that would be a supernatural event, causing a global sensation in the information age, which is very peculiar.
Lu Zhiyuan’s teleportation is also a secret, and since he hasn’t disclosed it, it’s not an option.
Rubbing her temples, Gu Ci said, “If I rob a bank and get caught, due to my special status, Ziyu might be able to arrange for me to be sent back to our country. Would I be in the same vehicle then?”
Dr. North shook her head, “Don’t think too much about it. This would be tried in Paris and could cause a serious international incident.”
“It was just a sudden idea,” said Gu Ci, looking at the simulated rescue plan. “If there’s someone inside to collaborate, it would make things easier.”
“Send Ji Chi in?” Qin Wan asked. “The chance to prove how much he loves his master has come.”
Gu Ci chuckled lightly, “How much do you hate him, really?”
“Hehe…” Qin Wan responded with a sly laugh.
Dr. North once again became suspicious, wondering if Little Cherry really liked Jiang Junlin.
Holding the prison’s inmate list, Gu Ci thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s proceed like this. Qin Wan, you go to the prison first and find an opportunity to place a tracker on our brother. This shouldn’t be difficult.” “Okay, 1’11 find someone to visit the prison,” Qin Wan replied, glancing at the list and choosing a person. “I’ll go tonight. It’s better to handle this matter sooner.”
Qin Wan selected a serial killer detained on the same floor as Jiang Junlin. European prisons have a peculiar rule: even death row inmates have human rights, including the right to conjugal visits. When a wife visits her husband, there’s a specific hour in a special room for conjugal visits. Qin Wan disguised herself as the wife of the serial killer for the prison visit.
This woman was deeply affectionate, visiting once a month, possibly a familiar face, so the body search wasn’t very thorough, and she even smiled meaningfully. The prison’s special room was small, with just one bed, and thoughtfully equipped with condoms. As it was meant for conjugal visits, there were no cameras in the room. Qin Wan arrived first and checked the room, confirming there were no cameras. The prisoner, 1.9 meters tali, covered in tattoos, with a fierce look in his eyes, had three lives on his conscience and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
As soon as he entered, he excitedly embraced Qin Wan, mistaking her for his wife. Qin Wan quickly twisted his wrist, pinning it against the wall and slamming it hard. The man cried out in pain and screamed. The guards outside shrugged their shoulders, used to such sights, thinking it was just a marital spat. Qin Wan lowered her voice, “Don’t move.”
The man, furious, exclaimed, “You’re not Ruth!”
Qin Wan, much shorter than him but not lacking in presence, gave a mischievous smile. “Of course, I’m not Ruth, my friend. Let’s talk about a partnership..”
