Chapter 334:I Love Him Very Much

Lu Zhiyuan chuckled lightly, “Have you ever thought about one thing? You’re not willing to expose the power of the underworld, and this time, you’re fully involved in rescuing Black Hawk. Even Jiang Junlin won’t be able to clear his name.”

In the eyes of others, he and Black Hawk were like brothers.

Gu Ci replied casually, “This is something our underworld can handle; no need to worry.”

Li Jiang muttered, “Miss Gu Ci, how did you go from being a sweet little girl to a big demon?”

Lu Zhiyuan pondered, “What if I don’t agree?”

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense. Lu Zhiyuan sat there with a smile, his demeanor poised. Some people could sit quietly with a smile and still exude an aura of oppression.

Gu Ci’s gaze remained clear and unflinching as she responded, “Third Master, you’re full of lies, are you going to change your mind now?”

Lu Zhiyuan sipped his tea and said softly, “I promise to help you rescue Jiang Junlin, but I don’t have the power to bring back the dead. If he dies, it’s his fate.”

Although Qin Wan was irritable, she couldn’t easily argue with him. She had some apprehension towards Lu Zhiyuan.

Gu Ci lowered her gaze and glanced at his tea cup, “If my brother dies, the underworld’s dark web will be under my control. I’ll be the target, and that will also be my fate.”

Li Jiang and Qin Wan silently thought, “Wow, is this a threat?”

If my brother dies, 1 become the target, and life and death become my fate. If Lu Zhiyuan cares, he will definitely avoid this deadlock. If he doesn’t care, then it’s up to him, and Gu Ci won’t force him.

She appeared nonchalant, but the implications in her words were clearly a threat.

Lu Zhiyuan’s gaze grew colder as he stared at her intently. Gu Ci met his gaze fearlessly. For every inch of strength Lu Zhiyuan exerted, she matched it with equal strength. When Lu Zhiyuan recalled Gu Ci’s determination when she sought death in the past, he realized she was not a girl who bluffed.

If she wanted to end him, she really could.

If she wanted to keep him imprisoned, she really could.

If she decided not to have him, she really wouldn’t.

Qin Wan and Li Jiang both sensed Lu Zhiyuan’s growing anger. Qin Wan discreetly moved closer to Gu Ci.

Lu Zhiyuan sneered, “As you wish!”

He cared only about Gu Ci’s life. Whether Jiang Junlin lived or died, Lu Zhiyuan didn’t care. His presence in Paris was solely for the safety of Gu Ci.

Gu Ci’s determination to come to Paris was a way to keep him in check.

Lu Zhiyuan left without finishing his cup of hot tea. He understood Gu Ci’s plan very well. She had come to Paris with everything on the line and was determined to be on the front lines. As long as he cared about her life, he was Gu Ci’s biggest ace.

He cared only about Gu Ci’s safety. Whether Jiang Junlin lived or seemed to die, he didn’t care. Therefore, he wouldn’t allow Gu Ci to take risks unless he didn’t care about her life.

He couldn’t bring trouble to Gu Ci, so he kept his distance from Gu Ci and Ziyu. Thus, there was no way he would sit idly by if Gu Ci were in danger. It was a deadlock.

“Third Master, is Miss Gu Ci threatening you?” someone asked.

But Lu Zhiyuan didn’t answer, and Li Jiang could see it clearly!

Li Jiang felt very uneasy. During the period of captivity, something must have happened between Third Master and Miss Gu Ci. The current Third Master was different from the one before. The old Third Master was like a cold, emotionless machine that everyone feared and found intimidating. Everyone who came into contact with him knew that he lacked human emotions, and everything he did was highly rational.

Now, the current Third Master was more composed, easygoing, and relaxed. He could smile, and his gaze was gentle, but the sense of oppression was even stronger than before. If the old Third Master was like Third Young Master, he was also not quite like him.

He had the humor and exuberance of Third Young Master, but he seemed even more emotionally stable. Since leaving the Blue Fields Villa, Li Jiang hadn’t seen Lu Zhiyuan lose his temper once.

But everyone’s awe and fear of him were greater than before!

Even when he was easygoing and humorous, he still exuded an aura of bloodshed and chaos.

Just like now, Lu Zhiyuan appeared calm and without anger, but Li Jiang sensitively felt his displeasure and murderous intent.

Lu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, seeking inner peace. Jiang Junlin was indeed his nemesis, intentionally or unintentionally, Gu Ci had been dragged into this chaotic battle.

In the previous lifetime, after he married Gu Ci, he knew that his life was short. They would definitely be separated by life and death. It was either he died or Gu Ci died. He had too many things to arrange, and he couldn’t spare any attention for Black Hawk at the time.

Black Hawk was under Chen Rushi’s control at that time and later in the hands of the Brown family. They had always manipulated Lu Shijie and Gu Chuyun, but everything was within his control.

In his plan, he should be able to wait until Ziyu was born and keep going until Ziyu turned three years old before his death. That’s why he hadn’t been in a hurry, and Gu Ci had been well protected by his side.

He intentionally kept Gu Ci away from the crowd, living in seclusion, and ignoring worldly affairs. He was afraid that after his death, Gu Ci would be drawn into the internal struggles of Black Hawk. So, he prepared Gu Ci in advance, teaching her strategy, marksmanship, combat skills, and even financial management. Gu Ci was already intelligent, and she learned quickly. In Lu Zhiyuan’s plan, he aimed to make her capable of being a manager within Black Hawk within three years.

He also informed Ji Chi not to reveal his identity, so that Gu Ci wouldn’t be dragged into Black Hawk’s affairs. However, he didn’t anticipate that his own troubles would come so quickly, and he couldn’t even witness the birth of Ziyu.

The curses had come true, catching him off guard. Despite being a former priest, he couldn’t resist fate.

He never expected that the Gu Ci he had personally trained would now become the underworld’s master and his enemy. She used every skill she had learned against him.

Qin Wan wasn’t a very nosy person. Except for the matter of Jiang Junlin, she didn’t pry into others’ business. However, she couldn’t help but be curious about Gu Ci and Third Master because of their unique status. In her heart, she hoped that Gu Ci and Third Master wouldn’t have any entanglements.

Indeed, Third Master was outstanding. He was not only the owner of Black Hawk but also the world’s most prominent racecar driver, making him quite charming. However, no matter how charming a man was, he was still the owner’s enemy. How could she be in a relationship with the enemy?

But she had witnessed how Gu Ci and Third Master interacted. When Gu Ci looked at Third Master, her eyes were full of light. That one time when Third Master was playing basketball at school, she saw Gu Ci swearing sovereignty. At that moment, she thought the owner was so pitiful. How could her younger sister fall in love with the enemy? Moreover, there was a kind of obsessive feeling in her eyes, as if she would only marry him and no one else.

“Gu Ci, do you hate Third Master?” she asked.

Not loving anymore is akin to hating, isn’t it? So, she’s being distant in that sense?

At first, Gu Ci was surprised, but then she smiled and shook her head, gently stirring her hot tea. “1 love him very much.”

She didn’t hate Lu Zhiyuan at all.

“Then why are you so distant? 1 almost thought you two had become enemies after breaking up.”

Gu Ci touched the cup of hot tea beside her and smiled while shaking her head. “No matter what he says or does, I will love him throughout my life. But… he doesn’t love me anymore.”

Or perhaps it could be said that Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t love, but it wasn’t that he didn’t love her anymore.

These were different concepts..
