Chapter 303: The Little Wolf Appears to Be Miserable
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Chi broke out in a cold sweat, and Jiang Junlin looked at him indifferently. When Ji Chi saw his arm rewrapped, he suspected that Jiang Junlin had cut off his hand if it weren’t for the sensation.
“Brother, dicine!”
Jiang Junlin raised his legs lazily, adopting a casual posture. “Endure it!”
He knew Ji Chi had been awakened by the pain. Given the diocre skills of that doctor, there had to be sothing fishy if Ji Chi didn’t feel pain. His flesh and blood had been cut away, leaving Ji Chi to cry out in frustration, “Brother, it really hurts, please give a painkiller!”
“I don’t have any!” He didn’t bring back any painkillers on purpose. “I brought you to see a doctor. I didn’t let them amputate your hand. I’ve done my part. Do you expect to wait on you hand and foot?”
Ji Chi had no choice but to endure. The pain was bearable, but with painkillers available, why suffer needlessly? Ji Chi, though in pain, felt better ntally. “Brother, did you take to see a doctor?”
“You’re thinking too much. I did it myself!”
Ji Chi was a bit surprised. “Can you handle this kind of wound?”
He didn’t believe it!
Jiang Junlin couldn’t be bothered to talk to him. Both of them were recuperating, and they couldn’t leave. During Ji Chi’s coma, he had been on high alert and had no intention of talking to Ji Chi!
Ji Chi struggled to sit up, poured a cup of hot water, and asked Jiang Junlin softly, “Brother, do you want so water? Shall I serve you tea and pour water for you?”
When it ca to acting cute in front of Jiang Junlin, Ji Chi was truly unmatched.
It ca naturally, with no pretense!
“Don’t bother!” Jiang Junlin frowned coldly. “Don’t annoy either. Once we’re out of this door, we’ll go our separate ways.”
“Impossible!” Ji Chi quickly refuted.
“Whether you believe it or not, 1 can dislocate your arm right now.”
“Even if you kill , I’d say the sa!”
The idea of going their separate ways after leaving the safe house didn’t exist in his dictionary!
There was internet access in the safe house, but they were afraid of being traced, so they used the equipnt already in the safe house and didn’t contact the outside world. This was especially true for Jiang Junlin.
Ji Chi looked at him pitifully. “Brother, does your injury hurt?”
Jiang Junlin ignored him completely, treating everything he said as if it were background noise. But Ji Chi was undaunted. He couldn’t sleep due to the pain, so he moved closer to Jiang Junlin. He spotted so anti-inflammatory drugs and various antibiotics nearby, and he knew they were from the doctor Jiang Junlin had taken him to see. This made him even happier.
His brother might be tough on the outside, but he had a soft heart.
Ji Chi said a few more words, but Jiang Junlin didn’t respond. Ji Chi had a mont of insight. “On the way here, why did you call Gu Ci? Is Gu Ci the current head of the underworld? Black Hawk is our Third Master. Did you calculate that Third Master would have a change of heart?”
“This is an internal matter of our underworld. It has nothing to do with you!”
“Brother, you’re really cunning. After your accident, the head of the underworld beca Gu Ci, and Black Hawk is our Third Master. Did you accurately predict that Third Master would have a change of heart?”
Jiang Junlin frowned and squinted his eyes. “Ji Chi, do you see as soone who would even use my own sister for my own gain?”
Ji Chi, realizing he had touched a sensitive nerve, let his smile fade a bit.
“Isn’t that the case?” Ji Chi replied. “Otherwise, why would you keep locked up? Gu Ci’s knowledge of the underworld’s inner network must have been planned by you in advance. Let guess when… maybe that New Year’s night when Gu Ci ca to see you. After Third Master’s accident, you learned his identity, so you left a backup plan. If sothing happened to you, Gu Ci would take over, and Third Master would surely go easy on her. The dark web of the underworld would still stand strong. Isn’t that your master plan?”
Jiang Junlin chuckled lightly. “I did leave a backup plan. But if you hadn’t acted recklessly, none of this would have happened. She wouldn’t have beco the underworld’s head. Whether Black Hawk is really under the control of Lu Zhiyuan or not, I would have entrusted the aftermath to Gu Ci. I only trust her, understand?”
This had nothing to do with the Master of Black Hawk.
It was simply because he believed Gu Ci could handle the underworld’s dark web. If sothing happened to him, at least one person would hold the fort until the country found a perfect replacent, preventing it from falling into chaos.
But in the eyes of others, he must be the kind of person who would use even his own sister for his own gain, with no moral boundaries.
It didn’t matter to him; he didn’t mind the judgnt of others.
Ji Chi felt like he had been bitten by a snake. Did Jiang Junlin only trust Gu Ci in this world? In his heart, the only person he could trust was Gu Ci. Ji Chi wanted to laugh but couldn’t.
Jiang Junlin knew what Ji Chi was thinking, but he didn’t intend to indulge him.
Ji Chi sat there sullenly, and Jiang Junlin thought that maybe he was planning another confinent, but there would be no next ti. Jiang Junlin couldn’t be imprisoned by Ji Chi again.
Once bitten, twice shy!
Between them, an invisible crack had appeared.
Even in a crisis, he would subconsciously protect Ji Chi’s safety, and even in their escape, Ji Chi would be willing to take a bullet for him, but there was no going back.
“Brother, if you had taken away back then, would I be the person you trust the most now?” Ji Chi propped up his chin, playfully asking, “Would you have nurtured with the sa dedication as you did with Pei Qiuying? Would I replace Gu Ci and beco the person you trust the most?”
Jiang Junlin was montarily surprised and said softly, “We can’t change the past. Forget about it.”
“You say it so lightly!” Ji Chi lifted his shirt to reveal a scar on his lower back, one that looked like it had been burned, with uneven and abrupt marks on his slender waist. “After we reunited, you saw this scar on my back, but you never asked why. Why didn’t you ask?”
Jiang Junlin kept a cold face and remained silent.
“Say sothing!” Ji Chi growled.
“That’s your privacy, and I didn’t want to know,” he finally responded.
Ji Chi smiled, a bit crazily, but with a touch of tenderness. “No matter what the situation, you’ve never touched my lower back. What’s so frightening about it?”
Jiang Junlin didn’t reply.
Jiang Junlin didn’t want to engage in this conversation, but Ji Chi seed to be trapped in so inescapable mories. There was a chill in his eyes as Ji Chi continued, “In fact, you’ve known all along, haven’t you?”
“Ji Chi…” Jiang Junlin’s tone softened slightly. “It’s in the past, and that place has long been reduced to rubble.”
“I can’t move on!” Ji Chi glared at him angrily. “Do you know how this injury happened? I did it myself. I wanted to erase that mark completely, so I used a knife to cut it, and that wasn’t enough—I even used hot iron to cauterize it. Even though the scar is gone, I still know what I went through!”
Jiang Junlin clenched his fists.
Ji Chi continued, “The Master of the Dark Web in the underworld is all-powerful and must have known what happened. I almost forgot—China’s military unit destroyed that place. Did you provide the information and plan the operation?”
Jiang Junlin remained silent for a mont. “Yes, you’ve had lingering doubts about this matter. I told you I didn’t return to find you because I was ambushed by Lu Zhiyuan and was seriously injured, but you didn’t believe .”
“Your credibility with has long been bankrupt..”
