Ha Rong Li couldnt control his mocking tone, Black Hawk only recognizes Third Master. You, an adult, lost to a minor like Third Master. Its not just your embarrassment; Im embarrassed for you. And now you dare to talk big. Where does your confidence come from?
Tang Mingzhou sneered, If it werent for The Dark Lord colluding with the triads, would I have been arrested? Would 1 have been framed? The leader of Black Hawk, who conspired with the enemy and betrayed his master, do you really believe that? If he could betray me back then, hell betray you all today. You work for him, and one day, you wont know how youll meet your end! Being locked up by the national security for a few years seems to have made you lose your mind, Ji Chi remarked without mincing words. You dont even understand Black Hawks structure, and you dare to come here and try to turn us against each other. Do you even know us?
The information gap was truly terrifying.
Tang Mingzhou had been locked up by national security for several years, and later, Jiang Junlin sent him to Paradise Island, where he was under constant surveillance. They claimed he had gained his freedom, but how much real freedom did he have? He couldnt find any information about Black Hawks internal affairs online, and he dared not contact his own connections for fear of exposure. If even the last bit of his network was exposed, controlled by Lu Zhiyuan and Jiang Junlin, he would have no chance.
Ji Chi and Rong Li both speculated that Tang Mingzhou wouldnt dare to expose his own connections, which is why he knew nothing about Black Hawks internal affairs.
Tang Mingzhou had once been the leader of Black Hawk; he wasnt a fool. He also sensed that Ji Chi had an ulterior motive in his words. Who are you people?
He couldnt be blamed for underestimating Ji Chi and Rong Li. Ji Chis appearance was deceptive; he could easily pass for a seductive type. He had a handsome face, a great physique, clean eyes, and looked several years younger than his actual age, appearing to be in his early twenties. Rong Li was calm, young, and had a quick temper. In his memory, men with high status and power shouldnt be so easily angered; they should be like Jiang Junlin.
Let me introduce myself. Im Ji Chi, the next leader of Black Hawk. Ji Chi looked at Tang Mingzhou with a surprised expression. Third Master sent me. Are you surprised?
I dont believe it! Tang Mingzhou blurted out. Whose child from the Nine Great Families are you?
The leader of Black Hawk had always been a figurehead, and Tang Mingzhou thought Lu Zhiyuan had colluded with one of the Nine Great Families to groom Ji Chi. However, none of the Nine Great Families had the surname Ji.
Im a child that Third Master picked up in the Pentagon. I have no family or background. Tang Mingzhou, the Black Hawk in your memories is outdated. Nowadays, Black Hawk follows the orders of Third Master alone. What do you want to do? Do you want to meet Third Master? What are your intentions?
Ji Chi didnt underestimate Tang Mingzhou. Even though he seemed a bit senile, it might not be an act. After all, Tang Mingzhou had endured silently for several years under national securitys watch, and he ultimately received immunity. If it werent for his proactive disclosure and contact with them, Tang Mingzhou could have spent his retirement peacefully on Paradise Island. He had Jiang Junlin in his grip, and Ji Chi was confident that Jiang Junlin wouldnt kill him; otherwise, his act of exchanging immunity would also be exposed, becoming a scandal. He should have been sentenced to death, but he gained his freedom instead. Such a person couldnt be foolish.
Lu Zhiyuan actually groomed a child with such an unclear background like you?
Tang Mingzhou couldnt believe it. Could that be something Lu Zhiyuan would do?
When Third Master was groomed by you back then, he was also a child. But Third Master wont end up like you because Im not Third Master, and Third Master isnt you! Ji Chi said calmly. If you want to meet Third Master, thats no problem. A video call will suffice!
No, I want to meet in person! Tang Mingzhou said coldly. If it were just a video call, 1 would have contacted him long ago.
Rong Li was getting impatient. Why make things complicated with a video call when a phone call can do the job?
Why dont you ask Lu Zhiyuan?
Rong Li raised his hand and impatiently knocked Tang Mingzhou unconscious.
Ji Chi remarked, Youre quite rough!
He hasnt spoken a single truth; its boring to chat with him, Rong Li said impatiently. He dialed Lu Zhiyuans video call and briefly showed him the unconscious Tang Mingzhou.
Lu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow. What happened to him?
I knocked him out! Rong Li said. Third Master, he wants to meet you, and his intentions are clear. He refused a video call. Are you sure you want to bring him back?
Bring him back! Lu Zhiyuan said coldly. I have some unfinished business with him to settle.
Alright, understood!
Rong Li hung up the call and injected Tang Mingzhou with a small dose of a tranquilizer from a hidden stash. The needle hole was tiny, and even if Tang Mingzhou woke up, he wouldnt notice. Ji Chi asked, Are you being too cautious?
Better safe than sorry. 1 have a feeling he led us here for a reason, and its not that simple, Rong Li said, pointing to his eyelid. My eyelid has been twitching all day.
Arent you a staunch materialist?
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Im superstitious now too.
After receiving a message from Dr. North, Gu Ci checked the hospitals schedule and found that she had three days off. She applied for leave and came to Paradise Island. When she arrived on the island, the lockdown had just been lifted. If it hadnt been, the islands resources would have been depleted, and there would have been unrest.
Have you seen Ji Chi and Rong Li on the island since your last meeting with them? Gu Ci asked.
I havent seen them at all. Its been two days, and theres been no sign of them, Gu Ci replied.
As Gu Ci watched the numerous boats coming and going from the harbor, she couldnt help but think that Black Hawks members were truly skilled at hiding their tracks. Just as she had that thought, Dr. North intercepted a message.
Ji Chi and Rong Li are escorting Tang Mingzhou out of the harbor. They have a clear flight number, Dr. North informed her. Where was this message intercepted?
Black Hawk has a frequent encryption channel that we just cracked, the information officer reported.
Gu Ci thought about Jiang Junlins orders. Tang Mingzhou couldnt fall into Lu Zhiyuans hands. Everyone to the harbor!
Yes!
Ji Chi and Rong Li arranged for Tang Mingzhou to board a cargo ship. They had been hiding on the island for two days, waiting for the day when the island would be unsealed. The coming and going of ships in the harbor were particularly chaotic on this day, and no one would come to check.
They blended in on the cargo ship, hoping to leave the harbor as soon as possible.
But they didnt anticipate that they hadnt even left the inner sea when Gu Ci and two ships from Dr. North intercepted them on the open sea. Gu Ci appeared on the deck, smiling as she greeted Ji Chi. Ji Chi, where are you going in such a hurry?
Ji Chi immediately realized that something was very wrong. Rong Li secretly sent a message to Lu Zhiyuan.
We lost someone. Do you mind if we come aboard to search? Gu Ci asked with a smile.
Cici, please dont make it difficult for us! Ji Chi whispered. This person is wanted by Third Master. If we lose him, we cant bear the consequences.
Coincidentally, this is someone my brother specifically requested. If we lose him, we cant bear the consequences either! Gu Ci was about to board the ship, and Ji Chi and Rong Li couldnt stop her. If it were Dr. North and Qin Wan, they might have had a chance.
Gu Cis words made it clear that she was wary of their ship!
Gu Ci and Qin Wan brought two teams of people onto the ship, while Dr. North stayed on his own ship. Tang Mingzhou was brought up on deck. Ji Chi and Rong Li exchanged a glance. I also want to know how our information leaked.
Qin Wan sneered, Our information officer decrypted one of your encryption channels and intercepted your messages.
Ji Chi and Rong Li were taken aback. Ji Chi said, Thats impossible. Since the arrest of Tang Mingzhou, we havent used any encryption channels, nor have we had any communication at all. You
Before Ji Chi could finish speaking, he suddenly smelled the scent of gunpowder and heard an explosion. In an instant, the ship was blown to pieces..
