“Ha…” Rong Li couldn’t control his mocking tone, “Black Hawk only recognizes Third Master. You, an adult, lost to a minor like Third Master. It’s not just your embarrassment; I’m embarrassed for you. And now you dare to talk big. Where does your confidence come from?”

Tang Mingzhou sneered, “If it weren’t 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, he’ll betray you all today. You work for him, and one day, you won’t know how you’ll 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 don’t even understand Black Hawk’s 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 couldn’t find any information about Black Hawk’s 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 wouldn’t dare to expose his own connections, which is why he knew nothing about Black Hawk’s internal affairs.

Tang Mingzhou had once been the leader of Black Hawk; he wasn’t a fool. He also sensed that Ji Chi had an ulterior motive in his words. “Who are you people?”

He couldn’t be blamed for underestimating Ji Chi and Rong Li. Ji Chi’s 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 shouldn’t be so easily angered; they should be like Jiang Junlin.

“Let me introduce myself. I’m 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 don’t 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.

“I’m 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 didn’t 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 security’s watch, and he ultimately received immunity. If it weren’t 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 wouldn’t 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 couldn’t be foolish.

“Lu Zhiyuan actually groomed a child with such an unclear background like you?”

Tang Mingzhou couldn’t 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 won’t end up like you because I’m not Third Master, and Third Master isn’t you!” Ji Chi said calmly. “If you want to meet Third Master, that’s 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 don’t you ask Lu Zhiyuan?”

Rong Li raised his hand and impatiently knocked Tang Mingzhou unconscious.

Ji Chi remarked, “You’re quite rough!”

“He hasn’t spoken a single truth; it’s boring to chat with him,” Rong Li said impatiently. He dialed Lu Zhiyuan’s 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 wouldn’t 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 it’s not that simple,” Rong Li said, pointing to his eyelid. “My eyelid has been twitching all day.”

“Aren’t you a staunch materialist?”

“When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I’m superstitious now too.”

After receiving a message from Dr. North, Gu Ci checked the hospital’s 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 hadn’t been, the island’s 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 haven’t seen them at all. It’s been two days, and there’s been no sign of them,” Gu Ci replied.

As Gu Ci watched the numerous boats coming and going from the harbor, she couldn’t help but think that Black Hawk’s 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 Junlin’s orders. Tang Mingzhou couldn’t fall into Lu Zhiyuan’s 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 didn’t anticipate that they hadn’t 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 don’t make it difficult for us!” Ji Chi whispered. “This person is wanted by Third Master. If we lose him, we can’t bear the consequences.”

“Coincidentally, this is someone my brother specifically requested. If we lose him, we can’t bear the consequences either!” Gu Ci was about to board the ship, and Ji Chi and Rong Li couldn’t stop her. If it were Dr. North and Qin Wan, they might have had a chance.

Gu Ci’s 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, “That’s impossible. Since the arrest of Tang Mingzhou, we haven’t 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..
