When the gunshots rang out, both Dr. North and Zhang Qiang were startled. Bullets hit the glass of the building, shattering it. Dr. North waved, “Take cover!”
They were both afraid of any further mishaps involving Ji Chi. A young girl appeared on the rooftop, carrying a gun. “The sniper on the other side is dead!” Dr. North, after recognizing Qin Wan’s features, was struck dumbfounded. “How did you end up here?”
Qin Wan slid down from the tenth floor, untangling the rope. She stowed away her sniper rifle and looked at Dr. North coldly. “Teacher, your rank isn’t sufficient to question me.”
Dr. North kept silent.
Zhang Qiang, upon seeing her, wasn’t surprised. Qin Wan grabbed Ji Chi roughly, patting his face. “Young man, remember, you owe me your life!”
She roughly stuffed Ji Chi into the car. Seeing this, Dr. North waved for his men to get in the car, and they quickly departed.
Qin Wan had heard the gunshots after leaving the supermarket, realizing that something was amiss. She abandoned all her groceries, returned to the safehouse, took her sniper rifle, and ran frantically to catch up. At first, she followed Ji Chi, climbing to a high vantage point. But when she saw Ji Chi, she knew she had made a mistake.
She was about to retrieve her gun and leave, but then Jiang Junlin arrived. So she set up her gun again, intending to take out Chen Biao with one shot. Little did she know, while scanning the sniper points, she spotted four snipers.
The fourth sniper had been waiting all along. Qin Wan kept her gun trained on him, fearing he might kill Jiang Junlin. Then she noticed that his rifle was consistently aimed at Ji Chi.
Qin Wan didn’t care about Ji Chi’s fate, in fact, she thought if he died, so be it, as he was the nemesis of her employer. But when Jiang Junlin chose to leave with Chen Biao for Ji Chi’s sake, Qin Wan knew she had to protect Ji Chi.
So, when she saw the other three snipers withdraw, leaving one behind to await orders, she knew Chen Biao intended to kill Ji Chi.
Jiang Junlin had no knowledge of her presence at the scene. She chose not to save Ji Chi, and Jiang Junlin wouldn’t even know. But Qin Wan didn’t want to take that risk. In this world, if you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. Eventually, secrets are bound to come to light. If Jiang Junlin found out she was at the scene but didn’t save Ji Chi, the irreparable rift between them was not worth it. If Ji Chi had to die, it couldn’t be because she stood by and let it happen.
There was an irreparable rift between them as siblings, all because of her selfishness, and Qin Wan felt it wasn’t worth it! Even if Ji Chi were to die, she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing!
“Damn it!” Qin Wan angrily kicked the car door, and seeing Ji Chi unconscious only added to her frustration.
The people in the car remained silent.
Qin Wan drove Ji Chi to the entrance of the Black Hawk organization. It was revealed that the one who came out to receive him was Rong Li. Qin Wan roughly pushed Ji Chi out of the car, and Rong Li exploded in anger, “Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
Qin Wan casually leaned on the car door, saying, “Well, without me, he would have died long ago! Are all Black Hawk people this impolite?”
Rong Li helped Ji Chi up, noticing that he was badly injured, barely conscious, and had been kicked out of the car by Qin Wan. He performed a typical Black Hawk act of being very impolite. “Get lost!”
Qin Wan was momentarily taken aback, then gave a thumbs up, “Impressive!”
She turned the car around and quickly drove away, her pent-up emotions mounting.
She should have just let him die!
Qin Wan returned to the headquarters of the Underground Dark Web, and it was already 3 a.m. Dr. North and Zhang Qiang had just finished their meeting. Their goal was to track down Jiang Junlin’s location before they sent him back to China. Once he returned to China, everything would be beyond their control. This was a consensus among all involved. This matter needed to be resolved in Paris.
Qin Wan, exhausted, sank into the sofa, lit a cigar, and exhaled a cloud of smoke. Tobacco could be refreshing when one was tired. Since she had returned, Dr. North had been secretly watching her.
Zhang Qiang didn’t reveal any information, but Dr. North understood what was happening.
“Qin Wan, you’re so young, and your addiction to smoking is this bad!” When Qin Wan lit her second cigar, Dr. North couldn’t help but speak.
“Why do you care?” Qin Wan was a girl who couldn’t be controlled by anyone except Jiang Junlin. “Here, you’re not my teacher.”
Dr. North frowned and didn’t say anything further.
Video communication with Gu Ci was also initiated. Dr. North explained the situation to Gu Ci. Gu Ci asked, “Have all of my brother’s bodyguards turned traitor?”
“The bodyguard team consists of ten people, all chosen by Chen Biao. If Chen Biao has turned traitor, everyone else will follow suit,” Dr. North said. “We are currently trying to locate them. If they return to China through official channels, it will be difficult for us to intervene.”
They couldn’t hijack a plane!
Gu Ci remained calm as she browsed through some information. “I’ve reviewed the list of my brother’s bodyguards. There’s a guy named Liu Bingwen. He was responsible for my brother’s security in Europe for the past two years. During that time, he met a French girl who gave birth to their daughter. The child is now a year and a half old.”
Dr. North immediately understood.
Zhang Qiang furrowed his brow. “What’s going on with this bodyguard team? My lord’s personal guards are not allowed to marry or have children. If they fall in love, they are required to voluntarily leave the team. Chen Biao not only betrayed us but also failed to report this.”
“He has already betrayed my brother, so he must have had ulterior motives for a long time,” Gu Ci said indifferently. “I’ve sent you the address.”
Dr. North saw the address and dispatched a small team. “Let’s not alarm the woman and child.”
“Don’t worry; we know what to do.”
Gu Ci said, “My brother has been gone for an hour and a half already. We need to act quickly. Zhang Qiang, my brother’s bodyguard team all have special communication codes, right?”
“Yes, they do. If they have any doubts, they will check the internal network for notifications. I haven’t revoked their permissions yet,” Zhang Qiang said. They could see all internal network commands and notifications.
Of course, they could only see what Gu Ci wanted them to see.
Qin Wan asked, “How did you know that Liu Bingwen has a daughter?”
Gu Ci smiled gently, “Liu Bingwen is a man living alone in Paris. Since my brother’s visits to Paris have been infrequent, he has had a lot of free time. My brother doesn’t assign him tasks frequently, maybe just once a month. For a young man in the romantic city, how does he pass the time? Apart from training, it’s flirting with women. If there’s such a strict rule for the bodyguards not to be involved in relationships, it indicates that their emotional lives are quite empty, and indulging in romance is normal. Since Chen Biao has betrayed us, the grip he had on this bodyguard team must have loosened. A little investigation should yield some clues. Liu Bingwen had already been marked in my brother’s records as being soft-hearted and wavering in his loyalty. We had actually planned to replace him this year. I’ve sent an internal network message, and when the team reaches the location, they should remain passive. Once Liu Bingwen sees the message, he’ll definitely go to them. You just need to wait for him.”
“Understood!”
Gu Ci’s instructions were clear for every detail. “If Liu Bingwen resists arrest, tell him that not disturbing his woman and child is our greatest mercy. As long as my brother is safe, I’ll spare his life.”
“Understood!”
