Chapter 16

“Lu Zhiyuan, why do you care so much if you don’t even like me?”

Lu Zhiyuan retorted, “I… I’m doing it to lower the crime rate.”

“Oh, a zealous citizen. I’ll make sure to nominate you for the ‘Touching China’ award this year.”

Lu Zhiyuan remained speechless.

A tender and soft voice interrupted, “Are you two done talking, big sister, big brother?”

Glancing back into the bar with his clear peach blossom eyes, Gu Zi Yu suggested, “Let’s get rid of Lu Shijie!”

Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci were both rendered speechless this time.

Baby, do you still remember to be a well-behaved and adorable little cutie in front of Daddy?

You mustn’t break character!

Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but laugh, “Little munchkin, have you been watching too many TV dramas?”

Gu Zi Yu smiled mischievously, “I’ve actually killed quite a few people.”

“We can’t let the character image collapse, my precious!” Gu Ci maintained a polite yet awkward smile. “He’s been obsessing over Hong Kong triad dramas lately… It’s getting to him!”

Lu Zhiyuan could relate, “I can see that!”

With an expressionless face, Gu Zi Yu looked at his young parents and couldn’t help but sigh with concern. Being young but having to act mature was quite burdensome. Alright then, he must keep up the charade. It was just too difficult. Why did the big boss have to play the role of an adorable little cutie?

The baby was regretting it!

Lu Zhiyuan brought Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu back home, giving a subtle look to Li Jiang before leaving, indicating for him to take care of things. It wasn’t rush hour yet, so the roads weren’t congested. Still, Lu Zhiyuan was puzzled by one thing, “Little munchkin, how did you know that Gu Ci was here?”

Although he found the little munchkin annoying, he admired the child’s mental composure. Not panicking, not uttering a word, yet being organized and clear-minded.

When a six-year-old child encounters such a situation, aren’t they supposed to cry their hearts out? After all, he had watched too many Hong Kong triad dramas. Wasn’t he the least bit flustered?

Gu Ziyu had already developed a tracking software that was linked to Gu Ci, allowing him to track her whereabouts throughout. Naturally, Gu Ci had thought of it as well.

Gu Ci explained, “I have my phone location tied to Ziyu’s.”

Lu Zhiyuan frowned subtly, not showing any change in his expression. “Why?”

Gu Ziyu replied, “I feel like I’m relying on others, and I lack a sense of security. So, my sister and I linked our phone locations.”

Gu Ziyu had intended to evoke some sympathy from his father, but since he wasn’t familiar with the business, it didn’t trigger any sense of pity in Lu Zhiyuan’s heart. Lu Zhiyuan caught a glimpse of Gu Ci looking at Gu Ziyu so tenderly through the rearview mirror, and his expression darkened slightly. His gaze towards Gu Ziyu turned somewhat cold.

Such scheming at such a young age, so calculating!

Unaware of what was going through Lu Zhiyuan’s mind, Gu Ci found her son increasingly adorable as he earnestly spoke nonsense. She couldn’t help but ruffle his hair and pull him into her embrace.

“Little munchkin, you’re already six years old. Why haven’t you weaned yet?” Lu Zhiyuan suddenly spoke up.

Gu Ziyu was puzzled.

He had intended to play the role of an adorable and soft son in front of his father, but why did his father harbor such animosity towards him?

“Brother, are you jealous?” Gu Ziyu asked.

Lu Zhiyuan felt like someone had stepped on his tail. “Do you even know what jealousy means?”

“Jealousy means I can freely hug Sister while you can’t, so you’re feeling really annoyed,” Gu Ziyu replied confidently.

KO! Gu Ziyu won the battle, leaving Lu Zhiyuan speechless.

This… explanation deserves full marks!

Gu Ci chuckled and hugged Gu Ziyu even tighter. “Don’t mind him.”

Gu Ziyu looked up and gave a peck on Gu Ci’s cheek. Then, he turned to Lu Zhiyuan with a provoking gaze. He wanted to compete for his father’s affection. Could he win?

Lu Zhiyuan remained silent.

This little munchkin was truly irritating!

Gu Ziyu secretly thought, Dad, you’re also quite annoying! He wanted to compete with his father to become the number one person in Mom’s heart.

When Lu Zhiyuan dropped off Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu at the apartment, the last rays of the setting sun vanished, and darkness engulfed the sky. Lu Zhiyuan glanced at the fading light, feeling increasingly restless. He took out a cigarette but decided against smoking it.

“Gu Ci, leave the matter of Lu Shijie to me. Don’t worry,” he said, leaning against the car door, his gaze blending with the darkening sky. Gradually, a shadow cast over him. “I have some things to take care of. You two go ahead.”

“Alright.” Gu Ci held Gu Ziyu’s hand and started walking inside. Gu Ziyu turned back and saw Lu Zhiyuan leaning against the car door.

As the city lights started to illuminate the night, the darkness grew deeper. Lu Zhiyuan was enveloped in shadows, his gaze profound and icy.

After Gu Ci brought Gu Ziyu into the building, Li Jiang also arrived with his men. Lu Zhiyuan was already seated in the backseat, his eyes closed as he maintained a chilling aura of power.

Li Jiang spoke cautiously, barely even daring to breathe, “Third Young Master, where are we going?”

“To the Lu residence!” Lu Zhiyuan’s voice carried a deeper tone.

“Yes!” Li Jiang took a deep breath and started driving towards the Lu residence, with two cars following closely behind. Li Jiang briefed Lu Zhiyuan on the events at the nightclub, but Lu Zhiyuan seemed to be unaffected, still closing his eyes and maintaining an icy demeanor.

Li Jiang couldn’t help but think to himself that Miss Gu Ci was also a ruthless person. Lu Shijie would probably be unable to leave his bed for at least three days. It was truly a ruthless move.

Late at night, in Gu Ziyu’s room, a single lamp was still illuminated. He was currently hacking into the security network of the Black Hawk Group’s armed base. For the past two days, he had been continuously attacking the security network of this armed base.

He wanted to ensure that Ji Cheng took control as soon as possible!

Ji Cheng advised, “Little Milk Bun, I suggest you not act recklessly. The power structure within the Black Hawk Group is extremely complex. Without at least ten years, I won’t be able to climb to the management level, let alone take control. It’s just wishful thinking.”

“One should still have dreams in life. What if it becomes a reality?” Gu Ziyu said lightly. In ten years, the entire Black Hawk Group will be yours!

“Baby, I just submitted an application for the management level. But there’s no guarantee I’ll be accepted. The screening process is very strict,” Ji Cheng replied.

“It’s okay, I helped refine your application. You’ll definitely get in!” Gu Ziyu said calmly. “Within three years, you will become the Asian CEO of the Black Hawk Group.”

Ji Cheng pondered for a moment and shook his head. “Even if I become the Asian CEO, the Black Hawk Group has a total of nine CEOs. As long as Third Young Master is there, he can suppress all the evildoers. The Black Hawk Group will remain stable.”

“If he dies, the Black Hawk Group will descend into chaos!” Gu Ziyu’s voice remained calm and unruffled.

Ji Cheng had witnessed his ruthless nature and didn’t dare to treat him as a typical six-year-old child. He smiled bitterly and said, “Third Young Master moves in secrecy, and to this day, no one has seen his true face. He must be surrounded by a multitude of highly skilled individuals. How could you possibly kill him?”

“In the age of the internet, no one can hide their information. I will find him,” Gu Ziyu’s voice remained calm and steady. “I’ll give you a target, and you’ll give me a corpse. It’s as simple as that.”

In the previous life, he was able to devour the Black Hawk Group. In this life, he would undoubtedly achieve the same!

Gu Ziyu woke up at 5 a.m. and noticed that the light was still on in Gu Ziyu’s room. She squinted her eyes, opened the door, and found Gu Ziyu sitting in front of the computer, having stayed up all night to evade the attacks of opposing hackers.

“You didn’t sleep all night, Ziyu?”

“Mom, I just woke up!” Gu Ziyu smiled at her and set up a virtual space IP, cutting off the connection and thwarting the enemy’s attacks. Gu Ziyu chuckled, “How about going for a run together?”

The homebody Gu Ziyu didn’t know how to respond.
