Chapter 134 - 134: Third Master’s Fall
Gu Ci played the violin all night long, while Gu Ziyu woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, covered in cold sweat. Upon hearing the familiar sound of the violin, he felt somewhat reassured. Gu Ci’s violin sound comforted two men, one old and one young.
Gu Ziyu knew that he was still by his parents’ side upon hearing the sound of the violin. In the previous life, after Gu Ci’s hand was crippled, she rarely played the violin again.
“Ziyu, are you awake?” The violin sound stopped, and Gu Ci heard some noise in Ziyu’s room. She knocked on the door, and Gu Ziyu hastily wiped away his cold sweat. “Mom, I’m awake.”
It was five in the morning.
When Gu Ci entered the room, Gu Ziyu concealed the traces of his nightmare and deliberately yawned sleepily, “Mom, you woke up so early.”
“I couldn’t sleep at night, so I’ve been playing the violin. Did I wake you up?”
Gu Ziyu shook his head and hugged Gu Ci’s waist, “I love listening to Mom playing the violin the most.”
It was his most comforting music.
Gu Ci tapped his nose and asked, “Do you want to go back to sleep?”
“No, I have to go to class soon.”
Gu Ci nodded and waited for Ziyu to freshen up. She took him to the study.
“Baby, about your archenemy in Black Hawk…”
Gu Ci heated up some milk and asked, “Can you repeat it for Mom?”
Gu Ziyu told Gu Ci everything about him and Black Hawk in detail. The milk was ready in the microwave, and Gu Ci brought it out and handed it to Gu Ziyu. The toasted bread was spread with rose jam, and Gu Ziyu ate it with his cheeks bulging, looking particularly adorable.
“His IP address always overlaps with yours?”
“Yes, he’s too cunning!”
Gu Ci lowered her head, bit the toast, and smiled as she asked Gu Ziyu, “Baby, what do you think… of your hacking skills?”
“The best in the world!” Gu Ziyu furrowed his brow, “Except for that archenemy, hm!”
Though he was reluctant to admit it, his archenemy had located him, and knew all the details about him, but he knew nothing about his archenemy. He was at a slight disadvantage, but Gu Ziyu was too arrogant to admit it.
“In the previous life, you didn’t encounter any opponents.”
“Heh… Probably he died young from staying up late too often.” Gu Ziyu sneered and finished the milk in one gulp.
Gu Ci’s expression became a little complicated as she fixedly looked at Gu Ziyu.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Gu Ziyu found his mom’s gaze somewhat frightening. “Did I say something wrong?”
Gu Ci chuckled softly, “You’re right. Maybe he did die young.”
“Well, then let’s wish him an early death again…”
“No need for that!” Gu Ci quickly interrupted Gu Ziyu’s words, her expression conflicted. She rubbed her brow twice and with the fight between Lu Zhiyuan and their son, whom should she support?
It was truly a good question!
“Baby, if one day you and Dad were to fight, whom should I support?”
“Mom, is this a question to ponder over?” Gu Ziyu widened his eyes incredulously. “I’m your baby, so of course, you should support me. 1 knew it. You’re always lying to me. In your heart, Dad is always more important!”
“Baby…”
Gu Ziyu got angry, grabbed his heavy school bag, and left without looking back, acting particularly cool.
Gu Ci was speechless.
Li Jiang sent a guard to accompany Gu Ziyu to school while he took Lu Zhiyuan to the hospital to see Lu Ze.
Gu Ci: Have you arrived at the hospital? How is Uncle Lu’s condition?
Lu Zhiyuan: Just arrived.
Gu Ci took the elevator to the 78th floor and put her phone away.
Lu Zhiyuan: I hate hospitals. After seeing the old man, 1’11 go to school with you.
Gu Ci went up the stairs and entered Lu Zhiyuan’s house using the fingerprint lock. She had registered her fingerprint in Lu Zhiyuan’s house and easily entered, knowing about his dual personality. She had never been upstairs before.
Both floors had the same layout. Gu Ci went to Lu Zhiyuan’s bedroom first. The bedroom was in black, white, and gray, with a minimalist style.
On the bedside table in the bedroom, there was a contract. Gu Ci flipped it open. It was a business contract for the Dynasty Race Team. Lu Zhiyuan had signed it. She went through it in the bedroom but didn’t find any useful information.
Gu Ci went to the study. The study had a physical lock and a password lock. She stood in front of it, lost in thought, and then entered Lu Zhiyuan’s usual password, 8888.
Failure!
Gu Ci raised an eyebrow and tried Lu Zhiyuan’s birthday, but it also failed.
She narrowed her eyes, had a thought, and entered her own birthday, October 28th. The study door opened, and Gu Ci pushed it open somewhat unexpectedly. The study was very large, spanning over 100 square meters.
There were eight large screens hanging on the walls, displaying complex codes.
One of the screens showed a chat interface with Gu Ziyu.
The corners of Gu Ci’s lips curled up. “Indeed, it’s you, Third Master.”
Gu Ci had always been puzzled by the mysterious identity of Third Master. He was always busy and his identity was shrouded in mystery. When they were in Haicheng for tourism, she happened to see him handling a short position contract with great skill and vast funds. At that time, she was curious about why Third Master could handle such a professional short position contract. She had subtly asked Li Jiang about the management of Global Center, and Third Master was not involved.
If that was the case, what was Third Master’s identity?
Gu Ziyu had been murmuring in her ear all this time about his archenemy in Black Hawk, who had exceptional skills and thoroughly investigated him. His IP address always overlapped with his own, but in the previous life, they had never met. Gu Ziyu concluded that he must have died young in the previous life.
Gu Ci always listened to it as an interesting story. Her son had a stubborn and arrogant personality, refusing to admit defeat. It was a good thing for someone to dampen his spirit and let him know that there were people better than him.
Until Third Master said that she ruined his plan.
His plan was to control the Lu family’s business empire through Black Hawk.
Whether it was Third Master or Third Young Master, they were both Lu Ze’s sons. When Lu Ze was in a coma, Third Master stayed outside the operating room. It didn’t mean he cared much about Lu Ze, but it also didn’t mean that he would hand over the Lu family’s business empire to someone else while Lu Ze’s life hung in the balance. The only explanation was that Black Hawk Group still remained under his control.
Chen Rushi was the second-in-command of Black Hawk, the true owner of Black Hawk. He rarely showed himself and never revealed any photos. Chen Rushi purposefully got close to her during the Lavis incident and sabotaged Lu Zhiyuan’s competition. It was obvious that he was targeting Lu Zhiyuan.
There was only one explanation: Lu Zhiyuan was the owner of Black Hawk.
In the previous life, he died young, so they didn’t meet. Therefore, Ji Chi obeyed Lu Zhiyuan without reason. Ji Chi was originally Lu Zhiyuan’s person.
Because Lu Zhiyuan was in a coma for five years, after Chen Rushi took control of Black Hawk, he supported Lu Shijie and Ji Chi’s fight. That was why Lu Shijie and Gu Chuyun could act recklessly and become outlaws.
It was all because they had Black Hawk backing them, a Black Hawk without Lu Zhiyuan.
Gu Ci’s mind suddenly became clear. She quietly left Lu Zhiyuan’s house, took a deep breath, and sighed in relief. With Third Master in Black Hawk, Chen Rushi’s plan had failed, and he wouldn’t try to seize power again. Lu Shijie and Gu Chuyun wouldn’t cause any trouble either. Would they live peacefully and smoothly in this lifetime?
How could she tell Ziyu that his archenemy was his father?
