Chapter 128: You Can’t Bear To

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Chi had eaten and drunk his fill. He said, “Our Black Hawk Group is determined to acquire the Lu Corporation. So, Jiang Junlin, are you taking a sick leave on Monday for the board meeting, or are you going against me?” Jiang Junlin frowned slightly, surprised. “Black Hawk wants to swallow the Lu Corporation?”

Ji Chi shrugged. “Why not?”

Gu Ci couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

Ji Chi took a sip of tea. “As the leading enterprise, with a sound structure and excellent assets, it’s all justified.”

“Chen Rushi has big ambitions,” Jiang Junlin sneered. “Black Hawk is supporting Lu Shijie behind the scenes. How many shares of the Lu Family have you acquired?”

“That’s a trade secret,” Ji Chi said with a smile. “If you want to know, I’m afraid you’ll have to pay a price.”

This sentence seemed to hit a nerve with Jiang Junlin. His face turned extremely unpleasant. Ji Chi seized the opportunity, stood up, buttoned his well-tailored suit, exuding both elegance and charisma.

“Jiang Junlin, you need to learn your lesson,” he said.

With a triumphant air, he left, and even his departing figure looked spirited. Jiang Junlin’s face darkened, and Gu Ci asked nervously, “Brother, what is the grudge between you and Ji Chi?”

“Is it considered a grudge if 1 accidentally killed his loved one?” Jiang Junlin replied.

Gu Ci fell silent.

No wonder Ji Chi had tortured her brother so much in the previous life. They had such a deep-seated hatred. Gu Ci asked anxiously, “Brother, are you joking?”

“Cici, the enmity between him and me is complicated. Don’t worry about it,” Jiang Junlin said, tilting his head back and drinking a glass of wine. “1 owe him a life.”

“Brother… You were targeted for assassination twice. Was it his revenge?”

Jiang Junlin shook his head. “No, it wasn’t him.”

“Then who was it?”

Jiang Junlin looked at Gu Ci with a tense gaze. “Are you afraid of Ji Chi?”

Gu Ci shook her head. “No, I’m not afraid of him.”

What Gu Ci was afraid of was that Ji Chi and her brother would face the same deadly fate as in their previous life. Her brother was an extraordinary talent and couldn’t afford another tragedy, being imprisoned and tormented to death by Ji Chi.

Despite Ji Chi’s fear of Gu Ziyu, he stubbornly pursued this matter without compromise. Regardless of whether it was an order, a threat, or even his life being at stake, Ji Chi never relented.

Was it vengeance for his deceased wife?

“As for grudges, let them be grudges. Nobody should interfere in my affairs with him!” Jiang Junlin declared.

At the Global Center, Gu Ci shared the gossip about Jiang Junlin and Ji Chi with Gu Ziyu. Gu Ziyu blurted out, “That’s impossible!”

“What’s impossible?”

“Ji Chi couldn’t possibly have a loved one!” Gu Ziyu frowned. “He has antisocial personality disorder and doesn’t understand love.”

Gu Ziyu whispered, “He only wants to destroy the world, not love it. He won’t fall in love with anyone. It’s just nonsense to talk about a loved one.”

“My brother sounds very sure,” Gu Ci said, still unsure since she wasn’t close to Ji Chi in their previous life. “He doesn’t seem to be lying.”

“Then Ji Chi must be lying.”

While the mother and son discussed this, Gu Ci saw a headline that caught her attention. Renowned pianist Xu Youli encountered an accident during a performance, falling off the stage and being rushed to the hospital. The performance was interrupted.

Gu Ci’s heart skipped a beat. She asked Lin Chunli, “Aunt, what’s the name of the woman my brother went on a blind date with?”

“Xu Youli. We were watching her performance today, but we didn’t expect an accident to happen. She’s in the hospital now. It’s terrifying. The organizers said it was a deliberate accident, and they are investigating.”

Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu exchanged glances. Gu Ziyu said, “It’s Ji Chi’s doing.”

“This is getting out of hand.” Gu Ci worried about Jiang Junlin and tried calling him but couldn’t reach him. Lin Chunli said that Jiang Junlin hadn’t been at the hospital and left after hearing the news.

On the top floor of the Black Hawk Group.

Jiang Junlin landed a punch on Ji Chi’s cheek. Ji Chi didn’t dodge and took the hit, with bruised lips and blood oozing out. Jiang Junlin grabbed his collar and said, “Ji Chi, how dare you!”

In the darkness of the night, Ji Chi shed his glamorous facade. Some people looked beautiful from afar but were nothing but a skeleton up close.

“Jiang Junlin, in this world, there’s nothing I dare not do,” Ji Chi replied.

The two were close, yet so far apart. Jiang Junlin seethed with anger and struck again, but Ji Chi caught his fist with his palm. Hatred welled up in the corners of Ji Chi’s eyes. “I’ve said it before, you need to learn your lesson!”

As Ji Chi spoke, he twisted Jiang Junlin’s wrist, and they began fighting on the rooftop like two ferocious beasts, each refusing to yield an inch. It didn’t take long before they both showed signs of injuries.

The guards looked at each other, observing with impassive expressions, adopting an attitude of not interfering unless they killed each other.

Ji Chi’s guards couldn’t help but wonder how Jiang Junlin, a busy CEO, could fight Ji Chi on equal footing. It was a rare sight. Clearly, Jiang Junlin had received specialized training.

Ji Chi landed a punch on Jiang Junlin’s abdomen, making him stagger back and lean against the rooftop. When Ji Chi approached, Jiang Junlin wiped the blood from his lips and kicked him fiercely, sending him flying. Ji Chi got up in a fit of rage, pressed Jiang Junlin against the rooftop, with half of his body hanging over the edge. The guards moved closer, remaining vigilant.

“If you have the guts, throw me down. I’ll return this life to you!” Jiang Junlin taunted.

“And you think I won’t?” Ji Chi retorted.

A metallic taste filled Jiang Junlin’s mouth as his blood surged. He spat out blood from the side of his mouth, then smiled, with starlight shining in his eyes, and said, each word deliberate, “No, you can’t bear to.”

Ji Chi’s expression changed as stormy emotions flickered in his eyes. He grabbed Jiang Junlin’s collar and pushed him back into the center of the rooftop.

Jiang Junlin burst into hearty laughter and spat out more blood.

I haven’t had my wings broken yet, haven’t lost everything. How can you bear to take my life?

Ji Chi wasn’t faring well either, his face also showing signs of injury. Exhausted, Jiang Junlin threw himself onto the rooftop, supporting himself with his hands. “Ji Chi, kill me if you dare.”

Ji Chi leaned down from above, blocking the moonlight, and his thin, elongated shadow enveloped Jiang Junlin as they entangled on the ground. “Jiang Junlin, you’re right. We haven’t had enough fun yet. 1 can’t bear to let it end.”

His eyes filled with malicious intent. “If you don’t die by my hand, after you pass away, I’ll reunite your whole family.”

Jiang Junlin’s smile froze for a moment. He swept his foot, catching Ji Chi off guard. Ji Chi was knocked down to the ground. Jiang Junlin swiftly got up, sat on his abdomen, and unleashed a flurry of punches, striking Ji Chi mercilessly. Caught off guard, Ji Chi raised his arm to block, but he was still struck and began spitting blood.

Jiang Junlin held down Ji Chi’s hands and stared at his handsome face with fury. “Our grudges have nothing to do with others, Ji Chi. Don’t involve innocent people.”

“Hahaha…” Ji Chi laughed maniacally, blood staining his teeth. “1 like collective punishment!”

Jiang Junlin swung his fist, his eyes crimson, facing Ji Chi’s provocative smile, but he never landed the punch. Ji Chi suddenly moved his waist. “Jiang Junlin, your attitude is making me excited.”

“You scoundrel!”

Jiang Junlin got up and left, evading like a snake. Ji Chi sat up, stretched his legs, and laughed recklessly and wickedly.. “Is today the first day you’ve realized I’m a scoundrel, Junlin, my brother?”
