“Okay, I'll consider it!” Zhou Li said with a smile. He had worked with Zhou Jinjin before and liked her personality. However, he had never collaborated with her on music before, and he was quite selective when it came to music. It wasn't just about playing well; it had to evoke a feeling that was intangible and elusive. Gu Chuyun's musical talents were considered high, but Zhou Li didn't have a good impression of her. He didn't feel a connection.

Speaking of Gu Chuyun, Zhou Li couldn't resist gossiping with Gu Ci. She had been gaining popularity recently, starring in the music video of a famous singer and appearing in a web series. The web series had been filmed right after her high school graduation and had recently been released to great acclaim. She played the role of a kind and beautiful female lead, with a captivating appearance and an innovative plot. Her co-star's looks were also exceptional. She had become famous overnight and had great future prospects. Gu Chuyun was a real prodigy, a music student from the country's top university. Her fame as a talented student set her apart in the entertainment industry, and her marketing was very effective, making her a big star.

“Hasn't she had some scandals in variety shows, got engaged to Lu Shijie, and had some controversies? Did that not affect her?” Gu Ci asked.

“Internet users have short memories. In the entertainment industry, which star doesn't have some scandals? You just need to spend money on PR. She's a high-achieving student. After the Gu family's bankruptcy, she built a new image as a bankrupt heiress who turned her life around. She's no longer arrogant, she's humble and polite. People love this transformation,” Zhou Li explained. Even though he didn't like gossip, he couldn't help sharing this with Gu Ci. “Even my talent agency wanted me to collaborate with her, but I turned it down.”

When he mentioned his refusal, Zhou Li seemed a bit proud.

Gu Ci chuckled and said, “If it's in your favor, you should collaborate, regardless of my feelings.”

“That's not possible. If you dislike her, I won't collaborate with her. It's a matter of principle,” Zhou Li replied firmly.

Gu Ci smiled, raised her glass for a toast, and they continued to enjoy their dinner conversation.

On the way home, Gu Ci checked the latest news about Gu Chuyun. She was indeed on the rise, and it seemed she had made some influential connections. Her recent success was evident from the abundance of her photos, interviews, appearances on variety shows, and event attendances. She appeared confident and elegant, and her makeup embraced a natural and refined style.

Gu Chuyun had a great foundation: a gentle and attractive appearance, early acclaim for her violin skills, and a background as a top student at a prestigious university. After their rivalry had faded, they both found their own paths to success. Gu Ci couldn't help but smile as she looked at Gu Chuyun's photos in interviews. She was truly shining.

Could Gu Chuyun continue her successful journey?

Gu Ci thought not!

A hint of determination flashed in Gu Ci's eyes as she used her finger to draw an X on Gu Chuyun's face in one of the interview photos. “Gu Chuyun, climb as high as you can. The higher you go, the harder you'll fall!” Gu Ci thought to herself.

Gu Ziyu worked tirelessly, helping Gu Ci unlock the chip. After a brief examination, he was stunned. “Wow! Uncle's background… it's incredible!” “Mom, the information is here!”

Gu Ci had been waiting in the study and rushed over when she heard the news. She was aware of her son's special status and couldn't involve him, so she left the room.

“Mom, 1 really didn't know anything!” Gu Ziyu said.

“Good!” Gu Ci smiled, ruffling his hair. “Go to sleep now. If there's anything, Mom will come to you!”

“I'm seriously shaken. I think I'm going to have trouble sleeping,” Gu Ziyu said with a straight face as he headed to bed. “I'll never trust Uncle's punctuation again! Not a single comma!”

Gu Ci chuckled and unlocked the chip's data on the big screen. It contained information about Jiang Junlin's background, revealing that it wasn't Jiang Minghua's rejection that led to Jiang Junlin's selection, as was widely believed.

“When Jiang Junlin was in his first year of high school, he was chosen.”

However, he was still quite young and needed a transitional period, a period of growth. So, Jiang Minghua needed to help him through these ten years. But Jiang Minghua refused.

It was Jiang Junlin who actively requested to enter the underworld without the need for a transition. He studied and worked at the same time, gaining practical experience. He stood out prominently in China, so at the age of seventeen, after being admitted to University A, he studied for only three months before applying for overseas study. He spent three years abroad, then returned to China. After graduating, he simultaneously worked at a bank and pursued postgraduate and doctoral studies.

From the age of eighteen, he officially entered the underworld. Gu Ci quickly skimmed through his resume and achievements. It seemed to be Jiang Junlin's work diary, recording the major events of his ten years of work.

Gu Ci was shocked by what she read.

“Heartless and ruthless…”

It was truly chilling to see that he had eliminated three underworld leaders in ten years. There were no details, only event records, but they revealed how ruthless Jiang Junlin could be.

Gu Ci frowned. No wonder in the previous life, he had his legs broken and was imprisoned by Ji Chi. If it weren't for being hidden away by Ji Chi, her brother probably wouldn't have survived. He had truly made formidable enemies!

Jiang Junlin's personal work diary was just a small part of it. The most critical information in the chip was under the jurisdiction of the underworld's dark management. It included intelligence, technology, assassination, and financial transactions. With control over these resources, one could dominate the entire underworld. But the information she received was incomplete, only half of it, even the passwords were incomplete. To gain the necessary permissions to execute tasks in place of Jiang Junlin without anyone noticing, she needed the other half of the information. But where was it?

Gu Ci searched through the chip's data. It was a massive database, and she couldn't find any clues to the missing information.

Her brother couldn't have provided only half the information. Gu Ci seemed to recall something and took out the bracelet. She remembered seeing a string of numbers when she opened the clasp. Gu Ci found the code on the bracelet.

She decrypted the code and obtained a phone number.

After a moment's hesitation, she dialed the number.

Late at night, at one in the morning, after three rings, someone answered. It was a gentle female voice. “Hello!”

“I'm Jiang Junlin's sister, my name is Gu Ci. I need to talk to you.”

“Location!”

“Blue Fields Villa, Number Twelve.”

“Ten minutes!”

Gu Ci stood outside Blue Fields Villa, waiting. She had already informed the security guard. She waited for eight minutes until she heard the roar of a motorcycle engine, which was particularly noticeable in the quiet night.

The motorcycle approached from a distance and came to a stop in front of Gu Ci. The rider was a stylishly dressed woman wearing a helmet, black leather jacket, pants, and boots, with only her beautiful eyes visible.

“Hello, I'm Gu Ci!”

“I know you!” The woman's voice was as gentle as water, which was quite unexpected given her appearance. She removed her helmet, revealing a stunning face that needed no makeup.

It was Qin Wan, also known as Little Cherry!

Gu Ci recognized her as well.

“Hello, I'm Qin Wan!” She hung her helmet on the motorcycle's front, extending her hand. She wore black gloves.

Gu Ci couldn't have dreamt that it would be Qin Wan.

They shook hands, and Gu Ci said, “1 know you too, the Defense Information Department's beauty.. Your reputation precedes you!”
