Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Zhiyuan watched the stubborn and resolute figure walking away, feeling as if a thousand arrows had pierced his heart. As she moved farther from him, the physical pain began to subside, but his emotional agony only intensified. In his chest, his heart was metaphorically being torn apart.

Once upon a time, they were like a pair of moths, willing to embrace the flame even though they knew it would consume them. They flew towards the light, towards the fire, and if they couldn’t love each other, they chose to die together.

Even if they loved each other again, they couldn’t resist the gears of fate, and on the Three Lives Stone, they had no karmic ties.

Lu Zhiyuan covered his face in pain. “Cici, I’m sorry!”

If he hadn’t been entangled in the worldly desires of the seven emotions and six desires from the beginning, he wouldn’t have brought pain and despair to Gu Ci throughout eternity. He had tried every possible way and made countless changes, but none could alter the outcome.

Even if he resolved to avoid Gu Ci forever, fate would still bring her to him.

Third Young Master’s letter was his love letter to Gu Ci.

Even that love letter had been burnt to ashes. From the very beginning, they had no hope.

Qin Wan looked at Gu Ci, tears streaming down her face, and was taken aback, interrupting her game. “What’s wrong? Did Third Master bully you?”

Gu Ci shook her head. “No, it’s just that I feel upset. Let’s go!”

“Third Master, someone left a person at our doorstep today…” Chen Liangyou smiled and continued, “Do you know who did it?”

“It’s quite obvious. I did it,” Lu Zhiyuan replied calmly, though he lacked color in his face. Yet, his presence remained unyielding.

“What is the meaning behind this, Third Master?” Chen Liangyou furrowed his brow.

Lu Zhiyuan casually explained, “I had a car accident last night, and my life was hanging by a thread. After escaping from the valley, I was pursued, and I happened to capture a living witness. This person confessed that you were the one who orchestrated it.”

“This is baseless slander. Third Master and I have always had a close relationship in our cooperation. Why would I do such things that would damage our rapport?”

Chen Liangyou had been collaborating with Lu Zhiyuan for two years. Right from the start, he had the upper hand because he had control over resources and connections. Lu Zhiyuan’s focus had always been in Europe and America, and to establish a presence in China, he needed connections. Even as the heir to the Lu family conglomerate, he couldn’t make much progress without these connections. At that time, his choices were between Chen Liangyou and the Zhang family.

The Zhang family had a longstanding relationship with the Jiang family, and that wasn’t a reason for Lu Zhiyuan to dismiss them. Mr. Zhang was more challenging to work with than Chen Liangyou and was known for his integrity. While he had personal interests, he prioritized his family’s honor and didn’t tolerate many things.

Money and power were not an issue, but Chen Liangyou lacked significant resources to maintain his connections. Lu Zhiyuan could provide what he needed, and the two of them found common ground.

Initially, Chen Liangyou didn’t hold Lu Zhiyuan in high regard. Firstly, Lu Zhiyuan was too young, having come of age just three years ago. He seemed like a kid, even younger than his own son, and in his eyes, that made him vulnerable to manipulation. Secondly, their respective statuses and positions created an imbalance. This inequality made Chen Liangyou feel superior, which was somewhat inevitable.

However, after two years of cooperation, he had come to understand Lu Zhiyuan’s character. If Lu Zhiyuan wanted something, he would get it, and it would be an equal exchange. Trying to take advantage of him was nearly impossible.

Moreover, Lu Zhiyuan was incredibly arrogant and not subservient. He never looked up to Chen Liangyou’s power and status, nor did he seek to ingratiate himself. He remained calm to the extreme, strictly adhering to the rules of their transactions. Whenever Chen Liangyou attempted to push his boundaries, Lu Zhiyuan firmly rejected it.

Thinking they had the upper hand in the deal, Chen Liangyou was surprised to find himself on the losing end. As a result, he dared not underestimate Lu Zhiyuan any longer.

“I’m also curious, Mr. Chen, why did you do this and damage our relationship?” Lu Zhiyuan looked at him. “We have always had a good partnership. Just because we had an unpleasant discussion on the Lantern Festival, you took such drastic measures. 1 didn’t expect it at all. So when this person implicated you, I looked into his financial records. Within the past week, he received a transfer of 300,000 yuan, and the sender is from an independent company. The legal representative of this company seems to have no connection to you. However, I also examined the transaction records of this company and found several suspicious transfers, with the recipients being members of the mercenary group you often hire.”

Chen Yang’s face turned extremely ugly. Lu Zhiyuan calmly presented the evidence and reasoned with him. However, Chen Yang felt irritated by Lu Zhiyuan’s composed demeanor. When doing business with the Chen family, it was because the Chen family regarded them highly. There was a vast difference in status and position between the Chen family and the Lu family. When it came to dealing with officials, without the Chen family’s support, whether it was Lu Zhiyuan’s Global Center or the Black Hawk’s market in Asia, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly..
