SHOCKING! SHE RETURNED WITH A MINIATURE BIGSHOT - Chapter 439 - 439: The Crazy Ji Chi

Chapter 439: The Crazy Ji Chi

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Zhiyuan’s strike was especially ruthless, and Jiang Junlin, knowing that it was deliberate, still took the blow without any defenses. Since their reunion, Ji Chi had never brought up what happened back then in front of him, nor had he mentioned what kind of days he had gone through in Black Hawk. He never mentioned the confusion and fear he had to deal with after coming out of the Pentagon.

He always smiled harmlessly, eager to please him, obeying his every word, except when his emotions got out of control, and he would angrily question whether he had forgotten their agreement. Ji Chi held a grudge against him for not telling him what he had experienced during those crucial years in Black Hawk.

Ji Chi had never complained about why he had given him a false name, causing his long-cherished wish to remain unfulfilled. He always presented his best side to him, intentionally or unintentionally making Jiang Junlin forget the young Ji Chi.

When Lu Zhiyuan saw Jiang Junlin’s expression, he couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of satisfaction. The events at the Pentagon back then had each of them with their own roles and purposes. It couldn’t be said who was right or wrong, just that their choices and positions were different, a twist of fate.

He killed Tang Mingzhou, completely separating the Pentagon from Black Hawk, and no one else knew.

Jiang Junlin destroyed the Pentagon, cooperating with the police to solve an international major case.

Only Ji Chi had his wish shattered, a twist of fate, and he remained in Black Hawk.

When Gu Ci woke up, she had a splitting headache. She had no idea what was in the smoke, but her head hurt terribly. Gu Ci peeled back the black cloth and found Ji Chi and Rong Li lying beside her. Qin Wan was still unconscious. Everything before her eyes seemed surreal, like she had taken some kind of drug. In the dungeon, there was a scent of poppies mixed with a hint of incense.

“Qin Wan, wake up…” Gu Ci crawled over and shook Qin Wan. Ji Chi and Rong Li also removed the black cloth. This was clearly a prison cell, dark and damp, with guards outside who were well-equipped, probably Chen Rushi’s people. They were unarmed, and a confrontation would likely end badly.

Ji Chi, Qin Wan, and Rong Li slowly regained consciousness, all removing their black cloths. This was clearly a prison cell, dimly lit and damp, with guards outside who were well-armed. They were defenseless, and a direct confrontation wouldn’t end well.

“Rong Li, how are you feeling?” Gu Ci inquired.

Rong Li checked his wound; it hadn’t reopened. The gunshot had been deep, and given the limited medical supplies, it was as good as it could be. Rong Li responded, “It stings a bit, but I can manage. I’ll tough it out. I’m young, so my body should recover well. I should be fine.”

He could endure a surgery without anesthesia, so this little pain wouldn’t scare him. The cell had only one window, and as they were talking, someone on the other side threw bread and water through it.

“Time to eat!” the agent tossed the food in, then closed the window.

Qin Wan and Ji Chi took the food. It looked like generic stuff. The water had no branding, and the bread had some packaging, which both Ji Chi and Gu Ci inspected.

Ji Chi’s face turned pale as he crushed the packaging of the bread, squeezing it into a lump in his hand.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Ci asked. “Is there something wrong?”

Ji Chi’s neck veins protruded as he forced a smile. “Nothing.”

Gu Ci was confused but suddenly remembered the origin of this food. It seemed to come from a town near the Pentagon, and it hadn’t changed its name in all these years. Gu Ci’s heart sank. Were they in the Pentagon?

Rong Li kicked Ji Chi lightly. “Don’t starve yourself. The bread didn’t offend you.”

Suddenly, Ji Chi clutched his head, curled up in a corner, trembling, and convulsing. Rong Li and Gu Ci were both startled. Rong Li wanted to go over, but due to his injury, he felt dizzy when he tried to get up.

Gu Ci rushed over with water and bread, avoiding touching Ji Chi. “Ji Chi, Ji Chi…wake up, can you hear me?”

Ji Chi couldn’t hear anything Gu Ci was saying. Beads of sweat as big as beans dripped from his forehead, quickly soaking his shirt. Gu Ci held his hand. “Ji Chi…”

“Don’t touch me!” Ji Chi shouted, pushing Gu Ci away.

Qin Wan was busy eating bread and didn’t pay much attention to why Ji Chi was acting this way. When she saw Ji Chi push Gu Ci, she frowned. “You’re all in the same boat; don’t go crazy.”

Gu Ci was pushed to the ground, and she shook her head at Qin Wan. Rong Li crawled over and roughly grabbed Ji Chi by the hair, smashing his head against the wall. It made him bleed, and Rong Li yelled, “Wake up!”

Both Gu Ci and Qin Wan were stunned. Qin Wan bit into her bread, paused for a few seconds, and suddenly felt that Rong Li’s previous actions towards her were quite gentle in comparison.

This… Are you sure they’re brothers?

Ji Chi’s forehead had struck the wall and instantly broke open, with blood flowing into his eyes. The pain brought him back from a brief moment of deafness, as if he had remembered something terrifying. He curled up rapidly, his breathing becoming rapid and shallow, his chest rising and falling rapidly. He distanced himself from Rong Li and Gu Ci, saying, “Don’t come closer!” “Chi, you’re twenty-seven, not seven!” Rong Li felt sorry for him but spoke roughly, “Don’t be afraid.”

The blood continued to drip into his eyes, running down his cheeks as Ji Chi touched his face, his gaze suddenly turning fierce and menacing, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, like an uncontrollable beast.

Seeing this, Gu Ci, following Rong Li’s rough approach, delivered a strike to the back of Ji Chi’s neck, causing him to faint.

After Ji Chi fainted, Gu Ci caught him, and Rong Li sighed in relief. He quickly wiped away the blood from Ji Chi’s forehead. Fortunately, the wound wasn’t too deep, but Rong Li still felt regretful.

In the midst of the chaos, only Qin Wan had finished eating her bread and drinking her water. She was getting hungrier, as her good physical condition and regular eating habits left her unsatisfied with just one piece of bread.

This was the first time Gu Ci had seen Ji Chi lose control like this. How could he, who could calmly imprison his own brother, become so uncontrollable?

“Is he… alright?” Gu Ci was deeply worried. Ji Chi was lying on his lap, and even in his unconscious state, something seemed off. Gu Ci looked down at him, thinking about Ji Chi’s usually harmless and smiling demeanor, and it was hard for him to see him like this.

“How could he be alright?” Rong Li whispered, “This place is his inner demon.”

This was Ji Chi’s minefield, one step and it would explode. Moreover, this was the second time he had been locked up in a place like this. The last time he was imprisoned in the Pentagon, he spent a full eight years there!

Gu Ci, wiping away the blood from Ji Chi’s constantly bleeding forehead, couldn’t help but complain, “Be gentler next time. Hitting him like that can give him a concussion.”

“I know!” Rong Li also acted in haste. He didn’t want Ji Chi to be trapped in endless darkness; he just wanted to wake him up as quickly as possible.

Qin Wan looked at the three lonely pieces of bread on the ground, her stomach growling. “Aren’t you guys hungry?”

If they weren’t hungry, she wouldn’t mind eating four pieces of bread.

She was really hungry!
