Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The most sensational incident was when HY Jewelry sponsored the costume design of a historical drama. All the jewelry featured in the show was designed and crafted by HY Jewelry. The phoenix crown alone was worth millions. This drama first gained attention for its exquisite jewelry and later for its captivating storyline. It became a nationwide sensation, catapulting HY Jewelry to fame and swiftly conquering the domestic high-end market.

It’s unclear whether this was due to Ji Chi’s excellent judgment or simply good luck.

Zhou Jinjin also played a supporting role in this drama and gained popularity. She is now the female lead in a production by S+. Therefore, it’s safe to say that Ji Chi excels in investment, marketing, and operations.

In recent years, Heiying has diversified into finance, jewelry, film and television, and real estate, with half of its assets transferred to the domestic market. The most profitable sector remains technology, which is shrouded in mystery. Recently, there have been attempts to collaborate with military enterprises, but they have faced numerous obstacles.

Below the Global Center.

Gu Ziyu and Lu Zhiyuan are jogging together. Lu Zhiyuan retired a year ago, and after a year of recuperation, he resumed competing for three more years. It has been a perilous journey, as many people wanted to sabotage him on the racetrack. It’s the most vulnerable and easiest time to strike. Every race, Li Jiang and Ji Chi felt like they had experienced death. They were always on high alert and thwarted many assassination attempts. The racing schedule is too demanding, and there are moments of misjudgment. Three years ago, there was a serious accident, but luckily, Lu Zhiyuan escaped unharmed. For the safety of other racers, Lu Zhiyuan had no choice but to announce his retirement.

Even now, in every official competition he participated in, the worst result was a silver medal, but most of the time, it was a gold one. He was undoubtedly the king of racing, even in retirement, leaving a legacy that no one could match.

Others could only admire from a distance, chasing after him for their entire lives.

Gu Ziyu belongs to the information warfare branch, involved in technical research. He doesn’t need to be on the front lines, and even when he is, his role is primarily technical. There are specialists to protect him. Therefore, Chen Liangdong doesn’t require him to undergo solo combat training. However, Gu Ziyu holds himself to strict standards. He exercises with Lu Zhiyuan on weekends, occasionally practices boxing, and follows Chen Fei’s training regimen during his free time. When Chen Fei goes on missions, Gu Ziyu participates in group training and undergoes systematic training.

The two of them sparred on the track for half an hour, working up a sweat. Gu Ziyu and Lu Zhiyuan had a match, and even with one hand tied behind his back, Gu Ziyu couldn’t win. He was left panting for breath.

The third and fourth floors housed an indoor racing training center. During their break, Gu Ziyu noticed that Lu Zhiyuan frequently looked up at the upper floors. There were racing car models displayed on the outdoor platform.

“Dad, do you regret retiring?”

“Not really. If I didn’t retire, there would be frequent accidents on the racetrack, and other racers’ lives would be at risk.” Lu Zhiyuan didn’t want to jeopardize their careers.

Whenever Gu Ziyu and Gu Ci could, they would ask Li Jiang for tickets to watch his races live in China. If he was competing abroad, they would watch the broadcast on television.

The last time there was an accident, the car rolled three times on the racetrack. Luckily, Lu Zhiyuan only suffered minor injuries, but Gu Ci was too worried to get close. She was deeply concerned about his pain.

For the sake of everyone’s safety, Lu Zhiyuan gave up his beloved racing career. “You’re doing the right thing!” Gu Ziyu gave a thumbs-up. In truth, when he was racing, Li Jiang, Ji Chi, and Rong Li were always worried, fearing he might have an accident. They were afraid that Black Hawk would stir up trouble again. Ji Chi tried to persuade Gu Ci, but she remained indifferent. She turned to Gu Ziyu, who also couldn’t change her mind. As a result, Lu Zhiyuan’s career was extended by four more years.

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and ruffled Gu Ziyu’s hair. “You came to the Global Center today for a reason. What did you want to talk to me about? Take advantage of my good mood, and I’ll give you a chance.”

“Look at you! Can’t I just miss you?”

“You missed your chance…”

“Don’t…” Gu Ziyu raised his hand. “We’re currently working on a drug trafficking case, and we’re approaching the final phase. The situation is a bit complicated, and after some in-depth investigation, I found that one of our informants used to work at Black Hawk and used seafood as a cover to smuggle goods into the country. When we dug into this line, we uncovered a lot of secrets.”

Gu Ziyu pulled up the list and sent it to Lu Zhiyuan. “Do you want to handle this, or should we?”

Lu Zhiyuan had also received the news that afternoon.

“Does Chen Liangdong know about this?”

“I’ve already reported it,” Gu Ziyu said. “This person has resigned, and theoretically, he has no direct connection to Black Hawk. However, this shipping line is still involved, so I’d like you to handle it. Can you provide us with a prompt response? It would help us maintain good relations.”

“Do you really trust me this much?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Gu Ziyu raised an eyebrow and said half-jokingly, “Black Hawk has moved all its operations to Asia, paying substantial taxes every year. We rely on taxpayers to make a living, so we can’t afford to offend them.”

Lu Zhiyuan chuckled and said, “1 received the message today, and I’ve already asked Rong Li to take care of it. I’ll get you the information after it’s organized in a few days.”

“Thank you for that!”

After a brief pause, Lu Zhiyuan asked, “As a return favor, can you tell me where Tang Mingzhou is being held?”

Gu Ziyu feigned a puzzled expression, “Who is Tang Mingzhou?”

“You don’t know?”

“Should 1 know?”

They exchanged a few moves in their Tai Chi session, and Lu Zhiyuan smiled, “Never mind.”

“So, who is Tang Mingzhou?” Gu Ziyu wondered silently. How did his dad know about Tang Mingzhou? Tang Mingzhou had been secretly moved three years ago. He provided intelligence, and Jiang Junlin applied for immunity for him, granting him freedom. He was then sent out of the country and lived under a new identity. Theoretically, no one should be able to trace any information about Tang Mingzhou.

This was a person who had been dead for many years!

“The previous owner of Black Hawk,” Lu Zhiyuan said lightly, “He should have been dead for many years. His name resurfaced five years ago, and I recently received some intelligence suggesting that he’s still alive and being held by your National Security.”

“If you want to know, I can check the prison detainee list when I get back.”

“No need. This is your top-secret information; you don’t have to reveal it to me.”

Gu Ziyu didn’t press further, secretly relieved. Tang Mingzhou’s situation was mainly his uncle’s doing, and he couldn’t make decisions about it. Changing the topic, Gu Ziyu asked, “Dad, aren’t you jealous of Mom’s dates with Zhou Li? You don’t feel jealous at all?”

Lu Zhiyuan fell silent for a moment. He knew Zhou Li and had no romantic involvement with her. She was devoted to her music, and her only rumored girlfriend was Gu Ci. A few years ago, there were photos of him and Gu Ci having dinner together.

In recent years, his popularity and fanbase had been steadily rising, and his romantic life had attracted considerable attention. He had protected Gu Ci well, and she shared his interests. She composed music for every one of his albums. Without him, Gu Ci and Zhou Li would probably be a perfect match.

“We broke up five years ago.”

Gu Ziyu clicked his tongue. “Then why do you accept the photos and videos of Mom every day? Aren’t you bothered by it?”

Lu Zhiyuan was momentarily at a loss for words. Gu Ziyu shook his head.. “Adults are so troublesome!”
