My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 777: Wanting to Commit Suicide?_1

Jacob sighed, "I hope you’ll find her truly worthy in the future. Rest now, you have to meet the Godfather tomorrow."

"No." Third Young Master Jun closed his weary eyes and when he opened them again, they were cool and sharp, "I’m going tonight."

"Are you crazy? You are seriously injured and still bleeding. Why are you in such a rush to see the Godfather?"

"I need to get back early. My woman and child are still under threat from others. Once I’ve received my assignment tonight, I’m going back."

He surely did not believe that his father was kind-hearted enough to let Ye Lu return to the Jun Family and receive good care.

Jun Shi hated him so much that he was always trying to get rid of him. Now that he couldn’t touch him, his heartless father might turn his attention to Ye Lu and the child.

He wants to go back to protect them. He won’t let anyone hurt those he wants to protect again.

Being injured makes him long for a place called home, where he can be cared for by those who care about him. This sense of being home probably reflects a person’s attachment to his family.

However, there’s one more reason why he can’t stay.

He’s afraid of exposing his secret.

"You’re truly mad. With your injuries, you need to lay here for at least three days before you can fly. The turbulence and fatigue... are you trying to kill yourself?"

Third Young Master Jun lifted his head in arrogance, "Jun Huang doesn’t die that easily. Don’t worry, if others couldn’t kill me, how can I bear to kill myself?"

"I despise those who don’t take good care of themselves. Such a waste of my medicine." Jacob grumbled, but still bandaged him up, then his expression turned serious, "With this incident, even though you’re one of the most valued successors of the Godfather, he won’t let you off the hook. As you are highly regarded, the Godfather will be stricter with you. These two six-star assignments... they might prove to be very challenging."

"I choose to combine them into a seven-star task."

Jacob stared at him dumbfounded, "Aren’t you insane enough? The six-star task is already very challenging. The seven-star task surpasses the six-star in difficulty, requiring one to risk his life in a ’nine deaths, one life’ situation."

"The time period required to complete two six-star tasks is too long. I don’t have that much time. It’s better to solve them at once. Furthermore, my authority is only at six-stars. I’m not content to stand still. It’s time to challenge the seven-star task."

Third Young Master Jun’s eyes gleamed with a powerful shine, his tone filled with the sharp edge of a king’s blade.

"When I break through the seven-star task, I’ll also gain the basic rights to use the seven-stars, closer to the core... I’m only one step away - Gone with the Bullets!"

He never wanted to bow to anyone, but the power the Godfather accumulated over the decades is not something he could overthrow overnight.

So, he wants to get closer step by step, and then...

His eyes radiated a proud light, suggesting an ambitious ruler in a chaotic world.

...

At dinner time, Gu Yan did not appear. According to the Old Madam, he went back to the Gu Family. After all, he had another family and needed to go back to explain things to Mrs. Gu.

Ye Lu raised an eyebrow, "Did he go back to the Gu Family, or was he found out? Is he avoiding me or plotting something behind my back?"

No matter what, she did not wish to see him.

"Lu’er, I hope you and Jun Huang can make up. I hope even more that you and Gu Yan can resolve your grudges. After all, they are brothers. No matter how large the grudge is, can it overcome familial bonds? Only if you three let go of your grievances will this family find peace. I don’t want to see the brothers hurting each other. So, you should persuade Jun Huang."

"Persuade Jun Huang?" Ye Lu asked with a smirk.

"Yes, though Gu Yan might be a bit cold and introverted, it’s clear that he has no ill intent and he does want to reconcile with Jun Huang."
