Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Ji Hanyu, Stop Wasting Your Efforts

In the evening, Ji Hanyu again had someone prepare premium medium-rare steak and red wine for Number Three.

This time, only Ji Hanyu went inside.

Li Mingmo and Bai Haoxue were both left outside by Ji Hanyu.

Whenever Li Mingmo met Number Three, Number Three could provoke him to anger within three sentences.

Bai Haoxue, on the other hand, would get emotional and impulsive whenever the topic of children came up.

Ji Hanyu remained lounging on the sofa, with a glass of red wine also on the table in front of him.

Ji Hanyu swirled the red wine in his glass, "Tonight’s steak was specially cooked for you by Chef Steve, who is best at making medium-rare steak. Are you satisfied?"

Number Three said while eating, "Compared to Li Mingmo, I still prefer dealing with you."

Outside, Li Mingmo grumbled, isn’t it just about the money?

But he just doesn’t have the money!

Damn capitalism.

Ji Hanyu said, "Really? Since you’re so pleased, let’s have a chat then."

Number Three looked up at Ji Hanyu, his expression seemed to say, are you kidding me?

Ji Hanyu said, "I won’t underestimate your intelligence, nor have I ever underestimated your abilities.

So, there’s no need to be so guarded against me. I’ll ask you questions directly and won’t use roundabout tactics. Besides, would you even let me trick you?"

Number Three continued cutting his steak, "Alright, what do you want to talk about?"

Ji Hanyu: "Let’s talk about the time at the base, consider it a matter of old, irrelevant past.

Back then, you planned to escape the base with us. At that time, I believed you were sincere, and you did your best to help me and Li Mingmo.

I’m curious, why did you betray us at the last moment?

Before that, you weren’t on their side, you hated them too, didn’t you?"

"Why betray you?" Number Three looked at Ji Hanyu and suddenly laughed, almost choking, "Someone like me, does it need a reason to betray someone?"

Ji Hanyu: "I believe you have your reasons. Since you don’t want to say, then forget it, let’s change the topic.

Four years ago, on the ship, you shot Bai Xiang on a whim, just to make my wife misunderstand me, personally shooting me, making my life a living hell.

If I remember correctly, we didn’t have such a significant enmity, right?"

Ji Hanyu said, "So, can I make a melodramatic guess, that at the base, you suddenly betrayed me and Li Mingmo at the last moment.

Was it because someone told you something?

And the content of that might have been related to you and me.

Going further, do we have a vendetta, or is there an old grievance from the previous generation?"

"Hahaha..." Number Three suddenly burst out laughing, "Ji Hanyu, they say you’re not one to talk much, but you’re indeed the best at conversation!

Two seemingly unrelated topics, yet you’re tracing them back to the root.

What, are you planning to take a roundabout route now?

You’ve always been the most direct, your change is both surprising and delightful!"

Not directly asking the question he most wanted to ask.

Indeed talking about some irrelevant past matters.

But tracing back to the beginning.

Knowing why he betrayed them?

Once he knows, wouldn’t he have an opening?

And why did he... why did he betray them?

Number Three looked at Ji Hanyu and then shook his head, "Ji Hanyu, don’t waste your efforts. You’re right, I don’t have such a deep hatred for you, I don’t even know who my parents are, how could I possibly have a grudge against you?"
