Chapter 188

Lei is under a lot of pressure right now.

Being simply suspected or spread rumors about is completely different from actually knowing that he is an FBI agent.

Although Usui Saiki had been claiming that Ray was an FBI agent, Ray had analyzed that as soon as Ray tried to frame Miyano Akemi, Usui Saiki came over and labeled him an FBI agent, so he didn't have time to investigate Ray. Therefore, it was probably just nonsense. Later, Ray also felt that it might really be targeting Gin, so he was just targeting Ray as well, simply continuing the story from the beginning.

In addition, Usoppei Saiki identified undercover spies all over the organization as if it were a joke, so although he felt that there was something hidden in the other party's words a few times, after careful analysis, he thought it might just be a coincidence, that he had a secret, and that he was overthinking it.

But ever since he went on a mission last year and met his sister Sera Masumi, and after Usui Saiki's behavior became quite intriguing, Rai realized that things were not quite as he had imagined.

Now that even the mysterious Pramia has been identified by Usakabe Saiki... what about him?

Looking back on Bo Yezaki's previous ramblings, they now seem to have taken on a deeper meaning—perhaps I made a serious mistake by interpreting those deeper meanings as mere illusions, even though I had already realized them.

However, if Usakabe Saiki really did discover that he was an FBI agent, but was too lazy to talk about it because he wasn't loyal enough to the organization, or was simply acting on a whim... then does that mean there is room for negotiation?

Ray realized with a headache that once he started analyzing Usakabe Saiki's thoughts, it was as if he had fallen into an abyss, and he always felt that the future was bleak.

Vodka didn't mind Lei's silence, after all, he knew all too well the feeling of not wanting to speak in front of Boehme Saiki, for fear of saying the wrong thing and causing serious consequences, so he continued: "In short, Potts' work is over..."

Shouldn't you be leaving?! Are you really going to stay the night?! Look at Ray's face, don't you find him annoying and want to leave?!

Usaku Saiki originally wanted to leave, but now he's a little reluctant to go.

Because Rye's suspicion level skyrocketed, much higher than before, it shows that although he kept saying he was an FBI agent, Rye didn't really believe he had exposed anything... You could call it the confidence of an elite.

Then Bo Ye Saiki added fuel to the fire: "I do want to leave, but does Lei have something to ask me?"

As he spoke, he looked at Lei with a half-smile.

Lei was on edge.

This could be a trap... but it could also be an opportunity.

If he doesn't respond this time, given Potts' personality, he might get bored and then do something he doesn't want to see in order to make things more interesting...

Ray rationally analyzed the pros and cons and quickly concluded: "I do have something I want to ask you."

Vodka sensed the strange atmosphere, looked left and right, and felt a headache coming on, as if his brain was about to grow: "What...what do you want to talk about? Can I listen?"

"Well," Ray said casually, "it's probably asking why people always say I'm like an FBI undercover agent, and whether we can find someone else or something."

Volt's rapidly growing brain retracted, his wariness vanished instantly, and he became completely calm: "Oh, then you two talk."

Haha, Lai is really naive. He actually dared to talk about undercover work with that kid Bo Yezaki. It would be a miracle if he got a satisfactory result.

The boss will probably receive another report tonight, saying that Lai is an undercover agent.

Usoppai and Lai went out and took the elevator to the deserted rooftop.

"Alright, what do you want to ask?" Bo Yezhai really didn't plan to stay here overnight. He would go back to sleep after he had cleared up the suspicion points, so he had to finish this quickly.

These undercover agents speak in roundabout ways, which can be quite annoying at times.

System: [...When you're the one doing the riddles, don't you worry about others finding you annoying?]

"[How can that be the same? I was just trying to raise suspicion points!]" Usui Saiki retorted. "But Akai Shuichi, that guy, his mother doesn't know her son is alive, his sister doesn't know his brother is alive, his brother doesn't tell his mother or sister either, and he himself doesn't know his mother took the organization's drug and shrunk... It's all because of their way of speaking!"

However, this time Rye was quite straightforward, not beating around the bush, and asked directly: "Why do you suspect me of being an FBI agent? Can you give me a reason?"

If it were anyone else who suspected him, Lai certainly wouldn't be so direct, but facing Usakata Saiki, who claims he's an undercover agent every day, this topic is no longer taboo, and he can ask whatever he wants.

Bo Yezai raised an eyebrow: "Is that all you wanted to ask me?"

Lei: "Is there something else? You can't possibly expect me to ask you for a commission, can you?"

He didn't have a deep relationship with Bo Yezaki. Their conversations mainly revolved around Bo Yezaki ripping him off for the agency fee and constantly accusing him of being an undercover agent... Aside from those two things, he really didn't think he had anything else to ask.

In particular, the question of whether the other party actually knew he was an FBI agent involves many issues.

“Hmm—I think you should probably ask another question,” Bo Yezai said meaningfully, “otherwise you might regret it for the rest of your life.”

Lei frowned.

He couldn't think of anything that he might regret for the rest of his life... Even if the other party really found out that he was an FBI undercover agent, it wouldn't come to this extent.

The fact that he hasn't told the organization yet suggests that Bo Yezaki doesn't want him to die; he might be trying to use him for something.

However, this is the record of Bo Ye Zhai.

He seemed crazy, but in retrospect, it wasn't entirely nonsense... There's still a lot to think about what he said.

"...What is the other problem?"

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'm willing to answer one of your questions."

When I first met the silver-haired, green-eyed young man, Billy, he seemed to have grown taller, and his aura had also changed somewhat.

He stood opposite Lai with a smile, completely relaxed, but that calmness alone was enough to exert an equal amount of intimidation. Even though he was dressed in flashy clothes, Lai still felt a sense of vigilance from the bottom of his heart, daring not to underestimate him.

"One is the question you just asked, and the other is a question you'll regret for the rest of your life if you don't ask it now. Which one do you choose?"

Lei sighed.

This attitude clearly wants him to ask the question he himself doesn't even know what to ask, right? Why pretend to offer a choice?

Given Usakabe Saiki's difficult personality, even if he chooses the first option, Usakabe Saiki probably won't give a proper answer.

However, although I don't know what happened, the other person seems to be in a really good mood today. If we miss today, there may not be another chance.

Since that's the case...

"...Then, what is it that I'll regret for the rest of my life if I don't ask now?" Lei crossed his arms, seemingly unconcerned about being suspected of being an undercover agent by Bo Yezaki because he was innocent, and easily changed the subject, "What if I don't actually care about this question?"

"Impossible, you definitely care a lot."

Usaku Saiki said, "Miyano Akemi is your cousin."

Lei: "………………"

—Again, this time?!

At that moment, Lei felt like a fool when he got serious.

When he was still in the hospital, the first thing Usaku Saiki did when he came over was to question whether he and Miyano Akemi were related and whether the two of them were playing a honey trap to fleece the organization.

But later, perhaps finding it more interesting to question whether he was an undercover agent, Usakabe Saiki stopped bringing it up.

Unexpectedly, on this day, when he wanted to have a serious talk with someone and even thought that Usaku Saiki would respond seriously, Usaku Saiki gave him such an inappropriate joke.

Does this guy, Usakabe Saiki, even have any concept of respecting others?!

Lei's face darkened immediately, and he sneered, "You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't know about this?"

"Yes, even if you don't regret it, your family will. These are your relatives!" Bo Yezhaiji put on a painstakingly earnest tone. "I told you this years ago, and you still haven't taken it to heart. How can you be so cold-hearted, ruthless, and unreasonable?"

Lei: "..."

Who's being unreasonable here?! You just randomly assign someone a relationship, and you expect me to take it seriously?! Why don't you go tell the President of the United States that I'm his father?!

"If you're only going to answer this one question today, then I'm leaving." Lei was a little tired and didn't want to argue with Bo Yezaki.

Regardless, Usoppei Saiki's attitude at least shows that even if he really has evidence that he is an undercover agent, he won't say anything for the time being; more likely, he'll use it to tease him...

Don't you believe me?

Bo Yezaki's smiling voice rang out behind him: "Isn't it something that can be confirmed with a DNA test? You're not even willing to check it?"

Lei: "…………"

He stopped, slowly turned his head, and looked at Bo Yezhaiji seriously.

"You want me and Ms. Miyano to do DNA testing?"

"I didn't force you, it's just that no one has believed me, and it's really upsetting." Bo Yezhai Ji Xizi clutched her heart. "You should confirm it quickly so you can tell everyone in the organization. I'm really good at judging people; the moment I saw the two of you, I knew you were related!"

Lei: "…………"

Is this to prove your judgment of people, so that the organization will actually start to suspect I'm an FBI undercover agent?!

You actually want me to help prove something like this? Are you out of your mind?!

Although he was full of complaints, he had to admit that Bo Yezaki's attitude made Lai, who was already somewhat speechless, become serious again.

...Indeed, it's just a DNA test. It's either yes or no. Even if it's another unfunny joke by Usaku Saiki, it can at least be used as evidence to slap Usaku Saiki in the face. It's not a loss for him.

The only thing to be careful about is avoiding hospitals and testing sites under the organization's influence, lest Usui Saiki alter his and Miyano Akemi's DNA reports to prove his judgment.

In short, doing one test, regardless of whether it's true or false, is a one-time solution to prevent Bo Yezhai from using it on him from time to time in the future.

“I understand.” Lei nodded, still full of doubt. “I’ll get tested.”

“That’s fine.” Bo Yezai walked briskly. “Tell Vodka for me, I’ll be going now.”

Lei did not refuse.

Actually, there was no need for that reminder. Vodka, noticing that Botswana hadn't returned to the safe house with Rae, simply asked, "Where's Botswana?"

"They're gone."

“…Thank you for your hard work.” Vodka patted his shoulder sympathetically, then asked curiously, “So, what did you find out? Why does he think you're an undercover agent? Can you really give a reason?”

Ray: "...He said, 'You'll know at a glance.'"

Vodka: "…………"

"Is he really that good at judging people? I find him very unreliable, and you guys actually let him be an HR person..."

Vodka coughed: "Well, he's really good at judging people's abilities, but... he came back from the Middle East! Maybe there are problems there, which makes his concept of undercover agents a bit strange!"

Lei: "..."

So why are all the people in the organization so good at making excuses for Usakabe Saiki...?

Leie brushed off Vodka's usual talk about being an undercover agent, without mentioning that Saiki Usopp had asked him to do a DNA test with Akemi Miyano.

If it's fake, we can talk about it; if it's real...

He recalled the silver-haired youth standing in the center of a full moon in the night, his expression a half-smile, as if he were certain that "if you don't believe it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

Ray couldn't help but have doubts.

Is it possible that Bo Yezaki often tells the truth, but no one believes him?

--------------------

Vodka: My head is so itchy, I need to use my brain... Oh, you want to talk about undercover work? Never mind then.

Ray: Let me prove he's a good judge of character, so that everyone will really suspect I'm an undercover agent... How can you say something like that!

.

Shu Akai never knew that Akemi Miyano was her relative until he left the organization... I just don't understand this family.

Anyway, once his mother finds out what Shuichi Akai has done, she'll definitely beat him up.
