Chapter 569

After discussing it with Rei Furuya and Kagemitsu Morofushi, and then talking to their superiors, they finally decided to stay and continue working for Saiki Usaba.

After all, the list that Bo Yezaki presented was only a part of the list. If he continued to delve deeper, he might be able to gain some more benefits. More people mean more help, and his superior also told him to see if there were any suitable talents to recruit.

After they finished discussing their plan, they returned to the door of the room they had just left, and just then they saw Shuichi Akai also returning.

They exchanged glances and realized that Shuichi Akai had also come back to reapply for the job.

If someone discovers a benefit during their work and the FBI finds out, are they supposed to share it with the FBI?

Rei Furuya felt a sense of urgency and quickly knocked on the door to go in, only to find that Vermouth was sitting in the spot where Saiki Usaba had been sitting.

"You're here." Usoppei Saiki was eating potato chips nearby. "Are you here to give me an answer?"

Jianggu Ling: "...Hmm."

He suspected that Vermouth did more work than Usoppō Saiki.

“Alright.” Bo Ye Zaiji clapped his hands. “Then the three of you will listen to Vermouth from now on. You can discuss and decide how she assigns tasks to you.”

As for how they profited for their own people during this time, he couldn't be bothered to care. After all, they were portrayed as positive characters in the original work, so they still had some moral bottom line.

This is also a reward for these people who have contributed so many points to him over the years.

Ultimately, Usoppō Saiki was just too lazy to work—this lousy organization didn't offer him anything worth his effort.

When it's time to meet with the capitalists and sign contracts, he can give them a psychological pep talk and then he can practically become a hands-off manager.

Shuichi Akai then asked, "And what about you?"

"Me? I'm in charge of getting the Boss to sign off." Bo Yezhaiji said shamelessly, "That's a technical job too."

The Whiskey Trio: "…………"

So you didn't even sign it yourself?! You're really distancing yourself from the organization!

Well, it's normal for someone like Usaku Saiki to be like this...

It seemed that he had finally found a useful employee and could get away. Usoppei didn't even eat his snacks in the office anymore and left the room directly, telling Vermouth to contact him by phone if she needed anything.

After watching Saiki Usaba leave, Vermouth suddenly turned to Rei Furuya and asked, "Are you really a Japanese Public Security agent?"

There's no point in pretending now, so Rei Furuya honestly said, "...Yeah."

Vermouth gasped: "So, when Potts was in charge of interviews for the first time, he interviewed three undercover agents? No wonder he wrote in his report that he didn't recommend hiring you... In some ways, he was quite sincere."

The Whiskey Trio: "…………"

We've removed our filters, but yours seem even thicker!

Rei Furuya couldn't help but change the subject: "Vermouth, how long did he work before?"

Vermouth thought for a moment: "Including the time spent eating with those representatives, it's about an hour a day on average."

Rei Furuya: "...You can finish talking in an hour?"

This kind of dinner arrangement isn't really about eating; it's mainly about discussing business. Less than an hour is far too short. What could they possibly talk about?

“It only takes half an hour to finish eating,” Vermouth said. “If Potts doesn’t want to talk anymore, he’ll just stand up and leave.”

Morofushi Kagemitsu had never seen business discussed like this before, and asked tactfully, "Won't the other side have any objections?"

Vermouth remained calm: "It's okay. I'll say that he sometimes just suddenly doesn't want to talk, and everyone understands. We'll talk again when he's willing to talk."

The Whiskey Trio: "…………"

That's such a flimsy excuse... They probably just think Potts is mentally ill and can't be forced!

Vermouth didn't see anything wrong with it. Right now, those people are begging Botnes, and if you're too nice, they'll suspect something's up.

After Potts gave everyone a few cold looks, everyone's attitude visibly became more enthusiastic.

With this tone set by Usoppei Kisetsu, and after Vermouth gave some further guidance, the group understood how to get to work.

For the next month, they all buried themselves in their work, cleaning up the mess left by the organization, and trying to find something useful for their own people.

Bo Yezhai occasionally steps in to handle things that others can't do, such as taking everyone to see real-life success stories of bosses, and incidentally showing off how obedient the bosses are to him.

As for most of the other time, he was actually resting, and even switched to the pseudonym Han Chuan Shen Liu to have dinner with his friends.

"It was really difficult to get you to come out."

Kenji Hagiwara complained, "You disappeared after sending an email last time. Jinpei and I were worried every day that you'd been arrested."

"I haven't done anything wrong," said Hanchuan Shenliu confidently. "Even if they arrest the Prime Minister, they won't arrest me."

Hagihara Kenji: "…………"

Matsuda Jinpei's lips twitched: "Tell me how you became the second-in-command."

He's become the second-in-command of an illegal organization, yet he claims he hasn't done anything wrong... They really want to believe Han Chuan Shenliu, but there has to be some reason, right?

Because they were going to discuss such a sensitive topic, they didn't even go out to eat. Instead, they bought some ready-made food and had a meal together at Kenji Hagiwara's apartment, so that Shinryu Kagawa wouldn't have an excuse to postpone it until next time.

After all, they were well-versed in Hanakawa Shinryu's rhetoric and his skill in changing the subject was unparalleled; even elite detectives like Hagiwara Kenji were sometimes led astray.

Han Chuan Shenliu thought for a moment: "When I met with the organization's elders, I pointed out some crises around them, such as someone planning to assassinate them, or there being traps set against them... In short, most of the elders were not very satisfied with the Boss and supported me more."

Matsuda Jinpei: "A coup d'état???"

Kenji Hagiwara was stunned: "This works?"

Are illegal organizations really this frivolous? But then again, this is a life-saving favor, and considering the deterrent and allure that Hanchuan Shenliu has for criminals... it doesn't seem so outrageous after all...

Unexpectedly, Hanchuan Shenliu actually used the police's crime-solving methods to coerce an illegal organization into a promotion, and it worked quite well. It turns out that where you are doesn't matter; skills and brains are the most important.

Okay, now that we know how Shinryu Hanakawa became the heir, it's time to move on to the next topic.

Kenji Hagiwara asked, "Now that you've become the successor, what are your plans? Will the Boss do anything to you because you have too many supporters?"

Han Chuan Shenliu shook his head: "Don't worry, no one can do anything to me. As for my plans... I have fully considered my father's wishes."

The Suspicion System, upon hearing this, exclaimed: "Huh? No, you haven't even contacted Alex, so how can you say you're fully considering his wishes? He's an undercover agent for the Japanese Public Security Bureau, after all. I don't think you're that good to them either..."

Selling a substitute doll now makes me suspicious of the system's assertiveness.

The undercover system gently reminded them: "That was your entire life; it might have been an act."

Usakabe Saiki: [Not really, in his past life he was an undercover agent sent by the Japanese Public Security Bureau to my house.]

Suspicion System: [Huh??? What's going on with you guys?! What's your family background that you need the Japanese Public Security Bureau to infiltrate?!]

Usoppō did not answer the questions about the skeptical value system.

Knowing that Hanakawa Shinryu hadn't killed anyone after taking over, Matsuda Jinpei relaxed a lot. He was already eating fried chicken, and after swallowing a bite, he asked, "I remember your father was a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, right? Are you planning to cooperate with the Japanese Public Security Bureau?"

Although it seems that Kankawa Shinryu has always looked down on the Japanese Public Security Bureau, he has said that he has fully considered his father's wishes, so he should be planning to put aside past grievances, right?

Han Chuan Shenliu denied it: "No, I was considering other things. During my undercover work, my father was sent by the organization to the Middle East to oversee smuggling..."

"Cough cough cough...!!!" Matsuda Jinpei almost choked on a mouthful of fried chicken.

Kenji Hagiwara also took a deep breath silently.

Although Hanchuan Shenliu kept saying that this organization was very large, so it was inconvenient to tell them too much, I didn't expect that it had already reached the point of opening a separate smuggling route in the Middle East... This is simply a transnational illegal organization!

Matsuda Jinpei finally caught his breath, and seeing Samikawa Shinryu's feigned serious expression and teasing eyes, his face darkened: "You did that on purpose, didn't you!"

He was about to swallow when he made such provocative remarks!

Kenji Hagiwara quickly steered the conversation back on track, afraid that Shinryu Hatsukawa would take the opportunity to change the subject: "Okay, the Middle East line, and then what? What does this have to do with your father's wishes?"

"Then, while smuggling in the Middle East, my father took advantage of the organization to build a lot of hospitals and other facilities for the Middle East... I forgot to mention, he has always liked the Soviet Union, which he probably learned from the Soviet Union."

Hanchuan Shenliu stroked his chin thoughtfully: "So after some consideration, I felt that he must really want the world to become a better place, not just for Japanese capitalists to be better off. So I decided to share some of the organization's research results and patents."

The doubt value system was speechless.

So that's what "taking his wishes into account" meant! Usaku Saiki is really good at making things up!

Although Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda are Japanese police officers, they are not narrow-minded and are quite upright. Upon hearing "Japanese capitalists," they understand that if these achievements are handed over to the Japanese Public Security Bureau, ordinary people will certainly not benefit much. Therefore, they have no objection to Shinryu Samakawa's actions.

But what kind of illegal organization are you? How do you even have research results and patents...?

Faced with their questions, Han Chuan Shenliu checked the time: "It's about time. Let's turn on the TV and watch the news."

Kenji Hagiwara turned on the TV with a puzzled look.

"...Several of the world's leading biopharmaceutical companies have decided to jointly establish a research institution to collaborate on new projects, and negotiations are currently underway..."

Kenji Hagiwara: "Huh?"

Matsuda Jinpei: "Wait! You don't mean the research institution mentioned in this news..."

Hanchuan Shenliu casually gestured towards the screen.

"Yes, that's my solution."

Kenji Hagiwara & Jinpei Matsuda: "...?!?!?!?!"

Weren't we still discussing illegal organizations? How did it turn into a collaboration between several major pharmaceutical companies?!

What exactly happened in between? How did Hanchuan Shenliu manage to do that?!
