"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"

The banquet waitress, Aoi Hoshino, who had separated from Toru Amuro and Kagemitsu Morobushi at the door, finally retracted her gaze after hearing his words, but there was a hint of inquiry in her eyes when she looked at Toru Amuro.

"Why? Are you interested in that boy?"

"...Don't make me sound like a pervert."

Being interested in a little boy...

Amuro Toru curled his lips.

If other people heard this, his reputation would be ruined.

"All right."

Hoshino Aoi shrugged.

"I thought you would be curious about why Schindler cared so much about a little boy. Since you don't want to know, forget it."

Hoshino Aoi's words obviously hit the nail on the head for Amuro Toru.

He was indeed somewhat curious as to why Thomas Schindler valued the boy so much.

Not to mention that they are not biological father and son. For someone like Thomas Schindler, even if they are biological father and son, if the other party is of no use to him, he probably won't take the other party seriously.

So if we analyze it from this perspective, the boy should be of great use to him and the Schindler Company under his name.

It is for this reason that he would do things that restrict the other person's freedom under the banner of protection.

However, on the surface, he just exchanged glances with Zhu Fu Jingguang, then pretended to be indifferent and said nonchalantly:

"Oh? Really? But that boy looks like an ordinary little boy, and information technology... doesn't seem to be within the organization's scope of development, right?"

Although the information he currently has access to is limited, Toru Amuro has more or less found out some things.

For example, the organization's main research direction is in medicine and other fields, while information technology and other aspects do not seem to be within the scope of the Black Organization's attention.

Of course, the fact that the Black Organization does not attach importance to this aspect does not mean that the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency also do not attach importance to the development of this aspect.

If that boy really was a genius in this area, so talented that even Thomas Schindler, a giant in information technology, would bow down for him...

Amuro Toru hid the expression in his eyes, and his purple-gray eyes were so deep that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

As for Zhu Fushi Jingguang, after he finished speaking, he pretended to be curious, saying, "Actually, I'm not that curious, but since you said so, I'll just pretend to be curious to make you happy." He smiled faintly at Hoshino Aoi and asked,

"Bourbon isn't curious, but I am. Would Middles be willing to tell me?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a mini headset from his pocket. Obviously, this action did not match the curiosity he expressed in his words, but Hoshino Aoi looked very interested, as if she didn't notice his perfunctory attitude at all, and said to him excitedly:

"I knew you would be curious."

"Hey, hey, hey, I already told you, I'm not curious about a little boy."

"Oh, don't worry about the details."

Hoshino Aoi waved her hands, as if she didn't take Amuro Toru's protest seriously at all. Without waiting for him to continue speaking, she gave the two of them a slightly mysterious smile and whispered:

"I heard that the boy used to study in Japan, but because he was too obsessed with computers, he was ostracized by his classmates there. He eventually came to the United States with his mother, and now he seems to have been admitted to MIT."

"Wow……"

Zhu Fujingguang's exclamation was obviously not acted. After all, although he didn't know the boy's exact age, he could tell from the previous encounter that the other party was only 6 or 7 years old at most.

How can we not be amazed that a child who is only 6 or 7 years old can be admitted to a world-renowned university like MIT?

but……

“Are organizations also starting to take an interest in information technology?”

Otherwise, how could Middles know so clearly?

Zhu Fujingguang hid his probing under the pretense of curiosity, and heard Middles whisper in a doubtful tone:

"No, that gentleman is old and not very receptive to new things, so he doesn't value talents related to information technology very much."

When she said this, the confusion on her face increased a bit. From Zhu Fu Jingguang's perspective, he could see that her expression was a little dazed, as if she didn't know why she was paying attention to this matter.

"As for that boy, he just heard about it from someone else and wondered why he wasn't studying medicine, then he let it go. But..."

She paused for a moment, as if thinking about what to say next.

"Anyway, after hearing that he has his own research direction now, I think it's called 'DNA tracking program'? I always feel like I should pay attention to him, but I don't know why I should pay attention to him."

When she said this, her eyes seemed a little dull, and that confused look appeared in her eyes again, which made Toru Amuro and Kagemitsu Morofushi, who were still shocked by the "DNA tracking program", suddenly react from their thoughts.

"Since you can't figure it out, then forget about it."

Amuro Toru's voice was a little soft, and it sounded like he was coaxing a child, which made Zhu Fujingguang look over subconsciously, but he saw that there was indeed a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He blinked his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.

What could have happened during the time they were alone that could make him behave like that towards her?

Could it be...

A hint of realization appeared in his eyes.

Could it be that he has confirmed her identity, confirmed that 'Middles' is really Xiaokui?

Zhu Fushigure looked over with an inquiring look, and then received a look from Amuro Toru that seemed casual but actually full of affirmation.

but……

Zhu Fujingguang frowned hesitantly.

If he remembered correctly, the person who said that even if 'Middles' was 'Hoshino Aoi', we should be on high alert and treat her as an enemy was himself, right?

So what is he doing now?

Isn't he afraid that Middles will see something from his expression?
