Chapter 88 Chapter 88 "Don't act on your own." ...

66.

The feeling of my jaw being clamped made my scalp tingle, especially when Gin's dark green eyes were like poisoned blades, firmly fixed on my face.

Woohoo, it's been a long time since I saw Gin like this.

It really scares me again.

Excited again (?).

No, now is not the time to be infatuated. I forced myself to maintain that confused and aggrieved expression, and even deliberately made my eyes slightly red.

Brows, start!

Playing the pity, that's what they're playing.

"Zhen, you're hurting me..." I tried to break free, but his fingers were as firm as iron clamps. "What do you mean, is it related to me? I don't know what you're talking about."

The corners of his mouth curled up coldly: "Playing dumb?"

"I'm not playing dumb!" I raised my voice, furious. "If you're accusing me like this, I don't know what to say! Gin, Jin, I, your humble servant, have no excuse—"

"Keep playing dumb?" Gin's voice was low and dangerous. He leaned in, his silver hair brushing my forehead, and he carried the lingering scent of gunpowder from a recently completed mission. "Then tell me, where in Shibuya did you get lost when you said you were 'lost' the other day?"

He particularly emphasized the words "lost" and "Shibuya".

My heart sank.

No, that's not right.

Could it be... ?

"I'm just lost!" I said stubbornly, but my eyes flickered involuntarily. "Shibuya is so big, and my sense of direction is not good... You know, the same place is different to me during the day and at night. How can I remember where I got lost?"

"You have a bad sense of direction, yet you 'happened' to be in the surveillance blind spot at the place where Pramya was finally arrested? You must have been searching for that spot for a long time, right?" Gin's voice was practically next to my ear, his tone dripping with knowing sarcasm. "Do you need me to pull up the traffic camera footage of you? You're smart enough to wear a hat, but why don't you know you need to change your clothes when wearing one?"

My breath hitched.

What? Cameras? There are cameras in the world of science? This isn't science!!!

Oh, traffic cameras... I actually forgot about that.

I was obviously being super cautious and disguised myself well. I wore a hat when I got on the subway, but I forgot to take it with me before entering the subway.

No, where did Gin start looking for it?

And how come they found me and not anyone else? Are Ley and Bourbon really that professional? I don't believe it!

"It's not that Rum doesn't care about Pramia," Gin continued, each word hitting me like an icicle. "He did investigate, but he didn't find any clues pointing to the inside... because I cleared up any traces you might have left in advance."

He released my jaw and used his knuckles to lift my face, forcing me to look him in the eye.

"When I saw the location where Pramya was arrested on the news, I guessed it was you. Yes, you're starting to use these roundabout methods, using the police as a pretext to get rid of people you don't like."

For a moment, I didn't know whether to be shocked that Gin would actually finish me off, or to lament that it was over and he knew everything.

My heart was beating so hard in my chest it almost jumped out.

"It's okay to be too close to those two guys, Ley and Bourbon," his voice grew colder, and undercurrents I couldn't understand surged in his dark green eyes, like a deep sea suppressing a storm. "Just because I indulge you doesn't mean I'm blind. But now you're actually working with a rat? And you're lying to me about it being Bourbon. Scotland is an undercover agent of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, Kaimen Yingzi."

I'm most afraid of Gin suddenly calling me by my full name——

He stared at me and asked word by word, "When did you know?"

I bit my lower lip and didn't dare to answer.

"Why didn't you tell me?" His voice was filled with bone-chilling coldness and disbelief. "If you just hated Pramya, why didn't you let me do it? For you, relying on the power of a mouse makes you feel more at ease than relying on me?"

"No..." I retorted subconsciously, but my voice was as thin as a mosquito.

It's not that I feel at ease, it's just...

Eh, that's not right. It seems that Gin thought that I went to meet Scotland that day?

Oh my, Bourbon, you have saved your vest again. You are really lucky.

"And..." His eyes were so sharp that they seemed to rip open my soul. "Did you ask Scotland to take the Miyano sisters away? Are they really worth you risking your life and pleading with the rats for them?"

"I can explain this. I really didn't take the initiative to tell Scotland that I wanted him to take Shirley and Mingmei away." I stuttered and couldn't continue because...

Gin stared at me intently, with so many emotions surging in his eyes... anger, disappointment, questioning, and a hint of... betrayal?

"Then what exactly are you doing?" His voice was filled with suppressed emotion. "You keep pulling these little tricks right under my nose, meddling in matters you shouldn't be involved in, even resorting to the power of your organization's enemies... Kaimen Yingzi, tell me, what exactly is your purpose?"

He suddenly grabbed my wrist with such force that I winced in pain. “Are you planning to betray the organization?”

He almost gritted his teeth when he asked the last sentence: "Or... do you want to betray me?"

The air froze.

The living room was eerily quiet, with only the sound of our heavy breathing.

I stared into his eyes, which seemed to devour me, and my mind went blank. I had never thought that Gin would find out, but under his repeated questioning, I was really at a loss.

I opened my mouth, wanting to say something witty to lighten the mood, trying to get away with it like I usually did by making a joke, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something, and no word came out.

Any lies told to him at this moment would only make the situation worse.

Gin doesn't want me to lie to him or hide anything from him.

But what should I say? That I just don't want to see innocent people die? That I don't think the Miyano sisters should be trapped in the organization's cage? That I'm already tired of this organization filled with darkness and blood?

I can't say a word of these.

So, I fell silent, lowered my eyelashes, and avoided his burning gaze, like a child who had done something wrong and was awaiting trial.

My silence seemed to completely ignite his suppressed anger. I could feel the air pressure around him drop terribly, like the dead silence before a storm.

The next second, he suddenly raised his hand——

I was so scared that I closed my eyes and my body shrank subconsciously, but the expected pain did not fall on my face.

That hand made a sharp sound, but it didn't strike me, instead it grabbed the back of my head. The other arm passed through my knees and easily lifted me up.

"Ah!" I screamed, and without thinking, I hugged his neck to prevent myself from falling.

He held me in his arms and strode towards the bedroom. His footsteps were heavy and carried an irresistible force.

"Zhen! What are you doing! Let me go!" I began to struggle, fear and inexplicable shame surged in my heart.

He ignored my protests and walked straight into the bedroom, throwing me heavily onto the soft bed. The mattress bounced violently, and I tried to get up, dizzy and dazed, but he had already pressed himself against me, pinning me firmly between the bed and him.

"I'll ask you one last time," he placed his hands on my ears, his silver hair hanging down, almost isolating us from the outside world. His dark green eyes shone frighteningly bright in the shadows. "What happened in Scotland, what happened to the Miyano sisters? Was it you who did it?"

I looked at his face so close to me, which was filled with anger and some complicated emotions... I knew that I couldn't lie to him anymore, at least not completely.

I turned my head away, avoiding his gaze, and said in a weak but clear voice, "...I just told Scotland that I knew he was an undercover agent. As for the Miyano sisters...they are not suitable to stay in the organization."

My throat was choked with sobs and I couldn't speak, but I still managed to say, "I don't want them to die."

Admitting one part and hiding another is the limit of what I can do.

I heard him take a deep breath, and there was a suppressed violence in his voice.

Then he suddenly lowered his head and grabbed my lips hard.

This is not a kiss.

This is a punishment, a one-sided catharsis and conquest.

His lips and tongue, with undeniable force and fury, roughly pried open my teeth, penetrating deeply, entwining, sucking, and even biting. The stinging sensation on my lips made me groan, and the smell of blood instantly filled my mouth.

I was trapped beneath him, unable to move, and could only passively endure this aggressive and punishing kiss. His arm was wrapped around my waist like an iron hoop, and his other hand was inserted into my hair, fixing my head and not allowing me the slightest possibility of retreat.

My breath was robbed, and my brain was dizzy from lack of oxygen. I could feel his heartbeat beneath his chest, and the almost uncontrollable strength contained in his body, every muscle tensed as it pressed against me.

This is not lust, at least not entirely.

It was more like a declaration, a possession tinged with anger and unease. He was confirming my existence in this way, punishing me for concealing it, or perhaps... he was also afraid of something.

I don't know how long it took, but when I was almost suffocating, he finally pulled away slightly. The silver thread broke between our lips. My lips were numb and sore, definitely swollen.

His forehead rested against mine, our hot breaths intertwined, and his dark green eyes were still staring at me, the storm inside them had not completely subsided.

"Listen." His voice was hoarse, filled with the panting of passion and lingering anger. "From now on, put away all your clever tricks. If you have any problems, come to me. Don't act on your own."

He pinched my chin, still with considerable force: "Don't let me find you involved with those rats, or anything that might threaten your safety. Otherwise..."

At this moment, besides the inexplicable feeling in my heart, I also feel...

It looks like he's calmed down, so it's time for me to settle the score.

I looked into his eyes, my voice still hoarse and choked with sobs from the kiss. "You've been so mean today. Have you figured out that I've betrayed the organization?"

"You actually think that of me? I helped the organization get rid of unsuitable people and even dealt with the undercover, and you're still mean to me?"

"Let go, I'm angry!"

The author has something to say: I've been revising Chapter 87 over and over again, and I'm exhausted. I don't have the time to begin with, and I've lost my form and my touch... I'm so tired, so tired, so tired...

I'm at work from morning till night and can't eat, and I have to change this when I have time. I can't change it anymore. If it gets locked again, I'll just delete it... For those who haven't seen it, please think of a solution. It's not particularly important [化][化][化]
