Chapter 146 The Same Family

Day 11 of the road survival game!

"How is Vermouth doing in the future?" Unexpectedly, when Hagiwara asked this question, Gin asked the same question in return.

Hagiwara, Matsuda, and Kazesei, who were unfamiliar with the organization, were taken aback by his question. However, Morofushi, who had partnered with Vermouth, realized from the previous reasoning that Gin was a person who doubted everything and was not influenced by any party in his judgment.

He had an advantage over others in speculating about various issues concerning the Silver Bullet. Now, realizing that Gin had no intention of killing him, he felt that Gin wouldn't stop hiding himself just because he had made things difficult for his friends.

He answered directly, "I haven't contacted Vermouth in the future, but I heard from them that the reconstructed organization hasn't contacted Vermouth because the survivors believe that you are either confirmed dead or your fate is unknown."

Aside from retiring from acting and keeping a low profile in the United States, she encountered no other problems. Her personal safety and private property remained untouched, which made people suspicious and wondered if she might have betrayed the organization.

On the other hand, they believe that even if she did not betray the organization, she may have been used by the US and Japanese authorities as a bait to lure out members of the organization who had not yet been caught, which is why they have not contacted her.

Shortly after the side effects of the silver bullet manifested and sterile chambers began to be sold on a large scale, reporters photographed her living inside one, speculating that she may have ingested the silver bullet. It's unclear whether this is related to the US and Japan seizing the silver bullet's research data from the organization.

"Hmph!" Gin heard Scotland's voice and had already anticipated that Scotland might be traveling with Fat Pig and his group. He just snorted and said nothing more, instead pondering the information Scotland had provided.

In fact, Gin had a premonition that this answer was not unexpected. He had long felt that Vermouth was a bit problematic. She would agree to the activities arranged for her by the organization on the surface, but in reality, she often went against their wishes.

He even played coy, often resorting to the secretive tactics he despised the most. Now it seems she's either been recruited by Rum, or she's been working with someone who's an enemy of the organization?

The public email address used by the CEO of the Belend Group was merely bait thrown out by that person. On the surface, it appeared to be a dedicated work email address for the organization's BOSS to contact members and issue orders.

In fact, both Rum and herself could contact other members of the organization and issue orders through that email address. Vermouth also knew this, and like herself and Rum, she had several other ways to contact the organization's boss.

Gin even speculated that the three of them might not have the same channels for contacting the organization's BOSS. After all, he was a coward who was afraid of getting old and dying, and extremely cautious. Even a rabbit with three burrows couldn't compare to him.

As for the Bellend Group, only she and the person in question truly know their relationship with Vermouth. There have been some unsubstantiated rumors circulating within the organization, suggesting that she is the organization's boss's favorite woman, his lover, or something similar.

A beautiful Hollywood actress, she was quite promiscuous in the organization. People who knew her identity would naturally think about her relationships with men and women, especially since that email address was publicly available within the organization.

Some curious individuals would inevitably investigate, and upon finding the CEO of the Belende Group, they would conclude that the CEO of the Belende Group was the organization's boss, and that the CEO of the Belende Group had a rumored affair with Vermouth's mother, Sharon, when he was young.

She's someone who supported and sponsored Sharon's debut. If her age matches the one when the rumors started, some people in the organization who know Vermouth's true identity might suspect that she's the daughter of the organization's boss.

However, because the age didn't match up, and Sharon claimed to have a husband, some gossipy people in the organization assumed that she was the organization's boss's favorite mother and daughter, or Sharon's double...

.

In short, most of the organization knew Vermouth's true identity. For example, Vodka, Chianti, and Cohen always thought that Vermouth was the organization's boss's woman or lover. Therefore, even if they couldn't stand her behavior, they could only talk about it and didn't dare to actually do anything to her.

Gin himself knew some other information. Years ago, he felt that Vermouth's behavior towards him was somewhat suspicious. She did not have the kind of words and actions that the woman of the organization's boss should avoid. Moreover, the organization's boss's attitude towards her was somewhat ambiguous.

To prevent her from using the same tricks she used on other men in the organization to get back at him, he knew that having an affair with the organization's boss's woman was a deadly thing to do in this shady place, and he wouldn't let himself stumble in such a shameful place.

So Gin had already investigated her when she was seducing him while deliberately implying to others in front of the organization that they were having an affair with him. However, he unexpectedly discovered another relationship between Vermouth and the CEO of the Bellende Group.

Vermouth and her daughter are presented as native-born Americans, and the CEO of the Bellende Group is also described as having immigrated to the United States from Britain more than a hundred years ago, making him a native of the United States in terms of its founding date.

The two sides seemed to have no connection, but while investigating Vermouth, he unexpectedly discovered an oil painting hidden in one of her secret bases. The male elder who appeared to be her great-grandfather bore a striking resemblance to the CEO of the Bellend Group.

Gin, who had realized the email address was a trap shortly after joining the organization and had no interest in investigating the details of the email address owner, put in the effort to investigate that guy.

Sure enough, another family portrait with a different scene but the same people was found in that person's treasure vault, leading him to suspect that Vermouth and the CEO of the Bellende Group were members of the same family who were related by blood.

He even suspected that the two of them might be from the same family as the organization's boss. Later, after he obtained their genes, he confirmed this. Although he had met the organization's boss in person a few years ago, he had never obtained his genes.

Judging from the outline, the organization's BOSS must have been of mixed Western descent. He has the appearance of an East Asian with black hair and brown eyes, but his facial features are as deep as those of a Westerner, especially his nose, which is clearly a Western nose.

Therefore, it is highly likely that he is from the same family as Vermouth. It is because he found out this that he tolerated and ignored some of Vermouth's behaviors that he disliked, and only took action to warn her when he got annoyed.

Now that he knows her future, Gin naturally becomes suspicious of her: "Then go check up on Vermouth! She has some unclear and ambiguous relationship with the Bellende Group."

.

"Unexplainable? Inexplicable?" Hearing his unexpected words, the group was somewhat surprised. Hagiwara and Matsuda, in particular, became curious about this member of the organization, whom they had only heard of but never seen.

Morofushi, on the other hand, was thinking about the rumors circulating within the organization. Weren't there rumors that Vermouth and Gin had mixed drinks together? Why was Gin the first to suspect her after hearing all this?

Is this Gin's way of showing distrust of everyone around him, even his own woman? Or is he actually quite concerned about the rumors circulating within the organization that Vermouth is the 'Organization Boss's' beloved lover? Just thinking about this made his expression a little strange…

Feng Xingshou, who was already curious about the relationship between the American actress and his brother, suddenly had a thought when he saw Zhu Fu's expression. He momentarily forgot that his phone was very useful for recording her voice in the dungeon.

Thinking it was a private conversation, she whispered to Hagiwara, "Hey? Look, Officer-san's expression seems a bit strange after hearing what you said, is there something wrong with what you said? Could you ask him about it for me when we get back?"

"What should I ask him?" Hagiwara knew exactly what she wanted to know, but he deliberately teased her and also made fun of his future brother-in-law.

Unaware of his 'malicious intentions,' Feng Xingshou fell for it: 'I just wanted to ask about my brother's relationship with that Vermouth, right? Officer San's tone was a bit strange when he mentioned her and my brother at the same time earlier, and his expression is so odd now...'

"Fat piglet! Looks like you've been quite idle lately! Stop thinking about useless things and get down to business." I really shouldn't have hired that woman from Northeast China to look after her when I needed to work and wasn't home. She picked up a bunch of terrible habits from her.

Now she even wants to pry into my gossip. She should be glad she's not in front of me right now, otherwise I'd make her relive that intense, mindless 'fun' sport of racing a bear in the snow...

When he called out to her, Feng Xingshou remembered that her phone's sound recording was unusually enhanced. Thinking of her brother's petty nature, she quickly laughed it off: "Haha... I just heard that this person named Vermouth is not simple, and I'm worried that she might cause trouble for you in the future!"

However, given his brother's tendency to trust no one but himself, and the fact that he had never shown any signs of a young man pursuing or trying to get close to women in front of him, Feng Xingshou felt that it was unlikely that he would fall because of a woman.

Of course, she was referring to women in romantic relationships, not female colleagues. If the brother considered Vermouth a female colleague he could trust to a certain extent, but she had ulterior motives, the brother might indeed be taken advantage of...

“Heh…” Gin responded with a cold laugh to his sister’s guilty, dry laugh, before continuing, “Vermouth and the current CEO of the Belend Group should belong to the same family and have a close blood relationship in their great-grandparents’ generation.”

The current CEO of the Bellende Group died around the time of the organization's collapse, but she escaped unscathed. This indicates that she definitely has a problem. You should keep a close eye on her activities in 2015. The situation in Japan is still uncertain, but the US authorities should be able to find some clues.

OK!

"learn."

After hearing this, Hagiwara and Matsuda habitually agreed in their usual tone.
