Chapter 17 Chapter 17 It seems that Zero has been using this method...

The official notice was issued two days later.

And it was actually the "master" who called personally.

When Zhu Fu Jingguang saw the number he had memorized appear on the caller ID, he was indeed shocked.

But when he finished listening to the content of the call, he understood why he needed to make the call in person instead of asking Gin, Vermouth and others to convey the message to him.

Because the power given by the other party was so great that it even frightened Zhu Fu Jingguang.

Just as Vermouth guessed, the organization has not actually developed much in Europe. Although there are a few scattered bases, there are many countries in Europe, and the forces that have been entrenched there for many years are complex and intricate. It is much more difficult to develop than in North America. Even if a lot of manpower and material resources are spent, it is not certain to get a return on investment.

However, an opportunity recently emerged.

There was a family in Italy whose head died unexpectedly in the prime of his life, and he left no will to arrange who would take over this huge family power.

As expected, it was snatched up by everyone. Not only people within the family, but even outsiders wanted to collude with family members to get a share of the pie.

The head of the family had an illegitimate son who felt that he was not favored enough, so he joined the organization in a fit of anger. Although he could not get a code name due to his ability problems, his background made it relatively easy for him to get along in the organization.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance to snatch a significant chunk of the spoils. Even if Mescal, the current head of the European organization, was exceptionally capable, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he could handle such a major undertaking alone. The other codename members scattered across Europe were either mediocre or unavailable, so after comprehensive consideration, they decided to report to headquarters. Headquarters planned to dispatch codename members for support soon.

Zhu Fujingguang didn't know who he had originally intended to be, but the "master" made it clear that as long as he made achievements in Europe, he would be in charge of the organization's logistics team after his return.

The logistics team is a department with a name that sounds so mediocre that people would think it is an incompetent department that does chores.

But at least many codename members knew that the Logistics Group held a crucial position. Aside from the Finance Group, the organization's lifeline, and the Medical Group, which was closely related to the R&D Group and had been separated, the majority of the organization's supplies and personnel movements fell under the Logistics Group's purview.

It is an important coordination department that is not usually thought of, but once it is absent, the organization will be paralyzed by half.

This was an unexpected surprise that Zhu Fujingguang had never even dared to imagine.

The power is not that great, but the logistics team is the place that can obtain the most organizational intelligence besides the intelligence team.

It's no wonder that Vermouth came to him specially that day, marveling at how much trust the "master" had in him and that she wanted to form an alliance with him. She probably had already figured out what position Scotland would be assigned after returning home.

It’s fake that she’s interested in European forces; her real purpose is to take a fancy to the logistics team.

But not only was Vermouth surprised, Zhufu Jingguang was also confused for a long time after hanging up the phone.

The other party clearly didn't trust Scotland to the point that every time he went to the house, he had to be blindfolded and made Vermouth take a long detour, but they gave away such an important department as the logistics team?

Zhu Fujingguang spoke sincerely that day, but selling emotions and stories was not popular in the organization. He said that these were just excuses for his future plans. It would be best if the "master" believed him, but if he didn't, he wouldn't treat him as a traitor.

...Could it be that the effect is really too good?

This whimsical idea only flashed through Zhu Fujingguang's mind. He thought his acting skills were not that good - although his sadness at that time was a true portrayal of himself.

In short, it was such a big piece of pie, even if it was poisonous, Zhu Fujingguang decided to eat it first.

The set cell phone rang, and Zhu Fujingguang got up and went out of the room to prepare dinner.

In the afternoon, the three of them took time out to go together to get the medicine developed by the Fujiwara project team and handed it to Gin, and then returned to the safe house together.

Originally, he just wanted to do his part, but when he thought about the phone call just now, he knew that he had to finish all the tasks here within two days or hand over the work to Gin and go to Europe. He didn't know when he would be able to come back.

So, Morofushi Kagemitsu finally decided to cook for his two resentful partners again before leaving Japan.

One saved him that day.

One was saved by him that day.

To some extent, it is quite a coincidence. Let's just treat it as a celebration party for the official success of today's mission, Zhu Fu Jingguang thought calmly.

As a result, after the meal was ready, Zhu Fujingguang went over to knock on the doors one by one, only to find that the elusive Bourbon had left the safe house again at some point.

Ley lamented this with genuine regret: "What a shame about the creamy celery."

However, when the two were halfway through their meal, the elusive Bourbon appeared in the safe house again, but compared to when they went on the mission together in the afternoon, his expression was obviously not relaxed.

Lei's attention was focused on the Scottish delicacies, so he had no time to pay attention to the bourbon.

Morofushi Kagemitsu noticed at a glance that something was wrong with Bourbon - not only was the penetrating wound on his leg caused by Fujiwara torn open, but there seemed to be an additional knife wound on his left shoulder.

Bourbon, who looked a little embarrassed, didn't expect to see Ley and Scotland enjoying their food safely as soon as he entered the door.

Scotland:"……"

Bourbon: “…”

The scene seemed familiar, except that the two people had switched positions.

But unlike that day when Rye hinted to Scotland with his eyes to make him another portion, Bourbon was now in an awkward position with Scotland because of the previous incident. Even though he noticed that the amount of food on the table was enough for three people, he was reluctant to walk over.

Zhu Fujingguang sighed in his heart, reached out and pushed the creamy celery dish towards Bourbon, who then sat down at the dining table with a slightly shifted gaze.

Lei probably didn't want to get involved in the increasingly strange atmosphere between the two people. Ever since Bourbon sat down at the dining table, the speed at which he moved his chopsticks almost doubled. He finished his meal quickly, washed his own dishes, and then went back to his room, leaving the two people without even making eye contact.

Bourbon couldn't eat quickly because of his shoulder injury, and he also remembered the default rule that "the cook doesn't wash the dishes", so he finished his meal slowly and prepared to go to the sink to wash the dishes.

Then Zhu Fujingguang grabbed the hem of his clothes.

He lowered his head and saw the cat-eyed young man pointing to the wounds on his shoulder and leg, then pointing to the medical kit in the safe house, as if he wanted to bandage him. Bourbon was slightly surprised at first, but then replied nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal."

Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned.

He knew about Furiya Rei's bad habit. When he was a child, he tried his best to injure himself just to find Dr. Miyano for help in bandaging. Later, he became friends with Morobushi Kagemitsu and would come to Morobushi Kagemitsu for any injuries, big or small.

It seems that Rei Furuya has always been seeking the attention of those close to him in this way.

And Morobushi Kagemitsu was willing to let his young friend feel his concern, even though he strongly disagreed with the other party's behavior. But as long as Furuya Rei didn't get hurt on his own initiative, he would pretend not to know.

So, now that Dr. Miyano wasn't around, and he wasn't familiar with Morobushi Kagemitsu, why was Furuya Rei still left with such an obvious wound?...

Thinking of a possibility, his fingers, which were gripping the hem of his bourbon jacket, turned even paler with increasing force.

The cat-like eyes that had finally managed to meet Bourbon's gaze suddenly half-closed, and the trembling long eyelashes concealed the emotions that should not have appeared in his eyes.

It was also because of this shift in attention that Zhu Fujingguang realized that he was still pulling at Bourbon's clothes.

Just as he withdrew his hand, he heard the other person's voice coming from above him: "Then I'll trouble you for your help."

Rei Furuya's wounds were more serious than they appeared.

The wound on his leg was inflamed and swollen from being torn again. The knife wound on his shoulder was so deep that the bone was visible. Although it had been roughly staunchly stopped by Furuya Rei, when he untied the cloth, he found that the wound had not even been cleaned properly.

Jōguchi Ling's physical condition is indeed very good. Zhu Fujingguang touched his body before cleaning his wound and found no signs of fever. He was even able to wash the dishes just now.

The blond young man pursed his lips, and Zhu Fujingguang guessed that he regretted asking him to help treat his wound, because the atmosphere was indeed a bit awkward.

As expected, Bourbon soon started spewing some trash talk: "I can handle these minor injuries myself, Scotland doesn't need to be so insistent on helping. Besides, isn't it a bit too hypocritical for two codename members to help treat wounds? Or does Scotland have other intentions, like taking the opportunity to poison my wounds - hiss..."

Scotland, who had "ulterior motives", "accidentally" poked the wound with a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide, making Bourbon immediately realize how gentle Scotland's previous method was.

Looking at the cat eyes that said, "Just try saying so much nonsense again," Bourbon, who was the most talkative person in the world, shut up for the time being.

The wound on the leg was treated faster because it was an old injury and the wound area was not that large.

But Zhu Fujingguang suspected that the knife wound on his shoulder was caused by a sickle used for mowing grass, as there were even some very fine grass debris on the wound.

In order to prevent these grass debris from affecting wound healing, Zhu Fu Jingguang had to carefully pick them out one by one.

As a sniper, his naked eye vision is naturally impeccable, but when a person is extremely focused, he can't help but get closer and closer.

So when Zhu Fujingguang finally finished cleaning the wound on his shoulder, he couldn't help but look up with a bit of pride and tried to show the results of his work to Furuya Ling, only to find that they had become so close without him knowing when.

So close that our breaths blend.

Zhu Fu Jingguang's pupils constricted, and before he could see Bourbon's expression, he wanted to step back to a normal social distance.

But sometimes things develop in ways that are beyond our expectations.

For example, Lei, who had originally turned his back on the two of them, suddenly opened his door and said, "Gin called to ask—"

He was even holding the phone in his hand, which was still in use, and watching the scene in front of him, it was as if the mute button had been pressed.

Bourbon was shirtless, and Scotland was lying on top of him, looking him in the eye.

——What are these two people doing?
