Chapter 55 Name: Moroboshi Dai [VIP]

The next morning, Cheng took Youyi to the dessert shop and asked him to watch the shop downstairs while the adults went upstairs to discuss business.

Zhu Fujingguang looked at the message on his phone. The contact clearly stated that he wanted to meet with a person named Cheng You. He asked Cheng You for his opinion, and Cheng You readily agreed to chat for a while. After all, he was also a staunch supporter of the Red Team and had to express his support to prevent the Red Team from taking over his base in the future...

Although it's still a long way off, what if? I don't have any protagonist's halo.

After packing up, I patted Yuichi's head. Yuichi sat there obediently, reading quietly, without showing much curiosity.

While waiting downstairs with Morofushi Kagemitsu, Cheng You received a text message from Curaçao: "[The person in charge of this mission to the Japanese laboratory is Bordeaux. Never seen him before. He rarely appears in public; he's a behind-the-scenes figure in the technical department, said to be taciturn and cold-hearted. So far, only he has been chosen. Gin might investigate the research institute.]"

Bordeaux, an organization member I've never heard of.

The technical department? Could it be that they're also computer experts like Cheng You?

This mission, which involves taking things from the research institute, was assigned to only Bordeaux. Although Gin was also involved, his task was to investigate the research institute.

Looks like we need to be careful this time. I wonder who this Bordeaux is.

Before Cheng You could figure anything out, the wind chimes hanging on the door rang, and a slightly disheveled, gloomy-looking young man in black pushed the door open and entered. Cheng You recognized this man; he had been to the store once before, and he was also the man who had made eye contact with Cheng You during the retrospective mission three years ago.

So young, and looking about the same age as me, he must be a university student. He couldn't possibly be Morofushi Kagemitsu's contact.

With that thought in mind, Cheng smiled and greeted the guest in front of him: "Hello, what would you like to order?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu had never met his contact, only knowing that the other party was a schoolboy, so he paid some attention to guests of that age.

The lazy and dejected boy bit his finger, his black eyes holding a few scattered glimmers of light. He looked at the dessert menu, ordered a few desserts, and then looked around before his gaze fell on Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had blue cat-like eyes, standing to the side.

He looked at Cheng You and whispered, "Um, you're Cheng You, right? Where's Mr. Midorikawa?"

"?!?!" Cheng Youtong's pupils trembled.

This boy in front of me knows who I am?! No, the key point is the last sentence: he knows Midorikawa? Could he be Morofushi Kagemitsu's contact? So young?! Then what was the purpose of following me three years ago, and staring at me from that high-rise building?!

This is absolutely villainous behavior!

Cheng frowned, looked at the man in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

The boy opposite him remained calm and slowly began to speak: "Let me introduce myself. I am a police detective, Ryuzaki, L. Ryuzaki."

L. Ryuzaki.

Cheng knew this alias. He had suspected Morofushi Kagemitsu's contact person and tried to find out the contact person's identity through the public security website, but he couldn't find out. He only knew that the person's code name was L. Ryuzaki.

However, this cannot completely confirm the other party's identity.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng said to the man in front of him who called himself "L. Ryuzaki," "Wait a moment." He then took out his phone and sent a message to Morofushi Hiromitsu, asking him to send a message to L. Ryuzaki, as the man in front of him could not be completely trusted.

Morofushi Kagemitsu indicated that he understood and sent a message on his phone: 【Midorikawa: Have you arrived?】

At the same time, the man who called himself "L. Ryuzaki" looked at his phone, tapped the screen a few times, and then tapped it once more. Morofushi Hiromitsu received the message: [L. Ryuzaki: I'm here. The person in front of Mr. Cheng You is me.]

Morofushi Kagemitsu sent a message to Cheng You to confirm that it was indeed the man in front of him.

Cheng gestured for Motofushi Kagemitsu to go upstairs first, then smiled and said to Ryuzaki, "Sir, shall I take you to find that gentleman now?"

Ryuzaki waved his hand to indicate that he wouldn't go yet, saying, "No rush, let's prepare the dessert first."

"?" Is this really a business meeting? Or did they just happen to buy desserts and stop by to discuss business?

“I’d like to talk business while we eat. I love the desserts at your shop.” Ryuzaki smiled, his eyes shining with a light that was innocent, clear, and free of any ulterior motives.

Although he is a detective for the police, someone the police are trying to protect, and a liaison for undercover agents, he is still a young man bursting with a sense of justice. Even though he has seen darkness, he is unwilling to become one with it.

Looking at the genius boy in front of him, who was about the same age as him, Cheng felt a sense of mutual respect and appreciation.

He smiled and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, guest."

After Cheng made a simple dish, he handed it to Ryuzaki and also made one for Yuichi. He handed it to Yuichi and patted his head, saying, "Check out the shop first. I have something to discuss with this older brother. Don't chat with any strange people you encounter."

“Okay.” Yu Yi nodded obediently. As the two of them turned to go upstairs, Yu Yi carefully looked at Ryuzaki. He was just an ordinary boy with a bit of innocence in his eyes. How did Cheng You’s brother get involved with him?

Upstairs, Ryuzaki pushed open the door and entered, only to see Morofushi Kagemitsu disguised as Midorikawa Kage sitting on the sofa. He paused, bit his finger, and cautiously asked, "Is this... Midorikawa?"

"Yes." Cheng You said, turning around and closing the door. He then checked the curtain to make sure there were no scratches or listening devices before he felt relieved.

Morobuchi Kagemitsu smiled and said, "This is my disguise, which may be different from the information you have seen."

Ryuzaki moved the chair to the opposite side of Morofushi Kagemitsu. Just when Cheng You thought he was going to sit down, Ryuzaki squatted down on the chair. He bit his finger and looked at the person in front of him: "The eyes are somewhat similar, equally beautiful."

"Thank you," said Morofushi Kagemitsu.

Ryuzaki opened the cake box directly, smiling as he enjoyed the delicious cake. He paused halfway through and asked, "What are your plans next?"

“I’m going to an exhibition this afternoon at the Japanese lab, which is being held by the Kujo and Suzuki families. I heard that someone named Bordeaux will be there. Did you know that?” Cheng You said, looking at Morofushi Kagemitsu.

“Hmm, I know him. He’s the person behind the scenes in the technical department, but he’s not a technician… Hmm, this…” Morofushi Kagemitsu frowned as he spoke. He didn’t know much about this mysterious Bordeaux. You could say he was capable, but he didn’t seem to have taken on any missions. You could say he wasn’t capable, but most of the missions required him to check surveillance footage and look up information.

"Exactly, I'm not entirely sure either. He seems very capable, but I don't know if he did it all by himself. I don't believe it. Things like checking surveillance footage, researching data, altering data, renting cars, renting bodyguards, bribing enemies, or hiring assassins can all be done through him."

After listening, Cheng Youye couldn't help but frown: "I see..."

Morofushi Kagemitsu couldn't think of anything else, so he said directly, "He's involved in most missions, but his presence isn't very strong; they're mostly broad and fragmented tasks."

Cheng nodded: "It certainly doesn't seem like something one person could do." Hiring a hitman to kill someone? Hopefully, the transaction was done on the Gray Fox Assassins' dark web, so he could still find some clues.

“In short, this person is extremely dangerous.” Zhu Fujingguang looked at Cheng You with a serious expression. “I will go with you on this mission.”

"Ah... well..." Cheng You scratched his cheek somewhat awkwardly, "Well, I'm not going to go against Bordeaux, actually I'm thinking... about getting into the organization through Gin..."

"Join the organization?!" Morofushi Kagemitsu frowned. "It's too dangerous. But I know you won't do anything unprepared. If you have confidence, I'll help you."

"Don't worry." Cheng You smiled, then his expression suddenly changed to calm as he looked at Long Qi. "Long Qi, how did you find out about me three years ago? And why were you following me?"

Morifushi Kagemitsu was shocked: "Following...stalking?"

Ryuzaki was eating cake and listening to their conversation when the topic suddenly turned to him. He blinked and said, "Stalking? So that's what stalking is. I've seen it in TV dramas; they say it's a common tactic used by private detectives when investigating people."

Cheng You's lips twitched. Facing Ryuzaki's bright and sincere gaze, Cheng You was not angry. But when he thought about how the other party had almost given him a trauma when he followed him, he couldn't help but look at Ryuzaki with a wistful expression.

Ryuzaki took a bite of cake and continued, "Finding you was indeed not easy. There were no traces on the surveillance cameras, but we could still find you through the reflections in the glass and the rearview mirrors of cars. Midorikawa mentioned you to me, although he didn't say your name. As long as we eliminated factors such as age and searched the places Midorikawa mentioned you had been, we found you. Three years ago, I didn't know your name, but three years later, which is recently, I found you. Your name is Cheng You."

Cheng You's mind was in turmoil. No way! I knew it! I was so careful, how could I still be found out?! Turns out you're incredibly clever! Who the hell would think of using a reflection?! You're a supermodel!

"But what's strange is that there's absolutely no record of you boarding a plane to Japan three years ago," Ryuzaki said, pursing his lips.

Cheng casually brushed aside this topic he didn't want to bring up, his tone somewhat nonchalant: "These are just abilities, they're not important. Ryuzaki, tell Furuya Rei that Morofushi Hiromitsu is still alive. Just let him know."

“Well, I can’t contact Furuya Rei directly. I need to contact Furuya Rei’s contact person, Kazami Yuya, first.” Ryuzaki thought for a moment and said, “However, I haven’t spent much time with Kazami Yuya, so I’m not sure if he will report this to the higher-ups.”

After a moment of contemplation, Morofushi Kagemitsu said, "Forget it. Until the Black Organization's mole is caught, I don't trust anyone in the Public Security Bureau except for Ryuzaki, Zero, and the commander. Leave Zero's matter to me."

The atmosphere became somewhat serious for a moment.

Cheng Youxiao said, "Why don't we talk about the research institute? Are you police going to investigate the research institute too?"

“It’s difficult to investigate,” Ryuzaki said. “Even more difficult than the Black Organization. The head of the research institute is very meticulous. The Public Security Bureau is trying to find a way, but I’m not very concerned about it. They’re always thinking about finding undercover agents, but they don’t think about finding an opportunity to take them all down at once.”

"They probably need to gather evidence, since in court, evidence is everything," Cheng You said.

The three chatted for a while longer. Cheng You saw Long Qi off. Before leaving, Long Qi wanted to buy some desserts, and Cheng You gave him several boxes to make sure he was satisfied.

Just as he stopped to rest, a message popped up in the email inbox of one of Cheng's alternate accounts.

This email address was used to recruit people for the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion. Because Cheng You had the ability to read prisoners' minds, he could hear the thoughts of all his subordinates. Those who were disloyal to him had all been dismissed, and those who were undercover agents were handed over to Takeda Ryosuke and Wendy.

So the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion is short of people right now, so he posted a recruitment poster for the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion on the Gray Fox Assassin Dark Network using a small account, and included that email address.

However, not many people signed up, because it was a new BOSS, and others didn't know who the boss was, so they didn't dare to make any moves. But most people active on the Gray Fox Assassin Dark Network should have seen the post titled "[The New BOSS of the Invincible East Pavilion is a Murderous Maniac!]"

Cheng You investigated and found that the post was written by one of his former disloyal colleagues who had been fired. It was a complaint about the new boss's chaotic actions upon taking office, including killing managers and indiscriminately carrying out a horrific massacre of Cheng You's subordinates. Cheng You said he was deeply saddened to see his former friends fall one by one and couldn't help but send the message to denounce him.

This post went viral immediately, becoming a trending topic on the website that day. As a result, even fewer people signed up to join the Grey Fox Assassins dark web – no, almost none did, absolutely none.

Fortunately, Cheng discovered it quickly and deleted the post. It's so fake! He killed the administrators because they were villains; he didn't kill any organization members! He just dismissed them. Even if there were undercover agents among the organization members, he didn't kill them because they weren't involved in too many high-level secrets; he simply dismissed and let them go.

His illustrious reputation!

Although the post has been deleted, it doesn't stop people from continuing to share this story on the thread. They will clean it up when they see Cheng You, but they can't see it every moment.

The reason for deleting the post reads: "[Prohibited words appeared.]" Let the poster guess which word was prohibited. I'll ban it again after you've corrected it, and it will be for the same reason.

But after careful consideration, Cheng You decided to kick the person who posted the message off the website and ban their account. After all, people who distort the truth like this are disliked anywhere, and if they accept bounty missions or betray the missions, it would damage the website's reputation.

After that ordeal, even fewer people submitted their applications to this email address, so Cheng was very shocked when he saw this email today.

I knew some rational colleagues would realize it was a defamatory post.

Moved, Cheng opened the application letter. Name: Moroboshi Dai.

Cheng You: *#*, it can't be the one I know... right??
