Chapter 034 Big Brother Visits
The "adult conversation" between Vermouth and Gin made Vodka sweat profusely.
"Anyway, I disagree," Vermouth said. "Since this mission has fallen on you, it must be very important. And since Weiwei has no training, how can he complete it?"
"Of course he's not the only one on this mission," Gin said. "Our people will approach the Dongye Group from all sides. Dongye Xi is just one of the targets."
Hatori Yuiichi immediately said, "Then there's no need to go through him. No one at school knows his identity, which means he's completely insignificant to the Tono family. And he's still in school, so he has no access to the group's internal affairs, right?"
Gin glanced at him and said, "No matter how little he's valued, he's still a member of the Tono family. The Tono family is complicated, and it would take time for others to conquer it. Since you've already gained Tono Xi's appreciation, I don't need to arrange for anyone else to contact him. I'm doing this to improve efficiency."
Hatori Yui clenched his fists tightly in his pockets, a hesitant expression on his face. "I'll think about it."
Gin narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you are willing to do this task, I can agree to one condition of yours." He stood up, walked up to Hatori Yui and said something.
Hatori Yui glanced at him sideways: "Are you serious?"
Gin smiled and said, "Of course."
Hatori Yui was silent for a while, then finally nodded in agreement.
"However..." he added, "Since you asked me to capture him, please don't interfere. Also, if other members successfully infiltrate the Tono family or take any action, I hope you can inform me in advance. Although I have accepted the mission, I don't want to be involved in any strange incidents."
Gin agreed to his request.
"Then for the next period of time, please don't appear in front of me. If you have anything, just call me directly." After saying this, Yuiichi turned and left.
After coming out of the bar and being blown by the evening breeze, Yui Hatori was surprised to find that his back was soaked with sweat.
Fortunately, he was wearing a coat, otherwise Gin would have discovered him.
He took on this task not because of the conditions Gin mentioned, but to know the movements of other members at the first time.
Those people were different from him. If they failed in their mission, they would face severe punishment, so they would definitely try every possible means. If they accidentally injured Dong Yexi during the operation, that was not what he wanted to see.
Therefore, he must know their plans in advance so that he can help Dong Yexi avoid the crisis.
After Hatori Yui left, Vodka asked, "Brother, are the conditions you just mentioned true?"
"Of course." Gin glanced at Vermouth, "That guy is useless anyway, so I'm just doing him a favor."
Vermouth looked at him without saying anything.
Gin: "Tsk, they are all the same, why do you only like him?"
Vermouth lifted her hair and said, "I'm not so philanthropic as to like everyone. It's my freedom to choose whoever I like."
She walked over to Gin and said, "But you, who keep ordering him around, makes me doubt your intentions."
Gin: "I'm just squeezing out his surplus value."
Vermouth pursed her lips, glared at him coldly, and left the bar.
Vodka said worriedly, "Brother, what if she complains to the boss?"
Gin snorted coldly: "Don't worry. He's just a destined abandoned pawn. Not as important as you think."
Vodka nodded, not quite understanding.

The system has unlocked new columns, and Dong Yexi can now have other combinations.
He first put [100% Bare-Handed Catch] in the commonly used skills column, and other skills could be replaced when needed.
And in the label, he can finally replace [central air conditioning].
Because labels can only be switched to the same type, the original owner's "Sea King" had to be replaced with "Central Air Conditioning." The "Social Expert" label he drew this time, however, no longer carries a negative connotation compared to the previous two. This suggests that derogatory labels can be weakened in this way, ultimately replacing them with something else entirely.
From [Aquaman] to [Central Air Conditioning] to [Social Expert], the three levels decrease gradually, from a scumbag character to a person who is good at communication.
Another point: in this situation, he could still wear the "Invisible Man" designation. These two labels are actually completely opposite: one is eye-catching, the other is inconspicuous. I wonder if wearing them would confuse people around him.
However, Dong Yexi still chose to wear the [Fitness Master]. After all, he was a little weak, and using it could at least give him a little strength.
As for the appearance description...
None of these words seem very impressive. [Immortal Product] has no problems other than glowing outdoors at night. And [Unassuming Appearance] seems too understated. He's afraid drivers won't see him on the road. What if he gets into a car accident?
So, leave that position empty for now and use it when needed.
After watching the gossips of the Dongye family all afternoon and studying the system for a long time, Dongye Xi finally felt sleepy. After cleaning himself up, he fell asleep.
The next day, he was awakened by the regular ringing of the doorbell.
He didn't sleep very well that night and had a dream about the Tono family. He couldn't remember the specific content, but he remembered that the plot was very bloody and the scene was very chaotic.
Dong Yexi got up from the bed, rubbing his eyebrows, and went to open the door.
"Here I come~" He opened the door and saw a man who looked 80% like him, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a dark gray suit, standing outside with an expressionless face. Behind him were two bodyguards wearing sunglasses.
Dong Yexi's sleepiness disappeared at once, and he stammered, "Big brother."
The person outside the door was his elder brother - Dong Yexu!
The big brother came to see him so early in the morning, maybe he had just gotten off the plane. It seemed that he really cared about the original owner!
Dong Yexu said to the two bodyguards: "Go wait for me downstairs."
After he entered the house, he saw his brother's disheveled appearance and said, "Go change your clothes first."
Dong Yexi nodded repeatedly: "Then brother, please sit for a while, I'll be there soon." Then he rushed into the bedroom and changed his clothes as quickly as possible.
When he came out, he found his eldest brother in the kitchen.
Dong Yexu opened the refrigerator and took a look, then frowned at him and asked, "Why is there nothing in your refrigerator, only drinks? What do you usually eat?"
Dong Yexi instinctively needed to answer this question properly, so he immediately said, "The apartment can deliver meals, and I sometimes eat in the school cafeteria. The dishes are rich and nutritionally balanced, and better than what I cook myself."
Dong Yexu looked at the trash can: "Then what is this?"
Dong Yexi looked down and saw the packaging of the fried chicken he bought the day before. He touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I change my taste occasionally..."
Dong Yexu walked straight to the sofa and sat down: "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Dong Yexi remained silent.
He doesn't know!
Fortunately, my eldest brother was very considerate. He said, "You said you would take care of yourself, so I agreed to let you move out. So, is this how you take care of yourself?"
Dong Yexi said: "I don't eat takeout every day! I exercise regularly! Look at my muscles!" As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and showed his biceps to his elder brother.
The eldest brother said, "You are so capable, why did you get kidnapped?"
Dong Yexi directly cried out for justice: "Well, they have guns. Even if my muscles are strong, they can't withstand the bullets, right?"
The eldest brother sighed deeply: "That's why I asked you to bring bodyguards."
Dong Yexi immediately refused: "I still have to go to school. It would be too conspicuous. It's not good."
The eldest brother glanced at him and said, "You said that when you were admitted to university. Now it's been so many years, and you still say that. How long do you plan to finish your studies?"
Dong Yexi touched his nose and said, "At least wait until I finish my graduate studies."
"Okay." The eldest brother was silent for a while, then asked, "Are you okay?"
Dong Yexi quickly shook his head: "No, I'm fine! Not a hair is hurt!"
"That's good."
Dong Yexi saw emotions such as fear and relief on his elder brother's face, and once again confirmed that he really cared about the original owner!
Dong Yexi's throat felt slightly dry, and he suddenly felt guilty, thinking that he had snatched someone else's brother away.
He said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. But you, your dark circles are gone, and your glasses can't cover them anymore. Go back and get some rest!"
Dong Yexu touched the bridge of his nose and said, "I slept on the plane. I've been busy expanding our overseas business lately. I'll relax after this period of time."
He looked up at Dong Yexi: "By the way, the third brother has his birthday next month, remember to come back."
Dong Yexi subconsciously asked, "What day is it?" He felt something was amiss. It was unbelievable that a brother couldn't remember his younger brother's birthday! He should have waited until his older brother left and then looked it up online.
Unexpectedly, Dong Yexu was silent for a moment, then took out his phone, took a look, and said, "Number five."
Dong Yexi: = . = He saw it. The eldest brother was looking at the schedule! So he didn't even remember the youngest brother's birthday... It seems like the relationship between these three brothers is quite complicated.
His expression was a little complicated. Dong Yexu saw it and thought he was unwilling to go back. So Dong Yexu said, "You must come back this time. Aunt Xia Jiang said she wants to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the third child. Father agreed. There will be a banquet for many guests, and you can't miss it. I will help you prepare the dress, and you remember to come back in advance to try it on." Dong Ye Xia Jiang is his father's third wife.
Dong Yexi could only nod in agreement.
He felt that something unexpected would happen after he returned. He could only deal with it as it came.
After Dong Yexu gave his brother instructions, he prepared to leave.
Dong Yexi immediately went around to the front and helped him open the door.
After opening the door, I saw Hatori Yui standing outside, raising his hand to ring the doorbell.
All three of them were stunned.
Hatori Yui immediately came to his senses and said, "Senior, I'm here to give you a USB drive."
"Why are we here?" Higashino Xi faced Hatori Yuiichi, not daring to look back. He felt incredibly guilty, afraid his older brother would notice something. He'd previously felt no burden about revealing his sexual orientation, but now, he felt immense pressure.
Hatori Yuiichi explained, "You dropped it in the cafe. The waiter chased you out. You were withdrawing money from the bank at the time, so he gave it to me and asked me to pass it on. But then something happened and I forgot about it."
After hearing this, Higashino Xi knew that Amuro Toru must have copied the information away, and now that it was returned, it meant that the information could still be used by the tutor.
That's good, otherwise he really wouldn't have an excuse.
At this time, Dong Yexu, who was standing behind him, asked, "Were you in the bank yesterday too?"
Hatori Yui looked at Higashino Xu. Although he didn't know who this person was, he could guess from his appearance that he was related to Higashino Xi. He said, "I happened to be outside at the time." He said guiltily, "I'm really sorry that I couldn't be with you in your critical moment!"
Dong Yexi immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't say that! Didn't you help subdue a robber? If it weren't for your shot, I would be in danger!"
Then he desperately winked at Hatori Yui, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.
Hatori Yui didn't understand what he meant, but wisely kept her mouth shut.
Dong Yexu didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them back and forth.
Just when Dong Yexi was about to break out in a cold sweat, the eldest brother finally said, "Remember what I told you. I'm going back first."
