Chapter 107 The Prodigal Son Returns (Part 4)
After watching his brother fall asleep, Yui Hatori left the villa again and headed towards the party venue.
However, he did not go in, but waited quietly in a corner.
Not long after, a woman's voice was heard: "Sorry for the wait~"
Hatori Yuiichi looked at her and said, "No, I just got here too." Seeing that she was dressed coolly, he took off his coat and handed it to her, saying, "Put it on first, it's a bit chilly outside."
"Thank you~" Vermouth took the coat and put it on, then asked, "What did you want to ask me?"
Hatori Yuiichi said seriously, "Nothing. I just want to know why you are here."
Vermouth frowned slightly: "What? Auntie is not allowed to have a few friends?"
"You know that's not what I meant." Hatori Yui sighed.
Vermouth laughed. She said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm here just to fool the organization."
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Hatori Yui narrowed his eyes slightly and had a bad guess.
Sure enough, he heard Vermouth say, "Rum wants someone to replace Dong Yexu."
Hatori Yuiichi's eyes widened immediately: !!!
Vermouth crossed her arms and continued, "The mission to infiltrate the Dongye Group has been delayed, and Rum is getting anxious, so he came up with this idea. He wants to use my disguise technique to train a substitute for Dongye Xu."
Disguising as another person sounds difficult, but with her disguise and acting skills, it can be done. Hatori Yui deeply understands this.
He asked in a deep voice: "Don't I have the opportunity to get close to the laboratory? Why do I still need to..."
Vermouth said: "Rum doesn't know your identity."
Hatori Yuiichi was stunned. Rum was the second-in-command of the organization, and even he had heard of his name. How could he not know him?
Vermouth explained: "That's not the case. He knows you exist, but he doesn't recognize your face. Besides, Gin won't share his mission progress with him. So Rum doesn't know that someone from the organization is about to enter the Tono family."
Hatori Yui frowned in thought. So that's how it was. Rum thought no one had completed the mission, so he wanted to try a different approach. But, did this mean he was indirectly harming Higane Xu?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt his throat a little dry, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is the organization planning to kill Dong Ye Xu?" If so, he would have no way to face his senior.
Vermouth shook her head. "At least not now. No matter how perfect the disguise is, it's impossible to completely become that person. If we need his fingerprints, irises, or something like that, then the organization will never get what they want if they kill him."
Hatori Yui didn't feel relieved after hearing this. This was only temporary.
Seeing his heavy face, Vermouth patted his arm and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I'll try to delay it for a while. If Rum wants to take action, I'll tell you the first time." And even if Rum wants to kill someone, it depends on the boss's consent. Judging from the boss's current attitude towards the Dongye Group, she is still confident that she can protect Dongye Xu.
Hatori Yui nodded silently. He wanted to ask her if leaking information like this was considered betrayal, and wanted to ask her what she thought of the organization. But it wasn't the first time Auntie had been like this; she had told Gin a lot of information before without his knowledge.
He trusted his aunt, but he couldn't tell her about his agreement with Kudo Shinichi. If she knew his feelings, she would definitely keep it a secret, but she wouldn't necessarily help him. After all, there's a difference between lip service and outright betrayal. So before he could further confirm his aunt's attitude, he couldn't show any signs of rebellion in front of her.
So, he said in a deep voice: "I just don't want you to be sad. If there is really no other way, let's focus on the mission."
Vermouth raised her eyebrows and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will hate you if he finds out?"
Hatori Yuiichi's expression darkened slightly as he whispered, "If my identity is exposed, then it's time to separate."
Seeing him like this, Vermouth's mood also became a little depressed. She raised her hand and touched the hair on the back of his head, and said softly: "Auntie will help you and try not to let this happen again."
Hatori Yuiichi smiled gratefully at her.
\\
Dong Yexi walked around the venue but couldn't find Chris Wynyard, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.
She is a time bomb. She is nowhere to be found. Maybe she is in some corner preparing to cause trouble.
He thought about it and walked towards some secluded places.
Just then, he noticed two figures not far away. His pupils suddenly shrank and he immediately squatted down and hid behind the wall.
Even with just a glance, Dong Yexi recognized the two people. One was Chris, the one he had been looking for, and the other...
It turned out to be Hatori Yuiichi!
Dong Yexi couldn't believe it.
His back was pressed against the wall, his heart pounding, and his mind was blank.
Or maybe I saw it wrong?
With this thought in mind, he peeked over again. Familiar height, familiar looks...that person was Hatori Yui!
The distance was too far, so he couldn't hear their voices or see their expressions clearly. He could only see Chris patting Hatori Yuichi's arm and touching his neck, looking very intimate.
Seeing this scene, Dong Yexi hugged his knees and hid in the corner, his mind in a mess.
Who is Chris? She's Vermouth! A member of the Black Organization! How does Hatori know her?! She can't possibly be interested in him for a one-night stand, right?
Eliminating unreliable ideas, there is only one possibility left.
Hatori is the only one who is a member of the Black Organization!
Higashino Xi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He wondered: Since Hatori Yui was from the winery, did this mean his approach to him was premeditated? Was he lying to him?
Dong Yexi buried his head between his knees, his nose felt sore and his eyes instantly became moist.
Big liar!
Just as his tears were about to fall, he suddenly looked up and thought of Seiji Hatori.
That's not right. If Hatori Yui lied to him, what would happen to his brother? And Aunt Sharon, she...
Sharon... Sharon?
Dong Yexi silently took out his mobile phone and searched for "Chris Wynyard's mother", but only saw "Sharon Wynyard" on the encyclopedia.
Well, it turns out he has seen Vermouth a long time ago!
Dong Yexi put away his phone, feeling strangely angry. He'd cried for ages to Aunt Sharon, thinking of Hatori Yui's tragic life. Were these two people secretly laughing at him?!
But Jinger's illness is real, and his sole dependence on Hatori is also real. So what is going on?
Higashino Xi's tears completely stopped, and he began to analyze how Hatori Yui became a member of the organization.
He thought that what Vermouth said might be partly true.
The Hatori brothers lost their parents early, but without an aunt to help them, they were all adopted by a relative and grew up under their oppression. Later, their adoptive father discovered that he was ill and needed a kidney transplant. Only Shizue was a good match, so he tricked him into having a kidney transplant. By the time Hatori Yui found out, it was too late. Later, Shizue also developed uremia due to improper care, but his adoptive parents refused to treat him and even kicked him out. Hatori Yui had to look for opportunities to make money to save his brother. He accidentally joined an organization and was then spotted by Vermouth and trained...
All of the above came from Higashino Higashi's imagination. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.
At least the only time Hatori met him was definitely not arranged. It's also possible that the organization discovered that he knew them and had weaknesses, so they took the initiative to recruit him.
Damn, thinking this way, Hatori Yui is so pitiful!
Dong Yexi thought so and slapped himself the next second.
Wake up, you are the one being cheated now, don’t make excuses for him!
The crisp sound echoed in the air. Dong Yexi's whole body stiffened. He immediately stood up and hurried away from the other side.
He was afraid that Vermouth would find out and kill him.
However, the noise around them was too loud and the two of them didn't hear anything at all.
However, their conversation was over, and as they were heading in this direction, Dong Yexi left at the perfect time.
Let’s talk about Dong Yexi again. He ran all the way back to his room, slammed the door shut, then threw himself on the bed and wrapped himself in the quilt.
He originally just wanted to calm himself down, but perhaps the warmth of the quilt gave him a sense of security, and his emotions suddenly got out of control, and tears burst out without warning.
After that, he completely lost control and burst into tears.
“Wuwuwu~~Wahuawa~~Ahhh~~”
The crying was very miserable.
Fortunately, the wind was strong at the seaside, so even if someone heard it without covering themselves with a blanket, they would probably think it was the sound of the sea breeze.
Dong Yexi's tears flowed freely, soaking a large area of the quilt and pillow. After a long while, his voice was hoarse from crying, and he felt a little dizzy, so he finally emerged from the quilt.
Crying for too long will cause lack of oxygen.
He sniffed his red nose and thought: Damn Hatori Yuiichi, if you don't give me an explanation, I will... I will report you! I will tell Edogawa Conan your identity and have him arrest you!
Crying is also a physical activity. Dong Yexi was tired from crying and his head was confused. He fell asleep with tears in his eyes.
When I woke up again, it was already early morning.
Sleeping is indeed a good way to cure a broken heart. Dong Yexi feels much better now.
No, he hasn’t even been in a relationship, so how can he be heartbroken?
He thought angrily: No wonder Hatori Yui refused to date him. It's because he knew he was lying and felt guilty! He was so abominable. Now I don't even have the right to scold him!
Dong Ye Xi gritted his teeth secretly: Hatori Weiyi, if you don’t have a sufficient reason, I will show you how I will deal with you!
Hatori Yui, who had already fallen asleep, shivered in his sleep.
Dong Yexi had slept for several hours and was now very energetic, but he had to help with the wedding reception after dawn, so he had to sleep. So, he could only close his eyes and try to fall asleep.
In the darkness, the sound of the waves became clearer in his ears, and his mood began to become emo again.
How does that song go?
"Listen~ the sound of the sea crying..."①
He felt the song perfectly suited his current state. Knowing he'd likely been scammed, yet still wanting to give the other person a chance to explain, wasn't that just "not being clear-headed"?
well……
Dong Yexi turned over, opened his eyes and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window.
Hatori Yuiichi, please don't let me down! Otherwise I will be really sad and disappointed!
I don’t know how long it took, but when Dong Yexi was quietly admiring the moonlight and secretly repairing his mood, the system task was suddenly updated.
He jumped up from the bed in an instant.
All the sadness and grief disappeared immediately without a trace.
Nothing is more important than your life!
