In a small lounge at the headquarters base, as soon as he entered the room, Xian joked with the people sitting in the room in a tone of watching the fun. Because of what happened last night, several senior officials in the organization are now gathered here.
"Although it's true, it's a bit irresponsible to say it in this tone, Finlandia." Vermouth sat on the single sofa with a bad look on her face.
After all, a laboratory was blown up for no reason, and it was during a period of great change when everyone was very busy. No one would be happy if such a thing happened at such a critical juncture.
The police and FBI arrived too suddenly last night, and the organization didn't get the news at all. The police also acted very quickly, and when the organization's people arrived, they could only see the bombed laboratory.
Xian certainly didn't know that the police were going to do such a big thing this time. He just stayed up all night last night and happened to run into the news reported by the spy in the laboratory, so he decided to join in the fun. Poor spy thought that as long as he reported the news, Xian would send people to rescue them.
They had arrived not much earlier than the explosion, and the organization had become much more low-key recently due to internal changes. It was unlikely that other organizations were seeking revenge, so it could only be that the public security wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, which was also easy to guess. Xian, who had guessed this, was even less willing to help, and directly found a place with an excellent view to watch.
Gin arrived later. It was obvious that he had the same idea as Xi'an. With the tacit understanding of childhood, he easily found the place where Xi'an might be. However, he was the head of the action team after all, so of course he called others, but they all arrived after Gin, and by then there was no trace of the public security.
Although he still had many doubts in his mind, Xian still replied to the gentleman's email as soon as possible.

One possibility is that they really didn't meet
[In addition, according to what Bourbon said, the other party seems to be well-trained, and it is reasonable to suspect that the other party should be the Japanese public security. ——Finndia]
"The Intelligence Team is mainly responsible for this matter." Gin said coldly. The Action Team has always been responsible for execution. Even if they need to do something, it is only when there is sufficient intelligence. They will not do tasks without direction.
"You mean, you didn't run into those guys who looked like cops?" Vermouth looked suspicious and glanced at Vodka who was standing behind Gin.
Originally thought that Gin, who recovered his memory halfway, should still be somewhat loyal to the organization. Xian didn't expect that he could simply turn a blind eye to the public security. Unexpectedly, he would be so decisive the first time?
Gin just sneered, as if there was no need to explain. "If he's not in the car, then he must be outside." Xian's eyes curved, "Gin called me last night, and we watched the fun together."
"Got it." Xian pursed his lips to indicate that he understood. Although the organization was in trouble, the mission still had to be done.
Come on, just be happy in your heart. Xian continued to complain about Bourbon in his heart, saying that he made such a big move without paying attention.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Belmode's voice was a little low, with a distinct chill. It would be best if she didn't catch any of those guys.
The organization has been quiet recently, and people feel that a few teams can bully the organization. That's really a shame. It's just a medium-sized laboratory. She might not have taken it so seriously in the past, but this is an extraordinary period... Belmode thought maliciously.
Damn it, why do things always go wrong at times like this! Bourbon had just taken over the intelligence team, and he hadn't planned to let him get involved in the experimental team's affairs yet. He would only let him handle some of the work when necessary.
"You were there last night?" Vermouth laughed in anger. Being there means participating, so why did this person act like it had nothing to do with him when he walked in?
Don't you want them to know that you were there? Xian blinked. That certainly couldn't happen as Gin wished. Don't even think about leaving him alone.
"..." Vermouth had no choice but to believe it. Because what happened last night happened too suddenly, she didn't collect much useful information at all. The only few surveillance videos were of the group of people just entering the laboratory. As for what happened afterwards, it was still unknown.
Hmm? Gin's Porsche was seen? Xian raised his eyebrows calmly. This is not easy to deal with. Gin didn't bring vodka last night. I think he rushed there as soon as he received the news and didn't have time to order vodka. So what should Gin say? Xian turned his head and looked at Gin.
Xian thought about it and added this sentence at the end. After all, this incident happened so suddenly and strangely that it was hard not to suspect that it was done by the police.
"No way, Gin? Could it be that you and the cops are doing something unknown to others?" Bourbon said sarcastically. But he was already speculating in his heart that maybe Gin really watched them leave last night.
In fact, Xian didn't know why the police had nothing better to do than to attack the organization's laboratory. If they needed information from the laboratory, wouldn't it be easier to steal it using other methods? If they broke in directly with violence, what would be the possibility of obtaining intelligence?
But it seems that Gin and Finlandia really don't know. Vermouth doesn't doubt their loyalty, not to mention Gin. As for Finlandia, according to her observation, although she has been able to determine that Finlandia is not completely loyal to the organization, she is not to the point of colluding with those organizations. It's just a routine suspicion, hoping to find out something she doesn't know.
"According to the report last night, you were not in the car at all, Gin." Vermouth continued to insinuate.
"This incident must have been premeditated, and the identities of those intruders must not be simple." Bourbon, who was sitting in front of the small bar, analyzed with a serious face, "According to the latest surveillance video, although those people are dressed quite formally, their skills are well-trained. They don't look like a black organization at all, but more like those cops." As he said this, he showed an expression of great disgust.
In such an obvious place of the organization's base, and with Vodka present, Gin and Xi'an must not be too intimate, so after reminding him of the mission, Gin got in the Porsche and left. Xi'an originally wanted to drive back, but he received an unexpected email.
"I was there." Gin looked very confident. He crossed his legs, holding a half-burned cigarette in one hand, and admitted that he was there. "But when I got there, it was empty."
Now that Rum is in trouble, the matter should have been slowly handed over to Bourbon, but considering his qualifications, matters concerning the experimental group were not handed over directly to him and have always been handled by her.
This matter originally had nothing to do with him, so Xian just reported what he knew and briefly described the whole process and sent it to the gentleman.
"Bourbon is still as well-informed as ever." Xian didn't want to say anything about this, but just looked at Vermouth, "Aren't you going to say anything about this?"
Come on, you're right, and you acted really well. If you don't know, you'd really be a good member of the organization, Xian complained silently in his heart.
"Finlandia." After leaving the base, Gin called out to Xian who was about to get in the car, "There is a mission this afternoon."
"It seems that there are very few clues." Bourbon sighed in a bad mood.
Although he would have talked nonsense in the past, he would never doubt Gin's loyalty to the organization. However, since he reunited with Jingguang, the information he got from his childhood friends has overturned his understanding of Gin and Finlandia. Now he can probably accept anything they do that he used to think was ridiculous.
This guy! Belmode narrowed her eyes dangerously. He really didn’t need to be responsible for the lab incident this time. Even if there would be a punishment, it wouldn’t be serious. But she was different…
She just came out of her husband's place! How long has it been?! Less than a year, and she has been making mistakes and neglecting her duties continuously. If this continues... Vermouth's face is very ugly.
This is not releasing water, this is directly releasing it into the sea.
[Finlandia, some minor changes happened in the organization last night, and I need to know the reasons.]
Seeing that the main issue had been resolved, Gin naturally had no intention of staying any longer. Vodka naturally followed Gin and left, leaving only two members of the intelligence team in the room with different thoughts in their minds.
It was an email from that gentleman. Xian frowned. Logically, that gentleman should ask Vermouth, and there was no reason for him to ask someone who had nothing to do with the laboratory.
Another possibility is that they really fulfilled their promise and did nothing about it, allowing the police to leave right under their noses.
Vermouth: ...? Bourbon: ...? "...Finlandia." Gin narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xian with some warning.
Gin sneered, "Don't look at it. Something happened unexpectedly last night. I didn't bring any vodka. I drove the car myself."
"Well... I was barely there." Xian leaned back nonchalantly. "To put it simply, when we arrived, they had already retreated. Because the lab exploded just after I arrived, I didn't see any suspicious people coming in or out." He didn't need to go into detail, just deny what happened last night. No one would keep asking whether they were there or not anyway.
"In that case, thank you for your help." Xian stretched out his arms and stood up. "I have something else to do, so I won't keep you company any longer. I'm leaving first." After saying that, he left first.
But to his surprise, the gentleman's reply was not about what happened last night, but about Bourbon.
Vermouth can easily find surveillance fragments of this level, and she will definitely be able to recognize the differences between last night's intruders. Instead of waiting for Vermouth to take action, it is better to let her reveal the truth first.
"After all, I don't need to be responsible." Xian sat down next to Gin, looking at Vermouth with a smile in his eyes, "Whoever is responsible will have a headache."
After he conducted a preliminary investigation using Bourbon's authority after the incident, they should not have discovered the existence of Shuichi Akai at present. Next, they just need to shift the focus of the matter and make them ignore the possibility of someone like Shuichi Akai.
There is no general manager in the experimental group. After all, the organization is engaged in different experiments at the same time, and each major project will have a general manager. Those things involving the core of the organization are directly reported to that gentleman by the general manager, and the remaining unimportant small experiments are all in the charge of Rum.
I thought it would take more grinding to achieve this effect. Xian glanced at Gin secretly, a trace of deep thought flashing across his eyes.
"..." Vermouth's usual smile had long since disappeared from her face. She said gloomily, "I will report this matter. Everything will be decided by you, sir." Then she looked up at Gin and said in a cold voice, "Also, someone reported that they saw Gin's Porsche at the scene. Shouldn't some people give some explanation for this?"
Anyway, the laboratory has exploded, so whether they got the information or not is none of Xian's business. He is not interested in knowing such things.
But then again, when Gin went up to the roof last night, the laboratory had just exploded, right? The police must have evacuated at that time, which means that when Gin went downstairs, he might have just run into the police evacuating from the laboratory door? But Gin went upstairs directly to meet him. Xian's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he had discovered something incredible.
It's so obvious... Are you afraid that others don't know that you are a police officer? I have clearly asked them to be more restrained.
He did not participate in the operation last night, but only received a report of the success of the operation at the end. However, as the leader of the organization, Bourbon still found some surveillance footage. Although the police officers in the surveillance footage did disguise themselves as other black organizations as planned, their well-trained advance and retreat could still be seen. This made Bourbon very helpless.
Vodka nodded awkwardly. By the time he got the news, it was already this morning.
Finlandia is there too? Bourbon was slightly surprised. It seems that last night's operation was really safe in some ways. If Gin and Finlandia both went there in the end...
What do you think of Bourbon?
Xian: ...? How does he view Bourbon? Is it important? Xian realized that this might be an opportunity. Although the gentleman could not completely trust him, his evaluation of Bourbon would definitely have an impact on him, and it might even affect whether Bourbon's status could be further improved in the future.
Thinking of this, Xian curled the corners of his mouth with interest and started typing on his mobile phone.
[Although Bourbon has been in the organization for a short time, his ability is unquestionable. I believe he can handle more things well. But he is still young and his loyalty needs further investigation. If you want to trust him, please consider it carefully. - Finndia]
