Chapter 44: The Persecution of Lei

Akiyama Kanade felt a gun pointed at his abdomen.

The man was forced to kneel on one knee, holding the edge of the bed with one hand, and the other hand came out from under his armpit. The gun in his hand was already loaded, and his dark green eyes were cold enough to kill dregs.

If eyes could turn into knives, Amoruso would have probably turned into a hedgehog by now, right?

"Are you going to betray the organization?"

Amoruso smiled, without showing any sign of panic.

"Now here's the question for you, Amoruso. What do you mean?"

"Couldn't it be that I'm attracted to you?" Amoruso smiled and smoothed Lei's long hair, his tone soft and tender, "After all, you're so beautiful."

Lei investigated Amoruso's case. This man is a playboy and has affairs with many women, but it is his principle not to touch people in the organization.

In his own words - this can easily lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble.

So Lei was naturally unmoved by Amoruso's words at this time.

Lei counted the time in his mind and thought it should be about time.

Amoruso's phone beeped with an incoming email.

"You'd better take a look," said Ley.

Amoruso stared at him for a while, loosened his grip on his body, picked up his phone, opened the email and browsed it under Lei's gaze.

His expression didn't seem to change.

Lei stood up and looked at Amoruso. "If this thing is given to the boss, it will probably give you a headache, right?"

Ley, who was sent to the public relations department, was not idle. As an ace undercover agent of the FBI, he had the ability to turn the tide no matter where he was.

The email in Amoruso's hand contained the key to his comeback - a piece of evidence that could prove that Amoruso's men had falsified accounts and embezzled a large amount of public funds from the organization.

In the case of Akiyama Kanade, Ray's level of disgust reaches a new level.

Although he had not expected that the little tricks he had arranged before could do anything to Lei, he just thought that the more he hated him, the more money he could make. He did not expect that this man could go to such an extent under such circumstances.

Isn't he busy dealing with all kinds of rich women every day? Where does he find the time to do these things?

Is he really an ordinary human being?

"You are much more capable than I thought."

Lei raised the corner of his lips, "fifty fifty——"

"Then let's talk business." Amoruso walked to the other side of the bedroom and sat on the sofa, his long legs bent casually, his posture casual and romantic. He pressed the bell on the table and motioned Lei to sit opposite.

"Relax, don't be so nervous - well, you don't look nervous to me."

The maid knocked on the door and pushed it open, placing the tray on the table before bowing and leaving without looking around. On the tray was a bottle of Romanee-Conti and two red wine glasses.

"You have already proved your ability to me," Amoruso put his messy half-long hair back with one hand, then picked up the bottle, poured the beautiful red wine into the glass, and raised his glass to Ley, "I will not test you with these boring tricks again, dear Mr. FBI."

He smiled, a bright and cheerful smile, like a college student preparing to invite his friends to a social gathering.

Lei's pupils shrank slightly, but he immediately calmed down.

"I don't understand what you mean?"

If the other party was really sure that he was the FBI, he would not have reacted so calmly.

Amoruso pushed another glass of red wine toward him.

"Isn't it? Relying on getting close to women in exchange for the opportunity to join the organization and get promoted - this despicable behavior is very FBI." The man's amethyst-like eyes curved slightly, smiling, "You know I came from there, and I am very familiar with their methods."

The red wine slid down the wall of the glass and fell into his throat. Then, his Adam's apple rolled, Amoruso continued, "Confusing right and wrong and fabricating charges. These are things the FBI is very good at." He smiled and said, "So if I want to turn you into the FBI, it's actually very simple."

Lei's expression was colorful and indescribable.

It turned out that the other party didn't know he was an FBI agent, but they tried to frame him as an FBI undercover. If it was another organization, it would be fine, but he really was an FBI undercover agent. When they were framing him, Amoruso might find out that - oh, no need to bother, he could just do it.

In this way, the two sides temporarily reached a tie.

Ley has evidence that the other side's men have cooked the books, and Amoruso can trap Ley as an FBI undercover at any time, but what either side has can't constitute a fatal blow to the other.

After reaching a balance, they could finally have a good chat.

Lei picked up the glass of red wine in front of him. The red wine swayed in the glass, creating ripples. He raised the glass to his lips and took a sip.

"Can you tell me what you want to do?"

The man opposite raised his eyebrows and smiled wider. He leaned forward and put his hands on the table. "Hey, Lei, let's act out a play together—"

Lei was stunned. "A play?"

He was increasingly confused about Amoruso's way of thinking.

"That's right!" Amoruso snapped his fingers. "You were raped by me, and you couldn't stand it, so you betrayed the organization."

The other party's excited tone didn't seem fake. Lei took a sip of wine to calm down. "...Can you tell me why you do this?"

Amoruso continued to smile without any gloom, "Because everyone knows that I am bisexual and I fall in love with every woman I meet, so this will make me more credible."

"…So why do you do this?"

The ace FBI agent has been undercover for many years and has never heard of such an outrageous request.

"Of course, it's for the sake of proactive attack." Amoruso's smile faded. When he wasn't smiling, his peach blossom eyes lost their sparkling charm and looked like a cold pond frozen deep in an underwater cave. "Those rats that sneaked into the organization are so annoying. I don't have the patience to find them one by one. I prefer to lure them out of their holes and then kill them with one strike."

"You want me to pretend to defect and join the police? They are not fools. I just killed one of their undercover agents. They won't believe me easily." Lei said.

"What if you can convince them that you have enough chips?" Amoruso stared into his eyes. "Don't worry, I will help you with this. You just need to cooperate with me in this play, and I will give you a way to contact the police. Then you can lead them to the designated location in the name of intelligence exchange for the witness protection program, and the rest is my business."

"I know you are eager to climb up the ladder. As long as this operation goes smoothly, I guarantee that your position in the organization will rise to a higher level."

This is a very tempting condition, and Akiyama Kanade believes that Lei will be tempted.

He added, "I am willing to ask for your opinion because I admire your ability very much. Otherwise, as long as I give an order, you can't disobey it. Lei, you are a smart person, you know how to choose-"

Lei was silent for a moment. "I can cooperate with this plan, but I can also achieve my goal by taking the intelligence to contact the police... I don't think it's necessary to carry out this robbery." He said this word with great difficulty.

Amoruso showed a look of disapproval. "You also said that the police are not fools. Will they believe that you defected for no reason? It's just a small sacrifice for the organization. The organization has given you so much, don't you want to give something back?"

Lei couldn't figure out what the organization had given him.

Amoruso continued to persuade him, "And it's just acting. I won't really do anything to you. I just want other people in the organization to believe that I have done a lot of unforgivable things to you..."

"Make the rest of the organization believe it?" Lei repeated.

"Of course. The police will definitely not plant only one undercover agent in the organization. We must ensure that this person, or some unknown undercover agent, hears the news and passes it on to the police. Only then can your defection be a logical outcome."

Lei understood the reason, but he still felt that Amoruso was targeting him.

The other party's mention of the FBI undercover agent might not be a casual remark, but rather he really has some suspicions about him. Otherwise, how could he choose the FBI among so many organizations?

In that case, this action is also a test for him. Then he cannot retreat.

"Why me?" Ley asked.

"It's trust in you," Amoruso said meaningfully, "You killed that undercover police officer, which means you definitely can't be a member of the police, right?"

The second half of the sentence seemed unfinished—so who exactly are you?

He really does suspect me, Lei thought.

The ultimate purpose of Akiyama Kanade in formulating this plan is certainly not to deal with the public security. On the contrary, he wants to let Amoruso, who poses a major threat to the public security, die at the hands of Blue Orange Wine, so that Blue Orange Wine can gain more trust from the public security.

If his identity is exposed in front of Matsuda's camp in the future, he will have more excuses.

Tsk... Now that I put it like that, I sound like the kind of scumbag who would try to make compensation and beg for forgiveness after cheating on his wife.

In short, in this plan, the character who can lure out the public security is the key, and Akiyama Kanade must choose someone who cannot be an undercover to participate.

Lei is just the right person. He has a quick mind and wants to climb up the ladder. At the same time, Akiyama Kanade hates him. He can have some fun while completing his plan. Perfect.

If all goes well, the police might be able to arrest him and vent Scotland's anger.

"This plan cannot be known to anyone other than you and me, do you understand?" Amoruso warned. "If I find out there is a third party involved, I guarantee you will go to hell faster than those police officers."

Lei nodded to show that he understood. "When do we start planning?"

"Valentine's Day is only half a month away. Let's make it that day. It's a good day."

After drinking half of the wine in the glass, Lei stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Amoruso.

Lei looked at him in confusion.

Amoruso: "You know we're going to act out this scene where I'm robbing you, right?"

Lei was silent.

Amoruso checked the time. "It's only been over an hour. I don't want anyone to think I'm incompetent."

Lei: “…”

"Then when do I leave?"

Amoruso stroked his chin. "It will take at least three days and three nights, right? I'll have someone bring you food. Then you can just lie on the bed and act weak and feeble, okay? I specifically found out who loves gossip and moved them to the villa."

He said seriously, "Don't be fooled by the fact that these people appear to be well-trained on the surface. They are very good at talking behind the scenes. I heard all the stories about Gin and Bermode from them. So you must act well," he smiled, "If you can't act well, I can only pretend to be real. I hate it most when others ruin my plans, do you know?"

Lei's face was expressionless.

"When I have nothing to do these two days, I will fight with you here, just as a daily exercise. Don't use medicine to heal the bruises on your body before others see them."

"Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing," Amoruso said, smiling as he took out a small knife. "Before you leave, remember to cut two lines on your thighs to make it look like you can't walk. This is very important."

Akiyama Kanade once again regretted not taking a picture of Lei's expression at that time.
