Chapter 178 Death Game What will happen next? She wondered...
She didn't have to wait long.
It clearly said "Temporarily closed", but the glass door was opened from the inside.
Revealing Toru Amuro's unhappy face.
"You never greet members before you meet them, Punch?"
Lin Xi slipped in: "I like to keep a little mystery."
"Also, I still like the way you used to call me senior, Bourbon."
The corners of Amuro Toru's mouth flattened.
This detective agency is where he usually handles things.
Although he didn't hide it from anyone and it wasn't a secret, but... he was still annoyed by the random interruptions from the organization.
Some people really have no sense of boundaries at all.
He watched her find the sofa in the living room and sit down on it with a swagger.
"Where's the coconut?" he asked knowingly. "Isn't it given away to someone else, Punch?"
He had just seen the white cat at Lin Xi's house a few nights ago.
Lin Xi didn't care about the probing tone in his words, nor did she try to hide it: "I can't help it. A kitten will get its fur dirty easily if it follows me."
"Lin Xi is a very considerate person, and her little sister is also very cute."
Toru Amuro moved his hands hanging at his sides.
He asked calmly, "Is she your subordinate?"
Lin Xi smiled: "What do you think?"
"You've been seeing her quite a bit lately, Bourbon."
Amuro Toru sneered, turned and walked into the inner room, and quickly brought out a glass of iced orange juice.
He handed the cup to Lin Xi: "You were the one who allowed her to interfere with my mission first, Senior."
The word "senior" was no longer respectful as before, but instead filled with malice. Malice, wrapped in a respectful title, was like poisoned candy.
Lin Xi took it and took a sip of the iced juice without any hesitation because of Amuro Toru's malice.
"She's quite amusing, isn't she?"
"Courageous but careful, adventurous, friendly to people and animals, beautiful, wealthy, and loving."
"And there is... a very sweet past."
The nonchalant look in her face as she said these words made Amuro Toru's jaw clench.
Especially when mentioning Lin Xi's terrible past, the adjectives used made Amuro Toru even more angry.
He knew that Punch had always been a bad person who took pleasure in other people's suffering, and he had no doubt that with her information channels, she would be able to know the identity and past of Miss Linxi "X".
But since that girl already knew so many things, things about the organization, making her one of the insiders who couldn't easily escape the darkness, why did he still speak of her in this tone - a mocking tone?
But after nearly five years undercover in the organization, he was no longer a rookie cop. Bourbon's identity had long since become fused with the police officer Rei Furuya, like a mask embedded in his face that could not be removed.
So he naturally smiled the same smile as Lin Xi on the sofa: "Haha...it's really interesting."
"I like people with secrets. Getting close to her and uncovering her secrets step by step is a truly pleasurable process."
Lin Xi: “…”
She felt a little chilled by Amuro Toru's laughter.
To be honest, she originally wanted to use Punch's identity to endorse Lin Xi, blurring the identity of "Lin Xi" into her own informant, so that Toru Amuro would not investigate her for no reason.
Now it seems that it has had the opposite effect?
It seems that Toru Amuro is more interested in "Lin Xi".
She took a sip of orange juice to cover up her mistake and avoided Amuro Toru's provocative gaze.
Really, ever since this guy got the code name and joined the intelligence team, he has become completely different from the junior who used to do whatever she said.
Now it is Bourbon who doesn't agree with what she says and is secretly going against her.
It was a pity that she asked Rum to promote him.
She stopped talking about herself and asked, "Have you read the mission information Gin sent you?"
When it comes to the mission, Toru Amuro also slightly retracted his aggressiveness and sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Xi.
This place was originally where his detective agency used to consult clients when receiving commissions, and Lin Xi's seat was where the clients sat.
"Of course," he said. "I think we can start with the auction staff. I've collected some information..."
"No need." Lin Xi interrupted him, a smile appearing on her face that made Amuro Toru feel uneasy.
"I already have a plan on how to sneak in."
.
Three hours later, on a luxury cruise ship.
"Is this the plan you mentioned?" Amuro Toru gritted his teeth.
He was wearing a somewhat mismatched outfit at the moment, with a deep V-neck that extended all the way to the abdomen, revealing his honey-colored chest and abdominal muscles.
Not only is the design of the top extremely exaggerated, but the pants are also low-waisted tights. The hip line can be vaguely seen from the side, and the buttocks are also outlined by the tight pants.
It's the kind of clothes that you can tell at first glance are for a gigolo.
Lin Xi - now a beautiful woman in her thirties - was leaning on the sofa, her slender thighs exposed from her high-slit purple skirt, casually resting on the edge of the sofa, and her silver-white high heels were pointing directly at the man because of her crossed legs.
She spoke, her voice completely inconsistent with the image of the body's owner: "The status of a VIP is much more useful than that of a waiter."
"A male host who's good at seizing opportunities to cling to power is probably better suited to connecting with others than a waiter."
"What's wrong, Bourbon? Are you not satisfied with the clothes I chose for you?"
"This dress is specially made according to your size."
His tone was full of gloating.
Amuro Toru sneered: "Even if it's not a male host, replacing it with a lover with a little status can also achieve the effect you just mentioned."
"Punch, are you bringing your personal preferences into this mission?"
Lin Xi was not afraid of him at all: "So what? Are you dissatisfied? I am the one responsible for this mission."
"I pulled you from Rum's clutches specifically to partner with me."
"Why, Bourbon, are you shy? Are you going to run away because of your untasteful clothes?"
She swung her feet with a liveliness unbecoming of her age, and with her face in her hands, she looked with interest at Bourbon who stood before her.
Under her naked gaze, Toru Amuro calmed down with amazing restraint.
Then he put on a fake smile and said, "How could that be? Miss Punch wants me to serve you, so I must satisfy you."
As he spoke, he leaned closer, his blue-gray eyes fixed on Lin Xi, his masculine aggression naturally revealed.
Lin Xi leaned back subconsciously, and was trapped between the sofa and her body. The hand that was supporting her face was grabbed by the man and pressed against the back of the sofa.
Oops... seems like I've gone a bit too far?
Lin Xi thought belatedly.
The scent of the men's perfume that she had asked Amuro Toru to spray on her just now enveloped her. The light but not negligible aroma of green tea and citrus was very subtle, with a slight bitterness mixed with a sweet temptation. It was more suitable for Amuro Toru than the clothes he was wearing at the moment.
The best time to retreat had passed. Her hands were restrained, and several techniques for subduing the enemy in this position flashed through her mind, but if she used those methods against Amuro Toru, she would be at a disadvantage.
But Lin Xi didn't have much experience in dealing with such situations. So when Amuro Toru approached her with his eyes fixed on her, all he saw was a flicker of confusion in the woman's eyes.
It was a look of bewilderment that was completely unbefitting of the person in front of him, and reminded Toru Amuro of how Punch looked when he first saw her—a girl who was too young, with her white cat, standing obediently beside Gin, greeting the three of them.
The memory of his past image suddenly gave Toru Amuro the illusion that he was bullying an underage girl, even though the person in front of him was wearing a low-cut, high-slit long skirt and her hair was tied in a bun at the back of her head, giving her the image of a married woman.
He paused.
But the pause did not ease the atmosphere between the two. Instead, it became more confrontational and ambiguous.
Because Toru Amuro was too close to Lin Xi at this moment.
He was so close that not only his scent enveloped Lin Xi, but even his golden hair was about to fall on her face.
Lin Xi had already put down her crossed legs. Although the specially tailored tights by Toru Amuro were exaggerated in style, the fabric was comfortable. At this moment, they were sticking to Lin Xi's thighs, squeezing her slit skirt into a dangerous curve.
...The excitement brought by the narrowing of the distance between men and women is no less than the excitement brought by completing a dangerous task.
Lin Xi wrote this out of inspiration.
She chuckled, and her free hand slid up the man's shoulder, caressing his neck affectionately: "Dear, it's still daytime, are you already impatient?"
She didn't use Punch's voice, but the soft and sweet voice of Mrs. Mizutani.
This is a reminder, reminding Toru Amuro of the role he is playing at the moment - they are Punch and Bourbon who play the socialite Sayuri Mizutani and her lover Soratani Taiyo. It is also a warning to advance in order to retreat - such a close distance is only suitable for Mrs. Mizutani and her little lover, not for Punch and Bourbon who are working together to complete the task.
Amuro Toru understood her hint.
However, although he knew in his heart that the wise choice was to retreat now, for some inexplicable reason he was unwilling to let Punch go so easily.
"Madam." He smiled and moved closer. Lin Xi leaned on the sofa, with nowhere to retreat, and could only let the hot breath from his breath hit her cheek.
"Isn't it my duty to serve you all day long?" The few strands of golden hair on his forehead completely swept across Lin Xi's face - a face that had transformed without any disguise - making her tilt her head uncomfortably.
She was a little bit impatient, and the desire to knock this guy down became stronger and stronger.
But Amuro Toru seemed to sense the danger. He glanced at her clenched hands with a half-smile and pulled away: "I am happy to serve you when you need me."
The evil smile on his face made Lin Xi clench his fists.
Very good, the atmosphere is so tense on the first day of the mission...
Lin Xi wondered what the next mission would be like, she didn't even dare to think about it.
