Chapter 225 Miracle It seems she is a traitor
A month later, mid-July.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and there were fewer and fewer people wearing clothes on the street. Lin Xi also took out suspenders and shorts from her backpack and put them on.
A thin off-shoulder sweater was worn over the suspenders.
Her light brown hair fell down on her fair shoulders, she wore bean paste-colored lipstick, and had big honey-colored eyes, looking particularly youthful and beautiful.
She knocked on the half-open door and walked in only after hearing the person inside say "Come in".
Seeing a familiar face, the property manager inside was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Ms. Lin, why are you here again? Which house are you renovating this time?"
She was impressed by the owner.
It’s not because she is beautiful and loves to laugh, but because - come on, no one would not be impressed by the owner who directly bought two floors and then renovated the entire building!
In the eyes of property management, beauty is a gift, while financial resources are the gilded edge of beauty. Miss Lin, possessing both, is undoubtedly a favorite of heaven.
Moreover, she has such a good personality and is a good cook.
Every time I come over, I bring her homemade pastries!
The property manager's eyes were already looking expectantly at the bag in Lin Xi's hand.
As expected, Lin Xi smiled gently: "These are the cookies I made this morning. They are orange flavored. I hope you like them."
The property management hurriedly thanked him, his eyes curved with smiles.
She loves it so much.
Even when renovating her house, Ms. Lin always gets it done quickly, specifically hiring workers to do the renovations during working hours on weekdays so as not to disturb the neighbors.
He even took the initiative to pay for the landscaping of the community... Who wouldn't like such an owner?
Seeing the property manager accepting the gift, Lin Xi got down to business: "In the southeast corner, that small house at the very edge of the community... I've already bought it."
"I plan to renovate it soon."
The property manager was surprised.
If she remembered correctly, the house in the southeast corner...although it was a single-family house, it was very small and not in a very good location. Not only was there no parking, but it also required a detour to get to the main road.
For a wealthy homeowner like Miss Lin, even if she wanted to buy it for storage, the house would be too useless - it's quite a distance from where she lives now!
"May I ask what Ms. Lin wants to transform into this time?" the property manager asked curiously. "A laboratory?"
Lin Xi shook his head.
"No," she said, "that will be my new studio."
The property manager was stunned for a moment.
Hey, can Miss Lin also draw?
Indeed, if it is a studio, it is indeed more secluded and suitable for one to create.
but……
"Why don't you just buy a single-family house?" she finally asked, what she had been holding back for a long time. "Wouldn't it be more convenient to renovate that way?"
"Ah, because..." The girl hesitated for a moment, "Once you're used to living here, you probably don't want to move. Besides, it's better for the studio to be far away from where you live."
"You know, some pigments may contain toxic substances, and long-term inhalation is bad for human health."
I see.
The property manager nodded and completed the formalities quickly:
"Ms. Lin, I wish you lots of inspiration in your new studio!"
Lin Xi smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
.
The new studio was small, at least compared to where she lived.
As soon as the workers left, Lin Xi opened the window for ventilation, put the small robot on the ground, and began to clean up the studio.
The robot blinked, and Noah took over the authority and began to report the news to Lin Xi:
"Qianshan Group has been exposed for multiple crimes of disrupting financial management order, and the relevant personnel have been arrested..."
"The president of Taiping Bank has been arrested and is suspected of multiple crimes. According to insiders, he has close ties to the cult den that was busted by police last week..."
"The case of the Uetsuji couple, who died in an accident on June 10, 2004, on Street X in XX City, has been overturned. Police have confirmed it was a vicious homicide, and later implicated an illegal violent organization..."
"The Asayama Group has announced its dissolution, and a large amount of illegal assets have been confiscated. Ms. Asayama Rika, the sole heir to the Asayama family, has announced that the remaining assets will be reorganized and renamed..."
"A gardener took advantage of his position to steal from his master's family and was caught..."
"Gardener?" Lin Xi grumbled as he listened to the announcement, "Could it be Qiu Shanjiang? I thought Kamijutsuji Shin would let him go because he got the girl, but he got screwed anyway."
"Yes, that's Mr. Qiu Shan," Noah said. "Theft is a minor matter, but it's left a mark in the file, and it will be difficult for him to find a decent job in the future."
"How pitiful." Lin Xi said mercilessly.
Unexpectedly, the AI responded seriously, "Mr. Qiu Shan is not pitiful. Even if he was being guided, stealing other people's property is a fact."
"Mr. Uetsuji is just raising the stakes. It's up to Takumi Ooyama to decide whether or not to take the gamble."
Lin Xi was thoughtful: "Little Noah, I always feel..."
The little robot stopped moving and tilted its head towards Lin Xi.
"...You seem to have changed a little."
AI's sense of value is inherently chaotic. It was not until it was brought out of the tunnel by Lin Xi five years ago that it began to officially come into contact with the world.
If Noah at that time gave people the feeling of a little boy, and standing with Hiroki they formed a group of genius children, then the current Noah gives people the impression of a teenager who is growing up healthily.
It already has its own definition of good and evil.
The robot blinked its cartoon eyes on the display screen in a humane manner: "Is this a good change, Miss Lin?"
Lin Xi laughed and rubbed the robot's head: "Yes, you have grown up."
She picked up a wood saw and opened the thick wooden box beside her.
There were a bunch of bubble wraps of various sizes stuffed inside. Lin Xi patiently cleared them out one by one and took out the painting that was in the middle.
A forgery of the "X" painting by Shin Kamijutsuji.
Lin Xi placed it on the easel and looked at it carefully.
She stared at it for nearly five minutes.
Then she gave up.
Sorry, she really doesn't understand.
All I can say is that this painting was not created for people to appreciate.
She couldn't feel any sense of peaceful beauty from it. The painting completely abandoned classicism and took a big leap towards modernity.
If you stare at it for too long, it might even be a bit irritating to the eyes.
Lin Xi covered it with a white cloth and moved it to the corner of the studio.
It doesn't even look good as a decoration.
She was thinking about something else.
The last time she told Vermouth she could come see her anytime, so much time had passed and she still hadn't seen her.
Lin Xi guessed that she was looking for an identity.
Her copy still hadn't opened. Perhaps she hadn't triggered some conditions yet, Lin Xi thought.
It doesn't matter, she doesn't lack that little experience point.
She was just curious about how she got to know Vermouth.
After setting up his studio, Lin Xi sat on a high chair and put some paint on the palette.
After a long period of preparation, she painted the first stroke on the white canvas.
.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the earth.
Zhu Fujingguang stood in the CIA agent training camp and waved goodbye to the trainers.
Marshall nodded with satisfaction. "Your performance is much better than I expected. You're a natural born spy."
Zhu Fu Jingguang felt a little embarrassed.
He didn't know why, but it seemed that he knew a lot of knowledge without being taught by a teacher, and his body seemed to have participated in similar training a long time ago and was already accustomed to difficult movements and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
He had had a vague feeling about this before... He suspected that he had worked in a similar profession before.
Although his brain didn't remember, his body still remembered for him.
"Now, let me tell you about that organization." Marshall pulled out a stack of documents. "This is paper material, and it will be incinerated after reading. They have a very powerful hacker, so we usually only handle information about them on paper."
Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded and took it.
When they arrived at the office, Zhu Fujingguang opened the file bag and read through it carefully.
Marshall poured himself a glass of water, sat down, and took a sip: "After joining the organization, you will contact Punch directly."
Zhu Fujingguang: "Punch... Is she also our undercover agent?"
Marshall nearly spit out his tea: "Ahem, of course not. We have only reached a temporary cooperative relationship with her... However, you can give her limited trust. She knows your identity."
All the hidden scenes are clear.
It seems that Punch is a traitor.
"I understand." He nodded. "I'll try my best."
Marshall looked at his determined expression and felt something was wrong.
Did he misunderstand something?
Remembering Punch's special care for the person in front of him, he added:
"She's a dangerous person... well, very dangerous. Not only that, but she also has a particularly nasty personality and enjoys playing with her enemies like rats. She can disguise herself, and unlike those cheap rubber masks, her disguise is a terrifying ability that you wouldn't even notice even if you lived with her. Furthermore, she holds a high position in the organization. We suspect she's a second-generation member because she's so young, but even a core member like Gin rarely cares about her... It's all written in the information, you'll see."
Zhu Fu Jingguang obediently looked through the information in his hand.
After reading it, he asked in confusion: "Why did she cooperate with us?"
"Is there any weakness that we have grasped?"
Judging from the information, there is absolutely no need for Punch to betray the organization.
She was valued and... bad, so there was no reason for her to leave the dark world where she felt at home.
Marshall was speechless.
Punch's Achilles' Heel?
Isn't this sitting right in front of me?
She went to great lengths to rescue the person, even at the cost of betraying the organization and reaching an agreement with the CIA, and she also didn't allow the CIA to tell him about the organization - oh, they had already unilaterally breached the contract, but later Punch suddenly changed his mind and agreed to let the person return to the country - the person who made her compromise so much was none other than Morey Gaunt on the opposite side.
"...I guess so," Marshall said. "She's not a good person. Don't be...confident with her. What you need to do is use her to get more information, understand?"
Use her just like we used you.
Zhu Fu Jingguang responded, still a little confused.
Punch knew that he was an undercover agent, so why was he willing to let him trick him into giving him information?
Was Marshall too confident in him?
"Go ahead." Marshall didn't want to say much. He patted the young man on the shoulder and encouraged him: "With the level you have shown, plus Punch's care, you will be promoted soon. I believe in you."
Zhu Fu Jingguang: ...
He doesn't believe in himself.
Sure enough, Marshall was overconfident in him, wasn't he?!
Marshall, whatever he was thinking, said, "The fake identity has been arranged. You can give yourself a Japanese name. Your flight is tomorrow morning."
"Good luck, Mr. Gaunt."
