Chapter 62: Mocktails, Food and Cats - Getting Familiar with Each Other…
The black-haired young man touched the bandage.
"It had been eleven years since you left... At that time, the organization's activities were mainly concentrated in the United States, attracting the attention of local authorities. Akai Tsutomu was an undercover agent sent by them. He was very capable, but after two years of undercover work, his true colors were exposed."
Having said this, he seemed a little regretful and sighed.
"At that time, I was just like Gin in terms of organizational matters. I liked to do everything myself."
"While hunting down that traitor, he blinded my left eye."
The young man reached behind his head and slowly untied the bandage.
A scar was revealed, stretching from the lower eyelid to the forehead, spanning the entire left eye.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and wiped her hands that were wet with condensed water vapor with the cloth on the ice bucket, and gently touched the young man's left eye.
The young man lowered his head obediently.
The scar is uneven.
"Why don't you use a prosthetic eye?"
The young man shook his head.
“You can, but I don’t want to.”
If an ordinary person does not insert an artificial eye in time after removing his eyeball, the eye socket will lose support, which may cause the eye socket to sink, leading to facial asymmetry and greatly affecting the appearance.
But Rum, who was injected with [Dead Water], has remained the same for ten years, and his face remains the same as when Lin Xi first saw him.
"He was already at the end of his strength at that time. I was not paying attention and was stabbed by him - the knife was originally aimed at my neck." said the young man.
"Then I shot him in the heart with a pistol."
Lin Xi withdrew his hand and repeated, "'You shot him in the heart with a pistol.' Hasn't he been confirmed dead?"
"We were at the edge of a cliff," the young man said calmly. "He grabbed my collar and tried to pull me over. I ended up shooting him, and he fell."
He said it lightly, but in fact, just thinking about the scene he described was enough to make people terrified.
Lin Xi was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry. I wasn't there at the time."
They were all in the main timeline, so she thought that no matter what happened, they would be able to survive safely in her timeline.
And if she were there, no matter how many times she went back, she would never let them get hurt.
The young man was speechless. The person before him was disguised, but her emotions were still simple, clear, and easy to understand. It was easy to tell that she had gone from happy to depressed.
He thought for a moment and said, "No need to apologize, Boss. We all knew you would show up."
You will always be waiting for us at some intersection in the future.
Time will always bring us together.
"Oh, really," Lin Xi took a sip of orange juice to cover up and waved her hand, "I'm here for serious business this time!"
She pulled out a list. It was the complete version she had hacked from the public security database, not the abridged version given to her by Amuro Toru.
"Is there anyone on this list who cannot die for the time being?"
The young man took the list and browsed it from top to bottom.
The people Lin Xi chose were all very influential people, either rich, powerful, famous, or all three.
After reading it, he said, "You can do whatever you want. Don't worry. I can help you, too."
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow: "Will it affect your work?"
The first principle of being a good boss is not to do more harm than good to your employees.
"No." The young man said affirmatively.
The organization doesn't make money from this at all.
Some of these people did have business dealings with the organization. But when they die, others will soon take their place. Ultimately, these people are just like leeks that have been cut; after one crop is cut, another will grow.
"OK~ That's no problem." Lin Xi said easily.
"But, Boss, can I know the reason?" the young man asked.
Generally speaking, Lin Xi is a very indifferent person.
Xianyu will not make himself work overtime for no reason.
It's rare for Xianyu to take the initiative to work.
"Well, there's actually no reason?" Lin Xi thought for a moment. "If I had to say it, it's because they did something bad and didn't pay me taxes, and I'm quite possessive of their lives, so I have to go out and enforce justice on them..."
The young man's eyes became subtle.
The BOSS hasn't changed at all. As soon as he opens his mouth, his divine golden aura can't be concealed at all.
He clearly knew every word, but every time he put them together it sounded like nonsense.
Receiving the gaze, Lin Xi laughed out loud: "...Of course I was joking. If you must ask me how it happened, it's a long story. Ahem, the story starts with an ordinary assassination mission I took on..."
"Ryuji Yoshiki?" the young man asked gently.
"Yeah. And then, due to a series of events, I discovered the massive criminal network behind him," Lin Xi raised his arms exaggeratedly. "In order to safeguard world peace and protect humanity from harm, I decided to strike back at them with the iron fist of justice—"
The young man was amused.
When he smiles, there are two dimples on his face. When he smiles, the sense of distance completely disappears, and people can't help but feel close to him.
Seeing him smile, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile too: "That's it."
"Hmm... Boss, actually, Yoshiki Ryuji's mission was issued by the Public Security Bureau."
With a snap, Lin Xi's ice tongs fell into the ice bucket.
"……ah?"
???
Little question mark, do you have many friends?
The organization's assassination mission was issued by the public security.
Is there any joke in the world that is more ridiculous than this?
Amuro Toru, you are really getting two salaries for one job now.
"The organization has a public bounty website," Rum explained with a smile. "Anyone, whether in the shadows or in the open, can post a commission. After screening, these commissions will be posted on the task bar on the intranet, and members can accept them."
"People from the public security department will occasionally post commissions on it. The information of the person who posted the task is strictly confidential unless they insist on making it public."
The young man shook the glass and watched the red wine slide down the wall of the glass.
“Sometimes, even the notorious police have things they can’t do publicly.”
"So that's how it is." Lin Xi said.
What kind of life do people in the public security department have? They know that someone is a villain, but they cannot do it themselves due to various reasons and have to entrust others to do it.
Look at the organization, look at her, this is a bright future.
"Oh, by the way, do we have undercover agents on other people's sides?" Lin Xi suddenly thought of something and asked.
How can they feel comfortable when others always send talents to them? They have to reciprocate.
"...That must be the case." The young man nodded.
"FBI?"
"have."
"CIA?"
"have."
"MI6?"
"have."
"Um... Public Security?"
"Yes." The young man's voice was filled with laughter. "All official organizations have them. It's just that their status varies. Some are more core, some are less so. The ones you mentioned, our people happen to be deeply rooted in them."
"Wow, you're amazing." Lin Xi exclaimed sincerely, "Rum, I was right about you."
What's this?
This is the boss’s favorite chosen worker!
He has strong business skills, a sense of responsibility, and is also a top student.
Even the number of undercover agents must be included.
Lin Xi had never felt that the organization's future was so bright.
The more she looked at Rum, the more she felt that he seemed to be glowing.
Holy light.
"BOSS..."
"Um?"
The young man said helplessly: "You can't drink red wine with ice."
So please stop putting ice cubes in my glass.
…
After chatting with Rum, Lin Xi went out in a leisurely manner and met the little girl Tita at the door.
Tita: "Young Master! You..."
"Hello, Tita." Lin Xi said with a smile, using her natural voice.
"Oh, sorry!" Tita blushed.
Oops, I recognized the wrong person again.
Tita, oh Tita, you've gone too far! You mistook the distinguished guest for the young master, and the young master for the guest!
Next time I must learn how to identify disguises!
However, this distinguished guest is actually a girl?
The sound is very nice.
Just as she was distracted, the person in front of her smiled and spoke again:
"Thank you for the juice! It's delicious~"
"Ah, no, you're welcome, this is what I should do!"
Oh my god, she's so polite!
Tita's face turned even redder.
"Are you going out? Please follow me here!"
"No need, just go and do your own thing, Tita." Lin Xi swept his eyes across the villa and thought to himself, I might be more familiar with this place than you are.
The structural diagram Noah had given him wasn't intuitive enough. Standing inside, Lin Xi finally felt the overwhelming sense of familiarity.
Not only are the styles exactly the same, but the preferences are also exactly the same, as if Lin Xi had personally participated in decorating the house.
"This is Tita's duty! Please let me lead the way for you!" The maid calmed down for a moment, but her vigilance prevailed again.
Even distinguished guests are not allowed to wander around the house casually!
Lin Xi nodded with amusement and let her take her out.
.
The hidden alley was very quiet.
Only wild cats were active, occasionally meowing, and occasionally one or two pedestrians hurried by, but soon disappeared.
Zhu Fujingguang lowered his hood and walked deeper into the alley.
Someone was waiting for him there.
He walked straight over and handed the USB flash drive to the other party.
That was the intelligence he had collected from the organization during this period of time.
The other party took it silently.
Zhu Fujingguang nodded to him and was about to turn around and leave when he heard the other party say:
"Take care, Mr. Zhufu."
Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't look back.
"Yeah. You too."
The phone in his pocket vibrated and he took it out.
【Love and Destiny Action Group】
[Mocktails that even kids can drink: (Positioning)]
[A mocktail even for kids: Who's nearby? I have a target here. He'll be eating on the rooftop of the hotel between 12:30 and 1:30 pm. Anyone passing by, please help snipe him. Private message me and I'll send you nearby weapon locations.]
Get out of my Japan: I can't make it.
[The main body is a knitted hat: ...I don't have time. ]
Undercover, don't cue.
[System prompt: "Non-alcoholic cocktails that even children can drink" pats "you."]
[Mocktails that even kids can drink: What does Shirakawa-kun say?]
Zhu Fu Jingguang: ...
He clicked on the location. It was only two stops away.
Did Punch really not do that on purpose?
【Cat Good Man Bad: I'll go. 】
[A non-alcoholic cocktail that even kids can drink: Great.]
It's followed by a cat head emoji.
Zhu Fujingguang sighed helplessly.
This group chat was created by Punch.
She pulled the three of them in to create a group and changed their notes——
"Get out of my Japan" is Toru Amuro; "The true form is a knitted hat" is Dai Moroboshi; "The cat is good and the man is bad" is Hiroshi Shirakawa; and "The non-alcoholic cocktail that even children can drink" is herself.
At that time, Toru Amuro was shocked when he saw his own notes.
"'Get out of my Japan'? What does this guy mean..."
Are you hinting at something?
Zhu Fu Jingguang comforted him, "She probably thinks you have the temperament of someone who would say such a thing."
"Huh? Are you trying to comfort me, Hiro?" Amuro Toru said speechlessly, "What exactly is my temperament like?!"
Zhu Fujingguang glanced at him up and down, touched his chin, and said thoughtfully:
"Zero's current demeanor is probably that of someone who can scare a child to tears with a cold expression, a sinister smile, and a fierce frown. He wouldn't be out of place saying 'Get out of my Japan'."
Toru Amuro: "..."
He squinted his eyes and looked at You Xunran who was trying to hold back her laughter.
never mind……
Come to think of it, being undercover in the organization was much more... um... relaxing than he had imagined?
It’s not easy, but it feels very relaxing.
This is also because of Punch.
Because this guy's relaxed attitude always infects others, making people feel that no matter what happens, it's nothing in front of her.
