Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Whose trace will make Zero...
After leaving Miyano Akemi's residence, Morofushi Kagemitsu was still thinking that she was more perceptive and intelligent than he had imagined, but his body's instinct had already helped him to open the hand that was about to rest on his shoulder.
If the person standing behind him had not been quite skilled, he would have been thrown to the ground by him with an over-the-shoulder throw.
The man in the knitted hat was staring at him.
Why is Lei here?
Zhu Fushigure Jingguang recalled that Mescal had told him that Lei had once dated Miyano Akemi, but they had not ended up together. This was later confirmed by the information Bourbon gave him.
But in his original world, Lei and Miyano Akemi were dating, and their relationship seemed quite stable.
...It can't be that in this world, Lei's love proposal was rejected and he turned into a stalker.
Thinking of Lei's FBI identity, Zhu Fujingguang decided to put an end to his strange thoughts and get straight to the point. He withdrew his hand that was about to fight with the person behind him and began to sign: "What are you doing here?"
Lei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Shouldn't I be the one asking this?"
He paused and added meaningfully, "Why are you looking for my sister?"
Zhu Fujingguang: "..."
Zhu Fujingguang: “…………”
Zhu Fujingguang: “………………”
His silence was almost deafening.
1207 whistled and hummed: "You are my good sister~"
Zhu Fu Jingguang told it to shut up and not to poison his brain.
Lei and he stared at each other for a few seconds before speaking, "What's with that expression of 'You can't get someone, so you say she's your sister? How pathetic!'"
Zhu Fujingguang gestured and asked in return: "Isn't it? If you want to talk about a sister, it should be my sister."
However, Lei had just joined the organization not long ago, and perhaps he had not met Scotland before to find Miyano Akemi. And Miyano Akemi, out of the mentality of protecting Scotland, did not mention his affairs to Lei.
Generally speaking, it is a misunderstanding caused by information gap.
Even with this thought, Zhu Fujing still had the same doubtful expression on his face that showed he was skeptical of Lei's courtship. Even though he was actually a bit shorter than Lei, he was forcing himself to dominate him. "If you want to pursue Mingmei, you'll have to get past me, your older brother."
Lei: “…”
He stared intently at Zhufu Jingguang for a long moment before looking away. "She never told me about her dealings with Scotland, but it seems your relationship is surprisingly good."
Yeah, I found that quite unexpected, too. Zhu Fujingguang agreed with Lei.
Just now, during his conversation with Miyano Akemi, he had no intention of reminiscing about the past, fearing that the sensitive girl would discover something. Naturally, he had no idea why they were so familiar with each other.
The misunderstanding was resolved. Zhu Fushi Jingguang thought that he and Lei didn't have much to talk about. Lei seemed to be going to find Miyano Akemi. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Lei say again: "Scotland, be careful of Bourbon."
Zhu Fu Jingguang:?
Just this morning, Rei Furuya told him on the phone that he had finally confirmed Lei's undercover identity and wanted to make good use of this information gap. Now Lei told him to be careful of Bourbon?
Although Furuya Rei is very efficient, given his personality, he would carefully consider how to "threaten" Lei to help him without letting the other party discover his identity and position. He would not approach Lei so quickly and let Lei know that it was Bourbon who did it.
Zhu Fujingguang stopped and looked at Lei quietly with his eyes, which were bigger than those of his peers, waiting for the other party's next words.
"You've gained some real power this time, haven't you? Bourbon is well-informed and seems to have known this a while ago. I was originally the only one living in that safe house, but he somehow took away my use of it half a month ago... I think his purpose in doing this is not for you, but for him."
Morofushi Kagemitsu, who was identified as the "Bourbon target", acquiesced to Rai's speculation.
The safe house was managed by the logistics team, and before Morobushi Kagemitsu returned to Japan, the logistics team was managed by Rum. It was obvious how Bourbon kicked Lei out of the safe house.
No wonder Rum wanted to arrange Scotland and Bourbon to go on the mission together.
But, would Bourbon be willing to disturb Rum over such a small matter?
Lei lit a cigarette but didn't put it in his mouth immediately. "The organization has been in turmoil for the past few months. Many people have been captured by Gin and have never been released."
Zhu Fu Jingguang understood Lei's implication that his promotion went against the current trend of the organization, so it would attract special attention.
They don't see Scotland's identity as the organization's experimental subject, they only think that he is now a popular person around the boss.
"I don't think you need me to elaborate on the extent of Bourbon's ambitions. I've given you similar warnings before, but this time Bourbon has gone against his usual attitude and become attentive to you. Can you protect yourself from his sweet talk, Scotland?"
The fine smoke blurred the emotions in Lei's green wolf eyes. Although he was emotionless most of the time, even the tone he used when speaking ill of others was light, so light that it seemed like he was stating an objective fact like "I had beef stew with potatoes for lunch today."
Zhu Fujingguang thought with some envy, it would be great if he could occasionally be as calm and indifferent as Lei.
For the past decade, he has been bound by various emotions.
Zhu Fujingguang smiled slightly. He didn't directly respond to Lei's advice. Instead, he typed the following into his phone: "Thank you for your care, Lei. If you need my help anyday, you can come find me."
Regardless of whether Lei really came to remind him purely - the probability of this is difficult to judge, or he also wanted to use the friendship of his previous partners to get close to him, a "quasi-high-ranking member of the organization", but because of Lei's FBI identity, he didn't mind helping the other party without harming the interests of his own country.
After taking the phone back, Zhu Fujingguang turned and left. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lei staring at the falling ash with a dark look in his eyes.
After meeting two people he wanted to meet today and unexpectedly encountering Lei, Zhu Fujingguang is now ready to go home. His destination is not the safe house where he lives alone, but the safe house where he and Bourbon temporarily live together as "pretend lovers".
Bourbon had just sent him a message saying that he planned to confirm the specific plan of this mission with him today... Thinking of this, combined with Lei's "accusation" that he was kicked out of the safe house by Bourbon, Zhu Fujingguang was in a somewhat subtle mood.
This Bourbon had known me even less than Lei, so how did he guess that I would return to the safe house before Rum gave me the mission?
Unable to come up with an answer, he felt that he was still missing some information, so he stopped thinking about this problem.
Considering that Zhu Fu Jingguang hadn't eaten any decent food today, he only had a cup of latte and a small piece of cheesecake for most of the day, so he stopped at a supermarket on the way to buy ingredients.
Of course, there is the indispensable celery in it.
Speaking of which, after Bourbon changed his attitude, Zhu Fujingguang never cooked for him again, and naturally, he never cooked anything with celery. I wonder what Bourbon's attitude will be now, as he always ate celery with a sullen face before.
With the intention of teasing Rei Furuya in this way, he selected the ingredients, but after paying the bill, he came to his senses: I had clearly made up my mind to keep as much distance as possible from Rei Furuya, so why did I have this idea of joking with someone close to me now?
The cat stared at the juicy green celery and was in a dilemma.
Twenty minutes later.
Bourbon, who was busy organizing information in the room, heard rustling sounds outside, and then a golden head popped out from the door of the room.
The person he had just texted saying he would "wait for you to come back" was now standing in the kitchen, taking various ingredients out of the bag and starting to prepare them.
Bourbon: ...?
He looked up at the time. It was almost three in the afternoon, almost four. It was not the right time for lunch or dinner, but it didn't look like afternoon tea.
Bourbon looked at the messy and unorganized reports in the room, then looked at the back in the kitchen. Finally, he decided to close the door and walked towards Zhu Fujingguang.
He did not deliberately slow down his pace. After all, the sound of the door closing might have been heard. So when he was thirty centimeters away from Zhu Fujingguang, a long, tender-looking celery pointed at his nose.
Bourbon: “…”
He looked at the familiar vegetable and laughed: "Why, is there still my share?"
Reaching out to take the celery, Bourbon stood in the empty space that Zhufu Jingguang had made for him. "Although I'm not hungry, I just used up a lot of brain power. I should eat something too."
Putting a piece of lean meat in front of Bourbon, Zhu Fujingguang used his free hand to sign: "You're not protesting and saying you don't want to eat celery?"
Shifting his gaze from Morifushi Keimu's hands to Morifushi Keimu's face, Bourbon unsurprisingly saw a smile in the other's eyes.
Bourbon: “…”
Being a man of good words, he naturally did not want to be outdone and immediately put on a sweet smile: "This is a dish carefully selected for me by the person I like, so of course I have to savor it."
Even though he knew that this person was still "pretending to be a couple", Zhu Fujingguang couldn't help but take a deep breath in his heart.
1207 was mad: "Now that things have come to this, why don't you increase your favorability points, Jianggu Ling!"
In order to avoid eating more honey traps and losing his appetite, Zhu Fujingguang began to cook quietly. Bourbon also stopped while he was ahead and did not continue to throw out more sugar-coated bullets, but started to talk about business - that is, the reason why he called Scotland back to the safe house and the specific plan of this mission.
This mission was led by the intelligence team, and the plan was naturally formulated by Bourbon. However, as a small-scale senior official, Scotland still had the power to modify the plan even if it was only an assistant. So after Bourbon finished speaking, he nodded and said that he would think carefully about whether there was any room for improvement in the plan.
After all, it was not dinner time, so they only prepared two dishes and half a staple food and served them on the table together - Zhu Fu Jingguang deliberately pushed the big bowl of celery and lean meat soup in front of Bourbon.
Just as the two sat down and prepared to enjoy their meal, one of Bourbon's phones rang.
I don’t know if it was because the “pretending to be a couple” scene was still going on, or because Bourbon thought that there was nothing to avoid about the call from this person, so he actually answered the phone right away while sitting down.
But just a few seconds later, his pupils constricted and he cried out in a rare moment: "Have we found his trace?!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Bourbon realized that he had lost his composure.
But he was in no mood to even force out his usual Bourbon smile. He only had time to hurriedly say, "I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first," without even glancing at Zhu Fujingguang, who had just been chatting and laughing happily.
The intelligence expert, who always cared about his image, casually took a coat from the coat rack at the entrance of the living room and put it on, barely covering the casual top that looked like pajamas. He put on a pair of leather shoes and went out.
This is not the effortless Bourbon, but the real Furuya Zero.
Zhu Fujingguang slowly put down his chopsticks and stared at the bowl of celery and lean meat soup that was still steaming.
...Whose whereabouts would make Zero so nervous?
Since it is "he", it certainly cannot be the female doctor in Zero's childhood.
So, that's the only candidate left.
The person Zero personally admitted that he wanted to marry.
