Chapter 135 Buff's Miracle
Under such high pressure, Ango Sakaguchi felt his stomach cramping and felt heavy and cold as if it was filled with ice cubes. The pain made him cover his stomach with his hand. At Douma's request, he took out his cell phone with his other hand and called Chief Taneda, turning on the speakerphone.
"Beep, beep, beep..." During the short ten seconds of waiting for the call to be connected, Sakaguchi Ango covered his stomach even more tightly with his left hand. The increasingly sharp stomach pain made him miss the stomach medicine lying in the drawer of his office. He needed it so much now. If he had known this would happen, he would have carried it with him!
However, knowing in advance is priceless. Sakaguchi Ango can only choose to endure it now. Otherwise, how can he ask the culprit who caused his stomachache for stomach medicine?
The culprit who caused the stomachache, Douma: ...It's not impossible?
Sakaguchi Ango's face looked very bad at the moment, so pale that it could be said to be completely bloodless. In addition, the fact that he kept covering his stomach was enough for Douma to see that he was unwell.
His remaining conscience would not allow Douma to turn a blind eye to this. After all, he had worked like a slave for the port mafia in the past few years, and the only reason he didn't die suddenly was because Sakaguchi Ango was young and in good health.
Just a few stomach medicines, their Port Mafia is not to the point where they cannot provide them, especially since Sakaguchi Ango's stomach disease is most likely the sequelae of working too hard for the organization. As the boss of the Port Mafia, Douma believes that he is not so petty as to watch others suffer.
While Tanesan Tohuo hadn't answered the phone yet, Douma picked up the phone on the table and dialed the internal line to ask someone to send in a bottle of stomach medicine.
Sakaguchi Ango, who was forcing himself to endure, was stunned when he heard this. He looked up at Douma in disbelief: "You..."
At this moment, Taneda Santouki on the other end of the line pressed the answer button on his phone, interrupting what Sakaguchi Ango was about to say. A steady voice came from the receiver: "Ango?"
After a burst of enthusiasm, Sakaguchi Ango was interrupted and swallowed his untimely question. He drooped his eyelids in silence and focused on the real things he should care about.
The shame of failure made it difficult for Ango Sakaguchi to speak: "Captain Taneda, Lord Douma asked me to give you his regards."
This sudden and surprising move made even Tanaka Santouhuo, who had been in the political circle for many years, silent: "..."
Obviously, since Douma asked Sakaguchi Ango to call him, the fact that their Special Forces Division sent spies to the Port Mafia to obtain intelligence has been exposed. This would not be a big problem if the current boss of the Port Mafia was not Douma, a transcendent who even the Special Forces Division would be afraid of.
However, there is no such thing as "if" in reality. After quickly figuring everything out, Zhongtian Shantouhuo couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart, because he knew that today's matter would probably not be resolved peacefully, and perhaps his political career would come to an end.
Those bigwigs in the cabinet would not risk offending Douma, the only one who surpassed Japan, for a trivial person like him. This deal was too difficult to make. No one knew this better than Taneda Santoka, the person involved.
No one could tell that Chief Taneda, who was as steady and reliable as a mountain in the eyes of everyone, was feeling regretful in his heart at this moment: he should never have been so greedy and tried to dig out and control more information about Douma, and he did not seize the opportunity to withdraw Ango Sakaguchi in time after Douma became the leader of the Port Mafia.
A greedy person will always have to pay the price for his greed, and the price is negotiable. The standard political student, Taneda Santouki, suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly realized that Douma might have something to ask of him... or their special power department.
After all, after Douma discovered that Sakaguchi Ango was a spy sent by the Special Powers Division, he did not directly approach the Cabinet Minister in charge of managing their Special Powers Division, which is very telling.
Realizing that there was still room for maneuver, Taneda Santoka regained his spirits and said carefully, "Ango, please hand the phone to Lord Douma. I need to discuss something with Lord Douma in person."
"Yes." Sakaguchi Ango responded concisely.
Taneda Santouki did not directly ask Douma whether he was next to Sakaguchi Ango or whether he was listening to their conversation, but Sakaguchi Ango had already received all the hints, and his non-denial just confirmed Taneda Santouki's guess: Douma was standing next to Sakaguchi Ango at this moment!
Clearly nothing was said, yet it seemed as if everything was said. The brief and effective interaction between the two elite members of the Special Power Division made Douma, who was watching the show quietly on the side, raise his eyebrows. He felt even more regretful that for various reasons he had to let go of such a useful laborer like Sakaguchi Ango.
Sakaguchi Ango tentatively walked towards Douma who was sitting behind the desk. When he found that he was not rejected, he slightly bowed and handed over the phone that was being used by the call.
Douma glanced at Sakaguchi Ango, who lowered his head and looked obedient, reached out to take the phone and put it on the table, and said to the person on the other end of the phone with a hint of joking, "Director Taneda, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are in good health."
"Don't make fun of me, Master Douma. This time it was my fault. If you can use us in any way, the Special Powers and Secret Service Department will do its best." Taneda Santouki smiled bitterly. This was the first time he made such a sincere promise. It was completely different from his previous attitude which he used to fool his superiors in other departments.
There was a subtle change in Taneda Santoka's attitude. Even though they were separated by a long telephone line, Douma could keenly perceive the difference. He directly overturned his original plan and made other plans in his mind. Perhaps this was a great opportunity for him.
With the mentality that it doesn't matter if he cheats a little, Douma didn't directly ask Oguri Mushitaro to clean up the files for Gin and the others. Instead, he mentioned something else that was completely unrelated: "The Special Powers Division has been helping to find the 'book' for several years. I think there should be some good news, right?"
Hearing Douma's determined (? ) tone, Taneda Santoka's hand on his knee couldn't help but move uneasily. For a moment he suspected that someone in the higher-ups of the Special Powers Section had informed Douma, but at the same time he felt that no one would do such a thing.
"Hahaha, you are joking. If we really have made progress, how could we hide it from you?" Taneda Santouki used a hearty laugh to cover up the uneasiness in his heart. He was now extremely annoyed that they were not face to face, otherwise he could observe Douma's facial expression and tell whether the other party was lying to him.
Built-in anti-peeping mode·Douma: ...Is it possible that it is easier for me to perform face to face?
"Oh?" Douma used a rather practiced and elongated tone to put psychological pressure on Taneda Santouki, and then deliberately paused for a moment before questioning again, "Really? You guys can't?"
The situation here was tense and neither of them would give in or admit that they felt guilty, but on the other side where no one was paying attention, the guard knocked on the door three times lightly, then pushed the door open with the stomach medicine brought up by the servants.
The guard who came in to deliver the medicine was very well-behaved. He stared at his toes, not daring to raise his head to look inside, let alone look around. He just stood obediently by the door like a wooden stake, quietly waiting for the boss to remember and get the stomach medicine on the tray in time when he needed it.
A person came into the room. Anyone who was not dead could notice this. Douma took the time out of his busy schedule to take a look, then raised his chin towards Sakaguchi Ango who was also standing like a wooden stake, motioning him to go over and take the medicine.
Both of them stood like a wooden stake, but they were essentially different. One really didn't listen, look or talk, while the other seemed to be obedient on the surface but was actually keeping an eye on all directions and listening to all directions.
Therefore, Sakaguchi Ango, who was always paying attention to Douma's movements, almost immediately understood Douma's meaning, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he looked at the other party with some hesitation.
Sakaguchi Ango's suspicion lies in the fact that Douma, as a high-ranking transcendent being, an existence that is extremely feared by the entire Special Powers Department, actually noticed such an insignificant matter as his stomachache, and was still thinking about it and asking someone to send him medicine. This is too unbelievable.
After getting Douma's affirmative nod, Sakaguchi Ango walked to the door, holding his stomach which seemed to be less painful, picked up the medicine on the tray, counted out two pills skillfully, and swallowed them with warm water which was also on the tray.
A warm and comfortable current, wrapping around the stomach medicine that could relieve his pain, went down his esophagus. Sakaguchi Ango didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. They were very subtle and complicated. He just felt warm all over.
Sakaguchi Ango, who hadn't slept for several days, suddenly wanted to sleep peacefully without caring about anything. When he woke up, perhaps he would be able to figure out what his mood was at the moment.
Douma: ...Is it possible that you haven't slept for too long and your brain is messed up, so you were bewitched by this weird buff of the Xie cult leader?
The Xie Cult leader's buff has achieved great success again, but Douma, the beneficiary, is completely unaware of it. He is still busy chatting with the old fox, Taneda Santouhuo, who never speaks the truth, and has no idea that his awesome plug-in even spares important supporting characters like Sakaguchi Ango.
The deceived party, Ango Sakaguchi, drank the warm water in the cup with a puzzled expression on his face, and when he looked up again, he returned to the calm expression of No. 101, and put the empty cup and the stomach medicine neatly back on the tray, and then out of kindness let the guard go out first.
As a highly respected intelligence officer, Sakaguchi Ango knows a lot of things. His special ability has already destined him to know many things that he should not know, so Chief Taneda did not keep him in the dark like he did with most of the investigators.
The "book" in the urban legend may really exist, and it is also what Lord Douma is pursuing. However, these secrets are obviously not suitable for too many people to know, which is not a good thing for anyone.
