Chapter 218

As his undercover mission and the safety of his colleagues were at stake, Rei Furuya was not able to let down his guard so easily. In the end, he personally checked the faces of his colleagues and confirmed that there were indeed no signs of disguise. After checking the secrets that only they knew, he finally believed that they were indeed the real people.

After a lot of chaos, the four people finally sat down again.

"So you mean to say that you had already worked for the police as a police assistant for many years before you were recruited by the organization?"

There was an unignorable strange tone in Furiya Rei's voice, and his scrutinizing gaze fell on Kagamino Tomo's face, as if he was cutting his skin with a knife, making Kagamino Tomo even feel a slight stinging pain.

Kagino Satoshi felt as nervous as if he were facing the dean. He sat up straight and answered loudly in a serious tone:

"Yes, Mr. Furuya. I became a public security assistant after I used hacking skills to save Brother Jinping during the Ferris wheel bombing three years ago. When we first met, I didn't know your identity and thought you were just a member of the organization, so I never revealed this."

After hearing his familiar "Mr. Furuya", Rei suddenly had a bad feeling and subconsciously wanted to twitch his lips, but he finally held it back. It was not until he heard him say that he had saved Matsuda Jinpei that he was slightly moved in his heart and glanced at him without leaving a trace.

Seeing this, Matsuda Jinpei said, "Tsk," and nodded casually:

"Yes, I can prove it. At that time, it was Yanji and I who personally acted as his guarantors."

Furiya Rei glanced over, gave him a half-smile, and said:

"Then you two are quite amazing. You were able to find such high-level foreign aid in advance."

A cross appeared on Matsuda Jinpei's forehead instantly. He looked at Furuya Rei fiercely, his fists clenched and made a cracking sound, and he threatened:

"What the hell are you saying, you blond bastard? You want to get beaten again, don't you?"

Not to be outdone, Furuya Rei glared back and said in reply:

"You curly-haired bastard, figure it out for me, who beat who?"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. We have some important things to do."

Kenji Hagiwara quickly stepped in between the two and started to mediate, finally separating them before they started fighting.

The three of them stared at each other for a while, and suddenly they found a little bit of the feeling of chatting and joking with each other after training in the police academy. A familiar sense of tacit understanding spread among the three of them, making them all smile at each other.

Satoshi Kagino silently huddled into his chair, watching them go from wanton provocation to sudden reconciliation in front of him. Everything was so tacit and natural. Suddenly, he felt that his presence here was particularly redundant.

Kenji Hagiwara was the first to notice Kagamino Satoshi's embarrassment and helplessness. He recalled that when Furuya Rei was dealing with the Ferris wheel explosion, Kagamino Satoshi showed up in time and expressed his doubts. So he naturally started talking about how he met Kagamino Satoshi.

"Come to think of it, Xiaozhi not only saved Xiaozhenping's life three years ago, but also saved my life from the bomber in the fire and ransom warning hall seven years ago when we just met. Over the years, Xiaozhenping and I have always regarded Xiaozhi as a younger brother."

Rei Furuya was really surprised this time. As Kenji Hagiwara told him, he slowly understood what had happened between them in the past seven years. In order not to involve his peers in the organization's affairs, Rei Furuya simply cut off contact with his peers, so he naturally didn't know their specific situation in the past few years.

Now, Furuya Rei looked at the thin boy sitting across the table. Perhaps because of the presence of the familiar Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji, Kagamino Satoshi no longer had the chuunibyou look he had seen before. Instead, he looked very relaxed, curled up in his chair obediently. The look he gave him was wet and cautious, and surprisingly cute.

It was only until now that Furuya Rei finally had some sense of seeing an underage genius. Even though he knew that the boy in front of him was a special programmer who was highly valued by the organization, when he knew that his nature was not bad and he had even saved the lives of his most important friends twice, his former hostility and vigilance inevitably faded a lot. Even in his heart, he was also grateful to this genius boy.

But as a public security officer, Furuya Rei is still very serious and responsible. Even though his attitude has changed a little, he will never let go of some things that need to be investigated because of a little selfishness. So Furuya Rei showed an interested expression, put his elbow on the table, and asked casually:

"It sounds like your hacking skills are really amazing, much better than what you showed in the organization. But since you have always been in contact with the police, why didn't you ask for help from the police in time after being threatened by the organization, but chose to be successfully recruited into the organization by me?"

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, who were sitting nearby, looked at each other and saw some worry in each other's eyes when they saw their friend suddenly behave like this.

However, at this time, as guarantors and mutual friends of both parties, it was difficult for them to interrupt or take sides, so they could only remain silent and allow Furuya Rei to continue testing the waters.

The three people's eyes were focused on Kagino Satoshi again. The invisible pressure made him unable to help but shrink back into his chair. He pursed his lips subconsciously, and even his voice was filled with grievance when he spoke.

"Of course. When the organization came to me, I used the identity of END, an information dealer. But when I was helping the public security, I used another hacker identity, which is completely different from the gray area END. In that case, if I asked for help, wouldn't I be exposing my vest to the public security? I worked hard to run this vest, and I don't want to waste it just like that."

Just to keep his identity as an intelligence dealer, when faced with the threat of a criminal organization of such a scale, he would rather be forced into darkness than seek help from the police?

What a suicidal thing!

Even the well-informed Rei Furuya couldn't help but curse him in his heart after hearing this willful excuse. Not to mention Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei who were listening in. They both looked angry at the same time, and Matsuda Jinpei even punched Kagano Satoshi across the table.

Kagino Satoshi knew how powerful Matsuda Jinpei's fist was, and he immediately closed his eyes in fear, hunched his shoulders and waited in place, his face pale with fear. He kept muttering in his heart, "Xiaoxing's script this time is too terrible. He didn't say before that I would be beaten. I don't want to be beaten. Xiaoxing, help me!"

However, after waiting for a long time, the pain did not subside. He carefully squinted his eyes to open a crack, but saw Matsuda Jinpei with one hand on the table across the table, and the other big fist was hanging above his nose without moving. Seeing that Kagano Satoshi was peeking, he bent his fingers and hit Kagano Satoshi hard on the forehead.

“Ouch!”
