Chapter 59 Gin is very sad~ [VIP]
"It's me~" Cheng said with a grin. After saying that, he rushed forward and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with a group of FBI members. He easily took on five people at once.
With the problem mostly solved, Cheng clapped his hands with a sigh and returned to Gin's side: "How about it, old Gin? My skills haven't deteriorated, have they?"
Gin smirked: "Ah, you've improved."
Vodka scratched his head, glanced at the FBI members lying on the ground or unconscious, then looked at Cheng You in front of him, and for a moment he couldn't believe it.
Gin looked at the people lying on the ground in front of him and asked Cheng You, "Aren't you going to kill them?"
Cheng casually said, "I don't like killing people by nature."
His eyes suddenly softened and became serious, and his tone became somewhat solemn: "In Chinese culture, people are expected to be benevolent and compassionate. I think killing is wrong."
Gin chuckled dismissively, not really caring. Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "You just got back to Japan?"
"No, I only came back to Tokyo after I got tired of traveling in other parts of Japan," Cheng You said. Of course, he couldn't say that he had just returned to China, because the Black Organization would investigate. Although Cheng You could modify the flight system, after learning about Bordeaux, the head of the Black Organization's technology department, Cheng You was somewhat hesitant to take the risk. It was best to be as honest as possible.
Changing old records is easy, and changing the latest records is also simple, but it's easy to be monitored. What if Gin contacts Bordeaux now to check the current flight records? Cheng You simply doesn't have time to change them. Furthermore, what if Cheng You attacks the system, and Bordeaux has already been waiting for a long time, using various methods to reverse the tracking?
Ouch, that's too dangerous.
Although Cheng You was confident in his abilities, he knew that Bordeaux and his men were not easy to deal with, and he didn't want to create trouble for himself. After all, there would be plenty of trouble to come.
"You seem to be having a leisurely time," Gin sneered. "What are you doing back this time?"
Cheng said, "Do you know about the Grey Fox Assassin's Creed?"
"Know."
Cheng calmly recited his prepared explanation: "I saw a few posts inside saying that the exhibition at the Japanese lab here was very interesting, so I came. I thought this human genetic code machine was interesting, so I secretly took it. But I didn't expect that you all wanted it!"
"Heh, I thought you'd done your research thoroughly." Gin said, turning his head to look around, preparing to leave.
Cheng followed and looked around. Gin didn't seem to be looking for Bolt, which disappointed him. He sighed inwardly: "Why don't we meet?"
Cheng You scrolled through his phone, revealing an interface on the Gray Fox Killer Dark website, and said with a slightly flippant tone, "Sigh, the bounty for this on the Gray Fox Killer Dark website is quite high."
Gin glanced at it; it was about something in display case number 36 of the Japanese laboratory exhibition. The person who issued the mission wanted the missing item. They offered an eight-figure price in US dollars.
Actually, Cheng You created this bounty mission while observing the surrounding area from Gin's perspective. He posted it himself, and then created a new account to accept it later. Anyway, the system allows you to create many accounts, and switching between them is very convenient.
Gin gave a perfunctory "Oh".
Cheng You: ...Tsk, couldn't you have just asked me if I wanted it or invited me to join the organization?
Cheng suppressed his helplessness and exaggerated his expression: "Oh my, I'm actually a little tempted by eight figures in US dollars~ After all, that's enough for a lifetime of travel, and I've already gotten the goods. It's like getting something for nothing."
Vodka's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this. He leaned closer to Gin and whispered, "Brother Gin, do you think it's possible that this bounty was issued by the research institute, the Japanese Public Security Bureau, or the FBI?"
Gin nodded. He had considered this possibility, but the man named Li Hua in front of him was still as unconventional and eccentric as he had been seven years ago. Just like now, he knew it was impossible to get him to call the things over.
Gin noticed that Cheng You was still looking at his phone, his finger seemingly poking at something. He thought to himself, "This kid isn't really planning to sell that thing, is he?! It's only eight figures in US dollars! How desperate is this kid for money?"
“Li Hua,” Gin suddenly interrupted, “we’ll give you nine figures to hand over that thing to us.”
Cheng was overjoyed; they had finally arrived. He paused for a few seconds, then asked blankly, "...What?"
“Give us the stuff, and the organization’s boss will be happy to let you join,” Gin said.
"Join? Hmm, I don't want to join your organization right now." Cheng You shook his head.
Gin's lips twitched, suppressing his displeasure. He couldn't get angry; what if the kid ran away again? Honestly, how come he never noticed before that this kid was such a master at escaping?
His expression was calm: "You agreed to join our organization seven years ago."
"Um, no, no, seven years ago your organization tested me and thought I was capable. But now, I also want to test your organization's capabilities. If I'm successful, I'll join. I have high standards." Cheng You said with a smile, taking a few steps back as if afraid that Gin would catch him and beat him up.
Gin: "..." Just bear with it, what he has is very important.
"So?" Gin asked.
“I’ve been in Beika Town lately. How about I join you when you find me?” Cheng You said with a smile.
Gin fell silent. So many years had passed without any trace of this kid. Even the foreign organization members couldn't find him. Although the search area in Beika Town had shrunk, this kid was indeed cunning. Who knew when they'd find him? And by then, who knew if what he had would have already been sold?
Cheng You felt a surge of satisfaction seeing Gin's conflicted expression.
He pulled the machine containing human genetic code from his pocket and waved it in his hand: "Here, take this as my way of showing my loyalty to the organization." He casually tossed it toward the vodka.
Vodka caught it steadily, then paused, stunned: "The money..."
"Money?" Cheng pretended to think. "Then I'll compensate you with double my salary after I join the organization." He smiled and took a few steps back. "Oh, I forgot to mention, I only gave you part of the content. The rest, I'll give you next time we meet. Hehe."
Before Gin and Vodka could react, Cheng You had already disappeared into the darkness of the basement.
Gin: Damn it, this guy, I really don't want him in the organization. He's a hassle to manage, but he does have some talent. The boss would definitely like someone like him.
The thought of working with Li Hua in the future gave Gin a headache. That kid Li Hua never listens to anyone and always takes a few steps back, ready to run away.
Cheng You, who had escaped safely, smiled mischievously, though he couldn't help feeling a bit distressed about being broke. But everything he did was for the sake of successfully infiltrating the organization.
The reason he didn't choose to join the organization now and went through so much trouble was that only by making Gin and the Black Organization boss feel that he was difficult to invite, difficult to persuade, and difficult to turn would they trust Li Hua. When they suspected the undercover agent, he would make sure that Li Hua was the last one to suspect him.
When Cheng Yougang arrived at the lobby, he found that there were far fewer people. The exhibition booth number 37, where the item had been stolen, was still empty, but the police and public security officers were nowhere to be seen.
Cheng found it somewhat strange; were the police no longer going to pursue the matter?
Thinking this, he took out his phone and saw a message from Ryuzaki: [Ryuzaki: Okay.]
This is a reply to the news that Cheng Youxiong had a chance to withdraw the police.
Two more points: [Ryuzaki: The Public Security Bureau has withdrawn. My excuse is that the machine containing the human genetic code was found by a righteous member of the Public Security Bureau. The Public Security Bureau leadership also notified the Metropolitan Police Department to withdraw. Furthermore, the higher-ups in the Public Security Bureau know that a Japanese laboratory is researching this kind of thing, and they've already taken the laboratory director in for a talk; I believe he will purge his subordinates.]
[Ryuzaki: Following my instructions, the lab director has removed the security guards investigating the machine's disappearance. Currently, aside from the FBI, it's unlikely anyone will pursue the matter.]
Cheng breathed a sigh of relief after reading it. Thankfully, the police weren't investigating anymore. However, he was upset that the FBI was still pursuing the matter. Why couldn't the police and the FBI sit down and have a proper discussion?
Scroll down further, and you'll find a very simple message in the chat interface with Ryuzaki.
[Ryuzaki: I believe Mr. Cheng; he did this for justice.]
This was a reply to Cheng You's statement about wanting to be the boss of the Black Organization. Cheng You later thought about it again and realized that the message he sent to Ryuzaki had not fully explained his true intentions. But Ryuzaki didn't care about all that; he only had one sentence to say.
I believe it.
Cheng You: Thank you for your trust, Mr. Ryuzaki. For justice.
[Ryuzaki: Mr. Morofushi and you are among my few friends.]
Cheng You couldn't help but sigh as he read this. Ryuzaki was an eccentric young genius, indeed unusual in the eyes of normal people. Although he was well protected by the Public Security Bureau, he longed for freedom and justice even more. So when the Public Security Bureau allowed him to act and he met the first undercover agent he needed to contact, he was very happy and said he would protect his undercover agent.
On countless dark and lonely nights, they forged a bond.
When Ryuzaki learns of the death of his undercover agent, he must be saddened and feel guilty, wondering why he, a genius detective, couldn't protect a public security officer.
But upon learning that the undercover agent was still alive, he was certainly happier than most people, while also remaining vigilant.
After meeting Cheng You, he discovered another person who was willing to talk to him and unconditionally trust him—Cheng You.
He said they were friends. Yes, friends. Even though they had only met a few times, there was a bond between them that spanned three years, and secrets hidden behind countless disguises.
Ryuzaki is also very important to Cheng You. At the very least, Ryuzaki knows most of his secrets, more than anyone else does.
Cheng went to the public restroom and removed his disguise there.
After finishing his investigation, Morofushi Kagemitsu arrived here. He was relieved to see that Cheng You was still full of energy. However, thinking that Cheng You might not join the Black Organization so quickly, he asked, "Haven't you joined the organization yet?"
Cheng was taken aback: "Huh? How did you know?" He originally wanted to explain to Morofushi Kagemitsu, but he didn't expect that the other party had already guessed that he wouldn't join so soon.
Morifushi Kagemitsu smiled, his eyes crinkling with a hint of amusement: "Hahaha, you're not really trying to hook up with Koto, are you?"
"Huh? How did you know?" Cheng You's eyes widened, and he scratched his head in confusion.
“Because I understand you,” Morofushi Kagemitsu said with a smile. “How could you possibly give in so easily?”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, so that's how it is! No, you actually managed to figure this out!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The person who was about to enter the men's restroom heard the laughter coming from inside and couldn't help but mutter, "Are they crazy?" Then he walked straight past the two people who were laughing and went into a stall.
Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Go home?"
"OK."
As the two were approaching the dessert shop in North-South Alley, Cheng Yi slapped his forehead: "Oh my god! I forgot Youyi there!"
He quickly took out his phone and texted Yuichi to ask where he was. Yuichi said that Conan had invited him to Professor Agasa's house, saying that he wanted to make a set of self-defense equipment suitable for Yuichi.
However, Yuichi refused, saying that his older brother Cheng You could protect him. But Conan felt that although Cheng You was very capable, he was sometimes unreliable, and he would feel more at ease relying on himself. Yuichi had no choice but to agree.
[Yuichi: Brother Cheng You doesn't need to pick me up. I'll go home by myself in a bit.]
Cheng looked at the message Youyi had sent telling him to come home. Good, Youyi is safe now. Then he looked at the previous sentence. What did Conan say? That I'm unreliable sometimes?
How could that be?! This was just a mistake; I definitely won't make the same mistake again.
Cheng You immediately picked up her phone and replied: [Cheng You: Message me when you're done, I'll come pick you up!]
Hmph, I'm very reliable, okay?
The two returned to the dessert shop in Nanbei Lane, and Cheng You lay back in his own comfortable chair, closing his eyes to rest.
Suddenly, the system's voice came to his mind. It had been more than half a month since he last completed Morofushi Kagemitsu's mission, and the system's voice suddenly sounded somewhat unfamiliar.
System: [Host, the Date Voyage backtracking mission is about to begin. Mission loading progress: 99%. Please prepare.]
The system's sudden reminder also made Cheng You think of Matsuda Jinpei. What was he doing at the exhibition at the Japanese laboratory today? Did he know Gin?
And... did Cecil from the research institute cause him any trouble?
