Jiang Lai followed Akai Shuichi from a distance, his steps quick and nimble, like a cat stalking in the dark night.

His tracking and anti-tracking abilities had reached a relatively high level due to his own training and the influence of the three forums. Shuichi Akai did not notice the black-haired young man who quietly blended into the crowd and followed him.

Jiang Lai followed him all the way and noticed that he turned and went to the bathroom. He thought to himself: Wait, is he really just coming to the bathroom?

He paused slightly, and felt the vibration of his cell phone in his pocket.

Jiang Lai took out his phone and saw an unread email in his boss's mailbox!!

Jiang Lai: “!!”

He instantly stood up, and with an inexplicable excitement and nervousness, he opened the email that suddenly appeared -

[I am working with Lei on a mission. He is not doing well. Do I need to take this opportunity to kill the gentleman's loyal dog? - Malbec]

Jiang Lai’s first reaction: Who is Malbec?

Jiang Lai’s second reaction: Wait, who did he say he wanted to get rid of?

Jiang Lai's third reaction: Lai Yi is that gentleman's loyal dog? ? !

In just a few lines, Jiang Lai saw the various aspects of life (bushi).

He was silent for two seconds, and searched the name Malbec on the Internet - it was a kind of red wine. It seemed that the other party was also a member of the organization.

Jiang Lai: Woohoo! I am finally not a hollow boss anymore! I feel a little relieved.

Jiang Lai reread the email sent to him by the other party, and recalled the brown-haired man who had just chatted with Akai Shuichi.

Could he be the Malbek who sent me a message? He looks like someone on my side. Jiang Lai thought slowly in his heart. He didn't expect that the first person who sent me a message was not a familiar figure like Gin or Vermouth, but a seemingly new character.

But this also happens to illustrate the size and complexity of the Black Organization.

It seems to be a good idea. From this perspective, some unknown members of the organization may also belong to me.

This Malbec's observation ability seemed to be quite good. He was able to see that there was something wrong with Shuichi Akai's condition at the moment. After all, although Shuichi Akai's face was a little pale, he still had a calm and leisurely attitude. Most people could not be 100% sure whether the other party really had a problem.

Jiang Lai thought for a moment and replied: [Can you get rid of him without leaving any trace? ]

If two people go on a mission and one of them dies accidentally, then the other person may be investigated. Jiang Lai first needs to confirm whether the first person who contacts him is really capable or reckless and does not care about the consequences of exposure.

[Don't worry, I have always done a good job of finishing the job. And the person who will handle the follow-up of this mission is my undisclosed younger brother. - Malbec]

Jiang Lai: Good guys, buy one get one free!

It seems that this guy's younger brother is also his own man, and unlike Malbek, he is in charge of logistics.

Not making it public means that in the eyes of the organization members, Malbec and his brother have no relationship, and may not even know each other at all.

It was a safe move, for him, his brother, and himself.

Jiang Lai certainly couldn't let Malbek find a way to kill Akai Shuichi this time. Whether he succeeded or not, it would be his loss. So he quickly replied: "Keep him for now. I have some use for him."

[Okay, Boss. —Malbeck]

Jiang Lai put away his phone and filtered the information again.

Malbec's positioning of Akai Shuichi is actually "that gentleman's loyal dog"... It seems that Akai Shuichi is still very important in the eyes of the current organization's boss, to the extent that he can be clearly divided into factions.

As the trump card of the FBI, Shuichi Akai must be very efficient. It is estimated that during the amnesia phase after being brainwashed, he did a lot of work for the current boss of the organization, and his performance was so outstanding that other members of the organization also had a deep understanding of him.

As for the term "loyal dog"... they've been brainwashed, how can they not be loyal? Jiang Lai twitched his lips. However, the current boss of the organization may not know that Akai Shuichi has already gotten rid of his control... Well, although he is still under the control of drugs, he is already in hiding.

Shuichi Akai's current position and identity make him more suitable for obtaining relatively confidential intelligence than before, so he will not withdraw from the organization, but will continue to go undercover.

But his danger has also increased greatly. On the one hand, he has to endure the pain that comes at irregular intervals, and this pain is very likely to occur during the mission, which makes him, who is already on the line between life and death, even more dangerous. On the other hand, he must guard against the current boss's detection. Otherwise, if the current boss finds out that he has escaped control, it will be an unimaginable outcome...

Jiang Lai thought in his heart, he walked forward again, and saw that the door of the restroom marked "Men" was closed, with a conspicuous sign "Under Cleaning" hanging on it.

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows.

He had just seen Shuichi Akai walk into the bathroom with his own eyes, and he hasn't come out yet, so it was obvious who put up the "Cleaning" sign.

Well, he was now sure that Akai Shuichi was indeed in a bad state. However, he didn't know to what extent.

Don't die in this mission... I don't know what they are here for this time. Jiang Lai has seen Akai Shuichi in pain and knows that he can't concentrate in that state.

Given his current status and the fact that he was still unsure of Malbec's loyalty, it was inconvenient for him to say anything more to him - such as asking him to keep an eye on Akai Shuichi and not let him die.

If I send this email to Malbek, he might think too much. After all, in his heart, Akai Shuichi is the loyal dog of that gentleman and is a member of a different camp.

Jiang Lai stared at the closed door, thought for a moment, and then stepped forward and tried to push it open gently.

The door leading inside seemed to have no lock, and Jiang Lai pushed it open very smoothly. He leaned carefully to one side of the door so as not to expose his figure first.

As the door slowly opened, he heard the sound of water in the sink. The scene in Jiang Lai's sight gradually appeared, and finally he saw a long-haired man washing his hands in the sink.

Akai Shuichi glanced at him lightly with his dark green eyes, without any expression, but he still had a cold aura that was slightly leaning towards Jiang Lai.

"Um, sorry, I was looking at my phone just now. When I noticed the "Under Cleaning" sign, I had already opened the door...!" Jiang Lai said first, and was slightly stunned, "Ah, it's you."

He believed that the other party must remember him, but he was not sure what kind of image he was in the other party's eyes.

However, Akai Shuichi did not answer, he just turned off the tap. The white pool was bright and clear, but Jiang Lai's sharp eyesight could see a little bit of unnatural... red left on the side wall?

Was it left by Shuichi Akai, or did it already exist?

Jiang Lai closed the door naturally, and complained like a normal person: "I thought it was still being cleaned... It seems that the waiter just finished his work and forgot to turn the sign over."

Jiang Lai walked inside with a normal expression, not looking at the man in the knitted hat. He showed his harmless side, like an ordinary tourist who came to the bathroom.

“…”

Jiang Lai passed by Akai Shuichi, who stood straight. He walked past the sink and headed inside, thinking, "It looks like he's fine, so I don't need to worry about it."

However, just as I calmed down, I suddenly heard a rapid cough from behind.

He immediately turned around and saw Akai Hide holding the sink with one hand and covering his mouth with the other to stop coughing and belching. Despite this, red liquid still seeped out from between his fingers and dripped down.

Shuichi Akai turned on the faucet with his arms trembling slightly. He leaned on the table and spat blood into the pool. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

Jiang Lai's eyes flashed with shock - he took back the idea that it was no big deal, has this already reached the point of vomiting blood! ! ?

Akai, what's wrong with you, Akai! You are the most dangerous person in the whole show now! Jiang Lai was swiping the screen like crazy. It's not you who put others in danger, but you are in danger yourself!

As a silver bullet, you must hold on! Akai-san, the front line against crime!!

Jiang Lai thought quickly in his mind.

No wonder the organization's boss trusts Shuichi Akai so much... Because in his current state, even if he really regained consciousness and was not discovered by the organization, he would definitely die if he wanted to maintain his self-esteem and not take medicine.

The severe pain is one thing, and forced restraint seems to be harmful to the body. The consequence of not taking medicine is not only the pain that affects the mission, but also real physical damage - like vomiting blood at this moment.

I don't know if it's the stomach or other organs that are damaged.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Lai turned back, but he kept a safe distance from Akai Shuichi and expressed his concern. "I think you need help?"

"..." Akai Shuichi swallowed the blood that surged up in his throat again. He washed his hands and the corners of his mouth, and raised his wolf-like temperament again, "No need."

The other party finally spoke, but it was still an unquestionable and firm refusal.

The long-haired man in the knitted hat raised his feet and prepared to leave, but his arm was grabbed! Akai Shuichi reflexively fought back, but the person behind him dodged it nimbly.

"The speed has become very slow, sir." Jiang Lai smiled, and he walked leisurely to the front, blocking Akai Shuichi's way to leave.

Akai Shuichi narrowed his eyes, showing some dangerous aura. Even though he was weak at this time, he did not show any signs of weakness. His muscles were tense and ready to deal with it.

But Jiang Lai didn't actually show any aggressive attitude. He just stood there, his brown eyes calm and serious: "I'm sorry, sir. But I think... you can't go out now."
