Gin likes me?

"Bang!" The wine glass in his hand exploded instantly. Ignoring his bleeding palm that was pierced by the glass fragments, Uozuka Saburo grabbed the arm of Daimon Miyuki who was pressing down on his shoulder to prevent him from standing up suddenly. His voice was angry and shocked, and his eyes were flashing bloodshot.

"Damen, say it again!"

"Sit down first, Yuzhong, don't forget where this is." Glancing at the guests who were a little surprised by the sudden voice and began to look around, Daimon Yuxing endured the pain in his arm and said in a deep voice.

"Are you serious?" Looking at Daimon Miyuki who was so serious, Uozuka Saburo suppressed his anger and sat down heavily, but his eyes were fixed on Daimon Miyuki.

"It should be. My friend is the person in charge of conveying tasks below level three like us. He happened to remember that it was you who I was working with this time, so he thought of this matter." Rubbing his arm, Daimon Miyuki's tone was no longer slow, and he obviously felt the urgency of Uozuka Saburo.

"damn it!"

With his arms on the table, Uozuka Saburo tried to get up but was stopped again. Looking at Daimon Miyuki who was being led away from his seat by him, Uozuka Saburo growled in annoyance.

"What are you pulling me for, the gate! I want..."

"What are you going to do?! What can you do!" Holding Uozuka Saburo tightly, Daimon Miyuki's expression was even uglier than Uozuka Saburo's.

"Don't forget who we are, and don't forget that we are still on a mission! The organization's message is very clear, are you going to abandon the mission and go back to the building to cause trouble?!"

"Then I can't stay here like this! I want to go..."

"The organization doesn't even know where Kurosawa Hotaru is. What's the point of you going back? Calm down, Uozuka!"

“…Damn it!”

"Bang! (punches on table)"

204: You have to understand

"Is this really the case, Master?"

"Ah, although I thought that the guy at the gate would tell you this, I didn't expect him to express his opinion to you so directly."

A rather helpless voice came from the phone, and it seemed that one could see Vodka's uncomfortable expression from the voice.

However, the current Uozuka Saburo had no intention or room to consider Vodka's feelings.

"Is there still no news about the big sister?"

"First of all, Sanlang, you have to calm down. Otherwise, I won't tell you anything."

Facing Uozuka Saburo's aggressive questioning, Vodka's attitude became firm. His cold and serious tone pierced Uozuka Saburo's ears, forcing his angry eyes to calm down a lot.

"Huh, I'm very calm now, Master." After taking two deep breaths, Uozuka Saburo suppressed the irritation in his heart.

As a professional killer, although he cannot compare to Kurosawa Hotaru who can remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, Uozuka Saburo's ability to adjust himself is still very good.

If today's incident had nothing to do with Kurosawa Hotaru, Uozuka Saburo would not be as flustered as he is now.

"Well, be quiet and listen to me."

A puffing sound came from the phone, and Uozuka Saburo could tell that Vodka must have lit a cigarette.

What kind of situation was it that required the help of cigarettes for Vodka to be able to tell himself? A bad thought flashed through Saburo Uozuka's mind.

"Okay, I just want to smoke one. Stop thinking about that." Vodka cursed angrily when he heard the sudden heavy breathing of Uozuka Saburo on the phone.

Clearly, they had just had such a conflict in Osaka not long ago, but at this moment, both of them seemed to have completely forgotten about that incident.

"I don't actually know a lot about your big sister, Kurosawa Hotaru." Vodka exhaled a puff of smoke and recalled the information he had heard. His expression was not that natural.

Obviously, what happened to Kurosawa Hotaru was difficult for Vodka, a veteran who had worked in the organization for a long time, to understand.

"The information that Daimon was able to find out was not comprehensive, but he was right. The person who was expelled from the organization to assist Kurosawa Hotaru is indeed dead."

"And she killed him with her own hands."

"Killed him with your own hands?" Not caring about Vodka's sudden cold tone, Uozuka Saburo frowned.

It can be said that Uozuka Saburo knows Kurosawa Hotaru's character best in this world.

Although he thought that everything about Kurosawa Hotaru's personality was lovable, Uozuka Saburo also knew that that was only true when it came to himself.

Although under his subtle influence, Kurosawa Hotaru's initial indifference to life has changed a little, but Uozuka Saburo knows that if something really happens that makes Kurosawa Hotaru feel that it has affected her, then she will definitely not show mercy.

However, this does not mean that Kurosawa Hotaru will arbitrarily attack those who are assigned by the organization to assist her in her mission.

"Did that person find any problem?"

"You're thinking quickly enough. It seems you've really regained your composure." He nodded with satisfaction. If Uozuka Saburo didn't see the key and continued to ask about Kurosawa Hotaru's situation, Vodka would interrupt today's conversation even if it would make Uozuka Saburo resentful and dissatisfied later.

"That's right. After the organization sent people to investigate, we found that the member who was responsible for assisting Kurosawa Hotaru had records of communicating with other organizations behind the scenes. If my guess is correct, it should be your big sister who found something wrong and took the initiative to kill that guy."

"Take the first step. Master, you mean that someone has attacked the big sister?" Having keenly grasped the words in Vodka's words, Uozuka Saburo's expression became more and more serious.

Accidents occurring during missions assigned by the organization are always very dangerous, especially for people in an action team like theirs.

After all, in this country, there are too many organizations and groups, both official and private, that have not given up on tracking down and eliminating organizations.

"Who did it?"

"If my guess is correct, it should be someone from the FBI." The disdain in the voice was about to overflow from the phone. It was obvious that Vodka had no good feelings towards the FBI as an organization.

"After all, after the organization decided to use Neon as an important base of operations, these idle and bored guys have been catching up with them like maggots."

"I think you have not forgotten how the incident with Black Chess Eagle Shou turned out."

"It's those guys." Nodding in understanding, knowing the opponents that Kurosawa Hotaru might encounter this time, Uozuka Saburo took a deep breath and felt a little more dissatisfied with the FBI.

Although from the surface, my side is the bad guy, but who cares?

The only thing Uozuka Saburo cares about is Kurosawa Hotaru's safety; the rest of the people don't matter to him.

"That's right. The most important thing is that even I don't know what the goal of this operation is. You, me, Kurosawa Hotaru, and other people in the organization who are carrying out the mission are now confused in this plan. It seems that my initial judgment was not accurate. The organization does not simply want to see the ability of the highly anticipated future star of the organization."

He sighed deeply. At this moment, even Vodka, who had worked in the organization for so many years, felt a palpitation and a chill.

This is the true style of the organization. In order to achieve the goals that the organization wants to achieve, no one can be calculated, and no one can be abandoned as bait.

Although he didn't say anything, Vodka's decision became even firmer.

"The good news I can tell you is that Hotaru Kurosawa is not in any danger of life right now. I determined this based on the actions of those guys. As for why they haven't contacted the organization yet... I can only say that things we don't know about may not have happened. Do you understand?"

"...I understand, Master!" He nodded with difficulty. Although he felt extremely aggrieved, Uozuka Saburo knew that he really could not intervene in the current situation.

Instead of disrupting the organization's plan because of her own stubbornness, it is better to believe in Kurosawa Hotaru's ability to overcome danger on her own.

Damn it! It's so frustrating!

"Well, also, including the tasks you have now, and when the organization gives you new instructions in the future, you must pay attention to this."

"You have to guess what the organization's purpose is and who the enemy you should be most careful of during the mission, Saburo!"

"...I understand, Master. I will pay attention to it."

"Well, be careful."

205: I know Mr. Uozuka wouldn’t say that about me

"Is there nothing I can do?"

After hanging up the phone, Uozuka Saburo sat on the sofa dejectedly.

Although Vodka's words cheered up Saburo Uozuka a little, he couldn't be completely at ease when he thought about the unknown condition of his big sister.

"I should have cheated and become the deputy of the big sister earlier. That way, even if I encountered danger, I would be able to help the big sister, instead of being ignorant like now."

With his fists clenched tightly together, Uozuka Saburo could only keep telling himself in his heart that there was no need to worry about Kurosawa Hotaru's strength. She must have made her own judgment and the most correct decision. As long as the mission was successfully completed, she would come back to him.

"Who?"

Just as he was comforting himself, Saburo Uozuka suddenly turned his head. Because he had not completely suppressed the annoyance and anger in his heart, his eyes filled with murderous intent swept towards the second person who suddenly appeared in the room, shocking the other person to the spot and causing him to let out a cry of surprise.

"Mr. Uozuka, are you okay?"

However, the shock did not stop the visitor. With a slight click, the light in the living room was turned on, revealing Suzuki Ayako, who was holding a basket in her hands and looking at Uozuka Saburo with worry and concern on her face.

"It's Ayako. It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" The murderous intent in his eyes subsided, and Uozuka Saburo put on a not-so-nice smile on his face.

"Because I can't sleep." Suzuki Ayako walked slowly to Uozuka Saburo's side and sat down. She put the basket in her hand on the coffee table and looked at Uozuka Saburo's face with loving eyes.

"Although I told myself that I shouldn't get too involved in Mr. Uozuka's business, I couldn't calm down when I saw that Mr. Uozuka couldn't hide his anxiety and annoyance since he came back."

"...Ayako." He opened his mouth and looked at Suzuki Ayako, who was sitting next to him wearing only pajamas and a woolen shawl, and Uozuka Saburo suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart.

Yes, after learning about Kurosawa Hotaru's situation, Uozuka Saburo, who had been trying hard to suppress his increasingly violent emotions, is now in an unstable state.

He wanted to vent! He wanted to vent all the frustration in his heart that he couldn't do anything, and all the worry and fear about Kurosawa Hotaru's safety!

But he couldn't do that. Even though he was a killer, he was still a human being, not a beast!

"So you decided to come over now? This is your judgment. Do you think coming over now is the best choice for you and the moment that will move me the most?"

His face turned cold, and Uozuka Saburo said mercilessly words that could be regarded as contempt for Suzuki Ayako's personality!

He was very confused now. If he could force Suzuki Ayako away with cold and piercing words, he would not mind breaking the originally gentle relationship with Suzuki Ayako.

He had already decided to distance himself from Suzuki Ayako, but there was nothing wrong with doing it earlier!

"Get out of here. I don't want to see you or talk to you now."

Pointing his finger at the door, Uozuka Saburo forced himself to keep his eyes from Suzuki Ayako's face, trying to express his anger and determination with this attitude.

However, even in the face of such impolite words, Suzuki Ayako's eyes did not reveal a trace of anger or sadness.

She just maintained the same look she had at the beginning, that was gentle and distressed, as if she was extremely sad because of Uozuka Saburo's condition. Without making a sound, she interrupted the cold words that Uozuka Saburo was about to say next.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Uozuka. I'm really sorry that I couldn't do more for you when you were sad and upset."

A pair of soft and warm hands unconsciously grasped Uozuka Saburo's big hand.

He watched speechlessly as Suzuki Ayako held his hand and placed it next to her cheek, as gently as if she were holding some fragile treasure, but the touch gave Uozuka Saburo an unusually powerful feeling. Uozuka Saburo was silent and could not utter a word, but the icy indifference in his eyes had begun to fade away little by little.

"No, you don't need to apologize. I'm the one who should say sorry."

Driven by an unknown impulse in his heart, Uozuka Saburo took the initiative for the first time to hold Suzuki Ayako's petite and soft hand with his backhand, and even gently rubbed Suzuki Ayako's cheek with the back of his hand.

"I am a little emotionally broken and said such harsh words to you. I really apologize..."

"It doesn't matter, because I knew from the beginning that Mr. Uozuka is such a gentle person, he would never say such things to me." With a smile of trust on her face, Suzuki Ayako shook her head slightly and spoke in a light but firm voice.

"And I also believe that Mr. Uozuka can sense what I am thinking."

Holding Uozuka Saburo's hand firmly, Suzuki Ayako slowly moved it from her cheek to her heart. Without any temptation, she expressed her feelings to Uozuka Saburo so sincerely.

"I know, I know." The restlessness and impulsiveness in his heart disappeared at this moment. Feeling the softness coming from his palm, Uozuka Saburo did not have any distracting thoughts and just nodded gently.

"Well, I brought some food. Mr. Uozuka probably didn't eat anything after coming back today. This won't do. Although Mr. Uozuka is in good health, people are made of iron and food is made of steel."

Finally, her usual gentle smile appeared on her face. Suzuki Ayako took the initiative to let go of Uozuka Saburo's hand, moved to sit closer to Uozuka Saburo, then reached out to open the small basket she had brought, took out the steaming food one by one, and finally took out a bottle of wine and two small wine glasses.

"Would you please eat something first, Mr. Uozuka?" Suzuki Ayako pulled out the chopsticks from the chopstick holder and handed them to Uozuka Saburo with both hands, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Okay." Pursing his lips and feeling the aroma, Uozuka Saburo obediently took the chopsticks from Suzuki Ayako's hand.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear the hunger in his stomach, but looking at the dishes that were all his favorites, Uozuka Saburo knew that he couldn't refuse the care and concern of this girl, Suzuki Ayako.

Seeing Uozuka Saburo wolfing down his food, the smile on Suzuki Ayako's face became even gentler.

She said nothing, but opened the wine she brought, placed the cup next to Uozuka Saburo's hand, and poured a full cup.

For the rest of the time, the two of them didn't say a word. Uozuka Saburo just ate and drank, and Suzuki Ayako just sat next to him and helped pour the wine.

And so it went on for a long, long time.

206: I didn’t sleep all night, you bastard!

"What's wrong? Didn't you get enough rest yesterday? Why do you look a little absent-minded today?"

When they stopped at a red light, Tanaka Qi couldn't help his curiosity. He handed Uozuka Saburo a cigarette and asked a question.

"Ah, nothing, I just didn't sleep well yesterday." Subconsciously taking the cigarette, Uozuka Saburo answered vaguely.

"I didn't sleep well. That's normal. I didn't sleep well yesterday either."

Nodding in agreement, Tanaka Qi, who had already lit a cigarette, looked at the flashing red light in front of him and replied in a subtle tone.

"...Were you on night shift again last night?"

His somewhat confused brain finally came to its senses. Looking at the subtle expression of Tanaka Flag beside him, Uozuka Saburo knew what he wanted to express.
