Chianti looked at Chu Ming suspiciously with a confident expression, then looked back at Belmode. After weighing the pros and cons, he complained to Chu Ming: "Belmode said on the way that it was you who planted the bomb."
Chu Ming acted very calmly: "How is it possible? Why would I go to the Red Castle Restaurant to plant a bomb? I have been playing in the Fantasy Park all day today~ Did you see me in the restaurant? No, you must have been deceived by her. Maybe she was the one who planted the bomb~"
"..." Vermouth was speechless as she watched Chu Ming pass the buck without any psychological burden.
Without waiting for Chianti to say anything else, Chu Ming quickly changed the subject: "Didn't you go to catch Shirley? Didn't you catch her?"
Lafitte sat down on the sofa, squinting at Chu Ming, and said with some resentment: "That's not Shirley at all, guess who it is?"
Chu Ming continued to play dumb: "I don't know? Who is it?"
"What a coincidence! The person who disguised herself as Shirley turned out to be Vermouth, the one you invited to go to the amusement park with today!" Lafitte said sarcastically, "You, a companion, didn't know anything about this?"
"Ah, this - is this true?" Chu Ming's eyes drifted, and suddenly he threw a basin of dirty water on Vermouth, "Hiss, Vermouth, you left me halfway just to disguise yourself as Shirley and plant the bomb? Are you planning to follow my example and send a wanted order to Shirley?"
"..." Belmode looked at Chu Ming with an indescribable look in her eyes, "Don't you feel guilty when you say this?"
Chu Ming touched his heart skillfully and pretended to be deep: "I have confirmed it through your eyes. I don't have such a thing."
Vermouth was speechless and gave Chu Ming an elegant eye roll.
Finding that no one was useful at the scene, and that a few mouths could not beat Chu Ming alone, Gin stopped watching the show and said, "Okay, there is a mission."
The moment Chu Ming heard the word "mission", he fell on the sofa. "Hiss - my wound hurts, Lafitte, Lafitte, come and help me, is my wound inflamed and I'm going to have a fever, and soon I'll be lying in bed and unable to get up?"
Seeing Chu Ming diagnose his own problems and even arrange a treatment for himself, Lafitte's mouth twitched: "Your injury has healed and you are fully capable of doing the job. As for me, I have been working so hard for your injury that I can't eat or sleep well. Why don't you let me take on this mission?"
Vermouth blinked and leaned back on the sofa: "Actually, I also--"
"Shut up." Gin said coldly, looking at the three gathered salted fish, murderous aura bubbling out, "No one can escape."
“Oh…” Chu Ming pursed his lips and sat up straight as if nothing had happened, as if the person who was so weak just now was not him. He glanced at Vermouth and Lafitte, “Can you two not copy me and find other excuses? You two have dragged me down and I can’t take leave. I have to carry out the mission with a seriously injured body. Sigh.”
"...Have some shame, you should be very happy in the summer, right?" Lafitte couldn't help but retorted.
Vermouth cooperated well and acted as a perfect supporting actor: "Oh? Why?"
"Because I'm thick-skinned, even mosquitoes can't bite me~" Chu Ming's main point was that he was shameless. He took over the conversation himself and didn't give Lafitte any room to speak.
"..."
"..."
Everyone present turned their heads to look at Chu Ming, with very complicated expressions on their faces.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Chu Ming held his head high, appearing very proud.
Haha, are you more shameless than him?
Who here can compare to him?
Chapter 528 I have a way
"What is the specific task?" Seeing that Gin didn't get to the point for a long time, Chu Ming couldn't help but urge him.
"The organization has several biological companies under its name, and recently it expanded a microbiology research institute in Nishitama City. It originally intended to distance itself from the organization and whitewash its cooperation with the official. But just now, that research institute was attacked and blown up by a terrorist organization, and the bacteria inside disappeared." Gin's eyebrows were cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.
"Is there no one watching over the organization's industry? Can it be hit in the face by some random people?" Chianti threw a piece of gum into his mouth and muttered to himself while chewing.
"What the boss meant was that the Public Security Bureau and the FBI were a bunch of rats who had been keeping an eye on our actions. Since you want to have an open base and industry, then we should completely separate them." Gin was not in a very good mood either. After all, this was all the money he had worked hard to earn, and being attacked by an organization that had no reputation at all ten years ago was a slap in his face.
He paused and continued, "So when this research institute was opened, the organization did not send anyone to secretly protect it. Everything went through normal procedures, and they even cooperated with the authorities and were recruited by the authorities. I thought that after being recruited, I could use this microbiology company to steal experimental data that was not disclosed to the public by the authorities, but now everything has been destroyed!"
"What do we need to do?" Lafitte leaned on the sofa, "Go and find out this ignorant organization?"
"Almost." Gin turned and raised his chin to Vodka, and Vodka understood and handed the information to everyone.
Gin looked at the people who were looking through the information: "This is the news that the terrorist organization posted online, as well as the intelligence that I asked Vodka to investigate. You can take a look first."
Chu Ming took the information and got a general understanding of it.
This organization calls itself the Red Siamese Cats and is currently arrogantly stating online that it was they who attacked the Microbiology Institute and that they will carry out the next terrorist attack within seven days.
The following is the general information of this red Siamese cat. This organization was quite famous ten years ago. At that time, it mainly attacked some large Japanese conglomerates and companies to seize their finances. However, it was captured by the police with the assistance of Suzuki Group's consultant Suzuki Jikichiro ten years ago. After that, it disappeared and has not appeared since.
The bacteria they stole this time are a biochemical virus with a mortality rate of up to 80%. It can be transmitted through breathing, droplets and other channels, causing itchy red rashes on people's bodies and continuous high fever until death.
Chu Ming tapped the paper with his fingertips and squinted his eyes slightly: "If we only want to wipe out the Red Siamese Cat organization, we shouldn't need so many people, right? Does the boss have any other instructions?"
"The virus that was blown up by the red Siamese cat remains in the organization. Although it is said to the outside world that there is no medicine that can alleviate the treatment, there is actually an antidote for this virus. So what the boss means is that we can make good use of this virus, eliminate dissidents, and use the antidote to bring the research institute back into the public and official vision." Gin spoke the boss's decision word by word.
The moment Chu Ming heard it clearly, he took a deep breath and sat up straight: "Boss, are you going to spread the virus?"
In this case, the boss's ambitions are not small. With the red Siamese cat as a shield, even if the truth is revealed, no one will know that there is an organization involved here.
But if something goes wrong, this virus may spread across the ocean and infect the whole world, which would be a serious matter.
"I don't think it's a good idea." Chu Ming's face was serious. "If the virus spreads, the antidote we've researched will be nothing but a drop in the bucket. Don't light a fire and get yourself burned."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chu Ming. Chianti laughed exaggeratedly, "Huh? Granburch, you are not soft-hearted, are you? Even if the virus spreads, so what? That's just right. The organization can take advantage of the opportunity to rule the world~"
Looking at Chianti who was daydreaming, Chu Ming's mouth twitched, and he looked at the people around her: "Do you think so too?"
Lafitte was dreaming with his chin in his hand, not paying any attention to Chu Ming's words: "In that case, how about letting me be the savior? Watanabe Wada, a famous doctor in Tokyo, has developed an antidote to the mysterious virus and saved Japan from the dire situation~"
Vermouth was flipping through the documents perfunctorily, making a loud rustling sound. She acted as if she was very serious, but in fact, judging from her eyes, she should have been distracted a long time ago.
Vodka was very cooperative and nodded vigorously following what Chu Ming said, but looking at the confused look on his face, he probably didn't hear clearly what Chu Ming was saying.
Chu Ming looked at the group of people in the room who didn't think but just wanted to take action, and rubbed his forehead helplessly. Sometimes he really sympathized with Gin. What kind of people were these? They just wanted to follow orders and take action without using their brains.
Forget it, Chu Ming stopped looking at the other people and turned to Gin and asked, "Gin, what do you think?"
"I will do whatever the boss tells me to do. If you have any opinions, go talk to the boss first," Gin said briefly and to the point, without any verbal abuse.
"..." Chu Ming stood up and walked towards the room where Lafitte had contacted the boss before, "Then wait for me to go and talk to the boss."
After the BOSS connected the communication, Chu Ming rarely looked serious and analyzed the pros and cons of the matter to the BOSS.
The main reason is that there has never been a global virus in this world, so even if the boss is smart and feels that everything is under his control, he cannot imagine what consequences this globally spreading virus will cause.
But Chu Ming is different. In his previous life, he had experienced a virus event that swept the world. The impact of that event was huge, and it eventually spread from one country to all countries in the world, causing the global economy to regress greatly and industries such as catering and tourism to almost collapse.
The organization is actually involved in quite a lot of these areas. Why should it drastically reduce its assets for the sake of an incomprehensible terrorist organization?
These will all be his from now on!!
Not to mention a five-point reduction, he wouldn't be happy even if it was slightly damaged.
Besides, it’s just catching a red Siamese cat. Is there no other way?
"Boss, I actually have a solution—"
Chapter 529 We are all willing to sacrifice everything for the organization
After Chu Ming finished explaining his simple and crude method, he added: "The bombing of the Microbiology Research Institute does not mean that we have lost the opportunity to connect with the authorities. Our demonstration of corresponding value is indeed more conducive to the subsequent connection with the authorities.
However, large-scale bacterial and viral infections can easily mutate, and if the antidote in the organization's inventory fails, it may even implicate the organization. My suggestion is that there is no need to separate this microbiology research institute from the organization."
Seeing that the boss didn't say anything, as if waiting for him to continue, Chu Ming didn't pause any longer: "I know what direction the organization has been researching in terms of drugs. If that's the case, why can't we make that research institute a semi-public external contact point for the organization at the upper level?"
Karasuma Renya seemed to have grasped something. He was able to control a business that covered almost half of the world, so he was naturally no mediocre person. He instantly understood the implication of Chu Ming's words. He wanted to use Changsheng as bait to involve all the top leaders of Japan's business and political circles.
But he disagreed. "Granburch, you think too simply. Do you think those upper-class celebrities really don't know anything about the organization's research? They know very well what the organization is researching. Although I inherited the wealth of the Karasuma family, I was able to expand this business over the past hundred years. Even most countries in the world now have traces of the organization, which is inseparable from this research. Who among those in high positions doesn't want to live forever? In addition to betting on the organization, they must be conducting these experiments in private."
Karasuma Renye paused, and explained his considerations to Chu Ming in detail. He didn't know how much time he had left, so he had to train Chu Ming now: "That's why I didn't let this laboratory have anything to do with the organization. The power of the organization is a bit too great now, so the top leaders of various countries can't sit still and want to send people to infiltrate the organization. On the one hand, they want to strike some of the organization's industries appropriately to avoid raising a tiger for harm; on the other hand, they are also afraid that the organization will have research results but hide them from them.
I originally wanted to use the research of the virus antidote to show the value of the research institute in their field of vision, and finally gradually introduce the research of longevity and show some results in due course. By then, the top leaders will start to support the research institute and try to have a certain ability to compete with the organization, so they will definitely share their experimental data with the laboratory, and that is what I want. "
Chu Ming had never expected that the boss was playing such a big game. His eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his head to think carefully, with a tone of admiration: "As expected of the boss, he actually thought so far."
But in this case, it was fortunate that the laboratory was blown up, otherwise if the boss really got the data, if the issue of immortality was really broken, wouldn’t his successor be meaningless? The boss had originally appointed him as the successor because he thought he was about to die. If he found out that he could continue to live, it is obvious that he would not give up such a great power.
He would not gamble on his position in the boss's heart as a successor who came halfway to the throne. Chu Ming was very clear about his own position.
He felt that the BOSS's attitude towards him now was probably like that of a seriously ill, frail old man who suddenly found an interesting and lovable pet by his side, and he would tease the pet when he had nothing to do and give him some benefits from time to time to keep it hanging.
The so-called successor was nothing more than a whim after he knew that he didn't have much time left. Now, he is being trained only because they don't want the organization to be destroyed by the joint efforts of various countries after his death.
Therefore, the most perfect ending for him and the BOSS is that the BOSS experiment fails and he inherits the organization after his death.
Otherwise, once the BOSS experiment succeeds, the first person to be eliminated will be himself, the person who poses the greatest threat to his position.
This probably means that as long as the boss is alive, he can only be the prince forever.
Although the boss is really good to him now, he still hopes that the boss will give him power sooner. He also wants to try the joy of controlling half of the earth.
Strangely enough, this world made it difficult for him to feel involved.
He has been here for so long and met many people, but no matter who they are, they cannot make him feel a sense of belonging to this world.
He will not die or grow old. With the system as his golden finger, he always feels like he is just playing a holographic online game instead of living in a real world.
He has tried very hard to live his life. Whether he was following the protagonists to participate in a case, or following Gin and others to stir up trouble, he was having a lot of fun. But he was just having fun, just like playing a game. He was happy when he had someone to play with, that's all.
People always need some goals and some hopes before they are willing to move forward. In the past, he wanted to step on Gin, who was suppressing him and beating him, and let him taste the feeling of being beaten up.
Now the BOSS has chosen him as his successor and has gradually handed over the power in Japan to him, but being just an heir can no longer satisfy Chu Ming's appetite. He wants to be the BOSS, the head of the organization, leading the entire organization to the top of the world, or leading the world to destruction after failure.
After all, a small world is a small world. In his previous life, even as a mercenary, he never dared to think about such things.
After all, the system and this small world full of loopholes gave him confidence, always giving him the illusion that "this is just a game".
However, he also made some preparations. After all, if the BOSS experiment was successful, he couldn't just wait to be killed, right?
That's why he tried to win over Vermouth so early. Vermouth has many flower-guarding messengers in the organization. When the time comes, one Vermouth can summon countless bootlickers.
Now that Vermouth is in hand, it’s time for the next one. I just don’t know which one is easier to deal with, Lafitte or Gin… But Gin looks like a big fan of the boss, so it’s not likely that he’ll go to the boss to complain right after he poaches someone?
Forget it, take it slow, one day, he will be able to catch Gin's handle~
Chu Ming quickly calmed down. Even though it was a game, he had to abide by the rules. Now that he was the heir, he would play the role well.
"But what you said makes sense. Let's just forget about this virus attack. As for the cat-and-dog organization you just mentioned, if you don't need them as scapegoats, there's no need to go on such a stunt with them. Just kill them all. Isn't your script a bit too complicated for a simple problem?"
Thinking of Chu Ming's method, Karasuma Renya's mouth twitched. Sometimes he really wanted to see what was going on in Granburch's mind. He could even come up with such a simple and brainless script. Didn't he ever think about whether Gin was willing to act with him?
Chu Ming had an innocent look on his face, his eyes sparkling: "How can it be complicated? As long as the boss speaks, we will definitely go all out and dedicate everything to the future of the organization."
"..." So he was supposed to be the bad guy and speak first?
Seeing that the boss didn't say anything, Chu Ming continued: "I am also thinking about the organization, without any selfish motives! I was able to transform from sweet wine into a sweet girl for the organization, Bourbon could turn into a dark-skinned hot girl for the mission, and Vodka could turn into a muscular cute girl, so why can't Gin do the same! As long as you ask, he will definitely do it!"
"How do you want me to start? For a simple infiltration assassination mission, he has to dress up as a woman to kill? What? Does he mean he is merciful just because he wears men's clothes?" Karasuma Renya couldn't help but complain.
