"No need to explain, just these few tasks." Gin deliberately misinterpreted Chu Ming's meaning and forwarded the task details to Chu Ming.
???
"I'm not talking about the mission!" Chu Ming stopped and didn't follow Gin out. "I'm talking about what happened between Lafitte and Vermouth! I want to hear it, I won't leave until Big Brother tells me!!!"
"...Get up, stop rolling on the ground." Gin looked at Chu Ming, who was rolling around on the ground without any image burden, and felt his blood pressure rise. "I'll tell you on the way."
"Okay, big brother, let's go!" Chu Ming jumped up from the ground and ran out with Gin in his hand.
Chapter 534: Lafitte's Past
On the way, Chu Ming drove the car for Gin earnestly, but Gin sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed and had no intention of speaking at all.
Chu Ming couldn't hold back and stepped on the brakes. The speeding car suddenly stopped. Chu Ming made preparations in advance and steadied his body. However, Gin was unconsciously thrown forward by Chu Ming's sudden kick. Then he immediately used his waist to steady his body. He looked around with sharp eyes, and when he found no danger, he turned his gaze to Chu Ming.
Chu Ming turned his face away and didn't look at Gin. He muttered something that Gin couldn't hear at all, but he knew it wasn't a good thing.
"..."If looks could kill, Chu Ming would have died seven or eight times by now.
Gin didn't say anything for a long while. Chu Ming turned his head back, looked at his face and asked: "Are you angry?"
"drive."
Chu Ming leaned back in his chair, his face not looking good: "I'm not angry yet, you were like a saw-mouthed gourd and didn't say a word the whole way, you didn't even talk about the gossip we agreed to share, you just leaned back in your chair and fell asleep, I drove for you for nothing? Do you really think I'm your driver?"
With his current status, driving for Gin can be considered as being humble!
"It's not that I won't tell you." Gin thought for a long time and spoke carefully, "It's just that there's nothing to say."
???
Chu Ming was confused and looked at Gin, motioning him to elaborate.
Gin took out a cigarette, then thought about putting it back. Chu Ming took the cigarette butt eagerly, handed it to Gin, and then rolled down the window: "Brother, you smoke, don't worry about me."
Gin didn't refuse. He bit the cigarette butt and took a puff, then slowly exhaled a cloud of misty smoke: "I told you before that Lafitte was the world-famous brain surgeon Rob Rex."
Chu Ming acted as a good listener, responding from time to time: "Yeah."
"The Rex family was a famous British medical family in the last century, but there was a serious struggle for power within the family. When Lafitte joined the organization, he was dying, and he volunteered to be the drug tester for the boss."
Gin spoke neither fast nor slow, but his words were bland. No matter how explosive the news was, it always felt like it lost its flavor when it came out of his mouth. But there was nothing he could do, as Gin was the only one around him who knew these gossips. He just had to make do with it.
However, this passage can only explain that Lafitte does not like infighting, but Gin did not mention the story between him and Vermouth at all.
"So what's going on between him and Vermouth? I think there seems to be some story between him and Vermouth..."
Gin frowned: "What story?"
"Aren't I asking you?" Chu Ming was speechless. How could the question be thrown back to himself?
The story is not good, and even the storyteller himself is unaware of some things. Tsk, the melon is not sweet and it is not pleasant to eat.
Chu Ming looked back at Gin again. He had finished eating the unpalatable melon, so he might as well just leave Gin here...
Suddenly, Gin spoke again: "Although the Resk family was famous back then, it was just a beautiful facade because of the lack of talent. The internal expenses were insufficient, so the solution adopted by the head of that generation was to cut down the useless side branches. Although Lafitte belongs to the side branch, he showed a talent for medicine at a young age. With him, their branch naturally does not need to be cut down."
Chu Ming, based on his years of experience watching melodramatic TV series, put his hand on his neck and scratched it, guessing: "Could it be that the head of the family is jealous of his talent and is afraid that his next generation will not be able to match him, so he hired someone to kill him——?"
"No, it's his 'friend'." Gin's voice was full of obvious sarcasm. "Lafitte was world-famous for his brain science back then. He got to know a lot of people through this. At that time, the head of the Resk family was old, and his two sons were fighting for power. Both of them were trying to win over Lafitte. Although Lafitte grew up with the youngest son of the head of the family and had a deep friendship, he knew that his 'good friend' was actually no match for his sinister and vicious brother, so he advised him to give up."
"The eldest son heard about this from somewhere. He felt that Lafitte had a deeper relationship with his brother. Although he advised his brother to give up, he had no intention of getting close to him. In the power struggle, those who are not on his side are naturally enemies. Since he can't get it, he might as well destroy it. He invited Lafitte to a meeting, and then spread the news that Lafitte had surrendered to him."
"When the younger brother heard the news, he believed it without questioning it. In his opinion, Lafitte's persuasion of him to surrender to his brother was already a betrayal, and this news only further confirmed his thoughts.
So when Lafitte was going back, his brother sent people to block him on the roadside, smashed his fingers with stones, splashed water on him when he fainted from the pain, and cut his tendons in his hands and feet. Finally, he pretended to say that although Lafitte had taken refuge with his brother, he would not kill him because of the friendship they had grown up together.
Chu Ming was stunned by the amount of information Gin provided. It turned out that this was why Lafitte hated fighting for power: "And then what? None of this has anything to do with Vermouth!"
"Lafitte's status in the organization is actually higher than Vermouth." Gin suddenly said something irrelevant.
"But Lafitte obviously respects Vermouth. I thought it was because Vermouth is the boss's relative, so he gave her some face. Isn't that right..." Chu Ming understood something instantly and guessed, "Was Lafitte saved by Vermouth?"
Gin nodded slightly: "According to the files, Lafitte was introduced to the organization by Vermouth, and the experiment that year was completed by the two of them together."
"Were Vermouth and Lafitte the only two people who participated in the experiment back then?" Chu Ming stood up. "What kind of experiment was that?"
Gin took a deep puff of his cigarette, and his usually sharp eyes became gloomy. "The experiment to break through the shackles of life, the number of people who participated in the experiment, whether voluntarily or forced, was estimated to be over ten thousand, but only Lafitte and Vermouth survived."
"Didn't the boss participate in that experiment?" Chu Ming was a little confused, "I thought--"
"The boss is a cautious person. He won't take that step unless he is completely sure." Gin threw the cigarette butt out of the car window. "I've heard what you wanted to hear. Let's drive."
Chu Ming actually had a lot more questions he wanted to ask, but it was obvious that Gin felt that he had said too much and stopped talking, so he just shut up and started driving.
Forget it, I'll find a chance to ask Vermouth later.
Gin is becoming more and more impatient. When he was his younger brother, his attitude was quite kind. But now that he has a higher status, Gin is not willing to tell him stories.
Alas, the world is becoming more corrupt and people’s hearts are no longer the same as they used to be. Could it be that Gin is jealous of his status... right?
Chapter 535 Artistic Creation
It was actually quite quick to complete missions with Gin. After all, there was no need for him to do anything. He just treated himself as Vodka and just needed to be a good driver. For some missions, he didn't even have to get out of the car. He could just send Gin to his destination and then watch Gin get into the car surrounded by the cold wind that smelled of blood.
Everyday Envy Vodka (1/1)
When Gin came back after finishing a task at hand, he looked with a headache as he saw Chu Ming leaning on the steering wheel in a daze.
"Are you going to be a driver today?"
When Chu Ming heard the voice, he immediately sat up straight and smiled: "Hello, passenger, welcome to take my old taxi. Front seat passengers, please fasten your seat belts. Hello, passenger, welcome to take my old taxi..."
"Enough, shut up." Gin rubbed his forehead. It would be better for him to do the mission alone next time. Granburch was indeed a bit noisy.
"Okay passenger, no problem passenger, where is your next destination passenger?"
"…Return to base."
Chu Ming stepped on the accelerator and rushed back to the base at lightning speed.
When they entered, the base was still the same as when they left in the morning. Vodka and his friends had not slept the whole night and were now catching up on some sleep. Lafitte and Vermouth had not returned yet.
"They have slept until the afternoon, so they will have to stay up all night again..." Chu Ming did not think that he was the culprit at all. Instead, he sighed, "They really don't sleep at night and don't wake up during the day."
Seeing that Gin ignored him, Chu Ming waved his hand and said, "I will leave right after I change my appearance. I will go see if I can get a ticket to the airship. Gin, you can arrange the rest. If there is any change, notify me."
Gin nodded slightly, then lowered his head to continue looking at his information.
After returning to the room, Chu Ming used his points to cover up all his injured parts with newly scabbed scars, and carefully left a little smell of disinfectant on his body before setting out to find Conan.
There is no other way. Facing a dog nose like Conan, you can't leave any loopholes.
It happened to be a holiday today, so Conan didn't go out and stayed at home. He didn't know why there were so many holidays in the world of science.
"Brother Chu Ming!" Conan's eyes lit up the moment he saw Chu Ming, "Are you feeling better?"
"As long as I can run and jump, I'm fine." Chu Ming smiled and sat down on the sofa.
Conan sniffed the faint smell of disinfectant in the air, then looked at Chu Ming's pale face, which seemed to be from a serious illness. He poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, "Why don't you take a rest?"
"My bones are rusty from lying in bed. Watanabe also told me that I could get out of bed and walk around more, but I walked around and found it boring, so I decided to come and play with you. After all, you two usually do a lot of activities." Chu Ming leaned on the sofa, holding the water cup with his slender fingers, his eyebrows slightly drooping, looking particularly melancholy.
Conan immediately suggested, "Why don't you come with us to ride the Sonoko family's airship, Brother Chu Ming? You've been in the ward for a long time, so going to a place with a wide view will be a good opportunity to relax."
Chu Ming did not refuse. His main purpose of coming here was to get into the airship team.
However, even though he achieved his goal, he did not just leave. Instead, he shamelessly had dinner at the detective agency before staggering home.
As soon as I get home, I draw the curtains, turn on the computer, and start a new chapter of literary creation.
After hearing some gossip from Gin, he now felt that his literary inspiration was flowing like a spring.
Isn’t Lafitte’s experience the standard routine of the male protagonist in the old-fashioned Qidian?
He was betrayed by his best friend when he was young, but was saved by his beloved. He participated in a crazy experiment, experienced nine deaths and finally achieved nirvana. Then he returned with a strong attitude and slapped the faces of all those who had bullied him...
Tsk tsk tsk, but the plot still needs to be changed a bit, otherwise he will be furious if Lafitte finds out.
Although the truth has been known by Rum and Gin, what does it matter? They are not the kind of people who like gossip.
His fingertips moved rapidly on the keyboard, and characters flashed quickly on the screen.
"...
This is a story of a starting point. The old lord of Edo Castle is old and weak, but he holds great power. Although the young lord Wu Qi is young and strong, he has been in the position of young lord for too long and thinks that he can't be the crown prince for 20 years. So he intends to win the support of the world-famous general Dufei.
He sent his important official, Mr. Heiqin, to lobby, but was sternly rejected by General Dufei.
General Du Fei only cares about the justice of the world and the safety of the common people. He believes that although Wu Qi is the lord of the city, he only wants to fight for power and is not a wise leader at all.
However, the young city lord Wu Qi held a grudge, thinking that Du Fei was ungrateful, so he planned to send his second trusted general, the dancer Kianko, to lurk beside General Du Fei.
General Dufei has a beloved person, the imperial princess Bedie.
In his heart, Princess Bedde was like the moon in the sky and the flower in the fog. He would be satisfied as long as he could protect her from afar.
However, during one of Princess Bed's trips, she was assassinated by a small country on the border - Haokan. This assassination was an action that Haokan had planned for a long time. In addition, Princess Bed was traveling in secret this time and did not bring many guards.
When the assassination attempt came, the guards quickly took the princess and retreated while fighting.
On the way, he happened to meet General Du Fei who was out of the city hunting. Seeing that his goddess was attacked, Du Fei rushed forward immediately and fought single-handedly with the enemy forces.
During the struggle, because the other side had more people and more power and he had to protect the princess, General Du Fei was seriously injured and was dying.
The young city lord thought that Du Fei was unwilling to assist him, so he might as well take this opportunity to get rid of him. He sent people to kill him while he was sick, and took the opportunity to kill Du Fei, so that he could also take over the military power from him.
So he took a two-pronged approach, sending a large group of troops to pursue Du Fei, and at the same time sending a message to the dancer Kianko, asking her to stay with Du Fei at this time.
This way, even if the large group of people cannot kill Du Fei, Jianzi can still take action from within.
......"
Chu Ming became more and more excited as he wrote. He completely portrayed himself as a villain and even took advantage of the situation to make Gin his own man.
After all, it's art creation, so it's okay to make up some false stories, right?
He posted the part he had written on the dark web and went to sleep, totally ignoring how much shock this novel full of the flavor of power-seeking and usurping the throne had caused to those who browsed the dark web in the middle of the night.
Chapter 536 The fickle man
Chianti tried to make up for his sleep during the day, but as expected, he couldn't sleep in the second half of the night.
