[As expected, writing a sequel is really fun~ It can be regarded as a brief description of how colorful the daily life of the organization is with Mingzai~]
Chapter 558 Expectation
Potter suppressed his anger and asked through gritted teeth: "Let's talk about the matter, don't talk nonsense."
After the usual provocation, Chu Ming also started to talk about business: "That woman from the FBI was with you before, how is she now? Is she still alive?"
Porter thought for a long time before he remembered who Chu Ming was talking about: "Are you talking about the foreign woman you brought back from the last operation? She was very stubborn, and Rum couldn't get any information from her, so she sent her to me."
"Tsk - didn't let her see any secrets? I wanted to use her to fish. If she saw anything, I would have to change my plan." Chu Ming tapped the table lightly with his fingers, frowning slightly.
Potter shook his head. "She was sent here a long time ago, and her injuries were too severe when she came. She hasn't recovered yet. Plus, there are a lot of experimental subjects recently, so I didn't take care of her."
"Okay, then you keep an eye on her and don't make any mistakes. This woman is an important part of my plan to lure the FBI. If she's gone, I'll have to disguise myself and add to my workload."
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up." Potter was about to hang up in a bad mood. It wasn't an important matter. Why not send an email if it can be said in one sentence? Who in the organization could be as idle as Granburch?
Chu Ming wanted to say something when the light screen in front of him went out instantly.
Alas, Porter's patience is getting worse and worse. Next time I go to the laboratory, I have to get more medicine to make up for the sadness of my video being hung today~

Chu Ming stayed in the base obediently for a long time. The virus spread so fast that there was almost no place in Japan that was not infected by the virus.
Even with the antidote brought to the laboratory by Toru Amuro, the Microbiology Research Institute still took some time and developed the antidote just when the virus was about to disappear.
He had also been observing Conan's whereabouts during this period, but the operation planned by Chu Ming himself did not leave any clues for Conan. Conan searched for a long time but found nothing. In addition, with the dissuasion of Haibara Ai, Conan finally returned empty-handed.
As Chu Ming's whereabouts were covered up by Haibara Ai, Conan never suspected anything.
I watched the good news that the antidote to the virus had been developed repeatedly on TV, and the Microbiology Research Institute was praised for its diligent and conscientious work to develop the antidote.
Chu Ming turned around and raised his eyebrows at Gin with some pride: "Everything went as I expected. I am really amazing."
Gin sneered and said nothing.
Chu Ming didn't take it seriously and continued, "The virus incident is basically over now. The FBI will probably get the news that they have been smeared soon. Have someone keep a close eye on them during this period. The FBI will probably send someone into the country again. It would be best if we could find out where they are at once, so that I can perform my next act better."
Gin tilted his head to look at Vodka, who understood: "I have already notified the intelligence team, and Rum also said that they will have people pay more attention to it. But Rum also asked Bourbon what exactly you want to do with it."
Chu Ming smiled and said, "Bourbon, when he comes back to hand in the mission, I will be able to take him to meet the BOSS. Rum's brainwashing has already prepared him. Don't worry, after this incident, you will see a Bourbon who is completely loyal to the organization."
Gin's fingers clenched the wall of the wine glass and poured cold water on Chu Ming in a deep voice: "These rats are all trained. Don't fail to turn them against you and instead send out the information."
"I know they are determined, but I have done a lot of preparation to take down Bourbon. Even if he finally breaks free from the brainwashing, can a person who has been blackened return to the sun?" Chu Ming's eyes were heavy, and he leaned on the sofa and glanced at Gin. "For someone like Bourbon who has too many things on his shoulders, we have to start with the things he cares about."
"Just know it yourself." Gin didn't care about it at all. Even if Bourbon failed to brainwash him, it would just be a matter of firing one more shot for him.
Chu Ming shook his phone and said, "I have already sent an email to the little hero in Japan. He will come to the base to meet the boss soon. I will go and talk to the boss first."
"You haven't told the boss yet about introducing Bourbon to him?" Vodka was a little surprised. "You're using this as a bargaining chip before the boss agrees?"
"I forgot—" Chu Ming stretched, "It's okay, the boss won't disagree. Anyway, we can't see the real boss through the video, at most we can see a fat crow."
"..." Vodka was speechless. Only Chu Ming would downplay such a big thing as meeting the BOSS so lightly.
Chu Ming tapped away on his phone to send a message to his boss, sending him his plan in the form of a short essay, while telling him how he had been so busy organizing the organization that he had forgotten to check in with him first...
Karasuma Renye was speechless when he received the news. Didn't he know how happy Granburch was having such a happy life during this period?
He teases cats and dogs and stirs up trouble every day. How many people in the organization have not been harassed by him?
Does being busy for an organization mean being busy adjusting the moods of its members?
However, he did not refuse Granburch's small request. After all, he was very familiar with making big promises to others. Recently, the organization did not have any new recruits that they were interested in, so he had not met any new recruits for a long time, and he had not made big promises to others for a long time. Thinking about it, he felt a little nostalgic.
After receiving the news that Karasuma Renya agreed, Chu Ming asked Vodka to take Bourbon over.
The base he is in now is the one where he got drunk for the first time. It is ranked high and non-core personnel are not allowed to enter, so there is no way to give the address and let Bourbon come by himself. Vodka still needs to pick him up secretly, and Bourbon cannot see the route during this process.
When Bourbon entered the gate of the base and took off the blindfold, he saw Chu Ming sitting on the sofa without any disguise, and Gin sitting next to him with a relaxed posture and drinking from a glass. He knew that he was about to reach the core of the organization.
This base should be the core base of the organization.
Seeing him coming, Chu Ming asked him to sit down and brought him a glass of wine: "Come, sit down, you're welcome."
Bourbon did not refuse. He sat on the sofa opposite and took a sip from his glass. He actually did not touch it at all. “When can I see the boss?”
Chu Ming shook the juice in his glass. He was in a somewhat sullen mood. He put a drink in the glass instead of wine. It was a complete mess. "Why are you in such a hurry? Can the boss still run away? Meeting the boss is such an important matter. Shouldn't we celebrate first?"
He raised the glass and drank it in one gulp, to avoid losing face if Bourbon found out it was juice. Then he raised his chin to signal Bourbon to drink it too.
Although he was cautious and didn't want to drink it, Bourbon also knew that he had to drink this wine, so he followed Chu Ming's example and drank it all in one gulp.
Watching Bourbon swallow the wine, Chu Ming stood up and said, "Let's go. The boss is waiting for you. Are you looking forward to it?"
Bourbon's eyes flashed with excitement: "Of course, I am looking forward to it."
Chu Ming glanced at Bourbon, whose eyes were shining, and smiled too.
He was also looking forward to the Bourbon who was completely sunk into darkness.
Chapter 559 Extra 2
Chu Ming put the nine cards on the table after shuffling their order: "Come and draw the cards. You can only look at the cards yourself, not others. The one who draws the king card should reveal his identity. The last card left on the table is the king's number card, which cannot be turned over before the king gives the order. If no one draws the king card, it means it is the one on the table, and we have to reshuffle the cards and draw again."
The rules were not complicated, so they understood them easily and randomly drew a card from the table. Based on the premise of not trusting other people's character, everyone silently prayed that they would draw the king card.
"Oh, I'm the king~" Vermouth smiled charmingly, turned over the king card in her hand and placed it on the table, with uncontrollable teasing and cunning in her eyes.
For the first time, Gin felt regretful. He felt that he shouldn't have agreed to play games with them. Vermouth always wanted to cause chaos...
Chu Ming pushed the remaining card in the middle of the table to her, Vermouth, and reminded her: "This is your number, don't shoot yourself in the foot."
It was their first time playing, so Vermouth didn’t ask for anything too much. She smiled and said, “Well, number 3, give number 8 a drink~”
Gin felt that everyone's eyes were on Granburch for a moment. He was a little confused, but he continued to observe calmly. Then he heard Vermouth add: "If No. 8 is Granburch, then give him water."
Chu Ming was a little dissatisfied: "Why am I the water? Can't I drink alcohol?"
Vermouth shook the king card in his hand: "The king's order is absolute~"
Chu Ming flipped open his number and said, "It's not me anyway. I'm number 6."
Vodka silently turned over his cards. He drew number 8, but he didn't know who was number 3...
He looked around among the crowd, trying to see who his partner was, and saw that Gin was getting even colder. On the serial number card in front of him, the huge number 3 occupied the entire card.
"Wuhu~It's Gin!!" Chu Ming was the first to applaud, expressing his gloating to the fullest.
Gin once again regretted why he agreed to play this game. Even if he wanted to know the information, couldn't he be the referee?
But he was not the type to escape. He glanced at the trembling Vodka beside him, picked up the wine and put it directly to Vodka's mouth: "Drink."
Vodka wrinkled his face, tilted his head back and gulped down the wine in one gulp, almost choking himself.
Gin is a person who has no caring personality at all, and I wish I could pour all the wine into his mouth at once.
He wiped the wine that had spilled all over his face with his hand and sat back silently.
The game continues.
Before Gin could reveal his cards, he heard Granburch burst into arrogant and triumphant laughter.
He raised his head and looked at Granburch, who was standing on a stool, waving the trump card in his hand vigorously and laughing crazily. He always felt that the mental state of the members of this organization was worrying.
In the end, it was Bourbon who stopped Granburch and pulled him off the stool.
Chu Ming's eyebrows and hair were all shouting with pride: "Well, No. 4 and Gin will have a fight, and the loser will call the boss to complain~"
"..."
Silence was the dominant tone tonight.
No one spoke for a long while, and Gin felt that his blood pressure seemed to rise.
What kind of a request was this? Fighting him was fine, but also involving the boss?
If I really call him, will the boss tolerate it?
It's simply life-threatening.
Seeing that no one spoke, Granburch urged: "Hurry up, turn over the cards quickly~"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally turned over their cards silently. After being with Granburch for a long time, the gene for making trouble in their bones was still stirring. As long as they were not the ones who were in trouble, no one wanted to miss out on watching other people's fun.
Vodka wiped the sweat from his head. Fortunately, he was No. 1.
Vermouth smiled and revealed her card, number 2.
Chianti and Ken let out a long breath, it wasn't them either.
As more and more cards were turned over, Chu Ming lost his previous arrogance and slowly sat up straight. Could it be that number 4 was him? No way, no way, no one could be so unlucky, right?
Lafitte gloated as he turned over his cards: "Could it be that number 4 is you? Is it because Gin hasn't practiced with you for a long time, and you want to use this method to relive it?"
Chu Ming said stubbornly: "So what if it's me? It's not like I can't beat Gin. The loser would go to the boss and cry. I will definitely win."
But as the cards in his hand were turned over, the smile on Lafitte's face gradually stiffened and shifted to Chu Ming's face.
"Come on, No. 4. Gin is waiting for you~" Chu Ming poked Lafitte's hand and challenged him in a mean way, "You won't be knocked out by Gin with one punch, will you? Then when you complain to the boss, you'll have to talk it over nicely."
The people around him also believed that it would be better for their friends to die than for them to die. At least it was good enough that they were not the ones to suffer, and they were enjoying watching the fun.
Gin silently rolled up his sleeves, stood up and looked at Lafitte, signaling him to make the first move.
Lafitte was silent for a while, then uttered three words: "I give up."
"That won't work, you haven't fought yet." Chu Ming urged him, "How do you know you can't win if you don't try? Gin hasn't been on a mission for a long time. He's been drinking and sleeping in the base lately. Maybe his skills have declined. Give it a try and the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle. If you win by chance, he will be the one to call the boss!"
Lafitte's heart was moved. He looked at Gin who was standing casually, hesitated for a while, and finally chose to attack with a punch.
Then he was knocked down with one move.
Lafitte lay on the ground with a resentful look in his eyes: "Can't you just let me have two moves? If I get knocked down with one move, it would make me look like a loser..."
Chu Ming stepped forward and pulled the man up: "Quick, quick, make a video call to the BOSS, we are still waiting to play the next game~"
Lafitte was dragged to the contact screen and pressed the button with a fearless attitude.
After a while, the black crow symbolizing the BOSS appeared on the screen: "Lafitte?"
Then the boss probably saw several members of the action team through the camera and asked in a puzzled tone: "What are they doing, a party?"
