Chapter 82 Two People with Their Own Hidden agendas
In a luxury apartment in the city center, Amuro Tooru skillfully tied on an apron, took out a pile of ingredients from the refrigerator and spread them on the table, beginning to consider what dishes to make today.
Cointreau has been "missing" for several weeks, but just now, after a long period of silence, Cointreau sent a message:
[I'm starving, I need to cook. — Cointreau]
Amuro Tooru was making tamagoyaki alone in the kitchen, wondering where Kimi had been these past few weeks and why he had disappeared for so long. In his opinion, this seemingly sickly boy was hiding quite a few secrets.
During Cointreau's disappearance, Amuro Tooru also wanted to sneak into Cointreau's room to look for clues, but it was hard to guarantee that there weren't cameras or surveillance cameras in the house. So he eventually gave up.
Since Cointreau allowed him free access to the apartment, it's hard to say whether Cointreau had made thorough preparations.
Just as Amuro Tooru was busy, the apartment door was suddenly kicked open with a bang, and a black figure rushed into the room quickly and staggeringly.
Amuro Tooru was startled and turned around abruptly—
Where did that big black rat come from that ran past? (No, it didn't.)
While Amuro Tooru was still in shock, Byakuya slammed the door shut.
Amuro Tooru, who witnessed the whole thing: ...?
After closing the door, Bai Yexiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a heavy sigh.
The drug the Boss tested on him was a top secret, and to be on the safe side, he couldn't be shown this state in front of an undercover agent like Amuro Tooru.
But...
Bai Yexiu looked at his hands, which were trembling from the adverse reactions. As long as he could get through the side effects of this test subject, the research could move forward. Although this test subject was not enough to completely cure the disease, it provided a detailed template for the research, and the organization's research would proceed more smoothly from now on.
Bai Yexiu struggled to control his trembling hands, took out his phone and typed out a few words: "My hands are trembling."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Amuro Tooru's voice came through the door: "Kundo, what's wrong?"
You could hear the concern in Amuro Tooru's voice.
"Thank you for your concern, Tou-chan. I just had an upset stomach." Junto glanced at the toilet built into his room and made up an excuse. Luckily, he had a toilet in his room, otherwise, this lie wouldn't have been able to stay true.
"If you need it, I'll go buy you some medicine," Amuro Tooru said considerately. It didn't sound out of place coming from him at all.
"No need," Bai Yexiu refused outright.
He's not really sick... well, even if he is, it's not this illness.
……
Ten minutes later, Bai Yexiu had adjusted his state, and Amuro Tooru had also prepared the meal.
Amuro Tooru stared into deep thought as he looked at Byakuya Xiu, who "seemed" to be perfectly normal.
Where did that unusually calm Jundu go? Was it really just a matter of needing to use the restroom? And why is Jundu's face even paler?
"Tou-chan? What are you thinking about? Eat up." Bai Yexiu, as always, picked up his chopsticks with an innocent smile.
"Okay," Amuro Tooru replied and began to eat.
"Speaking of which, Junto hasn't been back for several weeks. Has he run into some trouble?" Amuro Tooru asked casually.
If Bai Yexiu didn't know Amuro Tooru's undercover identity, he would have thought it was just a normal inquiry between colleagues. It's not strange for a colleague to ask a member who suddenly disappeared for several weeks without any reason, but it would seem very suspicious if he didn't answer.
Because the organization operates on a system of mutual whistleblowing, members who discover suspicious activity in their colleagues can receive substantial rewards, even promotions and raises, simply by reporting and confirming it. This is how the organization encourages members to report on each other, aiming to reduce the number of moles and incompetent members within the organization.
However, if we consider Amuro Tooru's undercover identity, then this statement would be intended to elicit information from the undercover agent.
Bai Yexiu gave a helpless smile like a corporate slave: "There's nothing I can do. Gin insists on dragging me to do missions with him, which only increases my workload. I can only go abroad to hide from Gin for a while and do some missions at the same time."
Seeing Amuro Tooru's thoughtful expression, Byakuya said with amusement, "So, what has Tooru-chan been up to these past few weeks?"
Amuro Tooru realized what was happening and tactically picked up a teriyaki rice ball from the table: "But it's the same as Cointreau. Hey~ I really envy Cointreau, I'm so busy that I can't even leave the country."
"Does Tou-chan really enjoy having her schedule filled with tasks every day?"
"..."
……
The two people at the dinner table seemed to be chatting quite naturally.
But in reality, one side was just looking for amusement, hoping to see Amuro Tooru accidentally let something slip and then look embarrassed. The other side was going to great lengths to get information out of the other.
Simply put, both sides have their own ulterior motives.
Soon, the meal was over, and Amuro Tooru, who was washing the dishes with his back to Byakuya, had a somewhat disappointed expression on his face.
He had tried his best to get information out of Jundu, but each time the topic was cleverly evaded—just when he seemed about to get the information, the conversation would suddenly stop, and sometimes he would even be tricked into revealing something.
Is Cointreau on guard against him?
Amuro Tooru shook his head to himself.
Judging from Cointreau's expression, it doesn't seem like it at all.
"Is Tou-chan's neck uncomfortable?" Bai Yexiu suddenly asked.
"No, no..." Amuro Tooru's forehead was covered in sweat, and he quickly turned around with a smile.
