Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 62: Where in life do we not meet?
Compared to Misato Mizukami, Nan Ling is now more interested in "how to leave an unforgettable impression on He Yue".
After arranging Misato Mizukami in an inconspicuous hotel, he ignored her for the time being.
Although he dealt with Yamada Ichiji, it was only the loss of one cadre, and Nan Ling felt that it was not enough.
He originally thought that since Heyue was founded by a pair of brothers, it would be better to just kill one of them. Simple, rough, and direct. The effect will definitely be good.
However, since Zhu Fu Jingguang is also paying attention to this matter, it seems that we cannot use such bloody means to kill people.
Not to mention that he had already killed someone, it would be hard to gain favor with the winery with such a style...
The main thing is that every time when facing Zhu Fu Jingguang, Nan Ling’s non-existent conscience will suddenly pop up.
Maybe it’s because this person is really a good person in bold and capital letters.
As a result, every time he did something behind Zhu Fu Jingguang's back, he felt as if he had betrayed someone's trust. In short, he felt very guilty.
But if we don’t use this method... Nan Ling isn’t a brain person, and you’re forcing him to use his brain when it’s something that can be solved with force...
This is a bit embarrassing. Nan Ling scratched his head in annoyance.
Hmm...what should I do...
Oh, that's right!
He Yue is interested in the winery, and a small organization like theirs would certainly not dare to confront the winery head-on.
So... when a lone brewery member appears in Kyoto——
——It will definitely arouse He Yue’s interest.
At this time, you just have to pretend to be a low-level employee of the winery and want to quit the winery, so you come to do business with Heyue.
Tell them about the location of the winery, and then...
It's like killing someone with a borrowed knife.
An organization like Heyue that specializes in intelligence is not even close to the winery in terms of military strength. The outcome of this conflict is almost certain to be foreseeable.
Moreover, He Yue can also bring a little trouble to the winery... Although it is not much, it is also something Nan Ling likes to see.
Every office worker wants their boss to look bad—even if he's actually a salary thief.
What a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. Nan Ling praised his brain and immediately began to prepare.
It’s just that ideals are full and reality is skinny.
Soon, reality will tell him what "things go against one's wishes" means.
Or as we say, "There is no coincidence in the world."
To be more precise, it means "We will meet each other somewhere in life."
…
If you pretend to be a member of the lower class, you can’t use your real face.
Nan Ling changed his appearance again, dressing himself up to look like a cannon fodder like Tequila, then wore all in black and went to the Heyue Izakaya.
The first impression is that the decoration is pretty good.
Heyue is an izakaya with a very Japanese-style decoration. However, because it mainly sells information, most of the seats are separated into small compartments, blocked by curtains. You can only vaguely see that there seem to be tatami mats and a few scattered figures inside.
As Nan Ling expected, as soon as he stepped in wearing this outfit, he saw several shocked faces.
It is estimated that these people are the ones who know some inside information about Yueli.
Yamada Ichiji just died last night, and today a man in black clothes came to their door. Plus, before he died, he was responsible for interrogating information related to the Black Organization, so they couldn't help but think too much.
But, Yamada Ichi is one of the Seven Killers, so what does that have to do with me, an ordinary low-level employee of a winery?
So Nan Ling was not panicked at all, he just pretended he didn't know.
But something that really surprised Nan Ling was about to happen.
The panicked people looked at each other, and one of them quickly ran to the kitchen and disappeared. It was estimated that he went to ask for the person in charge, or the manager.
Among the remaining few people, one of them respectfully invited Nan Ling to the innermost compartment.
Nan Ling started to feel a little confused at this point.
What, what's going on? I haven't explained my purpose yet! Why do you seem to have accepted your fate and become cowards ? It seems I misunderstood Yamada Ichiji! Is being a coward a common style of your organization?
This confused mood finally reached its climax the moment the manager stepped in respectfully.
Because Nan Ling heard him say:
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Bourbon?"
Nan Ling: “……?”
Nan Ling: “???”
Nan Ling: “?!?!”
Nan Ling: “?!?!?!?!”
When I type a question mark, it doesn’t mean that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.
Nan Ling now feels that there is something wrong with He Yue.
What is this? Bourbon?
What’s wrong with you, Morobushi Kagemitsu…How come you meet Amuro Toru just when he asks you to do a favor?
It's amazing. Every time Nan Ling bumps into Amuro Toru, he feels guilty - because every time they meet, he teases him in a malicious way...
Now he could run into Bourbon-related things whenever he came to Kyoto. It was simply—
—Hey, wait, wait, something seems to be wrong.
Nan Ling originally thought that He Yue had nothing to do with the organization.
The investigation into wineries is also related because intelligence organizations all have more or less interest in the mysterious existence of wineries.
but……
Since Heyue's cadres thought he was Bourbon, it meant that they must have a trading relationship with the winery, otherwise they would not know this code name and their attitude would not be so respectful.
After all, Heyue is the largest intelligence organization in Kyoto, and it is not completely beyond Nan Ling's imagination that the winery would have exchanges with them.
However, he subconsciously felt that those who dared to investigate the organization probably didn't know much about it - anyone who had experienced the power of the organization would probably not have the courage to do so, especially since Heyue was just a small organization (relative to the winery).
Since there is such a relationship , He Yue's intention in investigating the winery is somewhat puzzling.
If you think about it carefully, there are only two possibilities when investigating your partners:
First, do not trust the other party's ability.
Second, they want to obtain more intelligence so that they can take the initiative in the transaction.
The first point was directly passed by Nan Ling.
No one who does not believe in the organization's ability will take Bourbon so seriously.
So it should be the second point? He Yue is really brave...
Nan Ling laughed at these frogs in the well in his heart.
After such a long process of sorting out my feelings and reasoning, it didn’t take that long in reality.
Although he was greatly shocked when he heard Bourbon's name, Nan Ling still managed his expression well.
Probably the other party would just think that he was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Bourbon?" The manager looked at Nan Ling's face, which was intimidating without even getting angry, and asked again cautiously.
"It's me." Nan Ling replied calmly.
Of course Nan Ling couldn't be Bourbon.
But He Yue should have already identified him. If I deny it now...ah, I feel like I will end up in a bad way.
Moreover, Nan Ling knew nothing about the current situation, so he might as well assume Bourbon 's identity and find out what was going on.
It's a bit dangerous, but...
Nan Ling felt the excitement gradually rising in his body and smiled slightly.
It's exciting enough, he likes it.
