Stay away from Conan.

Everything seemed normal on the surface, except that Gao Yuan was walking in the other direction of the corridor. His attention, however, was entirely focused on Gin and Vodka, who had just emerged from that door.

After all, once he had confirmed their identities, Gao Yuan was now 100% certain that the location containing the organization's core secrets within the pharmaceutical factory must be behind that door.

When he encountered them at this time, Gao Yuan naturally did not want to reveal any flaws that would arouse their suspicion, so he continued to proceed at his original pace. However, in the end, he could not simply ignore Gin and the others whom he had unexpectedly met. After all, gathering as much information as possible was part of Gao Yuan's job here.

As Gao Yuan subconsciously pondered this, other thoughts involuntarily began to surface—

Since Gin and his group are here, why didn't I see their car before I came in?

After entering the pharmaceutical factory through the main gate, there is only one road for vehicles. When you enter the parking lot along this road, Gao Yuan did not see Gin's iconic black Porsche 356A. If this conspicuous car had been there, he would have expected to encounter Gin, but it was not.

Moreover, since Gin and his group came out through this door, they were obviously already inside. So why didn't they notice Gin's car?

Could it be that this pharmaceutical company has another channel?

Having made this a mental note, Gao Yuan became extremely eager to find out which direction Gin and the others would go after leaving the room.

"Big brother, Shirley's been getting more and more unruly lately! She's going out way too often!"

As Gin and Vodka emerged from behind the door, Takato, who had been watching them, heard Vodka's displeased complaints, which were clearly related to Shiho Miyano.

From Gao Yuan's perspective, it seems that this is because Gin and Vodka had arrived here long ago, but Shiho Miyano happened to be out today, which prevented them from meeting at the beginning.

So, if we analyze and speculate like this, after Shiho Miyano returned here, Gin and Vodka met her, achieved some goal, and then they came out?

Thus, Gao Yuan continued moving forward at his usual pace, while relying on his hearing to sense that Gin and the others were getting closer and closer behind him—

Huh? They're heading this way, instead of going out the way they came in?
Gao Yuan was slightly surprised by this, but he had no doubts. After all, this seemed to explain why he hadn't seen Gin's car there before he came in, which meant that there must indeed be another way out.

"Hmph, anyway, this kind of trouble was caused by Louis. But since Louis is also keeping an eye on her, we don't need to worry about it. As long as she doesn't forget her work for the organization... otherwise..."

Gin responded to Vodka with a cold voice, clearly supporting Vodka's attitude. However, as long as Shiho Miyano remained under the organization's control, Gin didn't say anything more for the time being.

"That's true, at least that kind of medicine still depends on her research..."

In response to Gin's comment, Vodka chimed in with a hint of smugness, "Anyway, since she was able to hand over the prototype of that drug to you, Big Brother, it seems that Sherry is still diligently carrying out the mission the organization gave her!"

As the sounds of Gin and Vodka's conversation grew closer behind him, Gao Yuan walked down the corridor, his thoughts drifting into reflection.

If this continues, we're bound to run into Gin and his group.

Now that he is posing as a member of the organization, what should he do when he encounters "big shots" with codenames like Gin and Vodka?

After a moment's thought, Gao Yuan, sensing that Gin and Vodka were right behind him, immediately moved to the side of the wall, stood slightly forward, and bowed slightly in a respectful manner, letting Gin and Vodka, who were walking quickly, pass by him.

Throughout the entire process, Gao Yuan remained silent, only demonstrating his "respect for superiors" through his actions, letting them pass first. Gin and Vodka, on the other hand, showed no reaction, ignoring the man in black by the roadside and striding forward quickly, soon putting some distance between themselves and Gao Yuan, who had stopped.

Seeing that Gin and the others were indeed too preoccupied to pay attention to someone as insignificant as himself, Gao Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Given Gin's personality, how could he possibly have time to care about my current identity? As long as I show him respect, it should just be a routine matter to him.

In any case, Gao Yuan simply couldn't imagine that someone like him would try to talk to his subordinates, who were just unnamed men in black, when nothing was wrong.

And so, this near miss with Gin and his group came to an end. To maintain his composure, Takato waited a little longer, making sure Gin and his group were far away before continuing on his way.

After all, it was somewhat unexpected that Gin and the others were heading in this direction, so Gao Yuan wanted to see what lay ahead.

Of course, Gao Yuan was even more curious about the door they came out of, but it would be inappropriate to venture in that direction unprepared at this moment...

After walking a short distance, Gao Yuan reached another road corner. He subtly moved his head, using his sunglasses to conceal his eyes as he looked around to make sure there was no one else or any surveillance cameras nearby. Then, he immediately took out his phone, turned on the video recording function, and went to the corner wall. He pressed his phone against the wall and extended the camera outwards, intending to film Gin and his group's movements in the direction they had just gone.

Thus, through the screen of his phone, Gao Yuan only saw a glass door at the end of the road after that corner. After Vodka apparently took out a card and swiped it on the access control next to the door, the glass door opened, and the two of them passed through it and continued walking forward.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan didn't immediately go out. He planned to wait until Gin and the others had moved a little further before going over to see if he could open the door on the other side.

After all, if it's something like an access card, I already have one on me! (End of Chapter)
