Chapter 65 Calm seas cannot breed outstanding sailors
Gin and vodka brought tequila to the organization's hospital.

"what happened?"

After the surgery, Agave was out of danger.

After he regained consciousness, Gin rushed over immediately.

“There’s a bomb in the box,” Tequila said.

His expression was somewhat ferocious. Being betrayed by a lowly employee of a game company was far too humiliating for an organized assassin.

His expression changed as if he had just remembered something.

He said to Gin, "I saw a note on the outside of the box that said 'There's a bomb in the box.' It was after seeing that note that I threw the box away and saved my life."

If it weren't for that note, he might be gone by now.

"The note reminding you?" Gin raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

Tequila said, "The note was stuffed into the keyhole."

Tequila was very puzzled about the origin of the note.

There's no way of knowing who put it in there.

It can't be that an employee of the game company put a bomb in the box, then suddenly had a change of heart and left a note as a warning.

That's really disgusting.

"Brother, Jundu is here," Vodka said quietly as he entered.

"Cointreau?"

"I heard that Agave was hospitalized, so I came here specifically to see her."

Zheng handed a flower basket to Curaçao, who placed it on the table next to Agave's hospital bed. Curaçao then stood aside, looking at the group indifferently.

"What are you doing here?" Gin asked.

"Visiting the patient," Zheng Yi said.

Tequila looked at Zheng Yi with a puzzled expression.

Cointreau?

He had only heard of this member's code name within the organization and knew nothing about Cointreau himself.

However, I've heard that he holds a very special position within the organization.

He and Jundu had no connection, so why did Jundu come to visit?
Gin stared coldly at Shoichi and said, "Did you plant the bomb?"

Agave's pupils contracted.

"How could that be? I've never even killed a chicken," Zheng Yi replied with the same excuse.

He also handed Gin a newspaper.

The above report details the whole story of the game company incident, and the culprit has already come forward based on Kogoro Mouri's deduction.

Shoichi handed Gin a CD.

"This is the list of software designers you requested."

Gin took the CD and became even more certain that Zheng had swapped the bomb with the CD.

Agave's gaze was somber.

"Why don't you all seem very happy that I've done things for the organization?" Zheng Yi said, puzzled.

"Besides, if I hadn't had Curaçao put a note in the box to remind her, the tequila would have turned into tequila sauce by now."

Zheng Yi was very dissatisfied with these ungrateful people.

Gin looked at Shoichi coldly and said, "What do you want to do?"

Zheng Yi moved a chair and sat down.

With his legs crossed, he said leisurely, "Give me a few of the software designers you hired too."

Hiring them out of pocket would be too expensive; it's more cost-effective to organize them and bring them in with guns.

Moreover, since the organization has already used the big stick, offering them a high salary would make those software designers extremely grateful.

If there are any dissatisfactions, he can be swapped with a software designer who works for the organization.

In this way, they will know the benevolence of the Righteous One.

"Is that all?" Gin asked.

“Of course, I just want to find some people to make the game,” Zheng Yi said.

He's a law-abiding citizen. Unlike the organization that wanted to create criminal software, he just wanted to make games to enrich the entertainment life of the Japanese people.

Zheng Yi looked at Tequila and said to Gin, "Tequila is so badly injured that he can't work for the organization for a while. Why don't you give him to me?"

"Give it to you?" Gin scoffed.

"You really haven't given up yet. I didn't agree to let Tequila work for you, and you just blew him up like this."

But you still don't seem to have given up on him. Right now, it seems like Tequila can't do anything for you.

"No, no, no, agave has many uses nowadays." Zheng Yi shook his head.

Looking at the agave's miserable state, Zheng Yi was extremely satisfied.

Agave felt a chill run down its spine, as if it were being targeted by some terrifying being.

Moreover, Zheng Yi's gaze frightened him.

Gin asked, puzzled, "What do you want this kind of tequila for?"

“Of course it’s very useful.” Zheng Yi patted Tequila on the shoulder.

To Zheng Yi, an intact agave was just an ordinary assassin, but now that the agave was blown to pieces by a bomb, it was much more useful.

Urged on by Zheng Yi.

Tequila was quite surprised to accept the fact that Gin had agreed to lend him to Cointreau.

And tequila also learned the name Cointreau.

A young entrepreneur who has recently gained prominence in Tokyo's business circles.

When he was barely able to get out of bed and walk, Zheng Yi asked him to leave the hospital.

It seems that Shoichi and Gin share the same philosophy.

Organizations (groups) should not employ useless people.

He limped into a newspaper office, leaning on his cane.

Just listening from the outside, you could tell this newspaper was something special, like a pyramid scheme, with the editor-in-chief inside giving the employees pep talks.

"Thanks to our efforts, Zheng Yi has accepted the sanctions and can no longer act as recklessly as before. This is a great victory!" the editor-in-chief shouted excitedly.

Zheng Yi was scolded by his uncle, which could be considered a form of punishment.

The newspaper staff were very excited, after all, it was their newspaper that had been exposing the issue and had even organized a march, which led to Zheng Yi's punishment.

They are advocating for the people.

"President, why aren't you resting in the hospital?"

As soon as Tequila walked in, the editor-in-chief immediately went to help her up.

The newspaper staff were also seeing the editor-in-chief, whom they had never met before, for the first time.

However, the president's appearance instilled some fear in them.

With his left leg in a cast and his chest and half his face bandaged, even in this terrible state, he didn't use a wheelchair, but instead used a cane.

"President, how could this happen?" Koike asked as she came over.

"It's nothing," Tequila said in a hoarse voice.

She almost fell while walking, which terrified Xiao Chi.

Tequila glanced at the editor-in-chief.

That bastard, he deliberately pulled him just now, making him unsteady on his feet.

The editor-in-chief said bitterly, "President, isn't this just revenge against you?!"

“No,” said Tequila.

It was not revenge.

This is precisely the persecution he has suffered.

"Ahem." Tequila coughed and said to everyone, "You've done enough. This is just someone's last act of resentment."

In the future, he will no longer be able to commit evil deeds.
