Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Chu Ming took the opportunity to see if he could get some information out of Gin.

Gin narrowed his eyes warily: "The organization's influence spans the globe; what you've seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg."

Seeing that Gin was about to tell him a story again, Chu Ming squeezed back and sat on the stool next to Gin.

Gin stopped talking.

"And then, besides this corner of the iceberg, what about the rest?" Chu Ming could only urge him on.

"You don't need to know anything else."

What?! I took my pants off and this is what you're playing for me?

Chapter 107 So it was you who did it

No matter how much Chu Ming argued and made a fuss, Gin didn't explain anything to him. After a long while, he only said to Chu Ming, "You don't have enough authority right now."

It seems there's no need to ask Vodka; he certainly doesn't know either.

"Okay, how about bourbon?"

"A temporary partner is fine, but you'd better not really become a hands-off manager."

Gin's sharp gaze pierced Chu Ming.

"Okay, I'll definitely make sure he completes the task!"

Chu Ming raised his hand to assure them, but seeing that Gin looked like he wanted to smash the table over his head, he quickly changed his tune: "I will definitely do my best to determine whether he is an undercover agent!"

Gin sometimes feels that his temper has been getting better and better lately.

"You should report to the boss yourself. Once the boss agrees, I'll notify Bourbon to come over."

Chu Ming squatted to the side and sent a message to the BOSS. He quickly typed a long message, first summarizing his desire to team up with Bourbon, then explaining his reasons for wanting to team up with him, and outlining the advantages and benefits to the organization after teaming up...

After writing for a long time and Gin waiting for a long time, Chu Ming was still typing away.

"...Just report to the boss, what are you writing?"

Gin snatched Chu Ming's phone, and Chu Ming quickly turned off the system's privacy software with his mind.

"The boss doesn't have time to read your essay!"

Looking at the endless text, Gin felt a headache coming on.

He had been angered by Chu Ming too many times today, and finally couldn't take it anymore, so he kicked him directly.

"Big brother! Wait, don't move around so violently in the office! There are valuable organizational documents inside!"

Chu Ming slipped under the table in a flash.

After dodging twice, Chu Ming, whose path was blocked by the bookshelf, looked at Gin approaching him with a cold smile on his face.

"Uh, big brother, a gentleman uses words, not fists. If you use your fists, I'll be at a disadvantage. You're just a little crow—cough cough cough."

Gin kicked the man away: "Stop speaking Chinese if you have nothing to say. What were you trying to say?"

No—QAQ

Gin tossed his phone to Chu Ming: "All you have to do is ask the boss if you want to team up with Bourbon."

Chu Ming took the phone and swallowed hard: "But big brother, you sent the text message when you were beating me up."

"?"

Gin frowned and picked up his phone. Sure enough, the message had already been sent, and because it was too long, it had been split into several parts and sent out.

"...Then that's settled." Anyway, he wasn't the one getting a headache from reading the messages.

After some time, the BOSS agreed to let Chu Ming temporarily team up with Bourbon, and did not comment on the twenty or so messages received and Chu Ming's short essay.

Gin, with a blank expression, sent a message to Bourbon, telling him to get to the base within half an hour.

"Gin, what did you call me here for?"

Amuro Tooru didn't know why he suddenly received a text message from Gin asking him to come to the base. He was clearly a member of the intelligence group. Could it be because of what happened before that he was exposed?

He held his breath and secretly glanced at Chu Ming sitting next to Gin, wondering if it was because of him...

"I called you over because the organization made a last-minute decision to pair you with Granbury, and he will be in charge during the team period."

Gin said just that, and then gestured for Amuro Tooru to leave.

Amuro Tooru was completely bewildered: "I'm from the intelligence team, shouldn't Rum be the one informing me..."

'Buzz,' Rum's text message arrived.

"The BOSS has decided to temporarily team you and Granburch together to complete the mission. During the teamwork, he will take the lead, and you should try your best to recruit him into the intelligence group. —Rum"

"……I see."

Seeing that Amuro Tooru was somewhat reluctant, Gin coldly rebuked him: "If your partnership expires and you are confirmed not to be an undercover agent, I can arrange for you to meet the BOSS and pledge your loyalty to him."

Because of Rum's suspicions, Amuro Tooru, who hadn't been able to get close to the BOSS, perked up and said with a hint of provocation, "Then why not make me the leader? I can be the captain too."

People who are too obedient will not have a chance to stand out in an organization; those who have a bit of personality are more likely to catch the organization's eye.

At this point, Bourbon was the troublemaker.

"Because Granburg helped the organization uncover many spies, including those from Scotland and Rye, as well as more recently from the Mud Ginseng Society and Ghost Mountain Society. He discovered them all. Based on this achievement alone, he is the captain."

Dude, are you supporting me or stirring up trouble for me?

Amuro Tooru's breath hitched. Scotland... he discovered it???

His face remained impassive, but hatred was spreading wildly in his heart...

—So it was you!

Chapter 108 You're not going to cry, are you?

After seeing Bourbon, he didn't say anything, so Gin assumed he had no objections. He finished giving his instructions and left. Chu Ming had been injured before, and the tasks had piled up on his hands. He had been extremely busy lately.

Only Amuro Tooru and Chu Ming remained in the office.

Amuro Tooru used almost all his strength to stay standing. He looked at the man by the window and casually inquired.

"You were responsible for Scotland's death?"

"I didn't kill him, I just reported him."

Chu Ming smiled broadly, since he was in disguise anyway.

Amuro Tooru's eyes were red with anger, but he couldn't do it; he couldn't act impulsively.

Otherwise, everything Scotland had done before his death would have been in vain, and he absolutely could not be exposed before the organization was destroyed.

"Hey, Bourbon, your eyes are all red. Did you cry?"

Chu Ming leaned close to Amuro Tooru with a wicked grin and stared intently at him: "I heard you have a good relationship with Scotland, could it be... you're an undercover agent too?"

Chu Ming whispered the last few words almost into Amuro Tooru's ear.

The sound was very soft, but it resounded like thunder in Amuro Tooru's ears.

He forced a smile: "How could that be? Have you been spending too much time with Gin and caught his paranoia?"

Chu Ming remained noncommittal: "I'll be keeping an eye on you, Bourbon."

"Hmph, I'll say the same to you. You're not trying to frame me first, are you? I'll be watching you too." Amuro Tooru's face darkened, and he replied coldly.

"Tch, alright then. Since you're not an undercover agent, to celebrate our impending partnership, how about we blow up the police headquarters now? Or maybe kill a few police officers for fun?"

"Are you crazy?!" Amuro Tooru's hand, which was in his pocket, clenched into a fist. His years of undercover training allowed him to suppress the urge to kill Chu Ming on the spot.

"What, are you feeling sorry for him? Or is it that you can't bring yourself to do it?" Chu Ming hooked his arm around Amuro Tooru's shoulder and whispered in his ear like a lover.

Amuro Tooru slapped away Chu Ming's hand that was holding his shoulder: "I just don't want to die with you."

Chu Ming, with a strange smile, clung to him again: "Then I'll plant the bomb, and you can press the switch at the end, okay? Safe and risk-free, my partner!"

"I told you I wouldn't go crazy with you. The organization requires the operation to be covert and leave no trace. Aren't you just trying to draw the police's attention to the organization by making such a big fuss? I think you're the undercover agent!"

Amuro Tooru, with a cold face, retaliated.

"Tch, how boring. I'm the captain now, you should be following my orders. You're shirking my commands all the time, hmph, something's not right with you."

Chu Ming was immersed in his madman persona, a maniacal smile playing on his lips, sending chills down one's spine.

"If my captain is such a madman, then I'm afraid I can't possibly obey your orders," Amuro Tooru said, half-jokingly.

“Bourbon, it seems you have no idea what the organization means. Admittedly, you can disagree with me, but this is an order personally issued by the boss. You must obey even if you disagree, otherwise—” Chu Ming stared at him without blinking, “Your only fate is death.”

Although it seemed like a threat, it was actually a kind reminder. Sigh, he's such a kind person.

Amuro Tooru remained silent for a long time, his mind racing, hoping to find a way to break the deadlock.

Fortunately, Chu Ming was 'understanding' and didn't pressure him anymore. After all, he had already gained a lot of emotional points, and he needed to continue to develop the relationship.

"Alright, alright, since you're unwilling to do this and unwilling to do that, let's just go do the mission."

Amuro Tooru didn't see his kindness as anything; he only felt that Amuro was a ticking time bomb that might explode at any moment.

He composed himself: "What mission?"

Chu Ming handed him the last page of the document: "A few scumbags from the Fierce Tiger Gang collaborated with an outsider of the organization to rob 100 million yuan. During their escape, they got into a car accident. Everyone else escaped, but the gang member was the most seriously injured because he was driving and was unconscious at the time. The others thought he was dead, so they all ran away."
