Gin likes me?

Looking at the woman in front of him who had her shirt rolled up, was wearing jeans, rope-tied sandals, and a pair of large frog-shaped sunglasses on her forehead, a woman dressed in a very classic style, Uozuka Saburo twitched his mouth, and he swiftly opened the passenger seat of the sports car and sat in.

"Why, you haven't seen me for a long time, aren't you happy at all? It's rare that I dressed up nicely for you, Uozuka-san~"

With one hand on the steering wheel, Vermouth was not in a hurry to start the car and looked at Uozuka Saburo beside her with a smile.

"Happy, I am so happy. If it weren't for your call, Vermouth, I would have returned to Tokyo and sat in a pub eating food and drinking shochu."

With a forced smile, Uozuka Saburo leaned back in the leather seat and spoke in a subtle tone.

"Well, can you tell me what the mission is that requires me to come this time?"

"Don't be so impatient. If I remember correctly, this is your first time in Los Angeles, Brother Yuzhong. It's only noon now, so let me treat you well, Brother Yuzhong~"

Smilingly glancing at the time on her watch, Vermouth shook her head slightly, put her sunglasses back on her nose, then started the car and drove out of the airport parking lot skillfully.

"Compared to finding it, I want to know what the task I will face is. But forget it, the steering wheel is in your hands, just do whatever you want."

Squinting his eyes and looking at the woman beside him who seemed really ready to entertain him, Uozuka Saburo crossed his hands on his chest and slowly closed his eyes.

He knew that if Vermouth wanted to keep a secret, he would never be able to ask.

This woman is just that kind of person.

. . .

"There's actually a restaurant like this in Los Angeles. It's really good."

The original impatience had been replaced by amazement. Sitting next to the glass window, Saburo Uozuka looked at the underwater scenery outside the window, and he did not hesitate to express his admiration.

"As long as you like it, this is the first restaurant in the whole country of Magnesium, no, the first restaurant in the world to try to operate in the sea. Let's not talk about the taste of the food, the scenery alone has attracted countless customers."

Shaking the red wine glass in her hand, Vermouth looked at Uozuka Saburo's expression with satisfaction, completely forgetting that the expression on her face was not much better than Uozuka Saburo's when she first came to this restaurant.

“How much does it cost to eat here?”

Although the food has not yet arrived, Uozuka Saburo is already looking forward to the meal.

"At least one time costs fifty thousand dollars. When you think about it this way, isn't it a little hard to accept?"

"...That depends on how good the food in this restaurant tastes."

Shrugging his shoulders, with his current financial strength, Uozuka Saburo could afford to go to such a restaurant. However, if the restaurant only wanted to use the gimmick of the underwater dining environment to attract customers but was not careful about the cuisine, Uozuka Saburo would absolutely not be able to accept it.

For Uozuka Saburo, delicious food is more important than beautiful scenery.

Fortunately, this restaurant did not disappoint Saburo Uozuka.

"So, you still don't want to tell me now, or do you want to wait until we return to our residence before you tell me what the mission is this time?"

After enjoying the dish that Uozuka Saburo scored 8.5, Uozuka Saburo scooped the dessert with a small spoon and enjoyed the sweet aftertaste, then brought the topic back to the main business.

"No need. Since you are so anxious, I'll tell you now."

Vermouth, who had already drunk a whole bottle of red wine, was still shaking the wine glass in her hand, and it seemed that she was going to finish the second bottle of red wine that was about to come.

"This time the mission requires contacting a local businessman in Los Angeles."

"Contacting merchants? This shouldn't be a difficult thing for you, Vermouth, right?"

"It's not difficult to just contact the merchant, but what we need is to get a gem from the merchant's treasure house."

"gem?"

His eyes changed, and Uozuka Saburo seemed to realize something, but at the last moment he suppressed the urge to ask. He just kept eating dessert and looked at Vermouth with a puzzled look.

Acting in front of Vermouth, Uozuka Saburo has actually been under great psychological pressure. So when Vermouth said this, her attention was all on the sea fish swimming around outside the window, attracted by the lights, and she did not notice the subtle changes in Uozuka Saburo's expression.

"Yes, it is a gem, but the location of his treasure vault is very hidden, and the security conditions have reached the level of military defense. Even I can't find out the location of the treasure vault smoothly. We only have one chance. Once we are discovered, based on the opponent's personality, it will be a hundred times more difficult to act again."

"How about using force? For example, we can capture the merchant and force him to tell us the location of the treasure house, and then let him take us to get the things out?"

"If possible, I still don't want to use this most dangerous plan. Although that person is a businessman, his family has very close ties with the local army in Los Angeles. He is usually protected by special forces when he travels. Although you, brother Yuzhong, are very powerful, there is no need for us to get into trouble."

"Tsk, that's really troublesome. So, you called me over here, what part do you want me to be responsible for? You don't want me to help you come up with a plan, right?"

With a sigh, just from the information that Vermouth said, Uozuka Saburo already knew how difficult this mission was.

"As for the plan, I already have one. As for the part that you will be responsible for, Uozuka-san."

She shifted her gaze from the fish outside the glass window to Uozuka Saburo's face. After looking at him carefully, a charming smile appeared at the corner of Vermouth's mouth under the influence of alcohol.

"Brother Uozuka, please be my husband~"

"what??"

. . .

"Has the message been received?"

"We have received the order from the leader himself. Let's prepare to take action."

"Well, we must complete this operation. Don't forget how angry the boss was when we failed two years ago."

"I understand. I've already gotten some good news. The exhibition in five days will be our chance to get the gem! There won't be any accidents!"

"I hope so. By the way, tell the brothers below to pay more attention to suspicious people and don't forget the black organization that may become an obstacle for us. Although the leader didn't say anything explicitly, I always feel that the leader is also concerned about that organization."

"Don't worry, if they know what's good for them, it'll be fine. But if they dare to show up, I'll make them stay here forever."

554: You should take a day off

"Is this what you mean by husband?"

Sitting in the room on the second floor of the villa rented by Vermouth with a somewhat subtle mood, Uozuka Saburo stared blankly at Vermouth using various professional makeup tools to apply makeup on his face.

"Why can you not wear makeup, but I have to wear makeup?"

"Who said I don't wear makeup? It's just that your outfit will be more troublesome, and you will have to wear a mask later, so you need to prepare in advance."

Holding the makeup tools in her hands, Vermouth watched with great interest as Uozuka Saburo's face shape gradually changed under her skills.

"And I have to wear a mask from now on. We can't leave any evidence outside before our operation succeeds this time."

Nodding with satisfaction, the decoration on her cheek had been done. Vermouth put down the makeup tools in her hand, turned around and took the mask that had been prepared on the human face model on the dressing table.

"If you can learn from me, you won't need me to do your makeup anymore. You can do it yourself."

"Although my makeup skills are not as good as yours, they are still pretty good in the organization. I can easily deceive people in ordinary tasks."

Feeling Vermouth's fingers pressing on his face through the mask, Uozuka Saburo tilted his head in some surprise, but was pressed back by Vermouth.

"Honestly, if you don't wear the mask properly and closely to your face, it will cause big problems later."

"Yes."

Reluctantly accepting Vermouth's control, after spending almost five minutes, with Vermouth's satisfied self-praise, Uozuka Saburo also saw his own image in the mirror.

"From his appearance, he is probably a man in his forties? He also looks Asian."

"Yes, your name is Zhang Ye, you are 48 years old, and you are a Chinese veteran. After leaving the Chinese special forces, you started your own business with the introduction of a friend, and gradually got to where you are today."

With a satisfied smile on her lips, Vermouth looked at Uozuka Saburo and told him his identity.

"My own business? It should be a shady business, right?"

Raising his hand and touching his face, Uozuka Saburo had to admit that when it came to makeup, no one in the organization could compare to Vermouth.

Lifelike and vivid are not enough to describe Vermouth's skills.

In the eyes of Saburo Uozuka, the self in the mirror was a completely different person. Even though he was repeating his own actions, he still felt a strong sense of unreality.

"That's right, because only by hiding it from the public can he be more convinced. Although I have a lot of time to prepare, I can't create a company out of thin air for you, Brother Yuzhong."

"Okay, I'll remember this."

After stretching his body, Uozuka Saburo stood up from the chair, feeling a bit stuffy and restrained on his face, and knew that he could only endure this feeling.

"So, what are our actions this afternoon?"

"That's a good question."

Smiling, Vermouth took out a golf course membership card from her trouser pocket, held it in her hand, and shook it gently at Uozuka Saburo.

"Brother Uozuka, no, husband~Can you play golf?~"

"...If possible, you should call me by another name. Although we are acting as a couple, there is no need to call each other by that name."

His body trembled, and he felt uncomfortable all over because of Vermouth's deliberately disgusting voice. He tried hard not to scratch his cheeks, and looked at Vermouth who was already bent over with laughter with a look of deep hatred.

"Okay, then I'll call you Ye, and you can call me Lily. My name is Michelle Julie, remember that~"

"Julie, right? No problem."

"No, it's Lily. Julie would be too distant."

"As an old-fashioned Chinese, I think it should be okay for me to be more simple."

"No, because the character I have created for you, Uozuka-san, is that of a model man who loves me very much, who traveled far away for me, and who can't wait to be with me every day~"

"...I don't think that model man should be with his wife every day. Doesn't he have to work?"

"It's because I'm busy with work that I want to stay by my wife's side during my rest time. Is there anything wrong with that? Yeh~"

"Tsk, whatever you want. Golf course, right? Give me directions. Also, while we're on the road, remember to tell me everything about the image you've created for me!"

"Of course there is no problem, my dear husband~"

"屮!"

. . .

"It only took you half a month to establish a good relationship with the hostess of the target family. We get along like good sisters. Can I say that you are worthy of it, Vermouth?"

Sitting in the rest area of ​​the golf course, Saburo Uozuka, holding a drink in his hand, smiled as he looked at Vermouth, who had just separated from his target wife and was walking slowly towards him.

"It's just a requirement of the mission. After all, if we want to get their tickets for this exhibition, we can only approach them in this way."

Sitting down next to Uozuka Saburo, Vermouth took the unfinished drink from Uozuka Saburo's hand with a smile.

"Isn't that a bit too close?"

"We are husband and wife. According to the character I gave, there is absolutely no problem with this behavior."

Shrugging, Vermouth put her arm on Uozuka Saburo's shoulders and leaned over to whisper in Uozuka Saburo's ear. No matter who looked at them, they were a sweet couple.

"And I don't remember you being such a person who lacks professionalism. Even now, there are people watching us. You should know how to behave, right?"

"Well, Julie, you're right."

Blinking, Saburo Uozuka did not dodge Vermouth's action. His eyes behind his sunglasses looked inconspicuously at a man who seemed to be in a daze 50 meters away from him.

"But you have such a good relationship with that woman named Nicole, does her husband still have to be so wary of you?"

"It's because Nicole and I are so close that Wilson is so cautious with me, especially after Nicole explicitly invited me to attend their treasure exhibition."

"So it seems that Wilson loves his wife very much?"

"That's about right. Wilson wasn't a very popular person in his family in his early years. It should be said that he was able to get to where he is today thanks to the great help of his wife. So after he became successful, he always doted on his somewhat naive but absolutely loving wife."

After drinking the drink in the cup, Vermouth looked at Saburo Uozuka beside her with a smile and stretched her body lazily.

"How about it? Doesn't it sound very romantic?"

"It's indeed quite romantic, but unfortunately, it doesn't mean anything to us."

Shrugging indifferently, Saburo Uozuka took out his frozen drink from the small refrigerator next to him and poured another drink for Vermouth.

"Then why are you here with me instead of staying with Nicole?"

"Of course, I want to let Nicole see how good our relationship is. In the little time you have free time, I will come over and get close to you~"

With her head resting on Uozuka Saburo's shoulder, although her face had changed, the still mature, beautiful and charming Vermouth was unscrupulously showing her love for her around her, and showing her intimacy with Uozuka Saburo with her actions in an arrogant manner.

"And I'm also a little curious. Weren't you playing well with Wilson just now? Why did Wilson suddenly leave in a hurry?"

"Maybe, I want to go outside to relieve my delicate and depressed mood."

Shaking the golf club in his hand, Saburo Uozuka spoke vaguely.

"Mood? Can I ask Ye, when you were playing golf with Mr. Wilson just now, did you have a match?"

"He took the initiative to propose it, and I have refused many times."

"...So, what's the result?"

"10-0."
