Chapter 220 "Looking forward to our next cooperation, GIN."
"You're being unkind in this matter after all," Bai Chuanqiu said calmly, "We're all smart people. We all know what's going on."
"I'm not here to accuse you. I just hope that for the sake of our next cooperation, you can ask Rum to stop chasing me. I'm very busy lately. If he angers me, I really can't guarantee where he will show up next time."
Gin paused smoking, then sneered in disbelief: "Are you threatening me with Rum's life?"
Bai Chuanqiu blinked, looking innocent: "What's the point of living or not? I'm a good citizen and I wouldn't do anything bad."
But as an excellent and good citizen of Mihua, he still has the right to report suspicious people, right?
Gin didn't say anything, just put out the cigarette, put it in a transparent bag, and put it in his pocket.
"I know you and Rum have been at odds for a long time, but you've been able to maintain a superficial harmony until now. You definitely don't want to disrupt this balance, right?"
"How do you know that now is not a good time to break the balance?" Gin snorted coldly.
Baichuanqiu: "The Green Chat incident happened not long ago. You and Rum need to keep a low profile recently, otherwise that person might not be able to stand you two."
As an old man in the organization and the second-in-command, Rum's status is actually much higher than Gin's, and he is considered an important core member of the organization.
In particular, the organizational intelligence and most of the relationship networks in Rum's hands are the source of the organization's long-term development and the foundation of the organization.
Ops personnel like Gin, to put it bluntly, are just hard laborers. Even though he possesses considerable personal abilities and is responsible for managing most of the organization's assassins and handling traitorous undercover agents, he appears to have considerable power and authority, but in reality, he is far less replaceable than Rum and has far less exposure to the organization's secrets than Rum.
But why can such a gin secretly compete with rum in the organization and even present a situation of being on equal terms?
I'm afraid that the gentleman in charge of the organization tacitly approved it.
Judging from the plot and real encounters, this old man, Uramaru Renya, probably no longer has much time for organizational management, but is more focused on chasing the dream of immortality in the laboratory.
Therefore, most of the organization's affairs were assigned to Rum and several other senior members of the organization.
In order to prevent Rum and the others from rebelling, Karasuma Renya specially promoted Gin to allow them to check and balance each other and maintain a relatively harmonious organizational state.
This "Gin" is not the only one, he is just a tool.
Even if a Gin is replaced, the organization will not be affected too much, and a new "Gin" will be promoted soon to replace Gin's current job.
The situation where layoffs hit major arteries is actually just the last fantasy of those who leave.
As I said, if he doesn't do it, there are plenty of people who will.
Therefore, Gin would never let Rum die. Once Rum died, his value as a tool would disappear - at least until Gin got rid of his "tool" identity.
As for Rum, there is no need to say more. It is already a headache for him that he cannot get to the top because he is still immortal. If a new opponent comes and they keep fighting for more than ten years, not only will his lower body be buried in the ground, I am afraid that his upper body will also be buried in the ground.
What's more, the reason why Karasuma Renya promoted Gin was because he was afraid of Rum. If Gin died and Rum continued to dominate, Rum's own life would be in danger.
...In fact, many people in the organization can see this matter, and everyone knows it clearly.
But the only one who dared to speak openly in front of Gin was Shirakawa Akane.
Gin stared at the person in front of him sinisterly, his eyes gloomy and cold.
However, Shirakawa Qiu didn't look at Gin's expression. He raised his glass very calmly, shook it slowly, and then took a sip.
Seeing Gin's expression as black as the bottom of a pot, the bartender walked over carefully, placed the glass in front of Gin, and whispered, "Guest, please enjoy your drink."
Gin didn't look at the bartender, but still stared at Shirakawa Qiu. As he picked up the newly mixed drink in front of him with his right hand, he raised his left hand, aimed it at the bartender's eyebrows, and fired decisively.
"boom--"
The sound of the silenced pistol was so small that it was even completely drowned out by the sound of the record player next to it, and people in other parts of the bar were completely unaware of what was happening at the bar.
The bartender still had a hypocritical smile on his face, but his expression remained forever frozen at this moment. He opened his eyes, as if he had not yet reacted to what was happening before his life was ruthlessly taken away by the cold-blooded killer in front of him.
The blood between his eyebrows did not splash out at all, but slowly flowed down from the blood hole and slid onto the bartender's face.
He didn't make any sound and fell silently behind the bar without any struggle, as if he had just fallen asleep.
Witnessing this slaughter without any warning or reason, Shirakawa Qiu didn't even blink, and even had a leisurely smile on his face: "Tsk, Gin, you can't just kill him just because he was a little slow in mixing the cocktail, right?"
Gin twitched the corner of his mouth, expressionless: "He's just unlucky."
I had the bad luck of working here tonight, the bad luck of meeting him, and the bad luck of overhearing their conversation.
Baichuan Qiu chuckled: "That's really pitiful."
Don't think he doesn't know, Gin wants to give this bullet to him even more.
Vodka appeared out of nowhere, walked behind the bar, and dragged the body away silently.
"Baichuan Qiu, you are really different."
Gin made his conclusion.
Bai Chuanqiu spread his hands: "Why do I feel like you have said something similar before?"
Gin finally took a sip of his wine: "Really? I forgot."
"Tsk——"
Baichuanqiu raised his glass and drank the wine in one breath, leaving only a large ice ball spinning in the glass.
He placed the glass on the table.
"I'm leaving." Baichuanqiu said, "I look forward to our next cooperation, GIN."
Gin didn't look at him again, but just drank the wine in the glass by himself, as if he completely ignored his existence.
Baichuan Qiu shrugged, ignored him, and turned away.
Not long after the young man left the bar, Vodka, who had dealt with the body, came out from behind.
"Brother, it has been cleaned up."
Gin nodded: "Is Curacao still in the United States recently?"
Vodka nodded: "Yes, it seems that they are still investigating the Green Chat incident."
Gin was silent for a moment before he finally spoke: "Call Campari and ask him to find something for Curacao to do, preferably to cause some trouble for Rum."
Vodka was a little confused, but didn't say anything, just nodded: "Okay, big brother."
After ordering Vodka, Gin drank the wine in the glass and placed it casually on the table.
"Let's go."
The man adjusted the brim of his hat, his voice cold and without any emotion.
Vodka stood up and followed Gin out of the bar.
The bar was still bustling with people listening to upbeat music, drinking wine, and excitedly chatting with friends.
——No one knows that a murder just happened here.
