Chapter 12 Bourbon's Speculation
At night, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and its bright light shone through a glass window onto a pale-skinned boy.
After organizing the information on his phone in the afternoon, Bai Yexiu has been sprawled on the sofa and sleeping ever since.
He was awakened by the vibration of his phone. His bright, clear amber eyes seemed to glow faintly in the dark room.
"What is it, Gin?"
This was already the umpteenth time his sweet dreams had been interrupted. A hint of malice lingered in Bai Yexiu's voice.
"Go downstairs, we have a mission." Gin stated his purpose succinctly.
really.
He knew that Gin contacting him was never a good thing; all he wanted to do was sleep.
Bai Yexiu stood up, didn't turn on the light, and walked straight to the door, putting on the black trench coat hanging next to him.
From as far back as he can remember, his eyes have had night vision, saving him the trouble of turning on the lights. In situations like this, it makes no difference to him whether the lights are on or off.
After quickly putting on his shoes and gathering his gear, Bai Yexiu shuffled downstairs.
It's 9:30 pm now. To be honest, he still wants to sleep a little longer. It's rare for him to have such a peaceful few days.
Bai Yexiu spotted the black Porsche parked by the roadside at a glance, walked over, skillfully opened the car door, and got in.
When Gin saw Byakuya Xiu get into the car, he put out the cigarette he had just lit.
There was an open laptop and a communication headset in the car, the headset was even shaped. There was only Gin and him in the car. Vodka seemed to have gone out on business. It was obvious who had done this.
"Huh?" Bai Yeshu pretended to be surprised and picked up the headset on the computer. "Qin-chan, you're so thoughtful."
"Stop talking nonsense and put it on."
Gin glanced at him and continued, "The target this time is a senator who is having a dinner party at home. Chianti and Coron are on their way to the sniping location, and Bourbon is at the dinner party."
He then pointed to the laptop beside him: "This is the footage from the surveillance cameras at the banquet. Bourbon will act according to your instructions later. When the time is right, have Bourbon take that congressman to the window."
After Gin's detailed explanation, Bai Yeshu glanced at Gin with a bored look in his eyes: "Commander Bourbon, isn't this something you could have done by yourself?"
Bai Yexiu felt that the name Bourbon sounded familiar, and upon thinking back, the image of the handsome black-haired guy he had met while working a part-time job a while ago popped into his head. This was quite strange.
Gin, upon hearing his question, pointed to his own ear. There, Gin also had a communication earpiece on his ear.
“I’m on the phone with Chianti and Coron,” Gin said expressionlessly.
Okay, mission evasion failed.
Bai Yexiu picked up the pre-shaped headset, put it on, adjusted it, and then tapped it to connect to Bourbon's call.
At this moment, undercover police officer Tooru Amuro is at a congressman's dinner party, pressing his earpiece and waiting for instructions.
Soon, the headset was connected, and to Amuro's surprise, it wasn't Gin or any other member's voice on the other end, but a boy's voice.
"Bourbon, is it! From now on, just listen to me, I am your commander."
The boy's voice was very clear and his tone was lazy and casual, sounding like he was not yet 15 years old.
Amuro Tooru was a little surprised.
This seems to be another member of the organization. Since he can serve as a commander in Gin's missions, he must at least be a codenamed member. And a minor codenamed member…
Amuro Tooru gritted his teeth, mentally making a fuss about the organization. Recruiting minors into the organization was nothing short of heinous.
But this boy didn't seem to have mentioned his code name. Could he be an outer member? No, impossible. Outer members aren't qualified to be commanders of code-named members.
Or... is he deliberately not saying it?
But Amuro Tooru's thoughts were quickly interrupted.
"You should be able to see that congressman, right? According to Gin's original plan, find an excuse to approach him."
Bai Yexiu stared intently at the monitor screen, where a handsome blond man with dark skin was walking towards their target.
This handsome guy is the same handsome guy Bai Yexiu met when he was doing a part-time job last time.
It really was him.
Bai Yexiu wasn't too surprised. The mission was more important. He could make contact with them after completing the mission.
Bourbon then successfully approached his target and was now talking to him. Meanwhile, Bai Yexiu, bored, glanced at the other people attending the banquet on the monitor.
Indeed, commanding tasks are incredibly boring.
At this moment, Bai Yexiu noticed a corner of the banquet where a man accidentally touched a woman's buttocks. However, the woman mistook him for someone else and slapped the man's friend. The man who accidentally touched the woman's buttocks was now embarrassed and at a loss for what to do.
Bai Yexiu's lips curled up slightly, which Gin noticed.
"Don't focus your attention on irrelevant things." Gin suddenly spoke like a ghost, startling Byakuya.
Bai Yexiu then shifted his attention to Bourbon.
At this moment, Bourbon and the target were talking about something, and they were getting very excited and gradually moving closer to the window.
But Gin was clearly getting impatient and said in a low voice, "Tell Bourbon to hurry up."
"Bourbon, hurry up," Bai Yexiu relayed to Amuro Tooru.
At this moment, Amuro Tooru was thinking about how to sabotage the organization's operation and escape unscathed. Because it was a microphone communication system, whatever Amuro Tooru said could be heard by the person on the other end, and turning off the microphone would seem suspicious.
However, Amuro Tooru recalled Gin's words in his earpiece, "Don't focus on irrelevant things," and it seemed that Gin was a bit strict with the boy.
Amuro Tooru became even more curious about the boy's identity. But right now, the most important thing was to do as the boy said.
"Be careful not to let the target be called away by others." Bai Yexiu noticed several people on the monitor who seemed to be trying to stop the target. At the same time, he also noticed a corner of the banquet earlier, where the woman who had punched the wrong person was apologizing to the man she had wrongly accused, and then suddenly changed her expression and slapped the man who had actually touched her buttocks.
What a formidable woman.
Bai Yexiu smiled, but unfortunately, Gin noticed him.
"What's so appealing to you? Just focus on the target and the bourbon, ignore everything else."
Once again warned by Gin, Byakuya simply kept a straight face, not allowing himself to show any expression.
Does Gin's eye rotate 360 degrees?
Bai Yexiu couldn't help but steal a glance at Gin before looking at the monitor.
If he hadn't been wearing a headset, which would have allowed people on the other side to hear him, he would have blurted out that complaint long ago.
The main problem is that if other members hear him criticizing Gin here, it won't have a good impact.
On the monitor, Bourbon and the target had reached the window.
"Hold him back." After giving the order, Bai Yexiu looked up and winked at Gin. Gin immediately ordered the guns to fire.
The monitor clearly showed that the target had fallen to the ground.
"Phew..." Bai Yexiu pressed his earpiece and said his last words: "OK, you can cut it off now. Mission accomplished."
Then Bai Yexiu set an example by turning off his earpiece.
Since the next matter concerns Bourbon, Bai Yexiu doesn't want to get too involved; it's just a matter of taking a statement.
