Shinjuku area.
Compared to the hustle and bustle at night, Kabukicho seems particularly quiet during the day.
Go through a slightly greasy alley.
Filling the sight are various entertainment venues.
Among the high-rise buildings, nightclubs, bars and theaters are intricately intertwined. The most eye-catching thing among them is not a shop that operates day and night, but a strong man wearing a black suit, a black top hat and sunglasses. Huge figure.
To be honest, when Ye Geng saw Vodka as a road sign there, he really had the urge to turn around and leave. However, when he thought of his current appearance, he still called Vodka and strode away. past:
"Can it be more conspicuous?" A black man wearing black clothes came to the front.
! ?
What is it... Vodka was startled, and quickly reacted and said hello:
"Icewine..."
He had seen Ye Gengyi's appearance more than once.
I remember that after the incident of Yasuki Domon, when Icewine left, Bermod complained to her eldest brother that even she could not tolerate the image of his skin being completely wrapped in black matter.
The Thousand-Faced Witch in the organization has said this, so even if others want to imitate it, it is probably impossible.
"Nightclub?" Ye Gengyi asked.
He knew a total of two organizational bases in the heart of Shinjuku, including the nightclub in front of him.
"Brother is waiting for you inside, um..."
Vodka hesitated for a moment: "Can you guys stop arguing as soon as we meet?"
"Okay." Ye Geng stretched out his hand: "Ten million."
"...cough cough cough."
Before he could express his gratitude, Vodka choked on the second half of Ye Gengyi's words and coughed.
"Vodka." Ye Gengyi suddenly lowered his voice.
"Huh?!" Vodka didn't have time to complain, so he subconsciously raised his vigilance.
He put his hand into his arms and looked around for a while, but found nothing unusual.
...No, no danger?
"Stop looking around and leave quickly." Here, Ye Gengyi became the one leading the way.
"oh!"
Vodka hurried to follow.
At the same time, Ye Gengyi's low and serious voice came to my ears again: "Do you know where the conflict between me and Brother You comes from?"
Isn't it because you always like to criticize others when nothing happens?
Vodka cursed, but the topic involved his eldest brother, and his thoughts became particularly clear. He knew that if he really answered like this, his chat with Icewine would end here, so he hurriedly asked:
"What is it?"
"Belmod." Ye Gengda gave the code name of a member of an organization.
"Ah?" Vodka was confused and sincerely asked for advice: "What does this have to do with Belmod."
"if not?"
Ye Gengyi did not answer directly, but asked: "Have you forgotten? I blocked the gun for your brother on the rooftop. This position and height..."
He pointed to his arm:
"If I had been a little off, the heart of Gin would have been behind it."
Because it is a fact, it is particularly convincing. The eyes behind the vodka sunglasses blinked and said sincerely:
"That's right. Although my eldest brother was wearing a bulletproof vest at the time, he also told me about the situation afterwards. Icewine, your response was very timely. Otherwise, if you were shot in the heart and went into shock, even if it was not fatal, the whole person would be affected. The team is in danger."
"Then you still think there is an irreconcilable conflict between me and your eldest brother?"
Ye Gengyi secretly changed the concept and escalated the quarrel into an irreconcilable conflict.
The topic suddenly became extreme.
Hearing this, Vodka thought it was his own words that caused Ye Gengyi to misunderstand, and he quickly shook his head and explained:
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
Yes, the eldest brother and Icewine can only argue a few words at most. Although most of them end with the eldest brother's silence, but... I just want to make Icewine say less, and I have never thought about one party talking to the other. One side is convinced.
...After all, that is simply impossible to do.
"So, since the problem is neither your brother nor me, then who do you think the problem is?" Ye Geng led the question step by step.
Because this was something Vodka hadn’t figured out yet, so while he was doubtful, a name that Ye Gengyi had mentioned intentionally but not elaborated on before naturally popped up in his mind... No, it was a code name:
"Belmod?"
"So you know." Ye Geng nodded.
"Ah..." Vodka opened his mouth.
"That's right."
Ye Gengyi did not give the other party a chance to explain:
"We won't discuss the details, but you should know it to some extent, right? My research topic is at the forefront of the times. Due to the lack of reference, I can only explore it step by step, so funding is very scarce. Ha... Belmod said in private I have offered money to help me several times in my name. Gin can’t save my face. She must have been looking for reasons to deduct my funds after knowing about this incident. In addition, that woman from Belmod is watching the fun and not bothering to interfere with it. What do you think? In this case, can your brother and I get along well?"
"This, this..."
Vodka thought about the question raised by Ye Gengyi, and found that it was indeed unsolvable.
Because it is a fact that Belmode is not under the control of his eldest brother, and it is also a fact that his eldest brother often ignores Icewine’s emails applying for funding...
Uh...so...
Icewine is actually not wrong, but his eldest brother is stingy and a little unkind? ? ?
Ye Gengyi read a certain innocent expression and chuckled:
"Oh, I'm generous. I won't argue with him. I'll take it as interest if I stab him a few times."
"Icewine...I...I don't even know, I'm sorry." Vodka scratched his head.
Icewine was so loyal to the organization that he suddenly felt that he shouldn't have discussed that topic in the first place.
"Those are all trivial matters. It doesn't matter if I suffer some losses..." Ye Gengyi said seriously: "The key is still gin."
"Brother, what's wrong with him?" Vodka asked hurriedly.
"Well...before that, how much money do you have now?" Ye Gengyi asked.
Vodka hesitated for a moment, then said it: "Uh, 3...3 million..."
oh? I am very good at saving, and I actually saved 700,000 more than last time...
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly and clarified the key points:
"Belmod has 'that one' to protect him. He is indeed a little too casual in some things. Think about Calvados. Don't think I am exaggerating. Your elder brother is such a cautious person. Why don't you let Belmode Are you using it to antagonize me?"
"Icewine, you mean funding?" Vodka suddenly realized.
It finally dawned on me...it was no wonder that I had used so many words to pave the way...
Ye Gengyi said in a deep voice:
"What's wrong? Vodka, have you forgotten what the purpose of Gin's trip to Boston was?"
"How could I forget!"
Vodka became anxious: "Brother is looking for an engineer who is good at computer systems."
"Then what am I?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Engineer..." Vodka said.
"What will be the result of your eldest brother going to Boston?" Ye Gengyi asked again knowingly.
When Vodka talked about this, he immediately became angry: "It's all those damn FBI who are hindering our plan from going smoothly."
"So, isn't the situation already clear?"
Ye Gengyi said: "To confuse your brother, I, an engineer who is still on vacation, cannot maintain his original status due to lack of funds. Although it is not a big deal with my talents, once a problem occurs, it will Did it just satisfy Belmod's evil taste? In the end, the responsibility will only fall on me and Gin."
All the words, at the last moment when the name Belmode was mentioned, were circled into a logical chain.
That's right...Icewine and the eldest brother are both prosperous and destructive...The eyes behind the vodka sunglasses are getting bigger and bigger.
Ye Gengyi continued: "Now you understand, the root of the problem between Gin and I is not the quarrel but the funding. If you want to solve it, just come up with 3 million, otherwise don't say anything else."
"Uh, but... 3, 3 million, I..." Vodka scratched his head: "Can it be less?"
"Have you taken action recently? Is this your funding?" Ye Gengyi casually inquired about information.
"Not really."
Vodka explained: "Like car maintenance, daily expenses, and some for the peripheral members who are developing..."
"Then 2 million." Ye Gengyi took out his mobile phone and opened the transfer transaction page of the overseas bank. "The account number is still the same as before."
"Oh, I know."
Vodka nodded, took the phone and started operating it without hesitation.
After reading the transfer process, Ye Gengyi took back his mobile phone and patted the other party on the back:
"It's really nice to be able to tell you this."
Of course... Vodka raised the corners of his mouth and pretended not to care:
"Okay, let's go faster. Don't keep me waiting."
