Chapter 153: Undercurrent Part 1

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Don't use such a roundabout speaking on me.", Ch'en said flatly, "Just say that there's a traitor in the LGD."

Lin Yie smiled awkwardly, "Not necessarily. It's the LGD afterall, maybe it's your partner or something."

"Impossible. It was my idea to disguise the prisoner as an officer of the Guards Bureau.", Ch'en said, "Ursus can't know. Even most people in the Guards Bureau don't know it."

"...So." Lin Yie suddenly became serious, just like the protagonist of a Hong Kong movie, clenched his brows, knocked on the table with his left hand, and clenched the bag in his right hand.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said, "I know how!!"

"Nonsense.", Ch'en retorted, rolling her eyes, "This is already a fact on the table."

This bun is very delicious.

"The heart is unpredictable.", Lin Yie emotionally recited the lines that often appear in movies, "But you probably don't have that many talents at the top of the LGD, right? wouldn't it be enough to line up those who know? Such a simple matter."

"Yeah, what you said makes sense. Why didn't I think about it? Why don't you quit Rhodes Island, and come to the LGD to be an assistant for me."

Lin Yie wanted to say, "Thank you.", but after seeing Ch'en's expression, he realized that Ch'en was being sarcastic, so he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Excuse me, I don't want to be a secretary."

"A secretary?", Ch'en was silent for a while, softly sighing, "That's not what I meant. What I'm trying to say is that it isn't that simple. The high-level composition of the Guards Bureau is very complicated, as you can see from Swire."

Lin Yie agreed with the point.

"Of course, if he really is lurking in the LGD, I will find him sooner or later.", Ch'en declared.

There was confidence in her words, which somewhat reassured Lin Yie.

"It's a pity that I didn't catch that W.", Lin Yie exclaimed, "I feel that she's a dangerous person."

"Although I haven't met her before. That one is called W.", Ch'en took out the pack of lady cigarettes again, bit the cigarette in her mouth, and lit it. While the white mist was lingering, she said lightly, "But I have a hunch, I'll see her again. That terrorist organization and the LGD will fight again. Next time, we won't be so easily embarrassed."

A group of people in black robes raised their heads and stared at a man and a woman standing on the villa building. The man was in white clothes with a weird smile on his face, while the woman who wore a black coat, bore a cold expression despite her red eyes.

"There was a delay on the way.", the leading black-robed man took off his hood. The man appeared to be about 30 years old, and wore glasses, looking like an associate researcher. "Are you...our people? Reunion movement?

The woman didn't answer, but the man did. Waving his hand, he looked familiar and smiled brightly, "Good evening, everyone from the former Rhine Lab. On such a beautiful night, why not take off your disguises, since this is a business meeting. It means that as part of basic etiquette, one should be honest. If you won't do so, then I'll introduce myself first. My name is Mephisto."

The people hesitated for a while, before taking off their black robes, revealing white uniforms adorned with the logo of Rhine Lab on their collars.

"Researchers? Interesting, I like talking to researchers the most.", Mephisto leaned on his crutch as he slowly walked down the stairs, "Because you're smarter than most people."

The researchers of Rhine Lab glanced at each other in disbelief. Was this young boy, who looked so thin that he could fall over with a slight push, the thug they were looking for?

"I can feel your hesitation, but it's completely unnecessary,", Mephisto said with a smile while standing in front of the researchers of the former Rhine Lab., "We are lunatics, but not lunatics who attack our partners. So, there's no need for you to hide weapons in your clothes. And the lady next to me, I really don't think that fruit knife can scratch me."

The female researcher standing next to Mephisto was taken aback by his words. After being seen through so easily, she subconsciously retreated into the crowd.

The lead researcher coughed twice, "This is just a little bit of our self-defense measures."

"We can fully understand.", Mephisto raised his hands and said with a smile, "So I didn't bring any weapons to stand in front of you, just to convey to you our sincerity, which comes from the integrity of the Reunion movement. Fellows, you want to bring Rhine Labs back to life. Cooperating with us is definitely the best decision you have ever made in your life. We can satisfy all your needs for money, people, or equipment, provided, of course, that you can give us what we want."

The lead researcher took a deep breath and nodded, "I know your rules. We've discussed it before."

"So, where is your sincerity?"

"This is our token of sincerity.", the lead researcher paused briefly before continuing, "She is definitely the greatest work of Rhine Labs, Ifrit."
