Xia Ye took out her phone, smiled slightly, and answered the call.
"Gin, what do you want?"
"Are you free now?"
Gin's calm voice came through, as sinister as ever, but this time it also contained a lot of anger.
"Sure, just tell me what's wrong!"
Xia Ye gave the women in the living room a shushing look, but they had already held their breath the moment they heard Gin's name, so Xia Ye didn't need to tell them to be quiet.
"Big Black Bar has been hacked!"
Gin got straight to the point, his tone cold and concise.
"Oh?"
Xia Ye said calmly:
"Who did it?"
"have no idea......"
Gin didn't doubt Xia Ye's indifferent attitude. It was just a level 3 stronghold that Xia Ye had never been to. It would be suspicious if she was too shocked!
"The entire data disk of the bar's surveillance footage was taken. The peripheral members who were attacked did not see the attacker's face. Questioning the bar's customers also yielded no clues. This time, the enemy is a master!"
Gin's tone was grave, clearly suspecting this was a prelude to some forces preparing to take action against the organization, but—
Why would they invade such a low-level stronghold?
Was it some kind of test?
Gin's mind flashed through the images of numerous formidable enemies.
But I never expected it.
This time, the enemy is just a primary school student with cheat codes!
"Don't you even know a single piece of intelligence about the enemy?"
Xia Ye's tone was clearly laced with sarcasm; he had no regard for Gin's feelings.
"And then what? What do you want to do?"
"I originally wanted to send someone to blow up the Big Black Bar—"
Gin's voice was icy. Explosions were commonplace for the organization, but—
"However, I've changed my mind. We haven't found any clues about the intruders, nor do we know what force is targeting us. So, I'm going to lure them out!"
"Are you sure this will work?"
Xia Ye frowned and questioned:
"This base has clearly been compromised, yet the organization hasn't made a move. Even if the enemy were an idiot, they'd know something's wrong, right? How can we possibly lure them out like this?"
"The bar isn't the point—"
Because the plan still needed Natsume's help, Gin patiently explained:
(Zhao Dede) "Actually, when the bar manager was attacked, Tequila sent an email to his computer. Although the email was destroyed normally, I suspect that the other party had seen the contents of the email."
Seeing that Xia Ye didn't ask any questions, Gin continued:
"The email contained information about a deal Tequila was to make a few days later. The bar manager was informed because cooperation was needed; if the enemy saw the email—"
"They might have set an ambush during the tequila transaction that day?"
Xia Ye picked up the conversation:
"Regardless of the circumstances, Tequila is a core member of the organization. Whether we kill him or capture him, the other side will gain a lot!"
"That's right!"
Gin said calmly:
"So we plan to continue the tequila trade, lure the enemy in, wipe them out in one fell swoop, or at the very least find out who they are so we can take revenge later!"
"I know~"
Xia Ye understood Gin's plan: it was a nested scheme, with the enemy ambushing Tequila, and Gin ambushing the enemy. As for Tequila's opinion, Gin probably didn't care much.
of course.
Xia Ye knew.
There are actually no enemies.
Conan is putting in all his effort to crack the QQ account!
"Roland!"
Gin's tone turned serious:
I'll need your help then!
"no problem!"
Natsume's quick agreement surprised Gin.
Logically speaking, since Xia Ye is Vermouth's man, he shouldn't be able to give orders directly. Yet, he didn't contact Vermouth first before telling Xia Ye about this, and Xia Ye actually agreed.
"You agree?"
"Yup!"
"Just let me know when the time comes~ lol"
"..."
Soon after.
Gin hung up the phone, puzzled.
Xia Ye put away his phone. Ai and Ran had already walked over and, along with Eri and Elena sitting next to Xia Ye, focused their inquisitive gazes on him.
Chapter 249 Time to Lay the Line~
I briefly told everyone about Gin, and the girls, both young and old, who were initially curious, instantly lost interest.
Let alone Ran and Eri.
Even Ai Haibara's family, who have close ties to the Black Organization, simply said "Oh" and then stopped paying attention.
Ai patted his arm again:
"Go ahead and do what you want, as long as it doesn't affect the family. My sister, mom, and I don't want to get involved with the organization anymore, understand?"
"Of course I know!"
Xia Ye pinched Xiao Ai's little face and chuckled:
"Don't worry, Ai, I promise I won't affect you at all. Hmm, if there's any sign of trouble, I'll just take out Gin and nip the danger in the bud!"
"puff--!"
Ai rolled her eyes at him, amused.
"He's the organization's top enforcer, yet you talk about him like he's some lowly nobody you could crush with a flick of your wrist. I'm not going to bother with you anymore, just watch yourself!"
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever my Ai says~"
Xia Ye's lips curled up, his tone filled with laughter, as if he were coaxing his girlfriend or a child. Sitting next to him, Eri and Elena looked at Ai and covered their mouths to chuckle.
"Pooh!"
Being looked at with teasing eyes by two elders, her own older sister, and Xiao Lan, her "love rival," Xiao Ai let out a coquettish snort and punched Xia Ye in the waist with her small fist.
"You should just listen to everything I say!"
"I'm telling you to go after some normal women, are you going to listen?"
This statement came out.
Mingmei and Elena are doing relatively better.
Mingmei had a relationship with Xia Ye when he first transmigrated; she was a perfectly normal woman.
Elena.
The abnormal woman Ai was referring to was her, but because of her distorted values, she didn't care at all, so she seemed perfectly normal.
Xiaolan is alright too.
Although she was a bit late, she was still the girl who had officially established a relationship with Xia Ye, so she wasn't guilty at all about what Xiao Ai said.
Eri Kisaki, on the other hand, still has an ambiguous relationship with Natsume, and also with Ran, so she seems to be the abnormal woman that Ai described as Natsume recklessly provoking.
then--
Her delicate face flushed slightly.
Xiaolan was furious.
Although I know that's not what Ai meant.
But since her mother was so embarrassed by what she said, she, as her daughter, definitely had to stand up for her!
After all, no matter how troublesome the relationship between her mother and Xia Ye is, it's her and her mother's business. Ai should worry about her own family matters!
"You little brat!"
Xiao Lan gave a soft snort, pounced on Ai, pinched her cheek, and threatened her fiercely:
"What, are you looking down on me?"
"Humph!"
"No wonder she's my official girlfriend!"
"So you're going to put on airs now, huh?"
"I don't!"
Although Ai's strength has greatly increased due to the effects of the Resurrection Elixir, she is still no match for Ran. She can only struggle helplessly under Ran's hands, and her cute little face is kneaded like dough.
Xiao Ai felt very wronged.
She was just thinking about her family's situation and complained a little; after all, she had already accepted reality, and that was all she could do was complain.
however--
Xiaolan was just trying to change the subject.
I don't care whether she did it on purpose or not.
After rubbing Ai's face for a while, Ran seemed to get addicted. A mischievous smile appeared in her beautiful blue eyes, and she hugged Ai and started tickling her!
"Hahaha...it itches!"
Ai was completely overwhelmed by Ran, struggling to breathe from her tickling. After all, she was small and thin, at a disadvantage compared to Ran's tall and slender figure. However—
"ah!"
Xiao Lan let out a low scream.
Her voice carried a hint of shyness.
"You brat, where are you touching?"
"Hmph, then let me go—"
Ai gave a soft snort, then rummaged around in her hand again, the sensation making her feel resentful. Before she turned into a child, she was much more well-endowed than Ran, but now—
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Ai gritted her teeth, her little hand clenched in a rather thuggish manner, her large, icy blue eyes filled with threat:
"If you don't let go, I'll do something even worse!"
"Tch! You think I'm afraid of you?"
Everyone present was one of their own. The thick skin that Ran had learned from Yukiko and was gradually growing stronger finally came in handy.
Although her current posture with Ai is quite indecent, and Ai's actions are also quite lewd, Ran doesn't care at all. So what if this brat takes advantage of her a little? Humph, she'll just pretend that she was touched by (acac) Natsume!
