I'm writing a novel in Ming Ke, if you mess with me, you'll be the heroine

Seeing Vodka's flustered expression as he tried to explain but didn't know how to start, Chu Ming chuckled and continued to sow discord: "Hey, Vodka, how about this, when I become the BOSS in the future, I'll help you out and make Gin call you 'big brother,' how about that? Hehehe..."

As Vodka's expression grew increasingly broken, Chu Ming laughed with unbridled arrogance.

Before his laughter had even faded, a cold snort suddenly came from behind him. Before he could react, a slightly cool hand gripped the back of his neck. It wasn't forceful, but it startled Chu Ming, sending a chill through his entire body. He froze on the spot. To be able to silently creep up on him from behind without him even noticing—

There was only one person...

Wait, is this even scientific? How come I always get caught red-handed whenever I say something bad?

Vermouth said Gin was upstairs organizing documents, but he was clearly watching the stairs the whole time!

He just used that trick to scare Vodka, and now the tables have turned, it's his turn...

Upon seeing Gin appear, Vodka immediately felt emboldened, as if someone had bolstered his position, and loudly complained, "Big brother, Granbury actually framed you as an undercover agent!"

Chu Ming didn't say anything at this moment, which was tantamount to admitting it. He retorted loudly, "Nonsense, everyone knows that Gin is definitely not an undercover agent. I was just joking. Look at all these people here, none of them said anything, but you took it seriously! Something's not right with you!"

Vodka was dumbfounded and speechless at Chu Ming's counterattack.

The hand gripping the back of his neck tightened slightly, causing Chu Ming to hiss and instinctively shrink back. He turned his head and looked up at Gin with a sincere expression, shaking his head as he tried to shake off the hand: "Gin—cough cough, big brother, when did you get here? I didn't notice..."

Gin sneered. He was completely used to Chu Ming's behavior of calling him by his code name whenever there was a problem. He wished he could just strangle this guy to death. His voice was frosty: "When you were asking me for a bomb."

"Impossible! I even glanced at the stairs back then, and no one came down!" Chu Ming suspiciously glanced at the others around him. There must be a bad guy among the crowd secretly reporting this!

"Who told you I was upstairs?" Seeing Chu Ming twisting his body like a pretzel, shrugging his shoulders alternately in an attempt to break free, Gin frowned and released him with some disgust, then slowly pulled a tissue from the table and wiped his hands.

???

Did Vermouth trick me?

Chu Ming never expected Vermouth to lie to him about such a small matter. He blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.

Seeing Chu Ming looking at her with a hint of accusation, Vermouth, who had been holding back her laughter for a while, couldn't help but cover her mouth exaggeratedly, looking apologetic: "Oh dear, I remembered wrong. Gin said he was going to the underground lab to find Sherry. Sigh, I didn't sleep well last night, my memory has gotten worse. You guys are really something, not even reminding me~"

Chianti rolled her eyes: "What kind of reminder is that? When Cohen and I arrived, you and Bourbon were already sitting here drinking. Who else but you two knew where Gin was?"

Bourbon then gave an innocent smile: "I was wondering why I didn't notice Gin leaving the lab and going upstairs. Turns out you were mistaken..."

Chu Ming gritted his teeth, not bothering to argue with these two. There would be plenty of time to get revenge, so there was no need to rush. He turned to Gin beside him, his face serious as he tried to change the subject: "What did you go to see Sherry for, big brother? Her research made progress in just one night?"

Gin glanced at Chu Ming, not exposing his intentions, but his words did not reassure Chu Ming much: "No, I just went to ask her how much she knows about the Bronx."

"..."

What are you asking? Mind your own business as a regular employee about the succession!

Although he thought this in his heart, Chu Ming could not say it out loud. He could only cough twice to cover up his embarrassment and try to find a topic to divert Gin's attention. However, before he could think of what to say, he suddenly felt himself being dragged and pulled up from the chair.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, bro? Are you going to drag me to the training ground again? Wait, didn't we go yesterday?" Chu Ming struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so he simply used his hands and feet to cling tightly to the bar, creating some resistance for Gin to drag him. "Don't force me! I absolutely won't go!!!"

Gin felt a vein throbbing on his forehead. Looking at Chu Ming's expression that seemed to say, "Don't force me into prostitution," he was so angry that his hand gripping Chu Ming's collar trembled slightly. He said, word by word, "Let go, go do the mission."

He felt that he must have been out of his mind to suggest supervising Granbury's mission yesterday. It was fine to have Vodka with him on the mission. Apart from having to keep an eye on Vodka to make sure he didn't leave any traces, he didn't have to worry about any other chores.

But it's different with Granbury. Although the mission doesn't require him to worry about anything, Granbury is really good at talking, never letting anyone have a moment's peace, making you want to poison him into silence all the time.

Moreover, Granburg is lying through his teeth right now. If you argue with him, the boss will try to smooth things over, but if you don't argue, you have nowhere to vent your anger. And who knows when the one-time mute drug that Potter initiated will actually be ready...

Chu Ming, of course, had no idea what Gin was thinking. He only turned his head and saw that Gin's face was cold but he didn't seem angry. So he let go of Chu Ming's hands and feet and let Gin drag him out: "Hey, big brother, I can walk by myself. Don't tire yourself out. Big brother, really, you should have said you were going to do a mission. Missions are good, I love doing missions the most. I thought you were going to go crazy and take me to the training ground again..."

Gin, annoyed by his nagging, let go of his hand and warned him, "Shut up. If you keep talking nonsense, you can leave after training."

Chu Ming obediently shut up and followed Gin out. After they drove away from the base, he looked at Gin, who hadn't said a word in the driver's seat, and asked, "Big brother, is there something you want to tell me that you suddenly took me away from the base?"

Given Gin's personality, if he heard someone talking about him like that behind his back, he would either pull out his gun or at least spend half a day at the training ground. But today he suppressed his anger and dragged him out without even a driver. Something must be wrong.

Could it be that Gin has finally come to his senses and wants to help him usurp the throne?
