At the gate requiring facial recognition, Curaçao hurriedly entered after being identified. She stood in an empty room with only one screen. Curaçao looked up at the screen and said, "Sir, that Matsuda is very tight-lipped."

Rum's voice, distorted with electronic distortion, rang out emotionlessly: "Is that so? That's actually a good thing. If the two of them weren't related, why would Matsuda Jinpei be gritting his teeth and refusing to say what we want to know? He clearly knows what Doyago will face if he does."

Curaçao asked with downcast eyes, "He won't budge, what should we do next?"

“It’s alright, there’s a use to not giving in. In that case, we’ll use our other plan.” Rum’s tone was laced with malice.

Just as Rum had predicted, Jiang Jin immediately began searching for Matsuda Jinpei's whereabouts after Furuya Rei's visit. With the help of other members of the group, they quickly found the dashcam footage from a car at the entrance of the alley where Matsuda Jinpei disappeared.

in the living room,

Jiang Jin tossed his phone onto the table with a thud. Mingyuan looked at the phone with a pang of heartache, for it was his!

Worried about exposing the group members in front of Furuya Rei, and also to ensure that Mingyuan wouldn't always go hungry, Jiang Jin asked Wu Yu to send the information he had found to Mingyuan.

With her other hand, she picked up Mingyuan's phone. Furuya Rei first nodded apologetically to Mingyuan on behalf of Jiang Jin, and then looked at the video on the phone. In the video, two men in black were dragging Matsuda Jinpei, and the person following behind them was Binja.

"It seems Rum was the one who took him away." Rei Furuya finished watching the video and gently put his phone down. "He's certainly got a long reach. Didn't Binga cooperate with them? Has he sent any news?"

Jiang Jin frowned and shook his head: "No. Either he betrayed us, or Rum suspected him and he can't send messages."

But whatever the reason, it's not a good thing.

Jiang Jin wasn't afraid that Rum would come after him, but this time he reached out to someone Jiang Jin least expected.

Matsuda Jinpei has always been a distant figure; he doesn't belong to either side, yet there is genuine interaction between them.

“If Rum arrested Jinpei to deal with you, then he’ll undoubtedly use his former police officer status to his advantage,” Furuya Rei calmly analyzed. “If he’s going to do it, he’ll never let you take him away before Jinpei tells him what he wants.”

Jiang Jin's eyes were already blazing with barely suppressed malice. He hated being threatened the most. Last time, they framed him for betraying the organization, and this time they planned to make him "collude" with the police.

This old man actually chose a trap that involved dancing on Gin's red flag.

Although Furuya Rei was worried about Matsuda Jinpei, this matter now involved Jiang Jin, making it a difficult choice, but people's hearts are ultimately biased.

"Buzz—" Jiang Jin's phone rang again, this time with an internal email. Jiang Jin patiently opened the email, which contained a photo and a video, both showing Matsuda Jinpei being tortured miserably.

Jiang Jin slammed his phone on the table again: "Provoking me? This is provocation!"

Furuya Rei looked at the email he had sent to Jiang Jin, which showed Matsuda Jinpei covered in wounds. He knew very well that regardless of Duya's attitude towards Matsuda Jinpei, Rum's behavior was a blatant provocation to the young man.

Mingyuan then added, "We couldn't find the car that took Songtian away before, but Lao Wu just messaged me saying he'll suddenly be able to find it."

"Ha, is this a deliberate provocation to provoke me and then reveal my location to lure me there?" Jiang Jin almost laughed in anger. It seemed that Rum had already prepared for both scenarios.

If he were ruthless, regardless of whether Matsuda Jinpei refused to go or not, he could still make up a whole bunch of stories about Matsuda Jinpei.

Anyway, Matsuda Jinpei's identity as a former police officer is real.

If he goes there, who knows what might be waiting for him at that exposed address.

“You can’t go there, Jin.” Rei Furuya’s expression was very calm. At this moment, he was afraid that Jin might actually kill him in a fit of anger because of the provocation. “That address is very likely Rum’s trap.”

Jiang Jin glanced at Furuya Rei. Facing those dark red eyes filled with hostility, Furuya Rei calmly advised, "Even if Rum doesn't go, he might use it to create some evidence, but ultimately, a lie is a lie. We'll always find a way to overturn it, and I'll definitely stand by you. But if you go, get trapped, and something happens to you, you won't be able to do anything."

Rei Furuya's words were quite sincere. Jiang Jin did not answer him, but instead asked, "Rei, you don't blame me for deliberately getting close to Jinpei back then?"

"Is it your fault?" Furuya Rei seemed somewhat helpless upon hearing Jiang Jin's question. He said to Jiang Jin, "I told you from the beginning to stay away from him. I also told Jinpei to stay away from you. Did either of you listen?"

Jiang Jin awkwardly touched his nose, then heard Furuya Rei continue, "I have to protect at least one of you two, right? Jinpei is in Rum's hands, his chances of survival are slim, so..."

Furuya Rei looked intently at Jiang Jin: "Duya Go, you can't afford to get into any more trouble. You understand what I mean."

No, I don't want to understand.

Mingyuan glanced at Jiang Jin, then at Jiang Guling, and pondered, keeping his eyes down and his mind focused. What was going on? Given this atmosphere, should he stay under the table?

Jiang Jin regretted asking such a question, and he quickly changed the subject: "Ahem... Rum gave me two options, but I'm not going to choose either one."

Rei Furuya frowned slightly: "What do you want to do?"

“Ah Ling, you don’t need to get involved in this. This is clearly a feud between me and Rum. Don’t help either of us. The more Rum and I fight to the death, the happier that gentleman will be. If you get involved, it will make him realize that our relationship is very complicated.” Jiang Jin had already come up with a third plan. “This will be detrimental to future plans. The more you protect yourself now, the more that gentleman will think you can be the knife that punishes me in the future.”

Furuya Rei opened his mouth, but in the end, he nodded and remained silent, seemingly agreeing with Jiang Jin. However, what he was thinking was a different scene. Furuya Rei felt even more that Jiang Jin was cold-hearted, as if he could never see any emotional struggle in the other person.

Duago was the kind of person who was willing to risk his life to win against Rum. He claimed that he wanted to protect himself so that his superiors wouldn't use them as pawns to consolidate power, all for their own good.

In reality, what Yago truly cherished was the unknown force he held in his hands, and what he desperately didn't want to be controlled by others.

He was just doing it incidentally.

He even said that it didn't matter if he died, completely disregarding the fate of all the relationships he was involved with afterwards.

Why? Why can this person be so cold-hearted and indifferent, while he has to suffer? Jiang Jin felt an even stronger surge of emotions in Furuya Rei's heart that were even more unfathomable.

This person always only tells him half and keeps half of what he knows. Even though he has revealed many of his past secrets, this person is still mysterious and secretive.

Only that fool Matsuda Jinpei would mistake Toyago for some good person forced to do bad things. Since the bright moon cannot shine alone, then don't try to be the bright moon.

No, this person was never meant to be the bright moon, wanting to shine on everyone.

He was clearly a dark cloud, using a soft disguise to cover and deceive everyone, but it was merely a false calm before the thunder. He appeared only because of the wind and rain, his body concealing piercing lightning.

Those who try to approach him are either ignorant birds, iron wings that dream of piercing through the dark clouds, or torrential rains that bring disaster.

Shouldn't such a dark cloud be accompanied by torrential rain?

Jiang Jin had no idea what Furuya Rei was thinking behind the scenes. He was just determined to overturn Rum's chessboard and find an opportunity to beat up this old man.
