Curry was bubbling and simmering on the stove in the kitchen. In the living room, Jiang Jin held a dart in his hand, squinted his eyes, and threw it, hitting the bullseye.

He threw several darts in a row, and each one hit the bullseye.

"Ah Ling, when is the curry ready?" Jiang Jin sat cross-legged on the carpet, throwing another dart as he spoke. Furuya Rei stood in the open kitchen, one hand propped on the counter, the other holding a phone and replying to a message. "What's the rush? I really don't know if the higher-ups sent me to monitor you or to support you."

If anyone else were suspected by their superiors, wouldn't they be eager to do something to prove they were innocent? But this person just stayed at his house, eating and drinking for free, as if he were going to retire there.

Furuya Rei frowned slightly as he looked at the message on his phone, then turned off the stove and said to Jiang Jin, "The curry is ready. There's rice in the pot, so you can eat it yourself."

Jiang Jin put down the dart and turned his head, asking curiously, "You're going out without eating? Is there some kind of mission from the organization?"

Furuya Rei took off his apron, grabbed his coat and car keys, and headed for the door: "Mind your own business. You'd better wash the dishes by the time I get back."

"I know, when have I not washed?"

After closing the door, Jiang Jin went to the window to confirm that Furuya Rei had indeed left, then turned and went into his room. There was a computer on the table. Of course, given Furuya Rei's cautious nature, the fact that he dared to leave both his computer and Jiang Jin in the house at the same time meant that there was nothing on the computer.

As Jiang Jin turned on his computer, he also sent a message in the group. Soon, the computer screen went black for a moment, and then the mouse on the screen started moving on its own.

Within minutes, the computer was back to normal, and Jiang Jin picked up the mouse and started working again. He opened his email, entered an email address, and sent the edited content.

After doing all that, Jiang Jin turned off the computer and left Furuya Rei's room.

After shutting down the computer and then turning it back on, all the activity records from the last boot will be deleted, just like the computers in the old school computer lab.

For Wu Yu, this was just a simple procedure. Of course, Jiang Jin couldn't possibly retire at Jiang Gu Ling's house. However, if he were to actually carry out his plan himself, it would inevitably increase his own suspicions.

Who told him he actually had the script? If the higher-ups asked, was he supposed to point his finger at Karasuma Renya and say, "Haha, old Deng, didn't expect I knew everything, did you?"

Jiang Jin took a picture of the fragrant curry in front of him and posted it in the group chat.

Husky: "So that's why you don't come home? I get it."

Lu Renjia: "Is this the reason you just told us to take Bourbon away to work overtime?"

She Chu: "Just to enjoy the curry all by yourself? How cunning humans are."

Jinjiang: "Who said that? I was doing it for the plan!!"

Long Tao: "@Jinjiang, don't worry about Erha, he's with me."

Jinjiang: In this situation, all I can do is... (image)

Xiao Renwu: "And I'm still running around to find clients."

Give me back my job: "I feel like my colleagues at work are trying to assassinate me lately, it's terrifying."

Bu Xuexi: "? Why did you change your name? I think your original name suited you very well."

Give me back my job: "No. I miss my old job. I was under pressure that I shouldn't have had at my age."

Zhong Qun: "At your age, how come you're still alive?"

Give me back my mom's job: "?"

Although Jiang Jin was constantly being secretly monitored and investigated, he was not prevented from leaving his home. Sometimes, his superiors would assign him tasks.

The missions weren't difficult, but they were all operations where Jiang Jin could be silenced if anything went wrong. Under such circumstances, even if he were truly an undercover agent, he wouldn't dare to act rashly and would likely work even harder to complete the mission.

Jiang Jin walked towards the shop with the telephone. After the call was connected, a deep male voice came through.

"How's the investigation going, Akai-kun?"

On the other end of the phone, Shuichi Akai sat in his car, his gaze fixed on a house outside.

"Isn't our deal a bit backwards? I haven't even received any information, yet you're already ordering me around."

Jiang Jin saw the lollipop bucket next to the phone and started picking out his favorite flavors from it.

“The suspicion against me hasn’t been completely cleared yet. Even if you want to complete the transaction, you have to wait until I’m safe, right?” Jiang Jin laid out all the colorful candies in front of him. “Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to solve the problem you’re investigating.”

Shuichi Akai glanced at the photo inserted in the steering wheel. The photo showed a boy who looked like a high school student, with blue cat eyes and round-framed glasses.

“The person you asked me to investigate is in the CIA? It’s not that easy,” Shuichi Akai said. “Where did you even know that name?”

Jiang Jin sensed Akai Shuichi's probing, and leaning against the wall, instead of answering, asked, "Do you know Ethan Hondo?"

Shuichi Akai's gaze returned to the photograph. He knew, of course, that Ethan Hondou was the high school boy's father. This was the result of his investigation, though he had known this for four years prior.

"What does this name have to do with Hondo Hidemi?" Akai Shuichi asked.

Jiang Jin chuckled and replied, "They are father and daughter, and both worked for the CIA. One joined the organization, and the other has been missing ever since. Four years ago, a member of the organization was discovered to be a CIA spy and was killed by the organization after being exposed. The person who carried out the act and discovered the spy was Mizunashi Rena, and she was subsequently valued and trusted by her superiors because of this."

"You suspect that Hondo Emi and Mizunashi Rena are the same person. You're using her as a raft? You also said that she's trusted by those above." Akai Shuichi had heard about this before; he was still in the organization four years ago, but he only heard it from others. "If you can't deliver a fatal blow, you'll be in even bigger trouble."

Jiang Jin shifted his position and leaned back: "So whether I'm in trouble or not depends on how well Akai-kun cooperates. After all, the thing you asked me to investigate can only be done within the organization."

"Hondo Emi's information is hard to find, but she has a younger brother named Hondo Eisuke. He recently came to Japan; he seemed to have been in the United States before, and I don't know why he suddenly appeared in Japan. He's transferring to Teitan High School soon..." Akai Shuichi revealed Hondo Eisuke's information to the other party in a half-hearted manner, "You could start with him."

"Really? Then thank you very much, Akai-kun." Jiang Jin hung up the phone, smiled at the old lady in the shop, and said, "Grandma, I'll take all these candies too."

Shuichi Akai didn't leave immediately after hanging up the phone; his fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel. Although he had a deal with Toago, if it really turned out that Rena Mizunashi was a CIA mole… Toago clearly wanted to use Eisuke Hondo as bait. Was he going to watch him step into that trap?

To be honest, Shuichi Akai didn't consider himself a champion of justice; he was far more righteous than that other bespectacled kid.

Shuichi Akai suddenly thought of Scotland. At that time, he should have tried his best to stay away from Scotland and avoid any connection with it. But perhaps he suddenly felt that seeing the other party was like seeing a kindred spirit, so he did something he considered "unnecessary".

Instead of saving the person, they incurred Bourbon's wrath.

He lit a cigarette, the flame flickering on and off, and it took Shuichi Akai a long time to start the car... He was actually a very selfish person, and once he did something impulsive in his youth, that was enough.

Let's leave the matter of justice to the people who are just.
