Chapter 315 Information Trading
Chapter 321 Intelligence Transaction

Current record (34/5) I can still do it. . I can still do it. . Phew. . .

"What did you just say?" Shuichi Akai never expected that I would make such a suggestion.

"I said, I will provide you with all the information I know about the Japanese bases, as well as the detailed data and missions of the two gold medalists, Vermouth and Margaret. In return, I want you to provide me with a few people's security guarantees and allow us to participate in the witness protection program."

"....." After a short silence, Akai Shuichi stared at me straight, trying to find a flaw in my eyes, but he failed. He could not see any fluctuation in my eyes. He lit a cigarette and winked at the others, and soon everyone left one after another. In the end, there were only two of us left in the room, he leaned against the table, and I was tied to a chair.

"What exactly are you planning?" Akai Shuichi asked. "Also, what is your purpose in doing this?"

"Hu..." I let out a long breath. "Give me some time, I'll tell you slowly." I leaned back in my chair. "You and Miyano Akemi are lovers, right?"

"Sherry told you?"

"Yes. Haha, you really know about our relationship." I nodded. "To be honest, I was also surprised. I originally thought that Miyano Akemi was with you, a gold medalist, in order to save her own life, but I didn't expect that you, a gold medalist, actually wanted to rely on Miyano Akemi to get in touch with Sherry. You also want to use Sherry's potential to wipe out the organization in one fell swoop. To be honest, when I learned from Vermouth that you were from the FBI, I was also shocked. However, it is precisely because of this that I also see hope for survival, so I'm going to gamble. I'm going to bet that the information I give you is enough to exchange for our safety."

"You guys?" Akai asked. "You and Sherry?"

"I hope you can add your own girlfriend as well."

"Do you have any news about Mingmei?" A gleam of light flashed in Akai's eyes.

"If not, would I come to you?" I smiled. "The mission I received when I came to the United States this time was to eliminate you for the organization. You have been in the American base for so long, and I believe that you must have had many opportunities to meet Sherry when you were in contact with Mingmei in the past few years. You should have heard about me from her. You should also know that Vermouth has always trusted me, so she would never dream that I would betray the organization."

"Huh, if that's the case, what reason do you have to betray the organization?" Akai's eyes flashed with wisdom. "Of course I've heard about your story. You joined the organization at the age of seven. Except for the time you took to recover from your injuries, you were given a code name on the first day you joined the organization. After a three-year protection period, you defeated all challengers by yourself. When you were less than eleven years old, you followed Vermouth to attack the FBI headquarters. Your reputation in the organization rose rapidly. Now, apart from the gold medal, you are almost the highest representative of power and combat power in the organization. In addition, Vermouth favors you. Now you tell me that you want to betray the organization?"

"You have been staying in the United States. The information you know about me is just fragments of information you got from Sherry and the intelligence obtained from the official channels of the organization. Do you know that I was assigned by Margaret a few years ago?" I said without revealing any flaws.

"Margaret, the assassin under her command?" Akai naturally knew this person. "How many years have you been under her command?"

"Yeah, that's great." I chuckled. "But I can't hold on any longer. The missions are getting harder and harder, and now almost all the missions I receive from Margaret are A-level missions. I can be very arrogant and say that I am excellent, but I am only fifteen years old. Some missions are simply beyond my ability to complete. To be honest, I've had enough. On the one hand, I have to be played to death by Margaret, and on the other hand, I have to withstand the pursuit of various departments outside. Rye, if it were you, would you be able to bear it? Every day I stay in the organization now, I may be one step closer to death."

"So you want to find a way out from me?"

"Yes, when I learned that you were from the FBI, I was thinking that since I didn't have much hope of surviving in the organization, I might as well take this opportunity to gamble. But not just me, I hope you can rescue Sherry as well. You know, she's my girlfriend. By the way, if you and Mingmei really succeed, I seem to have to call you brother-in-law?"

"Ha." Hearing the word "brother-in-law", Akai actually laughed, which was very rare. "I admit that I was moved by your words, but unfortunately, I will not let my people take risks. What's more, you followed me right after I was exposed. You want me to trust you? Haha, are you too naive..."

"The basement of Apartment 109, rd Lane, Queen Street, Mingmei is there now." I interrupted Shuichi Akai. "This is the first information I provided you. It also represents my sincerity. You can send someone to check, but it's better to be quick. Vermouth only gave me three days to kill you. If I don't go back within these three days, I will be treated as a traitor. So I don't want to joke with my life and Sherry's life. Because Gin set an ambush on you, you were exposed. I designed this action by taking advantage of Vermouth's trust in me. Rye, it is because Sister Mingmei is your lover that I have the opportunity to find you. This time I need your help. If you don't help me, please don't harm Sherry, otherwise, even if I die, I will drag you to hell!"

"...You really don't look like a 15-year-old kid." A solemn look appeared between Akai's brows. His left hand subconsciously lifted his chin and began to think. Yes, now that I have provided him with news about Mingmei, it is impossible for him not to be tempted. Even if it is only a glimmer of hope, he does not want to give up. He knows very well what kind of disaster his exposure will bring to Mingmei. Now that there is such a chance to rescue Mingmei, how can Akai bear it? Even if he cannot do this for public reasons, but for private reasons, can't he take people to investigate?

"I told you, all I want is the safety and freedom of Sherry and me." I replied. "You can take me to any place you think is safe, and then I will provide you with all the information I know. As for you, I just want you to send someone to rescue Sherry. As for Sister Mingmei, it's up to you. After that, Sherry and I will participate in the witness protection program, and I also hope that you can write off my previous grievances with the FBI. Of course, if you don't believe me, you can inject me with truth serum."

"..." Shuichi Akai looked at me coldly, without saying a word, and turned away. Soon, two FBI agents came in, with their guns loaded. I knew that Shuichi Akai was going to detain me here first, and what about him? Maybe he had already taken people to rescue Mingmei.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

The next day at noon, Akai returned to the apartment with his men. The first thing he did when he entered the door was to free my hands and bring me a bag of water.

"How is it? Did you save anyone?" I unscrewed the water bottle and gulped down two gulps.

"No." Akai's face was slightly cold.

"What?! No one?!" I said in shock.

"No, they're there." Akai glanced at me and took in my demeanor. "It's just that the defense was tight, so I didn't dare to act rashly."

"Oh, are you afraid that I will set a trap for you?" I sneered. "You should be thankful that Mingmei is Sherry's biological sister, otherwise, with your relationship with her as an undercover agent, she would have been executed long ago. How could she give you a chance to save her?" "And you are also Vermouth's confidant, so it's easy for you to use Mingmei." Akai said coldly.

"Tsk, I'm already here." I threw away the half-eaten sandwich and held out my hands. The agent standing guard quickly handcuffed my wrists. "You are my savior now, you have the final say. The second piece of information I'm giving you is that Sherry is currently studying biology at Harvard. She lives at 107, King's Avenue Lane . Within two days, I hope you can do something. Don't fail to save people again."

"I don't plan to save her now." Akai Shuichi said coldly.

"What did you say?!" His words made me unhappy. "I have shown enough sincerity. If you are unwilling to cooperate, please let me go for Mingmei's sake. I can write this mission to kill you as a failure, and just pretend that nothing happened between us. After the mission, I will leave the United States. I will have nothing to do with you anymore. If you want to force me to stay... Humph, then don't even think about getting any information from me!" As he spoke, a faint murderous intent spread. Several agents subconsciously tightened their guns.

"Come back to headquarters with me." Akai Shuichi was not intimidated by the murderous intent I released. "I will protect your safety. You tell me the situation of the Japanese base. I will send people to dig deep and lure Vermouth and Gin back. Only then can I be sure to save them."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Hmph, do you have a choice?" Akai Shuichi sneered.

"Rye, you'd better not delay with me. Once the three days are up, everything will be exposed and you may never have another chance to save people!" I said angrily.

"What can I do? It's not your turn to discipline a child like you!" A fierce look flashed in Akai's eyes. "Take him away!"

"We must see the person alive or dead. This is the usual style of the organization. Your delay will only kill Mingmei and Sherry!" Although I was being strangled, I still yelled at Akai. When I was taken into the car, I put on a black hood and was taken away by the agents. The car drove for about three hours before it stopped, and then a moist smell of soil came to my nose. It should be the place. The new headquarters of the FBI is located in the center of a wetland in the suburbs of Florida. It relies on the natural barrier of the wetland swamp as a defense. The two roads in front and behind are the only two entrances and exits. And the checkpoints are tightly defended, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unfortunately, my head was covered with a black cloth at this time, and I had no chance to appreciate the surrounding scenery. I was taken into custody and walked into the gate, and then I smelled a unique smell of the building. After several twists and turns, I was placed in an interrogation room, and then the black cloth on my head was taken off. The glaring light was hazy, and I slowly saw the people in the interrogation room with me.

At this time, Shuichi Akai had already changed into work clothes and put on a name tag on his chest.

"Akai... Shuichi? Is that your real name?" I looked at him with amusement. "A Japanese came to the United States to work as an FBI. I don't understand."

"This has nothing to do with you." Akai said coldly. "Okay, tell me everything you know."

"If you don't go and save people, I won't tell you anything." I said in a cold voice. "Anyway, I'm already in your territory. I can't run away even if I want to. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. Just think that I was wrong. How could Mingmei fall in love with a treacherous bastard like you!"

"Tell me about the Japanese base, and I'll take care of the rest. I'll also save the people." Akai was not angry at all with my words.

"Don't even think about it!" I struggled in the handcuffs on the chair. "Go save people first, otherwise I won't say anything!"

"I will lead people to rescue them tomorrow, but I want you to tell me first where the research institute of the base in Japan is located."

"You also have spies in the Japanese base? Oh, that's right, how could there not be one?" I suddenly laughed, "Okay, I'll trust you one last time. I know there are two research institutes in Japan, but I don't know if there are any others. One is in Fukuoka, Kondo Pharmaceutical. The other is the research institute that Sherry will go to in the future, and I won't tell you where it is unless you rescue the person!"

"Are you trying to leave a way out for Sherry?" Akai chuckled. He then took out the intercom and called two agents to bring me a set of clothes, and all my clothes were confiscated to prevent any changes.

"Hey, can you please leave this necklace with me?" I dodged an agent's hand. "This is a token of love between Sherry and I, Rye, uh... Akai Shuichi, you wouldn't be so cruel, would you?"

"A token of love?" Akai walked up to me and grabbed the necklace on my chest and looked at it carefully, but didn't find anything wrong. Then he remembered that when he and Mingmei met Sherry, she seemed to have a necklace like this on her chest. "Leave it to him."

Soon, everyone left, leaving me alone in this small interrogation room. I turned around and waved at the monitor, but there was no response, so I sat on the chair, closed my eyes, and fiddled with the necklace on my chest. Next to the interrogation room, Akai Shuichi, Judy and other FBI agents were observing me through a special single-layer mirror.

"Xiu, I don't think this person is trustworthy. Don't you think everything is too coincidental?" Judy said from the side.

"I know, and I don't believe him either. But I really can't figure out what he's going to do." Akai Hideo narrowed his eyes slightly. "A fifteen-year-old legend actually took the initiative to negotiate with the FBI. Under such tight security, it would be too difficult for him to escape. So I don't understand, is he really afraid of Margaret?"

"So, should we send someone to investigate the research institute he mentioned?"

"Well, ask someone to check it out, but don't touch the man at the Japanese base. He's not fit to surface yet." Akai thought for a moment and said, "Also, tomorrow, I want to rescue Mingmei."

"Xuyi, it's very dangerous for you to do this." An old man with white hair stood behind the crowd and spoke.

"I know." Akai's eyes were serious, "But I still want to try."
