Chapter 47 Gift
Chapter 48 Gift

After the headache subsided for a while, I picked up my phone again and sent Jingliu a text message to let her know that I was safe. This was what she asked me to do when completing the task.

[Sister Jingliu, the mission has been completed. I have some things to do in the next two days, so I plan to go out for a while. Don't worry, I will bring you gifts. By the way, does your stomach still hurt? Remember to take medicine. Ice.]

After confirming the message was correct, I sent it out. Two minutes later, Jingliu replied to my message. [Bing, I feel so bad. Can you come back soon?]

I frowned a little when I saw the message, but finally decided to reply her with "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

After replying to the text message, I ran out of the room without staying too long, went to the counter to pay the bill, and then took a taxi to the base. I'll talk about the investigation later, anyway, there are still about seven years before the official plot.

The car stopped about five kilometers away from the base, and I dialed Vermouth's cell phone number.

"Moshi Moshi, Sister Bei, I'm Bing."

"Ah, Bing, what's wrong again?" came Vermouth's slightly lazy voice.

"Yes. Sister Bei, can you come out and pick me up? I want to go back to the base now. I'm currently at a gas station about five kilometers away from the base.

"Yeah. Okay. But Bing, weren't you going to play for two days? Why are you in such a hurry to come back?"

"It's my subordinate, Baihe. She hasn't been feeling well lately, so I thought I'd better come back early to see her."

"Ah la la, Bing, you really take care of your subordinates. Aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will be jealous?" Vermouth said playfully.

"Really? Sister Bei, please don't take me seriously," I said helplessly, squinting my eyes.

"Haha. Okay. Just wait for me for a while. I'll be leaving soon."

After hanging up the phone with Vermouth, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. Anyway, judging from the extent to which she joked with me about Shiho, she didn't hate Shiho too much for the time being. There is still a chance. After thinking about it, I took out the box containing two sniper rifles from the necklace. Why did I buy these two guns? Because even if we are a member of the organization, our guns need to be handed in. In addition to the pistols we carry with us, including submachine guns and sniper rifles, we need to return them to the organization after use. Of course, there are some missions that cannot be brought back with guns. At this time, you need to use a bomb equipped with a surveillance system issued by the organization. The person on the mission must use this bomb to detonate his sniper rifle, otherwise the member will be treated as a defector from the organization.

I took the gun out of the box and put the necklace back on, then I stuffed most of the gold bars I had just found back into the box.

Half an hour later, a Ferrari stopped in front of me.

"Bing, your task was quite efficient. It only took one night." Vermouth smiled at me in the car.

"Hehe, because I'm excellent." I bared my little white teeth and smiled at Vermouth while moving the boxes into the car.

"Bing, it seems I need to assign you the task of learning how to drive a car." As she spoke, Vermouth started the car.

"Tsk~~ Sister Bei, you're such a fool. You just picked me up." I squinted my eyes and looked at Vermouth angrily. "Besides, I brought you a gift."

"Hehe. Bing. You're so cute when you're angry." While driving, Vermouth reached out and pinched my cheek.

"But, driving is a necessary subject. Not just driving. Motorcycles, helicopters, fighter jets, speedboats. You have to learn all of these."

"Hey eh? There are so many more. No wonder they said it takes eight years of training."

"Well... don't be unsatisfied. You have only been here for two years, and you have already learned things that others take five years to learn. You should be content." Vermouth smiled helplessly.

"By the way, what's in that box?" Vermouth wondered. "I remember you didn't bring a box with you before you left. Is this your gift to me?"

"Well. This is the interest collected from the target's family. As the saying goes, we split it in half when we meet. These are for Sister Bei." As I said that, I opened the box. The golden color inside surprised Vermouth.

"This is... hehe, hahahaha, I'm talking about Bing. You wouldn't have robbed that target, right?" Vermouth laughed so hard that her body shook.

"Hehe, anyway, if I don't take it, it's a bargain for Nihong, so I might as well spend it on myself." I curled my lips. "I estimate that these gold bars are worth about 200 million yen, right? Sister Bei, this big gift is for you.

"Haha, well, thank you for the gift, Bing. But Sister Bei doesn't lack money. I'd better leave it for you to buy delicious food. Besides, don't you have a girlfriend to support? You will be more short of money than Sister Bei."

"Hey, Sister Bei, please stop teasing me like that." I squinted my eyes and looked at her. She smiled happily and pinched my face. "And I just said that we'll split it in half when we meet, so half of the gold bars in this box belong to you, Sister Bei. I'll be angry if you don't accept it."

"Okay. Since you said so, Sister Bei will be polite." With Vermouth's sweet laughter, the car slowly drove into the organization's garage. "We're here. Sister Bei will take these gold bars to the organization to exchange them for money and then transfer half of them to your card." Vermouth got out of the car and picked up the box on the back seat.

"By the way, Sister Bei, I have another gift for you." I also got out of the car and walked side by side with Vermouth.

"Eh? There's another gift? What is it this time?" Vermouth looked at me playfully.

"Hehe. Sister Bei, squat down and close your eyes." I laughed. Vermouth squatted down without any doubt and closed her eyes slightly. She looked really beautiful. However, this action showed that Vermouth fully trusted me. If someone else asked her to do this, she would have pointed the gun at the forehead of that person.

He put his arms around Vermouth's neck and hugged her gently. "Hehe, Sister Bei, you smell so good~"

"Eh?" Vermouth opened her eyes, looked at me smiling in front of her and said coquettishly. "You annoying brat. This hug is the gift you mentioned..." Before she finished speaking, she felt a chill on her chest. When she looked down, she saw a pale yellow diamond necklace shining on her chest.

"This is..." Vermouth was so surprised that she was speechless.

"Hehe, I wish my sister Bei will be as young and beautiful as a diamond forever."

"Forever...young?" There was a hint of sadness in Vermouth's eyes.

"Sister Bei, don't you like this gift?" I asked, looking at Vermouth who looked a little sad.

"Ah. No. I like it very much. Thank you, Bing." Vermouth smiled at me gently and held me in her arms again.

"Thank you, Bing. I like this gift very much."

"Sister Bei..."

"Be good, go back first. I'll replace these things and transfer the money to you." Vermouth returned to her original state and pointed to the box in her hand.

"Hmm..." I responded softly, without asking any more questions, and left. Maybe, I will know everything after a while.

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

"I'm back." I called out lazily. "Welcome back, Bing~" The voice was very sweet. It didn't sound like Jingliu's. Is it Ling? I walked into the bedroom. The scene in front of me made me slightly stunned.

"Ah. Welcome back, Brother Bing." Taiyi and Mary greeted me at the same time.

"Welcome back. Bing." Jingliu's gentle voice with a hint of happiness sounded on the bed.

"I didn't expect you to come back." This voice is Shiho.

Oh my God, everyone I knew was in my bedroom early in the morning.

"Well, everyone is here." I looked at the people in the room awkwardly. "Well, why are you all gathered here so early?"

"Hehe. Actually, it's like this." Ling explained to me with a sweet smile.

This way... That way... Then...

"So, it was you who asked Jingliu to text me like that?" I squinted my eyes and looked at Ling.

"Yeah. We just want to see how good you are to Sister Jingliu. Don't be angry. Bing." Ling held my arm and kept rubbing it and acting coquettishly.

"Um... I'm talking to you guys..." I said helplessly, holding my forehead.

It turns out that the whole thing was a bet. This is how it happened...

Go forward a few hours. Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door. Jingliu, feeling weak from the pain, opened her eyes blearily. She looked at the alarm clock and saw it was already six in the morning. She hurried to open the door. Standing in front of her were Ling and the other three.

"Oh, Ling. Good morning. Is there anything wrong?" Jingliu said weakly.

"Hehe. Good morning, Sister Jingliu," Ling said with a sweet smile. "Bing asked us to take care of you, so we came to see you."

"Is that so? Haha, thank you." Jingliu smiled happily. "Come in and sit down."

In this way, Jingliu lay on the bed while Ling and the others were busy. Ling and the others were responsible for serving tea and water, feeding medicine, and finally they started to clean the room.

"Um... Ling, there's no need to be like this. It's okay if the room isn't cleaned for a day or two." Jingliu sat on the bed and looked at the three busy figures with a helpless smile.

"It's okay. Bing will definitely be angry if I don't take good care of you." Ling smiled while wearing a small paper hat and holding a vacuum cleaner.

"Haha. Thank you."

"It's okay. This is what we should do." It was Mary who spoke.

"That's what I mean. So Sister Jingliu, you should just have a good rest." The speaker was Taiyi.

dong dong dong.

"Eh? Is Bing back? I'll go open the door." Ling ran out excitedly. Jingliu was thinking on the bed. "Bing said she would be back in three days. So the person knocking on the door now... It's bad."

Jingliu wanted to stand up and stop Ling, but it was too late. He opened the door and saw a girl with ice-blue eyes and short brown hair standing at the door.

"Ling? You're here too?" Shiho said in surprise.

"Eh? It's Bing's woman. Come in." Ling narrowed her eyes and let Shiho in.

Phew... It seems that the situation is not that bad. Jingliu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the sound at the door. He lay down again and leaned on the pillow.

"Sister Shizuka, how are you feeling?" Shiho walked into the bedroom and asked Shizuka who was lying on the bed.

"Yeah, I'm much better now. Thank you, Shiho." Shizuru smiled sweetly. "Shiho, did Bing ask you to come see me, too?"

"Yes. That guy asked me to take care of Sister Jingliu, but I didn't expect Ling and the others to come too." Shiho said as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"Hey, hey...what do you mean you didn't expect it? We were all there when Bing gave the instructions." Ling gestured at Shiho with the vacuum cleaner.

"Eh? Yeah, sorry. By the way, Ling. What are you doing?"

"Cleaning the room. Can't you see?"

"Well... I'll help clean up, too."

"No need. Just stay with Sister Jingliu. The cleaning will be almost done anyway." Ling said as she turned on the vacuum cleaner and started cleaning again.

Shiho shrugged and sat back on the bed. "Sister Shizuru, today is the second day, right?"

"Yeah. It shouldn't hurt so much after today." Jingliu smiled as he sat on the bed.

"Really? That bastard, even though you, Sister Jingliu, were sick, he still ran out to play by himself." Shiho said unscrupulously with her half-moon eyes narrowed.

"Well... don't say that, Shiho." Jingliu hurriedly tried to smooth things over for me. "Bing must have had his reasons for coming back a few days late after going out on a mission. And I don't have anything too big to do anyway, so I'd better not affect his mission." After hearing Jingliu's words, Shiho also sighed helplessly.

"Hey... Sister Jingliu. There's something... I want to ask you." Shiho said a little embarrassedly.

hexieban
"Hehe. Don't worry, little girl. To me, he is just my dearest brother." Jingliu saw through Shiho's thoughts.

"Is it really just a younger brother?" Shiho asked a little embarrassedly. "Did Sister Shizuru never like her?"

"Yeah. Of course I did."

"Eh?"
