HCB Chapter 188 After the Destruction
Chapter 188 After the Destruction
After leaving the hospital, Vermouth felt her vision was a little blurry. She wiped the snow and blood from her eyelashes and leaned against Harley for a while.
After a long time, she took out her cell phone and made a call.
No one answered the phone.
Vermouth slowly put down her phone and looked in the direction she came from.
Hesitantly, she called Ireland, Gin, and everyone else she could think of.
When the last person she contacted still didn't answer, she put down her phone in confusion and rode her Harley.
Vermouth faced the wind. The early morning wind was a little cold and gave her a headache.
The road is long and there is no end in sight, just like her life.
She returned to her safe house, treated her wounds briefly, and then received an injection of strong medicine.
She could no longer stay in Neon. Various signs indicated that something had happened to the organization. As for her biological father, she did not want to confirm the situation.
Life or death has nothing to do with her.
Vermouth called her subordinates in the US branch, and this time the call was connected.
She wanted the other party to cut off all external contacts, abandon the current base and evacuate immediately.
Fortunately, after the last scuffle with the zoo, Vermouth took the opportunity to promote many of her own people. There is no need to worry that the other party will disobey her.
This is a good time to leave the organization. If not now, when?
Vermouth made up her mind, packed her things and headed for the airport.

Afterwards, the action group joined forces with the Grey Water Society to launch a clearing operation while the organization's experimental site had lost contact with the headquarters and was leaderless.
It caught them off guard.
During this time, Karasuma Shin, the chairman of Karasuma Group, integrated forces in the name of Karasuma Renya's successor and wanted to take over the experiment, but found that an unknown force had been destroying the experimental sites everywhere.
At the same time, the police investigated the senior official who was reported to have embezzled an entire golden villa, and followed the clues to the Karasuma Group. The senior police officers who had previously cooperated with Karasuma Renye withdrew in time and did not care.
The top floor of Karasuma Group.
Upon learning that the senior public security officials had refused to contact him, Karasuma Nobuyuki was so angry that he pushed all the documents on the table away. The subordinates standing opposite him lowered their heads and dared not look at him.
"What else did he say?" The man's eyes were vicious and ferocious.
The subordinate gritted his teeth and said bravely: "He said he would pretend he didn't know what happened before and let us take care of ourselves."
"I don't know whether I should be so grateful to him for his great kindness!" Karasuma Nobuyuki laughed. He turned his back and looked at the dark cloud sky outside the window.
"How are the two things I asked you to investigate?"
"We have results." The subordinate said, "The bribery of the golden villa was not discovered by the police, but was reported to the Special Investigation Department by someone."
"Report?" Karasuma Nobuyuki turned back in surprise, thinking, "Go on."
"Our insider hasn't found the informant." After the subordinate said this, he looked up at Karasuma Nobuyuki nervously, and when he saw that the other party didn't react, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Regarding the force that has been destroying the experimental site, it is initially suspected to be from a force in the United States."
Karasuma Shin took a deep breath, "Velmode still hasn't been found?"
Since the incident two weeks ago, the top leaders of the organization have disappeared, no one is seen alive or dead. But only Vermouth can be sure of defection, and she clearly rejected Karasuma Shin's request that she bring the members of the US branch back to Neon Volunteer.
The subordinate said in embarrassment: "We don't have enough people to go to the United States now."
"How many people are available now?" Karasuma Nobuyuki asked forbearingly.
"Less than... half. Recently, we can't contact more and more members. We don't know whether they have escaped or met with accidents."
"Damn it." Karasuma Nobuyuki couldn't help cursing. He weighed the pros and cons for a moment and said, "Integrate all the available manpower and incorporate them into the guards of the Karasuma family. Abandon the rest."
They originally wanted to take over the experiment that broke the common sense and use it as a bargaining chip to deal with certain senior government officials. However, judging from the current situation, both the materials and the experiment are a hot potato for the Karasuma Group, just like a disabled gecko's tail, which should be discarded early.
Anyway, he was not interested in eternal life. If it were not for the support of Karasuma Renya to become the chairman, he would not want to get involved at all.
"I understand, I'll do it right away."

public security
Since his undercover identity was exposed and he returned to the public security department, Toru Amuro changed back to his real name, Rei Furuya.
At this moment, he was flipping through the investigation report in his hand with a serious face.
His boss, Takeshi Sawada, looked worried. Rei Furuya hadn't had a good rest for two weeks in a row.
Two weeks ago, under the guidance of Kudo Yusaku, the Public Security Bureau concealed its identity and searched for members of the organization through the intelligence known to "Bourbon", and also captured a key member code-named "Irish".
Just as they were planning to exchange Yuya Kazami with the organization the next day, Takeshi Sawada received an email.
It said that the organization was plotting to gather and also marked the specific location.
Sawada Takeshi did not dare to delay and reported it immediately. The order given by his superior was to send someone to stake out this location.
But in this case, the public security department is short of manpower and can only draw personnel from the team that rescues Yuya Kazami. Because this operation requires the evacuation of the people, the identity of the public security department is at risk of being exposed. Once the organization knows about it, Yuya Kazami will be in danger.
Rei Furuya thought the email was unreliable.
However, senior public security officials believed that in the absence of intelligence, everything possible should be tried, and ordered half of the rescue team to ambush, while the other half was to be ready to provide support at any time.
This decision means that Yuya Kazami may be abandoned at any time.
Rei Furuya understood what this decision meant.
Even if he is alone, he must rescue Fengjian.
Takeshi Sawada felt ashamed and did not give any orders to Rei Furuya, allowing him to act freely.
As expected and unexpected, the information sent by the mysterious man was true, and the team that was going to rescue Yuya Kazami all went to the gathering place of the organization under his command.
The fight continued until dawn.
At that time, Furiya Rei had a bad premonition, and sure enough, when the agreed time came, no one showed up at the exchange location.
Yuya Kazami's whereabouts are unknown, but everyone knows the meaning of this unknown.
From that day on, Furuya Rei didn't say a word and buried his head in organizing intelligence. The horrifying interrogations of Ireland and other captured members of the organization caused other public security officials to whisper about it, and even spread bad rumors in private.
Sawada Takeshi saw it all and heard it all. He knew he was sorry for Furuya Rei and Kazami Yuya, but the choice was like this and there would always be sacrifices.
The top management judged that Yuya Kazami was more important than destroying the organization, and the balance began to tip.
"Furuya." Takeshi Sawada knocked on the table, trying to get the man's attention.
The blond man paused while writing, without even raising his head: “If you have something to say, please tell me quickly.”
"…Would you like to go out for a walk? It would be a mess if you just keep investigating."
"No need." Furiya Ling rejected coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Okay." Sawada Takeshi compromised and moved a chair to sit across the table. "The FBI contacted us and said that the investigator who came to carry out the mission is missing."
Furuya Rei raised his head.
"You know about the big al-Qaeda bombing two weeks ago? A lot of bodies were found in it."
The location has been flown to Ireland for confirmation.
"There are FBI people inside." Furiya Ling suddenly sneered: "They fought with the organization privately without the permission of the public security, and died in the explosion because they were outskilled. Now they want to hold us accountable?"
Sawada Takeshi choked up, because this sentence was indeed correct, but from a certain relationship point of view they had to give an explanation.
"Their, uh, an investigator named James has contacted us through official channels and wants to discuss the organization with us."
Sawada Takeshi said: "If we agree to cooperate and share information, the investigators who died in Neon will..."
"Let bygones be bygones?" Fōtani Rei clenched the pen in his hand and looked at his boss sarcastically.
Sawada Takeshi looked back silently and nodded solemnly: "Furuya, this is very important to us."
"I understand." Without saying anything more, Rei Furuya replied expressionlessly, "Where shall we meet?"
"Haido Hospital, do you still remember the abducted Kudo Shinichi? He has woken up. James said he is an important witness and invited us to meet there."
