“I”
Lin Xinyi’s expression stiffened:
Sexual harassment? And reporting directly to my Leader?
Damn it, did I guess the relationship between the Original Owner and this woman wrong?
Lin Xinyi felt a slight chill run down his spine, while the man on the other end of the line continued speaking in that voice full of a sense of oppression:
“Lin, tell me what is going on.”
“This Boss…”
Lin Xinyi truly didn't know what to say.
Miss Miyano rested her chest on her hands, leaning lightly against the door frame, a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth.
She was quite happy to appreciate Lin Xinyi’s awkward state while being reprimanded by Gin.
But unfortunately, just as she had judged in advance, Gin on the other end of the line did not pursue this matter too deeply.
Hearing Lin Xinyi stammering and unable to answer, Gin simply dropped the topic and instead lectured in a cold tone:
“Remember, don’t do anything unnecessary.”
“Your job is just to watch over her for me.”
Without waiting for a reply, the “overbearing Leader” in Lin Xinyi’s eyes hung up the phone with cool finality.
Leaving Lin Xinyi standing there Spacing Out with an awkward expression:
My job is to watch over her?
Does this mean…
Lin Xinyi immediately constructed the correct relationship between himself and Shiho Miyano from that simple conversation:
Clearly, this young lady named Shiho Miyano had a significant background and high status within the company; perhaps she was even the daughter of the Boss of the head office.
This would explain the rocket-like Promotion speed for her becoming a Chief Researcher at such a young age.
And his role as the Security Captain—ahem, Safety Director—was primarily not to protect the laboratory, but to ensure the Personal safety of this Iceberg Young Lady.
“No wonder my Salary is so high…”
“It turns out I’m actually a close-protection Bodyguard for this kind of Young Lady.”
“And the Original Owner’s note about the ‘Most Important Person’ actually refers to my work protection target?”
Lin Xinyi was Speechless; he realized he had caused a huge Misunderstanding.
Being called a “sexual harasser” by the Employer…
Would he lose this Work?
Thinking about the 890,000 monthly Salary he hadn't earned yet, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but feel a bit Nervous.
Bang bang bang!
Shiho Miyano lightly knocked on the door, interrupting Lin Xinyi’s thoughts.
But this “Young Lady” didn't fire him just yet.
She just questioned him with a slightly Impatient Tone: “Can we go see my Sister now?”
“Yes.” Lin Xinyi nodded, then stood up.
He got halfway up, but couldn't move further.
He had to leave, but where were they going?
“I didn’t drive here today.”
Lin Xinyi thought for a moment and said this tentatively.
When searching the “Original Owner’s” home, he had found a Toyota Car key, so he knew he owned a car.
But he wasn't familiar with the nearby roads and needed to navigate using a map as he went, so he simply hadn't driven to Work.
“Hm?”
Shiho Miyano Frowned slightly:
It was strange; Lin Xinyi always drove to the Laboratory before.
But eager to meet her Sister, she didn't think too deeply at that moment, only quickly replying:
“Then let’s just walk over.”
“Okay.” Lin Xinyi nodded Without Showing Emotion, secretly letting out a sigh of relief in his heart:
Good, it seems the agreed meeting spot is nearby, and we don't need to drive there.
This way, he could follow behind Shiho Miyano and smoothly reach the destination whose location he Didn't Know At All.
“Then let’s go now.”
Lin Xinyi tried hard to play the role of this personal Bodyguard and agreed to accompany her.
But this Miss Miyano had something else to do: “Wait.”
She looked down at the plain white research uniform she was wearing, as if just realizing she hadn't changed out of this Work uniform:
“Wait for me here.”
“I’ll go back to the Bedroom to change first.”
Saying that, Shiho Miyano turned around directly and left with a brisk walk.
“Bedroom…”
“Does she live at the company?”
Lin Xinyi frowned tightly.
He found this Miss Miyano increasingly Strange:
Despite having a deep background and high status, even arranging for him, her personal Bodyguard, specifically for her at the company.
With such excellent family conditions, she still worked overtime to the point of exhaustion like a regular office worker.
Furthermore, she even lived right at the company, not returning home at all.
This was too Strange.
Could it be…
Based on the existing Clues, Lin Xinyi sensitively Guessed the Truth:
This Miss Miyano must be…
The type of career woman who is naturally passionate about Work?
The “other people” in the motivational quote, “Others have better conditions than you and work even harder,” must refer to someone like her.
“Truly admirable.”
Lin Xinyi exclaimed with great Appreciation:
If the Boss’s daughter is leading the charge with 007 work, what reason do ordinary people have not to work hard?
Young people should learn from her, love their Work and Position, and not Waste a single second.
Thinking of this, estimating that it would take Miss Miyano some time to change, Lin Xinyi immediately sat back down seriously in front of his desk, focusing intently on the computer:
He heard the world record for beginner Minesweeper is 1 second, and he needed to try again.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, next to a Porsche 356A parked on the side of the street.
Gin leaned lightly against his beloved car, his Silver Long Hair beneath the dark brim of his hat fluttering gently in the wind.
The call had ended, but coldness still flickered in his green Pupils.
“Boss.”
Vodka, his loyal Underling, asked with great curiosity:
“Is what Sherry said true?”
“That little brat Lin Xinyi really did that to her?”
“You can’t believe everything that woman says.”
Gin’s Voice was flat, giving away no Emotion.
“So Sherry is framing Lin Xinyi?” Vodka was confused.
“Not necessarily.”
“Sherry wouldn’t report something for no reason…”
“After all, she never likes talking to me.”
“Perhaps Lin Xinyi really did develop this kind of interest in her.”
Gin put down his mobile phone, lit a cigarette, and then slowly spoke amidst the swirling smoke:
“That guy’s thoughts have always been complicated; it’s not impossible for him to do something like that.”
“It’s a pity he was originally a talented person.”
Lin Xinyi was a reserve talent cultivated by The Organization, possessing outstanding ability, exceptional talent, a clean background, and sufficient reliability.
But in recent years, The Organization had been plagued by Rats; Traitors seemed endless, popping up one after another.
As The Organization’s top Killer responsible for Purge the organization, even Gin was getting tired of killing.
Indeed, those people absorbed halfway through couldn't be fully trusted.
On the surface, they all looked like loyal members of The Organization, but dig deeper—
Well, intelligence agencies from various countries were here for a Team building exchange.
In the end, only high-level reserve talents like Lin Xinyi, cultivated personally by The Organization and completely known, could be used safely and reliably without worrying about them being Undercover Agents sent by the Intelligence department.
Therefore, Gin had always Expected the talented Lin Xinyi to grow up, grow to the point where he could obtain a Formal Member codename within The Organization and be recognized as capable to take charge of one's own work.
At that time, he might even choose Lin Xinyi to be his Assistant.
But unfortunately, Lin Xinyi’s Performance had become increasingly disappointing in recent years.
That guy’s mental state was unstable, and his Personality was gradually becoming withdrawn and Strange.
This kind of mental fortitude clearly wasn't worthy of a Formal Member’s status, unable to bear the heavy responsibilities of The Organization, so he could barely qualify as a Security Captain.
And today, he had caused such an unbelievable incident.
Could it be…
That Lin Xinyi’s gradual decline over the years…
Was actually because he spent too much time around Sherry, leading him into the predicament of unrequited love?
Gin found this incredible, but upon careful thought, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible:
Young people spending time together day and night, developing feelings is normal.
Being constantly given the cold shoulder by Sherry, bottling it up until he became Withdrawn, it seemed imaginable that he might lose control and act inappropriately.
Speaking of which, Gin actually didn't care whether Lin Xinyi harassed Sherry today, or how he harassed her.
What he truly cared about was:
“He is just a hound sent to watch over the prey.”
“And if a hound becomes attracted to its own prey…”
“Doesn’t that hound become untrustworthy?”
Gin said this in a Cold tone.
“Oh?”
Vodka raised an eyebrow and asked eagerly:
“Big Brother, should we Kill that kid then?”
“…”
Gin didn't answer, but his attitude was clear:
How could he Kill someone over such a Small matter?
That was a high-level talent The Organization had spent years cultivating, even arranging for him to attend University alongside Shiho Miyano.
To just dispose of him because he wanted to date would be too much of a Waste.
Moreover, Gin vaguely knew that Lin Xinyi was brought into The Organization by that troublesome woman back that year; his background was completely legitimate, not a Grunt that could be easily discarded.
“Observe him further.”
After Pondering for a moment, Gin slowly said in a calm Tone:
“If it’s just having a crush on Sherry, it’s not a big deal.”
“But, if he forgets his duty because of this boring matter…”
“Should we Kill him?”
Vodka eagerly finished the question.
Gin: “…”
There aren't many people in The Organization whose backgrounds are fully known; can you stop thinking only about killing?
It’s precisely because you are so single-minded that I look forward to Lin Xinyi growing up quickly to help!
Gin maintained his cold exterior, and after a period of Silence, finally replied noncommittally: “We’ll see.”
“Understood, Big Brother!”
Vodka nodded seriously, harboring some secret thoughts:
Heh, Lin Xinyi, you probably won't ever get a Promotion.
Wanting to replace me, Vodka, as Big Brother’s Driver—uh, Big Brother’s Partner—
You’re a hundred years too early!
