Chapter 151 The Outbreak of Xilu
"Good evening, Father. May I have a moment of your time this time?"
Bai Yexiu rose gracefully, placed his hand on his chest in a gesture of respect, and then sat back down in the chief's seat like a true organization boss.
The boss didn't say anything.
The position of chief of the late-night chat is one that even the second-in-command, Rum, wouldn't dare to sit in.
The significance of this is obvious, and some people have shown a hint of apprehension.
After all, they have been proposing to abolish this adopted son for many years, but the Boss has not yet expressed his opinion and has been vague. Now that this adopted son has shown his talent, it will be much more difficult to get rid of him.
Some high-ranking members have taken advantage of the organization to do things that are explicitly prohibited by the organization. It is precisely because the boss can't control them that they are so arrogant.
In the eyes of the higher-ups, the power this adopted son has now acquired seems to be greater than that of ordinary codename members, even comparable to the second-in-command, and he is also the boss's henchman, able to control them at any time... This poses a much greater threat to them.
The Boss's previous adopted sons, who hadn't yet shown their true potential, were sacrificed with their help. Now, the Boss's seventh child is more capable and more dangerous than the previous ones, which makes them feel uneasy.
Although their relationship with the boss is largely cooperative, breaking the agreement would come at a huge cost. If they did, they wouldn't get a share of the profits once the organization's drug was developed, and they would also lose their money, status, and power…
Scarman looked at the scene before him, hesitated to speak, and finally sat down silently.
“I’ve recently discovered some issues. For example, some equipment from the information and research groups has gone missing without explanation, and their group leaders have already complained to me.” Bai Yexiu scrutinized everyone present with a blank expression, his tone growing increasingly cold.
A man spoke first: "We are already handling this matter, so there's no need to trouble yourself..."
"Shut up! Did I tell you to speak?"
The penetrating, deep voice echoed throughout the venue, startling the man so much that he froze in place, unsure how to react.
The others who were about to chime in also realized the situation was turning sour and obediently shut their mouths.
"deal with?"
Bai Yexiu looked at the man with a mocking expression: "I've investigated everything thoroughly, and you're saying it's still being processed? What do you think I'm here for today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Bai Yexiu chuckled softly, picked up a voice recorder, and pressed the switch. The audio he had recorded on the roof of the Mohu Club factory that day played back clearly.
But it wasn't over yet. Bai Yexiu pressed the switch on another recording pen—the one containing the recording of his interrogation of Huang Mao.
Three names clearly entered everyone's ears...
"what?!"
The white-masked man, clearly identified as Sirus, disregarded his injuries and slammed his fist on the table in anger, then cried out in pain.
Apart from the voice coming from Xilu, no one dared to speak.
"Do either of you have anything else to say?"
Bai Yexiu smiled, secretly observing the gazes of everyone present, and roughly confirmed the number of high-ranking individuals involved in this matter.
“Kundo, the authenticity of these two recordings still needs to be verified. There’s no need to jump to conclusions so quickly. If we wrongly accuse someone, it won’t look good for any of us,” Nozawa Hirokazu said, standing up.
“The recording might be fake,” Xilu retorted, unconvinced.
At this moment, some people also wanted to say something, but Bai Yexiu suddenly flicked a gleaming scalpel from his fingertip and slammed it into the table in front of him with a loud bang.
The knife tip was deeply embedded in the wooden tabletop, attracting everyone's attention.
"What's the rush?" Bai Yexiu lazily drew his sword, his tone listless. "We haven't even revealed who this Apep is yet."
The scene fell silent again.
“Appepp Idra, a senior MI6 officer in charge of intelligence affairs. In reality, Appepp has been privately trading and buying and selling contraband with many people, including some of us here.”
"Nozawa Hirokazu, and Xilu, do you have anything to say?"
Bai Yexiu stood up, placed his hands on the table, and looked down at the two of them.
"Sir, are you just going to let your adopted son slander your business partner?"
Nozawa Hiroichi stood up, a hint of anger on his face, and looked past Bai Yexiu at the screen behind him.
The black shadow on the screen remained motionless, making no move whatsoever.
"Everyone, don't listen to his lies. This is only one side of the story. He just knew we wouldn't be able to get evidence from Apep of Mi6." Xilu also forced himself to stand up despite his injuries and tried to explain to the indifferent crowd around him.
Bai Yexiu laughed upon hearing this.
“I have brought you Apep’s men, and his fate in Mi6.”
Bai Yexiu spoke coldly, then took out a voice recorder from his clothes again and began playing it.
[Mi-6 traitor Apep Idra is suspected of murdering multiple Mi-6 agents, engaging in illicit smuggling, and embezzling headquarters funds to invest in unknown organizations for unexplained projects. His actions are egregious and his dereliction of duty is serious. Even though he is dead, this disciplinary notice must be posted at headquarters as a warning.]
The recording pen captured the voice of the Mi6 Chief of Staff speaking, sounding as if he was drafting a penalty notice.
Many people at the scene showed expressions of shock, because there was another sentence in the recording—even if he was already dead.
Immediately, Bai Yexiu slowly and deliberately untied the silk bow on the gift box.
The bow is a blood-red color, while the gift box is a minimalist gray with intricately designed patterns. At first glance, one might mistake it for a high-end luxury item, but the faint, rotten smell is completely out of place with the packaging.
When the lid was opened, a putrid stench immediately wafted out, causing everyone to frown.
It was a gruesome human head, covered in large patches of lividity, with a grotesque expression and bruises on the skin, but its owner was still recognizable.
"If you two have any further questions, we can discuss them in the interrogation room." Bai Yexiu clapped his hands, and Nitta, the butler, barged in with two men in black. Even Gin smiled and grabbed Nozawa Hiroichi, pulling him up from his seat.
Bai Yexiu didn't expect Gin to not cause trouble for him. He had even thought of countermeasures if Gin did cause trouble for him, let alone the boss's.
However, this time the boss didn't say anything to stop it.
Bai Yexiu felt that he was increasingly unable to understand his thoughts.
Will things really go that smoothly by now?
At this moment, Xilu, who was being restrained by the bodyguards, suddenly let out a wild and mocking laugh, seemingly realizing that he was doomed to die on this trip, and thus became fearless.
Bai Yexiu watched him coldly, not in a hurry to drag him away.
Because at this moment, Sirus is most capable of conveying the information he desires.
"Jun Du, your happiness won't last long! What kind of good person do you think your adoptive father is? You're just his pet!"
