I only have family in my heart

After Mori Owai took over the port mafia, he promoted several quasi-cadres, and Lan Tang was one of them.

He has black wavy long curly hair, is pale and thin, always wears thick cotton clothes and has fluffy ear protectors, and is very afraid of the cold.

He was originally a tramp, but after being discovered with supernatural powers, he was absorbed into the port mafia when the former leader was alive.But it has always been a low-level staff until Mori Ogai came to power.

People secretly speculated that this weak-looking young man might be the first among the quasi-cadres to pass the test and become one of the five major cadres.

And he is less than 30 years old this year. If you don't consider that the mafia is a hard-to-see profession, at this age and this annual income, you can be called young and promising.

Now, this quasi-cadre, who was highly regarded by Mori Ogai, was walking in the sphere of influence of Gao Tian's group.

He stopped at the door of a restaurant, and then opened the door to enter. Immediately, a waiter stepped forward with a smile and led him to the box on the second floor.

The well-trained waiter opened the door for Lan Tang, and after he walked into the box, the well-trained waiter behind him closed the door without making a sound and left.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl in the room raised her head and showed a polite and decent smile.

I saw that the girl who met with the young man alone had short light blond hair, blue-green eyes, and a few obvious scars on her fair and upright face.

She was wearing a black shirt and a smart suit jacket. Under the long skirt, there was a slender ankle and a calf in black stockings.

She is obviously only a 19-year-old girl, but she dresses up with a calm demeanor that belongs to a high-ranking person.

She sat up straight, closed the book in her hand, and put it aside.

Lan Tang had heard that the leader of Gao Tian's group seemed to like reading books very much.

"Hello, Mr. Lan Tang." The girl stood up and welcomed her: "It's our first meeting, I'm Misaki Ichinomiya."

If someone from the port mafia saw this quasi-cadre meeting with the leader of Gao Tian's group in private, he would be judged as a "betrayer" and hunted down.Once caught, they will probably be thrown directly to the interrogation team for torture.

However, Lan Tang had to come.

Because when he came home last night, he found a letter that was quietly sent by someone, and placed on the living room carpet.

The seal of the envelope was sealed with wax, and the crest of the Ichinomiya family was printed on it.

After opening the letter, there was only one name written on it: "Verlaine."

The signature is the address of the restaurant and a time.

So he came at this time.

This might be a trap, but it was the only clue he got about his best friend after recovering his memory. Even if it was a trap, he didn't want to let it go.

"Master Ichinomiya."

Lan Tang approached slowly, and then stopped at a safe distance.He found out that Misaki Ichinomiya had no guards.

According to the information, in the past, she was always inseparable from her fiancé Zhongyuan Zhongya. If that young man was around, there would be no problem without guards.

But this time, Lan Tang didn't notice the presence of other people.

He asked directly, "Are you alone?"

Is she so confident?Think he won't hurt her?Or is she confident in her abilities and thinks she can control him?Or... She really has her hands in her hands?

Among her subordinates, Lan Tang had also heard of the name of "Yin Beast" Edogawa Ranpo.

It is said that the boy's ability may be "interpreting everything". As long as he is caught by those emerald green eyes, all the secrets in the world will be revealed.

The division of cadres in the Gao Tian Group is different from that of the Port Mafia.Although there are also five major cadres, each cadre has its own unique title, such as military commander, spy chief, family consultant, etc., and the port mafia is collectively called cadres.It's just that each cadre is in charge of different businesses.

Many people don't understand, why is Edogawa Ranpo such an ability not a spy chief, but a family consultant?So how terrifying should the intelligence gathering capabilities of the spy chief of Gao Tian's group be?

Or, the appointment of the cadres of the Gao Tian group, the spy chief is not based on the ability to collect intelligence?

For a moment, Lan Tang thought a lot, this is the professionalism of former spy personnel.

"Ah, do you call me 'adult'? But Misaki Ichinomiya mentioned this first: "Then how did Mr. Lantang call Mr. Mori?" "

"Master Mori, or Your Highness Mori."

"Your Highness? Honorific language is really a great subject." Misaki Ichinomiya said, "That's right, I only have one person, because Mr. Lan Tang also came alone. What's more, this is still the territory of the Gaotian group, so this It's only fair. Please sit down..."

Lan Tang waited for her to take a seat first, and then sat opposite her.

Ichinomiya Misaki reassured: "It's difficult for Mr. Lantang to come here, right? If someone sees it, it may cause trouble for Mr. Lantang. However, if I go to the port mafia, there may be more commotion. I'm sorry, I have to let Mr. Lantang accommodate my willfulness. Please rest assured, the area around here has been cleared."

Lan Tang never put too much trust in this kind of guarantee.He was noncommittal, but asked, "What does Master Yigong know?"

Misaki Ichinomiya smiled and said: "I know a lot of things, and I don't know a lot of things, what does Mr. Lan Tang want me to say?"

"That letter, about Verlaine."

"That letter made it very clear. I know Verlaine. As for the rest—that's what the next letter should be about."

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Lan Tang looks very vigilant." Misaki Ichinomiya said gently: "It doesn't have to be like this, but I heard that Mr. Lan Tang is young and promising, so I want to get close."

The pale and slender young man showed no superfluous expressions. "Thank you."

He was clearly wrapped up all over his body, while the girl across from him was only wearing a long shirt, skirt and suit jacket, but he seemed to be extremely cold. Looking carefully, he could find that he was shivering.

Misaki Ichinomiya turned around and turned on the air conditioner.

"I heard that Mr. Lantang joined the port mafia when he was the former leader, but he was not promoted to a quasi-cadre until after Mr. Mori came to power?"

"Yes..." Lan Tang still stiffened his shoulders, lowered his cold eyes, "Master Sen is kind to me."

"Grateful? Then, how far do you have to go to be considered as a complete repayment?"

"Uh..." Misaki Ichinomiya didn't care when Lan Tang fell silent, she picked up the menu on the table and asked, "Do you want to eat something, Mr. Lan Tang?"

"I don't have anything in particular to eat."

"Is there anything you like or don't like?"

"No, please worry about it."

"Don't worry, this is a necessary understanding, because I want to be friends with Mr. Lantang."

Lan Tang didn't understand what she meant.

He looked at her, was he probing, threatening, or intimidating?

She knows "Verlaine", does it mean that Misaki Ichinomiya has already found out his origin?

That being the case, did she also find out that the former leader of the port mafia and Huangba vomited it was him?

Has the "Yin Beast" Edogawa Ranpo already set his sights on him?Or was it the mysterious spy chief of Gao Tian's group who made the move?

Lantang is quite sure that even Mori Ogai is kept in the dark by him.

The efficiency of the Gaotian group seems to be much higher than that of the port mafia.Misaki Ichinomiya's method is really powerful. It is said that the Supernatural Secret Service Division originally planned to ban Gao Tian's group. I don't know what she did, but she reversed the government's opinion at once, and instead brought back a permit for the establishment of supernatural powers.

Mori Ogai sighed and sighed every day, and said some words of envy that seemed true or false: "Ah, I really envy Miss Ichinomiya. She is so valued at such a young age. I am already a bad old man, and I can't keep up with the times!"

"Sure enough, everyone prefers young and energetic girl leaders, right? Gao Tian's group is full of talents, why can't I get all the cadres right now?"

Lan Tang didn't know how to answer the conversation at this time, but it didn't matter, Osamu Dazai would help him respond.

"That's right, that's right, you must be more motivated to work under a gentle big sister than under a middle-aged boring uncle!"

"Wow - Dazai-kun is too much!"

Lan Tang: Maybe this is the master-student relationship in the island country.I don't understand.

But he wouldn't tell Misaki Ichinomiya about these things, it was about the port mafia leader.

Even if it's an insignificant matter, it's considered a leak of secrets, and he doesn't intend to give Misaki Ichinomiya another handle.

Lantang silently watched Misaki Ichinomiya finish ordering. After confirming for him, she called a waiter, confirmed the menu, and then said to him: "The food in this restaurant is delicious. If Mr. Lantang can't help but want to If you want to do something to me, how about waiting until you finish eating?"

Her ability is called "Ghost Army".Logically speaking, Lan Tang's ability of "manipulating the subspace" is enough to deal with it, but her unfathomable attitude makes Lan Tang feel jealous.

He didn't activate his ability, and the two just finished their meal.

After eating, Misaki Ichinomiya seemed very happy.

"Great, Mr. Lantang didn't attack me, does it mean that we have established a certain trust?"

"Uh..." Nope.He thought, is trust such an easy thing to build?

He didn't speak, and Misaki Ichinomiya didn't care, she continued to ask: "How is it? Is the food to your liking?"

"fine……"

"Hmm... It seems that Mr. Lan Tang doesn't particularly like the taste of this store. Well, let's try another one next time."

"next time?"

"That's right. The first time we met was to invite you to dinner. After eating together, even if you are not friends, you can still be regarded as acquaintances, right? Is there any place you want to go when you meet Mr. Lantang next time?"

Lan Tang stood up silently. He stared at her, his eyes gradually turned cold, but the girl was not afraid, and her expression was still peaceful.

They just looked at each other, but the atmosphere in the air gradually became tense.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in..." Misaki Ichinomiya said.

Zhong Yuanzhong also walked in, he glanced at Lan Tang, and responded with strong hostility to the seemingly indistinct murderous aura exuding from him.

"Ah, Chuya came to pick me up." Misaki Ichinomiya stood up as if nothing had happened, and nodded goodbye to Lan Tang with a slanted eyebrow: "Then Mr. Lan Tang, let's end today's meeting. Thank you very much for coming, I Had a great time.”

When she was about to leave, she looked back at him again: "Please rest assured, I will not tell anyone about you and Verlaine."

Lan Tang didn't know what she wanted to do.He watched her leave under the guard of Nakahara Chuya with serious eyes, and after waiting for three days, he found that Mori Ogai did not attack him, and Misaki Ichinomiya seemed to have kept his promise.

Then three days later, he received the same letter.

This time it read:

"You urged Verlaine to leave and asked him what he was hesitating about. Verlaine broke the glass and pulled Zhongya out."

Lan Tang slightly widened his eyes.

With such details, it was as if she was there at the time, but that was absolutely impossible.

That being the case, either another person involved, Verlaine told her personally, or she has some top-secret information——

And this time, the address she left behind was a certain bookstore.

……

[You met Lan Tang, you noticed that he was silent, you tried to pick a topic to impress him on you...]
