Chapter 23: The four envelopes

"So Mr. Xin," Yamamoto started the talk by calling out his name.

"Yes?!"

"Can you tell me again, what are the occupations of your parents?"

A smile appeared on Xin's face as he thought they were going to ask him about his parents first then persuade him again about joining the JSDF research department.

All the worries within his heart got cleared, he answered Yamamoto's question with delight, "My mom works as an employee in the Cyber Crime department and my dad works in a small trading company?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I remember." Said Yamamoto and took out an envelope from his coat.

"Here is a gift from me," Yamamoto handed him a big grey colored envelope.

Following Yamamoto, Nen also took out an envelope from his lab coat and handed it over to Xin. The other two also took out one envelope each and handed it over to Xin.

All of a sudden Xin felt like something was wrong and looked towards Yamamoto again. The humble and ploite Yamamoto wasn't their anymore. But instead, he was witnessing a devil with a wide grin and sparkles in his eyes.

Xin turned around and realized Nen and the other two soldiers were making the same face. For a second he was thinking, should he attack them and make them unconscious? But he rejected the idea as he couldn't feel any hostility from them.

Amidst of his thinking, Nen broke the ice and asked him to open his small envelope first.

Xin was in a daze for a while, but after hearing his voice, he snapped out of it and took out Nen's envelope out of the four envelopes.

He tore the it from the top and took out a white folded paper from inside. Judging from outside, he was getting a feeling it was an appointment letter. Xin placed the other envelopes on the teapoy and unfolded the paper in his hands.

Thump!!

His heart stopped beating and jumped up to his throat. Xin folded the paper again and looked towards Nen and Yamamoto with a shocked expression.

"Look, look. Look inside and read out the contents."

Xin again unfolded the paper and started to read it out in a low voice.

Xin's expression darkened. Nen had gifted him his bank account details, with the transaction history attached after that slip. Xin had no idea how in the world he found out about it, and how did he obtain the details? He wouldn't have been shocked if it were someone working in the banking sector, but Nen, he was from a private sector, and getting information about him from a government bank….

Amidst his contemplation, Yamamoto spoke again and asked Xin to open the rest of the envelopes. After opening and reading the first one, he wasn't sure what the other envelopes contained.

Till some time ago he was of the idea that the envelope given to him by Nen contains an appointment letter and the other contains papers like perk, benefits, and insurances. But after reading the paper from the first envelope, he was not sure what those four were up to and what they gifted him in those envelopes?

Since the two soldiers brought by Yamamoto were grinning hard after Nen, he picked up the envelopes gifted by them and tore them at once.

Two folded paper came out from the two envelopes and fell on his lap. Xin placed the envelopes on the teapoy and unfolded the first paper.

Xin again, "…"

He didn't know what to say and how to look at the faces of the two sitting before him.

Yamamoto broke the silence and told the things that he had been wanting to say for some hours.

"Mr. Xin," He shouted in a loud voice.

Xin got startled and replied, "Sir, yes, sir."

"So, what were you telling before? Your mom is a small employee in the Cyber Crime department of a different prefecture."

"And the father works in a small trading company," Nen added from the sidelines.

If it were any other time, Xin would have beaten Nen to death for adding fuels, but now was not the right time to do so. All he wanted to do at that time was to escape that situation.

Xin swallowed the large chunk forming in his mouth and emptied down the bottle that Nen brought some time ago, while he was dying from coughs.

"Mr. Xin, you know, what trouble I underwent yesterday, for this?!"

"No~~" Xin answered in a quivering voice.

"Ha!! How will I know?! I was the one who had to answer all the higher-ups, in one night. Forget about higher-ups, I had to visit two different countries for giving some explanation."

Xin "…"

After reading all those papers containing information about his parents and their biodata, only one question was making chaos in his mind, 'How in the world Yamamoto found out about them? Aren't their identities international top secrets? Then how come someone like Yamamoto got his hands on these papers?'

Now that he had opened the three envelopes, he was getting curious about the contents of the last envelope. The one gifted by Yamamoto.

Out of the four one contained his bank information and biodata, another two contained info and biodata about his parents, 'Then does the fourth one contain information about my family backgrounds? That can't be possible, since mom and dad always hide about it, and haven't told me about it yet.'
