Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 157 There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me!

"Haha, well, who knows?"

Conan laughed at Xiaolan's question. After all, Matsuzaki Harumi has repented, so it's better to keep this dark history a secret for her.

"By the way, Xiaolan, you suddenly called me from the front, is there something wrong?"

Looking at Xiaolan who seemed to be lost in thought in front of him, Conan suddenly remembered something and asked with some confusion.

"Ah, well, no, I was just worried that something might happen to you, so I followed you. Really, there's no other reason!"

Hearing Conan's question, Xiaolan's face was filled with embarrassment. Why did she call Conan? Is there a reason she can explain?

In front of the two parties, I openly said: "I was worried that you would be kidnapped by a man, so I followed you?"

Is this something that can be said? She has no dignity!

Seeing that Xiaolan was hesitant and didn't want to say anything, Conan didn't continue to ask, but just followed her excuse and continued:

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaolan, I'm fine now. Now that the matter has been resolved, let's go back! Who knows, Uncle Maori and the others might be waiting anxiously!"

Seeing that Conan was very considerate and did not continue to ask questions, Xiaolan also looked at him gratefully and nodded:

"Well, let's go back! Doctor Chengshi, do you want to come with us?"

"You guys go back first, I'll take care of the accommodation first."

Cheng Shi smiled and shook his head. After saying goodbye to the two of them, he walked towards the hotel front desk.

Seeing Cheng Shi didn't follow, Xiao Lan was slightly relieved. It couldn't be helped. Who had let her think the wrong thing just now? Now, every time she saw Cheng Shi, she couldn't help but imagine a series of scenes that she couldn't describe.

Now that Chengshi had separated from them, she could relax a little:

"In that case, Conan, let's go back too."

"Ok!"

As they spoke, the two of them walked towards the hotel, one in front and one behind.

When they arrived at the hotel, Matsuzaki Harumi didn't seem to be back yet. Perhaps she had gone to clean the sea snake in her backpack. However, Xiaolan noticed that her mother seemed to be in a good mood.

"Eh? Mom, what happened between you and Dad? Why do I feel like you seem to be in a good mood?"

Looking at the faint smile on Hime Eri's lips, Xiaolan was confused.

"Humph, nothing much. I just finally realized that some people aren't so hopeless after all."

Playing with the cup in his hand, Yingli had a faint smile on his face.

Although Xiaolan didn't notice it, Conan did. He didn't know when the wedding ring had quietly appeared on her hand.

Seeing this, Conan looked at Maori in surprise. Unexpectedly, Maori is quite good at taking advantage of opportunities. After not seeing him for such a while, he returned the ring to Hime Eri?

After Yingli's constant display, Xiaolan finally noticed the ring on her hand. So, she looked at Maori Kogoro with surprise:

"I see, Dad went to the beach specifically to help Mom find a ring! He's really a dad."

Listening to Xiaolan's words, Hime Eri turned her head away in embarrassment. To be honest, she didn't expect that Maori actually noticed the disappearance of her ring and could help her find it back.

You know, he didn't know where he was! It must have taken a lot of effort for him to find the ring.

"Thanks..."

Just as Hibiki was about to apologize to Mori, she was interrupted by Mori with a cold face:

"Who went out of their way to help her find the ring?! If I hadn't been struck by something on the beach, who would have found this piece of crap?! You're such a loser!!"

"..."

After hearing what Maori said, the shy blush on Hime Eri's face instantly disappeared, and her heart, which had been pounding wildly, calmed down. She looked at the mute man in front of her with a cold face:

"Humph, I didn't ask you to help me find it."

Seeing the two of them start to argue again, Conan showed a dead fish eye:

"I've said it so many times, a man who is arrogant has no future!"

However, although the two were still bickering, from the slightly raised corners of Hime Eri's mouth, it can be seen that she seemed to be in a good mood. It seems that Maori's consideration did have some effect.

Xiaolan, who was standing by, also noticed this. Looking at the two people who were openly arguing, a smile appeared in her eyes. It seemed that Mom would be able to go soon.

"Huh, I'm back~"

While they were talking, Harumi came back panting. Looking at Takako who was still in the sea, she hesitated for a moment, as if she was wondering whether to continue with her plan.

Although she has given up the idea of ​​taking action after Cheng Shi's persuasion, if she continues with her plan, wouldn't it be unfair to Yayan?

While she was thinking, the other three people also started communicating:

"By the way, Matsuzaki, where's your wife? Why haven't I seen her?"

Ito, who had just returned from the sea, asked with some confusion.

Seeing this, Harumi no longer hesitated and pointed at the sea and said:

"Look, isn't Guihezi right there?"

As she spoke, she waved towards the sea.

After receiving Harumi's signal, Takahazuko pretended to be drowning.

"Takahatako!"

Seeing this, Matsuzaki Masahiko rushed directly into the sea. However, the silent Maeda Satoshi reacted faster than him and rushed directly into the sea and swam towards Toda Takako.

His reaction was so quick that Conan was stunned for a moment:

"I didn't expect that even though he didn't continue to develop in karate, Maeda Satoshi's physical strength and reaction speed are still so strong! It seems that Xiaolan can't compare to him at all!"

Having said that, Conan had no intention of turning around and learning karate from Maeda Satoshi. After all, it didn't matter who he learned from, so why choose this man?

It feels better to practice karate with the sweet and soft Xiaolan!

"Besides, with Maeda Satoshi here, it seems I don't even need to persuade Matsuzaki Harumi before, her plan will fail immediately!"

Looking at Maeda Satoshi who rescued Toda Takako before anyone else could react, Conan took a sip of his drink and a smile appeared on his face.

[Congratulations, your skill proficiency in the 'Sleeping Pill Resistance' skill has increased]

"???"

Looking at the familiar system panel that popped up in front of him, Conan slowly typed a question mark.
