Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 419 Kid, your driving skills are terrible! Are you guys following me?

At this moment, Yukiko was unaware that she was being followed.

After all, she was slightly drunk. Although she was still conscious, she was not as sensitive to being followed, so she had no idea that someone was following her.

Besides, it's still early and there are many cars on the road. Even if someone is following her, she will definitely notice.

"Where would you like to go, sir?" the driver asked.

Upon hearing this, Yukiko said, "Drive ahead first, I'll make a phone call and ask."

"Okay." The driver chuckled, then slowly started the car. "Looks like you've made plans with friends, I wonder where. Looks like it's for a second round of drinks?!"

Taxi drivers who work at night are very sensitive to smells, especially the smell of alcohol.

But that's normal, since it's late at night and most people are drinking for entertainment, so the smell of alcohol is perfectly normal.

Moreover, there are many people like Yukiko, who go out for drinks with their colleagues and then go out for drinks with their best friends. He has seen far too many people like this.

Furthermore, Yukiko also fits very well with the passengers he had met before.

The woman was dressed in professional attire, had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and started making phone calls after getting in the car.
Upon hearing this, Yukiko paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, I was indeed planning to make plans with a friend."

However, she probably wasn't going to have a second round of drinks, but rather was planning to meet up with Kitahara Natsuhiro.

After all, their original plan was to have a few drinks, clarify things, and then sleep it off, which would be the end of it.

perfect!

Although Yukiko's plan was perfect, she did not anticipate what Kitahara Natsuhiro was doing at that moment.

"I see," the driver said. "Then I won't bother you any longer."

He didn't say anything more, but continued driving forward.

At that moment, Yukiko's phone rang, but it was not answered yet.

Because at this very moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro is engaged in a fierce battle.

But at that moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro's phone suddenly rang, and after the phone rang...

"Wait, whose call is it?" Ai Haibara asked, looking at Kitahara Natsuhiro who was about to answer the phone.

Meanwhile, Masami Hirota, who was standing nearby, had fallen asleep due to exhaustion and did not witness this scene.

"It's Yukiko on the phone." Kitahara Natsuyu chuckled, then answered the phone: "Hello, Fumiyo, what's up? Is something the matter?"

He knew perfectly well what Yukiko wanted to say and do, but he pretended not to know, because that made it even more interesting!

At the same time, until Yukiko fully confessed to him, he still addressed her as "Bundai-sō" (literally "literary envoy").

Furthermore, he didn't really want to know what happened to Conan, but Conan's behavior was so obvious that it was hard for him not to know now.

Therefore, he could only passively accept it.

But one thing is certain: he will not help Conan, not even if Yukiko pleads for him.

Of course, Yukiko probably wouldn't plead with Kitahara Natsuhiro for Conan's sake, asking him to help her son.

After all, she hadn't even told her best friend Chris before, only telling her later, but even then, she didn't ask Chris to help investigate.

Chris is a famous American star, as was her late mother, so she has a considerable network of connections.

Investigating things is quite easy.

However, Yukiko knew that letting Chris investigate would put Chris in danger, even death, so she wouldn't let her best friend be in danger for the sake of her son.

Similarly, if Chris isn't allowed to investigate, Kitahara Natsuhiro won't be allowed to help investigate either.

After all, his own son's life is precious, but isn't his friend's life also precious?!

So, Conan, my son, you can only rely on yourself now!
Conan: Damn it, even my mom betrayed me? Will I ever have a chance to turn back into Shinichi Kudo?

Kitahara Natsuhiro: Yes, in ten years you'll be the second Shinichi Kudo!
The second one? I am the original, and I have no desire to be the second one!
"Um...where are you right now?" Yukiko asked, tucking her hair behind her ear and blushing slightly.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu glanced at Ai Haibara in front of him and said with a mischievous grin, "I'm at Ai's house, so what?"

"At Ai's house?" Upon hearing this, Yukiko was taken aback for a moment, and then she heard some strange noises.

She was very familiar with this strange sound, and she had made it herself, so she knew what Kitahara Natsuhiro and Ai were doing.

And is it really just Ai Haibara alone?
That damn Kitahara Natsuhiro, he's up to this again. Is this the time to be answering the phone?

Yukiko harbors a secret thought, constantly stabbing Kitahara Natsuhiro with a needle.

"Hehe." Kitahara Natsuyu chuckled; "Looks like you know, and aren't you cursing me in your heart?"

"And he even used a scarecrow to prick me hard?"

Because Yukiko's thoughts, after he absorbed these emotions, were directly visualized before his eyes.

Therefore, he was well aware of what Yukiko was thinking.

You are such a wicked woman, Yukiko!
Upon hearing this, Yukiko's lips and cheeks twitched involuntarily, and she grabbed her hair, which was being blown by the wind, and tucked it behind her ear.

Because she had drunk quite a bit, she opened the car window while in the taxi. Due to the high speed, a lot of air was coming in, and the wind kept blowing her hair, which made her more and more sober.

Since she was only drinking beer and nothing else, she didn't get any more drunk from the wind; she just became more and more sober.

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Yukiko was immediately shocked and quickly suppressed the little devil in her heart, shaking her head to drive all the distracting thoughts out of her mind.

She succeeded, but she also failed.

After banishing the distracting thoughts from her mind, those strange sounds from the phone call reappeared in her head.

Kitahara Natsuhiro is really good at flirting!
"Fine, if you say no, then no." Kitahara Natsuyu wasn't going to dwell on it any longer. He didn't care if they treated him like a scarecrow and poked him around; he wouldn't mind even if they actually used a woodcutter's knife. He wouldn't die; he was just that willful.

Besides, Yukiko isn't that kind of person.

"What do you want to do by calling me now?" Kitahara Natsuhiro asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yukiko shook her head, began to organize her thoughts, and then said, "Although it's very inconvenient, could you come out for a moment? I have something I want to tell you."

"The matter?" Kitahara Natsuhiro said, "It's about Conan. Actually, I already know!"

There's no need to hide this anymore. Yukiko is already prepared to tell, and Conan has revealed enough flaws that anyone with a little common sense can see through.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri is a person who lacks discernment, and so is Ran.

"So you already knew!?" Yukiko wasn't surprised to hear this; instead, she felt a sense of relief.

She really didn't want to keep it a secret any longer, and now that Kitahara Natsuhiro had told her, she felt much better.

After all, Kitahara Natsuyu trusted her unconditionally and helped her when she was most helpless, so she felt bad about hiding it from Kitahara Natsuyu.

Things are much better now.

“I know,” Kitahara Natsuyu said. “I spend every day with Conan, it’s hard not to know. After all, Conan is completely different from ordinary children. He’s too smart, even unbelievably smart.”

"Moreover, much of the knowledge is not something that elementary school students or college students would know, but he knows it perfectly well, so it's impossible for him not to know it."

"However, I didn't expose Conan because that kid is the kind of person who takes advantage of any opportunity. If I knew, he would definitely make me investigate his affairs in order to help him, which would be too much trouble. I don't care, so I'll just pretend nothing happened!"

He didn't hide anything from Yukiko; he simply didn't want to work for Conan.

Conan can work for him!

But it's not okay to have him work for Conan. Of course, he can do things that are easy to do, but it's not acceptable to have him do troublesome things that might affect other people!
"Is it really okay for you to just blurt everything out like that?" Yukiko couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, glancing at the driver.

The driver's expression didn't change much, and he continued driving.

Since Yukiko wasn't on speakerphone and the car window was open, allowing wind to blow in, no one else could hear what was happening on the phone.

What's more, this driver was quite considerate; he actually put on headphones, apparently to avoid disturbing her phone call. He really put his passenger first.

“What’s wrong with that?” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “We know each other inside and out, so what is there to hide? Besides, I also have something I want to tell you.”

"Do you also have secrets you're hiding from me?" Yukiko asked.

“It’s kind of a secret,” Kitahara Natsuyu paused, then said, “And you have some connection to Conan. I found out by accident, but it’s quite dangerous, so I haven’t told anyone.”

However, he did not intend to tell Yukiko that he was half-human and half-ghost, Gengar, because there was no need for such a thing.

However, he planned to tell Yukiko about his identity as her neighbor and the person downstairs, as a way of exchanging secrets.

Given Yukiko's intelligence, she certainly wouldn't tell Conan about this.

Because no one knows a child better than their mother, Yukiko knows what Conan is like. If she knew even a little bit about the Black Organization, she would continue to follow him regardless of what others thought.

Continuing to pursue them like this is very dangerous; in the end, they might all be killed, and the existence of the Black Organization would still not be fully exposed.

"You don't know those things, do you?!" Yukiko exclaimed, her eyes wide.

Kitahara Natsuhiro actually knows Conan's secret, and even knows who is behind Conan's secret.

Of course, many people already know Conan's secret, so one more like Kitahara Natsuhiro won't make a difference.

“I know a little bit, but it’s hard to find them because others are looking too,” Kitahara Natsuyu said. “Alright, we’ll talk about the rest later. I’ve reached the final sprint now.”

"Should we hang up the phone?"

He took action, but did not hang up the phone.

Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Yukiko couldn't help but spit out her drink and quickly hung up, her face turning even redder.

After hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath to compose herself, then looked at the taxi driver and said, "Um, please go to Beikacho."

Upon hearing this, the driver took off his headphones and smiled, saying, "Okay, hold on tight, we'll be there soon."

The taxi immediately sped up and headed in the direction Yukiko had just indicated.

He didn't hear what Yukiko had just said because he was really listening to music.

only.
"Miss, have you been being pursued by someone lately?" the driver suddenly asked.

"Pursuing?" Yukiko paused for a moment, then replied, "No."

Kitahara Natsumi definitely wasn't pursuing her, because their feelings for each other developed over time, and there was absolutely no sense of pursuit like that between lovers.

"No?" the driver said. "But there's another taxi following us. It's been right behind us the whole time. When I speed up, it speeds up; when I slow down, it slows down."

"This guy's driving skills are so-so!"

When he said this, a confident expression appeared on his face, clearly indicating that he was very confident in his driving skills.

"Someone is following me?" Upon hearing this, Yukiko subconsciously turned her head to look behind her and indeed saw a taxi following her.

But she hasn't bothered anyone lately, and no one is pursuing her.

Is it possible?
She quickly took out her phone and made a call.

"Chris, Chikage, are you following me?" Yukiko asked directly.
