Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 30 Dangerous Curiosity, Xiaolan Breaks Taboo
Feeling the warmth behind him, Yingsheng smiled gently.

"You don't need to do that. It's impossible."

Xiaolan did not respond, but just gently rested her head on his back. She could not get close to him because the helmet was too much of a hindrance. She pulled her left hand away, wanting to...

Being held down.

"I have bulletproof inserts on my back, and I can't hear my heartbeat without taking off my helmet."

Therefore, he slightly increased the strength of his arms around his waist.

Yingsheng retracted his hand and gently pushed the handlebars. The motorcycle, which was already seriously speeding, now roared even louder, almost flying close to the ground. The bright neon lights around were stretched into two blurred light curtains, separating all the complexity of the world.

Although the strong wind could not be felt under the helmet hood, the lake-blue eyes were clearly rippling slightly.

Xiaolan could no longer see the world around her. The continuous honking of cars was distorted into a long, unreal music. There seemed to be several sirens?

Inexplicably, the world seemed to have suddenly shrunk.

There were only two of them left.

The passage of time seems to become strange. It is only a short moment, but the world in front of my eyes gradually becomes clearer and finally evolves into real reality.

The motorcycle slowly drove into a dark alley, turned off the engine and stopped.

"Here we are."

There was no response from behind for a long time. Yingsheng raised his hand to cover the back of Xiaolan's hand and smiled gently.

"Is he frozen? Sorry, I forgot to buy gloves."

The force on the waist increased a little, and even though there were several layers of separation, the girl's temperature could still be clearly felt.

"You really don't feel anything?" Xiaolan's voice was muffled through the helmet.

"Almost there." Yingsheng said with a smile.

Xiaolan was silent for a long time.

"Feel sorry."

"This is none of your business."

"Yuanzi was making a lot of noise this afternoon, and more than just the two of us heard it. This was all caused by me. After that, when you came into contact with other girls at school..."

“It won’t have much of an impact.”

"Eh?"

"Under the oppression of secular rules and regulations, adolescents with nowhere to put their energy often develop a rebellious mentality. As long as there is no concrete facts, the title of scumbag may even have an unexpected attraction."

"..."

"What you did tonight was very out of character, perhaps for this reason."

Xiaolan sighed: "So?"

"If you don't repent in time, I will...hiss--I'm going to break! My waist is going to break!"

Yingsheng had already pried open her hands from around her waist, but she suddenly closed them again, very hard.

"Humph! If you have any intentions towards me, shouldn't you say some sweet words to coax me in? Now you're saying these words, it's obvious that you want me to leave."

"Hiss - let go, let go. Playing hard to get, do you understand? I'm sure you'll fall for it!"

"Then congratulations, I fell into your trap!"

tick...

The movements suddenly became a little stiff.

"Hey, what did you say?"

"I said, please forgive my curiosity."

tick-

A ripple appeared in the lake of my heart.

For a moment, all the inexplicable struggles and incomprehensible words disappeared.

The dark alley fell into silence.

They could even hear each other's breathing.

Time passed slowly, and through the white cycling gloves, the body temperatures of the two people gradually merged.

"Okay, it's time to take action." Yingsheng said.

"Ah."

Finally, Xiaolan let go of her arms.

After tacitly skipping this section, the two came to the alley entrance. Xiaolan wanted to take off her helmet, but was stopped. "Do you want to kill all those people?"

Yingsheng's tone was very calm. Xiaolan was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that what they were going to do next was no joke, it was even a matter of life and death!
If what happened before was a comfortable youthful routine, now it will be some kind of passionate fight to the death!
only……

Xiaolan still didn't quite understand.

Even though things had come to this point, even though the brightly lit seven-story office building not far ahead was her target, she still lacked a serious sense of reality.

Suddenly, a light laugh came to my ear.

"It was just a momentary impulse after all."

"..."

Xiaolan was quite speechless: "Am I really that shallow? You always see through my thoughts at a glance."

"This is actually a very interesting thing. You can try it later. It doesn't matter if you guess wrong." Yingsheng smiled and took out a pair of headphones from his pocket and handed them to Xiaolan. "Use this to communicate in the future, and give yourself a code name to avoid revealing your true identity."

Xiaolan glanced at the headset in her hand, then looked at Yingsheng and blinked.

"Liu Ying?"

“This direction is too obvious.”

"Emm, Firefly?"

"This is still obvious, just like when I called you Lan. My code name is Tianshu, the first star of the Big Dipper."

Xiaolan thought for a moment, "The stars of the Southern Dipper..."

"Don't!"

Yingsheng quickly stopped him: "Don't force it. Just pick a code name that you like and that you can react to immediately. You can call it an armed helicopter."

"..."

Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Then call me Alice. By the way, can Suigetsu-kun also play the piano? I recognized him the first time I saw him in the restaurant."

"I've only heard of it. Also, call me Tianshu."

"..."

Xiaolan put on the headset and raised the helmet in her hand. "Wouldn't it be suspicious if we went in wearing this?"

"The intelligence gathering process has been completed. Now we just need to attack from the front." Yingsheng took out his cell phone, opened a recording, and clicked play. "To prevent you from being lenient, I will let you listen to two wiretap audio clips."

The next second, Xiaolan heard a middle-aged man's miserable voice begging for mercy in his earphone.

"Kowtow? Kowtow also counts as time, and the interest will increase!"

Violent, cruel, and arrogant!
After listening to the three-minute audio, Xiaolan formed the above impressions of the man who was called President Watanuki by others.

After listening to the second paragraph, the words "vulgar" and "lustful" were added.

That guy not only wanted to take sexual advantage of the high school girl who had temporarily gone astray, he also wanted her to work in the adult entertainment industry, and even shamelessly said that he had resources in the industry and could make her a huge star, more famous than even a TV star!
Taller!

Blood pressure is high!
Hard!

The fist is hard!

The building in front looked bright and clean in the night, but in Xiaolan's eyes burning with rage, it was extremely dirty and filthy, with the foul pus called sin flowing everywhere!
"There is definitely a lot of evidence of crimes hidden in their company, and that is our target."

Yingsheng began to plan his actions.

"The finance office is on the fifth floor, the president's office of Watanuki Tatsuzo is on the seventh floor, and the minions who help the evil are everywhere.

We will rush into the fifth floor from the front and back doors together. Anyone who blocks our way must be knocked down. We need to be a little heavier-handed. Even if they are not killed or disabled, at least they must be temporarily incapacitated. Otherwise, you will be the only one in trouble.

After that, you will stay there temporarily and don't allow anyone to escape or destroy any information.

According to the information I got, the minions don't have guns, so you shouldn't be in any trouble.

Tatsuzo Watanuki has a gun, so I have to go up.

If there are women in the finance office, don't be soft-hearted. They know what they do on weekdays and are also accomplices. But if the conditions are right, you can ask them to help you call the police.

Remember, you must use the hands-free mode and don’t be fooled.”

Compared to the many actions Ying had planned in her previous life, this plan was so crude that it was unbearable to look at. But Xiaolan had always been a good girl, and it took her a long time to digest this kind of thing.

"understand!"

Xiaolan's eyes flashed with a bright color he had never seen before, and Yingsheng smiled gently.

"Put on your helmet, Alice."

With a hint of excitement and playfulness, Xiaolan raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"Received, Tianshu."
