Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 335: Xiaolan’s entry mission at the winery, will the Shinkansen explode?
With Yingsheng as an example, Xiaolan was not too opposed to joining the winery.

This is not a soul contract that cannot be violated, it's just a title.

Now that there is an opportunity, just stab with the knife, it won't make any difference.

Gin was naturally aware of this, but he didn't care either.

In his opinion, an ignorant high school girl like Mao Lilan who has many concerns is extremely easy to control.

First assign some lighter tasks, and then gradually progress to murder and arson, and boiling a frog in warm water, which is easy.

Come to think of it, isn't that what Mizuki Hotaru did?

Thinking of this, Gin said, "Now I'll give you an entry-level task. Ms. Maori, complete a transaction with a lady who works in securities and give her information about gold. The bottom line of the price is 200 million yen. The information has been sent to your mailbox."

The next second, Xiaolan felt her phone vibrate. She took it out and saw that it was a mission briefing sent to her from an unknown email address.

Gin was undoubtedly showing off his skills to make it clear to Xiaolan:
The organization has already investigated you thoroughly.

If you are an ordinary high school student, you might be surprised.

But Xiaolan has seen rejuvenation and resurrection during this period of time, and she is very familiar with the technological strength of the winery. She is not surprised that semi-public information such as her email address was discovered. If she has the ability, she can directly hack into the calls in her headphones.

Xiaolan quickly checked the mission briefing. There was nothing noteworthy in the general content at the beginning, but the last paragraph made her pupils shrink.

[The target person has been involved in high-risk speculation, and his economic activities are subject to bank supervision. If he uses this information for profit, the bank's subsequent inspection may affect the organization. It is recommended to kill him. ]

After five seconds, the email is automatically deleted.

Gin obviously knew what Xiaolan was thinking, and a hint of amusement appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"That's just a suggestion. It's up to you whether you listen to it or not. Anyway, if something happens to her, you will be the first one to be implicated. Can you ensure that you don't betray the organization? If not, unfortunately, you will be the target of silencing her."

How delightful it is to tempt good men to fall.

Gin finally understood why Mizuki Hoto liked to do this kind of thing, and it felt really good.

Xiaolan was silent for a moment: "I understand."

Gin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do it as soon as possible, and you can only act alone, you can't ask for help from others."

"Understood, Master Gin."

Xiaolan agreed readily, and planned to tell Hotaru about this as soon as Gin hung up the phone, and ask him what he would do if it were him.

But before that, Xiaolan decided to ask Gin first, so that Hotaru would not avoid talking about certain issues later.

"Hina should also have an onboarding mission, can I refer to his ideas?"

"Hey, Mr. Liuying, what do you think?"

Gin did not answer but asked a question instead, his target was Hotaru who was listening.

Yingsheng said casually: "I think, Sir, you should be in a good mood today. Do you have any happy things to share?"

"..."

Even though he had never really been in a relationship, Gin felt that the way the two people on the other end of the phone interacted with each other was a little strange, and he clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

"The first official mission that Mizuki Hotoshii performed was to extort 100 million yen using evidence of a crime committed by a chairman of a trading company. He found someone to buy out some of the company's shares and gathered the working capital in one night to complete the mission."

"Ah?"

Yingsheng was quite surprised: "Sir, you would actually say that? I thought you would exaggerate."

Gin ignored him and continued, "That trading company is in the logistics business. It has now been preliminarily integrated with the Sumiyoshi-kai, and its size has doubled. All the new employees are gangsters, and the chairman is about to be sidelined."

Yingsheng added: "All procedures are legal and compliant, and the chairman's annual dividend is now increased by at least 50%. He can't do this on his own."

"How do you know he can't do it?" Gin asked.

Yingsheng sighed: "Because he is an old antique, he doesn't know how to transform to the Internet and will soon be eliminated by the times.

And the most important thing is that he has been targeted by the organization. If Sumiyoshi does not take over and the trading company continues to grow and show good prospects, it will definitely be exploited by the organization. "

Gin sneered: "I didn't expect you to have such a business mind. When Liuying receives customers, doesn't he tell them sweet words instead of teaching them how to do business?"

"Alala, dear Mr. Gin, I'll leave you two points of shares as well. Don't be angry, okay?"

"!!!!!!"

Xiaolan, Gin, and Tequila and others who were listening all felt their scalps tingling instantly.

this person……

He is so shameless!

Gin's tone was cold: "Twenty percent?"

Still no killing intent came in, Yingsheng curled his lips slightly: "Of course it's a percentage, but if you are willing to invest 1 billion capital, 20% is not out of the question."

Gin ignored him and said, "Finish it within three days. Is that a problem? Ms. Maori."

"No."

After listening to Hotaru's case, Xiaolan already had a preliminary idea. After Gin hung up the phone, she immediately asked Hotaru for advice.

"The winery suggested silencing the target in order to avoid being affected by subsequent bank inspections. If we normalize this part of the transaction or allow more people to participate, the bank will not deliberately check it, so can we avoid silencing?"

"That's a good idea. What are you going to do?" Yingsheng asked.

"Um……"

Xiaolan pondered for a moment: "The first thing is of course to verify the authenticity of the gold insider information to prevent the winery from simply committing fraud. The second thing is..." Xiaolan was frustrated, "The second thing is to preside over the transaction, but I know nothing about this."

She suddenly thought that the winery might feel that this was too troublesome and that there was a risk of being exposed if she entered, so they simply decided to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Of course Xiaolan hated this approach, but she had to admit that it was indeed the easiest way.

Yingsheng said: "It's easy to get in touch with professionals in this area within your network."

"professional?"

Xiaolan frowned and thought, her expression suddenly changed and she shook her head like a rattle.

"You mean Sonoko? No, no, how can we involve her in this matter? Absolutely not."

"What kind of thing?" Yingsheng asked back.

"It's related to the winery. This matter is different from the time when you entrusted your mother with the task. It's too dangerous. You..." Xiaolan paused and suddenly hesitated. "So, because of Akechi's medicine, has the Suzuki family already had a connection with the winery?"

"That is by no means the starting point, Lan, I assure you."

Yingsheng said: "As the largest financial group in Japan, the Suzuki family has tentacles that reach almost every corner of society. The same is true for the winery, which is powerful and omnipresent in all walks of life. These two entities are like two giant spiders lying on the four islands of Japan. How could they not have had the slightest contact?"

Xiaolan was silent for a few breaths: "I think Uncle Suzuki is a good person." Yingsheng nodded: "Of course, I didn't say he wasn't. Contacting the winery doesn't conflict with being a good person.

According to the six degrees of separation theory, on average only six people or less are needed for each person to establish a connection with anyone in the world.

I just want to say that this world is a big network.

Don't get hung up on black-and-white binary theory, and don't limit your actions with a preconceived position. Using the information provided by bad people to make a profit, and then using it for charity, do you think this person is a good person or a bad person?
In short, we should seek truth from facts and treat each matter separately.”

Xiaolan thought about it seriously, and felt that what Yingsheng said made some sense, but at the same time, she felt that this guy was really eloquent and she could not beat him at all.

Xiaolan sighed: "I'm just worried that one day in the future, a situation like today will happen again, and Gin will call Sonoko and ask her to join the brewery or something."

"........."

Yingsheng was quite speechless, but he also felt that this kind of thing was not completely impossible?

He shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the case. Isn't the winery very secretive? The Suzuki Group is too involved. They are at most tacitly involved and it is impossible for them to work together.

Even if the situation you mentioned happened, considering the special nature of Sonoko's identity, the winery would not let her do anything dangerous, unless they were all crazy.

Moreover, they will probably take the initiative to act as the Suzuki family's black gloves, allowing the Suzuki Group to develop smoothly without being touched by anything dirty. "

Yingsheng is quite familiar with this kind of thing.

In her previous life, the second young lady of his company was a truly pure and flawless white lotus. Even the Buddhas' Dharma eyes, which could see through all illusions, could not see a trace of darkness in her heart.

As the company's image spokesperson and external propaganda spokesperson, she accepts offerings from the citizens under the company's rule, and her virtual person gradually begins to be deified.

Unfortunately, the company cannot allow her to be promoted.

Otherwise you're just asking for trouble.

……

Xiaolan agreed with what Hotaru said. Sonoko is the eldest daughter of the top conglomerate in Japan. As long as the decision-makers of the winery are not all idiots, they would never let her kill people or set fire to things.

But even so, she didn't want to involve Yuanzi.

Xiaolan said: "Please, Hotaru, give this information to the Sumiyoshi-kai. I don't know enough about the winery yet."

The implication is: what if those people at the winery really don't play by the rules.

"No problem, I'll be at the hospital soon, where are you?"

Hotaru agreed casually, but as for Gin's suggestion to let Xiaolan complete it alone, neither of them took it seriously.

They are now peripheral members of the winery, lawless outlaws, not good students.

As for borrowing Yingsheng's help, would it be embarrassing...

Xiaolan just wants to say that she would never do bad things. Who would use their self-esteem in such a strange way?

Besides, in daily life, I receive even more care.

It's totally unclear now.

So, you can only pay it back slowly over your lifetime.

If one life is not enough, then... there is nothing we can do about the next life.

Xiaolan blushed for some reason and walked into the hospital lobby. "I just entered the hospital, I should be fine." She tilted her head to look at the injury on her left shoulder and sighed, "I think I should walk faster, the wound has completely scabbed over."

"…Ran, are you a Super Saiyan?"

"You are the one, Hotaru. From what you said to Mr. Kurosawa, you must have been seriously injured yesterday. Yet, you acted like nothing happened and even went out on a date at night."

"Hey, you agreed to that."

Xiaolan snorted: "I didn't say anything about this. By the way, Ying, did you really wear women's clothes last night?"

Yingsheng said truthfully, "Toga robes are probably considered as such in a place like Japan that has become too westernized."

"I'm curious. You showed up in broad daylight last night, why didn't Mr. Kurosawa and the others notice you?"

"Because there was more than one firefly last night, there were two in Kabukicho and Ginza. Apart from the fact that this identity is sometimes confirmed by wearing women's clothes, from the outside world's point of view, they are probably stand-ins found by the merchants from nowhere, just for publicity."

"So that's how it is... here!"

Xiaolan hung up the phone and waved towards the hospital entrance.

Yingsheng, who was looking around at the door, saw Xiaolan standing in line, pulled the hand lever, and drove his electric wheelchair closer.

Along the way, people saw his legs wrapped tightly in plaster and moved to the sides, which gave Yingsheng a new understanding of the convenience of electric wheelchairs as a means of transportation.

When crossing the road with it, no driver would dare to run a red light!
Xiaolan leaned over slightly and knocked on the plaster of Yingsheng's legs. She heard a "dong dong" sound and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Why did it solidify so quickly?"

"It was done yesterday afternoon. I took it down and kept it ready for use." Yingsheng pointed to the side of the plaster and lowered his voice. "It was separated by plastic wrap when the mold was poured. It's not a single piece."

"So, are you really hurt?"

"Of course, I got bit by mosquitoes a few times, but the medicine they gave me had an anesthetic component, so it wasn't a big problem."

Xiaolan looked worried and was about to speak when it was her turn in line. She went forward to make appointments for various physical examinations.

The doctor told her that she would have to wait until the day after tomorrow for the physical examination.

Xiaolan took out a bank card: "I want the most expensive package, and I can add more money."

"...Please wait a moment. I'll ask the section chief for instructions."

Health is always more important than money. Giving up some material possessions in exchange for convenience in time, after spending so much time with Yingsheng, Xiaolan now thinks it is a good deal.

Moreover, after experiencing so many things, especially after just talking to Gin about a "business" with a guaranteed minimum profit of 200 million, Xiaolan's view on money has undoubtedly been affected to a certain extent.

It doesn't mean that you will become money-oriented from now on, but that you will be more relaxed about money.

Just like the garden.

Xiaolan's physical examinations were carried out soon, and Yingsheng controlled the wheelchair and followed Xiaolan to various departments.

Given what Gin said before, it is unlikely that the brewery will take action against Xiaolan again.

But who knows what the purpose of that poker man is.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Hotaru received a call and the voice of Kudo Shinichi came from the receiver.

"Suiyue, did you kill Tanaka Tomofumi?"
