I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 313 This wound...must be treated immediately! (1 more)
Xiaolan, Yukiko and the others finally returned to the VIP guest room floor.

Yuanzi was already waiting there. When she saw them coming back, she happily stepped forward and tightly grasped Xiaolan's hand, breathing a sigh of relief: "Xiaolan, I'm so glad you're okay... Where's Hui? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"Hui asked us to come back first and cover our retreat." Xiaolan looked back while speaking, and her expression quickly froze.

Hibiki Eri is missing!

Her face turned pale instantly, and her eyes were full of panic: "Wait, where's Mom? Wasn't she with us just now?"

Her heartbeat quickened, all kinds of ominous premonitions flashed through her mind, and she turned around and was about to run back: "No, I have to go back to find my mother! She might be in danger!"

Seeing this, Yuanzi quickly grabbed Xiaolan's hand and pulled her hard: "Xiaolan, don't panic! Calm down first!" Although her tone was anxious, it was also a little soothing, "Let's call Hui first, maybe he is with Aunt Eri now!!"

Xiaolan paused, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but she was still full of anxiety.

"Sonoko is right, Xiaolan, don't worry, I'll call and ask now." Yukiko quickly took out her cell phone from her bag and comforted Xiaolan while dialing the number.

The call was quickly connected, and Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Shiraishi-kun, is Eri with you? She is... That's great."

After hearing this, Xiaolan quickly took the phone and said hurriedly: "Hui, Mom! Are you okay?"

Bai Shihui's calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, we are safe."

Then came the voice of Hibiki Eri: "Xiaolan, you don't have to come down anymore, just stay up there and let us rest for a while, and then we'll go up and meet you!"

Hearing this news, Xiaolan's tense nerves finally relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Yeah, okay... then you guys be careful."

Sonoko patted Xiaolan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "See, I told you, Aunt Eri will be fine! Let's go back and have a rest, we are all tired."

After Xiaolan returned the phone to Yukiko, she followed Sonoko back to the suite.

The group entered the suite and walked towards the designated room. When passing the living room, Conan suddenly stopped.

His ears were keenly aware of several men in black who passed by him and entered the conference room discussing a few key words - "APTX4869".

His pupils shrank slightly and his expression became solemn.

Conan's heart beat faster, realizing that this attack must be related to these guys!

Before his brain could react, he had already taken out a small eavesdropping device from his pocket and threw it into the man in black's trouser pocket while he wasn't paying attention.

His movements were so light and quick that the man in black didn't notice at all.

After returning to the VIP suite, everyone sat on the sofa to rest, while Conan used the excuse of going to the bathroom and quietly hid in the corner of the room.

He put on headphones, turned on the eavesdropping device's receiver, and listened attentively to the sound coming from the headphones with bated breath.

----------------------

The atmosphere in the VIP suite's meeting room was solemn and tense.

Both sides of the long table were filled with wealthy and powerful people from the capital, and everyone had a look of confusion and nervousness on their faces.

Rum stood at the front of the conference table and glanced around. After confirming that all the important people on the list were present, he nodded slightly, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Everyone," Rum's voice was deep and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention, "My name is Rum. Some of you may have heard of me, or maybe not. But it doesn't matter."

"I invited you here today to show you something."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and the large screen in the conference room slowly lit up and a video began to play on the screen.

In the video, a white-haired old man sat in a wheelchair, looking haggard and obviously terminally ill. However, when he was injected with a blue drug, a miracle happened.

In just over ten minutes, the old man's face gradually turned rosy, and his originally sparse white hair became thick and black.

He stood up, walked briskly, and even did a jump and roll with ease.

Then, the scene switched to a middle-aged man whose left hand was amputated in an accident, leaving only an empty sleeve.

However, after being injected with the same blue drug, his broken arm grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually recovered completely and could be swung freely.

Then, a terminally ill man appeared in the video, and the doctor had announced that he only had a few months to live. However, after being injected with blue medicine, his condition miraculously improved and even recovered completely.

.........

After a dozen similar videos were played, there was silence in the conference room, followed by whispers and exclamations.

There was a gleam of greed and desire in the eyes of the rich.

For people like them, what they worry about most is health and aging!
If such a drug really existed, wouldn't it mean that they could regain their youth or even live forever?
"This...is this true?" A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses couldn't help but ask, with excitement in his voice that was hard to conceal.

"What exactly is that drug? Does it really exist? Or are you kidding us?" Another wealthy woman in a gorgeous dress couldn't help but speak, her tone filled with doubt and expectation.

The others also asked their own questions. At this moment, they no longer cared whether the other party had someone pointing a gun at them.

Rum smiled slightly, resting his hands on the table, and looked at everyone present: "Of course it's true. In order to make you believe it, I have specially prepared a live experiment."

After he finished speaking, a surveillance video was played on the big screen again.

In the picture, a young girl was leisurely drinking milk tea. Suddenly, the glass in her hand was accidentally crushed by her, and fragments flew everywhere.

In another picture, a man was working out in the gym. He could only lift a 50-kilogram barbell before, but now he could do it with ease and even punched through a sandbag with two punches.

In the next scene, on the deck, a man had an argument with someone, and a conflict ensued. In a rage, he grabbed the other person, lifted him up and threw him into the sea.

...............

The wealthy people in the conference room were stunned by the surveillance footage, and exclaimed in amazement. "I can testify to what happened on the deck just now. I was there at the time!!"

"This is incredible! If this drug can really give people such power, then can't we return to our youth?"

"But a drug as powerful as this must be very expensive, right?"

"No matter how expensive it is, I'll sell everything I have to get myself one!!"

At this moment, Tomoko Suzuki's calm voice broke the noise in the conference room: "Mr. Rum, I have a question."

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on her.

Suzuki Tomoko leaned back in her chair elegantly, her eyes sharp and calm: "What are the side effects of this drug?"

Rum was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting someone to ask this question so directly.

He narrowed his eyes, looked at Suzuki Tomoko carefully, and then smiled: "Mrs. Suzuki is indeed perceptive. At present, this drug is still in the research stage, and the side effects are not yet fully understood."

“But the effect is already obvious. With more time and money, the finished product will be available in a few years.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became subtle.

Those who could sit here were not stupid. They immediately understood Rum’s intention—the other party was here to solicit investment.

What made them even more uneasy was that the conference room was now filled with strong men dressed in black and holding guns.

Their presence silently conveys a message: if you are unwilling to cooperate, the consequences will be disastrous.

A wealthy man couldn't help but whisper to the person next to him: "This...this is forcing us to get on board."

Another person responded with a wry smile: "It seems that if I don't agree today, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this door."

Rum still had a smile on his face, and his eyes swept over everyone present: "Everyone, you only have one chance. You can choose to join us and share this future wealth and power. Or..."

His tone suddenly turned cold: "Choose another way."

There was dead silence in the conference room, and everyone knew they had no choice.

————————————————————————

In the private room of the bar, the lights were dim and the air was filled with a faint aroma of alcohol.

Shiraishi Hui had just hung up the phone with Yukiko, and her expression was a little more relaxed. She turned to Kisaki Eri who was sitting on the sofa and said, "It seems that they are all safe, and Xiaolan and the others are fine too."

Kisaki Eri nodded slightly and forced a smile: "Well, that's great." However, there was a hint of reluctance in her smile, and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was holding back something.

Shiraishi Hui keenly noticed her abnormality and immediately moved closer, looking at her with concern: "Lawyer Fei, what's wrong with you? Are you injured somewhere? Did you sprain your ankle when you were running away?"

Having said that, he squatted down without saying anything, gently lifted up Hibiki Eri's pair of slender black legs, and gently took off her high heels.

He pressed his fingers gently on her ankle and calf, checking carefully for signs of sprains. However, he found nothing unusual.

Kisaki Eri looked at his movements with an unnatural expression and her cheeks slightly flushed.

She didn't understand what was wrong with her. She knew clearly that the other person was actually a woman disguised as a man, but she was still so shy.

She bit her lower lip lightly and pretended to be calm, "I... I'm fine, just a little tired." Although her voice was calm, there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

Shiraishi Hui raised her head and looked straight at her, obviously not believing what she said.

He frowned, with a hint of helplessness and seriousness in his tone: "Lawyer Fei, now is not the time to be petty. If you don't tell the truth, then I can only give you a full body examination myself."

As he said that, he reached out and began to unbutton Kissing Eri's coat. His movements were quick and decisive, and it was obvious that he was not joking.

Kisaki Eri was suddenly panicked. She didn't expect that he would actually do something.

She quickly grabbed his hand, looking a little flustered: "Wait! You... don't do this!" There was a hint of helplessness and shyness in her voice. Finally, she sighed and confessed in a low voice: "Actually, it's like this. I was... bitten."

Bai Shihui's eyes suddenly became solemn, and she said in a heavy tone: "Bitten? Where was it bitten? Let me see!"

Kisaki Eri's cheeks turned even redder, and she looked embarrassed as she whispered, "This... I'm afraid this is not very convenient." Her voice was almost inaudible, and her eyes were evasive, obviously she was very embarrassed about this topic.

Bai Shihui frowned and said helplessly: "I say, lawyer Fei, what time is it now? Are you still concerned about whether this is appropriate or not?"

"If something happens to you, how should I explain it to Xiaolan?"

"Besides, I'm a girl too, why should you be shy?"

After hearing what he said, Kisaki Eri relaxed a little.

She bit her lip and finally nodded: "Okay...you're right." She suppressed her shyness and began to slowly take off her coat.

However, her movement affected the wound, causing her face to immediately reveal a look of pain, with her brows tightly furrowed.

Seeing this, Bai Shihui immediately reached out to support her and said softly, "Let me help you."

He carefully helped her take off her coat, and then her shirt. When the shirt was slowly taken off, his eyes fell on her chest - there was a bloody tooth mark there, and the skin around the wound was a little red, obviously the situation was not optimistic.

Shiraishi Hui immediately realized that the opportunity had come!

His eyes instantly became solemn, and he whispered: "This wound... must be treated immediately!!"
