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

Chapter 559 The Age of Ferocity (1st Update)
Morning light streamed into the suite through the gaps in the curtains. Shiraishi E opened her eyes, with Yukiko still fast asleep on her arm.

He gently withdrew his hand, picked up his phone from the bedside table, and sent photos of the three targets he had dealt with the previous night to Yusaku Kudo, along with a brief message:

"Done."

In less than five minutes, my phone vibrated, and a bank account notification popped up—3,000,000 USD!

Shiraishi raised an eyebrow, impressed by Yusaku's efficiency and meticulous attention to financial matters.

The money was transferred under the name of "overseas copyright royalties," which is completely legal and compliant. It even thoughtfully deducted all taxes, so it can be used directly.

As expected of Yusaku Kudo, he even saved himself the trouble of money laundering.

He chuckled softly, got up, and headed towards the bathroom.

The warm water washed over my body, cleansing away someone's saliva and sweat from yesterday.

He discovered that he could even order breakfast while taking a shower!

"As expected of a private club, the treatment is definitely different!"

While reminiscing, Shiraishi E ordered breakfast and set it to be delivered in thirty minutes.

When he finished showering and came out drying his hair, room service had already delivered breakfast—an exquisite Western-style set meal, accompanied by a pot of freshly brewed coffee.

Just as he sat down to enjoy his meal, Yukiko on the bed rolled over and lazily opened her eyes: "Hmm... what time is it?"

"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." Shiraishi E forked a piece of sausage and showed it off, replenishing the protein she lost last night.

Yukiko stretched, the thin blanket slipped down, revealing her smooth shoulders: "I'm hungry."

Shiraishi pointed to the seat opposite her: "Come and eat."

Yukiko threw off the covers and stepped barefoot onto the carpet, but instead of heading to the dining table, she straddled Shiraishi E's lap.

Her fingers gently traced his chest, her red lips close to his ear: "Before breakfast... how about some exercise?"

"No way? I just took a shower." Shiraishi E was a little unhappy.

He was pleased that Yukiko was being so proactive.

But he always felt that the other party was treating him like livestock.

This feeling is really not good!

"It's okay, it's okay~~ We can shower together later." Yukiko chuckled and pushed the other person down onto the sofa.

Not wanting to spoil the other person's fun, Shiraishi E started exercising with them.

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

Two hours later, Shiraishi leaned back on the sofa, watching Yukiko finish her morning exercise with satisfaction.

She got up and walked towards the bathroom, saying cheerfully, "What a lovely morning! I'm going to take a shower now, so don't you dare sneak in!"

Shiraishi E originally wanted to have breakfast, but he felt that the other party's words were full of provocation!

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be like a wolf at thirty and a tiger at forty.

At that age, when one is full of vigor and vitality, most people really can't handle it!
Fortunately, he's no ordinary person!
After the bathroom door closed, Shiraishi E got up and went into the bathroom.

After spending an hour successfully proving themselves, the two finally went out for breakfast.

Of course, to be precise, it's already noon, so it should be considered lunchtime.

While eating her cold breakfast, Shiraishi E said, "Do you always have this much energy when you're filming?"

Yukiko, biting into her sandwich, blinked: "Of course, directing is physically demanding!" Shiraishi E nodded and said, "I can tell!"

The two chatted idly while watching TV to pass the time and regain their energy.

At that moment, the television was broadcasting news about a cruise ship that had sunk recently.

Upon seeing this, Yukiko immediately said, "I know that cruise ship. It's actually a gambling ship. Many rich people go on board and gamble!"

"I also received an invitation, but I didn't go; I'm still busy filming!"

"However, I heard from a friend that there's a little girl on the gambling ship who's possessed by a gambling god, and she's dominating the game!"

"..."

Seeing her interest, Shiraishi E immediately said, "That little girl is actually Ran."

"Huh? Ran!" Yukiko exclaimed in surprise, "Were you on the ship at the time?"

Shiraishi chuckled softly and said, "More than that? We're the ones who sank that ship."

"Huh? I heard that the crew fell asleep, causing a collision with other cruise ships and the ship to sink... Is that true?" Yukiko asked curiously, "Tell me what happened?"

Shiraishi E didn't hide anything and immediately told Yukiko everything that happened on the gambling ship.

Over the next half hour, Shiraishi E described the entire incident in great detail: the organization's secret experiments, the effects of APTX4869, the unexpected shrinking of Kogoro Mouri and others, and the antidote developed by Shiho Miyano.

Yukiko's eyes lit up the whole time, and she occasionally exclaimed in amazement.

"Oh my god! This is so exciting!" She suddenly jumped out of bed, twirled barefoot on the soft carpet, and exclaimed, "I really want to join in! It's definitely more fun than making a movie!!"

Looking into her sparkling eyes, Shiraishi E suddenly understood why Shinichi Kudo had always loved running to crime scenes since he was a child—this woman's adventurous genes were definitely 100% passed down to Conan.

Yukiko suddenly pounced on Shiraishi E, bracing her hands on the armrests of the sofa on either side of him: "Wait. You mean Yusaku, Uncle Mori, and that Osaka kid all shrunk? And then took the medicine and turned back?"

"Yes." Shiraishi E nodded, "But we don't know what the side effects are yet."

"That kind of medicine!" Yukiko's eyes lit up dramatically. "Give me one too! I want to turn back into eighteen!"

Shiraishi looked at Yukiko speechlessly, feeling that the other woman only heard about the rejuvenation and didn't care about the side effects at all.

He bluntly pointed out, "It's not eighteen, it's twelve or thirteen."

"Twelve or thirteen years old would have been better!" Yukiko sighed, cupping her face in her hands. "It's better than being thirty-eight now!" She pointed to non-existent fine lines at the corners of her eyes: "See, no matter how much skincare you do, you're losing collagen."

Shiraishi E said, "Do you know how many people have died after taking this drug?"

Yukiko's movements suddenly froze: "...Will I die?"

“The mortality rate is over 70%.” Shiraishi E’s voice turned somber. “Of those who survive, half will suffer permanent aftereffects.”

Yukiko gasped and instinctively took a half-step back.

But then her eyes lit up again: "Then what about that friend of yours who researches anti-aging drugs?"

“Shiho Miyano.” Emi Shiraishi nodded. “She is indeed developing a rejuvenation drug with fewer side effects, which could probably make people look two or three years younger.”

"I want it!" Yukiko immediately pounced on him and hugged his neck. "If it works, I'll be the first one to try it out!"

Before Shiraishi E could answer, she silenced him with a series of sweet kisses. He helplessly wrapped his arms around her waist, and between breaths, said, "No problem, but probably not so soon!"

"It's okay!" Yukiko waved her hand generously. "I can wait for the sake of being young and beautiful!!"

Looking at this woman who would do anything for beauty, Shiraishi E knew that APTX4869 would most likely have her completely under his control.
