Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 290 Lin Xiuyi, now you're even going after married women!

"Ok?"

Lin Xiuyi was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

Behind him, Yukiko's cheeks flushed with a shy blush.

She opened her arms and gently wrapped them around Lin Xiuyi's waist, then pressed her entire body against his back.

The girl's soft and graceful curves were clearly conveyed through her thin summer dress...

Whoosh!

Having truly experienced what it means for mountains to cluster together, Lin Xiuyi even found himself pedaling his bicycle with increasing strength.

Just then, Yukiko suddenly asked, "By the way, what did you do to make Sharon so angry?"

I didn't help last time.

Lin Xiu stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, finally realizing he had fallen for a honey trap. He sighed helplessly, his voice tinged with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"So, after all this time, this is what you wanted to ask?"

"if not?"

Yukiko playfully poked Hayashi Shuichi's back with her index finger, the force so light it was like tickling.

Lin Xiuyi felt a tingling sensation in her back and unconsciously straightened her back.

“Last time I rode in Sharon’s car back to the set,” Yukiko continued, “she scolded you the whole way. What did you do to offend her?”

"This..." Lin Xiuyi chuckled dryly, a few beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. "Can I not say?"

"What do you say?"

Yukiko suddenly wrapped her arms around Hayashi Shuichi's neck from behind, and her voice suddenly turned dangerous.
"You didn't sleep with her, did you?"

"How could that be!" Lin Xiuyi quickly protested, her voice unconsciously rising an octave. "Sharon and I are completely innocent!"

"clean."

Yukiko gave a soft snort and loosened her arms. Even without turning around, Hayashi Shuichi could imagine her puffed-up face.

"If I believed you, I would be Wangcai!"

“You should be Pudding,” Lin Xiuyi couldn’t help but laugh. “I should be Wangcai, woof woof.”

"Stop talking nonsense," Yukiko said, giving him a playful punch. "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened between you and Sharon?"

“Okay, I’ll tell you,” Lin Xiuyi took a deep breath, “Actually, it was me who ruined her job. Sharon felt that I was helping outsiders against her, and then she got angry.”

"Work?" Yukiko tilted her head. "Sharon is a big American star; she works in Japan."

The girl suddenly widened her eyes: "Which film crew was Sharon shooting on when you went to cause trouble?"

Lin Xiuyi gave a dry laugh, her eyes darting around, and offered no explanation.

Yukiko, unwilling to give up, continued her reasoning: "Sharon thinks you're biased towards outsiders, and outsiders... could they be another stunning beauty?"

"She is indeed a beauty," Lin Xiuyi nodded, recalling Elena's appearance.

"While I was away from Mika, you actually went and flirted with other girls again!"

Yukiko started throwing a tantrum on the back seat, shaking the bicycle violently.

The wheels traced a dangerous arc on the road, startling a stray cat that meowed and darted into the bushes. "Elena isn't a girl," Lin Xiuyi gripped the handlebars tightly, "she's a foreigner, and she's already married."

Unexpectedly, Yukiko became even more furious after hearing this: "Fine, Hayashi Shuichi, now you're even going after married women!"

What are you thinking!

Lin Xiuyi quickly stopped the bicycle. If Yukiko continued to cause trouble, things would definitely go wrong tonight.

"Hmph, I'll walk home myself!"

Yukiko jumped off her bicycle and strode away angrily.

“You’re going the wrong way,” Lin Xiuyi kindly reminded him. “Your home isn’t over there.”

The girl's pretty face immediately turned bright red: "None of your business! It's not like we can't get back this way!"

"Are you planning to circle the earth?" Lin Xiuyi pushed his bicycle and chased after her. "Actually, I've only met Miss Elena once. She's not only married, but she also has a daughter. The couple has a very good relationship. How could I possibly have a relationship with her?"

“Is it really as innocent as you say?” Yukiko stopped and turned around. Annoyed, she demanded, “Why is Sharon angry?”

“I already said that,” Lin Xiuyi said helplessly, scratching his head. “She’s angry mainly because I ruined her job. To put it simply, Sharon’s company wants Miss Elena to…”

"Madam!" Yukiko rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Everyone else is married, and you're still calling her 'Miss'! You're clearly still up to no good!"

“Okay, it’s Mrs. Miyano!” Lin Xiuyi helplessly raised his hands in surrender. “Sharon’s company wanted the Miyano couple to work for them, but they refused. So Sharon went to them, and that’s when I ruined it.”

"Is it really that simple?" Yukiko looked at him suspiciously.

“It’s that simple,” Lin Xiuyi nodded seriously. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Sharon.”

“Of course I’ll ask,” Yukiko snorted, her gaze involuntarily falling on the bicycle that Hayashi Shuichi was pushing. “I’m tired of walking! How long will it take to get home if I keep pushing like this!”

"Please take a seat, Miss," Lin Xiuyi said, holding the handlebars and gesturing for her to sit down.

Yukiko gracefully stepped onto the back seat. This time, she didn't press herself against him, but instead held onto Hayashi Hideichi's clothes with a reserved air.

“Shuichi,” the girl asked curiously, “why does Sharon’s company want the Miyano couple? To make a movie?”

“Sharon is more than just a big star,” Lin Xiuyi’s tone became serious. “Just don’t get too close to her on set, and treat her normally.”

“Sharon has a multinational company behind her that wants to conduct research on biopharmaceuticals, and the Miyano couple happen to be experts in this field.”

"Is there something wrong with the company behind Sharon?" Yukiko understood his unspoken message.

“That company might be involved in some transnational crimes,” Lin Xiuyi said in a deep voice. “In short, just be careful when you’re with Sharon.”

"Oh," seeing his serious expression, Yukiko nodded obediently, "You found all of this out through your investigation?"

"More or less," Lin Xiuyi replied vaguely.

“Now I know why Sharon is angry,” Yukiko said with a sudden realization. “She must suspect that your purpose in approaching her is to investigate her.”

"Perhaps," Lin Xiuyi said noncommittally, but couldn't help but admire how quickly women reacted to such questions.

……

The rains of the rainy season come suddenly and violently.

Just as the bicycle was about to turn onto the road in front of the apartment building, a pale white flash of lightning suddenly ripped through the night sky, followed by a loud clap of thunder, and large raindrops instantly poured down.

Lin Xiu felt a chill run down her back; the icy rainwater had already seeped into her collar along her neck...
