Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 208 Yukiko's Re-debut

Mary Akai interrupted her, saying:

"Time is the resource we lack most! By the time we realize it's a trap, it will be too late!"

"I understand your thoughts. But, Zhen Chun, survival comes first. We can't gamble our safety on a mere possibility."

A brief stalemate ensued in the room.

Sera clenched her fists. She knew her mother was right; survival was the top priority.

In the end, Sera Masumi conceded a step but proposed a compromise.

“Mom, I understand. But… what if we don’t completely trust each other, but instead approach each other tentatively?”

"Your tentative contact has already gotten Sumitomo Masakazu to give you money to leave his sister," Akai Mary said coldly.

Sera Masumi scratched her head.

This is really dramatic.

Ai is being a little too cautious.

Furthermore, Zheng Yi's handling of the situation is also very perplexing.

Give her money to leave.

What's going on?

"This also shows that Masakazu doesn't have any ill intentions towards us," Sera Masumi said.

If they had malicious intent, they would have been arrested long ago.

"Moreover, those people in the organization don't care about the truth. Based on my previous probing, they should have made a move against me long ago."

Mary Akai remained silent.

After a few minutes of silence, she turned around.

Sera Masumi looked at Akai Mary and said, "Also, they have the antidote."

Our purpose in coming to Japan is to find a cure.

Mary Akai asked, "So what are you planning to do?"

“Just go ask for it,” Sera Masumi said.

Mary Akai slapped her forehead.

……

"Xiao Ai."

Call me Shiho Miyano.

Shiho stared at Masakazu without expression.

She is now Shiho Miyano, not Ai Haibara.

"Sooner or later."

Shiho's little tiger teeth are showing again.

What kind of vicious curse is this?

Shoichi reached out and touched Shiho's hair, making a mess of it.

Shiho's pupils widened as she stared at Shoichi with disbelief.

Before she could react, he handed the phone to Shiho.

"This is an email that Conan just sent me."

[Brother Zhengyi, I suddenly turned into Conan while I was at the observation restaurant! Help! Ran is still waiting for me! —Conan]

Conan is in a terrible situation.

He invited Xiaolan to dinner at the Lookout Restaurant, and also remembered Zheng Yi's instructions to greet Zheng Yi's friend.

Although the friend of Brother Zheng Yi looked a little strange when he saw him representing Brother Zheng Yi to celebrate their celebration, he still said a few polite words.

After saying hello.

The murder occurred while he was having dinner with Xiaolan and preparing to have some private conversations.

Moreover, the deceased was a business friend of the top leader.

He naturally couldn't ignore it.

However, after solving the case, he turned back into Conan, leaving Ran alone at the dining table.

Because Conan has already been taken to America.

So if it appears now, it will make Xiaolan suspicious.

By leaving without a word, leaving Ran alone, Conan felt that Shinichi Kudo might die.

Most importantly, he lost the vouchers in his pocket.

This restaurant is not cheap.

Xiaolan might not be able to afford it.

Shiho didn't care about the trouble Conan was in; all she saw was that he had turned back into Conan.

She raised her hand and looked at it.

So, she'll turn back to normal too?
Zheng Yi said, "You ate a little later than him, so you should be able to turn back tomorrow."

Shoichi patted Shiho's head again, just like he would pat Ai's.

Shiho slapped Shoichi's hand away. Seeing that Shiho was in a bad mood, Shoichi comforted her:
“It’s alright. Even if you never find a cure for permanent recovery, I will still raise you,” Zheng Yi said.

"hehe."

Xiao Ai gave a cold laugh.

She was well aware of Zheng Yi's sinister intentions in not wanting her to recover.

If he doesn't recover, he'll have to retire ten years later, and that bastard Zheng Yi will be able to exploit him for another ten years.

She wouldn't let that bastard have his way.

"Did you two fight again?" Mingmei came out of the bathroom and dried her hair with a towel.

Looking at the two of them with confusion, the younger sister's expression was not good, as if Zheng Yi was teasing her again.

Without saying a word, Shiho went over and hugged Akemi.

Mingmei was somewhat flattered.

"Sister, I have to leave again," Shiho said.

"what?"

Akemi blinked.

He glanced at Zheng Yi, whose face was beaming with joy, and his younger sister, whose expression was one of sadness.

"Is the antidote you're researching about to become ineffective?" Mingmei asked tentatively.

Shiho nodded heavily.

Zheng Yi asked, "Shall we go eat?"

Shiho looked at Masakazu and asked, "Why do you have a key to my sister's house?"

Zheng Yi blinked.

Because I bought this villa, and your sister is my tenant.

Zheng Yi said, "You'd better hurry up and think about what you want to do with Shiho Miyano's identity, and enjoy your last moments..."

"Shut up!" Shiho said, annoyed.

What you said is really unpleasant.

……

At the observation restaurant.

Conan hid under the table, secretly watching Ran, who was fidgeting.

It's over. It's over.

Shinichi Kudo is definitely going to die.

No matter the reason, it doesn't work.

The next time we meet will surely be the day Shinichi Kudo dies.

"Brother Zhengyi, please help me!"

Conan kept looking at his phone.

The email has been sent for quite some time now, why hasn't Zheng Yi Ge replied yet?
You must not have missed it.

Conan sent another message.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no reply.

Oh no, is Brother Zhengyi already asleep?

Conan crawled out from under the table, sneaked into the bathroom, and dialed his mother's number.

"Mom, give me some money."

"Didn't I just give you a lot?" Yukiko Kudo said, dissatisfied.

She has already done her best to support Conan's research into an antidote.

But you're asking for money way too often.

If this continues, she'll have to consider returning to China to make a comeback.

"Because the drug development has entered the final stage, and medicines that can temporarily restore the body have been produced."

"The next stage of research and development will require more money," Conan said.

He was too embarrassed to ask for money to pay for Xiaolan's bill.

"Okay, I'll give it to you." Yukiko said helplessly, "I'll transfer it to your bank card tomorrow."

"Is it okay now? It's very urgent," Conan said.

“Okay, I’ll give it to you right away,” Yukiko said.

She was truly at her wit's end.

Developing an antidote would be too expensive; Kudo Yusaku can no longer afford to support his son.

"I'll come back to see you in a while," Yukiko said.

"Huh? Why?" Conan asked, puzzled.

I'm doing well in Japan, you don't need to come back.

"Because my son spends too much money, I'm going back to Japan to make a comeback and earn money to support you."
