Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

"Ai, why are you so emotional?"

Hongye looked at Xiao Ai strangely.

Ai is usually calm and composed, and her favorite line is "boring." She is only interested in bags and Harley motorcycles.

At this moment, it's like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

Xiao Ai remained silent, only continuing to hit Zheng Yi with her pillow.

The soft down pillow was utterly harmless, pounding against Zheng Yi's body and face again and again, like a massage.

Ai got angrier the more she thought about it.

Is she going to tell Momiji that the "unit of measurement" Masashi mentioned refers to her and her sister, Akemi Miyano?

The thought of herself becoming a unit of measurement in Zheng Yi's mouth made Xiao Ai's anger rise higher and higher.

The more she thought about it, the more force Ai used when she hit Shoichi.

Hongye stared blankly at the two of them bickering, not understanding why Xiao Ai was reacting so strongly.

But for the sake of family harmony, she had no choice but to join the fray.

She grabbed a cushion from the sofa and, imitating Ai, stood on the same side as Ai, helping her smash Zheng Yi.

"Could it be that he spent a billion yen to keep a pair of sisters as mistresses?" Hongye asked suspiciously as she smashed the things.

This seems to be the most reasonable explanation at present.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Ai is so angry.

Ai's hand froze, and the pillow she threw tilted slightly.

Then, she hit Zheng Yi with even more ferocity, as if she were treating him as her husband's killer.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zheng Yi, surrounded by two girls, could only lie on the sofa pretending to be dead, but he still readily admitted, "I also support my family. They provide food and lodging, and have five social insurances and one housing fund. What great benefits!"

No sooner had he spoken than he was met with two pillows smeared on his face at the same time.

"Go to hell you!"

Ai was engrossed in her fight when she suddenly realized that there was no sound around her.

She turned her head and saw that Hongye seemed to understand what was going on.

Hongye slowly put down the pillow in her hand, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

She glanced at Ai, who was panting heavily and had a flushed face, and then at Shoichi, who was lying motionless on the sofa. Her eyes darted back and forth between the two of them.

"Ai..." Koyo leaned close to Ai's ear and whispered, "The twin sisters that Masakazu mentioned, are they you?"

As she spoke, Hongye winked at Xiao Ai.

Ai Haibara's violent beating of Masakazu finally stopped.

Her face stiffened, and she forced out a few words through gritted teeth: "How is that possible!"

"Is it really impossible?" Hongye smiled and reached out to tug at Xiao Ai's puffed-up face.

"But you really do have an older sister. Twin beauties~ And Zheng Yi even mentioned an organization~"

Wow, that really suits Ai Haibara!

Hongye picked up Xiao Ai and looked her over from left to right, up to down.

How can this little thing be worth a billion yen?

Ai felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by Momiji.

She struggled for a moment, but to no avail, and could only give up resisting, letting Hongye do as she pleased.

Koyo said with a smile, "Oh my, so our Ai is being kept by Shoichi? Ten billion yen, that's really... a big deal."

"No way!" Ai's face turned even redder: "That's just your wild guess! Masakazu was annoyed, so he just admitted it out of desperation!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Hongye dragged out the sound, with an "I understand, I understand" expression on her face.

“Shoichi has already admitted it, so stop being stubborn. Ten billion yen, Ai, you’re such a valuable little darling.”

Ai remained silent, but then picked up a pillow and hit Zheng Yi in the face.

Hongye glanced at Ai, then at Masakazu.

They even have twin sisters.

It seems that there is also a room belonging to Akemi Miyano in the Masashi family.

Lost in her thoughts, Hongye rubbed Ai's cheeks even harder.

She looked at Ai and said, "Since you're being kept by Masakazu, then forget about the Harley-Davidson motorcycle I promised you."

She glanced at Zheng Yi, narrowed her eyes, and said, "After all, you have other sugar daddies."

Before she finished speaking, Hongye reached out her hands and gently cupped Ai's cheeks.

"Well……"

Before Ai could protest, she felt her cheek being enveloped by a warm palm.

Immediately afterwards, Hongye gently squeezed her fingers together towards the center.

The already chubby, youthful face instantly deformed between the fingers.

Ai's lips were forced into a pout, like a goldfish blowing bubbles, and her eyes widened slightly due to the pressure on her cheeks, making her look adorably innocent.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it feels so good."

Hongye's hands didn't stop; instead, they gently kneaded and pulled along the contours of her cheeks.

Looking at Ai's angry but speechless expression, her smile deepened.

"It feels so comfortable to touch. No wonder Zheng Yi was willing to spend a billion to snatch this girl."

As Hongye spoke, she became increasingly aggressive.

Ai was humiliated by the abuse she suffered.

And that bastard Zheng Yi spent a whopping 1 billion!

She was taken in by Shoichi; of the 1 billion yen her sister stole, a significant portion was embezzled by Shoichi.

He not only didn't spend any money, he actually made money!
Moreover, Hongye, you actually broke your promise! The motorcycle you promised me is gone just like that!
Xiao Ai was extremely indignant and felt like an innocent girl being teased by a rich woman with a perverse sense of humor. She felt that her patience had reached its limit.

"Stop bullying Ai!" Masaya couldn't stand it anymore and rescued Ai from Momiji's grasp.

But Ai doesn't seem to appreciate it.

When Masakazu pinched Ai's cheek, Ai resisted strongly.

“It’s just a motorcycle. If Hongye won’t buy it for you, I will,” Zhengyi said.

Ai's resistance paused for a moment.

If you're going to buy me a car, I might be willing to put up with it for now.

She has a lot of experience in being patient and restrained.

When Zheng Yi first took her in, she was very good at enduring hardship.

Zheng Yi smiled and said, "I'll take you to buy a children's motorcycle tomorrow."

“You’re even worse than Momiji,” Ai said.

Who wants to buy a children's motorcycle?

Shoichi was very saddened by Ai's words.

How could you say that about me?

Seeing that Shoichi was still looking aggrieved, Ai angrily bit the hand that was rubbing her face.

"Let go! Let go!"

"Waaaaah!"

“If you don’t let go, I’ll bite you too,” Zheng Yi said.

Ai still wouldn't budge, so Masakazu decided to retaliate.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that Zheng Yi was about to kiss her, Hongye quickly stepped in to stop them, reaching out to separate their heads.

"Are you children?" Hongye scolded the two of them, "You even bite people, how old are you?"

Hongye held Xiao Ai in her arms, keeping a good distance from Zheng Yi.

Xiao Ai, nestled in Hongye's arms, gave Zheng Yi a cold snort. ...

It was evening, just after dinner.

After Momiji's mediation, Shoichi forgave Ai, and Ai also temporarily forgave Shoichi.

Because Masakazu promised that he would pay for Ai's motorcycle.

Ai Haibara also promised to give Shoichi a few character creation coupons, and Ai Haibara would not resist when Shoichi used the coupons to create his character's face.

Zheng Yi was initially very happy, but after receiving a phone call, his mood immediately soured.

He was actually dismissed from his position by the boss, who then called Gin back.

Hongye sat on a single sofa, flipping through a fashion magazine, ignoring Zhengyi's wailing.

Ai sat cross-legged on the carpet, hugging a pillow, looking at Shoichi with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"I refuse to accept this! I really refuse to accept this!"

"I worked diligently for the organization, getting up early and working late every day, wholeheartedly serving the organization, but what was the result?"

Ai rolled her eyes at these words.

Working from dawn till dusk?

They were indeed incredibly greedy.

Masaru turned around, looking at Momiji and Ai with a face full of grief and indignation, as if he had suffered a great injustice: "They treated me like trash, using me and then throwing me away. It's only been a few days, and I've already been dismissed! That Gin who only knows how to kill and set fires is back! Is there any justice in this world? Is there any law in this world?"

Ai yawned, feeling that Shoichi was having a bit too much screen time.

The organization also upholds fairness and the law.

Moreover, it's perfectly normal for you to be removed from your post. If you continue to act recklessly, the organization will really be doomed.

Even if Gin were put in charge, the organization would still be doomed.

Zheng Yi became more and more agitated as he spoke, even standing up and pacing back and forth in the living room, as if he were denouncing the treacherous officials in power.

Ai yawned and asked boredly, "You embezzled so much money, won't the organization come after you?"

"What trouble are you looking for?" Zheng Yi said. "My bills are so well done, why would you want to cause me trouble?"

Zheng Yi didn't care at all.

Would the organization dare to deliberately cause him trouble?

Does that organization still want to operate in Japan?

"What about Gin? He'll probably cause you trouble, right?" Ai asked again.

"He might be." Zheng Yi nodded.

Gin, that stingy guy, will definitely cause trouble for me, but I'm not afraid.

He has the support of traitors and undercover agents, so he's not afraid of Gin.

Look at Gin now, there's hardly anyone who can use it anymore.

Cohen and Pisco are still in the hospital, Vodka is just a driver, Bourbon is an undercover agent, and Vermouth is a double agent. Who is he using?
"Ah~"

Zheng Yi sighed, seemingly lamenting the decline of talent within the organization.

He didn't expect to be dismissed so quickly.

He was originally planning to fill the organization with talent, so he sourced them from the police and the FBI.

The undercover agents there are highly qualified, capable, and diligent. Unlike Vermouth, they are not traitors and are a veritable talent pool.

Unfortunately, before he could take any action, Gin returned.

Gin, that guy, what can he do besides kill? He's completely incapable of recruiting talent, and the organization has gradually weakened under his leadership.

It's all so painful to see.

"Can you say something I can understand?" Hongye put down the magazine in her hand and looked at the two of them with a frustrated expression.

She was right there, but she couldn't understand anything, making her seem like an outsider.

Ai walked to Momiji's side, lifted her toes and patted Momiji's head, saying with a heavy expression:

"These things are too dark for you to know."

Hongye's lips twitched.

Seeing Ai looking like this, I really want to hug her and bully her.

Unfortunately, Ai knew what Momiji was thinking, so she touched him and ran far away, not giving Momiji a chance to take advantage.

After dodging the red leaves, Ai looked at Masakazu and asked, "Are you going to have some free time again?"

Zheng Yi nodded.

"Then can you take care of the company's affairs?" Ai asked.

Thinking of her older sister who was always working overtime, Ai wanted to knock Masakazu's head.

"Sigh~ Let your sister hang in there a little longer." Masahiro assured Ai, "At most next year, I'll hire a professional manager, and then your sister will be free."

"Really?" Ai asked.

“Only a puppy lies,” Zheng Yi said.

Ai sneered, showing no trust in Masakazu.

Being a puppy or something shouldn't be too hard for Zheng Yi to accept, right?
"Hey, trust me, I do keep my word sometimes." Zheng Yi patted Xiao Ai's head.

Ai squinted as Shoichi's large hand pressed down on her, and said noncommittally, "You said it yourself, it's 'sometimes'."

But in the end, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Zheng Yi has finally given the deadline.

It seems my sister's suffering won't last much longer.

With her mood improving, Ai ran over to Momiji and they started looking at magazines together.

Zheng Yi, however, was not in a good mood.

He's actually not tired of managing organizations yet; he's still very interested in it.

However, the boss misjudged him and removed him from his position, causing Zheng Yi to experience a setback in his career for the first time.

He had originally planned many reforms for the organization, intending to make it great again.

Unfortunately, with treacherous officials in power, the reforms ended before they even began. Zhengyi had no choice but to transfer the organization's funds to prevent them from being squandered by these officials. These funds would be the lifeline for the organization in the future when it declines.

Zheng Yi was restless and still wanted to cause trouble.

He called Vermouth.

"What do you think? Should I go and purge the court of corrupt officials now?"

"Are you drinking too much?"

Vermouth's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

She asked suspiciously, "You plan to kill Gin and fight the organization to the death?"

"Ahem, 'Purge the court of corrupt officials' doesn't mean we have to fight to the death," Zheng Yi said.

Vermouth chuckled.

What's the difference between this and a fight to the death?

She wanted to enjoy life and didn't have time to joke around with Zheng Yi. She said directly, "You should go and talk to those undercover agents. Maybe with the help of the police and the FBI, we can really wipe out the organization."

"Never mind, never mind." Zheng Yi shook his head.

If he goes to the police and the FBI, what will he become?

A traitor colluding with outsiders?
Or is he the hero who endures humiliation and hardship, disregards personal safety, infiltrates a transnational criminal organization, gathers information, upholds justice, and ultimately destroys the criminal organization completely?

Oh dear, he's not ready to be a hero yet.

After hanging up the phone with Vermouth, a call was quickly made to Zhengyi's cell phone.

She was a member of the organization and had always admired Zheng Yi's character, willing to serve him faithfully.

"Boss Jundu, the first thing Gin did after he got back was to check the accounts. Won't that put you in trouble?"

"Go ahead and investigate," Zheng Yi said casually.

"I have a clear conscience. If they really find out, I'll let Gin do whatever he wants with me." (End of Chapter)
