Ai Haibara was right across from him, watching!

Fortunately, Hiroshige Kusaka was in high spirits and kept talking to Kogoro Mouri, which prevented the conversation from getting awkward.

"To be honest, I was writing a proposal for a TV series set on a luxury cruise ship, and I met Minamiko through an interview."

Hiroshige Kusaka spoke eloquently, "Mr. Mori, you must have been invited here, right? Or are you here to investigate a case?"

"No... how should I put this...?"

Kogoro Mouri didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Actually, he usually only attends these kinds of banquets at the invitation of Sonoko Suzuki.

But in fact, the person who could have invited him was his good disciple, Suzuki Yusuke, but the kid never did.

If it weren't for the fact that Suzuki Yusuke's usual behavior showed him respect as his teacher, he would have suspected that his student had a problem with him.

All things considered, perhaps Suzuki Yusuke is just careless and lazy, which is why he leaves all these kinds of things to his younger sister?

Seeing that the clueless detective was still stammering, Ran Mouri simply took the initiative to explain.

When the identity of the Suzuki Group's heiress was revealed, Hironari Kusaka was clearly taken aback.

This performance naturally did not escape Yusuke Suzuki's notice.

This kid will make a move against Sonoko later; he remembers that part of the plot.

It doesn't matter, he'll take care of it when the time comes.

"Mr. Suzuki, so you're the president of EW Corporation?"

At that moment, Minako Akiyoshi suddenly spoke to him softly.

Yusuke Suzuki nodded without changing his expression and said, "Hmm, what's wrong? Does my company have any artists that Ms. Minami likes?"

"I guess so. Although I'm not a fan of celebrities, I quite like the songs released by your company."

Minako Akiyoshi gently swirled the liquid in her glass, a slight smile playing on her lips, gesturing for a toast.

The two took a small sip of their drink, and the conversation ended there.

After a brief analysis, Suzuki Yusuke concluded that the other person was just chatting with him casually and there was no deeper meaning behind it.

It's not good not to overthink it, after all, this woman is cunning and scheming. At least the organization's young phoenix, Chianti, is no match for her. That crazy woman's supposedly amazing sniping skills are also half-baked and utterly useless.

His conversation had ended, but the three little ones started chatting with Hiroshige Kusaka again, asking him what story he was writing.

As soon as Suzuki Yusuke turned his head back, he saw Haibara Ai leaning back in her chair, saying leisurely, "It might be a disaster like the Titanic, sinking on its maiden voyage."

Hmm...it's still the familiar Ai Haibara.

He cleared his throat, intending to start a lecture, but hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Professor Agasa and gave him a meaningful glance.

As it turned out, Professor Agasa was also giving him a meaningful look.

Professor Agasa: Why do I need to show up here?

Yusuke Suzuki: It would be more appropriate for you to speak first.

The two communicated quickly, and Professor Agasa swiftly compromised, "Ai, don't talk nonsense."

"Yes, I'm sorry."

Ai Haibara apologized directly.

Although Kogoro Mouri was a little intimidated by Minami Akiyoshi, he naturally had to make amends now that Ai Haibara had said something wrong and caused an awkward silence. After all, Ai Haibara was not like that brat Conan.

The bumbling detective's mind worked quickly, immediately drawing the conversation back to the accidental sinking of the eighth-generation merchant ship on an iceberg many years ago, and continuing the topic.

With Ai Haibara's words preceding them, and considering the Yashiro Group's history of shipwrecks, the three children immediately thought about what would happen if the ship sank.

Yusuke Suzuki felt that these people were making a fuss over nothing, and reassured them, "Don't worry, you've been through building bombings, terrorist attacks, plane crashes... and so many murder cases. What are you afraid of about a ship sinking?"

Everyone: "..."

Okay...that seems to make sense.

Hironari Kusaka and Minami Akiyoshi: "..."

Your lives seem a bit too colorful.

After chatting for a while, several more groups of people arrived one after another.

Former prime ministers, popular celebrities...

"Aren't those the Rei sisters?!" Kogoro Mori stammered, "Their figures are still as hot as ever."

His mouth was practically watering, his gaze unwavering, but his words were aimed directly at his protégé, "Yusuke, speaking of which, the Li sisters are also artists in your company, right? What are they like in private? Are they the super mature, glamorous, and sophisticated type?"

Are they artists from EW Entertainment?

Yusuke Suzuki muttered something under his breath, instantly earning a barrage of eye rolls.

The three boys immediately complained, "Brother Yusuke, do you really go to the company usually?"

“Of course I’ve been there,” Ai Haibara retorted immediately. “Yusuke-nii just doesn’t get involved in managing the artists much.”

Ayumi shrank back, "Ai-chan is so protective of Yusuke-nii..."

Ai Haibara then disconnected.

Just then, the captain came over and asked if she was satisfied with the service on board, thus rescuing Ai Haibara from the spotlight.

As soon as the captain left, the food was served.

In such situations, one should be more refined, and Yusuke Suzuki was quite restrained.

At this moment, Sonoko Suzuki also mentioned that Ran Mouri had won the Kanto Karate Championship.

Everyone naturally offered their congratulations.

Sonoko Suzuki sneakily approached her best friend and asked, "Ran, did Kudo give you any gifts?"

"Shinichi?"

Ran Mouri blushed instantly and stammered, "I called him about it, and he just said, 'Really? That's great.'"

"Is that all?"

"That detective is probably busy investigating some case again."

Conan, who had always been invisible, was completely dumbfounded.

Hey! He clearly said so much on the phone...so much...In short, he wasn't just going through the motions!

However, he could understand the blush on Ran Mouri's face.

After all, it's still a secret relationship.

Xiaolan didn't want to cause him unnecessary trouble, and he himself couldn't properly stay by her side as her boyfriend for the time being.

After finishing his meal, Kogoro Mouri, as usual, fell into a drunken stupor, turning into a red-faced Guan Yu.

After grumbling a few times, Ran Mouri looked at Yusuke Suzuki and said, "Yusuke-nii, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

“It’s alright,” Suzuki Yusuke said, supporting his teacher and kicking Conan’s butt. “Go open the door.”

"Know it......"

Conan only dared to curse in his heart.

Chapter 608 Crisis Resolved

After settling Kogoro Mouri in, Yusuke Suzuki returned to his room.

A familiar single suite.

"How did you come?"

Yusuke Suzuki was a little surprised to see Ai Haibara wearing cute pajamas.

Ai Haibara had already said that she refused to sleep with him.

It's not like they're trying to avoid each other like before; everyone knows about their close relationship.

My wife's reason was that she needed to recapture the feeling she had before the trip.

So I'm still afraid something might happen.

Sigh... My wife is starting to distrust me, and I'm heartbroken.

However, I did go a bit too crazy at night during that trip.

Ai Haibara walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. "If I don't come and chat with you, I'd be too irresponsible as your future wife. I need to make sure you're mentally healthy at all times."

"I think you want to ask me when I should give the gift to Xiaolan."

Yusuke Suzuki's gaze swept across Ai Haibara's face, and he easily guessed her little scheme.

Ai Haibara's voice faltered, a little embarrassed.

Seen through.

However, she quickly regained her composure and moved a little closer. "That was just a side thing, okay, Yusuke? Let me massage your shoulders."

“Okay,” Suzuki Yusuke lay down and casually pointed to two spots. “Here, use more force.”

10 seconds later.

Yusuke Suzuki continued, his hands moving without pause. "How's it going? Has my massage technique improved?"

“Not bad,” Ai Haibara said languidly, lying on the bed. “A little further down, Yusuke, the children are also preparing gifts for Ran now. Do you think I should give them to them together, or give them to her separately?”

"They're pretty much the same, no need to overthink it. You know Xiaolan's personality."

"Okay... I'll just give it to her later."

"Later?"

"Hmm, I'm going to sleep with Ran and Sonoko again. They're both beautiful young women, Yusuke, aren't you jealous?"

"You are all I need."

"Hmph, sweet talk."

"Then I'll go see Sister Li tonight."
