Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 3851 The Superior

Rum was stunned for a moment, looking at Chi Feichi's calm but indisputable expression, he felt that he had fallen into a lower position in the conversation, but thinking that Chi Feichi was qualified to inherit the Wuhuan family after all, he did not feel aggrieved or unwilling in his heart, and nodded in response, "I understand!"

"Find some time to get an eye checkup in the near future, focusing on the nerve necrosis in the injured eye, and then email the report to me," Chi Feichi continued. "Although there are not many restrictions on that kind of regeneration method, and most human nerves can regenerate, I'd still like to take a look at the condition of your eye, so I can be more confident."

In fact, there is no need for any examination report. He is very confident that he can cure Rum's eye. On the other hand, if he cannot cure Rum's eyes using the energy of the altar, those examination reports will be of no use.

But he always had to do some symbolic preparations to reassure Rum.

Rum nodded again and said thoughtfully, "Then, when that person's lunch break is over, I will tell him about our conversation and ask for leave to have a detailed eye examination. If there are no special circumstances, I can send you the report within three days. What do you think?"

"As for the time, you can arrange it yourself. I can do it anytime."

After Chi Feichi finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the cabinet against the wall. He reached out and picked up the TV remote control on the cabinet and pressed the start button on the TV.

Rum probably doesn't know yet that his grandfather has another candidate for successor in mind.

In Rum's opinion, he would be his grandfather's heir, so whether it was helping him understand the situation of the Karasuma family or taking care of his grandfather, it was actually Rum's job.

In other words, the conditions he proposed to Rum today were like saying to his own secretary, "You organize the information well, and I will give you a bonus later." This was not only not embarrassing the other party, it was not even an additional request. Together with the "bonus" he promised, it was a reward and encouragement.

He wanted Rum to think like this: the requests made by the young master are all the things I want to do now or in the future. Even if the young master didn't mention it, I would do it. Therefore, the young master raised these things today, probably not to get something, but to see my work attitude. As long as I make the young master think that I am reliable enough, he is willing to give me the reward of "eye treatment".

In this world, only those in a higher position who control a large amount of resources have the ability and right to reward those below them.

As long as Rum accepts his conditions, Rum will put himself in a position to be scrutinized and wait for rewards.

The best result he wanted to achieve today was to make Rum psychologically willing to accept that he was in a superior position. The secondary goal was to exchange something from Rum.

Therefore, even if his grandfather did not agree with Rum telling him all the information about the Karasuma family, as long as Rum put himself in a lower position psychologically when interacting with him in the future, and once Rum got used to putting him in a higher position, he would still help Rum heal his eyes.

As for whether his grandfather would agree to Rum telling him all about the Karasuma family so that he could gain more today...

He couldn't come to a conclusion yet.

It just so happened that he could take advantage of today's communication with Rum to test his grandfather's bottom line.

If his grandfather did not agree with Rum telling him all the information about the Karasuma family, it meant that his grandfather probably still wanted to hand over the Karasuma family to another heir.

He didn't care who that person was, nor did he have to compete with the other party. It's just that the Karasuma family and he have such a deep connection. Just like his grandfather said before, the blood bond between them cannot be severed. Even if both of them are unwilling to admit this blood relationship, there will always be people who regard them as a whole and vent their hatred from one side to the other. Therefore, his grandfather may not give him the management rights of the Karasuma family in the future, but he must have a thorough understanding of the Karasuma family, so that when the development direction of the Karasuma family threatens his safety, when the enemies of the Karasuma family may implicate him because of the Karasuma family, he will be able to respond in time.

He didn't care whether it was a desire for control or something else...anything that might affect his life and survival, he wanted to keep it firmly in his own hands no matter what!

If his grandfather was unwilling to cooperate with him and unwilling to make a decent decision for everyone, then he... he certainly would not kill his grandfather. He did not want to see the old man who smiled at him whenever he saw him die. It was just that by then, he might have to do something that would make his grandfather unhappy.

…

As Chi Feichi pressed the button on the TV remote control, the TV was turned on.

When Rum saw Chi Feichi leave his seat to do other things, he knew what Chi Feichi meant - the previous topic could come to an end. He did not drag Chi Feichi to talk about the previous topic anymore. He picked up the cup and drank tea, digesting the information he got from Chi Feichi today, and thinking about what he should do next and to what extent he should do it.

Chi Feichi returned to the coffee table and sat down. He adjusted the volume with the TV remote control to make sure it was neither too loud nor too low, and then started changing channels with the remote control.

"There will be light rain in the Tokyo area over the next two days..."

"Hahaha, Kamen Rider, you are doomed to lose..."

"Next, let's invite our second guest..."

Rum noticed that Chi Feichi kept changing channels, so he took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything you want to watch?"

Chi Feichi continued to change channels with the remote control and explained, "Mr. Maori will be participating in a program on Osaka Nichimi TV today. Osaka is very close to Kyoto. I want to confirm whether he is staying in Osaka well, and whether he will not participate in the program due to an accident and suddenly come to Kyoto to find me."

Rum looked at the TV screen and murmured thoughtfully, "The famous detective Kogoro is sleeping..."

After changing the channel again, the live broadcast of Osaka Nichimi TV finally appeared on TV.

In the program, the host stood in front of the camera with a serious expression. Behind him was a burning and smoking building, passers-by standing on the roadside looking at the building, and groups of police and firefighters going into the building.

"Three minutes ago, an explosion occurred in the Nichimi TV building in Osaka. It seems that the explosion warning sent to the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters was not a joke. Someone sent the explosion warning to the Osaka Prefectural Police and detonated a bomb in the TV building according to the warning. Fortunately, the TV station organized the evacuation of personnel in time. Before the explosion occurred in the building, everyone in the building had been evacuated. There are currently no injuries..."

Before the host could finish his words, the shouts of firefighters were heard nearby.

"Sure enough, there are two more people..."

"There's someone here! Hurry and bring the stretcher over here!"

The host swallowed back the words "no casualties" and said, "There was a little accident at the scene. Maybe someone was accidentally hit by the falling cement blocks when the explosion happened just now..."

When the photographer turned the camera to the bushes on the other side of the TV station building, he captured the figures of Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and the three children Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi standing in the crowd.

Not long after the medical staff rushed over with a stretcher, Maori Kogoro and four others also ran to the stretcher. Because the distance was a bit far, the camera did not capture the specific situation, and it was soon blocked by the figures of the firefighters approaching.

"The building exploded..." Rum couldn't help but ask, "This shouldn't be a show that Detective Maori would participate in, right?"
