A penny stumps the hero.

Although the house is hers, utilities like water, electricity, and gas are still a huge expense.

"Wait a minute, you don't mean you want to hire us to investigate the threats Princess Wakana is facing, do you?"

Narumi Akiko looked at Shen Wuyue with suspicion.

Meanwhile, Philip, standing nearby, looked at Narumi Akiko with a scrutinizing gaze upon hearing her words.

"No, no, you're both wrong."

Shen Wuyue shook her head.

"The reason I brought Wakana here this time is not because of what happened to her just now."

"I've come to find you, Philip!"

Shen Wuyue looked at the young man in front of her with a strange smile on her face.

That smile made Philip feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"As for my case, I need that half-baked detective here before I can talk to you about it."

Shen Wuyue wore a mysterious smile.

This situation made Philip look somewhat suspicious.

"I don't know what you're up to, but I don't have time to entertain you!"

Philip snorted and turned to leave.

"Philip, could you investigate the incident where Princess Wakana was threatened?"

I have a feeling that something is wrong.

Also, we must act quickly this time. If we let that guy Shen Wuyue get involved in this matter, I'm afraid it will end up like this..."

Philip had just turned around when he heard Shotaro's anxious voice coming from outside.

As he spoke these words, Shotaro pushed open the door and came in from outside.

However, after he pushed the door open and just hung up his hat, he saw a man and a woman looking at him with ambiguous smiles.

"You're a half-baked amateur, what do you think will happen in the end...?"

Shen Wuyue looked at Shotaro with a smile in her eyes.

It seemed like he really wanted to hear what else this guy was planning to say!

"Shen Wuyue, what are you doing here!"

When Shotaro saw Shen Wuyue grinning at him, he almost jumped up.

He stared at Shen Wuyue, unable to understand why he was there.

"What?! What's going on?!"

Shen Wuyue smiled, seemingly enjoying his surprised expression.

"I've come here as a guest, so don't you welcome guests?"

Shen Wuyue shrugged intimidation.

His words immediately darkened Shotaro's face.

"We need to consider what kind of guests come here. Shen Wuyue, you're not welcome here!"

Shotaro is still in pain!

The two of them were enemies.

Moreover, Shen Wuyue had almost killed him before.

Coming to their door at this time seems like a provocation.

"Oh dear, as a detective, you're actually turning away someone who needs your help?"

Does doing this truly make me a disciple of Narumi-sensei?

Shen Wuyue directly mocked Shotaro for what he cared about most.

Sure enough, after Shen Wuyue finished speaking, Shotaro immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

The whole person was furious.

"what!"

However, the consequence of doing so was a scream of agony from him.

Shotaro clutched his stomach, his face turning pale and pained.

"It seems your injuries haven't fully healed yet."

However, your physique really surprises me.

"You were almost beaten to death before, how come you're still jumping around here? What did you eat to grow up like that?"

Shen Wuyue's eyes held a hint of mockery.

He hadn't expected that Shotaro's recovery ability would be so strong.

This has surpassed human capabilities.

Even if it's a memory he's used for a long time, it doesn't mean he can recover so quickly.

Could it be that……

Is there anyone helping Shotaro?

Looking at Shotaro's current state, Shen Wuyue had a guess in her mind.

"You guy!"

Shotaro looked pained, glaring at Shen Wuyue as if he wanted to fight her right then and there.

“Shotaro, Shen Wuyue said he came here because he really has a request to give us.”

Seeing Shotaro like this, Akiko Narumi immediately went forward to help him up.

Although she usually acts carefree, we're still friends, so we can't just stand by and watch.

"What kind of requests could this guy possibly have?"

Shotaro didn't believe it.

"You don't want to believe the truth, and you won't listen to lies."

You're such a half-baked fool, so hard to please. If I really harbored any hostility towards you, you would all be dead just now.

Shen Wuyue gave a cold laugh.

Shotaro was completely judging others by his own petty standards.

Of course, Shen Wuyue himself was not a true gentleman either. He did have important business to discuss with Philip this time.

"Then tell me!"

Shotaro's eyes flickered, and he finally said helplessly.

"Before I finish speaking, there is one more thing I need to explain."

At this moment, Shen Wuyue suddenly said something else.

"You fool me?"

For some reason, Shotaro couldn't control his temper when he looked at Shen Wuyue.

"Playing you for fun? I have no interest in that."

Shen Wuyue glanced at Shotaro, then completely ignored him.

"The first thing I wanted to do here was to let Philip know who I am."

Shen Wuyue's words startled Philip.

For some reason, after hearing these words, Philip, who was originally planning to leave, also held back.

"What did you say?"

Shotaro found it strange that Shen Wuyue said that.

"Shotaro, aren't you curious why your master saved Philip?"

Shen Wuyue's sudden remark left Shotaro completely bewildered.

Meanwhile, Akiko Narumi, who was standing nearby, heard about her father and widened her eyes like a curious child.

"Let me put it this way: the reason Philip is called Philip is because it was given to him by Narumi Shokichi."

But Philip, do you know what your original name was?

Shen Wuyue looked at the boy in front of her, and then glanced at Sono D Wakana, who had been silent since entering the house.

"Wakana, you've finally met your brother, why don't you say a word?"

Shen Wuyue held Yuan D Ruocai's hand and spoke slowly.

"younger brother?"
