Conan: Ran, I really am Shinichi, you have to believe me!

Although it may wither and fade away someday, whether long or short, it will leave behind the seeds of your love, the crystallization of your love, and new life will emerge.

Conan, liking is about possession, but love is about giving and protecting. As long as she's doing well, that's enough.

Conan, think about how much blood is on your hands and how many lives you've taken. Is it appropriate for you to let an angel marry a devil like you?

Aren't you afraid of defiling or desecrating the most perfect and flawless angel?

Also, maybe one day, her childhood sweetheart, the Kudo Shinichi she loves, will also die at your hands. You will be her enemy, and you will still be with her. Do you think that's appropriate?

If you truly love her, then protect her from afar; as long as she's happy, that's all that matters.

Hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, Conan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his eyes turned red:

That's right! Love is about protecting, love is about giving!

I love Ran, so as long as Ran is happy and away from the devil, even if I, Shinichi Kudo, die, it will be worth it!

I must protect Xiaolan and never let my beastly brother hurt her!

Even if I can't bring him to justice, I'll do what Sherlock Holmes did: drag him off a cliff to complete our destined duel and perish together!

But if I fail and am no match for him, then I can only choose the lesser of two evils. Even if it benefits an outsider, I cannot let Xiaolan fall into the hands of that devil!

To prevent Ran from being deceived by her beastly brother who looks just like her, she should prepare in advance and make sure Ran no longer blindly trusts people who look like Shinichi Kudo!

At the same time, in order to prevent himself from failing and being killed, being replaced by Black Conan, and hurting Ran, he must now prepare to implement the backup plan!

So, Conan clenched his fist and said as if his heart was bleeding, "Jiang Chengbei, I'll help you!"

"What?" Conan asked abruptly, and Jiang Chengbei didn't understand at first.

But seeing his fists clenched so tightly that his palms were almost bleeding, Jiang Chengbei finally understood what Conan meant and exclaimed in shock, "Really?"

"That's right! Jiang Chengbei, go after Xiaolan, I'll help you!"

My only request is: if I ever go after Xiaolan, you have to kill me!

"Whether I'm your best partner, your best friend, or your best comrade-in-arms, if I get together with Xiaolan, you're going to kill me. Can you do that?!"

Seeing Conan staring at him with his bloodshot eyes, Jiang Chengbei realized that his fabricated "Dark Conan" had truly frightened the real Conan, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"That's not good……"

"Jiang Chengbei, you yourself said that love is sacrifice, love is dedication, and love is protection."

You said it yourself: if a psychopath like me gets together with Xiaolan, it will only hurt her. So I hope you can help me protect her!

"If I ever defile her, you can kill me!"

Seeing Conan's serious expression, Jiang Chengbei could only nod reluctantly.

"No problem, Conan. I didn't expect your love to be so great. I misjudged you before. Don't worry, I will do my best."

Chapter 84 A complete industrial chain: Gin places the order, Conan completes the mission, and Jiang Chengbei collects the money.

After being misled by Jiang Chengbei, Conan, who was obsessed with the idea, almost developed PTSD. In the end, he left Jiang Chengbei's house with a bouquet of roses.

The bouquet of roses also contained a love card with a poem written by Conan and Jiang Chengbei copied and wrote Jiang Chengbei's name on it.

Of course, the flowers were bought by Jiang Chengbei from the system store, and nominally they were a gift from him; Conan was just there to run the errand.

Yes, that's right. After being manipulated by Jiang Chengbei, Conan, who was in a daze, ended up taking on the important task of delivering roses to Ran for Jiang Chengbei.

However, things did not go smoothly, and an accident occurred in the end.

After leaving Jiang Chengbei's apartment building and getting a little further away from him, Conan took a few breaths of fresh air and his mind suddenly cleared.

Then Conan immediately slapped himself, threw the rose on the ground, and angrily stomped on it with his short legs.

Feeling that stomping once wasn't enough, Conan jumped entirely onto the rose, his short legs hopping and stomping with all his might, his little bottom sticking out, all the while cursing himself:

"Shinichi Kudo, you're such an idiot, you green turtle... Why did you help Jiang Chengbei pursue Ran? Why do you think Jiang Chengbei and Ran are a good match?"

What's there to be afraid of about Conan? All he did was scheme against me from behind once and almost kill me! And this is PTSD? You're scared of him?

I, Shinichi Kudo, am not afraid of him! I will fight him to the death! He wants to kill me and take my place? Not so easy!

That's right, I've successfully impersonated him and infiltrated the enemy ranks. I'm not afraid of him. I have the upper hand now, the advantage is on my side, and I will defeat him!

Thinking back to his time at Jiang Chengbei's house, how he had been so obsessed with giving Jiang Chengbei advice, writing love poems for him, and even planning to send him roses—things that would make him feel like he was being cuckolded—Conan, now that he had come to his senses, really wanted to kill himself. He was too ashamed to live anymore.

Seeing the love card on the ground, Conan quickly picked it up and started tearing it apart, cursing himself for being so terrified by that devil Conan that he actually wanted Jiang Chengbei to pursue Ran in order to prevent Ran from falling into Conan's hands after he was killed.

Conan regretted his backup plan, which he had devised at Jiang Chengbei's house, after stepping outside and being hit by a cold wind.

Conan the Devil is not a good person, so we can't let him harm Ran. But Jiang Chengbei is Conan's partner, so how could he be a good person?

My previous idea of ​​"better to befriend a friend than a traitor within the family" was too simplistic.

After venting his frustrations, Conan felt much clearer-headed. He glanced at a small white bird perched on a tree by the roadside watching the scene unfold, but didn't pay much attention. He then quickly boarded a bus and headed towards the Metropolitan Police Department.

Having learned so much about Dark Conan here in Jiangcheng North, he wants to return to the Metropolitan Police Department to reinvestigate the cases of the past few days and see if there is a mastermind behind them. It would be great if he could find any clues about Dark Conan.

Seeing that Conan regained his senses shortly after leaving, and realizing that the roses he had promised to deliver to Ran were now completely trampled, Jiang Chengbei shook his head in disappointment.

The road to PUA Conan is long and arduous; the revolution is not yet complete, and comrades must continue to strive.

Having finally made it to the world of Detective Conan, Jiang Chengbei wouldn't use his own face to pursue Ran; he prefers to be passive.

However, if Conan offers to help, Jiang Chengbei likes to act as a go-between, and out of respect for Conan's sincerity, he can't object and can only passively accept it.

Several hours after Conan left, Jiang Chengbei noticed his phone ringing again in the system inventory. He took it out and lazily asked:

"Gin, what do you want now?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's voice, the person on the other end paused for a moment before coldly saying, "What, it's you again? I'm looking for Daughter's Red wine."

Jiang Chengbei understood what was going on, but instead of explaining, he asked, "Why are you calling my cell phone if you're looking for Nu'erhong?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, Qin Jiu was taken aback again: "This is the phone number that Nu'er Hong left for me."

Having understood Gin's meaning, Jiang Chengbei suppressed a laugh and pretended to be innocent, saying, "That bastard Conan gave my phone number to just anyone, he's so mean."

Gin: "..."

Gin OOC: Daughter Red, I, Gin, have always regarded you as my idol, and you won't even give me your phone number?

The number they gave me when we met last time was fake! I'm so angry!

Jiang Chengbei, unaware of Gin's anger, asked in a calm tone, "Gin, what do you want with Nu'erhong? I'll pass on your message."

"No need, let Nu'erhong answer the phone."

Jiang Chengbei realized that when he talked to Gin, he spoke quite simply and directly. Why did he talk so much nonsense when he talked to Conan before?

If Gin had mind-reading abilities, he would definitely say something like this when faced with Jiang Chengbei's doubts:

Nonsense! A killer who can shoot down 6 military planes with one kick and dares to kill people every day in the Metropolitan Police Department—that's my idol, Gin!

I heard my idol's voice and got excited, so I wanted to say a few more words. What's wrong?

If Conan knew Gin's true feelings at this moment, I wonder if he would be moved to tears:

Gin, who almost killed me before, is now my fan. Should I pamper my fan or kill him?

Jiang Chengbei couldn't understand why Gin talked so much when he was talking to Conan, but he didn't ask any more questions and continued, "He's not here, he's gone."

"Then give me his contact information."

"He gave you my phone number last time, which means he doesn't want to talk to you. Do you think I would go against his wishes and give you his phone number?"

Gin: "..."

Seeing that Gin remained silent, Jiang Chengbei, unaware that Gin was heartbroken that his idol disliked him, impatiently said:

"Gin, what do you want with him? Are you going to tell me or not?"

"I'm hanging up if you don't tell me."

Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei say he was going to hang up, Qin Jiu quickly spoke up:

"I said, 'Please tell Nuerhong that I have prepared the money. Whether he wants cash or a bank transfer, please send me an email and I will have someone deliver it to him immediately.'"

"What money?" Jiang Chengbei asked instinctively before he could react.

"The commission fee, Huadiao, haven't you seen the news? The policeman I asked my daughter Hong to kill has already committed suicide by jumping off a building."

I didn't expect Daughter Red to act so quickly; I need to send him the money.

"Wocao!"

After hearing Gin's words, Jiang Chengbei checked the time on his watch. Conan had only been gone for a few hours, and he had already taken care of him. No wonder he was a Grim Reaper who had a transmigrator president take him to a rival company to eliminate competitors!

Although surprised, Jiang Chengbei quickly calmed himself and said calmly:

"Okay, I'll send you my bank account number right away. You can transfer the money to me later."

"Huadiao, didn't you understand what I said? I want the Nu'erhong account, I want Nu'erhong to send me an email, not yours!"

“Gin, didn’t I tell you that my relationship with Daughter Red is so good that he’s worn the underwear I’ve worn? Giving me the money is no different from giving it to him.”

Also, the reason he didn't give you his phone number is because he doesn't think much of you. Someone like you is someone I'd only bother talking to. I wouldn't even bother with you!

Don't even think about trying to win him over. Let me tell you, your enthusiasm isn't even worth as much as his indifference, so don't humiliate yourself.

"idiot!"

After being mocked by Jiang Chengbei, Qin Jiu angrily hung up the phone immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Gin became angrier and angrier: It was one thing for his idol to call himself "Daughter's Red," but now how come anyone dares to call themselves "Hua Diao"?

Are the names of the drinks they organize so worthless that just anyone can give them?

And they even looked down on him and mocked him. Don't think you're safe just because you've latched onto Nu'erhong!

Thinking of this, Gin had an urge to go to Conan's side, find this guy named Huadiao, and then secretly kill him.

"Let's do it," Gin said, lighting a cigarette.

"Vodka, go and find out who the young man named Huadiao is who's with Nu'erhong. Get me his information as soon as possible."

"Okay, big brother."

Upon hearing his older brother call him, Vodka didn't dare say another word and left with his laptop.

When he left, he was thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to leave his older brother and investigate on his own, and also to investigate that hater named Jiang Chengbei.
