Chapter 81 Strange Things
The inertial impact of Takeda Yuzo's second press of the accelerator caused the people in the car to tumble over once again.
Before Conan could even lift his head from Bai Yexiu's embrace, he was startled by the sudden impact and gasped.
But as he gasped, Conan's eyes widened in disbelief—Ryuzawa smelled of alcohol!
But before he could think about it, a pair of hands pressed on his shoulders and pushed him away. Conan looked up and met Bai Yexiu's pure black eyes, as deep as an abyss.
"Xiao Ke, why are you so eager to throw yourself into my arms? Do you have a crush on me?" Bai Yexiu blinked and said in a teasing tone.
Bai Yexiu's joke caused everyone in the car to burst into laughter, and the panic caused by pressing the accelerator twice just now completely disappeared.
Conan responded to Bai Yexiu with a completely speechless expression.
That guy Longze...
Bai Yexiu looked at Conan and pretended to cover his mouth and laugh.
In fact, what he said just now was merely an attempt to distract Conan. For Byakuya to be in such close proximity to Conan, who was his adversary, was extremely disadvantageous.
He couldn't guarantee that Conan wouldn't accidentally touch the weapons he was hiding on his person. He was currently carrying a palm-sized grenade, three scalpels, and a small bomb.
Moreover, just now, due to the sudden approach of Hattori Heiji and Conan, the little snake Camilla, which had been wrapped around his wrist and had little presence, instinctively tried to slither out and bite Conan. Fortunately, Byakuya Xiu held it down in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
His subconscious told him that he couldn't touch Conan. If Conan discovered his identity and came after him, Bai Yexiu would only have two choices—kill Conan or escape himself.
Given Bai Yexiu's personality, he absolutely couldn't stand the option of escaping. It would be better for him to act alongside Conan and then give Conan a huge surprise at the end. Bai Yexiu was quite happy to act.
He didn't want Ryuzawa's true identity to be exposed, otherwise how would he "play" happily with Conan and the others? How could he openly spy for the organization? Conan would definitely have a position on the red side in the future, and the best thing to do was to infiltrate the red side through Conan, thus increasing the organization's chances of winning.
So that the organization can develop what Bai Yexiu wants more smoothly and without interference.
Just then, Bai Yexiu's phone vibrated unexpectedly. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was elsewhere, he took it out and glanced at it.
[You're in Tottori? Then come see me.]
It was an anonymous email, but Bai Yexiu knew immediately who had sent it.
"Uncle Takeda, I have something to attend to, so I need to get off the bus first..."
……
Bai Yexiu hailed a taxi and drove to the vicinity of "Long Ze's house," where he got out and walked.
Soon a villa came into view.
There's not much in the deep mountains of Tottori, except for villas.
This villa used to be where Byakuya and the boss lived. And a few hundred meters away is the Kuroba family's house, which was sold a few years ago. When Byakuya was a child, he often sneaked out of the villa to play with Kaito.
More than admiring the magnificent villa, Bai Yexiu was curious about why the boss had sought him out.
Before Bai Yexiu could ring the doorbell, the gentle and refined man opened the door first.
"Xiao Xiu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
……
"Why would Father call me back?" Bai Yexiu looked at the man's back, a hint of fanaticism in his eyes that seemed completely out of place.
“Of course, we already have test subjects.” The man, who had his back to Bai Yeshu, took a box from the drawer and turned around. “Although it’s still in the experimental stage.”
"Father is..." Bai Yexiu was stunned.
He originally thought it would take several more years, but he didn't expect that they had already developed a prototype.
With a gentle smile, the man placed a vial containing an unidentified red liquid on the table; the next steps were self-evident.
After a moment of silence, Bai Yexiu suddenly stood up from the sofa and hugged the man in front of him.
The man was very tall; Bai Yexiu only reached his shoulder.
The man smiled and stroked the boy's back in his arms: "With me here, Xiao Xiu will definitely live to be a hundred years old. If Xiao Xiu is afraid of pain, I will apply the needle lightly later."
……
Bai Yexiu left the house with a smile.
But as soon as he closed the door, Bai Yexiu's smile suddenly froze unnaturally for a moment, and then disappeared.
I had a strange feeling in my heart.
Bai Yexiu looked back at the gate with a suspicious gaze, then suddenly remembered that the boss was still inside, and a fanatical expression unconsciously appeared on his face.
When Bai Yexiu came to his senses again, the strange feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
Why would he do that?
What exactly are his feelings for the boss? Why does something always feel off...?
