In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Xia Ye didn't reply, but stood up directly.

However, Vermouth had anticipated his reaction. As he stood up, she grabbed his hand and pulled him down onto her lap.

Of course, Vermouth also understood that Xia Ye had fallen naturally; otherwise, with his strength, she estimated that Xia Ye's body wouldn't even have swayed from the force of her attack.

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to Tottori—"

Xia Ye simply rolled over on the sofa.

With his head resting on Vermouth's lap, he tilted his head back and said softly:

"Find the boss and take him down!"

"Don't make trouble!"

Vermouth lightly slapped his chest, annoyed, and said reproachfully:

"I'll explain everything to you later!"

"Now you just behave yourself and don't go looking for trouble with the BOSS—besides, you can't find him anyway, since he's not even in Tottori!"

"Not in Tottori?"

"Isn't his hometown in Tottori?"

Natsume knew that Bayonetta had a deep relationship with the Boss, but he was still somewhat surprised that the Boss wasn't in Tottori.

After all, whether it was Karasuma Renya's former residence, Twilight Villa, or the BOSS's keypad tones, which were the song "Seven Children," or even the BOSS's email address, which was an address in Tottori Prefecture—yet he wasn't in Tottori at all?

"Of course it's gone~"

Vermouth smiled broadly.

Finally, there's something even Xia Ye doesn't know. It seems the manga he's reading hasn't reached the point where the BOSS's true identity is revealed yet:

"Having your hometown in Tottori doesn't mean you have to stay there forever. Yukiko is from Gunma, but she still lives in Tokyo, doesn't she?"

“That’s true—”

Xia Ye nodded, then asked:

"Then where is he now?"

"Don't tell you!"

Vermouth doesn't know his personality yet?

If I let him know the location of the BOSS, the BOSS probably won't live past tomorrow morning at the latest. How can I tell him that?

"Don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing."

"no!"

Xia Ye unusually refused Vermouth's request:

"I can listen to you about not killing the BOSS, but now that you want to 'retire' and the BOSS won't agree, I'm going to demand an explanation from him!"

"He may indeed be a big capitalist, but we are not just ordinary workers who can be bullied!"

· ····Requesting flowers··· ······

"Then what do you want to do?"

Vermouth could sense Xia Ye's concern for her, and even her tone softened considerably as she gently stroked Xia Ye's face with her slender hand:

"I control half of the organization's intelligence sources, how could the BOSS let me retire so easily?"

"Leave it to me!"

Xia Ye picked up her phone and said with a smile:

"As the saying goes, when the teacher has something to do, the student will do it. I told the boss, 'Give me your work, Sister Bei, and then you won't have to worry about those things!'"

"teacher..."

"You still remember I'm a teacher?"

Vermouth glanced at Xia Ye's hand, which was placed in an inappropriate spot, and gently scolded:

"What kind of student are you? Where are you putting your hands?!"

With Xia Ye's thick skin, she wasn't flustered at all when her secret was exposed; she didn't even take her hand off where it was.

"It's just to warm your hands, it's perfectly normal!"

"Haha~"

Vermouth couldn't be bothered with him. It was just touching and groping; he wouldn't listen anyway, so she just let him be. However—

"Your idea is pretty good, but aren't you always afraid of trouble? Why are you so enthusiastic this time?"

"Of course it's for you, Sister Bei!" Xia Ye smiled slightly: "Sister Bei is devoted to me, and I have no way to repay her, so I can only do my utmost to repay her!"

"At least you still have a conscience!"

Vermouth's resistance was clearly not completely immune to Xia Ye's sweet words, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on her pretty face.

He then lowered his head and kissed Xia Ye on the cheek, saying:

"This is your reward~"

"This reward isn't enough!"

Xia Ye's lips curled up, "Although I didn't originally want a reward, since you're going to give me one, a kiss that doesn't even count as a real kiss won't be enough to satisfy me!"

.. ...... ....

"Then what do you want?"

Vermouth's beautiful eyes were like water. Since Xia Ye was so considerate of her, why couldn't she give him the kind of reward he was most looking forward to?

"Come here with your ears!"

"Mysterious!"

Vermouth lowered her head again, bringing her crystal-clear ear close to Xia Ye's lips. However, after hearing what reward Xia Ye wanted, she scolded him playfully:

"Has Xizi?"

"You really are as shameless as ever!"

"and--"

Vermouth's gaze fell on Eri and Ran, who had been quietly observing the conversation since she and Natsume started talking about the BOSS:

"Have you guys not had enough of this kind of game yet?"

"Chris!" Eri pinched Vermouth playfully, annoyed, "Why are you dragging Ran and me into your flirting?"

Besides, how could Xia Ye possibly have enough?

Judging from his "perverted" behavior every time, he'll probably never get enough of playing around with this in his lifetime!

“Even if I don’t make a fuss, you guys will make one too—” Vermouth pinched Natsume’s cheek with her slender fingers and laughed, “This time it was me and Yukiko, next time it might be you and Yukiko, do you think this guy will let you off the hook?”

"..."

Eri Kisaki thought Vermouth's words made a lot of sense.

After all, Xia Ye's thoughts were too easy to guess—

No, rather than saying he's easy to guess, it's more accurate to say he never really hides his desires; he's almost too honest.

"I think what Sister Bei said makes a lot of sense!"

Xia Ye, as the person involved, affirmed Vermouth's statement. However, seeing his annoying "I'm shameless" look, the three women present all rolled their eyes at him!

"Okay~"

Vermouth got back to business: "Xia Ye, are you sure you want to take on my job? Although the intelligence organization below can operate independently, there are still some things that I need to handle personally—have you been free lately?"

"Recently—"

Xia Ye counted the days on her fingers: "Xiao Lan's school festival, Akiba Reiko's concert, Ooka Kanon's Kyoto Kagai Festival, oh right, I also have to help Shiratori woo his sister—wait, so I'm pretty busy!"

"Busy chasing girls, huh?"

Vermouth stared speechlessly at her beautiful eyes: "Look at everything you've been doing lately, isn't it all related to beautiful women? At least try to interact with men! At the security company, Ryosuke Akara wants to expand the company, but he has to ask me first—how long has it been since you last spoke to him?"

"Ahem, didn't I have Tomoko give them a lot of work—"

Because of his relationship with Tomoko, the security company established by the brothers who followed him out into the world took on many security jobs for companies under the Suzuki Group. As professionals, they performed exceptionally well and made a name for themselves. After that, everything went smoothly for the company!

Originally, the security company was just a side project for Xia Ye. After it got on track, Xia Ye didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect it to be time to expand now.

Ryosuke Akahara did a good job.

As for asking Vermouth about this matter—

This guy knows his true relationship with Sister Bei, so it doesn't matter whether he asks the boss or the boss's wife!

"Okay, I understand—"

"I'll make time to see him. It's good for the company to expand a bit, so we can have more people on hand!"

"When I have some free time... Okay!"

Vermouth could tell that Xia Ye was unwilling; this guy really had no enthusiasm for anything that didn't involve beautiful women!

"Let's contact the boss first!"

"Okay~" Wan.

Chapter 426 Xiaolan: It's just restraint play!

Xia Ye was ready.

If the boss doesn't agree, just "interrogate" Bayonetta about his hideout, then go and take him down!

Given the current situation.

If Bei Jie had to choose between herself and the BOSS, Xia Ye believed she would choose herself.

I just didn't want to put her in a difficult position unless absolutely necessary.

however--

The negotiation with the boss went very smoothly!

The boss agreed to the plan proposed by Vermouth and supplemented by Xia Ye almost without much consideration, with only one condition—

Xia Ye can take over Vermouth's intelligence network, but the business group to which the organization in the Tokyo area belongs must be handed over to Vermouth for management.

The reason given was to reduce Xia Ye's burden.

Xia Ye agreed without hesitation.

For Sister Bei?

What's the difference between this and turning your left hand to your right?

Once the organization acquires those assets, it naturally won't give them away.

However, it doesn't matter whether it's in Sister Bei's hands or in his own.

Xia Ye put down her phone.

Eri and Ran, who had avoided the restaurant to avoid disturbing them, came over. Ran asked curiously:

"how's it going?"

But after asking, she obediently stuck out her tongue:

"If you can't tell me, then forget it!"

"Xiaolan, what are you saying?"

Xia Ye sat down on the sofa, beckoned to Xiao Lan to sit next to her, pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "He's just a gang leader, what's there to hide!"

"Don't talk nonsense~"

Vermouth, a core member of the Black Organization, gently slapped Natsume on the hand.

The organization is a considerable force in the world, yet Xia Ye described it as if it were a street gang.
