Conan: Ran, don't turn around, I'm a washing machine.

Chapter 66 Emergency Code

"If you don't have time, learn more from me. You don't need to learn karate. Look how easily I can take you down with my jujitsu."

“I’m just a beginner, how could I possibly defeat you, the great demon king of karate?”

"Just think about how amazing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu must be."

"Hey, Xiaolan, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Are you alright, Xiaolan?" Su Xingbo was a little worried about Xiaolan, so he relaxed his grip a bit.

Xiaolan sensed it too, and immediately broke free, standing up and facing him in the starting stance of karate.

"Damn it, get up right now!" This was already one of the most powerful swear words Xiaolan could say.

Su Xingbo sprang to his feet with a swift movement, dusted himself off, and leaned over with a smile. He was about to put his arm around her shoulder and continue his mockery.

Unexpectedly, Xiaolan suddenly lowered her shoulder and threw Su Xingbo away with a back throw.

I was careless and didn't dodge.

After he fell, he was in a lot of pain all over his body.

Xiao Lan's anger hadn't subsided when she charged at him again. Seeing this, Su Xingbo stopped showing off by doing a somersault and instead turned around and scrambled away on all fours before standing up.

"Xiao Lan, did you take the wrong medicine today? Why are you so angry?" Su Xingbo shouted as he ran.

"Hmph, who told you to be so arrogant just now and take advantage of me?" Xiaolan said breathlessly, arms crossed.

"But I was just telling the truth. Karate is nothing special. Otherwise, how could you have been subdued by me? Don't you think that makes sense?" Su Xingbo defended himself.

Xiaolan stopped, thought for a while, and felt that what he said seemed to make a lot of sense. Xiaolan began to doubt life.

But she realized a moment later that he was still humiliating her, which was unforgivable. She angrily ran towards him again.

Upon seeing this, Su Xingbo turned and ran. A good man doesn't fight with a woman. Besides, he might not be as strong as Xiaolan in her rage. If he got caught...

Just thinking about it sent a chill down my spine, and I quickened my pace.

Just then, Sonoko popped out from the doorway. Seeing the two of them chasing each other, she asked curiously, "What are you two doing? Filming an action movie?"

"Sonoko, you be the judge! This guy just bullied me!" Ran complained to Sonoko.

Su Xingbai quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, we were just sparring."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko grinned mischievously and said, "Oh, a friendly sparring match can turn into this? Is your sparring even serious?"

"But speaking of which, Kudo, you really dared to provoke Ran even though you know she's unbeatable in karate."

Su Xingbo shrugged helplessly: "I just wanted to test how well she knew karate, whether she was all talk and no action or if she had really mastered it. But as soon as I casually tested her, Xiaolan was exposed and easily got under my thumb."

As he spoke, he made a pinching motion with his fingers, accompanied by a mocking expression on his face.

These words caused Ran's anger to surge again. What was originally a secret known only to her and Shinichi now included her best friend.

The most, most, most important thing is that Sonoko is a big blabbermouth. Once she found out, basically everyone around her knew.

She's completely humiliated!

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Sonoko waved her hand. "You two just became a couple, are you still a little unaccustomed to it? It's normal for couples to bicker and argue, why make it so unpleasant?"

"But!"

Sonoko interrupted Ran, waving her hand and saying, "I know, you two are just showing off your love and making me feel like I'm being fed dog food, right? My husband is so busy right now that I can't see him, otherwise I would have come with Hoshino."

Xiao Lan's anger subsided a little, and she looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Is Xingbai so busy? It seems like we haven't seen him since we boarded the Sallybeth."

“Yes,” Sonoko nodded and complained, “He said he had something urgent to attend to, and then he hasn’t been seen since. He doesn’t answer my calls, and he only replies to my texts after a long time. I don’t know where he’s off gallivanting off to.”

Hearing this, Su Xingbai, who was not far away, quickly spoke up to exonerate himself.

"Men should always be busy with their own careers, otherwise how will they support you in the future?"

Sonoko nodded in agreement, then stared at him as if he were a monkey.

"When did you become so understanding? It's only been a short time since we last met, and you've changed so much. You would never have said that before."

Su Xingbo scratched his head awkwardly, "People always change."

Sonoko crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing him. "No, there's only one truth. You're definitely hiding something from Ran." Su Xingbai was startled. Sonoko was usually dull and seemed not very bright. How did she suddenly become so clever? But he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

"Nothing's wrong, you're overthinking it."

Just then, a cell phone rang, breaking the deadlock. Su Xingbo quickly took out his phone as if he had grasped a lifeline, and his face turned ugly after glancing at the caller ID.

"I have something to attend to, I'll be going now." He said this and left in a hurry without waiting for Sonoko's reply.

Sonoko stomped her foot angrily, "Hmph, he's definitely up to something."

"Maybe it really is an emergency," Xiaolan comforted her.

Sonoko's eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea came to her.

"Ran, why don't we follow Kudo and see what he's up to? There's something fishy about him not telling you. Let's go and find out!"

Ran was so conflicted that Yuanzi was so anxious that she wanted to go after Shinichi Kudo herself.

"Xiao Lan~ Think about it, he hid something from you today, he hid something from you tomorrow, and he hid something from you the day after tomorrow."

“Over time, you’ll find yourself living in his lies. Don’t you think that’s true?” Sonoko said, looking at him with exasperation.

But even so, Xiaolan became even more determined in her choice, shaking her head in refusal and smiling.

"Okay, Sonoko, don't be angry. I believe Shinichi must have something urgent to do, and there must be a very urgent case waiting for him to solve."

"I trust Shinichi, just like you trust Hoshino. Trust is very important."

Sonoko had no choice but to give up chasing after Su Xingbo and went out shopping and sightseeing with Xiaolan.

……

the other side.

Su Xingbai had already gotten into the car and was driving towards his villa. The call was from Miyano Akemi, who hung up immediately after he answered, indicating that she was not in a good position to talk right now.

This was also a secret code he and Akemi Miyano had agreed upon. In case of an emergency, they would use this method to contact each other and then send a text message to tell each other their current location.

(Thanks to the reviewer for letting me off the hook, I'll definitely be even more arrogant next time!)
