Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

Chapter 179: Small games? Small temper?

If they were compared to young talents with extraordinary talents, then perhaps there was still a chance, and perhaps a great chance. Unfortunately, they were not young talents with special talents.

Although they have some personal talents, they still rely more on their own resources. In general, they can be considered as decent young talents, but they are not good or outstanding at all.

These people are quite self-aware and just want to see if they can get some related company exchange opportunities by teaching Suzuki Sonoko or Busujima Yako well.

In any case, they have nothing to lose by staying in touch with their superiors, or even maintaining a good relationship.

Rika Shii sat in the middle of this group of people. Although they wanted to please Suzuki Sonoko and the others, they never forgot their original intention.

Therefore, Shijing Lihua still enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded. When several young talents took turns to show their courtesy, she didn't even notice anything unusual.

It has to be said that although they are both rich second-generations, the protected rich second-generation like Sijing Lihua is really too immature compared to their rich second-generations who have entered society and started to hone themselves.

Not long after Matsumoto Akira came back, the group of young people suggested playing cards since they had nothing to do anyway.

Perhaps in order to further improve the relationship between the two sides, after they fought for a while, someone invited Matsumoto Akira and his friends.

Sometimes, playing cards can indeed bring people closer together, but what is more important is interaction. Only with interaction will there be opportunities to go further.

Mao Lilan was reluctant, but Matsumoto Akira didn't mind. When no one else had any objections, he was the first to join the game as a representative.

However, after a few rounds of cards, the young talents looked at each other, with a hint of regret in their eyes.

Without exception, they all possess superb skills, but Matsumoto Akira's luck seems a little too good.

They could see that Matsumoto had no skills at all.

Even the rules of the game were something that the other party, who had just spread the news to them, didn't even fully understand. But even so, the cards that Matsumoto Akira got were far better than theirs.

All I can say is that some things cannot be controlled by skills.

It was only after playing a few games that Matsumoto Akira suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been blessed with luck.

Although I don’t know how good it will be, when playing cards with these guys, I don’t have to worry about getting bad cards.

Sijing Lihua was the first one who couldn't sit still. Although she didn't dare to turn hostile, she gave her suitor a wink.

Immediately, several suitors began to communicate with Matsumoto Akira timidly.

Matsumoto Akira readily agreed, and then they chose Mao Li Ran, who had been reluctant, to join the game.

After a few more rounds, Shijing Lihua finally couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted that she wanted to go upstairs to change clothes, and then left her seat.

The young talents on the opposite side also stopped playing cards as if relieved. There was no way, they found that they had never got good cards when playing cards with Mao Li Ran.

When they played against Matsumoto Akira before, they didn't get too many good cards, but it wasn't to the point where they couldn't get any good cards at all. It can only be said that Mao Li Ran's luck is still better than Matsumoto Akira!

When Matsumoto Akira saw this scene, he couldn't help but chuckle. You know, Ran Mouri's luck was already quite good, and now with Kyogre's blessing, it's not as simple as one plus one equals two.

During the time when Shijing Lihua left to change clothes, everyone lost interest in playing cards and had to continue chatting.

Unexpectedly, as they chatted, they recalled stories from the past and mentioned that they, including Shijing Lihua, were members of the yacht club in the past.

At that time, everyone was still in school, and they often went swimming, fishing and diving in the sea together.

However, when asked why they were no longer members of the yacht club, everyone present suddenly fell silent.

No matter how much Matsumoto Akira and Conan asked, they only got one answer in the end: a tragedy had happened before, which caused everyone to gradually stop participating in the activities of the yacht club.

Akira Matsumoto grasped the key plot point, and although this was known information to him, it was unknown to others.

If you accidentally say something you shouldn't know when you need it, you will inevitably need to spend more time explaining it.

The general plot is that a few years ago, the members of the yacht club unexpectedly encountered a storm and were separated from Shijing Lihua.

At that time, a girl named Nanao Yaeko went alone to rescue Yotsuba Reika, but her life jacket was ruthlessly snatched away by Yotsuba Reika and Nikaidou, and she eventually died in the sea.

To be honest, if there was no protection from the chaebol's status, how could such behavior not be investigated when Yaeko Nanao's own life jacket was taken away by someone else?

Not only the police, but all the members present except a certain guy could basically guess the truth of the matter.

After all, there was no way that Nanao Yaeko's life jacket would fly from her to someone else for no reason.

Unfortunately, the Shijing Group is holding on to this matter and refuses to allow anyone to investigate, making it impossible for everyone to find out the truth and uncover the facts. Unless someone more powerful intervenes, nothing can be done.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became dull. Fortunately, after a moment, someone cleverly changed the topic and talked about other things, and the atmosphere became lively again.

However, not long after, someone suddenly asked in surprise: "The eldest lady has been upstairs to change clothes for a long time, why hasn't she changed yet?"

Although formal attire is cumbersome to wear, it is relatively easy to change out of, especially since you will be changing into everyday clothes afterwards.

Everyone looked at the time. She had been upstairs for more than ten minutes but had not come down yet.

Granny Mi patted her head and said, "Maybe the young lady is delayed by something. I'll go up and see if she needs help."

Seeing Granny Mi go upstairs, everyone felt relieved and continued with the previous topic.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Granny Mi came downstairs in a hurry with a strange look on her face.

"...This is really strange. I didn't find the young lady in the room upstairs!"

"Could it be that the young lady is being naughty and wants to play hide-and-seek because we were too busy chatting and ignoring her?" one of the suitors guessed.

Matsumoto Akira asked curiously: "Has the eldest lady ever had a temper like this before?" Otherwise, how could there be such an outrageous guess.

Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, shouldn't we first suspect a disappearance or kidnapping?

It just so happened that Conan and Suzuki Sonoko were also very puzzled. After all, such speculation was a bit too outrageous.

However, she didn't expect that the group of suitors on the opposite side all nodded in unison. It seemed that Shijing Lihua had indeed been so naughty before.
