Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 677 Yukiko's choice! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

“Dingle bell…Dingle bell…”

Just when everything seemed to be on the verge of getting out of control, a sharp ring suddenly rang out, like a bucket of cold water, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere.

Yukiko Kudo's pupils suddenly shrank, as if she had just woken up from a dream. She pushed Bai Ye away, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.

She fumbled around on the ground frantically, trying to find her cell phone. Her hands were shaking with fear and anxiety.

Finally, she found her cell phone with great difficulty. The moment she saw the caller ID, Kudo Yukiko's pupils suddenly contracted again, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.

Because the person who called was neither Dr. Agasa who also participated in this prank, nor her good friends in normal times, but it was Yusaku Kudo, the person she least wanted to face at the moment.

"Is it Yusaku?!"

"Why did he call suddenly?"

Could it be that the other party has noticed something?

This thought flashed through Kudo Yukiko's mind, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.

The emotions of fear and panic intertwined and collided fiercely in her eyes, making her face paler and paler, as if she had lost all her vitality.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nervousness.

After all, in her current panic-stricken state, she would be discovered if she wasn't careful.

After a lot of hard work, she finally managed to adjust her state, then she answered the phone tremblingly and stammered, "Hello, Yusaku..."

At this moment, Kudo Yukiko's heart was like a mixture of mixed feelings, with all kinds of complex emotions intertwined together, difficult to describe.

On the one hand, she felt a little lucky that she had survived the disaster because the phone call interrupted her time with Bai Ye at the right time; but on the other hand, her heart was filled with endless embarrassment and deep guilt.

On the other end of the line, Kudo Yusaku's concerned and oblivious voice soon came: "Yukiko, what are you busy with over there? Why are you answering the phone now?"

Just as Kudo Yukiko was about to speak, she suddenly noticed from the corner of her eye that Bai Ye had quietly approached her.

'Don't come over here!'

After realizing this, her eyes were full of pleading and warning.

If Bai Ye came and continued to make trouble at this critical moment, she would really go crazy!

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and silently mouthed to Kudo Yukiko: "What are the benefits?"

If you want him to stop causing trouble, it’s very simple, just give him some benefits.

As long as the benefits are to his liking, he doesn't mind being a bystander.

After understanding Bai Ye's meaning, Kudo Yukiko felt anxious and angry.

Ask her for benefits?
Someone had made her so miserable, and she was already magnanimous for not seeking revenge on that person. But now he had the audacity to ask her for a favor?
This is absolutely ridiculous!

Of course, she also understood that if she expressed such thoughts aloud, it would easily anger Bai Ye and cause him to do something even more extreme.

Thinking of this, she could only desperately signal to Bai Ye with her eyes, hoping that he would be tactful enough to stay away from her and not disturb her while she was on the phone.

But Bai Ye seemed to be deliberately challenging her bottom line of patience. Not only did he not intend to stop, but he moved even closer. He looked as if he particularly enjoyed her embarrassment and helplessness at the moment.

Yukiko Kudo's face became increasingly ugly, with blue tinged in the white and red in the blue, a complex color interwoven with anger, shame and anxiety.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her teeth almost digging into the delicate skin, in an effort to suppress the anger that was about to erupt like a volcano in her heart.

On the other end of the phone, seeing that there was no response, Kudo Yusaku asked in confusion: "Huh? Yukiko? Why aren't you talking?"

How come the other person stops talking while we're talking?
Is he busy with other things? Or is the signal simply bad?
Kudo Yukiko was startled, then she came to her senses and glared at Bai Ye fiercely, her eyes full of shame and anger. However, the situation was critical, and she could not bother to negotiate with Bai Ye at the moment. She could only suppress her dissatisfaction with Bai Ye and answer Kudo Yusaku's question: "No... nothing, I was just organizing the props for teasing Conan, and I was too focused, so I didn't hear the phone ring... What do you want to talk to me about, Yusaku?"

She tried hard to make her voice sound normal, but the slightly trembling tone inevitably revealed her inner nervousness and panic.

Kudo Yusaku on the other end of the phone didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and continued in a gentle and doting tone: "Oh, it's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask you, how is the situation over there? The plan should be almost ready, right? I have arranged everything here, just waiting for Conan to take the bait."

Kudo Yukiko took a deep breath, tried to steady her voice, and said, "Everything...everything is ready. We...we are preparing to carefully confirm the specific details to avoid any other situations."

On the one hand, she has to deal with Kudo Yusaku's questions, and on the other hand, she has to be on guard against Bai Ye's continued trouble. At this moment, Kudo Yukiko feels like she is walking on a tightrope. If she is not careful, she will fall into the abyss, but she is powerless to change this dangerous situation.

This dilemma almost pushed her to the brink of collapse.

"That's good. I just contacted Dr. Agasa," Kudo Yusaku's voice came from the other end of the phone, relaxed and cheerful, full of anticipation for playing a prank on his son, unaware of the undercurrents surging on the other end of the phone. "He said that a friend saw Conan nearby, and it is estimated that Conan will be at his house in 30 to 40 minutes. By then, we can start this prank plan to play a prank on Conan."

After a pause, Kudo Yusaku asked again with great interest: "Speaking of which, have you thought about how to guide Conan and let him step by step into the scene you carefully designed?"

The two of them discussed for such a long time, even if they didn't come up with a perfect plan to 'prank' Conan, they should have some idea of ​​it.

Yukiko Kudo's heart tightened, and she thought quickly about how to respond. She racked her brains, trying to make her answer sound natural: "Well... we... we did think of something. The two of us plan to place some seemingly inconspicuous clues around Dr. Agasa's house to guide Conan to follow the clues and jump into the trap. In addition, we have also made many clever mechanisms in the room where he will be 'imprisoned', and we are just waiting for him to fall into the trap. But we have to think about it again to see if we can make the effect of the prank more interesting. Leave him with a 'surprise' that he will never forget."

On the other end of the phone, Kudo Yusaku was very excited, his voice full of anticipation and excitement: "Haha, that's great, I knew you would come up with a lot of interesting ideas."

"By the way, where exactly are you now? Do you need me to come over and help you?"

Although at the beginning, the idea of ​​teasing Conan was proposed by Yukiko Kudo.

But he had to admit that he was somewhat tempted by this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way back from abroad with Kudo Yukiko.

As soon as these words came out, Kudo Yukiko's heart "skipped". If Kudo Yusaku came over now, then everything would be completely messed up, and it would be difficult to end! Thinking of this, she hurriedly said without thinking: "No, no, Yusaku, we can still handle it for the time being, and we don't need help. Just prepare your part over there, and if there is any need, I will definitely tell you the first time."

After hearing what she said, Kudo Yusaku no longer insisted, with a hint of pampering in his tone: "Okay, then you guys should prepare well. I'll also make one last check here to make sure everything is foolproof. When Conan arrives, we'll start this interesting 'game' and tease him."

Kudo Yukiko responded, trying to make her voice sound calm, as if the panic just now had never occurred: "Okay, Yusaku, don't worry, everything is under control."

Kudo Yusaku seemed to be unsatisfied and asked again: "By the way, how did you discuss with Bai Ye-kun? Did you come up with any new and interesting ideas?"

Kudo Yukiko gave a dry laugh.

Haha, how did the discussion go?

At the beginning, the two of them discussed things in an orderly manner and the plan gradually took shape.

Unfortunately, as they were discussing, the atmosphere changed quietly, and then everything went haywire...

But, can she tell Kudo Yusaku about this?
Definitely not!

On the side, seeing that Kudo Yukiko and the other person were chatting happily, Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was in a playful mood. While Kudo Yukiko was talking, he gently pulled the corner of her clothes, as if to remind her not to forget his existence, or as if he was deliberately making trouble, intentionally trying to destroy the warm atmosphere between the two.

Being disturbed by him like this, Kudo Yukiko felt upset, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously. She could only use her eyes to warn Bai Ye, trying to make him restrain himself.

However, Bai Ye seemed to have ignored her warning. Not only did he not stop, but he even became more aggressive.

Yukiko Kudo was both ashamed and angry, and her heart was in a state of panic.

She knew better than anyone that if this situation continued, the consequences would be disastrous.

But Bai Ye's posture at the moment doesn't seem like he will give up easily.

Unless she can find a way to make the other party stop.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, feeling mixed emotions in her heart. She lowered her voice and spoke to Bai Ye with difficulty using pleading words: "What exactly do you want to do? Stop making trouble, okay?"

Damn it, she was already nervous, and now some guy was messing around. Wasn't he deliberately causing trouble for her?

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, an unfathomable color flashed in his eyes, and he responded with the same mouth shape: "It's okay if you don't make trouble."

"However, if you want to ask for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help!"

"So, dear Ms. Yukiko, what can you give me?"

Kudo Yukiko hesitated for a moment, and with a hint of luck and deep helplessness, she mouthed, "I can pretend that nothing that happened today has ever happened..."

Seeing this, Bai Ye curled his lips in disdain, obviously very dissatisfied with the answer she gave.

"It seems that Ms. Yukiko, you really don't have much sincerity. If that's the case, then you can't blame me!"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Ye picked up Kudo Yukiko.

Kudo Yukiko's pupils suddenly shrank sharply, and her eyes were instantly filled with endless fear. She shook her head frantically, "No!!!"

At this critical moment, a sudden flash of inspiration came to Yukiko Kudo's mind.

She knew very well that if she didn't come up with some substantial conditions that could really move Bai Ye's heart, the consequences would be disastrous.

She tried hard to hold back the shame and panic that surged in her heart. Her face turned red and white, and she spoke to Bai Ye with difficulty, "Mr. Bai Ye, please stop making trouble, please!"

"As long as you don't make trouble, I can agree to any conditions later..."

"Can you really agree to any condition?"

When Bai Ye heard this, a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes, as if he was considering the importance of this condition.

Seeing that Bai Ye's expression had softened, a glimmer of hope ignited in Kudo Yukiko's heart. She looked at Bai Ye with an almost pleading look and emphasized with her mouth again: "That's right, I can agree to any condition you ask!"

Bai Ye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said with his mouth: "How about this, I heard that a new hot spring hotel has opened nearby. It's a great place for a date. Why don't we go there?"

After saying this, Kudo Yukiko suddenly became a little hesitant.

Hot spring hotel. Just hearing these few words made her heart go on alarm bells.

Right now she can still barely cope with this tense situation, but if she goes to a place like a hot spring hotel, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
Seeing the obvious resistance and hesitation on her face, Bai Ye deliberately sighed and mouthed, "It seems that Ms. Yukiko, your sincerity is just this much!"

"In that case, I'll do it myself."

After saying this, he pretended to continue making trouble.

Seeing this scene, Kudo Yukiko's pupils suddenly shrank and her heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

At this moment, she seemed to see herself about to fall into an abyss from which there was no escape.

In desperation, she had to grit her teeth and mouthed, "Okay, I promise you, isn't that enough!"

Although she knew in her heart that agreeing to Bai Ye's conditions now would likely put her in an even more difficult situation later.

But at this moment, facing such an urgent situation, she really had no choice but to hope that Bai Ye would keep his promise...

As for tomorrow's matter, let's talk about it tomorrow. It's better than letting her lose face now.

At worst, she would run away overnight after today's matter was over. She didn't believe that if she ran away to another country, this guy Bai Ye would be able to chase her!
