Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 288 Chikage: Kaito, you don't want Aoko to know about this, do you?!

The next day.

Kitahara Natsuhiro was the first to regain consciousness. After looking at the ceiling, he looked at Yonehara Akiko, who was resting her head on his arm.

At this moment, Akiko Yonehara was still fast asleep, with tear stains still wet at the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful.

Judging from this, Kitahara Natsuhiro is about to bully Yonehara Akiko again.

But after thinking about it, he decided to forget about it.

Last night, Akiko Yonehara gave it her all and then collapsed from exhaustion.

Seeing how sensible Akiko Yonehara was, Kitahara Natsuhiro felt a little reluctant to disturb Akiko Yonehara, who was fast asleep so early in the morning.

After watching Akiko Yonehara for a few minutes, Kitahara Natsuhiro finally picked up his phone to check the time.

"It's already ten o'clock, that's still a bit early."

Because it's a holiday, getting up at 10 o'clock is indeed too early. Normally, on a holiday he would sleep until he naturally wakes up before eating and doing other things.

Although it may result in the loss of a third, or even two-thirds, of the time, this is what you should do during a holiday.

So, Kitahara Natsuhiro planned to take a nap and wait until he woke up before getting up to eat.

Just as Kitahara Natsuhiro put his phone down, it suddenly rang.

However, it wasn't an alarm clock, but rather LIEN.

"Who's sending me LIEN so early?" Kitahara Natsuyu scratched the back of his head and picked up his phone again.

His women all knew he was definitely sleeping at this time, since they had all been through this before, so they wouldn't disturb him.

Therefore, the person who sent LIEN must be someone other than his woman.

As for who this woman is, it is naturally Kuroba Chikage.

"Kuroba Chikage actually sent me a LIEN message so early in the morning. It seems like she's run into some trouble. Could she be asking me to help her find Kuroba Toichi?"

"I can't do that."

Kuroba Toichi has already been burned to ashes by him, so there's no way to find him even if you wanted to.

He couldn't have fabricated something out of thin air.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean he has to find Kuroba Toichi.

After all, Kuroba Toichi is publicly known as someone who has been dead for ten years. She couldn't risk having someone else help her find him if others discovered that Kuroba Toichi was still alive.

Kuroba Chikage would never do something so foolish.

Since it's not that matter, then it must be something related to Kaito Kuroba.

After all, the people Kuroba Chikage cares about right now are either Kuroba Toichi or Kuroba Kaito.

Sending LIEN so early must be about Kaito Kuroba, probably to teach this disobedient child a lesson.

After all, high school students of this age are very rebellious, and Kaito Kuroba is no exception.

"really."

Kitahara Natsuhiro's suspicions were confirmed after seeing LIEN.

Chikage Kuroba sent LIEN over to talk to him about his son, Kaito Kuroba.

Although Kitahara Natsuhiro is not an education expert, his ability to manage elementary school students who are at the age of being mischievous is a skill in itself.

Furthermore, Kitahara Natsuhiro knew that Kuroba Kaito was Kaito Kid.

Due to these circumstances, Kuroba Chikage could only turn to Kitahara Natsuyu and could not turn to anyone else.

After all, there are a lot of secrets in the family that cannot be known to outsiders.

【Mr. Kitahara, I apologize for disturbing your rest so early. It's urgent, and I'd like to discuss with you how to educate a rebellious child.】Kuroba Chikage

Kitahara Natsuyu looked at the long string of messages sent by Kuroba Chikage, fiddled with his phone, and began to think.

"Educating rebellious teenagers, that's within the scope of my business."

After all, he's not a high school teacher. Although he's been through that age himself, he's not rebellious.

However, children's education is similar in many ways. Although he doesn't know how to educate them, he knows how other families educate them.

Although they are not from the same country, they still have similarities.

So, Kitahara Natsuhiro immediately started typing with one hand and began typing "LIEN".

"What shameful thing has a rebellious child done?" Kitahara Natsuyu said.

Since he's entered his rebellious phase, let's use Kaito Kuroba's past scandals to manipulate him.

This method may or may not work.

Because if a child of this age really goes through a rebellious phase, then they are truly stubborn, the kind that you can't pull back even if you try.

As for Kaito Kuroba, a rebellious high school student seeking revenge for his father, he's even worse off; there's no turning back him, so he can only resort to unconventional methods.

Of course, Kaito Kuroba wasn't looking for revenge against him, but rather against that mysterious organization.

He didn't know much about the mysterious organization, only that they were a group of guys searching for gems all over the world.

Moreover, he has no connection with these guys and has no intention of having any connection with them.

Of course, he could probably get some information from Vermouth if he asked her, but there was no need.

He's not Kaito Kuroba's father, so why should he work for him?

Furthermore, Chikage Kuroba did not want Kaito Kuroba to be involved in this old story, otherwise she would not have kept the fact that Toichi Kuroba was still alive a secret.

However, all their efforts were in vain when the old butler, Terai Kinosuke, made a mistake, leading to a complete defeat.

Therefore, the entire Kuroba family are troublesome individuals, causing Kuroba Chikage to feel extremely exhausted.

Fortunately, Kitahara Natsumi helped Kuroba Chikage solve a big problem, and we really should thank him!

Buzz buzz.
Not long after, Kuroba Chikage sent another message from LIEN.

"[What a shameful thing, Kitahara-sensei, are you saying you're threatening him with something like this?] Kuroba Chikage."

After sending this message, Kuroba Chikage began to think about whether this method would work.

After thinking about it, she felt that this method would be useful, because Kaito Kuroba still had people he cared about in this world. If his dark history were to be revealed, how could he face anyone?

However, Kaito Kuroba doesn't have many dark histories.

Kaito has been a bright and clever child since he was a child. He can learn anything very quickly and doesn't need them to worry about him at all.

Chikage Kuroba wasn't the type of mother who was prone to quirky behavior, so Kaito Kuroba didn't have any dark history.

Even if you look, you can't find it.

We can't exactly tell people about him soiling his pants when he was a kid.

But what's the point of talking about this? It's perfectly normal for kids to have trouble controlling their sphincter muscles, so it's very common for them to wet their pants.

This kind of thing can't be considered a dark history if you talk about it, because other people were like this when they were young too.

So, what other dark history does Kaito have? At the dining table, Chikage Kuroba racked her brains trying to recall her son's dark past, while Kaito Kuroba was eating brunch nearby.

Because it was already a holiday, everyone was used to sleeping in late and didn't get up early.

When I get up, it's already quite late. If I make breakfast now, I won't eat lunch until very late.

So I simply made lunch and breakfast together, which way I could make one less meal.

However, the brunch was quite substantial, and it was made by Chikage Kuroba herself, so it tasted quite good.

Kaito Kuroba loves to eat because he hasn't had his mother's cooking in a long time.

Eating it now, I really miss it.

However, while eating, Kaito Kuroba was also keeping an eye on his mother.

He knew very well that his mother was hiding something from him, possibly related to his boss's death, but she just wouldn't tell him.

And who are you chatting with about LIEN so early in the morning?

"Qingzi's mother? Or is it that her mother is seeing another man in America?"

Aoko Nakamori's mother is named Aoko Nakamori, a prosecutor at the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. She is extremely capable and possesses exceptional reasoning and observation skills, easily able to expose magic tricks and the magic tricks of Kaito Kuroba when he was a child, leaving Kaito with considerable childhood trauma.

She was also hailed by her colleagues as a "future prosecutor general candidate" or "possibly the future prosecutor general," making her a rather formidable woman.

Therefore, Kaito Kuroba is quite afraid of this woman.

This is similar to Conan being afraid of Eri Kisaki, because both women possess extremely strong observational skills, which are terrifying.

Although Nakamori Aoko is a strong woman, her own mother is her best friend, and they have known each other for decades.

That's why Nakamori Aoko exposed Kaito's magic tricks when he was a child.

However, with the recent spate of cases in Tokyo, Aunt Nakamori Aoko probably doesn't have much time to chat with her mother.

Could it be that she really has a new boyfriend in the United States?

Are you planning to bring her back for me to see?

Actually, Kaito Kuroba doesn't object to this matter.

After all, his own father's reckless actions led to his untimely death.

My mom has worked so hard for my dad and for herself all these years, and it's already quite late for her to find a partner now.

Moreover, he has grown up and is now able to understand his mother as a mother.

Therefore, Kaito Kuroba is quite open-minded in this regard.

As long as Mom doesn't bring back a cotton farmer, it's fine.

He really couldn't accept growing cotton.

"Mom, who are you chatting with?" Kaito Kuroba suddenly asked.

Kaito's question startled Chikage for a moment, then she panicked slightly and instinctively covered her phone on the table: "I'm chatting with a friend in America, it's nothing, Kaito, don't worry."

She was thinking about her son's dark past and preparing to teach her clever son a lesson.

Kaito suddenly spoke, which startled her, even though she had once been the Phantom Thief Lady.

After all, she hasn't been a phantom thief lady for decades.

"A friend from America?" Kaito Kuroba glanced at his mother, becoming increasingly certain that she had a boyfriend in America and might even bring him back to meet him.

However, he did not reveal the truth about it.

Judging from his mother's expression, she wasn't ready yet, so he didn't want to directly point it out. If his mother got angry, he would be in big trouble.

But what Kaito Kuroba didn't know was that the two of them weren't actually talking to each other; they were both discussing other things.

"Yes, I'm currently entrusting a friend who owns a casino in the United States to sell it."

"So I don't have to go to America to handle it," Kuroba Chikage said with a smile.

Actually, the casinos in the United States are almost settled, and she has made a lot of money over the years, enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life, or even for more than ten lifetimes.

So she wasn't really concerned about selling casinos or anything like that, and she wasn't in a hurry.

However, Chikage Kuroba didn't want Kaito Kuroba to know that she was plotting against her, nor did she want him to know that the person she was chatting with was Natsuhiro Kitahara.

Although I feel a little embarrassed, Kitahara Natsuhiro is closely related to Kuroba Toichi's disappearance.

Of course, Kuroba Chikage did not suspect Kitahara Natsuyu of killing Kuroba Toichi, but rather said that Kuroba Toichi returned to Japan in order to kill Kitahara Natsuyu.

Furthermore, Kuroba Chikage felt a little guilty towards Kitahara Natsuyu.

Because she almost put Kitahara Natsuhiro's life in danger, but fortunately Kuroba Toichi disappeared.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to clean up the mess left by Kuroba Touyi.

After all, this is Tokyo, not America.

Gunfights happen every day in the United States, and people die every day.

Although people die and all sorts of cases happen every day in Japan, detectives roam freely here.

Among them, Yusaku Kudo is still in Japan. He is Toichi Kuroba's brother and the world's best-selling mystery novelist. It's hard to say that he won't find out the mastermind behind it all, and he won't show any mercy even to his own brother.

In addition, there is Kudo Yusaku's son, Kudo Shinichi, Mouri Kogoro, and Osaka's Hattori Heiji.

There are just too many detectives.

They might be exposed at any time.

Thankfully, nothing happened, thank goodness!
"Oh, I see." Kaito Kuroba nodded. "I thought you were chatting with Aunt Biko, Mom. It's been a long time since you two have seen each other!"

Upon hearing the name, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Kuroba Chikage's eyes: "Ah, it's been a long time since I've seen her, but we still chat. With technology becoming more and more advanced, chatting is very convenient now."

"Speaking of Bizi, how are things between you and Qingzi? Have you become boyfriend and girlfriend?"

At this point, Kuroba Chikage had a plan in mind, but she was still hesitant about whether to implement it.

Unsure on her own, she simply texted Kitahara Natsuyu to ask for his opinion and then arranged to meet him to discuss it properly.

After all, Kitahara Natsuhiro knew the true identity of Phantom Thief Kid!

"Boyfriend or girlfriend?" Kaito Kuroba paused for a moment, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face: "No, we don't."

Although Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori aren't that tsundere, they often go shopping and watch movies together.

But it was just a tiny bit off.

All that's left is to confess his feelings.

"Then you'd better hurry up, or another man might snatch him away!"

"I've already decided that Qingzi is my daughter-in-law!"

Hearing this, Kaito Kuroba slumped his eyes and said, "Mom, you're so long-winded!"
