Chapter 599 The Troubles of the Only Unaware One
And rum.

As for Karasuma Renya, he probably doesn't know what Ai Haibara looks like.

After all, he's a reclusive big shot, so he probably wouldn't care what Miyano Atsushi's daughter looks like.

Vermouth will not let Ai Haibara go, that's for sure. Rum is not in Japan for the time being, so there's no need to worry.

Aside from these matters, there was something even more important before him.

—To confess to Joel.

He had made a promise with Joel before the Twilight Villa incident.

Because of Yuri, this time was postponed for several days.

It seems that only now has Joel resolved his issues with Yuri.

That noon, Yuri, unusually, followed Joel around and knocked on the door of the Natsukawa family's house.

After opening the door, Xia Chuan paused for a moment, glancing at the ingredients and gifts in Yuri's hands.

This was the first time this guy had brought so much stuff to his house.

Moreover, judging from his expression, he no longer seemed as hostile towards her.

Yuri lowered his head, not even looking at Xia Chuan, and walked in.

Xia Chuan didn't say anything, but stepped forward to help carry some things: "Having to knock on the door to get home is a bit like treating yourself like an outsider."

A blush crept onto Joel's face. "Because I also brought Yuri along, and I didn't tell you beforehand."

Yuri, who had just entered the hall, rolled his eyes upon hearing the hushed chatter.

Xia Chuan was quite happy that the siblings had reconciled. "There's nothing that siblings can't talk about. This is the best thing for everyone."

"Yes, I should give Yuri some space and the right to choose."

“By the way,” Joel suddenly paused for a moment and said, “It’s not good for Anya and Ai to stay at home and not go to school.”

Xia Chuan knew this, of course, but for the time being, this was the only option.

The distillery seemed to have fallen into silence, but in reality, it gave Xia Chuan a feeling that it was hiding its true intentions.

He had no idea where Gin had gone or whether he had met with Karasuma Renya.

In addition, Gin may have also developed suspicions about the distillery's internal affairs. Although the suspicion surrounding the tequila brand is very small, it's better to be safe than sorry.

In short, the Twilight Villa still had a significant impact.

In the past few days, he has been constantly sending messages to the brewery about Wakasa's medical treatment in the United States, trying to use this as a lure.

Karasuma Renya should already know, but he still hasn't made a move.

"Wait a little longer, summer vacation will be in a month or two, it won't make much difference. For now, it's best to keep them at home, at least I can protect their safety."

"It's all because of me."

Joel may not have noticed before, but after it was all over, she finally realized the inconvenience that doing so would cause.

Exposing the antagonistic relationship to the public was a very difficult thing for Xia Chuan and his siblings.

It can be described as extremely difficult.

Yuri was right about one thing: he couldn't resign.

If I resign, it will inevitably provoke a fierce retaliation from the brewery.

"How about I send two police officers to protect Anya and the others?"

Yuri put his things down and came over. "I can send someone to infiltrate Teitan Elementary School, so at least they won't be harmed by the brewery while they're at school."

Yuri was unusually proactive, and it was indeed necessary.

"Then I'll trouble you." Xia Chuan accepted the offer without hesitation.

The school will be safer with the police looking after it. If he picks them up from school on time, there shouldn't be any problems.

"By the way, is there any news from the police regarding the distillery?"

Besides Gin and his two companions, Amuro Tooru has also disappeared; they seem to have vanished into thin air.

It's understandable that Arak and the others don't belong to Japan, but it's strange that Amuro Tooru can't find them either.

Now that things were out in the open, Yuri felt much more relaxed, no longer needing to hide from his sister and able to talk openly and honestly.

Xia Chuan's questions involved some public security secrets, but Yuri didn't want to hide anything. He paused, thought for a moment, and then answered, "I don't know. Gin and the others seem to have disappeared; there's been no news about him at all."

It seems that Yuri has not severed ties with Amuro Tooru.

But did Amuro Tooru really not know? Or was he deliberately keeping quiet?

This question lingered in Xia Chuan's mind, but it did not affect the subsequent dinner.

Xia Chuan was very happy that the family of five was finally able to sit down and have a peaceful meal.

Yuri, in particular, didn't treat him like before, as if he had already accepted him as his brother-in-law.

Ai Haibara, however, was somewhat confused, because Joel had been busy dealing with Yuri's affairs and hadn't been communicating with her at all.

After going out for a while, Uncle Yuri's attitude towards Xia Chuan completely changed.

Whether it's out of gossip or something else, Ai Haibara just wants to know.

"Hehehe, Haibara, is there something you want to ask me? Ask me!"

Haibara glanced at Anya, then continued picking at her food.

This wasn't the first time Anya had said this, and Ai Haibara didn't believe a word of it.

In Ai Haibara's eyes, Anya definitely knows less than she does, since Yol and Natsukawa would never put Anya in danger, just like leaving her at home.

Therefore, it's absolutely impossible for the other party to know any inside information.

She certainly wouldn't agree to those unequal treaties: letting her copy answers during exams, making her a cup of cocoa every day, washing her feet at night, and so on.

Absolutely unacceptable.

Since Joel is coming to my house today, I might as well ask him directly after we finish eating.

After a quick dinner and Yuri's departure, Ai Haibara, the only one in the family completely unaware of the situation, looked at Joel with a puzzled expression.

"Wait a moment, I'll talk to you later."

Today, besides wanting to have a meal with Yuri and Xia Chuan so that Xia Chuan would know Yuri's attitude, I also wanted to be honest with Xia Chuan.

Moreover, Natsukawa said the same thing.

The two went upstairs, and Ai Haibara had the idea of ​​eavesdropping, but Anya stopped her firmly.

"Step aside!"

Ai Haibara crossed her arms and stared at Anya with dead fish eyes.

"Father and Aunt Joel are talking about something very important. Good children mustn't eavesdrop!"

Anya looked very serious.

She had a feeling that after this conversation, Aunt Joel might soon become a mother.

"I'm not some good kid, I was eavesdropping!"

Ai Haibara wanted to go up, but Bond, who appeared out of nowhere, bit her trouser leg.

"Why are you like this too?"

Ai Haibara frowned, suddenly having a strange feeling. She glanced at the door at the end of the stairs, but ultimately decided to give up.

Strangely enough, as soon as she gave up the idea of ​​eavesdropping, Bond immediately opened his mouth, showing a remarkable understanding of human nature.

"This week, don't even think about getting any extra treatment from me!"

After saying this fiercely, Ai Haibara went straight downstairs, followed by a loud "smack".

Bond shrugged, smacked his lips, and looked at Anya, hoping to get some benefits.

He sacrificed a lot for the two adulterers. As a beneficiary, shouldn't Anya reward herself?

Okay, it's overthinking it.

Without receiving a reply, Bond foresaw the future—it was hopeless.

Anya, the poor wretch, can't even afford canned food now, and she's also under house arrest.
