My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"Uncle, please let us explain. We just want to help you assess the risks here."

"Yes, you have such a big opening here and you haven't blocked it up. We want to try and see if the children can get through."

"We're doing a good deed, you can't mess with us."

After listening to the three elementary school students' sophistry, the security guard laughed.

"Then you can keep climbing now. You should know that if you climb out of this hole, it will be a tiger's paradise. You will definitely become the tiger's lunch."

Hearing this, the three elementary school students shuddered. They only wanted to sneak in without paying and didn't want to become the tiger's lunch.

"Impossible. Based on my analysis, if you climb through this hole, you'll likely end up halfway down the roller coaster."

The freckled elementary school student offered his analysis, which surprised the security guards, but he immediately refuted it.

"That's just your assumption. I'm a staff member here, and I know the situation here best."

Now you either keep climbing into this hole and end up inside the tiger's mouth.

Either leave this amusement park immediately, or I will call your parents and have them come to the amusement park to pick you up.

And they'll even announce it over the loudspeaker: "Why are you being taken care of by our amusement park?"

"do not want!"

After hearing what the security guard said, the three elementary school students spoke up together to stop him.

They didn't want to become the tiger's lunch, nor did they want to be taken back by their parents, and they certainly didn't want the amusement park to loudly proclaim the wrongdoings they had committed.

There are more than just the three of them playing at this amusement park today. If their classmates or students from the same school find out what they're doing here, the whole school will know, and they'll be labeled as bad kids.

They also want to perform well in elementary school, ideally by forming a club to demonstrate their presence, so they cannot allow their moral character to suffer any loss.

"We understand, let's leave this amusement park now."

"They really have no human touch at all. We won't come here to play next time."

"I won't be coming back."

The three elementary school students chose to leave voluntarily, but they were grumbling as they left, though the security guards didn't take it to heart.

They're just three little elementary school students; how could they possibly retaliate against him later?

What he needs to do now is find ten pieces of paper to temporarily repair the hole so that other children won't have the chance to try it, otherwise it will be his responsibility if something happens.

The security guard was filled with gratitude for the amusement park staff who reminded him; that's what a true gentleman does.

Chapter 167 Shinichi Kudo: Ran is in your hands now.

All of Ichiro Takayanagi and Kaoru Takayanagi's actions took place right under the noses of Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo.

Just like with Ichiro Takayanagi and Kaoru Takayanagi's previous actions, Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo did not immediately experience the amusement park's activities, but instead watched what Ichiro Takayanagi and Kaoru Takayanagi were going to do.

Although I didn't hear the conversation between Kaoru Takayanagi and Ichiro Takayanagi, I understood what they had done by having staff members scold the three elementary school students and tell them to leave.

"If I were in that situation, I would pay for those three elementary school students to play in the amusement park. It wouldn't cost much."

Ran Mouri expressed his true feelings, saying that he quite likes children.

"I think Ichiro Takayanagi did nothing wrong. These kinds of children shouldn't be spoiled."

If we help them this time, they will think that such actions can benefit them, and they may do more of these risky things in the future.

You might be lucky enough to avoid problems once, but you can't guarantee you'll be lucky every time.

To Ran Mouri's surprise, Shinichi Kudo actually agreed with Ichiro Takayanagi's approach at this time.

"Shinichi, you seemed to have some issues with President Takayanagi before, why have you changed your attitude now?"

Because Shinichi Kudo didn't know where his true feelings lay before.

He believes that Ichiro Takayanagi is trying to compete with him for Ran Mouri, which is why he has some opinions about Ichiro Takayanagi. He also said that Ichiro Takayanagi's current credit office is likely to do some illegal and disorderly things.

But now that he knows who he truly loves, there's absolutely no chance of anything happening between him and Ran Mouri.

It's what he should do to let Ran Mouri go and find someone more reliable.

As for the illegal and criminal activities of Takayanagi Ichiro's credit agency, he found no evidence whatsoever.

He has been staying at Detective Mouri's office for the past two days and hasn't seen many people coming to Ichiro Takayanagi's office to apply for loans.

This means that Ichiro Takayanagi is not afraid of running out of money and may have a very large fortune waiting for him to squander.

That's fine, as long as he doesn't engage in illegal and unethical loan sharking, Shinichi Kudo will turn a blind eye to it.

Because there are many difficulties waiting for people in this world, if there were more moneylenders like Takayanagi Ichiro, perhaps those people would be happier.

Shinichi Kudo's change was unexpected by Ran Mouri, but she could also tell that Shinichi Kudo genuinely agreed with Ichiro Takayanagi.

This put Ran Mouri at ease. She wasn't too upset that Shinichi Kudo had suddenly played cards with her today; she just knew this was going to happen beforehand.

Recalling last night, Kaoru Takayanagi gave Ichiro Takayanagi the advice to pursue her.

Takayanagi Ichiro's condition was that Ran Mouri could not have any more childhood friends.

Now that the conditions have been met, if Ichiro Takayanagi doesn't take the initiative, Ran Mouri is prepared to take the initiative this time.

As for his good friend Suzuki Sonoko, she could become his companion, or at worst, they could both become Takayanagi Ichiro's girlfriends.

"Let's go have some fun, otherwise things will get a little awkward."

Now that there was no need to monitor anyone anymore, Shinichi Kudo led Ran Mouri to the recreational area.

Ran Mouri felt quite relaxed after making her decision; she would just have some fun today.

.............

Actually, this amusement park has many rides and attractions, but many of them are only for elementary school students.

High school students tend to converge, so in the end, Ichiro Takayanagi and his friends reunited.

"Xiao Xun, are you guys coming to ride the roller coaster too?"

Ran Mouri was overjoyed to see Ichiro Takayanagi and Kaoru Takayanagi.

Then he went straight to Kaoru Takayanagi's side and took her small hand.

There's no possibility of a relationship between him and Shinichi Kudo anymore; they'll just be acquaintances from now on.

Moreover, she wouldn't be living in the detective agency, wouldn't have to watch Shinichi Kudo and Kogoro Mouri's dirty deeds, and would instead have more contact with Ichiro Takayanagi's family.

If Ran Mouri were to leave right after arriving at the amusement park today, she would lose face.

But now that we've already spent half a day sightseeing, there's no need to continue pretending with Shinichi Kudo.

"Yes, I've never ridden a roller coaster like this before. I've tried all the other rides, so I asked my older brother to take me here to try them out."

Kaoru Takayanagi and Ran Mouri are very close, and the fact that they can find the same activity here proves that they are destined to be together.

As for Ichiro Takayanagi and Shinichi Kudo, there was no such intimate atmosphere.

Although Shinichi Kudo had previously admitted that Ichiro Takayanagi's methods were more appropriate, he still didn't give Takayanagi a friendly look when they met face to face.

"Mr. Gao Liu, you must never let Xiao Lan down in the future."

Just then, Shinichi Kudo suddenly gave Ichiro Takayanagi this instruction.

Ran Mouri blushed, never expecting Shinichi Kudo to say something like that in this situation.

This made Kaoru Takayanagi look at Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri with a strange expression. What exactly did the two of them say while they were playing?

"Of course this is what I should do, because Xiaolan will be Xiaoxun's personal tutor in the future."

He's practically family, I definitely wouldn't let him get hurt.

Ichiro Takayanagi did not refuse; instead, he said that Ran Mouri belonged to their family, which warmed Ran Mouri's heart.

In the past, he and Shinichi Kudo only had a slightly ambiguous relationship; neither of them ever confessed their feelings.

Now that Ichiro Takayanagi has made such a firm and resolute promise, this is what a real man should do.

Takayanagi Ichiro's behavior made Kudo Shinichi momentarily dazed, and he vaguely felt that he had learned something.

But there's no need for that now; it's completely impossible for him and Ran Mouri to be together.

Just then, a commotion arose from behind.

It turned out to be a guy reeking of alcohol, who had come to this queue area with the help of a woman in disguise.

The drunk man first yelled at the two men in black to leave their positions.

They said he had already secured a spot in line, but had only left for a short while.

When Takayanagi Ichiro saw the two guys, the first thing that came to mind was the workaholic duo in the Black Organization, Gin and his underling Vodka.

Originally, it was thought that Gin would draw his gun and shoot the drunk man, but unexpectedly, Gin and his henchmen took a step back.

After showing off his power, the man immediately walked towards the location of Takayanagi Ichiro and the others, wanting to go even further.

Chapter 168 Protecting Ran Mouri is a Promise

This drunkard wasn't originally here, but he wanted to humiliate me step by step from the very end, to show off his powerful male chauvinism.

He had initially thought the two men in black would be tough, and he was a little apprehensive.

I never expected those two guys, who looked so respectable, to be so timid. They were scared into backing down by just a few words from him.

This emboldened the drunkard, who then charged directly at Takayanagi Ichiro and the others.

"I took these seats before you. Get out of here now, or I'll make you regret it."

After the drunkard arrived, he started spewing nonsense, and he even tried to grab Gao Liuxun.

Ran Mouri couldn't stand it anymore, so she grabbed his hand and threw him over her shoulder.

Ran Mouri has been harboring a powder keg inside her for days. Ever since she learned about the ambiguous relationship between her father and Shinichi Kudo, she has been silently enduring it.

Just now, Shinichi Kudo suddenly entrusted himself to Ichiro Takayanagi, which left Ran Mouri feeling quite helpless.

Because Shinichi Kudo had absolutely no right to do such a thing, but she did not refute it.
