My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Takayanagi Ichiro's words warmed Ran Mouri's heart.

She was sure she wouldn't go back on her word for saying such things in front of her mother, and Ran Mouri had also actually felt Ichiro Takayanagi's attitude towards her.

Ran Mouri had indeed considered not letting her mother join in before, because Ichiro Takayanagi's life was a bit chaotic.

But now that she has experienced the real benefits and seen her mother looking tired, she naturally puts all those concerns aside.

Moreover, it seems that Ichiro Takayanagi and Eri Kisaki have a good working relationship.

Ran Mouri didn't think too much about it, considering it a gesture of respect from the two of them.

The food was served a little slowly, so Ichiro Takayanagi talked to Eri Kisaki about other things, such as Kohei Sawaki.

Sawaki Kohei originally intended to come and talk to Kisaki Eri, but he didn't expect that Kisaki Eri would reject him because of Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Ze Muping is a good bartender, and he also wants to leave this job and open a winery in his hometown."

The first two times, Xiaolan was trying to set me up with her father here, which is why she talked to the bartender about some things.

But things are different today, so there's no need to have much interaction with him.

Eri Kisaki made her attitude towards today's date clear from the start, which made Ran Mouri very happy. Then, she looked at Ichiro Takayanagi as if she wanted to take credit.

"What else did you discuss?"

Ran Mouri was a little surprised after hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's question. Could it be that Takayanagi Ichiro was so concerned about her mother's past?

"Brother Ichiro, Mr. Sawaki only asked me about the reason why my parents separated."

They didn't pay much attention to my mother at all, but they got along quite well with my father when it came to wine.

Ichiro Takayanagi promised her that he would help Eri Kisaki improve her physical and mental condition, and Ran Mouri, of course, did not want any problems to arise.

Ran Mouri wanted to explain something to Ichiro Takayanagi, but Eri Kisaki realized that Ichiro Takayanagi didn't have that intention, but rather had something else on his mind.

However, since they are out for a meal now, there is no need to discuss anything in detail.

If we want to discuss this in detail, we can wait until we get home.

"Xiao Lan, I don't have any bad intentions, I'm just worried that some of your information might be leaked."

After hearing what Ichiro Takayanagi said, Ran Mouri immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because she understood.

Takayanagi Ichiro was in the loan sharking business, so he valued information very much.

But her mother is a lawyer and her father is a detective.

Only they can spy on other people's intelligence and privacy; it's very difficult for ordinary people to obtain their information.

"I need to use the restroom first."

Ran Mouri felt a little off after her mood swings, so she got up and went to the bathroom.

So at this dining table, there were only Ichiro Takayanagi and Eri Kisaki facing each other.

"Xiao Lan's personality can be a bit eccentric, so you'll need to be more understanding sometimes."

When faced with some crucial issues, Ran Mouri's personality becomes a bit eccentric, so Hideki wants to find a way to correct her daughter's behavior at these times.

"In other people's eyes, Xiaolan is the most perfect person."

Of course, Ichiro Takayanagi wouldn't say anything bad about Ran Mouri, and besides, he had already developed Ran Mouri to perfection.

The fact that she even asked him for help with Eri's situation is enough to show that Ran Mouri's heart has already taken the shape of Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Ichiro, there must have been a deeper meaning behind what you just said."

I had been thinking that when I got home, I would discuss with Takayanagi Ichiro what he had said.

But Ran Mouri just happened to be in the restroom, so we can ask her a little something.

Furthermore, the way Takayanagi Ichiro is addressed has changed from "junior" to "Ichiro," which is a very intimate change.

"I think Sawaki Kohei is deliberately befriending you so that you can find out about your relationship and what happened between you."

After hearing what Ichiro Takayanagi said, Eri Kisaki's expression changed.

As a lawyer, she's the one who should be exploring other people's privacy and secrets, yet she's been tricked by a bartender.

"Ichiro, what evidence do you have for what you're saying?"

Knowing that Eri Kisaki was going to say that, Ichiro Takayanagi handed a notebook to her.

"I just took this notebook from him. It's full of his evil plans, including those concerning you, Eri, and Ran's father."

Chapter 381 Ran, you entertain Ichiro first.

Takayanagi Ichiro actually pulled something out of Sawaki Kohei's body, which surprised Kisaki Eri.

Takayanagi Ichiro and Sawaki Kohei had no prior interaction; they had only just exchanged a few words.

It's outrageous that Ichiro Takayanagi was able to pull a small notebook out of Kohei Sawaki's body, a notebook containing criminal plans.

However, Eri Kisaki did not condemn this, knowing that Sawaki Kohei's criminal plan included her, and even Ran Mouri's father.

Eri Kisaki opened her notebook of criminal plans and immediately saw the names of the people targeted, including some of her acquaintances.

Besides Ran Mouri's father, there's Shinichi Kudo, Professor Agasa, and Inspector Megure.

However, before he could even look at the detailed plan, he was interrupted by Ran Mouri's voice.

"Mom, I saw that Ichiro gave you something."

What is that? Can I take a look?

I initially thought that Ichiro Takayanagi and Eri Kisaki's relationship was a blind date, but I didn't expect them to get along so well.

Could it be that something happened between the two of them while I was in the bathroom?

But that should be impossible, after all, this is in a romantic French restaurant.

Moreover, their group attracted a lot of attention, so even if the two of them had any ideas in their hearts, they could only act on them after returning home, and would not be exposed to the public eye.

Eri Kisaki did not answer Ran Mouri's question.

After all, this was just something that Takayanagi Ichiro had provided to her, and she hadn't fully verified it yet, so it wasn't appropriate to tell her daughter about it.

And now that Ran Mouri is out, she can no longer look at the criminal plan pamphlet.

"Ichiro was just asking if there was any opportunity for us to cooperate. I will translate this booklet when I get back and then consider the cooperation."

After hearing Eri's explanation, Ran nodded and sat down next to her mother.

Ran Mouri could tell that Eri Kisaki's way of addressing Ichiro Takayanagi had changed.

Furthermore, the fact that Ichiro Takayanagi gave gifts to Eri Kisaki indicates that their relationship had undergone a significant change without his knowledge.

However, this is the kind of change that Ran Mouri wanted to see, so she didn't say much.

Ichiro Takayanagi is in the loan business, and if he could establish a partnership with a powerful lawyer like Eri Kisaki, it would be highly beneficial for both of them.

"Actually, there's another reason I came here today, it's for Xiaolan."

Ichiro Takayanagi didn't wait for Ran Mouri to ask anything further, but instead mentioned Ran Mouri's name.

This surprised Eri Kisaki for a moment.

I wondered to myself, could it be that Ran Mouri is pregnant and about to become a grandmother?

So Ran Mouri turned to look at her daughter and found that her expression had not changed at all, which meant that the possibility she was thinking of did not exist.

"Ichiro, what's the problem?"

“Last night, Xiaolan woke up in her sleep and said she had a nightmare. I think something really shocking happened to her in the past, and it was about you, Yingli.”

"What does this have to do with me?"

Ran Mouri completely ignored one of the conditions that Ichiro Takayanagi had to use to make his statement.

When her daughter Ran Mouri woke up with a nightmare, Ichiro Takayanagi was next to her, which means that the two of them slept together the night before.

"Mom, I've been having nightmares lately."

I only remembered the content of the nightmare last night, which was that when you and I went out to play, you were shot by someone.

I was so worried that I woke up right out of the dream.

After I told Ichiro about the nightmare, the Iranian guy comforted me, saying that dreams are often the opposite of reality.

After hearing her daughter Ran Mouri's account, Eri Kisaki was also stunned for a moment.

"Mom, do you know why this is?"

"Xiao Lan, your brother Ichiro is right, dreams are always the opposite of reality."

"Am I sitting right next to you? So there's no need to overthink it."

Ran Mouri knows her mother quite well, and seeing her mother's expression, she knows there must be a story behind it.

Just as Ran was about to press for more information, the waiter came to serve the food, thus ending the conversation.

"Ichiro, let's eat first."

Eri Kisaki gave this instruction to Ichiro Takayanagi, and Ran Mouri did not object. Instead, she began to introduce each dish to Ichiro Takayanagi one by one.

Ran Mouri had seen these recipes in some books and had studied them carefully, but she had never made them herself.

However, she is quite capable when it comes to giving verbal explanations.

At this moment, both Ichiro Takayanagi and Eri Kisaki echoed Ran Mouri's sentiments, since they both knew what Ran Mouri was planning.

In any case, Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri were very satisfied with the meal.

Ran Mouri saw that Ichiro Takayanagi and Eri Kisaki got along very well, and she was sure that there would be a result tonight.

Eri Kisaki, on the other hand, obtained Kohei Sawaki's crime notebook, which she can study carefully when she gets back.

If there is indeed a possibility of such a crime, she will definitely communicate with the police.

"Brother Ichiro, let's take Mom home together. I'm a little worried about her going home alone."

Now that I've made my choice, I must get a result today.

So after the meal, Ran Mouri asked Ichiro Takayanagi to take her mother home.
