Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

With all the medical books he's studied and his understanding of the human body, he could definitely make a lot of money as a massage therapist.

It's more than ten times better than those massages done by blind people.

Under his massage and sleep-inducing influence, the girl entered a deep sleep, and her nerves, which had been tense from the various dangers she had experienced the day before, gradually calmed down.

At this moment, the girl was like a sculpture carved from mutton-fat jade, serene and gentle, with a slight smile on her lips, making one want to kiss her.

It's unclear how much time passed before the girl finally woke up.

First, she opened her sleepy eyes, then remembered something.

"what----"

The girl couldn't help but scream as she remembered what had happened before.

While she was out with Shinichi, she encountered a gunfight and nearly lost her life.

As a result, he was saved by a young man from China, but the guy's frivolous words made him very embarrassed.

Just then, Shinichi rushed back. Worried about himself, Shinichi started fighting with that guy.

However, the difference in their strength was too great. Shinichi was no match for him at all. He tried to stop him, but suddenly lost consciousness.

"That guy must have knocked me out!"

She now understands the whole story. It must have been that person who thought she was in the way, which is why they knocked her unconscious.

"Shinichi! I didn't know he raised him like this!"

Thinking of Shinichi Kudo, the girl became extremely anxious. Shinichi was stubborn and a ruthless murderer. If Shinichi angered him, the other party would definitely kill him!

She hurriedly got out of bed, but as soon as she stood up, she realized that she had changed into pajamas. Looking around, she saw that her clothes had been neatly folded and placed on the bedside table.

Suddenly, she thought of something terrible, and her once rosy face instantly lost all color.

So she hurriedly ran to the bathroom and carefully checked her body. As a high school girl, she already had some common sense in this regard, so it was okay to check her body for any abnormalities.

She breathed a sigh of relief after the examination was completed.

Aside from feeling unusually well, there was nothing wrong with me, but seeing the pajamas I was wearing still made me furious.

"It must be that bastard! He must have changed my clothes without my permission!"

The thought that her whole body might have been seen by the other party filled the girl with shame and indignation, but a strange feeling also arose, though she didn't know what it was.

She then changed her clothes and went downstairs.

When I arrived at the front desk and asked, I learned that the other party had paid the room fee yesterday and left without staying here, which made me feel even more relieved.

Queens, located in the eastern part of New York City, is a multi-ethnic borough, resulting in complex geographical factors.

So while this area is one of the most bustling districts in New York, it is also one of the most chaotic.

Just like the scenes depicted in cyberpunk, there is advanced modern technology and skyscrapers, but in the blink of an eye, it may be a slum full of garbage.

The starkly different styles intertwine in one place, creating an exceptionally unique landscape.

Inside an unassuming building, Vermouth personally filled Miyazaki Yu's glass with wine, her stunning face adorned with a mesmerizing smile.

"I never expected you to be even more outstanding than I imagined. You truly are a born blade!"

No wonder she was so satisfied; the other party had only been in New York for a few days and had already accomplished several major tasks.

The first attack resulted in a bombing, giving the FBI its strongest warning.

This instilled fear throughout the FBI in New York, and the psychological advantage gained from Shuichi Akai's betrayal had vanished.

Even Gin had to admit his own strength, and this could be seen in the conversations over the past few days. Before, that guy wouldn't have been so polite when talking to me.

He also infiltrated a gang according to plan, and he did it perfectly.

In a short period of time, he turned New York's underworld upside down, and "Explosives Master" Brown also died at his hands. This was a triple win.

"If you're going to do it, you should do it to the best of your ability. In this world, if you want to gain enough benefits, you have to demonstrate enough value."

Vermouth nodded: "That's right. After that idiot Brown died, his underground forces were taken over by Olip. But Olip doesn't know that I'm the biggest winner."

As he spoke, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

She couldn't help but feel smug; her public identity was Sharon Vineyard, a Hollywood actress.

As a complex and mysterious figure, the interests she is involved in are enormous.

The interests of the Black Organization are only one aspect, but certainly not the whole picture.

Deep down, she actually hated the Black Organization, but in order to survive, she had no choice but to depend on the organization. This contradiction left her living in the middle.

Therefore, she needs money and power, and money and power are like twins, mutually reinforcing each other. To have money, she needs sufficient deterrence, and to have power, she needs enough money to guarantee it.

Therefore, Sister Bei has her own businesses all over the world.

And the industries most deeply involved are those in New York.

However, these industries have attracted the attention of local gangs, and this gang is the one that Blaster Brown belongs to.

However, this is only one part of the whole plan.

Miyazaki Yu smiled. This woman was incredibly cunning. Her entire plan was wildly imaginative and seemingly far-fetched, yet in a short period of time, she had achieved several results that were favorable to her.

"What are you going to do next?"

Vermouth smiled faintly: "According to our plan, Shuichi Akai should have already traced you to you. However, given his cautious nature, he will be very careful even when he takes action. That's why I'm about to begin my second step in the plan."

Miyazaki Yu was well aware of her next plan.

"Your plan is fine, but I think we should switch roles. After all, I'm curious to see just how powerful this person you're so wary of really is!"

Vermouth was slightly taken aback, then felt a warmth in her heart.

This kid knows all of my plans, and he also knows that the only thing in the whole plan that is the most dangerous is to take action against Shuichi Akai.

On the contrary, although it was dangerous for him to attract the FBI's firepower, he was only providing support from the outside, so the level of danger was very limited.

Now that he was willing to do this most dangerous thing, Vermouth felt a warmth in her heart.

She hugged Miyazaki Yu from behind, her soft body pressed against his back.

"Why are you being so nice to your older sister? Have you fallen for her?"

Miyazaki Yu stood up abruptly and snorted coldly, "Don't flatter yourself. I'm just worried that if you die, no one will pay my salary. I don't care whether you live or die!"

Watching Miyazaki Yu's departing figure, Vermouth let out a heavy snort.

"You brat, you're not cute at all! I'm a stunning beauty that's adored by all of Hollywood, and you don't like me? You like some little girl instead!"

But then he suddenly remembered something and chuckled.

"That Yukiko guy has always considered that girl as his daughter-in-law. Now that brat has gained such a rival, this is quite an interesting thing."

Chapter 88 The Kudo Family's Lingering Fear (3rd Update)

"Ouch—"

Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but gasp. Although he had applied ointment to his body, the intense pain still made him restless.

He now looks like a tightly wrapped mummy, a truly pitiful sight.

This giant rice dumpling should appear in tomb raiding novels, not in a science fiction theater.

If Miyazaki Yu saw Shinichi Kudo like this, he would definitely say, "Kid, you've wandered into the wrong set. This isn't for you. You should go to Mars."

They completely forgot that this was his masterpiece; if it weren't for him, Shinichi Kudo wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Shinichi, how did you become like this?!"

Ran, who had just rushed back, burst into tears upon seeing Shinichi Kudo in this state.

Shinichi Kudo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ran return, looking perfectly dressed, but then tensed up again.

"Xiaolan, you're back. That bastard didn't do anything to you, did he?"

His voice was a little hoarse and unclear, as if he had something in his mouth, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

In just one day, Shinichi Kudo experienced what it meant to be extremely worried.

First, he was beaten up by some random person, and then, because he lost Xiaolan, his worries and fears exploded, but he could only stay in the hospital bed and wait.

This was a real beating; despite his identity as a famous detective, he showed absolutely no mercy.

The other party seems to be very skilled at fighting, as no serious injuries were caused, only minor cuts and bruises, indicating that they controlled the force of their blows.

But the other person's blows were so painful that my whole body was trembling, as if I had been rolled on a bed of nails.

It was trembling from the fingernails to the strands of hair!

This is like a female nurse stabbing her ex-boyfriend dozens of times, which is only a minor injury. However, while the physical damage is not significant, the psychological damage is enormous!

It was a devastating blow to his spirit, and Shinichi Kudo is still shaken by it.

That guy is inhuman! He was hitting me while telling me not to kick things around anymore, or he'd beat me every time he saw me, to teach him a lesson!

Miyazaki Yuya is indeed a ruthless person. Kudo Shinichi is considered a handsome man, but his fists not only hit his body, but also his face.

He beat a handsome young man into a pig's head, so Shinichi Kudo now speaks somewhat indistinctly.

"I'm fine. This person dropped me off at a hotel and left. He didn't do anything to me."

Actually, if Shinichi Kudo were alone, Ran wouldn't have answered that question, because it would have been too embarrassing. But Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko were both there at the moment.

They were all very concerned about Xiaolan's safety, and Xiaolan could only tell the truth, afraid that they would worry.

"I'm so glad you're alright, Ran. If anything had happened to you, I wouldn't have the face to see Eri and Kogoro."

Yukiko stepped forward and took the girl's hand, her face full of worry.

The family entrusted their daughter to them because of the friendship between the two families, allowing them to take their daughter on a trip to a foreign country. They have a responsibility to do so.

Thankfully, Xiaolan is alright now, otherwise they would feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

Seeing this, Kudo Yusaku took out his phone and made a few calls. They had only discovered these things after finding their son last night, so they immediately called the police and asked some wealthy friends to help them find Ran's whereabouts.

Now that the person has returned, this matter is now closed.

"Ran, Shinichi is in such a state that he can't explain things clearly. Could you please tell me what happened yesterday in more detail?"

Ran nodded and then described in detail what had happened yesterday. When they heard that the other person had risked his life to save Ran but was misunderstood by Shinichi and even got hit by a trash can, the Kudo couple frowned.
