"Why are you here all alone? Did you get separated from your mom and dad? Don't be scared, okay? I'll take you to the broadcasting room to find your mom and dad, alright?"
The waitress patted Conan's head affectionately, and without giving him a chance to speak, she took his hand and tried to lead him to the broadcasting room.
"Ah...I..."
Conan was taken aback by this sudden act of concern, then his eyes caught sight of a familiar figure, and his pupils contracted sharply:
"Brother! I see my brother. Sister, you don't need to bother, I can go there myself."
"Hey! Kid!"
Although the waitress was still a little confused, seeing Conan running towards the young man in the distance, she didn't say anything more and could only shake her head and stop paying attention.
At this moment, Conan quickly chased after something in one direction, but stopped after only a few steps, frowning as he observed his surroundings.
No! He clearly saw it just now...
"Hello, Conan, or as you would call me, high school detective... Mr. Shinichi Kudo!"
A voice suddenly rang in his ears, and a warm breath touched them, but it sent a chill down Conan's spine.
Conan stiffly turned his head, only to see a man dressed in black, wearing a mask and completely covered from head to toe, standing in front of him.
His gaze was casually fixed on him, as if mocking or teasing him, causing Conan to freeze instantly. Before he could react, the man in black had already reached out and covered his mouth.
Ignoring Conan's struggles, she retreated towards the edge.
Conan was thinking of asking the people around him for help, but unfortunately, everyone's attention was drawn to the person who had just walked in through the door.
"It's Mr. Yamagami! Mr. Yamagami, a philanthropist who has become famous far and wide in recent years! He is the general manager of this foundation. I never expected to see him here today."
"It's truly rare to find someone like Mr. Yamagami who dedicates himself wholeheartedly to charity in today's society!"
"Yes, being able to meet Mr. Yamagami makes today's trip worthwhile."
People around them were talking about it.
Surrounded by four bodyguards, Yamashita Yu greeted everyone with a friendly smile. His kind and approachable smile made him seem like a philanthropist who only did good deeds.
Of course, there were also dissenting voices.
"Mr. Yamagami, there are rumors that your upcoming maritime auction will be held in international waters, and that many of the auction items are illegally obtained. Could you please respond to this rumor?"
The moment that voice was uttered, the entire room fell silent.
Even Yamagami Isamu's eyes held a subtle hint of danger, but he quickly masked it and transformed back into the kind philanthropist.
"Hello, may I ask which reporter you are?"
"I'm a reporter from the Beika Daily." The young reporter introduced himself and handed the microphone to Yamagami Yu. "Mr. Yamagami, would you mind answering the question from earlier?"
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Yamashita Isamu pushed aside the burly bodyguards blocking his way, straightened his collar, and stepped forward with a friendly smile:
"I don't know where this rumor came from. I am indeed going to hold an auction, but all the items for sale in this auction are donated by kind-hearted people and have come through clear and legal channels."
"Moreover, all our proceeds will be used for charitable activities. I think the word 'illegal' is a malicious fabrication."
……
Chapter 412 Charitable Foundation
Yamagami Isamu maintained a kind smile as he explained to those around him.
Many people applauded in response.
The reporter wanted to say something more, but Yamagami Yu clearly didn't intend to give him the chance and immediately walked inside under the escort of several bodyguards.
Just now.
The waiter who had spoken to Chen Feng earlier jogged up to Shan Shangyong and whispered something in his ear.
Yamagami Yu nodded slightly and looked in the direction the waiter was pointing at Chen Feng.
"Weiss?"
Looking at Chen Feng's completely unfamiliar face, Yamagami Isamu immediately frowned.
He claimed to be his friend, but... he didn't seem to remember knowing this person. Of course, it could also be because it had been too long; after all, he had been back from Europe for several years, so it was normal to forget some people.
Just as he was pondering this, Chen Feng had already brought Xiao Lan up.
To Yamashita's bewildered gaze, she hugged him very warmly.
"Haha, Yong, my friend, it's been a long time."
Chen Feng patted Yamagami Isamu's back lightly, acting as if they were very familiar. Of course, no one noticed the little trinket that Chen Feng had secretly put into Yamagami Isamu's pocket.
"Um...long time no see..."
Yamagami Yu paused for a second, but quickly recovered and responded with a smile.
However, his brain was still working frantically, as if he was wondering if he really knew this person. Judging from the person's attire, especially the black cane inlaid with gemstones in his hand, it was obviously very valuable. If he really knew him, how could he not have any impression of him at all?
Yamagami Yu felt a headache coming on, but he had to maintain a fake smile.
After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Chen Feng pointed to Xiao Lan beside him and said:
"Yong, let me introduce you. This is my wife. We just got married this year. I originally wanted to invite you to the wedding, but I thought about some things that made it inconvenient for you to go to the UK a few years ago, so I gave up."
As he spoke, Chen Feng gave Yamashita Yu a meaningful look.
Ran, still somewhat confused, smiled and nodded at Yamagami Isamu. However, Yamagami Isamu's expression changed drastically, but he quickly recovered and smiled back:
"That was just a misunderstanding."
"Ah, that's right, that's right."
As if realizing he had said something wrong, Chen Feng quickly changed the subject, lowering his voice mysteriously as he spoke:
“Yong, I’m not here to catch up with you. I heard about your recent auction, and there’s one item in it that I’m really interested in.”
An auction?
Yamagami Yu feigned ignorance and asked in return, "All proceeds from the auction will go towards the development of charitable causes. If Mr. Weiss is interested, you are very welcome to contribute to charitable causes."
Yamagami Yu spoke kindly, then said "Excuse me" and led his men forward.
He stopped at the corner, glanced at Chen Feng with a serious expression, and ordered, "Investigate this man named Weiss, as soon as possible!"
"Yes, boss."
The person next to him nodded in agreement.
After glancing at Chen Feng a few more times, Yamagami Isamu turned around again and left the scene.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng and Xiao Lan were also looking in the direction where Shan Shangyong had left.
Only after Yamagami's figure had completely disappeared did Ran ask, puzzled, "When did you become interested in charity? Or... do you think there's something wrong with this Mr. Yamagami?"
"Perhaps both."
Chen Feng smiled mysteriously.
"Alright, let's go."
"They...left already?"
Xiao Lan was still a little dazed, but Chen Feng had already led her outside.
She had no choice but to hurry up and catch up.
the other side.
Conan stood with his arms crossed, looking angrily at Yukiko, who was standing in front of him, covering her mouth and laughing.
In Yukiko's right hand, she was holding the black clothes and mask she had been wearing earlier.
"Mom! You've gone too far! How could you do this!"
Conan angrily protested his dissatisfaction, but this did not attract Yukiko's attention. Instead, it made her laugh even louder.
"Conan-kun's performance just now was quite poor. What? Did you lose the strength to resist after seeing the man in black who knew your identity?"
Yukiko smiled, her eyes narrowing into a beautiful crescent shape.
Yukiko was naturally summoned by Chen Feng. Of course, even if Chen Feng hadn't summoned her, Yukiko would still have been happy to bully her own son.
"Mom!"
Conan was so angry that his face turned red, but he could only stomp his feet to express his dissatisfaction.
After commotion for a while, Conan finally spoke up out of curiosity:
"By the way, Mom, what brings you here all of a sudden? And what have you been up to all this time? Also, what's going on with Dad? Why does he always seem so hesitant when we talk about you?"
Conan bombarded Yukiko with a series of questions.
However, Yukiko wasn't in a hurry. She simply raised her hand to support her chin and spoke hesitantly:
"Conan-kun is asking so many questions at once, it's hard for me to answer them all at once."
"Then let me answer your last question first, which is..."
Yukiko's expression turned serious, and she said, word by word, "Because Yusaku and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"No... um?"
Conan paused for a moment, as if he hadn't quite grasped the situation, but then, as if he understood something, he abruptly looked up: "You guys—"
"Yes, just like you think."
Yukiko made no attempt to hide anything and immediately nodded.
"But……"
Conan wanted to ask more questions, but just then, a shout suddenly came from the previous meeting room:
"What's going on here! Where did these damn pigeons come from! Get them out of here!"
"Security! Security! You're all a bunch of idiots! What are you standing there for! Herd the pigeons!"
"No! We are from the animal protection association! I'm asking you to put down what you're holding and not hurt these adorable little creatures!"
"I don't care what association you're from! I refuse to share a room with these damn birds! Security! Security!"
