Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"Am I discussing this with you? I'm discussing with you that my curiosity is rapidly expanding but cannot be satisfied!" Su Enxi said viciously, wishing she could hold Jiude Mai's slender legs and take a bite.

This guy, relying on his good figure, often mocked her about her figure. Su Enxi finally succeeded in losing weight, but sadly discovered that losing weight would also reduce her breasts, which were not big to begin with! When the two of them were taking a hot spring bath together, Jude Mai pointed at her breasts and said jokingly, "If you work harder to reduce them, you can be on the same level as Sanwu. Keep up the good work."

"Hey, if you can't get satisfaction, go find a man to solve it. Isn't Takama-ga-hara full of men? Stop gnawing on my legs like a rabid dog, okay?" Jude Mai frowned slightly and quickly took the long leg back from Su Enxi's arms. "At worst, there's still half a frozen cucumber in the refrigerator. You can make do with it..."

"I'm talking about curiosity! Curiosity! What are you talking about!" Su Enxi looked at Jiude Mai with resentment, "Why did you remove the pinhole camera in the Ferris wheel cabin? If they kissed in there, or if Lu Mingfei couldn't help his animal instincts and pushed the head of the Uesugi family down, even God would not forgive you for missing such a precious moment!"

"Come on, let's not even talk about whether what you said is possible or not. If you really saw it, wouldn't you be afraid of getting stye?" Jiude Mai curled her lips. "Besides, with Lu Mingfei's anti-reconnaissance technology, how could he not detect the pinhole camera you installed in the cockpit? These are all matters beyond the boss's instructions. If Lu Mingfei tells the boss about it, you and I will both be scolded by that psychopathic boss."

Chapter 335: Master Yue’s Ramen Stall

"How do you know the boss doesn't want to see?" Su Enxi pouted. "Maybe the boss wants to know too. The boss didn't tell us to do these things, but he didn't say we can't peek!"

"You also know that you are peeking?" Jiude Mai laughed coldly.

"What a slip of the tongue! Surveillance! Yes, surveillance!" Su Enxi smiled awkwardly. "Since the boss has entrusted these two to us, we nannies have the responsibility to monitor them, right?"

"Aren't you just afraid of my gossip? Don't worry, I can put aside my nerdy heart and watch with an objective, caring, and blessing attitude!" Su Enxi glanced at Jiude Mai's indifferent expression, patted her chest vigorously, and added, "I promise!"

"Alright, alright, I'm done scaring you. It's not that big to begin with, and it'll shrink if you take more pictures." Jiude Mai put the magazine on the sofa beside her, took out a pair of binoculars from behind the sofa, and handed them to Su Enxi. "Type 95 military binoculars, with a maximum viewing distance of ten times. With a tenfold super-long viewing distance and a mixed-blood's eyesight, as long as you find the right angle, you can at least see most of what's happening on the Ferris wheel."

"Hehehe, so you've been prepared, Long Legs." Su Enxi took the binoculars with an expression that said, "We're all the same kind of people." "I told you, gossip is a woman's fourth instinct. Whether it's a nerdy girl like me or a cool and beautiful female ninja like you, Long Legs, there's no way we can escape my 'law of gossip'!"

"I brought the telescope to monitor them. This is the task assigned to me by my boss. Do you really think all women in the world are as gossipy as you?" Jiude Mai glanced at Su Enxi and stretched out a hand. "Why are you so talkative? If you want to see, go ahead. If not, give me the telescope back."

"I'm shutting up! I'm shutting up right now!" Su Enxi made a zipper-like motion in front of her lips. "Your Majesty, why would you bother me with surveillance? I'll do it for you!"

Su Enxi held the telescope and ran to the huge floor-to-ceiling window happily. Like a female hooligan peeping at her neighbor taking a bath, she raised the telescope towards the direction of the "Cosmic Clock 21" Ferris wheel, looking for the cabin where Lu Mingfei and Eiry were.

"How is it?" Jude Mai asked casually while flipping through a fashion magazine, "Did you see what you wanted to see?"

"Oh, what's wrong with Lu Mingfei! He doesn't know how to cherish such a good opportunity!" Su Enxi yelled.

"Why are you so far away? Come closer! Does the head of the Uesugi family have thorns on his body?!"

"Hold her hand! Hug her! Don't you have arms or hands?"

"Kiss her! No girl would refuse you on such a romantic Ferris wheel! Doesn't this guy have a mouth? Or did he forget to brush his teeth before going out?"

"What a great opportunity! I can push her down right away from this angle! You can't push down such a delicate and cute legal lolita right in front of you! Are you still a man, Lu Mingfei?"

Su Enxi banged on the thick tempered glass floor-to-ceiling window, making a loud "bang bang" sound. She looked so angry that she almost wanted to smash the glass, rush to the Ferris wheel, replace Lu Mingfei, and then push Eiry off on the spot.

"Hey, hey, hey, just watch the show, can you please be quiet?" Jude Mai said dissatisfiedly, "People who don't know would think we're slaughtering pigs on this floor. You're screaming so scary... If you make any more noise, I'll confiscate your binoculars!"

After being taught a lesson by Jiude Mai, Su Enxi fell speechless.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" A few minutes later, Su Enxi let out another earth-shaking howl.

"Are you crazy?" Jiude Mai was also startled by Su Enxi's sudden shouting. She thought it was the air raid alarm that suddenly sounded.

"Sitting together! Lu Mingfei is sitting next to the head of the Uesugi family! Very close!" Su Enxi said excitedly, "This kid finally got it!"

"The cabin of this Ferris wheel is so small, they can't get far away even if they want to, right? Is it necessary to have such a big reaction?" Jude Mai rolled her eyes and continued to read her magazine.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" A few minutes later, Su Enxi let out another terrified howl.

"What are you doing crazy again?" Jiude Mai looked up and glared at Su Enxi.

"They're attached! They're attached! They're sitting side by side now!"

At this moment, Su Enxi was like a young girl who was following an idol drama. When she saw the slightly intimate scenes between the male and female protagonists, her cheeks became hot and she couldn't help but want to scream.

"You're hopeless." Jude Mai sighed.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"What's wrong again?" Jiude Mai was already used to it. This time she didn't even raise her head. She just thought that Su Enxi had a really good voice.

"Holding hands! They're holding hands!" Su Enxi exclaimed, covering her mouth. She almost fainted. "Lu Mingfei walked down the Ferris wheel holding the hand of the head of the Uesugi family!"

"Huh? Are they out already?" asked Jude Mai.

But surprisingly, this time, Su Enxi did not answer her, nor did she make any strange noises for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Jiude Mai looked up.

She found that Su Enxi was no longer using the telescope to spy on Lu Mingfei and Huili. Instead, she had an expression of disbelief on her face and took two steps back in a daze, as if she was frightened by something.

"That guy Lu Mingfei... he seems to have discovered me!" Su Enxi looked as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"How is that possible?" Jiude Mai was stunned, her face filled with disbelief. "Do you know how tall this building is? We're nearly three hundred meters above the ground. Even a ninja with eagle eyes would have difficulty detecting two people here without external equipment. Moreover, the floor-to-ceiling window in front of us is installed with one-way anti-peep glass. Only the inside can see the outside. Even if Lu Mingfei has good eyesight, he should only see a pitch-black glass curtain wall when he looks over here."

"Although I also find it unbelievable, it seems that Lu Mingfei really has discovered us." Su Enxi looked at Jiude Mai with a serious expression, "That guy...he made an international hand gesture in this direction."

Jiude Mai still found it hard to believe. She took two steps forward, snatched the Type 95 telescope from Su Enxi's hand, and looked through the lens at the foot of the Ferris wheel in the amusement park.

"Damn it... This guy is so smart that he can even notice this." Jiude Mai murmured.

Through the telescope, she could indeed see that at the foot of the huge Ferris wheel, Lu Mingfei was standing next to Eiry. He was holding Eiry's hand with one hand and raising a "friendly" middle finger towards the top floor of the landmark building where they were with the other hand, with a faint smile on his face.

In fact, if Jiude Mai was in Lu Mingfei's position, she would also be able to guess that Potato Chip Girl must be hiding on the top floor of the Landmark Building where they are, secretly observing the Ferris wheel from this position.

First of all, Lu Mingfei knew his own and Potato Chips' personalities very well, and knew that Potato Chips' excuse of having a stomachache just now was pure nonsense, so he would definitely find a place to secretly monitor them.

If you want to find a place to monitor, the Landmark Building, which is not far from Yokohama Cosmo World, is an excellent location.

Because the Landmark Tower is the tallest building in the surrounding area, the top floor of the Landmark Tower has the widest view, and you can take in all the scenery in all directions in this coastal area of ​​Yokohama City... Moreover, with his and Potato Chip Girl's wealthy family background and their uncompromising personalities, they even use Lamborghinis and helicopters for transportation, and they must be very particular about their residences. Su Enxi, a spoiled girl, would never hide in the grass near the playground or in some corner to monitor him. After much thought, only by booking the top floor of this top-notch building can the Potato Chip Girl's status as a top-tier wealthy woman be best matched.

But even so, Lu Mingfei's intuition was still frighteningly accurate, as if he was certain that there must be someone at this position watching his every move with a telescope or a periscope camera.

"This guy is really becoming more and more cautious. Fortunately, we are on the same side as him." Jiude Mai muttered to herself, "Just thinking about it makes me realize how terrifying and difficult it is to become the enemy of a guy like him."

"Are you talking about the Sheqi Eight Clan?" Su Enxi asked, "But the Sheqi Eight Clan are not easy to deal with either. That Tachibana Masamune doesn't seem to be a simple character either."

"Who knows?" Jude Mai shrugged. "I only know that the boss is on Lu Mingfei's side, so we must stand on Lu Mingfei's side too. Even if that Tachibana Masamune is unfathomable, if the Snake Eight Families are really our enemies, it may be difficult to eliminate all eight families, but it is not difficult to turn the Snake Eight Families into the Snake Five Families, the Snake Six Families, or something like that."

Jiude Mai said this in a very casual tone, but there was an unquestionable majesty between the lines.

This girl does have the confidence. If Lu Mingfei wants to bring down the emperor of the Japanese underworld, she can at least help Lu Mingfei eliminate two or three of them without any problem.

"Oh oh oh! The long-legged queen is domineering! The long-legged queen is mighty!" Su Enxi whistled and clapped loudly to support Queen Jiude Mai.

"Queen is bullshit! In the end, you're destined to be a nanny!" Jude Mai waved her hand and walked towards the door first. "Pack up and get ready to go downstairs. The kids have finished playing in the playground, so it's time to take them for a midnight snack."

"Okay, okay." Su Enxi followed behind Jiude Mai and said softly, "Master Yue's ramen stall. I wonder what the ramen tastes like. I'm really looking forward to it."

……

It was already late at night, and Tokyo was still ravaged by strong winds and heavy rain.

In the alley behind the National University of Tokyo, there is a human-powered wooden van parked at the entrance. This kind of van with a tent is called "lamen" in Japan, which means "yatai car". Generally, where there is a yatai car, the whole alley will be filled with fragrance, because yatai cars refer to traditional Japanese street snack shops where food is sold.

Most trolley carts don't have official names. Instead, the trolley operator writes the name of the food they're selling. For example, if they're selling takoyaki balls, they'd say "たこ烧" (takoyaki), if they're selling corn, they'd say "烧とうもろこし" (yaki to umerokoshi), and if they're selling bean paste fish trolleys, they'd say "たい烧き" (taikeiyaki). Everyone knows what kind of food is being sold at a trolley cart at a glance, making it both down-to-earth and convenient.

The people who come to the cart to eat are usually office workers who work overtime until late at night or students who study late at night. Of course, there are also some people who are craving for fast food supper. This style of small shop is surprisingly popular in big cities.

If you occasionally come across such a shop in a quiet street corner in a bustling city, you will feel both close and comfortable. People from different places and identities who do not know each other sit together in front of the stall. In such a narrow but warm place, they eat snacks and drink shochu while chatting about family matters without any barriers, just like old friends who have known each other for many years. They tell each other about their good fortunes or troubles, and the boss occasionally complains a word or two intentionally or unintentionally... This kind of yatai shop attracts repeat customers because of this kind of happy atmosphere. At present, yatai in Tokyo and Fukuoka have evolved into a street culture and become a tourist resource.

"Master Yue, why haven't you closed up your stall yet?" The high school girl with horn-shaped hair pulled back the curtain and peeked outside. "It looks like the heavy rain won't stop all night. Will it be inconvenient for Master Yue to close up his stall later?"

The ramen chef called Master Yue looks old, with a head full of white hair parted in the middle with a few inconspicuous black hairs in between. He wears a white linen work suit specially made for ramen chefs and a black towel tied around his forehead. He looks like he has been immersed in the ramen chef business for many years.

"If there were no customers, we'd be closing the stall. Aren't we here to welcome you, Mr. Maori and Ms. Ran?" Chef Yue said as he stretched the chewy noodles. Suddenly, he glanced at the big-headed elementary school student in glasses and a red bow tie who was too short to poke his head out from under the table. "Oh, yeah, yeah, and Edogawa-kun too. By the way, is Edogawa-kun still in first grade this year?"

"That's right, this kid just won't grow up!" The man called Mr. Maori slapped the elementary school student named Edogawa on the head. He looked drunk and suddenly shouted at the high school girl named Xiaolan, "Why are you rushing Master Yue to close the stall so early? If Master Yue closes the stall so late, where will I find alcohol to drink? And such affordable ramen!"

"Oh, Dad, please stop drinking. It's embarrassing!" Xiaolan complained to Mr. Maori, then looked at Master Yue and bowed repeatedly, "I'm so sorry, Master Yue, my dad drank too much."

"It's okay, it's okay. Mr. Maori is a regular customer here. I'm very happy that you patronize my ramen stall." Chef Yue waved his hand. "By the way, is that high school boy who used to come here with you, Xiaolan, not here? I think his last name is Kudo? He's the one who was always discussing Sherlock Holmes with you in front of my stall."

"It's Shinichi... His name is Kudo Shinichi... He's a high school detective." When mentioning the high school student named Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan became a little shy, her face turned slightly red, and she spoke hesitantly.

Chapter 336 Ange and Uesugi Yue

"A high school student becoming a detective?" Master Yue nodded. "That's amazing!"

"Yeah... Shinichi is always very busy... He's often abroad helping the police solve cases... So he rarely comes back... I haven't seen him for a long time." As Xiaolan spoke, she became less and less confident, and finally lowered her head, looking a little depressed.

"He's busy as hell!" Uncle Maori slammed the table. "I think that guy is probably dating someone overseas! Who knows, he might have run off with some rich woman! Rich older women abroad just like gigolos like him!"

"Dad, how can you say that about Shinichi!" Xiaolan pushed Uncle Maori angrily, "Shinichi will never run away with some other rich woman like you said!"

"I say, Ran, why are you so stubborn?" Uncle Maori shook the bottle of shochu around, "Except for your father, there are few detectives in this world who can be trusted! That guy named Kudo Shinichi is like this, and that guy named Hattori Heiji in Osaka Prefecture is also like this... hiccup~"

"Dad! Why are you bringing up Hattori again? Hattori and Kazuha have a very good relationship." Xiaolan argued, "If you keep talking about Shinichi like that, I won't care about you anymore. If you get drunk later, just go home by yourself!"

Xiaolan seemed to be really angry, she hugged her chest and turned her head to the side.

"Xiaolan..."

In the corner, the elementary school student Edogawa-kun looked at Xiaolan with complicated eyes and murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

Then he looked at Uncle Maori with a speechless look, thinking that it was really difficult for Xiaolan to have such a father.

"What are you looking at, little brat?" Uncle Maori suddenly glared at Edogawa-kun and rapped the kid on the head with a chestnut, venting all the anger he'd received from Xiaolan on Edogawa-kun. "I remember you were pretty familiar with that Kudo kid, right? Do you want to speak up for him too?"

"Dad!" Xiaolan hugged Edogawa-kun, touched his head, and angrily said to Uncle Maori, "You only know how to bully Conan!"

"Mr. Maori, calm down, don't be so angry." Master Yue placed a bowl of sake in front of Uncle Maori. "This bowl of sake is my treat. Why are you so angry with a child?"

When he heard that there was free wine, Uncle Maori's sullen face instantly turned into a happy one.

"To be honest, I'm actually very envious of you, Maori." Master Yue said with a sigh while washing dishes, "Xiao Lan is a very sensible girl. You have a great daughter. Every time I see this girl, I can't help but think, I wish I had such a sensible daughter."

"Huh? Master Yue, aren't you married?" Uncle Maori asked.

"Dad, don't pry into other people's private affairs!" Xiaolan reminded.

"Sorry, sorry, it's an occupational disease." Uncle Maori scratched the back of his head with a smile. "Master Yue, you know we're detectives, so when the words come to our lips, we can't help but ask them."

"It doesn't matter. There's nothing to be ashamed of." Master Yue laughed self-deprecatingly. "In fact, it's not a question of whether I should have a family or not. I was born to be a lonely ghost."

Although Master Yue spoke these words in a relaxed and casual tone, anyone could hear the unspeakable sadness in the old man's words. It was hard to imagine what the long years had left in the old man's life over the past few decades that would make him say such sad words.

Master Yue stirred the soup pot as he spoke, his weathered eyes staring at the swirling turbid soup with a very focused expression.

Uncle Maori continued to drink and talk nonsense.

Xiaolan was staring at the ramen in the bowl, lost in thought. Her mood suddenly returned to the scene a long time ago when she and Kudo Shinichi were eating noodles at this stall side by side. She didn't know when Shinichi would come back to find her.

Edogawa-kun was eating his noodles nonchalantly, while occasionally glancing at Xiaolan cautiously, as if afraid of being discovered by the girl.

In the small shed, the owner and the guests all had their own unspeakable worries. Outside the shed, there was a crackling and endless rain, as if it was hitting people's hearts.

A bright xenon lamp pierced the dark rain curtain and illuminated the long alley. A black sports car sped across the flooded ground, splashing the accumulated water higher than a person. The sports car crawled in the dark night like a swift beast, and suddenly braked in front of the ramen stall. The sound of the tires gripping the ground was extremely harsh in the silent night.

The black sports car finally slowly stopped in front of the stall of the trolley, like a black panther silently approaching its prey.

Master Yue, who was stirring the soup pot, looked up with a sense of understanding. A strong wind blew at the right time and lifted the curtain of the ramen stall... Through the heavy rain and the waterfall-like water curtain on the window glass of the sports car, Master Yue and the person sitting in the car met each other's eyes.

An old man with silver hair also sat in the driver's seat of the sports car. He was wearing a neatly ironed custom-made black suit and a dark gray tie that was calm and rich in connotation. The old man's face with deep wrinkles made him look even more experienced than Master Yue, but his temperament seemed younger.

The old man's high-end attire, elegant temperament and the expensive black sports car he was driving seemed out of place in the environment of the roadside trolleys. He looked like he should be having a date at a Michelin-starred restaurant or attending a high-end luxury goods launch conference, rather than having a midnight snack at a roadside stall exposed to the wind and rain.

The car door slowly opened, and the old man didn't mind stepping his shiny leather shoes into the muddy water. He opened a huge black umbrella, covered his head, and slowly walked towards Master Yue's ramen stall. The rain poured down along the edge of the black umbrella like a waterfall.

Master Yue noticed the old man holding an umbrella. The other diners at the stall were also attracted by the loud braking sound of the sports car just now, and turned to look at the old man walking towards them.

"Oh, that's why they say Tokyo has so many rich people. You drive a Maserati," Uncle Maori waved at the old man from a distance. "What a nice car! And you're wearing Borrellelli clothes. I've only seen them in magazines before. You must be the boss of a listed company!"

If it weren't for the heavy rain outside, Uncle Maori would probably have come closer to the black Maserati and circled around the sports car several times to admire it carefully.

The elementary school student Edogawa-kun looked at the old man from the side with a slightly thoughtful look, and a dangerous and wise light flashed behind his glasses.

"Edogawa-kun, please don't look at that person with such a dangerous look, otherwise things might develop beyond our expectations." Master Yue said seriously, his eyes fixed on the silver-haired old man who was slowly approaching. "I'm sorry, Mr. Maori, Ms. Xiaolan, it's getting late. It's time for me to close today. I'll give you a 30% discount on today's bill. You can pay together next time you come for noodles."

"You're closing so early today! I haven't had enough drinks yet." Uncle Maori was clearly still unsatisfied. He glanced at the silver-haired old man and asked, "Didn't that gentleman come here for noodles?"

He looked as if he was eager to strike up a conversation with the rich old gentleman.

"Who drives a luxury car and wears all black to eat noodles? Doesn't that old man look more like he's attending a memorial service?" Master Yue's amiable demeanor completely vanished, and he once again ordered everyone to leave. "It's raining so hard, Mr. Maori, you should go home early. Forget the ramen and drinks today. It's all my treat."

Master Yue wrapped his hands on the apron tied around his waist and wiped them, then took off the apron and hung it on the wall of the van. He walked around from the kitchen to the dining table and helped Xiaolan to lift the drunk Uncle Maori up.

"Just like you, Xiaolan, miss the young man named Kudo, Kudo-kun must also miss you, Xiaolan." Master Yue said to Xiaolan, glancing at Edogawa-kun intentionally or unintentionally, "When Kudo-kun comes back, you are welcome to come to my noodle stall to eat noodles again."

Master Yue saw Uncle Maori and his family off. When they walked out of the ramen stall, the old man happened to pass by them and sat down in front of the food counter of the ramen stall. He picked up a pot of unfinished sake, picked up a clean porcelain cup from the table, poured the clear sake into the bottom of the white porcelain cup, and started drinking by himself.

When Master Yue finished sending Mr. Maori and his family away and returned to the ramen stall, the silver-haired old man drank one cup after another and was almost done with the sake in the stall. He then turned around and seemed to want to try some shochu.

"I think we're running low on wine. Why don't you go buy some? When I came here, I saw an all-night tavern two blocks away." The old man said, "Oh, and I'm a little hungry. Make me a bowl of noodles first. You can go buy some wine after I finish the noodles. You can also buy some wine by the time I finish the noodles."

"Ange, after all these years, you're still so annoying! You've gone from a young jerk to an old jerk!" Master Yue waved his hands impatiently. "That's all! I'm closed. I'm not serving any customers today. I'm not selling ramen or wine. And you've already drunk all the wine I brewed. Get out of here before I come to collect the bill!"
