Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

The opening remarks were so familiar that they were almost a given. In short, it started with a brief introduction of the conglomerate's background, followed by the introductions of everyone from the captain to the heads of various departments, as mentioned before.

Soon, everyone had finished their introductions.

However, just as Tsujimoto Kaho was preparing to host the next stage of the party, someone in the audience mustered up the courage to shout something.

"Did we forget someone? Where are Chairman Yatsushiro and his wife?"

"Uh, it's during the party now, so if you have any questions, we can discuss them afterward..."

Kaho Tsujimoto reacted quite quickly, organizing her thoughts and changing the subject the moment the question was raised.

However, her voice alone could not drown out the voices of everyone else in the room. Soon, as the first person took the lead, other voices of doubt also rose up one after another.

"So what exactly happened? Did something happen to Chairman Yashiro and the others?"

"Where are the police? I just saw them come in here. Come out and say something!"

"That means we have the right to know what happened, right? What does it mean to keep us in the dark without saying anything?"

At first, it was just one sentence after another, but soon as more and more people started talking, it turned into a chaotic mess, and the elegant and orderly banquet hall was transformed into a noisy market.

To make matters worse, the people in the banquet hall also began to notice Inspector Megure and the other police officers who had sneaked in at the last minute, and they started to surround them and interrogate them about the specifics of the situation.

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, someone suddenly strode onto the stage and took the microphone from the assistant.

It was none other than the "Sleeping Detective" Kogoro Mouri.

He appeared on stage, fully conscious and dressed in a suit, with a calm and confident expression. His slightly deep voice carried throughout the banquet hall through the microphone.

"First, let me introduce myself. I am Kogoro Mouri. Yes, as you all have guessed, Chairman Yashiro and Mrs. Yashiro did indeed have an accident. But please rest assured, I, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, have now fully grasped the clues and know the true identity of the culprit."

"It's you! Ms. Minami Akiyoshi!"

Everyone was surprised; how could it be Akiyoshi Minamiko?

Minako Akiyoshi was also completely bewildered; her plan was flawless, so where had it gone wrong?

“I’m not the murderer…” Minako Akiyoshi began to defend herself.

Kogoro Mouri began to deduce the truth, but was pushed away by Inspector Megure.

“Brother Mori, I don’t need your deduction now, I can do it myself.” Thirteen coughed. “Ms. Minami Akiyoshi, you purchased a considerable number of bombs, and coincidentally, the channels through which you purchased them were being monitored by the police. I had my colleagues investigate, and they found you.”

"bomb?"

Minako Akiyoshi had no idea that the carefully planted bomb had been defused by the police in a flash.

"How can it be."

Autumn Miko yelled and reached inside her suit jacket, then pulled out a remote control with a red button on it and pressed it.

There was no reaction; the bomb did not explode.

"Hahaha... It's useless." Mu Mu Thirteen laughed wildly. "Thanks to our bomb disposal expert, Detective Lin, he was able to defuse the bomb on the ship without anyone noticing. Detective Lin truly deserves to be called the savior of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

It's quite ironic that these words came from Mumu Thirteen.

As soon as Mumu Thirteen finished speaking, everyone present looked at Lin Xiaofeng with adoration. Lin Xiaofeng was practically a god in the detective world! Although the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was utterly incompetent, with Lin Xiaofeng, this god-like figure, protecting Tokyo, it was like Batman protecting Gotham City!

343. Tomoko: Reiko, it's my turn.

With the case resolved, Lin Xiaofeng had no reason to leave Qiu Tinglianzi anymore.

After dinner, Akiba Reiko pulled Lin Xiaofeng back to their room.

Reiko Akiba, no longer as reserved and restrained as before, stopped suppressing her voice and gradually became more and more engrossed in the moment... until...

"Um!... Xiao Feng, stop for a moment..."

Suddenly, Akiba Reiko gently patted the boy's shoulder, softly humming to him to stop.

Lin Xiaofeng brought himself to a standstill, his hands firmly around Qiu Tinglianzi's waist, and he raised his face to reveal his firm chest, which was rising and falling slightly due to his quickened breathing.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Reiko? Are you tired?"

“Yes, I should rest… I can’t go on like this, I’ll break down. I’m a singer, I have to restrain myself in many ways…” Akiba Reiko stammered, her skin flushed a lovely pink under the lights of the private room, her skin glowing with vitality. She said this, but her arms tightened around the boy in front of her, her delicate chin resting lazily on his shoulder. She felt like a female sloth, clinging to a tree trunk on all fours, her voice barely audible.

"Then let's rest." Lin Xiaofeng gently put Qiu Tinglian down.

"I'm sorry, Kaze..." Akiba Reiko apologized, feeling that if things continued like this, she would fall into depravity. She still had her singing career; she couldn't let herself be consumed by trivial pursuits.

Just as Akiba Reiko lay down, she heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking at this hour?"

Reiko Akiba quickly shrank into the cup to prevent outsiders from seeing her body.

"I'll go take a look." Lin Xiaofeng put on the disposable pajamas in the guest room and went to open the door.

Upon opening the door, I saw Tomoko Suzuki, just as I expected.

"Miss Akiba Reiko, are you still awake?" Suzuki Tomoko glanced inside.

"Yes. Sister Pengzi, it seems you've come at an inopportune time." Lin Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly. In fact, Qiu Tinglian's stamina exceeded his expectations. Perhaps being a singer requires excellent physical strength, otherwise one cannot sustain a long performance.

"No, I came just in time."

Tomoko Suzuki walked in without permission.

When Akiba Reiko saw Suzuki Tomoko, she immediately raised her eyebrows: "Mrs. Suzuki, what brings you here!"

“Miss Akiba Reiko, don’t you understand? Lin Xiaofeng is definitely not someone that any one woman can have all to herself. Just like you now, you simply can’t handle it.”

"Who said that? I'll show you right now with Lin Xiaofeng!"

Akiba Reiko tried to be strong, but Suzuki Tomoko held her shoulder down.

"Why bother?" Tomoko Suzuki comforted Reiko Akiba. "I'd like to be your sister, what do you think?"

"What!" Akiba Reiko's head buzzed. She never expected Suzuki Tomoko to say such a thing. How shameless!

"Don't feel like you can't accept it. You don't just have me as your sister, you have other sisters too. What's the point of taking your anger out on me?"

Akiba Reiko's body trembled, and she glared at Lin Xiaofeng. She never expected Lin Xiaofeng to be such a scumbag, beyond her imagination.

"Lin Xiaofeng, explain yourself clearly, is what Mrs. Suzuki said true or not?"

“Reiko, listen to me. Your sisters are all wonderful women. You can definitely become friends with them. For example, Tomoko is a wonderful woman.”

Tomoko Suzuki is rich and beautiful, with a good personality and abilities; it's almost impossible to find any flaws in her.

“I’m not asking you those things. I’m asking who my other sisters are.”

"Uh..." Now that things have come to this, Lin Xiaofeng has confessed, "Yukiko-neechan, Eri-neechan, and Shizuka-neechan..."

"Enough." Qiu Tinglian interrupted Lin Xiaofeng, large tears falling one by one. "Let's break up! I want to break up with you, Lin Xiaofeng, you're such a jerk."

“Reiko, I have a reason for this, Tomoko-nee, please help me explain.” Lin Xiaofeng said somewhat flusteredly.

Tomoko Suzuki said, "Reiko, you don't need to be so angry. Let me tell you who these three women are first."

Yukiko's older sister is Yukiko Kudo, whose real name is Yukiko Fujimine. She is a famous actress, but she retired many years ago after getting married.

As for Eri's older sister, she is Eri Kisaki, a very famous lawyer queen in the legal world, and also Kogoro Mouri's ex-wife.

"As for Shizuka-neechan, she was Hattori Heizo's wife, Ikenami Shizuka. They've secretly divorced now."

The explanation was quite clear, and Akiba Reiko heard it very clearly.

To put it bluntly, it's just about married women, married women, and married women on the right.

Two seconds later, Reiko's voice, which she could no longer contain, echoed throughout the room.

"Lin Xiaofeng, you...you like married women that much?" Qiu Tinglian felt incoherent, everything seemed unreal, this was too absurd.

"They are married women, that's true, but that's not the point." Lin Xiaofeng quickly sat down next to Qiu Tinglianzi to soothe her emotions.

Tomoko Suzuki readily agreed with Lin Xiaofeng, saying, "We and the others didn't receive love from our husbands, but Lin Xiaofeng took care of us. Lin Xiaofeng has a compassionate heart. Reiko, you should be proud of Lin Xiaofeng, not throw a tantrum at him, and you certainly shouldn't mention breaking up. I can see that Lin Xiaofeng loves you very, very much, more than anyone else!"

344. The greatest joy for humanity is movement.

In conclusion, Lin Xiaofeng proved himself with his abilities; no matter how many women he had, he was able to take good care of them.

Lin Xiaofeng was currently surrounded by people. To his left was Akiba Reiko, and to his right was Suzuki Tomoko.

Having lost the competition, Akiba Reiko clung to Lin Xiaofeng's arm, her face filled with resentment as she glared at the noblewoman on the other side. Her selfish desires drove her to want Lin Xiaofeng all to herself, unwilling to share him with any other woman.

Suzuki Tomoko treated the former with equality, elegantly combing her black hair with an open and inclusive attitude, and then lazily stretched out her arms to hug the shoulders of the boy beside her in front of Akiba Reiko.

"Well... I already said, Miss Akiba, there's no need for that scary expression. It's because I met Xiaofeng first. If I had to say something, it would be you, Miss Akiba, who was the third party who came between us... or something like that?"

"But you're already married!"

Akiba Reiko was very bothered by this.

"Doesn't a middle-aged woman with two daughters feel ashamed to be flirting with a high school boy?"

"What does it matter? My two daughters will only understand me, accept me, and become me..."

Suzuki Tomoko smiled calmly and rested her cheek on Lin Xiaofeng's shoulder, deliberately making a snuggling motion: "As for Ms. Akiba, your previous question can also be explained. Including what I told Xiaofeng, my marriage with my husband is just a business and political alliance."

"what?!"

“Isn’t this normal? In my social class, marriages are agreements and compromises made for mutual benefit.” Tomoko Suzuki shrugged. “I thought that Ms. Akiba, being in the music industry, would have heard about this kind of thing, but I didn’t expect her to be so pure-minded, still conservatively defending that set of traditional marriage concepts… This kind of thing is not uncommon in high society. For example, after getting married, they have a child as a formality, and then they each do their own thing and don’t interfere with each other. They are husband and wife in name, but in reality, they are friends or colleagues.”

"Besides, even so, I don't mind Xiaofeng going with other women. In fact, I quite support it. After all, managing such a large conglomerate, even with my abilities, I can't be idle every day. At least most of the time, I can't be by Xiaofeng's side... Well, even if I could always be with him, it wouldn't be completely without problems. As for the specific reasons, I think Miss Qiuting, since you have personal experience, you should understand."

Reiko Akiba: "..." Yes, she understood. To put it bluntly, her fiancé was incredibly energetic and had plenty of "ammunition," completely draining her energy and causing her to lose a lot of water. Not only that, but her heart would also degenerate, turning her into a mindless woman controlled by lust. Just like Yukiko, who had the most frequent contact with Lin Xiaofeng, she had completely fallen into depravity, endlessly indulging in the wonderful pleasure Lin Xiaofeng gave her, unable to extricate herself.

"Lin Xiaofeng, you are the demon king Bo Xun who leads people astray!" Qiu Tinglian complained to Lin Xiaofeng.

"I can be either the Demon King or God." Lin Xiaofeng stretched out his arms and hugged the two women even tighter. "I will give you endless happiness. As long as you need me, I will never be stingy."

The two women seemed to sense something and both developed feelings of fondness for Lin Xiaofeng.

Around midnight, Tomoko Suzuki got dressed and went back to her room.

After Suzuki Tomoko left, Lin Xiaofeng jokingly said to Akiba Reiko, "Reiko, aren't you angry with me anymore?"

“What good is it to be angry with you?” Akiba Reiko sighed softly. “Because I’ve realized that I can’t live without you anymore, both mentally and physically. And I can’t imagine life without you, Xiaofeng. I don’t think I could accept going back to that aimless life of just living for the sake of living.”

"Besides, you've already done everything you could and shouldn't have done for me, so how do you expect me to leave?"

“…I didn’t want to either,” Lin Xiaofeng said.

"Don't think about what?"

Reiko Akiba raised her face, looking up at the boy's face so close to hers in the lamplight.

Lin Xiaofeng repeated, "I don't want Lianzi to leave me."

“…Then remember what you said; it’s your promise to me.”

After finishing speaking word by word, Akiba Reiko suddenly stood up, wrapped her arms around the boy's neck, and gently kissed his face.

And so, on the cruise ship, Lin Xiaofeng was sometimes with Suzuki Tomoko, sometimes with Akiba Reiko, and sometimes with all three of them. Their lives revolved around nothing but the pursuit of happiness, and the greatest happiness in humanity is none other than the joy of movement.

Three more days passed, and after sailing at sea for five days and four nights, the Aphrodite finally docked on time in the afternoon of the fifth day.

There was no grand or solemn closing ceremony, but it wasn't overly tragic or desolate either.

Everyone acted as if they were returning from a normal vacation. After hearing the announcement that they could disembark, they each carried their luggage and walked out of the cabin in an orderly manner to the deck. They then climbed ashore one by one from the boarding gate along the ladder.

Lin Xiaofeng and Qiu Tinglian were among the last to disembark and leave. When the two of them climbed down the ladder from the deck to the dock, there were hardly any people left on the dock, except for a black luxury car parked not far in front of them.

The elegant lady leaned back gracefully against the rear door of the car. When she saw Akiba Reiko being helped off the cruise ship step by step by Lin Xiaofeng, she smiled mischievously and waved.

"Oh dear, it seems that five days at sea was too tiring for Miss Akiba. After all, she's used to the 'not-so-stable' ground on the ship, so it's inevitable that she'll feel a swaying sensation when she suddenly returns to land."

"..."

Reiko Akiba had no intention of replying. She knew perfectly well that Tomoko Suzuki was just mocking her. Thinking this, she deliberately tightened her grip on the boy in her arms in front of Tomoko Suzuki.

Noticing Ms. Akiba's actions, Tomoko Suzuki wasn't angry; she simply smiled calmly, shrugged, and spread her hands.

"Alright, everyone had a great time on the trip these past few days. See you later!"

After saying that, Tomoko Suzuki waved to the two of them, turned around, opened the car door, got into the sedan, and drove away.

345. Beautiful Curaçao

Turn around and look at me.

"Oh, but what are you going to do, Reiko..."

Hearing his girlfriend's request, Lin Xiaofeng turned his head obediently. However, before he could even ask what she wanted to do, a pair of fair and delicate hands cupped his cheeks and held them in place.

Immediately afterwards, a pretty face rapidly magnified in his field of vision.
