Chapter 104 Villa in the Forest
"Lan, Sonoko, long time no see." Ze Yu kept smiling and said in a soft and elegant tone: "I heard from Conan that you are going to have a party in a few days?"

"Yes, we are going to the Sonoko family villa, and then other people will also go there." Xiaolan nodded.

"Last night, Conan came to me and wanted me to go with him." Ze Yu smiled and said, "Can you take me with you to this party?"

"Of course!" Sonoko said excitedly. Although she tried her best to remain calm, she could not hide her excitement.

"Okay, it's settled. On the day of departure, Conan will contact me and we'll go together."

After saying that, Ze Yu chatted with the two of them for a few words and then turned and left.

After Ze Yu left, Yuan Zi no longer had to pretend to be a lady. Her true colors were immediately revealed. She showed an exaggerated smile and said happily, "That little brat Conan is still useful!"

"Sonoko." Xiaolan asked curiously, "This is the second time you and Mr. Ershiyu have met, right? You seemed very excited when you saw him. Do you like him?"

"Ah?" Yuanzi's smile froze, and she said in surprise: "Is it that obvious? I have tried my best to act like a lady..."

"Your acting is terrible." Xiaolan said helplessly, "I guess even Conan can see what you're thinking."

"That's too bad." Yuanzi couldn't help but get a little crazy: "My image as a lady!"

"Also, as for that brat Conan, I'm going to find a chance to give him a good beating!" Sonoko said with her arms folded across her chest, snorting.

When Sonoko thought that even Conan could see through her disguise, she couldn't help feeling angry, even though it had nothing to do with Conan.

Hearing this, Xiaolan felt speechless. It seemed that she had accidentally tricked Conan.

But it doesn't matter. Judging from Sonoko's personality, there is a high probability that she was just joking.

"You're right." Sonoko tidied up her messed-up hair and said with a smile, "I do like Mr. Nijiuyu, but I just like him."

"A man with such excellent conditions like him will definitely have no shortage of girls pursuing him." Sonoko seemed very frank: "Among those girls, there should be many who are better than me. After all, if we ignore the Suzuki Group, I am just an ordinary girl."

"How should I put it... You can understand that Mr. Ershiyu and I are not suitable for each other, and he deserves a better girl to accompany him."

This is what Sonoko really thinks. Perhaps it is because Ze Yu is too handsome, which makes it difficult for Sonoko to want to pursue him.

So, her feeling towards Ze Yu was just liking, not love.

Strictly speaking, Sonoko's liking for Sawaha is probably equivalent to her liking for Kaito Kid.

Sonoko spread her hands and said, "Mr. Twenty-foot probably doesn't think highly of me anyway. As for the Suzuki Group behind me, it won't have any effect. I have a feeling that he is definitely not the kind of person who pursues fame and fortune. The Suzuki Group has no appeal to him."

What's more, Sonoko didn't like this kind of hypocritical relationship maintained by interests, so when she dated those boys, she never mentioned that she was the second daughter of the Suzuki Group.

If those boys would pursue her because of the Suzuki Group behind her, Sonoko would look down on them.

"In short, men like Mr. Rikuha are the most suitable for liking, but if you really want to fall in love, forget it," Sonoko concluded.

She looked relaxed, and her emotions did not fluctuate much when she said these words.

Although Sonoko is a nymphomaniac, she is actually a good girl who always wants to find a good boy.

Although in Sonoko's opinion, Zeyu is a rare good boy, she feels that she and Zeyu are not suitable to be together, and if that happens, she will be under a lot of pressure.

"Yuanzi, is that what you think?" Xiaolan looked at him in surprise. She had never expected that Yuanzi, who was so obsessed with flowers, could have such a broad mind.

Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance.

…………

A few days later………

In a dense forest, Xiaolan and Conan walked side by side.

"Sister Xiaolan, why haven't you arrived yet?" Conan asked in a bored tone, "Did you take the wrong road?"

"Impossible, I remember that the villa should be nearby..." Xiaolan looked at the map in her hand, feeling a little annoyed.

Conan rolled his eyes helplessly: "I really took the wrong road..."

After going around in a circle, they finally arrived at the right place. They saw a villa on the opposite bank. There was a deep ravine between the two banks, connected only by a wooden suspension bridge, which did not look very sturdy.

This place looks dangerous.

"Finally here." Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, then widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Who is that?"

I saw a guy wearing a black cloak standing on the suspension bridge. Even his face was wrapped in bandages, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. There was a terrifying murderous intent in those eyes.

Conan's eyes widened as well.

The next moment, the strange figure rushed to the other side of the suspension bridge without looking back and disappeared into the forest next to the villa.

"That guy...is his target also that villa?" Xiaolan was a little surprised. Although she was very strong, she was still very afraid of these weird things.

"No way?" Conan had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, a figure in a white shirt appeared behind them, and a soft voice came: "What's wrong with you?"

"what!"

Both Xiaolan and Conan were startled by the sudden sound. They turned around and saw each other clearly before they relaxed.

"So it's Mr. Twenty-foot..." Xiaolan explained: "Just now, a strange figure walked across the suspension bridge. Just when we were alert, you happened to appear. Conan and I were both scared."

"A strange figure?" Ze Yu's smile seemed to be meaningful. "Maybe some kid playing house?"

"Let's go. If I can meet that kid, I will teach him a lesson and tell him not to come out and scare people in broad daylight."

After Ze Yu finished speaking, he walked across the suspension bridge first. Xiaolan and Conan looked at each other and hurried to follow.

With Ze Yu here, Conan feels relieved and is not as nervous as before.

No matter how powerful that bandage monster is, he can never be a match for Ze Yu.

Ze Yu has a unique charm that can give people a sense of security. Even though Xiaolan doesn't know his abilities, as long as he appears, Xiaolan feels safe.
