Chapter 145 Car Tire Blowout
How could such a large group not afford to spend this little money on maintaining the villa?

It's just a few light bulbs, would they be reluctant to replace them?
Isn't this dark corridor unworthy of the identities of the guests attending this banquet?

Conan was very confused about this question.

…………

Half an hour later...

"Chairman!"

At the end of the banquet, a guard ran in and said to Chairman Sijing: "The car that the young lady was riding in just now has a flat tire!"

"How could this happen?" Sijing Lihua covered her mouth with her hands, looking aggrieved.

"In that case, why not use my Ferrari to take the young lady home?" A handsome professional elite next to her invited.

"No, I think it's better for you, Miss, to ride in my Porsche."

“My Mercedes is pretty good, too.”

Several professional elites rushed to speak up and invited the young lady to get into their cars.

"But..." the guard said with a strange look on his face: "Your cars also have flat tires."

"Huh? What?"

Several professional elites looked puzzled.

"Your car has a flat tire?" Sonoko came over and asked curiously, "I'm Suzuki Sonoko from the Suzuki Group. I don't think my car has a flat tire, either?"

Yuanzi revealed her identity, which attracted the attention of the professional elites around her. They all looked over with some surprise on their faces.

You have to know that this person is the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group. In terms of status, her status is far superior to that of Yotsuga Rika.

How can a mere Shijing Group be compared with the Suzuki Group?
The two are simply not on the same level.

Thinking of this, a glimmer appeared in the eyes of these professional elites.

if………

They won the love of Sonoko, inherited the Suzuki family's property, and became the chairman of the Suzuki Group. At that time, would they still need to care about the Yotsuba Group?

In their eyes, Suzuki Sonoko is obviously a better target than Yotsuga Rika!

Everyone started to have some thoughts.

"Are you the daughter of the Suzuki Group?" The guard frowned and answered truthfully, "If I saw correctly, your car also had a flat tire."

"Eh? Why is this happening?" Yuanzi asked in surprise, "Who did this prank?"

Hanai Akiko also stood up, walked over, and asked, "I'm the chairman of the Hanai Group. Is my car okay?"

When the people around heard this, they all gasped.

They didn't expect that there was such a big shot hiding at this banquet.

Compared to the heir Suzuki Sonoko, the chairman of the Hanai Group is obviously more prestigious!
Moreover, the chairman is still very young and can be considered a beauty.

They have a better purpose.

I just don’t know what this young chairman’s personality is like and whether he is easy to get along with.

The two big bosses from the Suzuki Group and the Hanai Group appeared one after another and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

They focused their eyes and attention on Suzuki Sonoko and Hanai Akiko, and no one paid attention to Yotsuga Reika's feelings.

This made Shii Rika feel very uncomfortable.

As a young lady who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and the heiress of the Shijing Group, she is sought after and flattered wherever she goes.

Where had she ever been treated so coldly?
It's like a proud peacock, and one day someone suddenly plucks out its beloved feathers. How can it bear it?

Shijing Lihua's face suddenly turned ugly. If she hadn't taken into account the power of the Suzuki Group and the Hanai Group, she would have turned hostile.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her, not even her father, the chairman of the Sijing Group.

Ever since Hanai Akiko appeared, this middle-aged man has only had eyes for her.

Because he knew that if he could gain the other party's appreciation, the power of the Sijing Group would definitely be able to reach a higher level.

Faced with this opportunity, how could he care about his daughter who was as proud as a peacock?

In front of Hanai Akiko, even Chairman Shii appeared very polite, even a little restrained, and did not dare to act rashly.

He just hoped that his polite attitude could leave a good impression on Hanai Akiko.

"Chairman of Huajing Group?" The guard continued, "Your car also has a flat tire."

"How strange." Hanai Akiko frowned and said unhappily, "Chairman Shijing, I hope you can find the mischievous guy as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Seeing that the other party was a little unhappy, Chairman Sijing immediately responded.

Then he bowed apologetically.

"terribly sorry!"

Seeing that Chairman Shijing's attitude was very sincere, the displeasure on Hanai Akiko's face eased a little.

Just as Chairman Shii was talking to Hanai Akiko, Sonoko came to see Xiaolan and the others.

"Yuanzi? You're here too?" Xiaolan was a little surprised to see her good friend at the banquet: "So you're here too, why didn't you come to see us earlier?"

"There's no other way. I met Miss Hanai and talked to her for a few words." Sonoko said helplessly.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm here too." Ze Yu stood out from behind Sonoko and said with a smile.

Standing next to him was Huihara Ai.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Ai, why are you here too?" Seeing Ze Yu was also present, Xiao Lan became even more curious.

"Xiao Ai and I came here with someone else, but that person had something urgent to do and went back early." Ze Yu replied calmly, "Because he went back early, the car didn't have a flat tire."

"I think the flat tire must have happened later. I was planning to take Sonoko's car home, but she also had a flat tire. Now we can't go back."

Speaking of this, Ze Yu's face showed some regret.

"Really? Which bastard punctured my tire?" When talking about this matter, Yuanzi was also a little angry. She clenched her fist and said angrily: "Don't let me catch you!"

"But, speaking of it..."

Sonoko changed the subject and said with some surprise: "So Zeyu is the 'Xiaoyu' that Xiaolan often mentioned. What a coincidence."

"Yes, it's a coincidence. I didn't expect that Sister Sonoko is the 'Sonoko' that Sister Xiaolan occasionally mentioned." Ze Yu chuckled.

Hearing this, Huibara Ai looked at Ze Yu thoughtfully.

But she knew Ze Yu's true identity, so she naturally wouldn't think that Ze Yu really didn't know Yuan Zi's identity.

Haibara Ai knew that Sawawa must be acting.

Just like Conan often disguises himself as a child, however, Conan has no choice but to do so, while Ze Yu is purely... just playing.

Xiaoyu really has a bad taste.

Haibara Ai thought silently.

…………

Next, everyone went into the parking lot and checked the damaged cars.

"There are a total of eight damaged cars, and all of their tires were punctured." A tall, bearded professional elite came to this conclusion after a while of inspection.
