Conan: Ran, don't turn around, I'm a washing machine.

Chapter 166 Confession

This kind of benefit isn't available every time.

There was no murderer in Shinichiro Yoshiteru's death, since the people here were either plunged into grief or immersed in joy.

They no longer cared whether it was murder or an accident; they just accepted whatever the police said.

The police had already determined the location and left.

"We are truly sorry to have disturbed you today." Kogoro Mouri and his two companions bowed and apologized outside the door.

Before Shinichiro could speak, Yoko Shinichi interrupted with a smile, "Mr. Mori, you're too kind. We'll invite Mr. Mori and his family over again next time you have time." She then secretly winked at Su Xingbo.

After exchanging greetings, Su Xingbo drove to pick up the Mao Li father and daughter.

The difference from when they arrived is that Kogoro Mouri is no longer sitting in the front row; Ran is now sitting in the passenger seat.

Kogoro Mouri just wanted to test the waters and see what was going on between the two of them.

The two then held hands and started dating, oblivious to everyone else, completely ignoring Kogoro Mouri sitting in the back seat.

"Hey, brat, what's your relationship with Sonoko now?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.

Su Xingbo smiled calmly and said, "Yuanzi is my girlfriend, so what, Uncle Mori?"

"So what's going on between you and Ran? Does Ran know about this?" Kogoro Mouri questioned.

Xiao Lan stammered, unsure of what to say, and could only look to Su Xingbo for help, hoping he would explain.

Su Xingbai waved his hand and said, "Uncle Maoli, what era are we living in? It's normal to have multiple wives and concubines. Look at those tycoon magnates, they all have more than a dozen women. This kind of thing is not surprising."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's face turned red with anger, and he roared, "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting! This is modern society, monogamy is the only legal system!"

Su Xingbo, however, didn't care at all. "Uncle, Yuanzi and I are truly in love, but I also truly love Xiaolan. Besides, as long as we love each other, formalities don't matter."

Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to retort, Ran suddenly mustered up her courage and said, "Dad, actually I like Hoshiba too."

Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened; he could hardly believe his ears.

Am I really getting old and unable to keep up with modern society?

Just as Kogoro Mouri was having an existential crisis, Su Xingbo secretly gave Ran a thumbs-up to his chest, a gesture Kogoro Mouri couldn't see.

Xiao Lan returned a shy smile.

And so, they soon arrived at the Mori Detective Agency.

The two of them got out of the car first, and Su Xingbai closed the car door and followed them out.

Kogoro Mouri pointed at the car with a puzzled look and asked, "It's so late, you don't need to get out of the car to see us off. Go home and get some rest."

Unexpectedly, Su Xingbo turned the tables, patted his shoulder, and said with a faint smile, "Uncle Maoli, I'll be staying with Xiaolan tonight. Xiaolan and I have already had sex. I'll come over and sleep with Xiaolan whenever I have free time."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri flew into a rage and rushed forward to punch Su Xingbo, determined to throw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw!

Su Xingbo nimbly dodged and hid behind Xiaolan. Xiaolan quickly stopped her father and called out, "Dad, calm down."

Kogoro Mouri stopped chasing, utterly bewildered as to why Ran would do such a thing.

"Ran, how could you do such a thing?" Kogoro Mouri angrily questioned.

“Dad, I love him very much, and he loves me deeply too. We are both adults and can be responsible for our own actions,” Xiaolan said firmly.

These words deeply moved Su Xingbai. He put his arm around Xiaolan's slender waist and couldn't help but gently rub it, which made Xiaolan let out a few coquettish moans.

Kogoro Mouri was panting with anger when Conan ran down from a short distance away. Actually, he had been watching the situation closely, waiting for them to return so he could run over and stage a chance encounter.

Seeing the tense scene before him, Conan roughly understood what was going on.

His eyes darted around, and he walked over to Kogoro Mouri and said softly, "Uncle, don't be angry. Maybe there's a misunderstanding. Can we investigate it slowly?"

After hearing Conan's words, Kogoro Mouri calmed down a bit, and Su Xingbo took the opportunity to say, "Uncle Mouri, I know this is hard to accept, but I will treat Ran well."

Kogoro Mouri snorted and turned to walk into the office. Ran breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance with Su Xingbo, and the two followed him in hand in hand.

Conan stood there, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. After the three of them went up to the second floor, Conan also returned to his villa.

After all, there's a big boss up there now. If he goes there this late, he'll definitely get kicked out. He might as well just go back.

Back in his room, Kogoro Mouri sat in his favorite chair and started chugging beer.

Xiao Lan took his hand and led him back to her room. After closing the door, she asked him in an annoyed tone.

"Why did you say those strange things to Dad just now? Dad misunderstood us."

Su Xingbo pulled her onto the bed and patiently explained, "Instead of letting Uncle Mori find out and get furious, it's better to be honest with him now. That way, even if Uncle Mori can't accept it, he'll be mentally prepared. Isn't that better?"

"Well, well." Xiaolan thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense, but then she asked again, "Then we don't need to say that we've already done that, right? How will Dad see me in the future? I won't be able to face Dad anymore."

Su Xingbai thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a small matter.

He touched her pointed corners, and wow, they were quite soft; he had thought they would be hard.

"Silly girl, do you think Uncle Mori will believe everything we say? Do you really think Uncle Mori is a fool? In a few days, he will naturally find out about you and me, and then your worries will be gone."

"Most importantly, Uncle Mori won't just listen to my side of the story; he still trusts his daughter a lot."

After some explanation, Xiaolan's expression softened slightly, but she still didn't give Su Xingbai a very friendly look.

Are you really not going home tonight?

"Whether you want me to go back or not, I'll do whatever you say." Su Xingbo looked at her with a mischievous grin.

Xiaolan looked completely calm, unlike her previous self.
