The more gentle Chu Ming is, the deeper the guilt and gratitude Huihara Ai feels, and the more points Chu Ming gets.
Very good, a virtuous cycle.
Chu Ming nodded secretly with satisfaction. After Huihara Ai had been bandaged, he stood up and made a statement with her: "After we go back, if Conan and the others ask about my injury, just say that you accidentally turned back into Shirley while testing the drug, and were discovered by the organization. I found the injury I suffered when I rescued you."
Huihara Ai nodded, and as she watched Chu Ming driving with injuries all over his body, her tears fell even harder.
Chu Ming watched her lower her head and silently shed tears, and did not stop her.
Looking at the score numbers that have been jumping non-stop since Haibara Ai woke up, I was just short of humming a song to express my excitement.
It turns out that he likes Huibara Ai the most.
What Conan, what can Conan’s magnetic field do!
He is no longer his favorite tool, Haibara Ai is No. 1!
Chapter 496 The organization took away Huiyuan Ai
By the time the car stopped in front of Dr. Agasa's house, it was already noon the next day. Dr. Agasa had called Conan over to look for Haibara Ai together because she had suddenly disappeared and had not returned all morning.
They also planned to ask Chu Ming to look for him together, but they couldn’t get through to Chu Ming on the phone. They didn’t know if he was in seclusion for a meeting again.
The two were wondering if it was someone from the organization who took Haibara Ai away, and were hesitating whether to call the police.
But after all, Haibara Ai's identity is special. Once she calls the police, her identity will most likely be discovered by the organization. If she is not taken away by the organization at that time, it will be even worse.
Just as the two were hesitating, they saw a black car parked downstairs. The passenger door was opened, and Haibara Ai, with a large amount of blood on her body, hurried down from the passenger seat.
Dr. Agasa and Conan were shocked and rushed downstairs.
"Ai, you--" Dr. Agasa had just opened his mouth when he found that Haibara Ai ran to the other side of the car, opened the door, and carried Chu Ming out of the car with difficulty.
When Conan and the others saw Chu Ming's current appearance, they were suddenly shocked and their hearts felt like they skipped a beat.
Chu Ming's eyes were half drooped, his face was pale and almost transparent, and the bright spirit in his eyes under his long eyelashes was now a little dull. There was no trace of blood on his lips. His clothes were cut by a sharp weapon, revealing several shocking wounds that had not been bandaged in time, and the blood-red flesh was turning outwards.
Even the bandaged wound was now soaked in blood, making him look particularly miserable.
"Brother Chu Ming!"
"What happened to Chu Ming?"
The two of them hurriedly stepped forward to help Huibara Ai carry Chu Ming out, and brought him into the room to settle him down. Fortunately, Dr. Agasa's house was relatively remote, and there was no one around at the moment, otherwise it would be bad if they were seen by the neighbors.
"What happened? Why is Chu Ming injured like this?" Dr. Agasa quickly took out the medicine box, took out the extremely effective medicine his friend had given him and handed it to Conan, "This medicine was given to me by a friend of mine, and it is very effective for this kind of external injury. However, it is best to go to the hospital for such a large area of scratches..."
Haibara Ai watched Conan and Dr. Agasa help Chu Ming treat his wounds, and lowered her head to tell Chu Ming the excuse she had discussed with him.
"After the doctor went to sleep in his room, I happened to be finishing the antidote 3.0 that I had newly developed this time, so I went to the laboratory downstairs to complete the last part. As a result, I don't know where the problem went wrong, and in the end, the drug was not made, but an explosion occurred in a very small area. I guess I accidentally inhaled a little bit of it, and the drug suddenly took effect, turning me into Shirley.
It was already early in the morning, and Brother Chu Ming and I felt that there were almost no people around at this time, so when Brother Chu Ming said he would take me out for a midnight snack to relax, I agreed.
As a result, I was probably seen by some outsider while eating, and they called a lot of people to ambush us on the way back to catch me. Fortunately, Brother Chu Ming was there. In order to save me and take me away, he was injured so badly..."
Haibara Ai spoke the story she had just made up in a dry voice. Fortunately, she was already feeling guilty about Chu Ming being injured because of her, so even though her tone was dry, the excuse was full of loopholes, but Conan thought it was a coincidence, so he didn't delve into it.
"Brother Chu Ming's face has been discovered by the organization, so isn't he in danger now? The doctor is in danger too, and we—?" Conan grasped the key point.
Huiyuan Ai shook her head: "No, Chu Ming said that he learned some disguise from your mother, so he changed his face before the fight, and wore a mask. He also switched to English when communicating with me. He said he wanted to pretend to be an FBI agent. Plus, I also looked like an adult, so the appearance of a child was our best disguise..."
"That's fine... but..." Conan scratched his head, "But you said before that the peripheral members don't have much ability. Brother Chu Ming's skills can be said to be very good, so how could he be injured so badly?"
“Although none of them carried guns, probably because firing a gun at night would easily attract the attention of the police, there was also a codenamed member named Granburch who was good at fighting. He was the one we met last time, the one who disguised himself as Chu Mingge.
During the last full moon, after you fell into a coma, I saw him without his disguise. He was the man we saw sitting with a dark-skinned man in the cinema. Many of Chu Ming's injuries were caused by him.
He is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, suddenly appearing to give Chu Ming brother a surprise attack..." Huihara Ai lowered her eyes and did not look at Conan to avoid revealing her flaws, but this metaphor was obviously her true thoughts.
Conan's eyes widened: "It's him! No wonder..."
However, it is true that the codenamed member has strong fighting ability. After all, the person who was able to hastily grab him at the moment he fell from the building must have strong skills.
"Not very strong... just a little bit stronger than me." Conan was shocked and unconsciously increased the strength in his hands. Chu Ming, who was listening to them quietly, opened his eyes slightly and turned his head to look at him dimly, "Can you be gentler? This is my flesh, not a wooden stake. Are you applying medicine... or hammering nails into it?"
Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai glared at Conan who was acting recklessly.
Seeing that Chu Ming's spirits had improved a little, Conan quickly raised his hand: "Okay, okay, I'll be gentle, I'll be gentle. But such a serious injury, and obviously too much blood loss, although emergency treatment has been given, it is still very dangerous, you must go to the hospital immediately-"
"Just bandage it a little. For deeper wounds... I'll ask Watanabe to help me sew them up." Chu Ming frowned slightly and exhaled softly, "It looks like the wound is very deep, but... I avoided most of the fatal injuries, so it looks serious... but it's actually not that serious. But I can't... stay in the hospital. It would be bad if the people from that organization... noticed it."
Chu Ming deliberately spoke these few short sentences slowly and with difficulty. He closed his eyes from time to time, and a few muffled groans escaped from his mouth. His minor injuries were portrayed by him as if they were a last gasp of energy.
As they were talking, several people had already worked together to help Chu Ming spray medicine to help the blood clot, and then bandaged the areas that needed to be bandaged.
Chu Ming propped himself up and half sat up, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Lafitte. At the same time, he repeated the plan he had told Gin, asking him to cooperate with his plan and to behave like a friend when he saw him injured. He also asked him to bring people over to deal with the car.
"Brother Chu Ming, I'm sorry. I--" Huiyuan Ai lay on the bed, wanting to say something but stopping herself, her eyes full of guilt.
Conan also came over: "Brother Chu Ming, have those people discovered Huiyuan? Will they--"
Chu Ming raised his hand with difficulty and touched her head, and then stroked Conan's round head beside him, and answered Conan's question first: "No... When I found someone... who was vaguely looking over here, I consciously... covered my face and prepared to take... take Xiao Ai away. When we were halfway... and saw the road ahead was blocked by a car... I knew it was... someone from that organization... I immediately... changed my appearance. Although it's very crude... but at least you can't tell... my original appearance..."
"And... the first person who saw me and... Ai, I saw him die in... a fight, accidentally injured by... his accomplices... so don't worry... and I also deliberately... communicated in English..."
After explaining the fabricated facts to Conan and seeing that he was obviously relieved, she turned around to comfort Huibara Ai: "Don't be so sad, I'm fine. In this situation, let alone we have known each other for so long, even if we are strangers, I can't just stand by and watch."
Even if they were strangers, he would still watch the show and cheer. How could he not do anything?
Chapter 497: So tangled~
Lafitte came over leisurely.
People only pretend to be anxious and worried when they are about to get off the bus.
In his opinion, Chu Ming's strategy was a bit too presumptuous.
After all, the FBI is not stupid. You point to a little girl and say this is Shirley?
Who believes it?
And if the organization knew that this was Shirley, how could they not take action?
……
But he hid these doubts very well. He frowned and looked worried about Conan who was waiting for him at the door. When he saw Conan, he followed his footsteps and hurried inside, asking about Chu Ming's situation as he walked.
When he heard that Chu Ming was covered in blood, he thought it was an old man and the two children were frightened. They said as if they were going to bleed out all the blood at once...
His complaints came to an abrupt end when he saw Chu Ming lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
He almost ran to the bedside. His hands, which were steady despite years of using scalpels to cut into delicate parts like the brain, were trembling slightly at this moment.
He looked at the scars on Chu Ming's body that were almost visible to the bones, and his breathing quickened for a moment.
Is this due to gin?
This is really not a personal vendetta???
But now Granburch is no longer his little brother!
Does he have any points?
How dare he use such a heavy hand?
"How could you be injured so badly!" he blurted out, "You——"
Chu Ming's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes and looked at him, his eyes full of weakness: "What's serious? I'm here with you~ You're a great doctor~"
"You are still in the mood to talk about this at this time!" Lafitte was furious, but some things were difficult to say with outsiders around, so he needed to take Chu Ming away first.
"No, his injury is too serious. I want to take him to my private clinic." He said solemnly, "I have brought people to deal with the car at the door. When I was in the United States before, I also performed surgery on many Japanese dignitaries, so I can still find people to help. I also arranged for someone to delete the surveillance on the way back. Although I don't know which gang you provoked, but according to your description, the other party can easily mobilize so many people, obviously they are not easy to deal with. For now, just pretend that nothing happened, do what you should do, and don't act rashly."
"We will definitely not tell anyone." Dr. Agasa agreed first, and Conan and Haibara Ai also nodded obediently.
The black car at the door had been driven away, and the one parked at the door was Lafitte's Ferrari.
Chu Ming put on his coat to cover the bandage marks, and was helped by Lafitte into the car. They drove all the way to Lafitte's own private clinic.
It is called a private clinic, but it is actually a converted safe house in Lafitte.
After arriving at the safe house, Lafitte checked to see if there were any eavesdropping or monitoring devices, and this time he looked at Chu Ming with a stern face.
"You're just going to let Gin do what he wants? Aren't you the successor of the BOSS? If you really want to use torture, there's no need to go to this extent, right? Are you crazy? With this level of injury, if you were a little more biased, or if you bleed a little more, you would be dead!" Lafitte was so angry that he pointed at Chu Ming, but in the end, he was still angry and directly made a video call to Gin.
After a while, Gin's face, which was obviously full of impatience, appeared on the screen: "You——"
Before Gin could finish his words, Lafitte had already started to bark at him.
"Gin, are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing? Granburch is the heir personally appointed by the boss. Even if you don't like him or think he is incompetent, you go find the boss. You are so reckless and you don't know how serious the injury is! Do you know how badly Granburch is injured?"
Gin was scolded by Lafitte and his face darkened. Didn't he use too much strength when he attacked him?
How can you call that a minor skin injury?
He mocked directly: "That little wound is considered a serious injury? Then why don't you ask Granburch if he handed the knife to me himself?"
After saying that, Gin hung up the phone directly, not wanting to say anything more to Lafitte.
He knew that Chu Ming was popular in the organization. This kid looked playful and sometimes even mean, but because of his status and age, plus his lively and outgoing personality, many people in the organization liked him.
For example, BOSS, rum, Vermouth, and even Vodka seemed to be very scared of that kid, but if Granburch really had something to do, he probably wouldn't refuse.
Now it seems that even Lafitte and Porter, who had quarreled with Chu Ming when they were together, are more biased towards him.
Gin threw away his phone, not taking Lafitte's accusations to heart at all.
In his opinion, that wound looked serious, but in fact it was just a minor scratch on the outer layer of skin and flesh. Lafitte, a senior doctor, was probably too concerned.
He probably never expected that Chu Ming would disguise his appearance by using his wounds.
Chu Mingben had intended to tell Lafitte that these wounds were fake when he arrived, but seeing that Lafitte was filled with righteous indignation and even wanted to quarrel with Gin, he did not tell him in time. Instead, he watched the video of Lafitte and Gin with shining eyes, his eyes full of quarreling and quarreling.
But it was obvious that Gin didn't want to argue and quickly hung up the phone.
Lafitte was so angry that he clenched his phone tightly. Then, before Chu Ming could react, he took a few photos and sent them directly to his boss to complain.
Not long after the photo was sent, the communication of Lafitte's safe house lit up.
When the BOSS appeared on the screen, Chu Ming was obviously still a little dazed.
How come even the BOSS was alarmed?
The BOSS's gaze passed over Lafitte and fell on Chu Ming. Because Chu Ming wanted to explain the situation to Lafitte, he just opened his clothes, and the wound with skin and flesh turned inside out was directly exposed to the BOSS.
