Chapter 34: You Must Work for Me All Your Life
After learning about Gu Meimen's methods, Xiao Ai was not interested in watching the progress of the next lawsuit.
She slowly got up, left the gallery, and walked out of the door of the referee's room.
A little thirsty, I made my way to a vending machine at the end of the hallway.
He took out a five-hundred-dollar coin from his bosom and stuffed it in.
Although he is working for Gu Meimen as a day job, Xiao Ai deeply feels that this guy is a super bastard who is polluted by capitalism, but this boss is still a little humane, and he will give her a little pocket money every month to buy some snacks or something.
Press the button, and with a ding-dong, a can of coffee rolls off the machine.
Coffee was Xiao Ai's most common drink in the past, because she often needed to stay up late to do research work, which became her only companion at night, and over time, almost like nicotine, she couldn't do without it.
Xiao Wai held the coffee in her hand and was about to open it.
At this moment, there was a soft, familiar footstep in my ears.
Xiao Wai didn't look back, and said lightly: "Don't hide there, come out." ”
Conan's figure walked around the corner.
He put his hands in his pockets and looked in the direction of Xiao Ai.
"Gray Plains, it's been so long, don't come unharmed."
Xiao Ai looked back at him and shook his head gently: "Kudo, tell me your purpose, you shouldn't have come to say hello to me." ”
"You're still as cold as ever."
So, Conan nodded, and didn't talk nonsense.
"APTX, the antidote to 4869. You should have the recipe there. ”
"I see." Xiao Ai raised her eyebrows, her eyes clear, "Let me guess, is it that Lan is about to find out your identity, so you have to temporarily become bigger to hide from her eyes?" ”
"You're just as smart except for being cold." Conan nodded in acknowledgement.
"You know what? Kudo. ”
Xiao Wai said lightly.
"People can't go against the torrent of time, if you want to change reluctantly, for a long time, you will be punished."
"Death, for example?" Conan said tentatively.
Xiao Ai didn't speak, but his expression showed everything.
Conan was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I can't care so much, I just don't want Xiaolan to know, I don't want her to be involved in troublesome events by me." ”
"Oh, really?" Xiao Ai smiled softly, "Then you should leave, instead of just lying on her side like kraft candy." ”
“……”
The familiar poisonous words made Conan speechless for a moment.
After a moment, he raised his head.
"Give it to me, Gray Plains, the recipe and the information. I would contact my parents and ask them to find someone to help with the research. ”
"Heh, what a selfish man."
Xiao Wai said lightly.
"In the basement of the doctor's house, drawer No. 3, there is a USB flash drive in it, which stores some of the research materials I have restored."
"Really? Thank you. ”
Conan was in his pockets and was about to leave.
Seeming to hesitate for a moment, he stopped again.
"Gray Plains, you really can't come back?" He looked into Xiao Ai's eyes, "I would like to apologize for my past words, I admit that I was a little impulsive at the beginning, and I didn't take your mood into account when I spoke." ”
Xiao Ai looked at him and smiled slightly.
"My name is Gumeimen, not Gray Plains."
"Really?"
Conan gave Xiao Ai a deep look.
"If the antidote is successfully developed, I will bring you a copy."
After saying this, he left here in a hurry, presumably to hurry back and carry out the research and development of the antidote.
Xiao Ai held the canned coffee and stood quietly in place.
"Come out, you've been listening to it over there for a long time?"
On the other side of the corridor, the figure of Gumeimen stepped out of the shadows.
"I've heard amazing information."
Gu Meimen smiled and clapped his palms.
"So, he's begged you like that, why don't you go back with him?"
He tilted his head, as if curious.
Xiao Ai didn't answer, and asked, "What about your lawsuit?" So soon, is it already over? ”
"Of course not, because there was something wrong with Reiko Kujou, and the judge asked her questions, and she was incoherent, so she had to adjourn the court for thirty minutes. She's like that, she's so easy to deal with. ”
Gu Meimen shrugged his shoulders and looked at Xiao Ai with a smile.
"Okay, don't divert the topic, answer my question."
Xiao Ai still didn't answer, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.
"Guess?"
"Because that little ghost's truth-seeking attitude makes you feel terrified from the inside." Gu Meimen looked into her eyes, "And on the side of the law, the truth is not the only one. ”
Xiao Ai didn't say a word, and looked at him silently.
After a long time, she let out a long sigh: "If you are an opponent, I am afraid it will be the most difficult type to deal with." ”
"Oh, then on the other hand, if I were a teammate, I'd let you lie flat too, right?" Gu Meimen said with a smile.
"You're a ......"
Xiao Ai shook her head gently.
After a pause, her demeanor returned to calm.
"I'll leave tonight and won't cause you any trouble."
She said.
"What's the trouble? What are you talking about? ”
Komimen looked surprised.
He crouched down and patted her on the head.
"Don't be kidding, you're such a useful worker who doesn't need to be paid, where can I find it? You are not allowed to leave, you have to stay and work for me for the rest of my life. Your name is Gu Meimen, and you have to be surnamed Gu Meimen for the rest of your life. ”
Gu Meimen reached out and took the can of coffee from Xiao Ai's hand, and at the same time stuffed a can of pure milk into her arms.
"Also, children are not allowed to drink coffee, just milk."
With that, Gu Meimen smiled slightly, stood up, and left the corridor.
Xiao Ai stood in place in a daze, looking at Gu Meimen's back.
She lowered her head and looked at the milk in her hand.
For a long time, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
"Interesting, then everything is as you wish...... Hopefully, at some point in the future, the moment you learn the truth, you won't regret it. ”
……
Gumeimen walked down the hallway, sipping coffee in his hand.
"A can of coffee costs 250 yen, and a can of milk costs 150 yen, which is a lot of money!"
He muttered to himself, a treacherous smile on his face.
"What I said just now must be handsome in her eyes, so that any job can be pushed to her in the future, and she will be willing to work overtime, without giving any overtime pay, and she can deduct a little more pocket money or something......"
Gu Meimen thought in his heart and sighed in his heart.
Worthy of him, very witty.
After resting in the corridor for a while and looking at the time on his phone, Gu Meimen returned to the referee's room again, preparing for the rest of the lawsuit.
He hummed a song and looked relaxed.
Because of this lawsuit, there is no difficulty for him at all.
After exploring the whole picture of the entire incident at that time, he saw that there were all kinds of loopholes in this case.
Even if you don't use any subordinate means, you will win the showdown.
