Chapter 149: Pushing Everything Clean

Listening to her mother's words, Ran Mao Li realized that her mother didn't know about the things in school.

She thought about it and decided to mention it to her mother.

"Mom, actually, besides Miss Shinomiya transferring here, Nagi Sanzenin and Saginomiya also transferred here."

"???"

Eri Kisaki's consciousness paused for several seconds.

After a while, she slowly recovered from her trance.

Nagi Sanzenin and Saginomiya both transferred to Teitan High School?

Is Teitan High School so attractive? How did several young ladies follow and transfer there?

Thinking this way, Eri Kisaki finally reacted.

Then Nagi Sanzenin's help to Shinomiya before wasn't without reason; there must be a certain connection behind this.

Otherwise, after Shinomiya obtained absolute control of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, she wouldn't have transferred to Teitan High School with Nagi Sanzenin.

Therefore, that reason is at Teitan High School.

Eri Kisaki, who was thinking this, was really startled.

God knows what was in Teitan High School that was targeted by several young ladies.

Eri Kisaki was a bit curious about this question.

"Ran, you and them aren't in the same club, are you?"

"Yeah."

"..."

Very good, no wonder that club is not short of activity funds.

At this moment, Eri Kisaki understood why the club her daughter was in not only had sufficient funds but also had considerable power.

With this group of young ladies together, anyone would give them enough power.

Otherwise, the school would be in big trouble.

What's more, a group of young ladies didn't cause trouble in school and even gave the school certain investments and sponsorships; what could the school do?

They could only accept it with tears.

A group of young ladies together is definitely not a coincidence.

Eri Kisaki was very sure of this.

But what is the reason for this?

Don't understand.

Eri Kisaki chose to give up after thinking for a while.

Having walked a long road as a lawyer, she understood a truth: don't ask about things you don't know, because those shouldn't be things everyone should know.

"Where is the place you are going this time?"

"Hmm~ It is said to be an uninhabited archipelago near Tokyo, which seems to be owned by Miss Shinomiya's family."

Then it's not an open place.

Eri Kisaki muttered in her heart.

She actually already knew about the Moon Shadow Island matter at the Metropolitan Police Department; after all, the police department didn't choose to suppress the news of drug dealers, but publicized it extensively.

And they also clearly stated on TV that the police department would start focusing on cracking down on drug dealers next.

It was obviously stimulated by Moon Shadow Island.

"By the way, the place you went to before was also an archipelago near Tokyo; where exactly was it?"

"It was Moon Shadow Island."

"..."

Eri Kisaki's neck suddenly stiffened; if she hadn't asked out of curiosity just now, she really wouldn't have known that the archipelago Ran went to before was Moon Shadow Island.

"The place you went to before was Moon Shadow Island?"

"Eh? Didn't I tell you before, Mom?"

"You just said you were going to an archipelago near Tokyo for outdoor activities."

"..."

Ran Mao Li blinked; she suddenly realized that she really hadn't told her mother in detail about the destination of the outdoor club activities.

It's over.

She was so embarrassed that she couldn't react to what to say at this moment.

"Ah, I also ran into Dad and that child who looks like Shinichi on Moon Shadow Island."

"???"

Eri Kisaki was confused again; how could Kogoro and Yukiko's younger son be involved in this?

"At that time, Sonoko and I saw Dad and that child, and only then did we know that Dad had received a commission to go to Moon Shadow Island."

"Later, I told Miss Shinomiya about it, and it was only after the subsequent investigation by Miss Shinomiya's bodyguard that we knew some things had happened on this island."

"After Sonoko and I returned to the hot spring inn, we learned from the bodyguard that the police had come to the island."

"After that, we were all protected in the hot spring inn by the police who rushed over, and not a single one of us went out."

"It wasn't until after the fact that we knew drug dealers were found on the island."

Ran Mao Li naturally pushed the matter away.

Anyway, Ren's matter couldn't be mentioned, but pushing it to Miss Shinomiya's bodyguard meant Mom couldn't verify it.

Even if Dad saw them on Moon Shadow Island, it couldn't prove that they knew the ins and outs of the drug dealer matter on Moon Shadow Island.

Therefore, pushing it away was absolutely fine.

The main point was that they didn't know beforehand and only knew after the fact.

The person who called the police was the bodyguard of those young ladies, right?

Hearing her daughter's explanation, Eri Kisaki didn't think Ran knew about Moon Shadow Island beforehand, but rather felt that the person who called the police was probably the bodyguard of those young ladies.

And then Eri Kisaki understood why the Metropolitan Police Department was so efficient this time.

I said why the police department's action would be so swift this time.

They even clearly stated on TV afterward that they would deal heavy blows to drug dealers in Tokyo.

I'm afraid it's the power behind those young ladies that is playing a role.

If things are like this, it's reasonable instead.

Thinking this way, if Ran stays with those young ladies, the danger is actually the lowest.

Because there are too many bodyguards around those young ladies.

Eri Kisaki's hanging heart slowly let go.

"Ran, next time you go out for outdoor activities, remember to tell me the specific location."

Although her heart was let go, Eri Kisaki felt she still needed to have a general concept of Ran's destination.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even know a little bit about some things that happened to Ran in the future.

"I know."

The general location definitely didn't need to be hidden, but there was no need to say more about what specific hot spring inn it was; Ran Mao Li knew this very well.

"Ring ring ring~"

Suddenly, a pleasant ringtone came from the room, instantly attracting Ran Mao Li's attention.

Because that ringtone seemed to be her phone's.

She looked down at the vegetables that hadn't been cut on the cutting board and stared at her mother very vigilantly.

"Mom, I'm going to answer the phone; don't touch anything in the kitchen."

"I don't want to smell burnt things in the kitchen."

At this moment, Eri Kisaki only felt that her dignity as a mother was completely crushed by her daughter.

"I know, I know, I won't touch the things in the kitchen."

No way, Eri Kisaki also knew her own level.

Her help would only increase her daughter's workload.

Just right, she also had things to talk to Kogoro about.
