Guns and Coffee in the World of Science

Chapter 100 Chen Shuo’s Personal Physician

When Maori Kogoro and his men chased out, Chen Shuo was the only one left in the spacious courtyard. Pu Siqinglan had disappeared. The moonlight shone on the courtyard, making it seem peaceful. Maori Kogoro looked at Chen Shuo in confusion, frowning slightly. "Where's she? Why didn't she catch up?"

Chen Shuo shrugged and answered expressionlessly: "She has a gun, she's very scary, and there's nothing I can do to stop her." His tone was flat, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

Maori Kogoro couldn't help but complain in his heart: "You guy, you can actually be scared away by a gun?" But he didn't say anything else, knowing that his old friend must have his own considerations. Anyway, there was no threat now, so he didn't bother to pursue it.

Ai Haibara walked up to Chen Shuo with a pair of dead fish eyes, with a hint of ridicule in her tone: "Your acting is really bad." Her voice was light, as if she despised Chen Shuo's acting skills.

Chen Shuo smiled slightly and said nothing. He was just giving a reason. He didn't care whether others believed it or not. He believed it anyway.

The incident finally came to an end, and everyone let go of their tension, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up. Natsumi Kosaka, holding the "Egg of Memories," bowed solemnly to Ran Mori, her voice sincere, "Thank you, Miss Mori. If it weren't for you, I might not only lose the 'Egg of Memories', I might even die."

At this moment, Mao Lilan no longer had the heroic spirit as before. She waved her hands quickly with a shy smile on her face: "I'm just doing my job." Her voice was gentle and firm, but the blush on her face betrayed her mood.

The two girls seemed to have become close friends during this experience. Kosaka Natsumi smiled slightly, a friendly glint in her eyes.

At this time, Chen Shuo walked over with a smile, nodded to Natsumi Kosaka and said, "See, I told you that having Xiaolan is enough for this mission, right?" His words revealed his confidence in Ran Mouri.

Kosaka Natsumi nodded, her face full of satisfaction: "Yes, Xiaolan is really amazing, I am so lucky!"

Overhearing their conversation, Mao Lilan shyly threw herself into Chen Shuo's arms, blushing and silent. Her heartbeat quickened, as if the tension she had just felt was instantly replaced by the warmth of the atmosphere. She was still the shy girl, radiating an innocent charm.

Chen Shuo embraced Mao Lilan and gently stroked her hair. Feeling the softness of her hair, he couldn't help but feel a surge of love in his heart. He pulled two glittering gold coins from his pocket, gently placed them in her hands, and said with a smile, "This is the reward for this mission, and also a commemoration of your first mission."

Mao Lilan looked at the gold coins in her hand, a hint of doubt on her face: "What is this?" She held the gold coins carefully, as if admiring a precious treasure.

"This gold coin is of extraordinary value in the underground world. It is the common currency there. One gold coin means one thing." Chen Shuo explained with an encouraging look in his eyes.

Hearing this, Mao Lilan's eyes instantly lit up, and a smile unconsciously curled up at the corners of her mouth. She happily played with the gold coin, gently turning it in her hands, as if every refraction of light could make her feel its unique charm. Her heart was filled with sweetness and pride, as if this was not just money, but also a recognition and a sense of accomplishment.

"I really did it!" Mao Lilan muttered to herself, and the smile on her face grew brighter. She raised her head and looked at Chen Shuo with a firm gaze, as if she was saying, "I will continue to work hard."

After leaving Yokosuka Castle, sunlight shone through the treetops onto the ground, and a gentle breeze caressed everyone. Kosaka Natsumi held Maori Ran's hand, her eyes gleaming with anticipation: "We must keep in touch. Ran, you're so reliable."

Mao Lilan smiled and nodded, her heart filled with warmth: "Of course, we will always keep in touch."

Seeing the two girls reluctant to leave, Maori Kogoro and the clerk got in the car with Shiratori Jinzaburo and drove to the Metropolitan Police Department to take statements. This incident was not a small matter, and it involved a professional killer, so they definitely had to go.

Chen Shuo watched the three people go away and thought to himself: This "Shiratori Ren Saburo" will probably disappear halfway, right?

Sensing Chen Shuo's thoughts, Huiyuan Ai raised her head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Hehe..." Chen Shuo shrugged, a smile on his face: "This Shiratori Ren Saburo is Kidd in disguise."

Haibara Ai's eyes lit up: "So, Kidd is not dead?" She had been worried about Kidd these past two days. After all, he was her sister's benefactor. Now that she knew Kidd was still alive, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"How could this guy die so easily? Silly girl." Chen Shuo ruffled Huibara Ai's hair, causing her to keep calling him "perverted uncle." Then he picked her up, called Xiaolan, and walked towards his car.

Back at the villa, Chen Shuo saw a hint of fatigue on Mao Lilan's face, and a dazed look between her eyebrows. He sighed slightly and said with concern, "Lan, go get some sleep first. You must be exhausted after such a stressful day today."

Mao Lilan nodded and said without any pretense: "Okay, I'll go right away." She didn't even have the energy to take a shower. She went straight back to her room, closed the door, and fell heavily on the bed. She was indeed exhausted.

In the living room, only Huiyuan Ai and Chen Shuo were left. Huiyuan Ai sat on the sofa, holding a fashion magazine in her hands, occasionally looking up at Chen Shuo, her eyes full of thought. The atmosphere was somewhat quiet.

"How did you arrange that Pu Si Qinglan?" Huihara Ai finally broke the silence, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.

Chen Shuo smiled faintly and shrugged: "How do you know I have plans for her? She is a character holding a gun, so she can't just run away on her own?"

"Stop kidding! How could you possibly be scared by a half-crippled killer? You must have been too pretty to kill her, you perverted uncle!" Haibara Ai sneered mercilessly. Then, she lowered her head and continued reading the magazine, but her pouting lips and trembling little feet showed that she was unhappy.

Chen Shuo couldn't help but smile, then he picked up the unhappy Haibara Ai and walked towards the door.

"What are you doing? You perverted uncle! Can't you finally hold it in and attack me?" Huihara Ai was startled, then she calmed down, nestling in Chen Shuo's arms, but she was not forgiving in her words.

"Don't get excited!" Chen Shuo patted her on the back, "I'll take you to a nice place."

Huiyuan Ai's curiosity was piqued: "Where?"

"Keep it secret." Chen Shuo looked at Haibara Ai mysteriously, with a smile on his lips.

"Hmph! Pretending to be mysterious!" Huibara Ai muttered.

The two drove to the entrance of a small private hospital. Ai Huihara curiously glanced at the hospital sign, which read "Asai Private Hospital." She asked in confusion, "Where is this? Why did you bring me to the hospital?"

Chen Shuo didn't answer, but got out of the car on his own. After following him out of the car, Huiyuan Ai's eyes fell on a very beautiful female doctor at the hospital entrance. Seeing her waving excitedly at Chen Shuo, she couldn't help but feel angry and thought to herself: "Why is this perverted uncle so popular with women everywhere?"

Chen Shuo talked with the doctor for a few words and was about to go into the hospital, but found that Huibara Ai did not follow him. He was slightly stunned, turned around and looked at her staying by the car in a huff, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, why don't you come over?" He walked over, picked up Huibara Ai, and introduced her to her: "This is Asai Narimi, a top student who graduated from the Medical Department of the University of Tokyo. Because I saved his life, he can be considered my personal doctor."

Huiyuan Ai looked displeased, with the corner of her mouth curled up: "Such a beautiful female doctor, you must be secretly happy, right? Wait... him?"

Chen Shuo smiled and gently ruffled Huibara Ai's hair: "That's right, he's a man! You little jealous girl!"

Haibara Ai was shocked and stunned for a moment: "What?!" She looked at Chen Shuo in disbelief, then turned to look at the doctor. Because she was too shocked, she didn't even notice the last word in Chen Shuo's words.

Asai Narimi smiled and nodded. He had obviously heard of Huibara Ai's existence. "Yes, I am a man. You are Miss Miyano Shiho that Mr. Chen Shuo mentioned, right? Oh, you should be called Huibara Ai now. Don't worry, I won't compete with you for Mr. Chen Shuo."

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Huiyuan Ai's face. Then she reacted and yelled with a red face: "I won't snatch him away! A perverted uncle like him! Who would like him?! "

Looking at her arrogant look, Asai Narumi couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle. That look... was even more feminine than any other woman.

After a few laughs and jokes, Asai Narimi took Chen Shuo and Huihara Ai to the hospital. On the way, Chen Shuo began to tell Huihara Ai the story of Asai Narimi. After hearing what happened, Huihara Ai couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for Asai Narimi.

"How pitiful! Those drug addicts deserved it," she sighed. "So, how did you rescue him? It's not easy to fake a scene like that. By the way, why are you so kind?"

Chen Shuo shrugged, appearing calm. "As long as they have gold coins, the cleaners in the underground world can do things beyond your imagination. Faking a fire scene is not difficult. Besides, Asai Narimi is a talented person. It would be a pity if he died in the fire. Why not work for me? It can be considered a new life for him."

"Hmph! A heartless, perverted uncle!" Huibara pouted, but there was a hint of a smile on her face.

"Oh? My nickname has a new suffix?" Chen Shuo raised his eyebrows and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Haibara Ai glared at him fiercely, but for some reason, she breathed a sigh of relief after knowing Asai Narumi's true gender, as if a huge stone in her heart had suddenly fallen.

The three of them walked into the observation room of a hospital ward, and Huihara Ai's eyes were immediately drawn to the woman on the hospital bed. Lying there unconscious was Pu Siqinglan, her white hospital gown making her look particularly fragile. Though her face was a little pale, the fierceness between her brows could still be seen.

"Is this... Pu Si Qinglan?" Huihara Ai asked in shock, her heart full of doubts, then turned to Chen Shuo, her face full of confusion.

Chen Shuo nodded calmly, a hint of thought in his eyes. "That's right. Although this woman's abilities aren't great, she's quite measured in her actions and is worthy of my training."

"Train her?" Huiyuan Ai frowned slightly, clearly puzzled by this decision: "What's the point of doing this?"

"The current situation requires me to have my own team." Chen Shuo's tone was calm and firm. "I'm starting to expand my business now. I can't rely on myself to solve all the problems. The right manpower will make me more relaxed."

Huiyuan Ai silently pondered Chen Shuo's words. She didn't mind Pu Siqinglan's identity, but was curious about Chen Shuo's so-called "stall". She sighed softly. Although she didn't fully understand, she began to accept this decision.

"You are really... unexpectedly good at using people." Haibara Ai said half-jokingly, her eyes still fixed on Pu Si Qinglan.

"This isn't an accident, it's inevitable." Chen Shuo smiled faintly, his eyes gleaming with a calm and profound light. "In this world, only by knowing how to utilize all resources can you survive."
