Chapter 7: Meeting Conan
In the spacious and bright real estate trading center, Shiho Miyano pointed to a house model and said, "Honey, what do you think of this one? The price is quite reasonable, and the surrounding scenery is also very nice!"
Lin Yu's lips curved into a slight smile. "Well... it looks good. My baby has excellent taste." He gently touched Shiho Miyano's head and looked at her lovingly.
However, at that moment, a discordant voice suddenly cut through the air: "Get out of the way, you two poor things!" A woman dressed extravagantly approached and shoved Shiho Miyano aside.
Shiho Miyano was nearly knocked to the ground by the sudden push, but fortunately, Lin Yu was quick to catch her.
The woman didn't even glance at them and began selecting a house for herself. Shiho Miyano frowned and said unhappily, "Why is that person so rude?"
Lin Yu patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Ignore her. People like her aren't worth our anger." A fleeting hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"What? You're not convinced?! Let me tell you, I'm the vice president of the Suzuki Group. If you piss me off, you won't have a place to live in Tokyo."
The woman glared at them fiercely, her eyes filled with a threatening and arrogant light.
"Vice President of the Suzuki Group? Is that supposed to be impressive? How come I didn't know there was someone like you in my family's company?"
A clear and pleasant voice echoed from the entrance of the real estate transaction center.
"Who are you? Butt out of other people's business!" The woman's face contorted with dissatisfaction and anger at being interrupted, and she glared viciously at the door.
"Who am I?" the newcomer scoffed. "Clean out your ears and listen carefully. My name is Suzuki Sonoko, and the Suzuki Group is owned by my family. Who do you think I am?!" Suzuki Sonoko stood at the door with her hands on her hips, her voice louder than ever. Behind her were Ran Mouri and Conan.
"Why are they here? Something bad might happen with that Grim Reaper around," Lin Yu muttered softly.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Shiho Miyano, who was standing nearby, noticed Lin Yu's change in demeanor and asked with concern.
Lin Yu shook his head gently, his lips curving into a sly smile. "It's okay, we'll watch a good show later!" His tone was full of mystery, which made Shiho Miyano a little curious, but she didn't press further.
"You...you are the Second Miss?!" The arrogance on the woman's face vanished instantly, replaced by an expression of pure fear. Her body trembled, her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the ground.
"Yes, I am Suzuki Sonoko," Suzuki Sonoko said coldly. "You are fired, effective immediately. We at the Suzuki Group have no need for bullies."
Hearing this, the woman's face turned ashen, and her eyes widened, filled with despair and terror. She knew that her behavior had angered the second daughter of the Suzuki family. If she lost this job, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So, the woman immediately threw herself at Suzuki Sonoko's feet, clutching her calves tightly, and begged pitifully, "Second Miss, please forgive me this time! I really can't afford to lose this job!"
However, Suzuki Sonoko remained unmoved. She looked at the hateful woman in front of her with disgust, kicked her lightly, and said coldly, "Get out! Don't touch me!"
The woman cried out in pain from the kick but still refused to let go and continued to plead. At this point, the bodyguards of the trading center surrounded her, grabbed her arms, and forcibly dragged her away.
The woman struggled and begged for mercy, but no one showed her any sympathy.
