I'm writing a novel in Ming Ke, if you mess with me, you'll be the heroine

"Because I can't risk myself for you." Chu Ming curled his lips and dropped a bombshell on Conan.

“You want to use Vermouth’s plan, but Vermouth is already in dire straits herself. Gin had already noticed something was wrong with her, so the bomb in the last carriage was fake and wouldn’t explode. Once the train derails, Kid won’t have a chance to escape; he’ll be caught and brought back to the organization. If I don’t expose Kid’s disguise, I’ll be the one held accountable when he’s brought back.”

"What! What about Vermouth now—"

Conan's eyes widened. The news Granburg had just revealed was undoubtedly explosive. Conan had gotten quite a bit of information from Vermouth over the years, and now that he suddenly heard that Gin had discovered something was wrong with Vermouth, he was immediately shocked.

"Stop worrying about others; you can barely take care of yourself right now." Chu Ming looked at the USB drive in Conan's hand. "You and Kid look so alike, haven't you ever wondered why?"

Conan looked up blankly: "There are actually quite a few people who look like me. When I went to watch Hattori's kendo tournament, I also met another person who looked a lot like me. Maybe I just have a generic face."

"..."

Even Kid, who had been quietly watching Conan and Granbury clash, was speechless. How could he be considered an average face? His face was so handsome! So many girls at his school admired and liked him, how could he be considered average!

"Your fathers are brothers." Chu Ming's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Conan and Kid's hearts directly.

Both of them doubted their ears.

"No, how could that be... My dad never told me... How could you know something I don't even know?" Conan was so anxious that he was incoherent, his mind was a mess, and he had no idea what he was saying.

He turned to look at Kidd, trying to glean something from him, only to find that Kidd also looked completely bewildered.

“Don’t question me. Don’t forget, we took Noah’s Ark with us back then, and its specialty is DNA tracing. I used Hiroki’s authority to investigate and found that you two are actually cousins.” Chu Ming looked at the USB drive in Conan’s hand. “The specific investigation results are on the USB drive. You can take your time to look at them.”

Conan looked down at the USB drive in his hand, paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something and looked up at Chu Ming: "So you're planning to use this information to help me? What do I need to do to cooperate with you?"

Granbury suddenly came to him, said all that, and even gave him a USB drive. It couldn't just be about giving him information; there might be some plan that required his cooperation.

"No need, your lack of attention is the biggest help you can give me. I just found this news and thought it was quite interesting. As a person who knows proper etiquette, I can't come to see you empty-handed, so I brought it to share with you."

Chu Ming spoke casually, then casually shifted the blame onto Kidd, while also covering up for his own alias, "Kidd, I underestimated you for being able to kill those organization members guarding you so cleanly and escape from the base. However, by causing the organization to lose a base, you've certainly made a lot of enemies this time."

"I didn't!" Kidd was completely taken aback that he had made a scapegoat for Lucifer, and quickly explained, "I sneaked away when they weren't looking, I didn't kill them, and I didn't do anything to your base!"

Conan chimed in, "Yes, Kid never kills anyone. Those organization members you mentioned might have run away because Kid got lost and they were afraid of being unable to explain themselves—"

Chu Ming scoffed lightly, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Generally, the peripheral members who can enter the base all have tracking chips implanted in their bodies to prevent betrayal. Do you think the organization wouldn't know if they ran away?"

"Maybe...maybe they dug out the tracking chip and destroyed it while they were running away?" Conan just couldn't believe that Kid would kill someone.

"None of that matters. What matters is that not only have the chips guarding your perimeter disappeared, but Kidd was also able to escape from the base unscathed. Given Gin's cautious nature, to ensure the organization's safety, that base must have been destroyed by now. And before he escaped, he received a message from someone who should have been dead long ago." Chu Ming looked at the two with a half-smile. "What do you think Gin's feelings are right now?"

Conan's expression changed slightly: "Then my identity..."

Chu Ming chuckled and, in a moment of mercy, revealed to Conan some information he might have figured out himself: "Do you think Sherry has shrunk since she was taken away for so long?"

Conan was genuinely startled this time. His pupils contracted sharply, and he looked up at Chu Ming with a bewildered and helpless expression: "You mean... Gin already... knows?"

Seeing that Conan finally knew what fear was, Chu Ming continued irritably, "Even with Sherry shrunk, you still received news that the person you caught was Shinichi Kudo. Do you think Gin could have guessed that your mother, who was an expert in disguise and trained with Vermouth, would have thought of that?"

Hearing this, Conan finally realized the seriousness of the situation. In the past, whether he was in the dark or in the light, he had never been able to get the better of that organization. Now that his identity had been exposed and most of his trump cards had been revealed, what could he use to fight against the organization?

He frantically pulled out his phone, muttering to himself, "Mom, Dad, Ran, and Chu Ming are in danger! I have to call Mr. Okiya and see if he can send the FBI to protect them... Oh, and Professor Agasa too..."

It was rare for Conan to be so panicked; he fumbled for a while before finally managing to pull out his phone, his hands trembling slightly.

Chu Ming coldly watched his movements, stopping him just as he was about to dial the number. His words were full of killing intent and warning: "Alright, I just said that I made a deal with Sherry and I will protect you this time. But if there is a next time, I will kill you myself without Gin lifting a finger."

Conan was enveloped by Chu Ming's heavy, viscous killing intent, his blood seemed to freeze, and his breathing became difficult. At this moment, all his plans, schemes, disguises, and even his proud reasoning were as fragile as a thin layer of ice in the face of this pure killing intent.

He instinctively took two steps back, trying to escape the absolute oppression. He thought the murderous intent Granbury had shown when he tried to strangle him last time was terrifying enough, but at this moment, Conan realized that when Granbury really wanted to kill him, there was a despair of being on the verge of death and having his sanity collapse.

Chu Ming was pleased to see fear in Conan's eyes before turning his gaze away: "Don't get involved with the FBI, and don't try to be clever."

Seeing that Conan remained silent, Chu Ming left behind a meaningful final remark and turned to leave.

"Remember, everything about you is under the control of the organization."
