The location of each high-level meeting of an organization is not fixed. Not only the location of the meeting, but also the meeting time may change at any time.

This is all to prevent hostile forces from intercepting relevant intelligence before the meeting begins and taking action against it. Everyone is aware of this and few people complain about it.

But this was the first time a meeting was held so suddenly.

The senior executives who were attending the meeting online from all corners of the world tacitly did not mention this point in the meeting. They silently waited for the order from the gentleman on the screen that was black from beginning to end, with similar expressions on their different faces.

It was an expression of impending storm.

No one present who could attend this meeting was a fool, and they would naturally notice the difference in this meeting - the first ones to be noticed were Ricardo and Gin who were sitting together.

Whenever these two sworn enemies meet, sparks are bound to fly, just like there can't be two tigers in one mountain. This incompatible situation has long been talked about by the members of the organization and is regarded as an indispensable topic for casual conversation.

They were somewhat surprised that they could sit together and hold a meeting peacefully.

However, no matter how surprised they were, no one would be so ignorant as to talk about such a topic in such an occasion. Moreover, judging from the situation, the protagonist of this meeting was someone else.

"Well," the pitch-black display interface emitted a harsh electronic synthesized sound. This sound was different from Rum's usual pretentious voice changer. It was more like a sound directly converted by a machine.

"The meeting begins."

Xing Haiyin leaned back in his chair and pressed a few times on the system panel under the table. No one noticed his little movement. Even in a room full of cameras, his movements were just like moving his fingers and would not arouse any suspicion.

On the system panel that no one else could see, the program connected to the conference network began to run, and the bright blue decryption progress bar slowly moved forward.

As long as the progress reaches 100%, he will be able to find the whereabouts of that gentleman. Before that, this meeting must not end too quickly.

Xinghaiyin looked at Rum's display interface, smiled slightly, and then he stood up and said, "Let me announce the purpose of this meeting, everyone."

"Xinghai, why are you here?" Edogawa Conan landed on the ground with his feet. His heartbeat, which had accelerated rapidly due to the feeling of being suspended in mid-air, had not slowed down yet, but his face was already full of the desire to get to the bottom of the matter.

Of course, he came to collect Fuji's soul into the tool - if that can be called a soul.

But of course this cannot be said directly, nor can it be a suitable reason.

So Xing Hai Ya or stood up and simply asked, "Is there any reason why I can't be here?"

Edogawa Conan paused when he heard this. He looked at his friend with some helplessness, who was perfunctory in his attitude. He didn't expect that the other party would be so lazy as to not even make up a reason for him.

"Anyway, let's go first," Xing Hai Ya looked up at the museum where flames were shooting up into the sky. Her heart vaguely empathized with the people in the fire, as if the pain of being burned by the raging fire wrapped around her organs made of flesh and blood, making her heartbeat so fast that it gradually became disordered.

"It's too dangerous here."

Speaking of this, Edogawa Conan turned around abruptly, "There is still someone in the museum who hasn't come out yet, he——"

"I know." Xing Hai Ya interrupted him. The increasingly intense pain caused by empathy swept over him, almost covering his entire thoughts, but the boy's expression did not change at all, it was calm to the point of being almost indifferent.

"But you can't help here now, so you should leave first. Xiaolan is waiting for you over there."

Xinghai Ya pointed in the direction away from the fire scene.

Edogawa Conan's keenness always comes into play at particularly critical moments. He can perceive the criminal's intentions at the first moment at the scene, and he can quickly find out all the wrongs in reasoning, and this time is no exception.

He grabbed the sleeve of the silver-gray-haired boy, raised his face and looked at him seriously, "Xinghai, what's wrong with you?"

Xing Haimei's forehead was covered with sweat due to the pain. He actually didn't expect the so-called sequelae to be so serious. At this time, he even had no time to think about Edogawa Conan's problem. But fortunately, Fuji was saved for the time being. Regardless of whether the other party is still alive in the true sense, at least the highest degree of security has been achieved within the scope of the smooth implementation of the plan.

When Edogawa Conan noticed that Xing Haimei's eyes were slightly dazed, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. After the latter came back to her senses, she glanced at him, and then seemed to be relieved suddenly. She closed her eyes and fell backwards straightly -

"Hey! Xinghai!!"

The boy whose consciousness fell into darkness could not hear Edogawa Conan's call. With the hardworking young boy by his side, he cut off the connection with the body with confidence. He shook his mind, and then his vision suddenly turned from blurry to clear, and a familiar electronic synthesized sound rang in his ears.

Nearly halfway through the meeting, Xinghaiyin listened to Rum questioning the authenticity of the "evidence" and trying to win over other senior executives attending the meeting. After all, if they really wanted to punish Rum in the end, all the senior executives would need to vote.

However, this procedure is only a superficial effort. If the gentleman is unwilling to punish his second-in-command, even if the votes of the senior executives present are overwhelming, no substantial punishment can be imposed on him.

It is precisely because of this that Rum is fearless.

But among the evidence presented by Xing Haiyin, there was one that the gentleman could never tolerate under any circumstances.

--betray.

Other behaviors can be entirely attributed to Rum's determination to gain power and his willingness to do whatever it takes. That gentleman does not care about his subordinates fighting for power. On the contrary, he is happy to see this situation because there needs to be balance and a certain degree of order within the organization.

But betrayal is different.

Once a person betrays once, it is inevitable that he will betray again, and even more times, and even more times, and so on. This kind of situation in an organization will only shake the foundation and development of the organization, and will not bring them even the slightest benefit.

So severe punishment must be imposed.

What's more, Rum's hand was reaching for the dream drug that the boss was most concerned about.

Xinghaiyin glanced at Gin.

During the meeting, all their communication tools were unusable. Only the BOSS's network was available. However, all signals or messages received through this network would be reviewed by the BOSS. Due to some tacit rules, basically no one would try to contact the outside world during the meeting.

But at this moment, Gin's mobile phone received a message.

The silver-gray-haired man's eyes darkened. He quickly guessed who the message came from, but he did not say it out loud.

Because he also guessed the content of the message.
