Model worker and his little darling

Just then, an old man walked in from outside.

Gin pulled Hirakiyo to his feet and nodded slightly, "BOSS!"

Pingqing looked over curiously, but it was completely different from what he had imagined.

Having only heard his voice, he had always imagined the BOSS to be an old, frail man, clinging to life with medication. While not necessarily bedridden, he was certainly in a wheelchair.

To my surprise, the old man in front of me looked only in his fifties or sixties, and he was full of energy.

Judging from the old man's expression, Shirley's research seems to be useless. Oh well, it's none of his business; he doesn't need to know why.

Karasuma Renya sat down on the sofa, looked at the curious Hirai, and beckoned, "Come sit here with me."

Pingqing walked straight over and plopped down next to Karasuma Renya; he was the most obedient.

Karasuma Renya asked, "Is it different from what you imagined?"

Ping Qing nodded. The voice was gentle, yet carried a hint of seduction. He usually heard aged voices in meetings. Tsk, the old man was the best actor in the organization.

You'll find out eventually.

Pingqing quickly shook his head. He didn't want to know. The more he knew, the more miserable his death would be. It was best to maintain the status quo.

"No need, my shoulders are too small to bear such a heavy responsibility."

Karasuma Renya smiled and looked at Hirai. He could tell that Hirai was curious, but also genuinely didn't want to know.

"I already know about your relationship with Gin. I just wanted to see you two today. Seeing that you're getting along well puts my mind at ease."

Pingqing blinked; he couldn't quite believe that.

He glanced at Hirai and Gin, both of whom looked a little awkward. "Kiyoshi Hirai, I know everything you did at the bar."

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

The old man actually saw that embarrassing part of his past.

"Didn't I delete the surveillance video?"

Seeing Taira's shocked expression, Karasuma Renya explained, "When I found out you and Margot went to the bar, I went to check on you two, worried that something might happen. Who knew you'd end up fighting, and then you even got involved with Gin..."

Karasuma Renya didn't finish his sentence. He glanced at the two of them, while Gin lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

Ping Qing covered his face. Heavens above! He really had to live on a different planet. The old man had actually watched the live broadcast and was watching how he flirted with Gin.

He desperately wanted to travel back in time and strangle himself.

Listening to what Ping Qing and the BOSS were saying, Rum realized that the BOSS knew so much inside information. It seemed he would have to come over more often to exchange ideas.

Seeing Gin's ears turn red and Taira's face turn red, Karasuma Renya burst out laughing.

After playing with the young couple for a while, Karasuma Renya called Taira no Kiyoshi to the study alone.

Pingqing knew the main event was about to begin. After entering the house, he looked around the study. It was simple and unpretentious. The books on the bookshelves were different from the dusty books in his house. It was clear that someone read these books often.

Karasuma Renya gestured for Taira no Kiyoshi to sit opposite him, and Taira no Kiyoshi immediately lay down on the table after sitting down.

"Yu Shika, you are one of the successors I've groomed for the organization, and now you have a different kind of relationship with Gin. What will you do if Gin betrays the organization one day?"

Upon hearing this, Taira no Kiyoshi rolled his eyes. "I say, old man, do you really have that little confidence in yourself? Gin was someone you trained. Over the years, he has worked diligently for the organization and done so much. How could he possibly betray us? I think if he continues to overwork himself like this, he'll die suddenly, or even die young."

Karasuma Renya's lips twitched; what he said wasn't wrong.

“I saw that you did a good job helping Gin with things earlier. Since you are worried about his health, how about I let Gin share some of his work with you, and you can manage it together?”

Ping Qing coughed lightly. "Gin is only 29, not even 30 yet. It's the time for him to work hard. As for his health, I think he's in great shape. I think you could train a few more people, Grandpa. After all, the organization is so big and there are so many things to do. A few people simply can't manage it all."

"You've been accompanying Gin on missions all this time, isn't it because you feel sorry for him?" Karasuma Renya teased.

"Grandpa, you know it, so you know it. Why do you have to say it out loud?"

"What if he betrays you?"

Ping Qing smiled confidently, "I believe he won't."

"Actually, I think that as one of the successors of the organization, one should not have emotions."

"Then what do you suggest, old man? I've kissed and slept with Gin, and now we're inseparable."

Ping Qing discovered that to talk to this kind of old fox, you first have to be shameless and act like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water, so that he can't do anything to you. As long as you show the slightest fear or back down, he can control you.

Looking at Hirai's shameless expression, Karasuma Renya began to suspect that his blushing outside earlier was all an act of bottling it up.

Gin and Rum outside remained silent. Gin was thinking about Taira no Kiyoshi and wondered what the Boss would say. Although he had spoken with certainty last night, he didn't actually know the Boss's true thoughts.

“I now believe that love can change a person, Gin. We’ve all watched Heikichi grow up. He’s always liked following you around since he was little. But I never expected you to fall for him. You’re completely in love now. This restless look shouldn’t be on your mind.”

Gin was already worried about Hirakiyo, and now, upon hearing Rum's words, he instinctively felt that it was the BOSS's intention, and he instantly felt a little flustered.

Inside the room, Taira looked at Karasuma Renya with a serious expression. "I can give up my status as heir and become an ordinary codename member. You still have Margot and Sudden. But I can't give up Gin."

Yes, she has a strong personality! He always has more patience for children who have strong personalities and abilities.

"Hahaha... Actually, I knew the answer before you even opened your mouth. You chose to come to Japan because of Gin, right?"

Seeing Karasuma Renya all smiles, completely unlike his previous domineering demeanor, Hirai felt like he'd been tricked and pouted, "It wasn't for him."

It wasn't entirely for him; it was also for the sake of the plot. But now the plot has been completely ruined by him, and we don't even know what plot points Conan has actually gone through.

Suddenly the butler knocked on the door. "Master, lunch is ready."

"Let's go, I have lots of delicious food here."

As soon as he stepped outside, Pingqing sensed that Gin was about to lose his temper. If it weren't for the fact that this was the old man's territory, he probably would have killed Rum. He didn't know what Rum had said to provoke him like this.

He quickly went over to calm Gin, who was on the verge of exploding with rage. Gin was relieved to see that both Taira and the Boss were smiling as they walked out.

After a quiet lunch, Karasuma Renya had a gift box placed in front of Taira no Kiyoshi. "This is a gift for you and Gin. We won't keep you here today."

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

He was certain; the old man had been deliberately playing a trick on him. He was the monkey in the monkey show he was performing today.

After leaving with Gin, Taira Kiyoshi immediately opened the gift box, which contained a bunch of photos, and—

Two rings!!!
