Chapter 52
The Actress' Invitation

“Cheng, why haven't you contacted me for the past three days? Are you very busy?”

Ran Mouri asked Akiya Cheng curiously.

It had been so long since they last contacted each other, probably since they were in middle school.

“Because Aunt Eri was sick, I stayed home to take care of her.”

Akiya Cheng looked at the long-lost sunshine outdoors.

“Eh? Was it serious? Why didn't Mom tell me?

When I went to the office to ask Ms. Kuriyama, she said Mom had an important assignment.”

Ran Mouri was a little angry.

She thought Eri was away on an assignment as usual and didn't dare to disturb her.

Now she found out she was actually sick.

Why did she keep it from her?

Akiya Cheng calmed Ran Mouri, “It’s not serious.

After giving Aunt Eri an injection, her condition stabilized.”

After all, Eri wasn't actually sick.

How could he tell Ran Mouri?

As for Midori Kuriyama, it was because Akiya Cheng had called in sick for Eri at that time.

The little assistant who was privy to their secret.

Her little brain didn't need to think much to know what they were up to again.

And when Ran Mouri came to the office looking for Eri.

She had to come up with an excuse for her teacher.

Midori Kuriyama felt that her job as a worker was too tiring.

Not to mention being an office assistant.

She had to act like she didn't know about Eri and Akiya Cheng’s affair from time to time.

Help hide it from Ran Mouri.

That's two jobs, raise my pay!

Akiya Cheng was a little helpless.

Before, Eri had sensed something from his way of calling Sayuri Matsumoto.

Especially when Sayuri Matsumoto, out of gratitude for Akiya Cheng's catching the real culprit, Toshihiko Takasugi.

She subconsciously acted intimately with Akiya Cheng.

Eri was naturally more convinced of her guess.

Jealous and angry Eri.

It wasn't easy to coax her.

However, Akiya Cheng wasn't the same as he was a few years ago when he was in middle school, when he had just awakened his demonic bloodline.

His physique and constitution were no different from ordinary people at that time.

Let Eri really understand that human physique does have its limits.

Learn it in her short three-day vacation.

The more she alone confronts Akiya Cheng.

The more she'll face the consequences of being ruined.

To be a team player.

She doesn't monopolize you, Cheng!

Although Eri was still sulking a little after waking up.

But she did tacitly agree.

What bothered Eri was.

It was clear that she could easily deal with him alone a few years ago.

Why only a few years later.

Akiya Cheng had grown to such a terrifying level.

This time, Akiya Cheng was taking Ran Mouri to the filming location of the crew where Yuuko Chizuru was currently located, at the Mifa Shrine.

This drama was Yuuko Chizuru's first film after she was poached by the Hatamoto Agency.

So she invited Akiya Cheng to watch it before it was near completion.

“Speaking of which, I've never seen the process of making a TV drama before!”

The girl was still very much looking forward to this unusual sight.

After Akiya Cheng invited her to go together, she agreed.

Of course, this was to prevent Ran Mouri from running to Eri today.

Eri would have to take half a day off again and stay home to rest.

The smell all over the house.

If Ran Mouri went, Eri wouldn't be able to explain.

“Dad and Conan seem to be going to the Yoiko Kon's crew to be a consulting detective too.”

Conan, the king of picking up cases.

After seven days of recovery in the hospital.

Because he had been healed by Akiya Cheng's Palm Immortal Technique for some of his injuries.

He had actually recovered after five days, but he stayed for observation for two days.

After solving many cases.

Kogoro Mouri is now famous.

The media refers to him and Conan as "the famous detective Kogoro Mouri and his genius apprentice."

Conan scoffed at this, he was the one who did all the hard work.

This time, the crew was a mystery drama about reasoning.

They specially invited Kogoro Mouri and Conan to be consultants.

It was also a gimmick for the TV drama promotion.

Although his reasoning ability was not very reliable, he was still a former policeman.

He's still good at overseeing some details for the crew.

And the crew was invested and built by the Hatamoto Agency.

The director was also recently poached by the agency.

The agency was originally lukewarm.

But after Akiya Cheng casually ordered it.

Besides Yuuko Chizuru, Gokuzou Hatamoto also poached many artists.

Most of them were female artists.

There were also some well-known directors and screenwriters in the industry, as well as program planners and hosts.

Knowing that Yoiko Kon was the hottest idol now.

Gokuzou Hatamoto directly paid her penalty for breaking her contract and poached her too.

I heard she was a member of the idol group, Earth Ladies, when she debuted?

He also poached the other three members.

After all, some people have a collection fetish.

Maybe his demonic master likes to play with combos too.

Everything Gokuzou Hatamoto did was to please Akiya Cheng.

Of course, he still regarded Yuuko Chizuru as the number one artist of the agency.

After all, it was Akiya Cheng's rare order.

Gokuzou Hatamoto also specially instructed the screenwriters and directors of the agency.

Female artists cannot have intimate scenes in the plot.

The screenwriters and directors of the crew knew that this agency was probably there to provide entertainment for some big shot.

But the remuneration was generous, they had no reason to refuse.

“Eh! Dad, Conan, so you guys are coming to this crew too?” Ran Mouri saw familiar figures.

“Ran? Didn't you say you were going out with Akiya?” Kogoro Mouri turned back, looking at the filming scene that was ending today.

“Cheng said he'd bring me to see a drama filmed by the Hatamoto Agency.”

Director Taketoshi Gondou was a little angry when he saw other people appear on the crew.

After seeing Akiya Cheng's face.

He quickly jumped up and ran over.

He respectfully said, “Mr. Akiya, why are you at the crew? You could have informed me beforehand, I'll have someone pick you up.

By the way, I've already booked a room at the inn today.

I'll go and tell the inn to arrange a larger room for you.”

After that, Taketoshi Gondou glanced at Yuuko Chizuru and Yoiko Kon on the shooting site.

He knew what Gokuzou Hatamoto had ordered.

Akiya Cheng, the financial advisor of the foundation, would obey any order.

Although he didn't know why Akiya Cheng was here today.

But he had a hunch, so he very considerately arranged for Akiya Cheng.
