Guns and Coffee in the World of Science

Chapter 208 A bloody plot

Singapore, Changi Airport, the afternoon sun shines through the airport's transparent skylights into the spacious hall, and the air is filled with tropical humidity and fresh sea breeze.

The Continental Hotel's plane slowly landed, and the air conditioning in the cabin formed a sharp contrast with the scorching temperature outside.

The plane stopped steadily. Chen Shuo pushed open the cabin door and walked out first. He was wearing a loose white T-shirt and shorts, with a black shoulder bag hanging on his shoulder. The shining sun was behind him.

The scorching sun outside was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes. He was wearing a pair of black sunglasses, and he looked relaxed yet cool.

"As expected of Singapore, the weather is so hot..."

As Chen Shuo spoke, he looked down at Xiao Ai in his arms. Although the heat wave hit him, the novelty of arriving in a foreign country made him feel good.

Xiao Ai was wearing a simple dress. She hugged Chen Shuo's neck and looked around with her big eyes, appearing a little curious.

"Yeah, it's awfully hot in here."

Xiao Ai frowned and rubbed her little arms which were a little hot from the sun.

At the same time, a burst of laughter came from behind. Xiaolan and Sonoko got off the plane. They were wearing light clothes and had smiles on their faces. They had completely adapted to the holiday atmosphere.

The two of them walked in front, holding the serious-looking Wakasa Rumi. They looked like a pair of lively sisters, dragging behind them a not-so-happy "sister".

"Sister Wakasa, now that we know Conan is fine, let's have some fun for a couple of days. This is a rare opportunity."

Xiaolan comforted softly, her tone gentle and relaxed. There was no trace of her reluctance in the morning, only anticipation for the trip remained.

"That's right! It's not easy to come to Singapore, how can you just think about revenge?"

Sonoko smiled brightly, turned around and patted Wakasa Rumi on the shoulder, then continued, "Although Kidd is a bit naughty, he won't hurt Conan, so you can rest assured! Let's have some fun first, and then we can settle the score after we meet him."

When Wakasa Rumi heard this, her face remained stern, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes. Although her tone remained cold, her expression showed some signs of relaxation.

"Tsk... this bastard thief..." She muttered softly, obviously dissatisfied with Kaito Kid's prank, but at this moment she was no longer as nervous as before, at least she was no longer overly worried about Conan's safety.

"Hey, Wakasa-san, I promised you that after we meet, I'll help you shoot Kidd twice. Cheer up!"

Mariko winked at Wakasa Rumi with a playful smile on her face.

Wakasa Rumi glared at her, snorted coldly and said nothing, but the corners of her mouth began to gradually rise, and she seemed to be trying to enjoy her vacation.

"It's easy for you to say, but as a bodyguard, I'm really embarrassed."

Wakasa Rumi curled her lips slightly and unconsciously pulled the strap of her backpack as she walked. Although she complained, she was obviously not as angry as she was at the beginning.

The group walked out of the airport, the bright sunshine shone on them, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of sea breeze.

The heat of Singapore is overwhelming, the air is thick and humid, but the city's unique charm is irresistible.

Although they had some complicated emotions in their hearts, at this moment, they finally found the joy of traveling in this foreign land.

"Let's go taste some authentic food today and take a walk along the beach."

Xiaolan suggested excitedly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity about new things.

"It's so hot, it's a good time to stay at the beach."

Yuanzi nodded immediately: "Yes, I heard that the coconut water here is very famous, I must drink enough!"

Although Wakasa Rumi was still reluctant, she relaxed a little when she saw everyone's excitement: "Then let's go eat something first."

Chen Shuo and his team’s trip to Singapore has officially begun!

---

At the food stalls by the sea, the sea breeze blows gently, and the air is filled with the rich aroma of seafood.

The table was filled with a variety of local specialties: steaming Hainanese chicken rice, delicious curry crab, and golden coconut rice.

Although the food was tempting and the atmosphere was relaxed, Xiaolan's face looked a little gloomy at the moment.

She was originally sitting at the table full of excitement, thinking about the Singapore Karate Competition she was about to participate in. That was a chance to compete with the world's top karate masters!

Especially the prize for the champion of this competition - a huge sapphire called "The Fist of Blue Sapphire" is enough to make anyone jealous.

Just by looking at the picture of sapphire, Xiaolan was already excited and decided to participate.

However, when she picked up the registration form and saw a line of small print saying "Registration requires a sponsor", her mood suddenly felt like a balloon was popped.

"Huh!? Do I need sponsorship to participate in a karate competition?"

She was a little confused, with a hint of frustration in her voice. It was obvious that this unexpected request caught her off guard.

She unconsciously picked up the nasi lemak on the table, her chopsticks suspended in the air, her eyes unfocused, as if she was a little breathless due to the sudden disruption of her plans.

I was full of fighting spirit just now, dreaming of winning that sapphire, but now it's all gone.

Chen Shuo and Yuanzi looked at Xiaolan's dejection, exchanged a strange look, and then said in unison: "Isn't it just sponsorship?"

The words of the two people were like a gentle breeze, but this simple sentence made Xiaolan stunned.

Her eyes widened with a hint of sudden realization: "Hey!"

Suddenly, her head became clear, as if a heavy stone had rolled off her heart.

How could I have forgotten that my boyfriend is the owner of Jingxin Coffee and is very wealthy. How could it be difficult for him to sponsor a competition?

Even the Suzuki Group behind my best friend is one of the top giants.

Maybe with just one phone call, the sponsor can get it done.

She couldn't help laughing. She felt so silly that she was worrying about such a small thing.

Xiaolan slapped her head and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She even looked at Chen Shuo and Yuanzi a little embarrassedly: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? I'm so stupid."

A smile immediately appeared on Xiaolan's face, and her original frustration disappeared in an instant.

She stretched, put down her chopsticks, and said with a happy smile, "That's great! I thought this karate competition was over!"

At this time, Sonoko looked at Xiaolan with a smile, with a hint of teasing in her eyes: "Well, it can be seen that the Fist of Blue Sapphire is the biggest motivation in your heart."

"Of course!"

Xiaolan's eyes sparkled: "That sapphire is simply a perfect collector's item. No matter what kind of competition it is, as long as there is this reward, I will do my best to win!"

Chen Shuo patted her shoulder and said, "Then go for it. Let's not talk about sponsorship for now. Karate is your strong point, so winning the championship is no problem."

The sea breeze still blows gently, carrying the scent of salt and the ocean. The food on the table exudes an enticing aroma, and the surroundings are filled with a leisurely atmosphere.

Xiaolan's smile grew brighter in the sunshine, as if even this tropical beach was cheering for her excitement and anticipation.

"Eat something first, and then we need to prepare well."

Xiao Ai ate her coconut rice and smiled mischievously: "The competition isn't difficult for you, but if there weren't sapphire rewards, you probably wouldn't fight so hard."

"Humph!"

Xiaolan glanced at Sonoko coquettishly: "Who said I won't fight without the sapphire? What I want is the championship, the strength!"

There was a gleam of confidence in her eyes, and she made no secret of her desire for victory.

Wakasa Rumi looked at the sapphire in the brochure, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips, she turned to look at Chen Shuo, and said softly: "Boss, I want to participate too! Can you sponsor me?"

After hearing her words, before Chen Shuo could say anything, Xiaolan choked on a mouthful of coconut milk and started coughing. She covered her throat with both hands, her eyes widened, and she was obviously a little scared.

"Cough cough!"

Xiaolan coughed violently a few times, her face full of panic: "Sister Wakasa, you want to participate too?"

There was obvious panic in her voice.

She knew Wakasa Rumi's skills very well, she was simply invincible!

Recently, she has been constantly trained by Wakasa Rumi as a "practice object", but she has never been able to beat her.

If Wakasa Rumi really participated in this competition, how could I win the prize?

Seeing Xiaolan's frightened and flustered look, Wakasa Rumi raised her eyebrows slightly and showed a playful smile: "Oh~~ Xiaolan, are you scared?"

Xiaolan's face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head, not daring to look at her.

Although she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, she refused to give in easily.

She raised her head, trying to act nonchalant, with a slight curl of her lips: "No! Who said I was scared?"

Seeing Xiaolan's forced calmness, everyone smiled dotingly. It was rare for Xiaolan to be so interested in something.

However, this happy mood did not last long...

"Wow~~~ There are so many beauties. Do you want me to show you around this country?"

Suddenly, a frivolous voice came from the side.

As these words rang out, everyone's eyes almost instantly focused on the man who appeared in front of them.

He was wearing a very sophisticated casual suit, and he exuded an air of casual frivolity. He had a big smile on his face, but his eyes seemed unusually wanton as he glanced at every woman at the table.

His gaze, especially when it rested on Wakasa Rumi, Ran, and Sonoko, was filled with obvious lust and undisguised desire.

Following him were a group of bodyguards in black, all with expressionless faces, who were obviously responsible for protecting the safety of this unknown man.

The man walked over to the table, seemingly unconcerned with the sudden interruption, and continued to stare at the three women with a playful grin.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze for a second.

For everyone in the group, their first reaction was not anger, but... What kind of bloody plot in a novel is this?
