Guns and Coffee in the World of Science

Chapter 176 The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked

Inside the venue, the four second-generation rich kids completely ignored the presence of the guests around them. The football flew around the banquet hall recklessly, knocking the decorations on the dining table and almost causing chaos several times.

However, the four of them didn't seem to care at all. Instead, they kicked more and more vigorously. Laughter and shouting filled the entire banquet hall, as if this was their private playground.

The guests around either avoided it helplessly or lowered their heads and whispered to each other, but no one dared to step forward to stop it.

As for the elders of these four children, they just stood by and watched. Not only did they not stop them at all, but they watched with a smile, as if they were proud of their children's "liveliness".

This scene makes people shake their heads and sigh. The saying "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked" seems to be tailor-made for them.

From these four arrogant children, we can vaguely glimpse the character of their elders. Obviously, they are not people worthy of respect.

At this time, the leading child aimed at the entrance of the venue, suddenly raised his foot, and kicked the football hard towards the door.

The football flew in an arc at an extremely fast speed, heading straight towards a group of people who had just entered the venue.

There were three people, one boy and two girls. They were about to enter the field when the football was about to hit one of the girls.

However, the man in the lead looked calm, as if he had already seen through everything.

He gently leaned sideways, accurately extended a hand, and firmly grasped the football in his palm. His movements were smooth and crisp. There was not a single unnecessary movement in the entire process.

The man was Chen Shuo. Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran beside him were both stunned, obviously a little surprised by the accident just now, but they quickly regained their composure.

Chen Shuo looked down at the football in his hand, frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed through his mind. Why would there be something like a football in such a formal occasion?

He raised his head and scanned the banquet hall, just in time to see four children running over.

The four second-generation players had dissatisfaction written all over their faces as they stood arrogantly in front of Chen Shuo. One of them shouted, "Hey! What are you doing? Give us back the ball!"

The other child wasn't to be outdone. He pointed at Chen Shuo's hand and said in an even more rude tone, "Did you hear me? Stop touching our things. Hurry up!"

Chen Shuo lowered his head slightly and glanced at them coldly, as if he was observing a group of noisy clowns.

Soon, he figured out what had happened from the arrogant attitude of the four children, and the expression on his face instantly turned cold.

He did not respond to the children's shouting, but just flipped the football casually a few times, then exerted a little force with his palm.

"Snap!" With a dull sound, the football was instantly crushed in his palm, and the broken balloon skin emitted a harsh friction sound.

The entire movement was clean and smooth, without a trace of hesitation. Chen Shuo's expression remained calm, as if the action just now was just a trivial matter.

"Let's go." He whispered, turned around, took Ran Mouri's hand, and walked side by side with Suzuki Sonoko into the venue. He didn't even look at the four children the whole time, completely treating them as air.

The four second-generations stood there in a daze, their faces still etched with arrogance. A moment later, they reacted, their faces flushed red, and they stamped their feet in anger.

"What does he mean!?"

"How dare you ignore us! And crush our football!"

"You're simply looking down on us!"

The four children were enraged by Chen Shuo's contempt, and being young and hot-tempered, they felt greatly insulted.

In a fit of rage, he rushed forward, standing in front of Chen Shuo and the other two, trying to block their way.

The four of them were about to open their mouths, but were instantly silenced by the cold gazes of Chen Shuo and his group.

Chen Shuo stood at the front, his eyes as cold as a knife, sweeping over the children from head to toe. His aura was calm and oppressive, as if the entire air was stagnant because of him.

Suzuki Sonoko stood aside, but with a hint of disdain on her face, she seemed unconcerned.

Although Mao Lilan did not show any extra emotions, she was standing next to Chen Shuo, quiet and calm, and was obviously not shaken by the actions of these children.

The courage that the four children had mustered was instantly shattered by Chen Shuo's gaze. They opened their mouths, but found that they could not utter a word, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

"asshole!"

Just when the atmosphere became tense, an angry shout came from not far away.

The four children turned around suddenly and saw Deputy Superintendent Moroboshi Toshio walking towards them quickly with several middle-aged men.

His eyes were sharp and his face was gloomy, and the people following him also looked nervous. The aura of each of them was enough to overwhelm ordinary people.

Toshio Moroboshi is the grandfather of the leading boy, Hideki Moroboshi, and the others are the elders of the other three children. Without exception, they are all well-known figures in Japan's political and business circles.

Seeing their elders coming, the four children immediately regained their confidence and their arrogant looks reappeared.

Zhu Xingxiushu raised his head proudly, pointed at Chen Shuo and shouted: "You'd better give me..."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. Turning around, he saw Moroboshi Toshio's face blazing with anger, and he punched him hard on the head.

"You little bastard! Be polite!"

Moroboshi Toshio growled, mercilessly pressed down Moroboshi Hideki's head, forced him down, and bowed deeply to Chen Shuo.

Several middle-aged men nearby also began to teach their children a lesson without any politeness. Three crisp slaps were heard in succession. The remaining three children covered their faces, lowered their heads reluctantly, and were forced to apologize to Chen Shuo and the other two.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Chen." Moroboshi Toshio's voice was low and respectful, but his expression was a little nervous.

"I'm sorry for not teaching my children well and causing trouble for you all!" The others immediately joined in the apology, with unconcealable nervousness and uneasiness on their faces.

They knew very well that Chen Shuo in front of them was not just an ordinary guest on the surface. As the top executive of the Continental Hotel, the forces and energy behind him were enough to make these top Japanese families feel wary.

What's more, he himself is a legendary killing god, and he is not someone they can afford to provoke.

Chen Shuo watched all this coldly, his face expressionless, but his aura remained as steady as a mountain. He was not moved at all by the apology and bowing in front of him.

Ran Mao Li stood aside and watched the children being treated like this. A trace of pity flashed in her eyes, but she also understood that it was not appropriate for her to interrupt in this situation, so she could only choose to remain silent.

Suzuki Sonoko always maintained a faint smile, as if she had no interest in all this.

Chen Shuo finally nodded slightly, his voice calm but unquestionable: "No problem."

After saying that, he turned around and led Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko away, continued walking into the venue, and met up with Maori Kogoro and his group.

After they disappeared from view, Moroboshi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their faces slightly relaxed in tension and stiffness, though they still didn't dare to act carelessly. They exchanged glances, each realizing that they were fortunate to have ended so peacefully today.

"Amazing! That aura gives me the creeps~~~"

Maori Kogoro was holding a wine glass, his face slightly flushed, and he was obviously a little drunk. He looked at Chen Shuo and the other two who had just walked over with a smile, and his tone was full of ridicule.

Chen Shuo shook his head helplessly, picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray beside him, and gently clinked glasses with Maori Kogoro, making a crisp sound when the glasses touched each other.

He took a sip of red wine and said calmly, "Come on, they're just a few bad-tempered teenagers. If we really want to make a fuss, Conan alone is enough to give them a hard time."

"Hahaha! Conan is not a small character now!" Suzuki Sonoko laughed heartily after hearing this, and reached out to pat Conan's big head, her tone full of ridicule.

"Idiot! Don't touch me!" Conan muttered dissatisfiedly, broke free from Sonoko's hand, shook his head, and looked helpless.

Chen Shuo looked around, his brows furrowed slightly as he scanned the surroundings. He then asked, "Where are Yusaku and the Doctor? Why don't I see them?"

Conan looked around after hearing this, then shrugged and replied, "I don't know, but it should be here soon. Dad and the doctor always check on the time, don't worry."

Maori Kogoro laughed again and raised his glass and shook it: "Alright, alright, today is a good day, don't worry about those latecomers, let's have a drink first!"

"Dad!" Looking at the embarrassed Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri directly suppressed her father with force, leaving Kogoro Mouri unable to speak out.

The three little ones also noticed the arrival of Chen Shuo and the other two, and hurried over to say hello.

However, their eyes always unconsciously drifted to the children wearing badges in the center of the venue, their eyes full of envy and desire.

Mao Lilan noticed their gazes, lowered her head and smiled gently, took out a badge from her handbag and handed it to Ayumi: "Want to play? Here, I'll give this to you. I'm not interested in this game."

"Ah! It's a badge! Thank you, Sister Xiaolan!" Ayumi took the badge with surprise, but then she was stunned for a moment, and looked down at Mitsuhiko and Genta beside her, seeming a little reluctant.

After hesitating for a moment, he handed the badge back to Mao Lilan: "Forget it, no one else has it, and I can't go alone."

Chen Shuo looked at Ayumi's reaction, smiled with some appreciation, and reached out to touch her little head: "Just take it." Then he took out another badge from his pocket and handed it to Guangyan: "This, for you."

Suzuki Sonoko watched with amusement from the side. She casually took out a badge from her handbag and threw it directly to Genta, saying jokingly, "Well done, Ayumi-chan. This is a reward for you."

The three little ones widened their eyes and stared blankly at the badges in their hands, unable to react for a moment.

After a few seconds, they bowed suddenly and said in unison: "Thank you Uncle Chen Shuo! Thank you Sister Xiaolan! Thank you Sister Yuanzi!" Their voices were full of excitement and joy.

The three people who received the badges were instantly overwhelmed with happiness. They cheered, holding the badges, and ran around the venue, showing off and playing everywhere.

Looking at their backs, Mao Lilan smiled helplessly: "What a group of good kids."

Chen Shuo nodded gently, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, but a tone of resentment: "Why... I'm your uncle..."

"You're already thirty years old, what else could you be but an uncle? You perverted uncle!"

When I looked down, I saw Haibara Ai looking at me with an unhappy expression.

He leaned over and picked her up, then asked, "Do you have a badge?"

Huiyuan Ai raised her head and slowly took out a badge from her pocket. She played with it casually and said in a flat tone: "Kudo gave it to me, but I have no interest in it."

"That won't do!" Suzuki Sonoko was unhappy watching from the side and snatched Haibara Ai from Chen Shuo's hands without any hesitation.

He ruffled her smooth short hair with a smile, and said with a hint of teasing: "Just play well for me! I want to see how good you are at the game!"

"Asshole! You stupid woman! Let me go!" Huiyuan Ai struggled angrily, her face flushed with shame and anger, and her voice was filled with dissatisfaction. She had never been able to do anything to Sonoko, so she could only twist and turn in her arms, trying to get out.

However, as a typical otaku, Haibara Ai is no match for Sonoko in terms of strength. No matter how she struggles, she cannot escape and can only be firmly suppressed by Sonoko.

Sonoko laughed so hard that she fell backwards, while continuing to rub her head, her tone full of mischief: "Don't move, Ai-chan, just be obedient this time and relax!"

Chen Shuo watched this scene from the side, shook his head slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but a smile appeared in his eyes.

He did not intervene, but just silently appreciated Haibara Ai's helplessness and Sonoko's pride, enjoying this relaxing time.
