Other guests, seeing there was no drama to watch, withdrew their gazes.
Horie Yumi looked at Lin Yi and said, "You left that two million just to smash it against someone's head?"
"Yes," Lin Yi nodded.
Horie Yumi muttered, "You might as well smash my head."
Lin Yi raised half a glass of wine with a half-smile and said, "When I smash your head... it will be with this kind of glass..."
Horie Yumi was stunned for a moment, then she understood why he was doing this in front of her.
He was telling her not to do anything unnecessary or say anything unnecessary, otherwise she would have to bear the consequences.
After giving Horie Yumi both a carrot and a stick, Lin Yi didn't pay much more attention to her.
If she could handle this matter well and get Mouri Kogoro and Eri Kisaki to officially divorce, that would be the best outcome.
If she couldn't, he would use cruder methods, using those photos to achieve his goal.
Lin Yi was very much looking forward to seeing whether Horie Yumi could successfully tame Mouri Kogoro.
Therefore, during this period, he would run over to the Mouri Detective Agency whenever he had the chance.
To observe the changes in Mouri Kogoro's mood.
And Mouri Kogoro's changes were indeed very obvious.
He would often sit in his office chair in a daze, or he would be drinking and smoking frantically.
Ran couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly asked, "Dad? What's wrong with you? You haven't seemed right these past few days?"
"I've run into some troublesome matters..."
Mouri Kogoro waved his hand, signaling Ran to leave, "I can handle it myself."
"But..."
Just as Ran wanted to say something more, Mouri Kogoro impatiently slapped the table and shouted, "I said you don't need to worry about it!! Get away! Don't bother me!"
Ran was startled, then her eyes turned red, and she bit her lip and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't! Why are you being so fierce!"
Then she ran out of the Agency and went up to the third floor.
Watching his daughter being scared to tears, Mouri Kogoro felt very annoyed, but he couldn't help it. He had been feeling restless and agitated by Horie Yumi these past few days and simply couldn't control his emotions.
Lin Yi certainly went up to the third floor first to properly soothe Ran's emotions.
"Dad... he's so excessive." Ran wiped her tears and said while sobbing, "I care about him so much, yet he actually got angry at me."
"Uncle is indeed being excessive."
Lin Yi patted Ran's back, standing on her side and constantly saying words of comfort.
After Ran's emotions stabilized, he said, "However, to make Uncle this agitated, to the point where he would even lose his temper at you... I suspect he has run into some thorny issue."
By this time, Ran had let out most of her frustration. Following Lin Yi's line of thought, she realized it really was like that. She said, "Dad... he has never been like this before..."
"Hmm... how about this."
Lin Yi said, "I'll go ask and chat with Uncle... As for you, just rest here."
Ran also wanted to go down, "Can't I go with you?"
Lin Yi said, "He doesn't want you to know... that's why he got angry at you."
