My wife is the stand-in.

Then they'll break your arms and legs, dislocating your joints.

Zheng Lun then collapsed in the muddy water, convulsing, his face redder than a pig's liver, with foul-smelling digestive matter flowing from both his mouth and throat, feeling worse than death.

But unfortunately, there was a layer of clothing over his stomach, and Amanosaki had thoughtfully covered him with a large coat, so despite the excruciating pain, his stomach appeared perfectly fine on the surface.

It's at most a little red.

Dislocations can be corrected with bone setting; chest tightness and pain can be relieved in a few hours with a massage from someone who knows martial arts.

This is what a ninja is all about; they don't skimp on 'legal' methods of extracting confessions.

Amanosaki thought that interrogation techniques were a basic skill for ninjas. Sasuke and Naruto, who could easily split mountains and fill seas, were helpless against criminals and had to use genjutsu and deception to extract confessions. They really hadn't mastered the skills.

No wonder one is a rogue ninja and the other is a perennial genin.

Pshaw! Our Chunin Hinata is much more reliable!

Having breathed a sigh of relief, Amanosaki waved to the soldiers outside the military camp who were driving armored vehicles and tanks, and carrying guns and rocket launchers:

"Alright, take him away."

Looking at Zheng Lun's soldiers dragging him like dead dogs, Amanosaki paused and added, "Please take us to a camp with a bathhouse and food."

The soldiers dared not disobey and quickly relayed the message to the senior officers. After receiving a positive reply, Amanosaki draped a military raincoat over Lin Shuyu, took the hands of his two girlfriends, and loudly called for his friends to follow.

Zeng Aman looked at Amanosaki with a complicated expression, half admiration and half fear.

Two people... no, in fact, one person took down five hundred exoskeleton armors, a major national investment, without sustaining a single injury. This man has already reached the ceiling of the branch level; he only needs one more opportunity to step into the main branch.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but recall what he had said when Amanosaki had dealt with the soldiers, then jumped out of the military camp with Lin Shuyu in his arms, and happened to meet him, entrusting him to take her away.

"Great hero, we can't leave now."

"The capital has issued instructions to all the branch headquarters behind the expedition teams, requiring us to stay here and wait for the team coming from the capital to conduct tests."

"They suspect... that you have a 'degenerate' nature."

"I'm so sorry!"

-------------------------------------

"To call something decadent is such a cold-hearted way of putting it!"

Hinata Hyuga sat on the coffee table, wearing only a towel after coming out of the bathroom. Her round breasts were rosy and shiny after being washed with hot water.

Under the truth that 'breasts have an attraction,' Amanosaki's eyes would be drawn to them from time to time.

Not to mention Hinata's perfectly toned calves, her glistening, full bare feet, and her flowing long hair, which are simply mesmerizing.

Lin Shuyu was taking a shower in the bathroom at that moment, and the room was very quiet except for the sound of running water.

Unable to resist Hinata's temptation, he simply lay down on the cot, closed his eyes, and pressed his face with his hand, not giving himself a chance.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to guarantee that he wouldn't do something against the rules.

If Lin Shuyu catches her red-handed, it will likely be a heavy psychological blow to the girl who has just been released from 'imprisonment'.

"Hey, Nozaki, have you thought about how you're going to face the investigation team?"

The room's air conditioning was on full blast, so even without clothes, it wasn't cold. Hinata stretched comfortably and hummed softly.

Upon hearing this voice, Amanosaki felt a swelling in his body. He turned his back to Hinata and arched his back.

Hinata smiled mischievously, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons:

"Have you thought about how to face her? And the Lin family of Yushan. Now that things have blown up, I think the entire Lin family knows that the eldest daughter of the main family is going to share a man with a superpowered person."

"You will face a lot of difficulties, and she will also face criticism."

Amanosaki remained silent.

"I said so."

Hinata walked barefoot on the cold cement floor, the edges of her soles turning a bright red, like apples, due to the low temperature.

She squatted in front of the cot, reaching her hands inside the collar and shirt buttons to touch Amanosaki's body.

"Hey~ your body is burning hot, but you're so energetic."

Hinata rested her chin on Amanosaki's shoulder, a slight blush on her gentle face. "I wonder if it's energetic down there too."

A large, burning hand grabbed Hinata's outstretched hand. "What exactly do you want to say?"

Hinata suddenly took Amanosaki's earlobe into her mouth, teasing it with her tongue. Her hand, which was on Amanosaki's back, went around his waist on the side of the bed and slid down like a snake.

"You're stirring things up," she said innocently.

Amanosaki opened his eyes, glaring at Hinata, his eyes still filled with grievance: "I'm already so angry, and you're still like this. Where am I supposed to cool down?"

Hinata glanced to the side, and Amanosaki followed her gaze, seeing two piles of clothes in the laundry basket.

These were Hinata and Lin Shuyu's personal clothes that they had changed out of, and there was even half a pair of stockings hanging next to the laundry basket.

"Hey!" Amanosaki turned back and sighed heavily. "I already have girlfriends, and two more!"

He held up his finger and gestured, "Who uses someone else's clothes to solve their problem? Besides, I've been a virgin for decades and I've never done anything like that!"

"So you know you have two girlfriends? I thought you only had one!"

Hinata pouted, looking disdainful. "All you do is pester me for it. There's such a beautiful girl taking a bath in there, and you just listen without having any thoughts in your mind?"

"That's not the same at all!" Amanosaki glared. "They have to agree first."

"How are they different? I'm your girlfriend, and she isn't?"

Hinata poked Amanosaki's forehead, pressing it little by little until his brow ached: "You! You said you were going to teach Lee, what a stubborn person. What kind of logic is it for a girl to take the initiative?"

Amanosaki leaned forward and bit Hinata's nose, "Didn't you take me for granted back then?"

"That...that's what Saria ate, what does it have to do with Hinata Hyuga..." Hinata's cheeks flushed red, her eyes darted around, and her voice lost its confidence.

"In short!"

Hinata coughed a few times to steer the conversation back on track, "Your mission today is to win over the eldest daughter of the Lin family!"

"I made a lot of sacrifices for this, helping you cheer up and even giving up my spot. You're happy now, but I'm still single."

Amanosaki was bewildered: "Wait, how did I feel good? And why did it have to be Shuyu who was pushed down?"

"Are you stupid!" Hinata wrinkled her delicate nose, looking rather exasperated. "Some people in the Lin family want to match you two up, but there are definitely others who don't want you two to be together. Didn't you see how unhappy Shuyu looked after she came out? You need to take the initiative and make it a fait accompli. That way, those who support you will be happy, and those who oppose you won't be able to cause any more trouble, right?"

"Do we really have to do it this way?" Amanosaki hesitated, feeling that this was not a good idea.

"Why don't you stay here? I feel a little awkward being alone."

"Dream on, still dreaming of two phoenixes." Hinata Hyuga scoffed, "Let go."

"Didn't you say to light the fire?"

"I ordered it."

"Where's the fire?"

"Lower your head."

Amanosaki looked down and saw Hinata's hand, which had slipped down smoothly while the two were talking.

“I’ve set the fire. If you don’t get this sorted out today, you can solve your own problems from now on. You’ve got over twenty years of experience anyway.”

"Is it really necessary to be so ruthless?"

“Our business needs Lin Shuyu. The problem now is not that you two can’t accept each other’s feelings, but that outsiders will pressure you. Do you want to see Zheng Lun’s family and the Lin family, who oppose your relationship, join forces?”

"By then, you probably won't have the chance."

Amanosaki fell silent.

"That's all for now, I'm leaving." Hinata clapped her hands, dried her hair with a hairdryer, then untied her bath towel and changed her clothes in front of Amanosaki, making his nostrils tingle. She then giggled and went to rest in the next room.

"Damn it."

When Nozaki realized Hinata was really gone that day, he slammed his fist on the cot, exclaiming, "What kind of mess is this?"

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped at that moment.

Amanosaki's heart jumped instantly.

Chapter 210: Please Have Pity

Lin Shuyu was very nervous.

Unlike Hinata Hyuga, she didn't just wrap herself in a towel. After all, Hinata and Amanosaki's relationship had already progressed to a point of no return, while she... had kissed Amanosaki no more than ten times, a number even less than the highest number of kisses Amanosaki and Hinata could share in a day.

But she wasn't dressed completely covered up.

Instead, she wore a yukata.

The space below is a vacuum.

It felt strange to wear a yukata in a room with men around. Lin Shuyu felt that every part of her body exposed outside the yukata was being stared at with intense gazes.

She didn't dare look up to see if Amanosaki was really looking at her.

Lin Shuyu was afraid that Amanosaki was spying on her, because then she wouldn't be able to deceive herself.

But she was more afraid that Amanosaki wasn't looking at her, because that might mean her body wasn't attractive to him.

Lin Shuyu has made up her mind today to achieve perfect harmony in life with Amanosaki.

From the moment Zheng Lun locked her in the room and declared he would prove who was worthy of pursuing her, Lin Shuyu had been using the "Heavenly Man Physiognomy" to deduce the future.

She was unwilling to become a tool for a family marriage, to unite with a larger family heir, and to marry someone she had never met before, whose character, personality, morality, and wisdom could not be guaranteed.

She didn't want to think about being fought over by several men anymore.

Indeed, some women find pleasure in how many men pursue them and how many men fight over them.

But Lin Shuyu is not that kind of person. She hates being surrounded by men like prey, and she hates endless blind dates even more. At her parents' request, she chats and dates with men, listing her own advantages like a commodity, and choosing a partner with the eye of picking a commodity. This is simply a huge joke when it comes to love.

She was even less willing to miss Amanosaki. She had worked with him for a long time and knew his character. He was considerate and straightforward, although he was occasionally not very bright. He wouldn't think about anything as long as she was around.

But isn't that exactly right? Being relied upon by an outstanding man you admire proves that you are outstanding enough.

Besides... she had feelings for him from the very beginning.

Lin Shuyu sat on the short sofa next to the coffee table. This kind of black leather office sofa was very hard and a bit uncomfortable to sit on.
