My wife is the stand-in.

"Judging by the length of your beard, you've probably been divorced for less than a year, haven't you?"

"Is there a child involved, and the child was awarded to the ex-wife?"

He spoke faster and faster.

“I understand, I understand. After all, you’re the kind of person who gets divorced, has a bad temper, is a disappointed man, and resents society and family. You feel miserable if you don’t drink, but when you do drink, you become a terrible person and need to vent, so you resort to domestic violence, tsk tsk.”

The bearded man gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

Yes, Amanosaki was right once again. The reason for his divorce was related to his own fiery temper and the fact that he became increasingly unable to control himself as he entered middle age. After he showed signs of domestic violence and his several attempts to repent failed, his wife, for the sake of their daughter, decisively moved back to her hometown and divorced him through a lawyer's lawsuit.

To get away from him, she didn't even want the house or child support.

"You seemed to really enjoy slapping me just now? Is it because your ex-wife remarried a man who's as handsome as me?"

"You're jealous that I'm handsome, but you're ugly and drink all day long. Aren't you resentful that you're no longer married while I sleep with two beautiful girls every day?"

"We're like birds flying side by side!" Amanosaki deliberately dragged out the word, his voice brimming with unrestrained pride.

Hinata Hyuga laughed heartily on the recliner, feeling exceptionally happy.

"Unlike you, your wife calls another man 'husband,' your children call another man 'dad,' and at night your ex-wife is moaning seductively under another man!"

As he spoke, he imitated a woman's voice: "Ah! Honey, you're so amazing!"

Finally, Amanosaki clicked his tongue and looked at the bearded man with pity: "You are a disgrace to middle-aged men."

The bearded man was already furious after Amanosaki mocked his family. Then Amanosaki looked at him with the same eyes he would use to look at stray cats and dogs on the street, denied his gender, and described his woman as a prostitute.

"I'll fucking kill you!"

With veins bulging on his head and his beard bristling in fury, he lunged at Amanosaki like a wild boar.

"That's why I said you're really stupid, no wonder your wife ran off with someone else."

Amanosaki, who had been describing things vividly, looked coldly at the bearded man.

He kicked his foot back, and the Spear of Longchinus, which the bearded man had thrown to the ground, jumped up.

Amanosaki gripped the butt of the gun with both feet and swayed it gently.

The tip of the spear cut a barely open wound on the bearded man's stomach, with hardly a drop of blood visible.

Then, he calmly rolled to the side.

The bearded man, like a puppet that had lost its control, crashed straight to the ground with a dull thud and passed out.

"Well done Nozaki!"

Hinata shouted with great joy, extremely excited.

"You dare to insult my wife?" Amanosaki sniffed the snot that had run down his nose from the sour smell and spat it onto the bearded man's face.

Chapter 213: Please, as your aunt, break up with this boy.

The sight of the bearded man falling to the ground stunned everyone on the investigation team.

As a low-key alarm sounded in everyone's earpieces, the researchers hurriedly grabbed their data and stood aside, looking at Amanosaki with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

A large number of fully armed soldiers followed the Wu Zu and surged in.

The dense, dark muzzles of guns were aimed at Amanosaki, who was bound by handcuffs. The soldiers were covered in sweat, and their fingers trembled uncontrollably.

They were all soldiers in this army group, so they had naturally heard about Amanosaki's achievements.

"Everyone, let's disperse. Old Xu brought this on himself."

One of the investigation team members, hidden among the moving equipment, was about the same age as the bearded man, but was clearly more energetic and had a stronger voice. He took off his mask, clapped his hands, and said...

The soldiers filed out in silence, and the somewhat stiff atmosphere dissipated.

'It seems we can save the solution to unlocking the handcuffs for next time.'

Hinata Hyuga sent the diagram of the handcuffs' internal structure and energy circulation, which she had analyzed with her Byakugan, to Amanosaki via the "As If I Were Here" technique.

'Hmm.' Amanosaki mentally gave a thumbs-up. 'The same trick won't work twice on a Stand user.'

While the two were exchanging glances, the man who was speaking had already instructed the members of the investigation team to drag the bearded man to a bed next door, where the researchers quickly began to examine him.

"Who are you?"

The man spread his hands, revealing a bunch of keys to indicate that he meant no harm. He walked over and unlocked the door. “I am the person in charge of this investigation team, or rather, the team leader. My name is Cao Yuanhang. You can call me Lao Cao, my friend.”

“Okay, Lao Cao.” Amanosaki didn’t hesitate. After the handcuffs were removed, he noticed several needle marks on his wrists.

The needle hole was very large; in fact, an ordinary needle probably wouldn't have been able to pierce the skin of the field.

"A two-pronged approach: tranquilizers and ruthless methods," Hinata speculated. "Using supernatural abilities to suppress supernatural abilities, then injecting it through a puncture wound with an alloy syringe... that's overly cautious."

Amanosaki's eyes quickly scanned his wrist before he pushed himself up from the ground.

Without the restraint of the handcuffs, the weakness in his body quickly disappeared—the robust physical condition brought about by the medicinal bath rapidly metabolized the sedative, turning it into the urge to urinate.

"Why would your investigation team accept this kind of scum?"

Amanosaki dusted off the footprints on his combat uniform and sat down on a round stool.

Seeing that Nozaki still showed signs of anger, Cao Yuanhang pushed over the documents that the bearded man had previously scribbled on:

The document clearly states in red the title "Stress Test Assessment".

Damn it! After all this time, the bearded man came up here aggressively, trying to test me?

Amanosaki frowned; this guy was too aggressive.

"I didn't expect Lao Xu to bring his personal life into his work. Although he has a bad character, his work ability is undeniable, especially in his current position."

"He was originally in charge of contacting potentially corrupt knights-errant. Although most knights-errant are innocent, if even one knight-errant who warrants investigation has a problem, the entire team could be wiped out, and the frontline personnel are the most vulnerable."

"His family problems are also related to his high-risk work over the years."

Cao Yuanhang spoke in a cryptic manner, but it was not difficult for Amanosaki, who had decades of experience in normal society on Earth, to understand.

Because most people in this world focus too much on chivalrous heroes, they generally don't know much about the government system unless they have civil servants around them.

Amanosaki's common sense from Earth told him that people who have worked on the front lines for many years and have fought for the country are usually not dismissed like employees of private companies, even if they suffer from serious illness or family upheavals.

This kind of job was known as an "iron rice bowl" in the older generation.

Unlike capitalists, the state will not exploit you and then abandon you. Instead, it will assign you to a job with low pay but a relaxed work environment, suitable for retirement and recuperation.

As for this old Xu... judging from the conversation just now, Amanosaki is a hot-tempered guy with a strong sense of self-esteem, even among men. He probably feels that the organization's assignment of him to a low-level department is an insult, which is why he is stubbornly refusing to back down.

Perhaps they were frontline supervisors before? Like Cao Yuanhang, but due to mental health reasons, they've returned to their old profession.

However, now that things have gone wrong at work, I'm afraid I'll have to step down from my current role.

As expected, Cao Yuanhang sighed, "It turns out that Lao Xu's family problems have seriously affected his work style. I will report to headquarters and have him transferred to an administrative position."

There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.

"My advice is to stop him from working from now on."

Amanosaki seemed completely oblivious to the other party's implication that "Old Xu is already in such a sorry state, you should be lenient with him."

Cao Yuanhang looked at Amanosaki in surprise, pointing at the document with his finger: "Old Xu's attitude isn't good, but he's impeccable at his work. Look. All the boxes you checked in your stress resistance report are qualified, and he hasn't had time to finish the rest yet..."

"I won't retaliate against him."

Amanosaki smiled again, "I'm just stating the facts."

"My gun is a bit special. In the words of the guards at the Wudang branch, it is a divine weapon. Anyone who is wounded by it will suffer damage to their soul."

“Your colleague is just an ordinary person, with no special spirit or soul. Given his family troubles, I think he will probably have to stay in the hospital for a long time to recover, and his mind will not be as sharp afterward.”

Hinata Hyuga glanced at the bearded man, who was still unconscious on the next bed and wouldn't wake up, then looked at Amanosaki and chuckled.

The smile on Amanosaki's face at that moment was all too familiar to her, as his stand-in.

It was the kind of satisfied feeling of a successful scheme, yet an expression that one tried to conceal with a nonchalant smile.

This is not a matter of fact; it is clearly a pre-planned revenge.

'I regret the change in your colleague's life, but that's no reason for him to insult Hinata. One thing at a time,' Amanosaki thought to himself.

"Here, have an orange."

On the sofa, the third and fourth aunts held Lin Shuyu between their arms, giving them a clear view of her front and side profiles.

Lin Shuyu had a mouthful of orange stuffed into her mouth. The sweet and sour juice burst in her mouth, making her, whose eating habits were not very regular due to work, very hungry.

But this did not hide her embarrassment.

Because her aunts had just asked her about her chastity.

She also nodded in acknowledgment that she and Amanosaki had already consummated their marriage.

Fourth Aunt clapped her hands and exclaimed, "What a tragedy!" Third Aunt's face didn't look too good, but she still managed a smile and peeled an orange for her.

An awkward silence fell over the room. After Lin Shuyu swallowed the orange, her aunt patted her niece's shoulder and whispered:

"Shuyu, you've always been obedient since you were little. I'm begging you, please break up with that guy named Amanosaki, okay?"

Lin Shuyu had already heard some of Hinata Hyuga's 'senior's' insights from her, and was mentally prepared.

But when her third aunt actually spoke, her mind went blank.

Senseless.

Chapter 214: I'm determined to have this grandson-in-law!

"Shuyu, you've always been obedient since you were little. I'm begging you, please break up with that guy named Amanosaki, okay?"

After her third aunt finished speaking tentatively, Lin Shuyu's eyes were lifeless, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Everyone has a youthful phase.

Who hasn't dreamed of love?

However, being born into a large family means that an individual's happiness is not important for the continuation of the family line.

Fourth Aunt coughed and said, "This is also what Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law wanted, and Eldest Brother also agreed."
