Mandy chimed in, "But there are definitely some really awful family members. I remember Old Yi's aunt or something, she was a very beautiful person, but her personality was..."

"Mandy!"

Shibuya interrupted the police superintendent, who raised her hands in a gesture brimming with French wisdom—surrender.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that anymore."

A beautiful aunt? Chu Yinan felt that he and Prosecutor Shibuya Yi seemed to have a lot in common. He also had a very beautiful aunt, and actually another aunt who was a TV host. She was a relative of Aunt Liu and was also a beautiful young woman, but they rarely kept in touch.

"Why are you all so serious? It's not some family conflict, it's just... some minor accidental misunderstanding that led to this. My whole family saw it, and now they think I'm a child with strange hobbies." Chu Yinan said bitterly.

Even though several hours have passed, just thinking about it now gives him goosebumps.

I woke up to such a devastating blow that I no longer want to love.

Mandy and Shibuya exchanged glances, thinking there must be something interesting going on, but being children, they were too proud to ask directly.

The senior superintendent, using her persuasive skills, began to gain Chu Yinan's trust. She pulled up her chair, leaned close to the little boy, patted his shoulder, and sighed empathetically:

"I think I understand what you're talking about. When I was still an intern, I received a report of a similar case, which was quite embarrassing."

Hmm? You want to hear some gossip?

Chu Yinan was unaware that he was walking right into the other party's trap. A sharp gossip glint flashed in his eyes: "Gossip, tell me!"

"Zhang San traveled a long distance to surprise his girlfriend, but when he looked out of her apartment building, he discovered that his long-distance girlfriend was cheating on him. On Valentine's Day, she was using the lipstick that Zhang San had saved up to buy for her to apply to another man's lipstick."

"For the next few days, Zhang San's friends found that they couldn't contact him after drinking with him, and his family couldn't contact him either, so they called the police and asked us to break down the door to check on him."

"After breaking down the door, Zhang San was in the living room. A high-definition adult film was projected on the wall with the sound turned up very loud. Zhang San himself was lying on the sofa, holding a sex toy, and there was a pile of tissues on the floor."

"When he woke up, the first thing he would have seen was the police officers surrounding him."

Good heavens, I wasn't planning on doing anything frivolous, but after what you guys did, I might just want to jump off a building right now.

"I didn't know there was such a thing. Thank you, I feel much better!" Chu Yinan suddenly realized that her problem wasn't such a big deal after all.

Shibuya and Mandy exchanged another glance, their eyes and signals working together.

— Judging from this, the little guy's "misunderstanding" should be similar to what I said. At such a young age, he was surrounded by his family while "comforting himself"?

—Probably so...

Mandy really wanted to tease Chu Yinan about this, but she held back her playful impulse. If Chu Yinan was too shy, she might have to turn against them later.

After drinking tea on paid leave until 3:30, Shibuya glanced down at the messages on her phone, knowing that her time to slack off was almost over.

"Alright, the inspection team will be here in 5 minutes. There will also be observers from the Joint Council. Chu Yinan, just answer as usual. It won't have a big impact if you can't answer."

The female prosecutor said that, but if Chu Yinan behaved poorly during the conversation, they would still have to write explanations and reports afterward; that's unavoidable in this line of work. The reason she said "the impact won't be too great" was simply to avoid putting psychological pressure on Chu Yinan.

"The Bonaparte family?" Mandy picked up the schedule and glanced at it. "Could they be here to target Chu Yinan?"

"Huh?" Chu Yinan was completely bewildered. "I've never even heard of this Bonaparte family. Why are they targeting me?"

"It's just a possibility, I'll tell you later." Mandy didn't want to keep him in suspense, it was just time.

......

The main conference room of the Procuratorate.

It was just a meeting and discussion among a few people, but they requisitioned such a large conference room. Chu Yinan thought to himself, "These people have quite a lot of influence."

There were three people sitting opposite him: one woman and two men. One of the men was a member of the investigation team, with an average appearance and about forty years old. The other was the interview recorder, who looked like he had just started working there.

As for the woman, her appearance and aura contrasted sharply with the unremarkable appearance of the other two.

The woman was a white noblewoman with long, wavy blonde hair—a natural, elegant gold without the harshness of hair dye. Her features… well, Chu Yinan couldn't tell if they were pretty or not. Her formal attire featured gold patterns in the details, proudly displaying her hot figure while maintaining a sense of noble status.

She knows how to highlight her strengths; her plump and slender legs are eye-catching, and paired with high heels, she exudes a powerful aura, without losing her feminine charm.

Chu Yinan originally wanted to take a closer look at the noblewoman's thighs, hoping to find an opportunity to observe whether she was a good or bad person. However, noticing that the woman was staring at him, Chu Yinan had to look away.

"Hello, my name is Chu Yinan. I heard that the investigation team needs to investigate my experiences from the recent period of time. Do I need to answer any questions?"

The man, who was around forty years old, nodded: "Hello, my name is Qiao Ping. Since you already know why we're here, there's no need to explain. You don't need to feel pressured to answer this time; no matter how you answer, it won't have a negative impact on you."

"The oversight body in the Joint Parliament has noticed that your recent experiences are quite prominent. These are the case files we have access to. Please take a look and see if they are true."

The table in front of Chu Yinan suddenly became transparent; the previous wooden texture was just a projection of paint, and now it displayed the contents of the electronic case file.

He didn't actually look closely; he just glanced at the recorder's signature, "Shibuya Gi," and nodded.

"That's the truth."

Chapter 50 Misunderstanding Cleared Up

The investigation process was rather boring. It mainly involved verifying the authenticity of Chu Yinan's records, and every now and then, they would subtly hint that if it was found to be inconsistent with the facts, there would be a lot of trouble later.

Chu Yinan was certainly not lying, especially since there were always so many witnesses present each time.

After listening to Qiao Ping's questions for about ten minutes, Chu Yinan realized that the verification was a pretense; their real intention was to get him to change the records. They even threw a few riddles at him, similar to the case itself...

One of the questions tested geographical location and the direction in which the rainbow appeared. Chu Yinan guessed it before even hearing the full details of the case. Another riddle was more challenging, but it was clearly not Qiao Ping's idea; he couldn't even describe the case clearly.

After leaving the conference room, Chu Yinan leisurely went to the restroom to urinate. Halfway through urinating, Superintendent Mandy walked in unabashedly.

And she was standing in front of the men's urinal next to Chu Yinan. For a moment, Chu Yinan thought she would unbuckle her belt, take out her "tool" and say to him, "What a coincidence, you're here to pee too."

"You're really calm, aren't you? How was your answer?" Mandy stood calmly in front of the toilet.

"It was alright. There was a riddle, which was a shame because I didn't get to hear the whole question. Um... where's Shibuya-nee? Did I go into the wrong restroom?"

"Do you think there would be such a hanging urinal in the women's restroom? Shibuya is outside, she didn't dare to come in."

"Then why are you standing so calmly in front of the urinal? Aren't you afraid your colleagues will see you entering the men's room?" Chu Yinan was dumbfounded. Is this the legendary "as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed"?

"I'll have them go out and wait first, because I have a higher rank," the police superintendent said smugly.

There are partitions between the men's urinals to protect privacy, but these partitions are not very useful for tall people. Mandy only tilted her body slightly towards Chu Yinan, and she saw everything she needed to see.

Mandy's single life is equivalent to her age, but because of her profession, she knows what a normal male physique looks like. She can find photos of actual physiques in any case file for a specific crime, and sometimes even the clothing of suspects during arrests is quite...

Now, she wondered if she had just imagined it.

...Is this really a child's toy? Compared to some of the women's toys that have been confiscated, Chu Yinan's is practically a large size.

Chu Yinan finished urinating hastily, washed his hands, and ran out of the bathroom.

"Don't run so fast, be careful the floor in the hallway outside the restroom is slippery," the female prosecutor warned, pulling his hand to prevent him from falling.

"Shibuya-nee, you should talk to Mandy-nee! She's so shameless!"

"That's how she is; saying it won't help."

Back in the break room, Chu Yinan asked about what had just happened: "What was that blonde woman doing? Why was she silent the whole time, staring at me like she was angry?"

“That’s Veronica from the Bonaparte family. She has a son in college who is also a prosecutor. Mandy and I guessed that her family wanted to give their son some kind of honorary title, like Outstanding Young Collaborator of the Prosecutor’s Office. But when they were submitting the applications, they found that one of the kids had already taken the top spot, so naturally they ‘checked’ the situation.” Shibuya Yi frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with the situation.

"They must have given you a hint to change the records, right?" Mandy sat casually on the sofa in the break room, legs crossed, her posture arrogant.

"Correct."

Mandy chuckled. "That lady named Veronica is a real powerhouse, and quite ruthless, but as long as you don't have any dirt on her, she can't do anything to you. Just ignore her. Alright, it's almost five o'clock now. Since it's almost time to get off work, there's no need to talk about such heavy things."

Wait, you actually know that it's "almost" time to leave work? I haven't even left work yet...

"So what shall we talk about?" Chu Yinan was curious about what she would say next. Could it be that she was taking him somewhere fun?

This is great!

Chu Yinan felt socially dead when she woke up in the morning and didn't want to go home.

"After the last kidnapping incident, did your family say anything afterward? Like, 'Don't contact us' or anything like that? I'm asking for Shibuya Yi. She really likes you, little brat, but because she's worried about your family's reaction, she's been avoiding contact with you as much."

Mandy's expression was sincere, earnest, and serious, and Chu Yinan couldn't tell whether she was joking or serious.

Shibuya Gyu was the first to jump in and retort: ​​"You're the one who's worried, aren't you? Don't put all the blame on me."

Mandy looked disgusted: "Old Yi, what's wrong with you? You're afraid to go into the men's restroom, fine, but why can't you even admit to something this simple?"

Shibuya Giri didn't want to argue with her anymore. She felt that her intelligence would be dragged down to the same level as Shibuya's, and then she would be defeated by Shibuya's rich experience.

Chu Yinan cleared his throat and took the lead, saying, "Actually, it's nothing. My family was just too worried at the time. After calming down, they also felt that they had gone too far. Don't distance yourself from me because of that misunderstanding. Actually, it's quite fun to go out with you guys to solve cases."

Shibuya Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't show it on her face. She actually felt very guilty about what happened that night.

"Then I'll find some time later to invite you out to Lao Yi's house for a meal, and let her cook."

"Shall we go out for dinner tonight?" Chu Yinan didn't want to go home and lose face, and wanted to hang out with the two older sisters.

"That won't do," Shibuya Yi refused. "Let's meet up another time. Your family doesn't allow you to eat out at night, right?"

I had almost forgotten about this, how come you still remember!

Chu Yinan wanted to discuss the matter further, but was ruthlessly driven home by the two in a private car.

......

"Heinrich, I ran into another noblewoman today, her name is Veronica, and she doesn't like me!" Chu Yinan felt that the only person in the family who wouldn't laugh at him was his female father, so after being dragged home, he went to her room as soon as possible to find something to talk about.

"That long-legged woman from the Bonaparte family? The one who always has that sour face."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chu Yinan felt that this summary was really spot on. Her legs were indeed long in proportion to her body, but they were also very beautiful.

"I'm not familiar with her, but Veronica is an outlier even in the aristocratic circles of Glory Island. She's quite ambitious. Why would she dislike you?"

"Although she didn't say a word the whole time, I felt that she had the investigation team hint to me to change the case file records."

“Oh, is that so? There’s a banquet event on Glory Island in a while, I’ll take you there then. Maybe we can run into each other and I can give you a chance to scold her son to his face, just like you scolded Li Zaiye last time.” Heinrich smiled and pulled up the old video, playing it at maximum volume in the room.

Chu Yinan's expression vanished instantly: "Heinrich, you've changed too."

-----

PS: Just laying the groundwork for the Glory Island storyline, and incidentally adding a pretty female villain as a plot device.

These days, when I watch anime, I mostly focus on the beautiful female villains. It seems like the production team puts a lot of effort into the female villains.

Chapter 51 New Mission

Social death is not entirely without value. As Hemingway and Lu Xun said, social death that doesn't kill you completely can make you enjoy it even more.

Chu Yinan accepted it even faster. Having suffered such a blow at home, he had become indifferent to fame and fortune, and no longer cared about his reputation or status.
