The package has assigned me way too many objects.

Chu Yinan loved watching women fight; it would be even better if they could tear each other's clothes or armor.

After the cake was finished, Heinrich brought out several bottles of expensive wine to add to the festivities.

The wine is expensive and strong; a rich aroma wafts out as soon as the bottle is opened.

In just a few drinks, the Jiang mother and daughter were plied with drinks by Heinrich until their pretty faces were flushed and their eyes were glazed.

Chu Yinan, on the other hand, mixed orange juice and other similar drinks, which were basically just fruit juice with a little alcohol added.

I hadn't had a few drinks when the phone rang. It was Shibuya Gyo's private number.

"It's afternoon now, I wonder if Shibuya-nee and Mandy-nee are slacking off together again?" Chu Yinan muttered to himself as he answered the phone, "Hello, good afternoon, Shibuya-nee."

[Shibuya Gyou: Good afternoon. Did the inspection team give you any further trouble? According to the rules, they shouldn't bother you anymore unless there are new suspicious points. If there are any threats against you, you can tell me.]

"Not yet. If I do, I'll let you know. Is Shibuya-nee dating Mandy-nee again?"

[Shibuya Gyou: No, she's away on a business trip these past couple of days. I need to go and question Fissla. By the way, about that 'escape from the bathroom' thing we mentioned last time, if you have any new ideas, feel free to let me know.]

If I come up with any truly novel ideas, I might get arrested on the spot.

But what about questioning Fissla? When we talked on the phone earlier, wasn't Fissla seemingly in a compromising situation with some kind of leader?

Chu Yinan still remembers the man's voice she heard on the phone back then; thinking about it now, it still seems rather absurd.

"Is there something I can ask you, Shibuya-nee?"

[Shibuya Giri: What is it?]

"It's a private matter, a family dispute. Fissla works at BG Company, and she's quite a project manager there. There's an honorary manager on secondment at that company, who's the father of my sister's classmate, but there's been some estrangement between them. I was wondering if it would be convenient for you to mention Jiang Jinxiang when you ask Fissla about him."

Chu Yinan phrased it very tactfully, but Shibuya Yi already understood what he meant.

She didn't want to get involved in family matters, so she didn't reply immediately. Instead, she searched for the name Jiang Jinxiang in her work system.

After briefly reviewing the man's resume and work relationships, Shibuya became suspicious of the middle-aged man's financial situation.

"Similar business nature, no non-compete agreement is one thing, but to take up a position at another company is usually a recipe for financial commingling. If something happens to the company, he'll have to lose his entire fortune."

Have you received compensation from both commercial insurance and workers' compensation insurance? During a business trip, a dispute resulted in irreparable damage, and you received nearly one million RMB in compensation.

Despite the enormous amount of compensation involved, her system failed to record the specific details of the damage, only mentioning the details briefly.

Although this record is from more than ten years ago, when the regulations for public service agencies may not have been perfect, and the blame could be loosely placed on the recorder, the review of this written document alone is still significant.

This uncle has a lot of questions.

Given these doubts, it would be appropriate for Shibuya Yi to inquire about Jiang Jinxiang's matter on Chu Yinan's behalf as well.

[Shibuya Giri: Okay, if the information is something I can share, then I'll tell you.]

Chu Yinan quickly sent his thanks; it was much easier than he had expected.

We'll have to wait and see what happens.

In fact, it would be quite easy for Chu Yinan to use the evidence of Jiang Jinxiang's purchase of organs on the black market and his illegal transplant surgeries to threaten Jiang Jinxiang.

However, he himself will also get into a lot of trouble, and this evidence cannot be used as evidence in court.

Because the evidence system includes a rule for excluding illegally obtained evidence, which involves the "fruit of the poisonous tree" theory in jurisprudence.

Evidence obtained through illegal means is inherently bad; it is like a poisonous fruit from a poisonous tree and cannot be used in court debates.

However, this limitation only applies to criminal cases; it does not exist in civil cases.

If Aunt Hyun-eun wants to file for civil divorce in the future, Chu Yinan can bring this thing out.

However, it was quite bad to expose Jiang Jinxiang's secret about being a man in court.

----------

In the interrogation room, Fissla had already changed into a prison uniform specially provided by the prison.

Her case was tried quickly because she confessed to all the crimes and took all the blame upon herself.

This naturally involves her own choices and transactions.

The company's leadership had spoken with her, saying that if she confessed on her own, she would receive a generous reward after serving her sentence.

Rather than implicate her superiors, go to jail together to take the blame, and then be unable to find work and live on meager welfare after serving her sentence, Fissla chose to serve two more years in prison.

The prosecution was aware that the other party was making deals behind the scenes, but there was nothing they could do.

Unable to find any leads to investigate the senior management of Bg Company, and with Fissla having confessed to everything, the prosecution, which also had to close the case, could only turn a blind eye.

“My answer was the same as last time, nothing changed. It was just my momentary greed,” Fissla said, keeping her mouth shut.

However, Shibuya and his team did not come to uncover new cases; they were simply there to supplement missing details in the missing case files.

After asking all the necessary questions, Shibuya Yi then inquired about the matter Chu Yinan had asked her to do:

"How much do you know about Jiang Jinxiang?"

Fassla, looking sallow and dejected, could have kept quiet, but she also harbored resentment towards her superiors.

They degraded themselves to rise to power, only to end up in jail, while those greasy men can still sit in their offices and continue to seduce young girls.

She decided to reveal some scandals, but not scandals that would affect Jiang Jinxiang's position, which can be regarded as a compromise between revenge and a deal.

"He knows a lot. He's a pot-bellied old man. He used to have some muscle when he was young, but now he's just skin and bones. If he doesn't wear a straight, tailored suit, he probably can't even see his own penis."

The prosecutor accompanying her guessed that Shibuya might have discovered some details of the case and was trying to find a clue, so she didn't say anything to interfere and chose to keep quiet and watch the show.

"You sound like you know a lot about him. What's your relationship with him?" Shibuya asked in a calm tone, displaying an attitude that wasn't particularly interested in the truth.

"Ha! It's nothing, he just accidentally got his clothes wet, and I went out with him at noon to buy him a change. His wife is beautiful, but unfortunately, she cheated on him."

“That’s not what I want to know.”

Shibuya was exasperated, while the prosecutor beside her was anxious; this was exactly the kind of gossip we wanted to hear!

"But that's all I know."

"Alright, go on."

Then Fissla sneered gloatingly:

"He used to have a problem with that area, making it impossible for him to have children. He said it was because of the stress of drinking at banquets, and that his sperm quality wasn't good. But then his wife got pregnant. What else could that be but a cuckold's horns, or maybe even a big, thick one?"

I don't know what it was like before, I only know that he later bought a big black bird (referring to a parrot) and installed it on himself, but in the end it still only had the function of draining water.

It's completely useless, yet people still have to smile and say it's great. Disgusting!

Several male prosecutors' lips twitched, and they couldn't help but ask, though in a veiled manner: "So how did he make you 'report to him'? Didn't he say you were 'completely useless'?"

"You can lick a popsicle, but you can't lick a soft jelly stick?" Fissla retorted disdainfully.

"So what kind of work does he usually do at BG Company?" Shibuya ignored the strange extra information.

"I don't know!" Fissla remained tight-lipped again.

Shibuya Gyo didn't expect this guy to actually have principles. He wouldn't utter a word about any dangerous information about his superiors, but he would readily spill the beans about scandals, practically shouting them out over a megaphone.

This kind of subtle information is useless, but it's not good to convey it to Chu Yinan either, as it's a bit inappropriate for a child.

Let Mandy relay the message; she's shameless.

Chapter 64: The Noblewoman's Maid is an Aid to Evil (Part 2)

The little party at home lasted only a short while before it ended.

Before Chu Yinan could react, the Jiang mother and daughter were both drunk and asleep on the sofa.

She wasn't fully asleep, but her eyes were half-closed, and she occasionally murmured softly.

"Heinrich, did you mix sleeping tea into the wine? How did you manage to get everyone drunk?"

Chu Yinan walked to Marissa's side, touched her flushed face, her smooth skin was supple and bouncy, and a little hot, like a small heater.

Noticing Chu Yinan's small hand, Marissa, who was taking a nap after being drunk, subconsciously rubbed her cheek against Chu Yinan's hand.

Heinrich continued to sit and drink as if nothing had happened. While everyone else was getting drunk after mixing fruit juice with their drinks, she was drinking the undiluted liquor and still seemed quite energetic. However, her cheeks were unusually flushed, as if she had applied rouge to her face.

From this perspective, setting aside her role as a father, Heinrich is also a very charming woman. With the help of alcohol and rouge, her nonchalance fades, and she gains a touch of allure.

“I didn’t force them to drink it; they drank it because they thought it tasted good.”

"They got drunk way too quickly. If they're this reckless at other people's birthday parties, it would be better to bring out the wine at dinner."

"Actually, being just the right amount of drunk can temporarily make you forget your troubles. It's unrealistic to use the joy of holiday activities to dilute your sorrows. Once the peak of happiness passes, you'll soon remember the unpleasant things, which will overwhelm the joy of your birthday. It's better to just sleep it off."

Heinrich called Chu Yinan to his side and poured a small sip of liquor into his favorite lemonade. "Want some?"

You practically offered it to me before asking if I wanted to drink it.

Chu Yinan had never tried lemon juice with an alcoholic taste before. Looking at the drunken "corpses," his reason ultimately gave way to curiosity.

"What if I get drunk? What if I have pathological intoxication? I might act crazy while drunk." Chu Yinan said this with concern, having already taken the small paper cup.

"It's alright, how crazy can a little one go when he's drunk? Delia is very capable, she can take you down without even using her hands."

Although it's probably true, it's really hurtful for you to say it directly, right, Dad?

Chu Yinan downed the special lemonade for the birthday party in one gulp. The taste was quite strange, and the alcohol was spicy. Fortunately, the lemon was sour enough today to cover most of the alcohol taste.

"Not bad, nothing special. How could someone get drunk like that? That's lame." Not long after he finished speaking, Chu Yinan's head started to spin.

Heinrich picked up Chu Yinan, and Chu Yinan naturally placed her face on her father's full breasts, the soft and reassuring white pectoral muscles like a perfect pillow.

"By the way, where's Aunt Liu? She just disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

"I'm going back to my room for a nap. I've had a few drinks and I'm feeling sleepy. I'm pretty drunk now, so I might as well take a nap during this break."

Heinrich instructed Delia to tidy up the scene, cover the sleeping girls in the living room with blankets, and then took the baby back to his room to sleep with Yan Liu.

The alcohol had a strong aftereffect, and the afternoon nap didn't end until almost five o'clock. Jiang Xuanya and Li Xuanen were both embarrassed because they had actually fallen asleep drunk at someone else's house.

Yan Liu warmly invited them to stay for dinner before instructing the maid and Chu Yinan to escort the mother and daughter home.
