I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

In order to defend his reputation, Ishigami Yu immediately defended himself.

"You can't generalize, Fujiwara-senpai. It's said that some authors who fail to complete the update volume will dress up as women to pay off their debts, and their readers appreciate this behavior."

"Ah!" Fujiwara Chika showed an even more disgusted expression.

"Who on earth would like to see a man wearing women's clothes? Under those black stockings are thick leg hairs!"

"Who knows," Ishigami Yu shrugged, "Maybe it's a female author."

Fujiwara Chika spread her hands and turned her gaze to Iino Miko, the only one who did not speak.

"Yako, everyone agrees to cosplay, do you want to come?"

Iino Miko said absentmindedly: "Sorry, Fujiwara-senpai, I'm not in the mood to have fun for the time being. My father seems to be sick."

Chapter 196: The survival of the island nation, what does it have to do with me?

Seeing Iino Miko's worried look, Fujiwara Chika put away her playful mood and went over to ask with concern.

"Xiao Mizi, what happened to your father? Is he seriously ill?"

Iino Miko sighed and said, "I don't know what happened to him, but Dad has been very cold to us at home recently. He doesn't take the initiative to talk to us and seems to be in a daze all the time."

"When we talked to him, he answered very simply and seemed to be absent-minded all the time."

"My mother suspected that he was hiding something from his family, so she quarreled with him, but he didn't say a word and went straight to his room to sleep."

Ishigami Yu shook his head and said, "That's really a big crisis. Iino, ask your mother to hire a lawyer immediately."

"Why? My parents are both engaged in legal work." Iino Miko asked in a daze.

Fujiwara Chika said seriously: "Xiao Miko, your father is not sick, he has changed his heart!"

Chika Fujiwara, who calls herself a "love detective," has read a wide range of works that describe love affairs after marriage.

According to Iino Miko's description, her father's abnormal behaviors were obviously a sign that he was a middle-aged man who had a new love outside and was preparing for divorce!

"This is impossible!" Iino Miko shouted.

Ishigami Yu said sympathetically: "Accept the reality, Iino, your father has changed his mind. Whether you admit it or not, this is the reality."

Fujiwara Chika also interrupted and said, "Your father's situation is indeed very similar to those cheating men in TV dramas. Xiao Mizi's mother must have noticed this and quarreled with him."

"Really? Are mom and dad going to get divorced? No!"

Iino Miko's young heart was filled with panic, fear, confusion and terror.

Thinking of her happy family that was about to be shattered in the blink of an eye, Iino Miko felt as if her soul had been taken away. Her body staggered and her cheeks were pale and bloodless.

Shijo Shinki came over and advised: "Things haven't come to that point yet, the so-called cheating is just your speculation, don't mislead Xiao Miko."

"Senior Shijo..."

Iino Miko was like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, and cast a hopeful look at Shijo Shinki.

All I heard was Shijo Shinki saying, "The most urgent thing is to hire a professional detective to investigate the whereabouts of Koyomiko's father, install a micro-eavesdropping device and a pinhole camera on him, and try to catch him cheating."

"Next, we need to confront him and ask him to cut off all contact with the mistress. If he agrees, we will ask him to sign a marriage agreement and leave the family if he cheats again."

"If he refuses, we will file a lawsuit and hire internet trolls to write short articles to hype up the fact that he cheated on his wife and committed domestic violence."

"If the other party attempts to fight back, you should use the hammer in your hand little by little to beat the scumbag to death completely."

"By the way, Komiko, your father is a judge of the Supreme Court, right? With such a high position, there must be many people who come to curry favor with him. You can collect evidence of his accepting bribes and report it to the news media."

"In this case, a jail term is inevitable."

Iino Miko was stunned by these words: "Is it necessary to be so drastic? You have already regarded my father as a cheating scumbag and a corrupt official, right? There is no evidence yet!"

Ishigami Yu trembled all over after hearing this, and his gynophobia reached an even higher level.

"Women in real life are so scary that they can come up with so many tricks to control men! I'd better not get married and spend my whole life with the paper-figure wives in animations and games. At least the paper-figure wives won't write short essays and cyberbully me."

Shijo Shinki said disapprovingly: "These are used to deal with scumbags. Flies don't bite seamless eggs. They did something bad and left a handle, so don't blame others for exposing it."

Ishigami Yu complained: "The problem is that many people nowadays don't care whether there is evidence or not. They just make up stories or even fabricate facts and directly post short essays online, which brings lifelong psychological trauma to those innocent people who are caught in the crossfire."

Fujiwara Chika said seriously: "Those who frame others must be severely punished. This is not the way to supervise public opinion. We can't let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel."

As expected of the daughter of a political family, her position is different, which makes people have high expectations for her. They think that if this person becomes the prime minister of the island country, it may bring some changes to this lifeless country.

However, when Hayashi Kazuma heard Iino Miko's description, he did not simply think that his father had cheated.

He controlled Kaguya Shinomiya's body and asked, "Xiao Mizi, does your father walk more mechanically, speak in a flat tone, and have a stiff facial expression?"

"Hey, how did Senior Shinomiya know that?" Iino Miko asked in surprise.

Lin Hezhen asked again: "Well, you suspect your father is sick, has he been to the hospital?"

Iino Miko nodded and said, "Yes, at first we thought Dad was sick, so he was not in good condition, so we forced him to go to the hospital for a check-up. The results of the blood test and head MRI report showed that there was no problem."

"My mother also wanted to make an appointment for him to see a psychologist, but my father refused."

Lin Hezhen tapped the tabletop with his fingers playfully.

"So is your father still working normally recently?"

"Yes, he still goes to work at the Supreme Court every day." Iino Miko replied honestly.

"Have your father's colleagues reported any unusual behavior on his part recently?"

Iino Miko shook her head: "I haven't heard about this yet."

"I see, I probably understand."

Lin Hezhen had already made some guesses about this matter.

At this time, Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been listening to their conversation silently, seemed to have thought of something.

[Do you suspect that Iino Miko's father also swapped bodies with someone?] She asked in her mind.

[I'm afraid he didn't exchange bodies with someone, but was controlled by someone. Exchanging bodies like us is a coincidence.] Lin Hezhen replied.

[Eh, could it be that the mastermind behind the actions against us has also attacked others?] Shinomiya Kaguya asked in doubt.

[What else? The mastermind behind the scenes has the ability to control people's minds and can use them for their own purposes without anyone noticing. If they can control all the important people in the upper class of society, it is not impossible to change the island country in an instant.] Lin Hezhen said calmly.

Shinomiya Kaguya imagined the scene and felt a chill in her heart.

[The mastermind behind this is planning something big, and he might threaten the island nation. We must not let him succeed! Mr. Lin, let's find the culprit and bring him to justice. With your ability, you can definitely do it.]

Lin Hezhen yawned.

[What does the survival of an island nation have to do with me? 】

Chapter 197 This Kaguya is just a bummer

[What does the survival of an island nation have to do with me? 】

Shinomiya Kaguya was shocked by Lin Hezhen's words and was speechless for a long time. She really didn't expect that Lin Hezhen was so indifferent to the outside world.

This is probably a manifestation of a cultivator's transcendence of the mundane world, Kaguya Shinomiya thought.

She had heard that those monks often did not care about worldly affairs, did not care about the fights between mortals, and only focused on their own cultivation.

Maybe, Lin Jun is also such a person. Shinomiya Kaguya thought she had found the correct answer, so she stopped worrying about it.

[If the actions of the mastermind endanger Lin Jun's relatives and friends, will you stand idly by? ] She asked.

[Of course not. Anyone who dares to threaten the people around me, I will only make them regret living in this world.] Lin Hezhen said calmly.

Shinomiya Kaguya remained silent. Although she didn't know the man's strength, she knew that as long as Lin Hezhen was willing, he could definitely do it!

At this time, I heard Fujiwara Chika say: "Ah, come to think of it, I met my uncle yesterday, and he seemed a little strange."

She recalled: "We had a family dinner yesterday, and my uncle came too. He actually called me 'Qianhua', even though he used to call me 'Xiao Qian'!"

"Also, my uncle doesn't laugh as much anymore, doesn't talk much, and is much more dull than before, even though he used to love joking around."

"Secretary Fujiwara is too sensitive. Maybe your uncle was in a bad mood that day." Shijo Maki guessed.

Fujiwara Chika thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I am overthinking it. It's impossible that my uncle's abnormal behavior is also a sign of cheating, right?"

Shijo Shinki covered her mouth and chuckled: "Who knows? It's hard to say for sure."

"Huh?!" Fujiwara Chika was shocked.

While the two people were arguing over there, Lin Hezhen and Shinomiya Kaguya keenly noticed something unusual.

[I remember you said that Fujiwara Chika's uncle is the current provincial minister, right?] Hayashi Kazuma asked.

[Indeed, her family is a political family, and every generation has produced politicians. The leader of this generation is her uncle. Could it be that you mean...] Shinomiya Kaguya hesitated to speak.

[It's obvious, isn't it? If the mastermind behind this really had some plans for the island nation, why would he let the cabinet officials go?] Lin Hezhen said as a matter of course.

[Of course, all this is just my personal speculation. Without seeing them in person, I cannot conclude that those people are controlled by Zhenjing Jinjing. ] he added.

Shinomiya Kaguya quickly asked, "You mean, if they are in front of you, you can judge?"

[Of course, I am very familiar with the aura of the Zhenjing Jinjing. I can confirm it with just a scan of my spiritual sense.] Lin Hezhen said bluntly.

"If your speculation is correct, it would be a big deal." Shinomiya Kaguya said with a heavy heart.

[He is also the heir of a plutocrat, a judge of the Supreme Court, and the current provincial minister (minister). The person behind the scenes not only has a big plan, but is also bold. I am afraid that the power behind it is not small. ] Shinomiya Kaguya said worriedly.

[Who knows? ] Lin Hezhen replied casually.

Anyway, no matter what conspiracy those people are planning, the Japanese will just be fighting each other.

Lin Hezhen was none of his business and kept a distance from it, but Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't just sit back and watch.

As a victim (unsuccessful), she felt very insecure as she watched people she knew around her being murdered one after another.

Even with Lin Hezhen as her "personal bodyguard", she still felt a little uneasy, always feeling that there was a big web of conspiracy hanging over her head.

The predator hidden in the darkness is staring at the prey in the net with greedy and cold eyes, ready to pounce and tear them into pieces at any time.

No, when something happens, you must never sit and wait for death!

Thinking of this, Shinomiya Kaguya frowned and came up with a plan.

She pondered and said, "I plan to hold a banquet in my own name to entertain all the celebrities in the upper class of East City. The purpose is to celebrate my taking over those companies and officially announce my participation in the competition for the successor of the Sigong Group."

Lin Hezhen immediately understood what she meant.

[Do you want to take this opportunity to see who is being manipulated by the True Scripture Mirror? ]

[That's right.] Shinomiya Kaguya nodded, [When the time comes, I'll trouble Lin Jun to confirm it on the spot.]

Lin Hezhen thought about it and realized that his purpose was to seize the Zhenjing Jinjing. However, he scanned Dongdu City with his spiritual consciousness and found no trace of the Zhenjing Jinjing. It must be hidden in a certain formation.

Then, the safest way would be for him to keep his troops in place, wait for the mastermind behind the scenes to jump out himself, and then eliminate him with lightning speed, taking the opportunity to get the Zhenjing Jinjing.

In that case, it would be a good idea to check what the other party has arranged.

When the time comes, when they close the net, Lin Hezhen will jump out to pick the peaches, which will surely give the mastermind behind the scenes a great surprise.

[Okay, I'll go there when the time comes.] Lin Hezhen replied.

Since he needs to use his spiritual sense to scan a large area, it would be better for him to be present in person, which can also prevent any accidents.

[But, in what capacity should I go?] He asked again.

Lin Hezhen's real body seems to have nothing to do with the Shinomiya family, and he is not an open member of the upper class, so he needs to find a reasonable identity to attend the banquet.

Otherwise, a strange face appearing at the banquet would be rather eye-catching and might alert the mastermind behind the incident.

[Then, Lin Jun, you can attend the banquet as my, my, my male companion...] Shinomiya Kaguya spoke these short sentences haltingly, which showed her inner turmoil.

【Hmm?】 Lin Hezhen asked calmly.

[That, that is of course impossible... I was just joking, hahaha... In that kind of occasion, if I bring a male companion, I am afraid that it will be mistaken for an official announcement... Of course, if Lin Jun takes the initiative to propose it, I will not give you face, oh hehe! ] Shinomiya Kaguya said incoherently.

Lin Hezhen was a little speechless. What nonsense was this woman talking about?

Shinomiya Kaguya was also secretly regretting in her heart.

Ah, she ruined a good opportunity. It was just an invitation, but she did a 180-degree turn when it was right on her lips!

If Hayasaka Ai was there, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.

I knew Kaguya-sama was bad, but I didn't expect her to be this bad!

If she can't even take the first step, how can she conquer Lin Hezhen in the future? I'm afraid she won't even get her turn to be fucked!
