Chu Ming roughly understood. Because he had written Rum into the novel last time, he had offended all the big shots in the brewery, and many members dared not comment.
After all, Gin might not look at the Dark Web category, but Rum definitely will, and he'll definitely investigate. If the author doesn't find out, but instead finds out about these people who are just laughing at him through the comments, wouldn't he be doomed?
Chu Ming didn't take it seriously, peeled a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth. Let them investigate, what does Vodka's book have to do with Granbury?
"...
"Mifushi, it's been a long time." With a faint smile and a hint of reserve, Kurojin Kotoko looked at Uozuka Mifushi with eyes as soft as silk.
The woman before him had skin as white as snow, eyes like pools of clear water, and long silver hair that reached her waist. Her faint smile dispelled the coldness between her brows, making her truly like a pearl radiating light and a beautiful jade glowing.
Uozuka Mifushi felt that the smile went straight to his heart, and he stammered, "Yes, Kotoko, it's been a long time. The last time we met was probably the last time."
Kotoko's lips twitched slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "Sanfu, what are your plans for this trip back to China?"
"I need to inherit the family business, but actually, that's not my ambition. I'd rather be a taxi driver, Kotoko, you know me."
Kotoko Kurosawa's hand tightened inside her sleeve: "Mitsushi, I need your help. Just for my sake, could you push yourself a little and inherit the family business?"
With a look of excitement on his face, Mifushi Uozuka stood up abruptly and squeezed next to Kotoko, his burly figure making Kotoko appear exceptionally petite.
He reached out and took Qinzi's soft, boneless hand in his, and said with deep affection, "Qinzi, do you finally understand my feelings?"
Kotoko Kurosawa squeezed his hand back: "Mifushi..."
"Qinzi..."
……
Meanwhile, Namiko Amuro successfully found the illegitimate daughter of the former factory owner who was working at a restaurant. The moment she saw her, Namiko knew she had found the right person.
Kotoko Kurojin looks more like her mother, while Ryoko Wakita in front of her looks more like the old factory owner. Just based on their equally ugly appearances, there is no doubt.
Namiko Amuro gave the woman who was diligently washing dishes a gentle smile: "Hello."
Ryoko Wakita wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Hello, are you here for a meal? There's a menu up here, please take a look."
"No, I'm not here for a meal, I'm here to find you."
“?” Ryoko Wakita looked puzzled.
Namiko Amuro handed over a business card and a stack of documents: "I'm a private investigator hired by the former owner of BLACK Distillery. This is my business card. I'm here today to talk to you about your father. Do you have time?"
Ryoko Wakita's eyes flickered as she looked at Namiko Amuro's exquisite attire and smiled slightly: "Of course, please wait a moment while I ask my boss for leave."
……
"So, my father is the chairman of that famous BLACK brewery? Then I'm..."
Ryoko Wakita was filled with excitement. Since her mother's death, she had been living a difficult life and usually enjoyed reading Cinderella novels. She never expected that such a plot would actually happen to her.
"Yes, but please don't get agitated. I'm a detective hired by your father, secretly investigating matters concerning you. I'll report back to him immediately after I get the results. He hasn't forgotten you all these years, and naturally, you'd have a share in such a large brewery. However, BLACK Brewery already has an heir, and you're half-siblings. If Kotoko Kurojin is determined to interfere, you might not get a single penny..."
Namiko Amuro seduced Ryoko Wakita with strong suggestive power.
"What do you mean by that? I won't get a single penny? Just say what you have to say." Ryoko Wakita was furious at the dramatic turn of events.
“Miss Langzi, would you like to cooperate with me? The brewery has a secret recipe. I will help you obtain the inheritance rights of BLACK Brewery. After you become the new owner of the brewery, please make a copy of that recipe for me.”
“Sure, it would be a pleasure to cooperate.” Ryoko Wakita readily agreed, since for her, it was a completely free deal with no loss whatsoever.
Namiko Amuro smiled and said, "It's a pleasure working with you."

Chapter 128 Divorce
"...
When Namiko Amuro returned home, she smelled a strong smell of smoke and alcohol in the living room.
—It's Akai Mugiko.
Akai Mugiko returned home early. In order to get Amuro Namiko to agree to divorce him sooner, he pretended to be depressed and smoked and drank alone.
"Maizi, why are you drinking so much? Stop drinking! Tell me what's wrong, I'm your wife!"
Namiko Amuro adjusted her facial expression, and stepped forward with a sorrowful look, taking Akai Mugiko's hand.
"So long-winded—"
Akai Mugiko flung Amuro Namiko away. The more outrageous his behavior is now, the greater the chance of him divorcing Amuro Namiko later.
"Your crush, Kotoko, has returned to Japan, hasn't she? Are you thinking of pursuing her? I heard it all last night!" Namiko Amuro covered her face and sobbed, squeezing her eyes to try and shed tears.
"Since you already know, I won't hide it from you anymore. Bozi, let's get a divorce..."
Akai Mugiko lowered her head, clutching her hair, looking pained.
“I know this is very unfair to you, but love is irrational. The moment I saw Qinzi again, I knew that my love for her had never stopped. She is deeply hidden in my heart. For the past three years of my marriage to you, I have been living like a walking corpse. Until I saw her yesterday, I knew that my life was no longer a stagnant pool. With her, my world has a little bit of color. Bozi, you are so kind and so wonderful, please grant me your wish and let go.”
Listening to Akai Mugiko's scumbag remarks, Amuro Namiko wished she could pick up the ashtray on the table and smash it over his head to knock the water out of his brain.
She pinched her palm, reminding herself that a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan.
"But what about me? What am I supposed to do?"
Akai Mugiko turned her head away and said cruelly, "If you get a divorce, you only lose a husband; but if you don't, I lose my freedom to pursue love!"
Ok?
? ?
???
Namiko Amuro's crying stopped for a long time. "You're really shameless. Then don't blame me for using my ultimate move."
"But...but I'm pregnant with your child!"
Namiko Amuro wept bitterly, her hands resting on her lower abdomen, her face filled with sorrow.
Akai Mugiko paused for a moment: "A child?"
Then he suddenly stood up: "My child?!"
Seeing that there seemed to be a chance, Amuro Namiko lowered her head and continued to weep: "Yes, it's our child, the fruit of our love. Three years have passed, and I've finally conceived your child, but now you want to say goodbye to me after I'm pregnant. Mai, you're so cruel, you—"
Before he could finish speaking, Akai Mugi interrupted him, her eyes wide: "I've had my tubal ligation done, how could you have a child? And you're saying it's mine?"
Namiko Amuro's sobs were interrupted by a loud hiccup.
"Vessellation? You—"
Akai Mugiko was blinded by anger. He did intend to get a divorce, but he never expected that Namiko, whom he thought was always devoted to him, would actually make him a father.
In that instant, he felt as if the black wool hat he always wore had turned into the color of hope.
"Well, you're something else! If I hadn't gotten a vasectomy before I got married, I wouldn't have known I was so blinded! Even Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf could pat me on the head!"
"For what?" Namiko Amuro seized on the detail. "For what?"
"Never mind all that, just be honest, whose child is this!"
"Um, is it possible that your tubal ligation wasn't done properly—?"
Amuro Namiko was also a bit flustered. She didn't expect Akai Mugiko to be such a jerk. Getting a vasectomy before marriage? What kind of scumbag is that?
"Impossible! Our federal alcohol manufacturing plant's chief physician, Judy, personally performed the surgery; there's no way there could have been a mistake!"
Akai Mugiko, panting heavily, plopped down on the sofa, feeling dizzy.
"A federal alcohol manufacturing plant? Didn't you say you were unemployed?" Amuro Namiko glared at him, her confidence growing. "Weren't you lying to me too?"
"This—" Realizing that she had been blinded by anger and said something she shouldn't have, Akai Mugiko turned her head away in annoyance.
"Your federal alcohol manufacturing plant is also here for BLACK Distillery's core formula?"
As the heir to a long-established brewery, he set up such a grand scheme, and his usual job as a detective was to conceal his identity. When Amuro Namiko heard about Akai Mugiko's background, she understood his purpose.
"Also?" Akai Mugiko calmed down and leaned back on the sofa. "Do you know who else came here for this reason?"
"That's wonderful." Namiko Amuro gracefully approached the sofa and sat down next to Mugi Akai. "So you actually don't like Kotoko Kurojin, right? I used my connections to get you a job as a security guard at the BLACK brewery, while I infiltrated the brewery's old owner's circle as a detective. It was all so that one day, when the time was right, we could work together to steal the BLACK brewery's core formula. Rumor has it that the formula can bring the dead back to life, but the old owner keeps it firmly in his own hands. This kind of medicine should belong to society and the country. He can't be so selfish!"
"Ha, it should belong to you the most, right? Don't give me these grand principles. You and I both know we're not people who serve the country or the people; we're just doing this for our own selfish reasons." Akai Mugiko rolled her eyes.
"Let's skip the grand principles then. Anyway, how about we cooperate to steal the formula? Nice to meet you?"
Akai Mugiko glanced at Amuro Namiko and nodded: "It's been a pleasure working together. Let's get a divorce."
???
"You're getting a divorce even though we've had a great working relationship?"
"I need to go and win over Hei Jinqinzi. That way we'll be safer, won't we?"
"Hmph, forget about it. Kotoko Kurojin is already going to marry into the Uozuka family."
Namiko Amuro threw a photo in front of him. The photo showed Kotoko Kurojin gazing tenderly at Mifushi Uozuka as they clasped hands.
"How could this be? Have you had any contact with this man named Uozuka? Is he also after the formula?"
Namiko Amuro was quite troubled: "I sent people to investigate. The heir of the Uozuka family is an idiot. His favorite job is being a taxi driver at the airport. He hasn't come back from abroad for so many years because he's afraid of inheriting the family business."
"I have an idea..."
......"
