Beichuan Lin had completely leveled her emotions.

No matter what her son said next, it couldn't cause even the slightest ripple in her mood.

With that mindset, Beichuan Si's expression remained unchanged as he reached out to Gangye Yoshiko, "This is Gangye Yoshiko, you two have met before, so there's no need for introductions."

Hearing Beichuan Si's introduction, Beichuan Lin didn't hesitate to reach out her hand for a handshake with Gangye Yoshiko, smiling as she said, "I still want to say, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Gangye."

"I'm pleased to meet you too, Ms. Beichuan," Gangye Yoshiko replied with a smile.

The atmosphere between the two was harmonious, and it seemed they could finally enter a normal phase of introducing friends.

Even Beichuan Lin silently breathed a sigh of relief.

That's how it should be.

How could Beichuan Si possibly have so many divine friends?

A completely ordinary good friend like Gangye Yoshiko was exactly who he should be associating with at his age.

"She is a police officer at the Metropolitan Police Department, and she's currently holding the position of Police Chief in the Criminal Investigation Division," Beichuan Si added from the side.

"Hmm..." Beichuan Lin's smile didn't fade as she turned to Beichuan Si and confirmed, "The Criminal Investigation Division's Police Chief? From the Police Headquarters?"

"Yes," Beichuan Si nodded expressionlessly.

His tone was as calm as if he were saying, "This is my childhood friend."

"Really now... there's no need for jokes at this time, Si," Beichuan Lin chuckled.

Seeing Beichuan Lin's expression, Beichuan Si shook his head and earnestly replied, "I'm not joking."

"Stop joking, or I'll get angry," Beichuan Lin said, still smiling.

"..." Beichuan Si didn't say anything further, just looked intently at Beichuan Lin.

After a moment.

Beichuan Lin asked,

"You're really not joking?"

Beichuan Si nodded.

Thud...

Beichuan Lin felt weak in the knees.

She felt a dizziness and a feeling of suffocation in her brain.

Criminal Investigation Division... Police Chief? And within the system?

So young?!

What kind of deity was this?

Beichuan Lin could feel her face twitching.

If anything, Gangye Yoshiko's status was even more terrifying than that of Nakajima Michika.

After all, Nakajima Michika was just a singer, and even though she was popular among the masses, she was still just a singer.

But Gangye Yoshiko was different.

Her status was that of a young high-ranking official! And the kind that could easily clamp down on the entire Beichuan family!

This...

This relationship must be maintained well!

Beichuan Lin barely managed to stabilize her emotions and looked up.

She saw Gangye Yoshiko take out a cigarette case, intending to tap out a lady's cigarette.

Then—

Snap!

Her son, emotionless, reached out and snatched the cigarette case from Gangye Yoshiko's hand.

??????

What are you doing, son? What are you doing?!

As Beichuan Lin's head spun and her legs went soft, she intended to speak but heard Beichuan Si's cold voice instead,

"Liangzi, I've told you before not to smoke, right?"

"I...this would be the last time! I haven't smoked these past few days! Beichuan, don't be so stingy!"

Gangye Yoshiko looked...

Somehow aggrieved?

What was this about?

Beichuan Lin was trembling.

Was the world off-kilter now, or was it her?

In the silence of Beichuan Lin, Gangye Yoshiko and Beichuan Si argued for a long time, and Gangye Yoshiko finally got her pack of cigarettes back.

But even with the cigarette case back in hand, Gangye Yoshiko didn't dare smoke in front of Beichuan Si; instead, she could only take out some chewing gum and chew a couple of pieces.

This time, Beichuan Lin didn't ask Beichuan Si how he knew Gangye Yoshiko, as she was already dry-mouthed and could only 'hehehehe' and laugh foolishly.

Beichuan Lin couldn't fathom how Beichuan Si had gotten to know so many divine friends.

What was she doing during her high school days?

Nothing but posing as an artsy girl to attract a few boys and have a few romances.

The most surprising thing she ever did was to rank in the top ten of her grade.

But looking at Beichuan Si?

The times have changed, for adults.

They've truly changed.

As Beichuan Lin pondered, the plump-faced college girl who had been quiet suddenly spoke up:

"Actually, Auntie, you don't have to worry too much. People like Sister Liangzi are rare; the few of us don't have such incredible identities."

"Is... is that so," Beichuan Lin laughed weakly.

Indeed, not everyone could be like Gangye Yoshiko. This college girl seemed very genuine.

Beichuan Si was still discussing with Gangye Yoshiko about smoking cessation. Beichuan Lin managed to compose herself and turned her attention to the plump-faced college girl, politely asking, "May I know who you are...?"

"Ah... I haven't introduced myself yet... cough cough, here's my business card, Auntie Beichuan, please." The college girl seemed to awaken from a dream, taking out a business card from her bosom and handing it to Beichuan Lin.

The girl's innocent and natural demeanor eased Beichuan Lin's mood quite a bit.

At least among Beichuan Si's list of friends, there were also fresh college students just entering society...

That was enough.

Surely not every person could be a divine friend, right?

With this thought, Beichuan Lin scanned the name on the business card.

Beichuan Divine Society... Great Ming Guangde Mage, Qiuxiao Yunai...?
