Chapter 67: Engagement

"Shimomura-kun, are you really sure that the current Chief Cabinet Secretary of the National Police Agency used to live in the same apartment as Akemi Sonoji?"

"Hey, I'm pretty sure that at that time, Keiko Nagao was only the head of the Secretarial Division of the Ministry of Justice, and she was accidentally involved in the murder of Hamada, a member of the Democratic Constitutional Party, and was once regarded as the number one suspect by the Metropolitan Police Department. And I still remember that the person in charge of this case at that time was Lin Xiuyi's police department of the special search department of the Metropolitan Police Department's search section!"

"Oh, is this a coincidence?"

"Even the editor-in-chief, you think it's too much of a coincidence, right! I dare to say that the matter between Akemi Sonoji and Lin Shuichi is not as simple as it seems now, if you believe me, I will definitely dig out the inside story as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, you must know that this matter involves Nagao Keiko, that woman is not a simple guy, if it weren't for her, how could Nobuko Ando still be able to put her hand in the police department after being transferred to the Ministry of Justice......? I think it's best to start the investigation with Akemi Sonoji, and it's best to get evidence that she has a relationship with Nagao Keiko!

"Understood, editor-in-chief!"

……

When Shimomura and Goto left the editor-in-chief's office, they both couldn't help but have a look of excitement on their faces. There's nothing more exciting for a journalist than being able to dig into the truth of things, and this ...... That's the charm of this profession.

……

Just when Nikkei BP reporters Goto and Shimomura were eyeing the scandal between Lin Shuichi and Sonoji Akemi respectively, Lin Shuichi, who was recuperating in the hospital, strolled through the hospital garden under Sakurako's service, chatting as he walked.

"I'm really sorry.,I've been busy with work for a while.,Sakura-no-Sato's affairs really didn't help at all.,By the way,Recently...... Is Sakura-no-Sato's business still going well?"

"Hey, with Mr. Kono's help, everything is slowly getting on the right track, and I'm ...... I can finally focus on preparing for the World Barista Championship!"

"Huh, that's it...... Are you ready for the competition? I'm a little curious, what kind of coffee are you going to make this time? To be honest, I'm really looking forward to your new work!"

"I'm just having a basic direction at the moment......! Please allow me to keep it a secret from you for the time being, I want to save the suspense until you are discharged from the hospital and tell you!"

"Huh...... You're really going to whet people's appetites!"

"Haha...... I promise you'll be the first to taste my new coffee, so it's always okay!"

……

During this time, because the media was paying attention to the matter between Akemi and Lin Xiuyi. Therefore, it is really inconvenient for Akemi to visit the hospital, but ...... In addition to using her mobile phone to contact Lin Xiuyi every day, Akemi will also beg Sakurako to take care of Lin Xiuyi's life in the hospital, and Sakurako is very happy with Akemi's request, after all, ...... In this way, she has another excuse to stay with Lin Xiuyi every day.

……

Perhaps because of the upcoming change of season, the weather in Tokyo is gradually getting cooler after a few heavy rains. And as soon as Li Fan, who had been busy with the affairs of the Rose Palace for a while ago, returned to Tokyo, he suddenly heard the shocking news about his best friend Katya.

"What? you...... You're getting engaged? ...... You're not kidding, are you?"

"Eh, do I look like I'm joking? Lifan, you're the first person in the world besides Mr. Gen to know about my engagement!"

"But...... But didn't you just break up at the last exhibition? Why did I just go to England, you ...... And suddenly you ......"

Actually, so do I, this is something that Mr. Gen and I decided after careful consideration, but ...... I don't have the courage to tell my father yet, I'm a little unsure...... What kind of reaction will he have when he learns the news!"

"Eh, I didn't expect you to have a headache with this question right now, really...... Well, congratulations, Katya!oh...... I'm a little reluctant to give you up!"

I don't know if it's because of the excitement brought by this news, Li Fan suddenly couldn't help but shed tears after saying the words of congratulations, and now even Ekaterina was infected by her, and the two best friends hugged each other like this, and then finally separated after a long time.

"Alright, we're going to get ready for your engagement ceremony! Oh...... I suddenly can't wait to see you in your mountain wedding dress!"

"Uh...... Actually, what I'm looking forward to more now is a bachelorette party, and I'll move out of here to live with Mr. Gen for a while after I get engaged, but ...... To be honest, I'm still quite nervous, right...... If you have time, I'd like to ask you to teach me a few specialties!"

"That's fine, but...... Let me start with a more important question, is your engagement to Mr. Gen going to be held in Tokyo?"

"Huh, this ...... Actually...... I still prefer this side to the United States, at least...... I don't have to bring bodyguards with you all the time when I go out at night! I don't like the kind of life where people follow me all the time, and ...... Most of Mr. Yuan's friends are also here...... But...... I haven't figured out how to tell my dad the news, I'm a little unsure if he's going to like Mr. Gen......

Li Fan saw Katya's apprehensive look, but knew in his heart that this was just Katya's sweet trouble. After a moment of contemplation, she remembered that she still had a bottle of cherished champagne, so she strolled to the wine cabinet and gently opened the door. Then it began to be sorted out.

Ten minutes later, when Li Fan returned to Katya with two glasses of champagne, she was still holding the phone and still brewing emotions in place, seeing Katya's nervous appearance, Li Fan couldn't help but think she was very cute. So she handed the champagne in her hand to the other party, and then said in an encouraging tone:

"Drank it and ...... There's nothing hard to do!"

"Oh, well!"

Katya took the wine glass handed by Li Fan, and then drank all the wine in the glass, and when Katya put down the glass, she suddenly said with some unfinished thoughts:

"I think...... If I could have a glass of vodka, I would probably be more open!"

"Don't make excuses for yourself, Katya, now pick up the phone and tell Mr. Ulyanov the good news!"
