Chapter 13: Speechless Kurosawa Gets Slapped Online
"Ah Zhen's father got into gambling and is now heavily in debt."
“He abandoned my son and me, and I had to shoulder those debts. At that time, Ah Zhen was only one month old…” Gu Gu looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, her eyes filled with a faint sadness and resentment.
"I raised Ah Zhen single-handedly, through all his hardships... I worked six jobs a day... and also had to deal with those debt collectors..."
"Later, by a stroke of luck, I won the lottery. With the funds, I started my own business, which led to the Kurosawa Group we have today..."
"Over the years, we..."
Seeing Gu Gu's fabricated stories, Kurosawa Jin was speechless and felt that this meal was particularly disgusting.
"My goodness, your experience is so legendary!" Zhu Fujingguang blinked his bright cat-like eyes, looking very trusting of Gu Gu's words.
"That guy is such a jerk!" Kenji Hagiwara said indignantly.
Kurosawa Jin: No, you guys actually believed that!
[Morofushi Kagemitsu's approval rating +1]
[Kenji Hagiwara's approval rating +1]
[Matsuda Jinpei's approval rating +1]
[Juga Zero Approval Value +1]
Kurosawa Jin: ...
For the sake of recognition, I'll endure it!
He felt a bit frustrated, but could only vent his frustration on the steak on his plate.
"Ah Zhen," Gu Gu naturally sensed the murderous glint in her baby's eyes, and she wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
"Since I came here, I haven't heard you call me 'Mom' once. Do you dislike your mother?"
Gu Gu took out a handkerchief from her bag, turned her head away to wipe away non-existent tears, and looked heartbroken.
Seeing this, the four high school students at the table turned their condemning gazes to Kurosawa Jin, as if to say, "How could you do this?"
"Kurosawa-nii, don't make Auntie sad," Furuya Rei advised.
“Yeah, Kurosawa-nii,” the others chimed in.
"No, you guys..." Kurosawa Jin looked at Gu Gu with a surprised expression, and from his angle, he could just see Gu Gu's smug expression.
"It's okay, it's okay if you don't call, boohoo—" Gu Gu added fuel to the fire, "After all, he's grown up and no longer capable~"
Four people: Stare—
Kurosawa Jin: Damn
"Mom...Mom..." Kurosawa Jin gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to devour Gu Gu alive.
"Oh, my good son!" Gu Gu was overjoyed and completely satisfied.
[Kenji Hagiwara thought you looked gentle and kind, but he didn't expect you to be so rebellious.]
Kenji Hagiwara's approval rating +1]
[Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei were surprised that you also had a rebellious side.]
[Recognition value +1 for both Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei]
Matsuda Jinpei was very pleased, feeling that you and he were somewhat alike.
Matsuda Jinpei's approval rating +1]
Well, one shouldn't, or at least shouldn't, go against the value of recognition. With that thought, Kurosawa Jin's anger subsided.
"Haha, Ah Zhen is still the same as ever." Gu Gu turned to the four of them and said, "Let me tell you, he used to wet the bed when he was a kid..."
Kurosawa Jin: Damn it, I take back what I just said!
Although this meal earned Kurosawa Jin a lot of approval ratings, he didn't enjoy the food at all!
"Isn't that right, Jin? Am I right?" Gu Gu asked Kurosawa Jin for the umpteenth time.
"Yes, you're right." Kurosawa was stunned.
"Hold on, Kurosawa, it's all for the sake of recognition points!" He repeatedly deceived himself in his mind.
That evening, outside the Kurosawa Group building, Gu Gu bid farewell to everyone, preparing to return abroad.
"Come visit often when you have time! The doors of the Kurosawa Group will always be open to you," Gu Gu promised to the four of them, including Kenji Hagiwara.
The group really liked Gu Gu and expressed their reluctance to part with him, after all, who doesn't like an elder who is generous with money!
"Jin, Mom is leaving. Take care of yourself." After saying that, she suddenly hugged Kurosawa Jin, whether she was acting or showing her deep affection was unclear.
Kurosawa Jin was taken aback but did not resist. In the end, it was thanks to Gu Gu that he was able to raise the approval rating of all four of them, including Hagiwara Kenji, by five points.
After hugging for only a few seconds, Gu Gu let go, turned around, and got into the car.
The vehicle was started, and Tanaka Hitomi drove the car off.
"Goodbye!" Gu Gu stuck her head out of the window and waved goodbye to Kurosawa and the others.
She only sat down obediently when she could no longer see the group of people.
She crossed her arms, her expression turning serious, and asked inexplicably, "How's it going?"
"We haven't seen them yet," Tanaka Hitomi replied, glancing at Gu Gu in the rearview mirror.
"Understood. Remember to protect Kurosawa Jin's safety."
"I've never failed a mission involving Kurosawa, so you can rest assured." Tanaka Hibiki smiled. "But how long do you plan to keep this a secret?"
"Sigh, let's keep it a secret for as long as we can." As if hitting a sore spot, she slumped into her seat in despair.
He'll find out sooner or later.
"Oh dear, we'll see when the time comes." Gu Gu waved his hand. "Things will work themselves out."
"The world consciousness is about to kick someone, I'm leaving now." With that, she vanished as if by magic, as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Seeing that there was no one in the back row, Tanaka Hitomi changed direction and prepared to turn around.

Amuro Tooru and Morofushi Kagemitsu had been out for too long, so they said goodbye to Kurosawa Jin and the other two and left.
"Kurosawa-nii, will you go back to Beika Apartments?" Hagiwara Kenji asked nervously.
Before they knew Kurosawa Jin's identity, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei thought he was just an ordinary recent college graduate.
After learning each other's identities, the two felt that it was unlikely the other would move back to Mihua Apartments.
“Of course, why not go back? I’ve already decided to settle there,” Kurosawa Jin said with a smile.
"Are you reluctant to part with my cooking skills?"
"Cough cough, no way." Matsuda Jinpei turned his head away, refusing to look at Kurosawa Jin.
[Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda suddenly realized that you are different from the stereotypical image of a pampered young master who never lifts a finger.]
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda each received +1 approval rating.
"Kurosawa-kun, are you still going to take the civil service exam?"
"I'll take the exam, of course I'll take it. I ran away from home just to take this exam," Kurosawa Jin said matter-of-factly.
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda have gained a new understanding of your stubborn genes.
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda each received +1 approval rating.
After clearing two points in a row, Kurosawa Jin visibly became happy.
"Can your hand...write?" Matsuda Jinpei's gaze fell on Kurosawa Jin's right hand, which was wrapped in gauze.
“It doesn’t matter. Actually, I’m left-handed.” Kurosawa Jin raised his left hand. “I can use both hands. When it comes to writing, I’m used to using my left hand.”
Kenji Hagiwara is lost in memories and realizes that this was indeed how the other person acted when they were with them.
"Don't worry, I'll get through no matter what," Kurosawa Jin said confidently.
"Young Master." Bai Miao's voice came from behind, carrying two pet carriers.
"I almost forgot about them."
"Meow!" The little dumpling waved its paws in protest.
"I'll treat you guys to an extra meal when we get back," Kurosawa Jin reassured him.
"Young Master, the matter you instructed has been completed." Bai Miao gestured to Hei Zezhen with his eyes.
"Understood." Kurosawa Jin handed the two pet carriers to Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei. "You two take Golden and Dango back first. I have some things to take care of."
"Then, Kurosawa-san, you're busy." The two knew all too well the workload of managing such a huge conglomerate.
"Bai Miao, arrange a car for them."
"Yes, young master."
After Kurosawa Jin walked away, Matsuda Jinpei leaned close to Hagiwara Kenji's ear and said, "Kurosawa-nii looks a bit like... that guy, what's his name again?"
"A domineering young master?"
"right!"
[Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda each receive +1 approval rating]
Kurosawa Jin, who had just stepped into the building lobby: Huh? What happened?
——
Kurosawa Group Security Department.
Emily lay on her own sofa, quietly enjoying her delicious cake.
Now that there were no outsiders present, Bai Miao could finally speak out what she had been holding in: "Young Master! You've suffered so much!"
Bai Miao was wearing a leather jacket covered in sequins, making her glitter so brightly that it hurt Hei Zezhen's eyes.
"It's all Tanaka's fault! How could he just stand by and watch someone kidnap you?"
"Actually, it was my instruction..." Kurosawa Jin defended Tanaka Hitomi, but was angrily interrupted by Bai Miao.
"That despicable old man is incompetent and should have given me the butler position long ago!"
"Heh, you're the one who's incompetent, aren't you?" Tanaka Hitomi's voice came from outside the door.
"For all these years, I've been the butler." He chuckled and glanced at Bai Miao, then snorted, "Your taste is still so bad."
"You! If you're so capable, come and have a match with me." Bai Miao rubbed his hands together, eager to fight.
"What's the point of comparing? In the end, you still lost to me."
"Tanaka, you're going to die!" Bai Miao threw a punch at Tanaka Tongri.
"Here we go again, when will you two ever stop?" Emily couldn't stand it anymore; every time the two met, they would start arguing like they were on fire.
She clutched the snacks and treats tightly and moved away from the battlefield.
"Enough!" Kurosawa Jin's veins bulged as he pinched the space between his eyebrows.
"I need you to report on your missions, not fight," he said, a hint of anger in his voice.
"Yes." Bai Miao had no choice but to stop.
"We found out the real name of Beika's number one assassin. It is indeed Honda Nanako. She was originally a member of the B organization, but she became an assassin after leaving the B organization."
"These are the people she assassinated." Bai Miao handed a stack of documents to Hei Zezhen.
"Entrepreneurs, politicians, rich kids... he's never missed a shot." Kurosawa Jin raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this assassin was quite skilled.
"Six months ago, she received a mission to assassinate a senior member of an organization in Osaka. After the success, she disappeared without a trace until now."
“This is also a very strange point.” Bai Miao looked at Hei Zezhen. “As an assassin, why would she stop accepting missions?”
Something must have happened during that time.
Recalling what the top assassin of Beika had said before, Kurosawa Jin felt that it might be related to another power system in this world—magic.
Speaking of this, Kurosawa Jin thought he could try to increase the approval rating of the Kaito Kid family; he might get some good results.
Sigh, we're a bit early. At this time, Kaito Kuroba was still a little kid, just like Shinichi Kudo.
Kurosawa Jin sighed softly.
