Chapter 222 - Police

The staff didn’t expect Tang Rou to ask for the identity of the perfumer after sniffing the perfume. She was stunned for a moment and then replied, “The perfumer for this perfume is a gentleman from Sun Kingdom. He’s very low-key. I only know that he’s good friends with our boss, Mr. Liang Xuan. That’s the reason why our company got the rights to produce the perfume, that’s all I know.”

Sun Kingdom...

A country so far away...

Tang Rou let go of the staff’s hand in disappointment.

She had originally wanted to see this perfumer, but she hadn’t expected that he wasn’t even here.

Tang Rou wasn’t willing to give up. She gritted her teeth and immediately bought two bottles of Green Bamboo.

After returning home, Tang Rou sent one bottle to her master. She kept the other with hers.

After studying it for many days, Tang Rou finally understood the recipe for this perfume. She tried to make it using her own method.

Tang Rou was very confident in her talent. She could determine the composition, dosage, and method of distillation through subtle differences in scent.

In the past, she used this method to analyze all the famous perfumes and then came up with her own experiences and thoughts.

The perfume she made for the first time had a completely different taste than Green Bamboo.

Even though she was a bit disappointed, this was rather common.

Tang Rou improved the formula and tried again.

Failure.

Again.

Failure.

She tried almost a hundred times. Not to mention the scent, she couldn’t even get the gist of it.

Tang Rou was so angry that she smashed all the bottles and equipment on the table to the ground.

Impossible!

After leaving the laboratory, Tang Rou gave her master a call.

“Master, have you smelled that perfume?” Tang Rou asked.

“Yeah, it’s pretty good.” Her master’s old voice rang out.

It wasn’t just good, it was an absolute classic!

Her master said it to take care of Tang Rou’s self-esteem, that’s why she kept it to herself.

“How do one make it? I tried, but I failed,” Tang Rou said.

“It should have been made using an ancient oriental method. I told you, there’s always someone better than you. You shouldn’t be so arrogant,” The master sighed.

“Forget it. It’s pointless asking you.” Tang Rou impatiently hung up the phone.

The master couldn’t finish her sentence before she heard the static noises coming from the other end of the phone.

“Sigh, young lady...” the old lady sat with her back facing the window. She looked at the perfume bottle that was glowing with a faint green light under the sunlight. She opened it and sprayed it again. Then, she took a sniff, and looked rather intoxicated.

“What a creative formula. There are so many spices in the formula, but it can still stabilize the main flavor of the bamboo. He’s not afraid of using the bitter taste of the tea leaves to lengthen the final note. It’s amazing.”

Later, the old lady called her friends back in China. “Ai Rui, I want five bottles of Green Bamboo, thank you.”

“Uncle Xu Da, Uncle Chu Nan, why did you come?” Qin Yu was doing research in the laboratory when she suddenly saw Xu Da and Chu Nan appear in front of her. She was a little surprised.

“I heard from Ah Nan that you’re working on perfumes. We are curious and also we missed you, that’s why we came.” Xu Da smiled.

Qin Yu made tea for the two visitors. After sitting down and exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Da suddenly looked around cautiously, then, with a cautious expression, he said to Qin Yu, “Xiao Yu, tell your uncle the truth. Why are you looking into Ning Cheng?”

Qin Yu frowned. “I saw this person from the database of the members of the Ning family. I felt that something was wrong, so I asked you to check it out. What’s up? Is there something wrong with him?”

Xu Da and Chu Nan looked at each other. After a long while, Chu Nan said with a serious expression, “He’s a police officer.”

“What? !” Qin Yu stood up in surprise and said in disbelief, “He’s a police officer?”

She had many assumptions but being a police officer wasn’t one of them.

Xu Da asked Qin Yu to sit down and continued, “We checked his identity and found that he had a very ordinary past. There was nothing wrong with him at all. But the more normal he seemed, the more unusual he became. If he was just an ordinary person, I don’t think you would have noticed this person, so Uncle Chu and I asked a friend in the police station to check for us.

“In the end, we found Ning Cheng’s information in the information department. When Uncle Xu and I went to retrieve the identity file, we were barred from doing so.”

Chu Nan sighed, “As police officers, we have seen this so many times over the years. How could we not be able to retrieve the identity of an ordinary person? Only the files of a police officer could not be retrieved. Therefore, Ning Chen should have been a police officer, but his identity was erased and he became a spy!”

Qin Yu’s eyes widened, still in shock.

“Although the identity of Ning Cheng can not be transferred out, but we found a key figure.”
