Chapter 287 Case Follow-up (2)
"What did he say?"
Baichuan Qiu asked curiously.
Under normal circumstances, Toru Amuro would have just ignored the person and treated him as an ordinary guest, but he actually said to kick the person out, which was not very simple.
What did Morimoto Yu say that could make Amuro Toru so angry?
"Uh, nothing much." Amuro Toru touched his nose, "I just can't stand his condescending attitude."
Bai Chuanqiu chuckled: "Don't worry about me, even if you don't say it, I can guess what he said."
Regarding the past, both the original owner and Morimoto Yu were destined to be unable to reconcile.
The damage the original owner inflicted on Morimoto Yui due to the system in the past was real. No matter how close they had been before, over a decade of torture had long since worn away that intimacy. Furthermore, no one could be certain of the original owner's exact role in the death of his parents, but there was no doubt that Morimoto Yui's hatred for him was understandable.
And what the original owner thought of this brother... Baichuan Qiu didn't know.
All of this ended completely with the death of the original owner.
No matter what the final truth is, he could not reconcile with Morimoto Yu on behalf of the original owner, let alone bow his head and apologize to that person.
Therefore, he doesn't care what Morimoto Yu thinks of him now.
After all, he is not the original owner.
"Shirakawa... doesn't seem angry." Amuro Toru asked in a low voice.
"Why should I be angry?" Shirakawa Qiu casually adjusted his lying position, "Anyway, Amuro will stand on my side, right?"
Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, there's really nothing wrong with what you said."
He would naturally stand on the side of his friends.
Baichuanqiu spread his hands: "Isn't that enough?"
Amuro Toru: “That makes sense.”
The two smiled at each other, and the originally serious atmosphere instantly became casual.
……
A few days later, Shirakawa Akane received a regretful reply from Amuro Toru.
"They acted too quickly, separating the events of Xingyao Entertainment and the geisha house. They even went so far as to shift all the blame onto the deceased Nishizaki Hayabusa and Nishizaki Shaku." Amuro Toru sighed, "This time, even we can't catch them doing anything wrong."
Xingyao Entertainment’s surface report was too good, even he could not do anything about it.
Bai Chuanqiu sneered: "You really make the best use of it."
Even though the person is already dead, the family still wants to squeeze out every last bit of value from him.
As expected of the Nishizaki family, they are cruel and vicious enough.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you this time."
Baichuanqiu: "It's okay. Didn't we anticipate this a long time ago? There will be many opportunities in the future. Sooner or later, we will expose their true colors."
"Ding--"
While the two were talking, the door of the cafe was pushed open.
"Aqiu, long time no see, I missed you so much!"
A gust of wind flew over and hugged Baichuan Qiu, frightening him so much that he pressed the other person's face.
Bai Chuanqiu: "...Lin Zhaozhao, you scared me to death."
I was almost knocked over.
Lin Zhaozhao chuckled, released her hand, and took a step back: "I've missed you so much!"
Baichuan Qiu: "..."
He raised his head and looked at the girl who followed Lin Zhaozhao - Shimizu Hori.
Shimizu Mari's outfit is very different from the cute maid girl she was last time. She is only wearing a white women's suit, which is elegant and dignified. She looks much more comfortable than last time. It seems that she prefers this kind of outfit.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
"Hello, Manager Shirakawa."
"Hello."
Shirakawa Akie looked at Amuro Toru beside him and raised his hand to explain, "This is my former student, Lin Zhaozhao, and this is a girl I knew before, named Shimizu Hori."
"This is Toru Amuro, my shop assistant."
Amuro Toru put on a gentle and harmless smile: "Hello."
"Ow—"
Lin Zhaozhao stared at Amuro Toru's face for a long while, then suddenly burst into a strange laugh. Then her posture became elegant and gentle, and her voice softened a bit: "Amuro-kun? Would you consider changing careers? I have a very lucrative job here-"
Toru Amuro: "Uh-"
The smile on his face froze.
"Really, really, it's perfect for you. You can make money even when you're lying down—"
Lin Zhaozhao even leaned on the counter like a female hooligan, looking inside, confirming the proportion of Amuro Toru's height and leg length, as well as the curve of his waist and hips, and her eyes shining as she scanned Amuro Toru's whole body.
Toru Amuro: "..."
Help--
He looked at Baichuanqiu and signaled with his eyes.
Bai Chuanqiu suppressed his laughter and grabbed Lin Zhaozhao's wrist before she could touch her: "Don't touch it, this is the sign of our store, what if you break it?"
Amuro Toru: “?”
Are you polite?
Lin Zhaozhao withdrew her hand with regret: "What a pity."
Amuro Toru: “???”
Are you polite?
Azusa Enomoto came out from the kitchen: "Huh?"
what happened?
……
A few minutes later, Lin Zhaozhao drank the coffee brewed by the handsome guy himself and sighed sadly: "Alas——"
Bai Chuanqiu sat across from her, calmly picked up the cup in front of him, and took a sip: "He has already clearly rejected you just now, so don't try to hit on my clerk again."
Lin Zhaozhao was extremely disappointed: "If this were released in the entertainment industry, it would definitely be a hot item! And it might even be a hit! You are simply delaying other people's future."
Baichuan Qiu: "..."
The system beeped quietly: "You know what, at least her judgment is not wrong at all. Amuro Toru is indeed a hot man in Nakagawa."
Baichuan Qiu: "..."
Why has this painting style become so weird?
"Ahem—" Baichuan Qiu forced himself to change the subject, "What's the matter with you guys coming here?"
Lin Zhaozhao: "Ah, I almost forgot something important——"
She turned and poked Shimizu Hori beside her, "It's this person. She heard about the incident at the geisha house and is very worried about her friend, so she wanted to check in with you. I thought it would be hard to explain it in a few words over the phone, so I just brought her here!"
"Besides, we haven't been together for a long time, so I came to visit."
"Is that so—" Shirakawa Akane looked at Shimizu Hori and fell silent.
The geisha house incident is still under investigation. Because so many girls were involved, the police haven't publicly announced the details. Shirakawa and the Hase family have also tacitly cooperated in suppressing the victims' information. The Nishizaki family, on the other hand, has also been more subtle. While they have acknowledged some of their mistakes, they've done so with as much ambiguity as possible, deflecting criticism. As a result, many people still don't know what exactly happened at the geisha house.
Looking at Shimizu Hori's expectant eyes, Shirakawa Akane didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, Baichuanqiu's silence is also an answer.
Shimizu Hori, who originally had a look of anticipation on her face, slowly became depressed.
"I think I know."
Her voice grew weak.
"There have been rumors within the company for a long time, and I should have thought of it."
Shimizu Hori's tone is sad and desolate.
"I just didn't expect that they really have no humanity at all..."
Baichuan Qiu said nothing, just looked at the person in front of him quietly.
Lin Zhaozhao was also angry and scared: "Luckily I met Qingshui in time. I didn't expect Xingyao to be so shameless. Damn it, it's such rubbish, it deserves to go bankrupt -"
While Lin Zhaozhao was cursing Xingyao Entertainment, Shimizu Hori's gaze became firm.
She raised her head, looked at the white-haired young man in front of her, and asked softly, "Excuse me, is there anything else I can do for you? I, I heard that the police have been investigating Xingyao Entertainment these days, but in the end they came back with nothing. I... I hope I can do something to help."
She clenched her fists, her eyes filled with unwavering hatred and determination: "I hope they will receive the punishment they deserve!"
Instead of escaping legal sanctions again and again like now.
If we don't stop it, how many more innocent girls will be implicated?
