The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 351 Pre-War Preparations (6)

Qian Xiaoyi never expected this ending. Although he was just watching from the side and did not participate in the conversation, Qian Xiaoyi could imagine how sad Tachibana Mio was feeling at this moment.

I had been searching for someone for more than two years, and I thought he had been killed, but I got the news so suddenly. When I called him, not only was I not thanked, but I was scolded...

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head. Life was unpredictable. He could only take out a tissue from his pocket and hand it to Tachibana Mio.

"Thank you... wuwu..." She kept crying, and Qian Xiaoyi had no choice but to stare at her and hand her the paper.

"I'm sorry for making you laugh at me." After a while, Tachibana Mio wiped her tears and calmed down a little. She said dejectedly, "She actually despised me. Maybe my efforts over the years must be ridiculous in her eyes, right?"

"I don't think there's anything funny about it." Qian Xiaoyi said seriously, "You took the most difficult path for your friend and never gave up. In the end, you succeeded in getting news from your friend. No one has the right to say that this behavior is funny. It's the other person who is wrong, not you."

"Thank you for your comfort..." Tachibana Mio wiped away her tears. Although her voice was still a little hoarse, it was obviously much better.

She exhaled and said, "After she disappeared, I always dreamed of her asking for help. Every day I wondered if she had been praying for me to save her before the accident that day... Now that I know she is fine and is living a good life, I can finally let go of this burden... But I still don't know where she is now."

"In the United States." Qian Xiaoyi said, "The country on the other side of the ocean."

"Eh?" Tachibana Mio looked at Qian Xiaoyi and asked in surprise, "Why do you know that?"

Qian Xiaoyi curled her lips and said, "I saw the area code of the phone number when you dialed it just now. If you pay a little attention, you will know it... But this result is really a bit ironic. We all thought that when the agency announced her retirement, she said she was going to live abroad just to cover up the truth. In the end, we didn't expect it to be true. She really went abroad..."

"But why did she go there?" Tachibana Mio was confused and said, "It's too sudden..."

"I don't know about that." Qian Xiaoyi said, "But something big must have happened to her, otherwise she wouldn't have given up the resources and status she had worked so hard to get, abandoned her idol identity, and lived in seclusion in a strange country under an assumed name. But only she knows what happened, after all, the person who investigated her case has been silenced."

There was a silence between the two, and then Qian Xiaoyi pretended to be indifferent and asked: "So, now that you have found the person you wanted to find, what should you do next? After all, the other party has already said so, there is no need for you to do anything for the other party, right? So do you want to quit?"

"Mr. Qian, what are you talking about?" As if washed by tears, Tachibana Mio's eyes were particularly bright at this moment.

She raised her fist and said, "Don't underestimate me. On the contrary, I can't just leave now. Otherwise, what's the point of my persistence for so long? If I did this just for Sakura before, then after the investigation, I did it for everyone who is in the same situation as her. Not only that, but also Mr. Kashima, and you and Mr. Nanajo who are still standing with me now! If I give up like this, it would be equivalent to denying my efforts for the past two years. That would be the most ridiculous thing, right?"

After hearing the other party's declaration, Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "That's a very nice thing to say. It seems that I underestimated you before, Miss Tachibana. You are not a weak woman, but a respected warrior."

"Warrior or something, what are you talking about?" Tachibana Mio said dissatisfiedly: "How can you describe a girl like that? It's too rude."

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry." Qian Xiaoyi laughed, "I thought the enemy's sudden move would make you depressed, now I feel relieved." Tachibana Mio said firmly, "The more the enemy does this, the more it shows that they are afraid! Otherwise, I have been tracking Sakura's whereabouts for two years, but found nothing. As a result, things are about to get out of hand, but they took the initiative to tell me Sakura's phone number. This shows that we are indeed on the right track! As long as we persevere, I believe we will seek justice for the victims!"

"Well said." Qian Xiaoyi applauded and said, "To celebrate Tachibana Mio's awakening, I suggest that we go to the street over there and buy two roasted sweet potatoes to celebrate. I just heard a truck selling roasted sweet potatoes passing by."

Tachibana Mio said with a strange look on her face: "Does this count as inviting me on a date? And how can you go out and ask a girl to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

Qian Xiaoyi said seriously, "We are celebrating that we have a reliable comrade who is no longer confused. This is pure revolutionary friendship. Please don't get the wrong idea. Besides, I haven't had dinner yet, so I'm hungry. I'm just filling my stomach."

"I think you just want to eat it, right? Hmm... it really seems to smell like roasted sweet potatoes! I feel a little hungry just by smelling it."

"Really? Come on, it's over there! It's my treat."

……

"She still hasn't stopped?" At the headquarters of Starlight Office, an old man in a suit and wearing brown sunglasses sat behind his desk, holding his head and asked irritably.

"President, it's not..." The secretary leaned over and whispered in his ear, "It seems that they are even more active in contacting those retired artists."

"Tsk, what trouble." The old man called the president said angrily, "Didn't you tell her about the woman she was looking for? Didn't Usami ask her to stop? What did you tell her?!"

"President, we have made it very clear." The secretary said embarrassedly, "Usa Miura did exactly what we asked her to do, and the call was recorded."

"Then why doesn't she let go?" The president slammed the table angrily and said, "Does she think I'm doing this because I'm afraid of what she might do? What a stupid little girl. If it weren't for the fact that her father is a congressman and I'm afraid that the public opinion will hurt her by mistake and cause the dissatisfaction of Congressman Tachibana, would I be afraid of a little girl? Stupid! Tsk, forget it, leave her alone."

"Is this really a good idea? Her actions have indeed attracted the attention of many parties." The secretary asked cautiously: "Should we ask Usa Mi Sakura to call and persuade her again?"

The president waved his hands and said, "No, our goodwill has been shown, but Councillor Tachibana has no intention of stopping his daughter. His intention is obvious. It seems that he wants to see us make a fool of ourselves... In that case, we don't have to worry about our reputation. Let that ignorant kid from the Nanajo family and that little girl see the true darkness of society! Let them see... my ability to succeed in coming to the mountains!"

The secretary asked, "Then President, will the new employee training tonight still go on as usual?"

"Of course." Lai Shanchenggong showed excitement in his eyes, licked his lips and said, "This is the tradition of our Starlight Agency. After all, I am the godfather of idols. If I don't guide the newcomers, how can they know how to go on this path? Moreover, these are all outstanding talents selected by me personally..."
