The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 373 Shadow of Truth (20)

In the small rental house, a small TV was playing a press conference held by Shichijo Masato. On the screen, a former celebrity was making an impassioned defense of his former boss:

"President Laishan is a good man. He is like a family member to us. How could he do such a thing? There is no one in the world who treats us better than President Laishan..."

"What a joke!" An unfinished can of beer hit the wall, splashing some water.

The man watching TV had red eyes and muttered through gritted teeth: "He is a good man? He can be a good man?! That perverted old man...why doesn't he just die?"

He wanted to rush into the screen, pull out the guy who was talking nonsense and beat him up. At this time, another person appeared on the screen.

"Hello everyone, I'm Qiqi, an idol under the Starlight Agency..."

The man sneered disdainfully: "Huh, newcomer? I'm afraid it's just another puppet who helps Lai Shan to speak successfully? Boring."

He couldn't bear it any longer and was about to turn off the TV to pretend that he didn't see anything, but Qiqi on the screen said, "...After entering the agency, I did find out that President Laishan... Laishan successfully violated the artists in the agency..."

The man was stunned. He could never have imagined that the first people to come out and expose Lai Shan’s success would be a few new idols?
"Huh, so naive." The man looked at Qiqi on TV with a complicated expression and said to himself, "You have just entered the firm not long ago, how could you possibly have evidence to overthrow him? No, it should be said that no matter how long he stays in there, he will not leave any evidence. His courage is commendable, but he is stupid..."

As if she had heard his words, Qiqi said, "I know that as a newcomer, my words are not enough to convince everyone, but every word I said is true. If even a newcomer like me can perceive it, then the seniors of Starlight Office must have suffered more cruel experiences than us! So, what I want to say is, seniors, don't let those experiences become trauma in your bodies. Please join me in telling the truth and thoroughly expose what the devil Lai Shan Chenggong has done to us!"

"Revelation..." The man clenched his fists: "Impossible... The power behind him is too huge, impossible..."

Just as he was still struggling in fear, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.

He was startled, then realized that it was the ringing tone of his cell phone.

The man took out his cell phone, looked at it, hesitated, and finally answered the call.

"Takatani?"

"Nakano-senpai!" Takatani Chieko said, "You must have seen it, right? TV."

Nakano said: "Gao Gu, what do you want to say?"

"Please help Qiqi, please help us!" Takatani Chieko said, "Senior Nakano, I was wondering why you, as a celebrity agent, suddenly resigned and even rushed into the president's office and had a big fight before leaving. Now I understand!"

"What do you know!" Nakano shouted, "Do you know what you are doing? You let your artists do such a dangerous thing! Are you still an agent? I never taught you that."

Takaya Chieko also shouted, "I know! This matter is very dangerous, but I also know that this is probably our only chance, the only chance to expose Lai Shanchenggong's true face! So, please help us! This press conference is organized by the Nanajo Foundation, they will not let this matter sink into the sea like before! As long as they can find enough witnesses... Senior, you must be very unwilling, right? Seeing those artists you worked so hard for forced to do that kind of thing... That's why you left, right?"

"Are you serious?" Nakano suddenly laughed and asked, "Are you really going to do this?"

Takatani Chieko said: "This time, they can't suppress it."

"I understand." Nakano simply hung up the phone, exhaled, and looked up at the ceiling.

Then, he picked up the phone again and dialed: "Hello? This is Nakano, you still remember me? You watched TV, right? I am organizing the victims of that perverted old man to report it. Many people have already joined. Do you want to join? Are you scared? Your current situation is not very good, right? Can it be worse? Besides, if we bring down that guy, we can get a compensation that can make your family's situation better..." "Hello? This is Nakano, stop talking nonsense, give me the phone numbers of those artists you used to manage... Stop talking nonsense, hurry up."

"Hello? This is Nakano. Did you succeed in your revenge against Raishan? Did Shichijo Masato contact you before? Isn't that great? Do you still have the contact numbers of those people who were in the same period as you? Contact them together. If you miss this chance, you will have no chance..."

At this moment, on the stage of a bar, in a PR club, in an apartment, a rental house, or even in a brothel...

The ringing of the phone was like a loud bell, waking up those who were having nightmares.

Those who had just woken up from a dream tremblingly dialed other numbers, causing the ringing sound to gradually spread and burn like a prairie fire, becoming unstoppable.

Soon after, the alarm phones rang one after another in police stations across the country.

"Hello, this is the XX Police Station. How can I help you?"

"I want to report the case. I want to report Lai Shanchenggong and..."

At the press conference, Chieko Takaya contacted Masato Shichijo, and through her invitation, more victims mustered up the courage to join the video conference.

"I am XXX, a former artist under Starlight Agency. I want to file a lawsuit against Lai Shan successfully..."

"I am a former member of the XX group. Lai Shanchenggong once molested me and forced me to perform dirty tricks at a drinking party..."

"I want to report the president of WTV. I am..."

There were so many new faces that it was hard to keep up with them all, and the reporters were recording it all frantically.

Looking at the familiar face on the big screen, WTV's director Yamada Takashi broke out in a cold sweat. He really wanted to forcibly close the press conference and kick out those reporters, but it was useless. Instead, it proved that those people were right in disguise. So he could only sit in his seat and strongly refute the victims' remarks in front of the reporters.

"It's done." Nanajo Masato took a deep breath, feeling very excited. He looked at the director provocatively and thought to himself, "This is the purpose of my press conference! No one will believe me if I just say it verbally. Only when the victims see that I really want to do this, will they believe me! I believe that as long as we unite, we can successfully expose Laishan! We did it!"

On the stage of the ghost realm, amid the rhythm of Suzuna's dance and the sound of the Kagura bell, the broken puppets reached out their hands one by one, grabbed the starlight in front of them, then stood up and looked up at the King of Tanuki.

The King of Civet Cats seemed to sense something as well. He angrily shouted at Qian Xiaoyi below: "You bastard! What have you done? Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"

Qian Xiaoyi laughed and said, "This is our goal, idiot."

"Damn it! I won't let you go." The King of Civet Cats looked at him deeply, turned around, and suddenly disappeared.

In the lounge backstage, Lai Shan successfully opened his eyes. At this time, the door of the lounge was being knocked violently.

"President! President, are you okay? Something serious has happened! President?"

Just as the secretary was about to ask someone to break the door open, the door was opened, and Lai Shanchenggong said with a sullen face: "I already know what happened...Call Usa Mi Sakura, I have something to tell her."
