The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 385 Shadow of Truth (32)

"Big news! Big news! Headquarters, did you hear that? Hurry up and have someone check where that apartment is and who the owners are! This is the headline among the headlines!"

"Laishan Chenggong actually did such a thing. It's unforgivable!"

"Nanajo-san! Can Miss Usami answer a few questions?"

"Wait? Two years ago? I remember she wasn't even an adult when she announced her retirement, right? Doesn't that mean..."

Everyone was yelling and screaming like crazy and were very emotional, but there was one person in the audience who did not participate. That was WTV's director, Takashi Yamada.

Compared to the other people's hot-blooded rush, his situation was the opposite. He only felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was trembling. Because he was the one who brought the American official in, and this involved several senior officials, so he couldn't let her continue.

"No... I have to stop this press conference..." He stood up with trembling legs and chattering teeth. He pushed away the reporters who wanted to interview him and shouted fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about? The press conference ends here, no more filming! Everyone get out! Get out of here! Guards, guards!"

He began calling guards to stop reporters from filming, and the venue fell into chaos.

Nanajo Masato looked at the nominal president of WTV with amusement. Everyone could see that he was already in a state of panic. What was the point of driving the reporters out and not allowing them to film at this time?
However, the guards still faithfully carried out the director's orders, roughly turning off all the cameras on the scene and driving them out. The reporters were not at all intimidated and had a direct conflict with the guards. Some even stretched their heads forward and begged them to hit them, because if a violent conflict broke out, it would be big news again!
Just when the scene was in chaos, Nanajo Masato looked to the corner and saw Suzuna's younger brother Takuya, who was wearing a baseball cap. He saw Nanajo Masato's inquiring eyes and nodded to him, indicating that the hidden camera was working OK and the scene was still being broadcast live through the Internet.

Usa Mi Sakura was also on the screen, telling the entire network about her experience, so even if the power to the big screen here was cut off, the press conference would still go on.

"…The artist contracts at Starlight Agency are extremely cruel. It's no exaggeration to say that they are like selling one's body. The competition within the agency is very fierce. In order to get the resources for performances, we have to accept the deal proposed by Lai Shan Chenggong. He is a demon. Once you accept the deal, your life will no longer be your own."

"The place of transaction is at the top of this building. Because of the special nature of WTV, even if someone photographed some officials and politicians hanging out here, it would not arouse suspicion. Everyone would only think that they were negotiating business with WTV or being interviewed for a show. They would never think that such things happen almost every night in that room on the top floor. There are also several secret passages in the building that allow those 'distinguished guests' to enter or leave the building without anyone noticing."

"In order to satisfy those 'clients', we had to accept some particularly disgusting ways of playing. This torture made many people in the firm exhausted. They wanted to quit, but they couldn't pay the firm's sky-high penalty... It was the same for me. Every day was like hell. I wanted to escape but there was no way. So some of us united privately and recorded the names of every client we received, hoping to have a chance to expose this matter later."

"Among them, the American official who supported me was the most disgusting. He made me want to vomit. Every time I was tortured by him..."

In the video, she turned around and lifted up her shirt, revealing all kinds of scars on her back, both new and old. It was outrageous to look at. Tachibana Mio clenched her fists and her teeth were almost broken.

"I really couldn't stand it during that time. He even wanted me to go to the United States with him..." Usa Miura continued, "I didn't want to at first. Lai Shan Chenggong and his men locked me in that room in order to please that person. But before my phone was confiscated, I sent a message to my friend, Tachibana Mio, for help, and then she hired a detective to find my location." "The detective found my diary in my apartment and learned about the list from it. After that... he was killed in his own office. The murderer is still at large."

"Everyone is surprised, right? I was too. They knew that I had recorded the list, so it was even more impossible for them to let me go. When they put the newspaper in front of me, I was very scared. In order to protect myself, I could only agree to come here as that man's mistress. After that, I also brought my parents here. They still don't know about me. They still think that I am still working for the company and coming to the United States is just a normal job transfer..."

Watching Usa Mi Sakura telling her tragic story, Nanajo Masato frowned and said, "Too good to hear such a thing happen...are these guys still human? This is unforgivable!"

He turned around, looked at Tachibana Mio, and said, "Thank you, Miss Tachibana. If you hadn't convinced me, we might have let Raiyama Chenggong's most evil crime go unpunished. It must be you who persuaded Miss Usami and made her realize her mistake, right?"

Tachibana Mio shook her head: "I just did what I was supposed to do, it's not a big deal."

"No, it's already amazing." Nanajo Masato said, "I was a little worried when I saw you suddenly disappear, so I immediately notified Ms. Suzuki... By the way, you didn't encounter any strange things, did you? For example, did you meet Xiao Yi and the others?"

"Mr. Qian and the others? That's not the case." Tachibana Mio covered her chest and said with lingering fear: "But I did encounter some things. If it weren't for Xiao, I wouldn't be able to stand here properly now. My legs are weak just thinking about it... Thank you, Xiao."

Suzuki adjusted his glasses coolly and said, "It's just a job assigned to me by Brother B."

Having said that, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

As for why she was able to find Tachibana Mio in time, the reason was actually very simple. Before the operation was called, Qian Xiaoyi had already given each person a signal transmitter, and then handed the tracking device to Suzuki.

As for Nanajo Masato and Tachibana Mio, in order to prevent Laishan from becoming desperate and using a strategy to drag them into the ghost realm as hostages, Qian Xiaoyi let the two of them monitor each other. If one of them disappeared at the press conference, the other would contact the other. If they still could not be contacted, the one who was still at the scene would immediately notify Suzuki.

Suzuki would use the tracking device to find the location of the missing person. With this, she found the secret passage that Tachibana Mio entered, reached the top floor, and rescued her.

"Lashan succeeded, now you are finished!" Nanajo Masato looked towards the backstage and thought to himself: "I'll leave the final blow to you, Xiaoyi!"
