The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 392 Celebration Banquet (3)

Anna had just mentioned this topic when the two chefs had just finished their work. They placed the sliced ​​sashimi and sushi on the table, said "Enjoy your meal", and then pushed the food cart away. Now there was only their table left in the entire store; even the employees were gone.

Qian Xiaoyi took a piece of scallop sushi, dipped it in some wasabi paste and put it into his mouth. To be honest, he was a little tired of these sashimi. He was not Japanese, so he would rather eat something hot. If he had known, he should have ordered a bowl of eel rice or pork chop rice before the two men left.

Qian Xiaoyi scratched his back and asked casually, "So how is the progress of this matter now?"

Others also pricked up their ears.

Nanajo Masato said, "It depends on who you ask. If it's about the people behind Lai Shanchenggong, we have already obtained testimonies from dozens of victims, and the wide range of officials and congressmen involved is also jaw-dropping. The investigation of these people is expected to last for several years. It's still unclear how many people will be caught in the end."

"Who wants to ask those questions~" Suzuna asked anxiously, "I don't know the names of those congressmen and officials. What I want to ask is whether there are any particularly famous victims among those artists? For example, stars and idols who often appear on variety shows."

Nanajo Masato said helplessly, "I cannot reveal the names of the victims because I want to protect their privacy. I can only say that, except for a few artists with family connections and newcomers who have not yet been abused, all the others in Xingguang Agency have been abused. And I heard that Laishan Chenggong prefers men... Ah, sorry, let's not talk about this over dinner."

Everyone was a little surprised. Ling Na sighed and said, "In fact, I really like some of the male artists in Xingguang Agency. When I was a guest on "Horror Night GO", I even fantasized about finding a celebrity boyfriend or something..."

Anna swirled the sake in her glass and said lazily, "Little sister, I advise you not to have illusions about those stars. Although I am not in WTV, I have been in this circle for quite a while. Some guys act polite in public, but they are super assholes in private. There are many such people among stars."

"By the way, how is WTV doing now?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "After this incident, I'm afraid many programs will have big problems, right? After all, many artists from Starlight Agency have appeared on WTV programs, so it will have an impact on future programs, right?"

Nanajo Masato showed a headache and said, "Who said it wasn't? Although TV programs will be recorded a few days or even a week or two in advance to prevent emergencies, this situation is no longer an ordinary emergency. Several popular artists have been summoned by the police to cooperate with them in investigating the suspects on the list. Now the people in the TV station are in a panic. Almost all the programs have called me to complain and asked me to get those artists back. I had no choice but to communicate with the police. As a result, I haven't slept much in the past few days..."

"You've worked so hard~" Qian Xiaoyi clinked beer glasses with Nanajo Masato. He was not used to sake. No matter how expensive it was, he felt it was like fake sake mixed with water and had no taste. So he just drank draft beer.

After a glass of wine, Qian Xiaoyi's face was already a little flushed. He smiled and said, "Although it's hard work, you are now the boss of WTV, right? After all, even President Yamada has failed, so the company needs a new leader."

Nanajo Masato also smiled. "My current position is the managing director. My grandfather is temporarily taking over the position of president, but he is mainly using his status to appease people. When my grandfather was the president, WTV was thriving, so he had a very high prestige within the company. So even if something like this happened, WTV can still operate and will not collapse all of a sudden."

At this point, Nanajo Masato suddenly remembered something, and he asked, "By the way, Xiaoyi, now that the commission has been completed, do you want to join the consortium's board of directors and work with me? If it weren't for you this time, things would never have gone so smoothly." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile, "Hey~ You know this is the case, and you still want to repay kindness with enmity? The water involved is too deep. As the heir of the consortium, you can't feel it because others dare not do anything to you, but if I go in, I'm afraid I will be played to death~"

"Is that so?" Shichijo Masato said with a wry smile, "Sorry, I was too abrupt. What about Horror Night GO? Director Tamura kept asking me where you went."

Qian Xiaoyi waved his hand and said, "I won't participate. I participated in the TV show before because of Miss Tachibana's commission. Now not only has her problem been solved, but I also helped you subvert WTV. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid someone will target me. You haven't completely controlled the consortium yet, right?"

"Eh? You're not participating in Horror Night GO?" Ling Na said exaggeratedly: "This is such a pity. I really like working with Mr. Qian."

Qian Xiaoyi rolled his eyes: "Linna, you are so fake, you have been waiting for me to leave for a long time, right?"

"How could it be~~~" Lingnai drew out the answer, looking aside, it seemed that she was very happy about Qian Xiaoyi's departure.

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head, picked up the bottle and filled his glass, then asked, "What about the old civet cat who came to Shanchenggong?"

King Kong stopped eating and asked, "Isn't it nothing? What that guy did was so disgusting. It would be very frustrating if he could get away with it like this."

Nanajo Masato said, "Don't worry, that guy can't escape this time. He is currently under police control and lives in a padded surveillance room. He is under guard 24 hours a day. He can't even commit suicide. Even if he wants to go out under the pretext of feeling unwell, there are doctors who will come to check on him... But he doesn't dare to go out. This guy has already made that place his new home."

King Kong asked, "You are so happy even though you are locked up? Why?"

Xingba said, "It's simple, because he is afraid of death. There are so many people who want him dead and to bury the evidence. So being locked up there is actually a good thing for him. At least he doesn't have to worry about being 'forced to commit suicide' in an ordinary prison. However, as the original Shadow King of WTV, his life now can be said to be worse than death. He really deserves it."

Qian Xiaoyi was about to take over the topic and discuss the builder of the ghost domain of Lai Shanchenggong, but suddenly he felt his stomach churning. His face changed slightly, and he stood up and said, "I'm going to the toilet."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.
