The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 395 Huang Quan Invitation

After the press conference, the incident at the Starlight Agency continued to ferment, with new victims constantly coming forward, like the aftermath of an earthquake, causing new shocks among the people. No one would have thought that Lai Shan Chenggong, the idol godfather, would be so cruel.

Just as the people were voicing their anger and petitioning for this guy to be sentenced to death, another bombshell news came out.

——Laishan Chenggong became physically unwell due to being too emotionally agitated when reading the evidence of his guilt. He lost consciousness when he was rushed to the hospital and rescue efforts failed. The cause of death was acute cerebral infarction and submembranous hemorrhage, commonly known as stroke.

It can be said that the people's request was realized in an indirect way.

For an old man in his seventies, it is normal to die in this way. Even a little excitement could have triggered it. Even the forensic doctor could not find anything strange and could only conclude that it was an accidental death.

"Tsk tsk... isn't this too hasty?" Qian Xiaoyi leaned back in his swivel chair and looked at the news on his laptop, muttering to himself, "It's not even half a month and he's already killed. How afraid are they that this guy will leak the secret?"

Several days have passed since Qian Xiaoyi's last hospitalization, and he has recovered and is not seriously ill.

At this time, Nanajo Masato called.

"Xiao Yi, did you see that?" Qijiao Zhengren said hurriedly, "Laishan is dead!"

"Yeah, the news is already everywhere," Qian Xiaoyi said.

"How could this happen..." Nanajo Masato said, "The cause of death is normal, but dying at this time is too coincidental. Do you think someone did it?"

Qian Xiaoyi yawned: "How should I know?"

"Eh?"

Qian Xiaoyi said helplessly: "I said, I was not at the scene when that guy died. I can't make a conclusion whether he was killed by supernatural means or it was just a coincidence~"

Nanajo Masato couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said, "That's true."

"But it might be a good thing that the guy died," Qian Xiaoyi said.

Nanajo Masato asked, “What do you mean?”

Qian Xiaoyi said: "It means that even the people behind him can't get him out of the crime he committed, or they don't want to help him. This means that we won't be attacked in the short term, which is a blessing in disguise."

Nanajo Masato was stunned: "Can it be understood from this perspective?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Anyway, the current situation has nothing to do with you. This matter has already risen to the level of a game between politicians. On the contrary, since you are standing on the 'great justice' and are even the whistleblower and exposer of the incident, no one can do anything to you now. So instead of caring about those things, you might as well take advantage of this safe stage to quickly integrate the relationship between WTV and the consortium. These things are more important to you."

"Well, I understand." Nanajo Masato exclaimed, "You really see it clearly."

“I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu because I am inside it.” Qian Xiaoyi recited a poem in Chinese, and then said, “People who watch the game often see things more clearly than those who are in it… I know nothing about the company’s management affairs, so I can’t help you with this matter. You can only rely on yourself from now on.”

Nanajo Masato said, "You've helped me enough. Thank you. Next time if I have time, I'll treat you to a meal again. Of course, it won't be seafood." Qian Xiaoyi's face immediately fell, "Don't mention seafood to me!"

Thinking back to the experiences of those two days, Qian Xiaoyi can still smell the stench from the toilet and is still frightened.

"Haha~ Goodbye then. I'll contact you if I have anything." After making a joke, Shichijo Masato hung up the phone.

Qian Xiaoyi leaned back in his chair and surfed the Internet leisurely.

Because I have just finished a large commission and I have just recovered from my illness, there is nothing else to do at the office at the moment.

The commission fee from Tachibana Mio has also been transferred over, as well as the deposit given by Nanajo Masato. Even if most of it is given away, he still has several million yen. Although it is not much, at least he does not have to rush to accept commissions to make money. So after a long time, Qian Xiaoyi finally has some free time again.

Inuyama Heita and Suzuki also ended their third semester's spring break and entered their second year. They had to go to school every day. He was the only one in the office at this time, so it inevitably seemed a little deserted.

After watching a movie on his laptop, Qian Xiaoyi stretched himself, checked the time, and wanted to go out to find something to eat, then he saw today's date on the electronic calendar.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this." Qian Xiaoyi slapped his head.

He called Inuyama Heita and said, "Heitaro, are you having lunch?"

Inuyama Heita said, "I was just about to go to the store to buy some bread."

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Do you remember what I said before? Come to the office in the evening and we'll go together."

"Is it an invitation from Mr. Ashiya?" Inuyama Heita remembered that a week ago, Ashiya Yoshisuke suddenly sent an invitation to the office, inviting them to visit Huangquanya, but Qian Xiaoyi happened to be in the hospital for those two days, so both of them forgot about it and only remembered it today.

Inuyama Heita asked, "Is it today?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Yes, today is the full moon, and Huangquan House is open for business."

"I understand." Inuyama Heita agreed, and then continued to ask: "Um, Brother Otoko, what does Mr. Ashiya want to do? Is it a commission?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "I don't know, but it may not be the case. If it was a commission for me to do, he could have just sent me the client's contact information. There's no need to wait until now for us to come over. Maybe there's something important? Anyway, we'll know tonight. That's it. I'm going to have dinner first."

Afterwards, he asked Xingchang Rang about it, and Xingchang Rang said, "That? It's not a big deal. It happens once a year. With your ability, you don't have to worry at all. Just think of it as going to the amusement park for a spin."

"Amusement park? Play?" Qian Xiaoyi was a little confused, but when he continued asking, Xingchang Rang refused to reveal anything and only said that he would be there in the evening, so Qian Xiaoyi had no choice but to hang up the phone.

"What exactly is it?" Qian Xiaoyi stroked his chin and thought: "But at the moment, it seems that there should be no danger..."

That night, Inuyama Heita came to the office to meet Qian Xiaoyi. They rode motorcycles to Kabukicho in Shinjuku.
