The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 625 Eye of the Storm (36)

However, when Shichijo Masato arrived at the ward and saw the mess on the floor, he was at a loss.

Just when he thought that Grandpa Ashin had finally taken action against his grandfather, the nurse on duty told him the truth.

"What? You said that after my grandpa woke up, he went straight to the company?!" Nanajo Masato was stunned: "Even Grandpa Axin went with him?! Didn't he come to find me?"

Upon hearing the news, Qizhang Zhengren was puzzled. After returning to Qian Xiaoyi's ward, he told the others about the situation and concluded, "Grandpa must still be kept in the dark by Grandpa Axin! No, I must go and tell him the truth!"

The people in the room looked at each other, and everyone could sense that Shichijo Masato was deceiving himself.

"Sure enough... this matter is not that simple." Qian Xiaoyi sighed and said, "Zhengren, we can only help you up to this point."

Nanajo Masato nodded and said firmly: "You have done enough for me. Now it's my turn to fight! I will definitely reveal the true face of Master Axin!"

"No, what I mean is..." Qian Xiaoyi covered his wound, stood up from the bed, and said, "From now on, you'll have to pray for good luck. We have to leave here quickly and can't stay in the enemy's territory any longer. And as for the Fumu couple, go and inform them that it's best to transfer them to another hospital immediately..."

Except for Shichijo Masato, everyone else nodded silently and started packing up.

"Eh? You guys..." Seeing this, Nanajo Masato panicked. He said hesitantly, "My grandfather has woken up. The situation will definitely get better. Believe me..."

"Mr. Nanajo!" Xingchang said to him seriously, "Please wake up. It's very clear. No matter what difficulties or hidden secrets your grandfather has, he is inseparable from Baigui! If you still think like this, it will only harm all of us!"

After hearing such straightforward words, Nanajo Masato was speechless. In fact, he had already understood it in his heart, but he just didn't want to believe this fact. He couldn't accept that his relatives were on the bad side, otherwise his family and his insistence all along were helping the evil!

——This made him feel terrified.

"I...I will go and prove it!" Nanajo Masato took a deep breath and said calmly, "I'll go to the company now! Please wait for my news!"

He left the ward in a hurry.

"…What should we do now?" asked Inuyama Heita.

Qian Xiaoyi's hands were moving quickly, and he had already started to take off his hospital gown and change into clothes. He said, "What else can we do? Let's get out of here! No matter what the result is, we'll see the answer tomorrow."

Everyone left the hospital overnight and informed Fuki Yin. Although he was still in grief, after Fuki Yin learned the whole story, he immediately began to transfer his wife to another place.

This night was very long. After returning home, everyone basically fell asleep immediately and slept till the next day.

When they woke up, the wind outside had become much weaker, with only a light drizzle still falling. It was obvious that this typhoon would soon leave here.

However, although the storm in reality has stopped, another piece of news, in people's eyes, is no less destructive and shocking than this storm!
——The only heir to the Nanajo Group, Nanajo Masato, was kicked out of the group.

This news shocked everyone!

No one knew why such a bizarre thing happened overnight until the chairman of the Nanajo Foundation, Nanajo Hiroshi, the current owner of the foundation, issued a statement. "…It's simply outrageous." Qian Xiaoyi sat on the sofa with a teacup in his hand, watching the news intently with Inuyama Heita.

In the picture, Masato Nanajo was being carried away by the company's security guards while shouting, which looked quite funny.

Shichijo Hiroshi, who is now in his seventies, held a press conference and bowed to apologize for his grandson's actions.

As for why apologize?

In the book, Hiroshi Nanajo listed several pieces of "evidence" of guilt of his own grandson, Masato Nanajo!
The first was poor management. Relying on the fact that he was the grandson of the chairman, he acted arrogantly and recklessly in the consortium, causing the consortium's stock price to plummet.

When Qian Xiaoyi saw this, he had a strange look on his face. The reason for the decline in the consortium's stock price was obviously because Lai Shan's crimes had been exposed. He didn't expect that the blame would be shifted to that guy.

Then he eliminated dissidents in the company, established a one-man show, and attacked other senior executives and shareholders under the guise of an investigation, causing panic among the entire consortium.

Some people also abused their power to harass artists signed by the company and made dirty deals. Some even used the company's funds to lavishly acquire game studios for their own amusement, etc.

There are many more charges. Of course, these charges were not so obvious in what Shichijo Hiroshi said, but any discerning person could see them. Coupled with the media's exaggeration, Shichijo Masato was immediately portrayed as a super prodigal son who returned from studying abroad, was uneducated, engaged in business every day, and almost ruined the consortium.

These media even attributed all the wealth lost by the Shichijo Group due to Lai Shan Chenggong to Shichijo Masato. That is an astronomical figure!
So on the Internet, Shichijo Masato went from being a young hero who exposed the crimes of evildoers to a rat-like existence crossing the street, and all those who did not know the truth despised and laughed at him in their hearts.

In short, the final punishment the consortium gave to Shichijo Masato was to deprive him of his position and, in the name of investigation, freeze all his assets so that he could no longer cause trouble.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was just a small punishment given by Nanajo Hiroshi to his disobedient grandson. After all, no one would believe that Nanajo Hiroshi would deprive the inheritance rights of the only heir to the foundation. It was probably just to scare him and educate the child.

The young master is still the young master after all. How can his bloodline be changed just like that?

Anyway, it will turn into that big shot in the end. The ugly duckling can become a swan because it is a swan, so why should ordinary people like them worry about it?
So, after people gossiped about how licentious and immoral Nanajo Masato was, they stopped paying attention to the matter.

But for those in the know, the meaning of this matter is completely different.

"Mr. Nanajo was actually..." Inuyama Heita was also very confused: "Brother O, why would President Nanajo do this? Mr. Nanajo tried his best to save him, why would he treat his grandson like this?"

Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "The president really had good intentions. He severed his relationship with Masato, just like the cursed witch did to Hiruda... But now Masato is completely safe. I just don't know how thorough the president's actions were."

At this time, a phone call came in. Qian Xiaoyi took a look and saw that it was the person involved, so he picked up the phone.

A panicked voice came from inside: "Xiao Yi! I... I have no place to live!"

"It's so fucking thorough." Qian Xiaoyi said.
