Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 214 Drawing the Sword
In fact, Shiratori Seiya was still hesitant before contacting Arima.

His habit of thinking three or more steps ahead before acting led him to consider another possibility, in addition to threatening Fujikawa Shunpei and crushing him in one fell swoop.

Can we pretend that nothing happened?

But after thinking it over carefully, he still felt that this path was not feasible.

There are three reasons.

First, I've already fallen out with Fujikawa Shunpei. He may seem docile on the surface, but he's actually very vindictive and might cause me a lot of trouble later. In this situation, I'll probably still resort to threatening him.

Secondly, he obtained this incriminating evidence from Xiyin, but he did not know where Xiyin obtained it from. In other words, besides himself and Xiyin, there were others who knew about it. If Fujikawa Shunpei found out and learned from a third party that Xiyin also had this evidence, the consequences would be unimaginable. This is a time bomb. Rather than waiting for it to explode at an unknown time, it is better to detonate it directly.

Thirdly, he made a move against Mio.

Shiratori Seiya could not accept any of these three points.

Especially the second and third points.

Xiyin goes without saying.

As for Mio...

In Shiratori Seiya's view, even if this drama cannot be filmed, as long as Mio's acting skills improve, and LV3 has too many good scripts, he can simply change the TV station and the producer to start filming.

But since he had developed feelings for Mio, he would do it again and again, which meant he had touched the core of his being.

After consulting with a lawyer about whether the evidence he currently possessed could completely destroy the other party, and receiving an affirmative answer, he no longer hesitated.

Once the sword is drawn, there is no way to sheath it until the opponent's head is severed.

After spending two days handing over all the evidence from the hotel to Horikita Naoyuki's lawyer, he promised him a sum of money and then asked him to take Matsumoto Koto to file a police report.

Matsumoto Koto clearly didn't understand what had happened.

She was still immersed in the happiness of making quick money when suddenly a lawyer appeared and said he would take her to the police station to report Fujikawa Shunpei.

After a brief period of dizziness, she struggled to resist.

“Ms. Matsumoto, even if you refuse to go to the police station with me now, I will still report Fujikawa Shunpei. The result will be the same; you will still be investigated. But at that time, you will put yourself in danger…”

In the hotel room, Naoyuki Horikita straightened his tie, looked at the girl huddled at the head of the bed, and pulled a small stack of documents from his briefcase, saying:
"Your health certificate is fake, and you did this without your parents' knowledge, right? If we wait until the police investigate you, then everyone will know what you did..."

“You’re still in school, and you don’t want everyone to know, right? But if you cooperate with me now to report Fujikawa Shunpei, I can guarantee that not only will this matter remain unknown, but you’ll also receive a large sum of compensation from him…”

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Koto lifted her face from between her knees, wiped away her tears, and her eyes revealed fear, confusion, and worry.

Seeing this, Naoyuki Horikita said again:
"Think about it, if your parents find out about this, what will your neighbors say behind your back? What will your classmates at school think of you? Will you still be able to continue studying at your old school? Your family's financial situation isn't that great, is it? Let alone not being able to transfer schools, even if you do transfer, can you guarantee that no one at the new school will know about this?"

"S-Stop talking!"

Matsumoto Koto cried out in surprise. Shiratori Seiya and Horikita Naoyuki stood by the bed, waiting patiently.

After waiting a few minutes, Matsumoto Koto seemed to have struggled internally. She raised her head, biting her lip, and asked:

"Can you really guarantee that Mom and Dad don't know about this?"

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Horikita Naoyuki, asking him a question.

"of course."

After receiving a response, she walked past Horikita and stared at Shiratori Seiya, her tear-filled eyes revealing a questioning look.

The white bird glanced at her; her lip had already been bitten and bled. It then nodded at her expressionlessly.

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Would I need to lie to you?"

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Koto took a deep breath and nodded, enduring the pain in her lips.

"I understand, I will cooperate."

Seeing that she had agreed, Shiratori Seiya patted Horikita on the shoulder and said:
"Attorney Horikita, it's up to you now."

"Okay, Mr. Shiratori, don't worry."

"Yes, I've already mentioned the reporters to you, so don't forget to cooperate."

"do not worry."

"..."

After leaving the hotel, Shiratori Seiya got into the car and followed the two men. Only after seeing them enter the police station did he turn the car around and drive towards the company.

On the way, he glanced at the time.

14:03
In a few hours, once the police receive the report, Horikita Naoyuki will contact the police through his connections to dispatch officers to interrogate Fujikawa Shunpei. While the police are conducting the interrogation, several newspapers will simultaneously publish information about Fujikawa's scandal online.

They then used online trolls to amplify the situation.

In just two days, we can crush him in one fell swoop.

Fujikawa Shunpei wouldn't have any chance to react.

After finishing these thoughts, Shiratori Seiya realized that he had already arrived downstairs at the company.

He stopped the car, took a deep breath, but still felt a tightness in his chest.

He thought about the reason and concluded that it was because he hadn't seen Fujikawa Shunpei go to prison yet.

This matter will not end until Fujikawa Shunpei goes to jail or is arrested.

Even though he had thought through all the procedures and made all the arrangements in his mind, he still couldn't calm down until he saw the actual results. However, he didn't know who to talk to about these things.

Whether in his past life or this one, the absence of his parents from a young age fostered a personality that kept everything bottled up inside him.

Even though he had an aunt to take care of him after his parents passed away in this life, she was still his aunt, and before she adopted him, Shiratori Seiya's heart was already covered with a thick wall.

When she brought Saori back a few days ago, she asked herself if it might be a good opportunity, but the more she knew, the worse it seemed to Shiratori Seiya.

She can't help herself much, and letting those who love her know that she can't help them will only make them anxious.

Should I tell Xiyin?
Perhaps she'd be a good match...

As for Mio and Suzune, he hadn't even considered them.

Feeling somewhat depressed, Shiratori Seiya didn't have the habit of smoking.

He smacked his lips, looked through the windshield and saw a vending machine downstairs at the company. He got out of the car, walked to the vending machine, and prepared to buy a can of Coke.

It's almost December and the weather is already getting a bit cold, but drinking cola on a day like this might just help relieve some of the irritability.

However, when he opened his wallet and searched around, he couldn't find any 100-yen coins.

Shiratori Seiya frowned, just as he was thinking of calling Iguchi Kazue to ask her to bring some change down, when a soft female voice suddenly came from beside him:
"That, that..."

He turned his head and saw Airi Koizumi, who was wearing a down jacket, a baseball cap, and a scarf.

What kind of outfit is this?
Shiratori Seiya was suddenly amused by her outfit, which made her look like a dumpling.

Although it was cold, in Tokyo, even when it snowed, it was rare to see a girl her age dressed like that.

Upon seeing him smile at her, Airi Koizumi's face tensed up. She stammered even more, her pretty face flushed, and her eyes darted away as she said:

"Um, um, um... President, do you need... help?"

Do you have a hundred-yen coin?

"Ok!"

Airi Koizumi nodded vigorously, reached out and unzipped her down jacket, pulling out a small frog wallet from the inside of the jacket.

The girl's heavy outer garment tore open, revealing her slender and graceful figure underneath.

She was really thin, with only a little flesh on her chest. Shiratori Seiya could tell at a glance that she probably didn't eat properly, likely due to a long-term diet of vegetarian ramen.

He couldn't help but feel curious when he recalled that Airi Koizumi had asked for a month's salary in advance when she joined the company.

Where did this child's money go?

"Give……"

"Thank you……"

Seeing the coin handed to him by Airi Koizumi, Shiratori Seiya took it. As he took it, he touched her fingers. He was about to say something when he noticed that she suddenly stiffened as if she had been electrocuted. Then, as if she had triggered some kind of mechanism, she turned around and hurriedly ran into the building like a little rabbit.

However, she was running too fast and, while going up the steps, she missed a step and fell forward to the ground.

Shiratori Seiya was taken aback and was about to step forward when he saw the girl quickly get up and disappear into the building.

"..."

As the other person disappeared from sight, Shiratori Seiya opened his mouth.

Isn't this just too socially awkward?
Shiratori Seiya felt somewhat helpless, but then he thought that this kind of person was perfect as an employee.

Being short of money means being hardworking and reliable.

Social anxiety means being bad at communicating; even if you push her hard, she won't say anything.

She seems quite kind, which means she's not a bad person and wouldn't cause trouble at work.

While thinking about these things, Shiratori Seiya put 100 yen into the vending machine, took out a can of cola, and took a sip.

The icy liquid exploded in my mouth, followed by a surge of sweetness.

After taking two sips, Shiratori Seiya suddenly felt much better.

'Buzzing.'

He was about to walk into the company when his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

Caller ID: Hojo Shione

Looking at the display on his phone screen, Shiratori Seiya was somewhat surprised, but after thinking for a moment, he felt that he should talk to Fujikawa Shunpei about it, so he pressed the answer button.

"Hello? Xiyin."

"Qing Zai..."

Hearing the slightly hoarse voice beside him, Shiratori Seiya frowned, a sense of unease creeping over him. He asked directly:

"Xiyin, are you sick?"

"I am fine."

A hoarse voice usually means either a cold or a sore throat; no one would believe you if you said you were fine.

Just as Shiratori Seiya was about to ask more questions, he heard Shion speak on the phone:

"Kiyoya, you're back? I want to talk to you..."
