Listening to Ryosuke Ezaki's sincere words, Ruby Hoshino's heart was also beating fast.

Jiang Qijun is still the same Jiang Qijun. He observes other people's thoughts meticulously and takes care of the other person's feelings in every detail when they are together.

However, as Ryoma Ezaki said, there must be a reason why he would choose to confess to Ruby Hoshino at this time.

Hoshino Ruby's heartbeat began to accelerate. This matter involved the person she loved the most and the person she cared about the most now, which made her instinctively feel a little uneasy.

"I need you to be mentally prepared for what's next before I tell you."

Ryouma Esaki's tone became extremely serious.

"Because these words will have a huge impact on you, me, and even your late mother."

"But I have to tell you, because this matter is not something I can decide on my own."

After hearing what Ryoma Ezaki said, Ruby Hoshino suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"Ezaki-kun, don't be so serious, it's scary..."

She wanted to lighten the mood.

But Ryoma Ezaki remained unmoved and continued to stare at her sternly.

Ruby Hoshino also gradually realized that what Ryosama Ezaki wanted to say was probably very important, and even his discovery of his mother's true identity was just a prelude.

She played with her fingers nervously, trying to guess in her mind what Ryoma Ezaki was going to say, so as to prepare herself mentally in advance.

But after speculating for a long time, she still had no clue.

It seems that this question can only be answered by Ryoma Esaki himself.

"Ezaki-kun, go ahead and tell me, I'm ready."

Ruby Hoshino clenched her fists on her legs, straightened her back and chest, and looked at Ryoma Ezaki with a determined expression.

But being prepared on the surface doesn't mean you are really ready.

Ryoma Esaki saw this, but he did not give Ruby Hoshino more time to prepare.

Even in his plan, he needed Ruby Hoshino to be shaken to a certain extent.

"Ruby, first of all, I want to apologize to you. When I began to doubt your mother's identity, I secretly investigated you and your mother."

"And during the investigation, I found some information about the case of your mother's death."

"In that case...I found a suspicious point."

Hearing this, Ruby Hoshino's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She felt a warm current begin to flow from her heart to her brain.

"I'll just get straight to the point and tell you the result."

Ryoma Esaki took a deep breath and spoke word by word.

"Ruby, your mother's case is not as simple as being killed by a fan."

"The person who really killed your mother was someone else!"

Although Ruby Hoshino had prepared herself mentally in advance, Ryoma Ezaki's words still had a huge impact on her.

Her eyes widened and trembled, and her half-open mouth seemed to want to say something, but no word came out.

——The real murderer who killed my mother is someone else? How could it be? I saw my mother being stabbed by that bastard with my own eyes...

Hoshino Ruby subconsciously wanted to deny what Ezaki Ryoma said.

But based on her understanding of Ryoshin Ezaki, Ryoshin Ezaki would never joke about such things.

Since he said this, it means he already has decisive evidence.

"…Why do you feel that way?"

After a long silence, Ruby Hoshino spoke with difficulty.

"Ruby, have you ever wondered how the murderer knew about your mother's pregnancy?"

Ryoma Esaki used words as concisely and directly as possible to guide Ruby Hoshino to start thinking.

"How did he know your home address? How could he find your mother at home at such a precise time and bring her to your house..."

Ryoma Ezaki stopped here. There was no need for him to say that word and hurt Ruby Hoshino's heart.

"The police have already investigated the murderer. He is just an ordinary college student. I have also done some research and there is nothing special about him."

"How can an ordinary college student be able to obtain information about the private life of a popular idol? You should know that even those organized and disciplined entertainment reporters have not been able to investigate your existence and where your mother lives."

"There is only one answer. Someone deliberately leaked your mother's information to the murderer."

"This person knew everything about you and your mother. He was the one who secretly instigated the murderer to attack your mother."

"This person is the real murderer who killed your mother!"

Hoshino Ruby felt like her brain was about to boil under the attack of Ryoma Ezaki's continuous words.

The strong emotions that burst out made it impossible for her to sort out the message in Ryosama Esaki's words, and the message in Ryosama Esaki's words made her burst out with even stronger emotions.

Ryoma Ezaki looked at Ruby Hoshino, his eyes full of worry.

She had to get through this moment by herself, and Ryoma Ezaki couldn't provide any help.

Ruby Hoshino thought she had let it go, but the traces of the past are not so easy to disappear.

Recalling the scene where her mother died in front of her, even though Ryoma Ezaki did not have any direct evidence, she had begun to develop a hatred as dark and intense as the abyss for the real murderer mentioned by Ryoma Ezaki.

"...Ezaki-kun, are you telling me this now because you have found clues about the real murderer?"

Hoshino Ruby asked in a trembling voice.

This was not the result she had speculated. Her brain was already occupied by hatred and she was unable to analyze what Ryoma Ezaki said.

It was just her intuition, or expectation.

She hoped that Ryoma Ezaki had already discovered the identity of the murderer and hoped to find the murderer as soon as possible to avenge her mother!

"Yes."

Ryosama Esaki confirmed it without hiding anything.

"Can you tell me?"

"No."

"why?"

The stars in Hoshino Ruby's eyes began to sparkle with black light.

"Ruby, let me ask you, if the murderer was right in front of you right now, what would you do?"

"How to do it? Is that even a question?"

A fanatical emotion overflowed from Hoshino Ruby's eyes.

"Of course it's fair to let him experience what his mother went through, isn't it?"

"That's why I can't tell you."

Ryoushin Esaki's tone hardened.

"I can't just watch you destroy yourself."

"Then why are you telling me this?!"

Hoshino Ruby finally couldn't help but said angrily.

"You told me that there was another murderer who killed my mother, but you didn't tell me who the murderer was. What do you want me to do? Knowing that the person who killed my mother is still at large, do you turn a blind eye and continue living your life?"

"How could you...how could you do this..."

Ruby Hoshino wanted to scold Ryoma Ezaki, but when she looked at Ryoma Ezaki's face, she couldn't say a single harsh word.

Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. They were tears of anger, tears of unwillingness, and tears of sadness for her own powerlessness.

If it weren't for Ryoma Ezaki, she would still be kept in the dark. How could she have the qualifications to reprimand Ryoma Ezaki?

Ryoma Ezaki stepped forward, reached out and held the crying Ruby Hoshino in his arms.

"Ruby, I don't want to see you destroy yourself for revenge, but I won't tell you to forget your hatred and start a new life."

"Like you said, if I didn't want you to recall these old memories, I could have just kept my findings to myself."

"The reason why I chose to confront you is because I want to help you."

"help me?"

Hoshino Ruby raised her head and looked at Ezaki Ryoma with tearful eyes.

"Yes."

Ryoma Esaki said in a firm tone.

"Ruby, go back to your own life. You shouldn't be bound by hatred."

“You should follow your ideals, step onto the stage, become an idol, and shine in front of everyone under the spotlight.”

"Revenge will make you lose your brilliance and your power to become an idol."

"But...but how can I let it go..."

Hoshino Ruby clenched her fists and spoke in an almost hoarse voice.

“You don’t need to let it go.”

But Ryoma Ezaki said.

"You just have to... leave everything to me."

His tone was full of power that could not be denied.

"The dark side of your life is on me."

There was a trace of confusion in Hoshino Ruby's eyes.

"Ezaki-kun, what do you want to say?"

"I will punish the real murderer who killed your mother."

Ryoshin Esaki.

"I promise you, I will make him get the punishment he deserves."

Hoshino Ruby was stunned. She didn't expect that Ezaki Ryoma would be willing to do this for her.

Although she and Ryoma Esaki had already established a strong emotional foundation in less than a month, this kind of revenge involving the death of a loved one was not something she could take on for others casually.

Even if the other party was Ryoma Ezaki, Ruby Hoshino could not entrust her responsibility to him with peace of mind.

The promise was too heavy, and Ruby Hoshino couldn't think of anything to report to Ryoma Ezaki.

"Ezaki-kun, you don't have to do this for me..."

Hoshino Ruby said while biting her lip.

"I'm happy that you're willing to help me, but revenge... I'm sorry, I can't entrust it to you."

"you do not believe me?"

Ryosaki Esaki showed a disappointed expression.

"No, no!"

Hoshino Ruby hurriedly explained.

"It's just...if you do more for me, I really can't repay you."

"No, you do."

At this time, Ryoma Esaki said with great certainty.

His eyes were sharp and his voice was powerful.

"Ruby, make me another deal."

"I will continue to investigate, help you find the real murderer, and make him pay the price he deserves."

"And the reward I want... is you."

"I?"
