She took out a pack of cigarettes from the car's hand chain, rolled open the window, and looked at Mori Yuesha with questioning eyes.
Mori Yuesha: “It’s okay.”
Snapped.
Flames leaped and blue smoke filled the car.
"Is my car strange?" Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to see through Mori Yuesa's doubts.
The girl next to him nodded: "It seems that the company left by Ms. Hiratsuka's father is still very profitable."
Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled bitterly and said, "It was not bad before, but since grandpa passed away, the family business has been getting worse and worse. Grandma has Alzheimer's disease, and mother has to take care of her every day. She has even less attention to the business."
"In fact, my uncle took such good care of me and my mother. I think there was also an element of robbing the property."
Mori Yuesa looked at the woman next to her puffing smoke and chatting about trivial matters.
"Although we are wealthier than some families, I want my grandmother to live a healthy life and my mother to not have to work so hard. Uncle..."
Hiratsuka was silent.
Mori Yuesa suddenly discovered that there was a comic book on the windshield.
She reached out and took it.
On the front of the comic is a familiar picture.
Dragon Ball.
Mori Tsukisa: ...
"Hey, do you like comics too? Let me tell you, the author of this comic is definitely a muscular man who loves fighting! It's super good, Xiaosha, have you read it? I can lend it to you, I bought two copies of each one!"
No, thanks...
Putting down the comic, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly changed the subject: "I'm sorry about the orphanage."
"This has nothing to do with Ms. Hiratsuka."
Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled bitterly: "After all, it was my uncle who did it. By the way, bring the children to my house. I will rent a big house for them to live in tomorrow. Please let me bear all the expenses until the matter is resolved."
The woman with a cigarette in her mouth looked at Mori Yuesa with watery eyes like a pitiful puppy, with her hands clasped together and a "please, please" look on her face.
Mori Yuesha ruthlessly refused: "I already have an appointment, no need."
Chapter 35 A Day in the Life of Aoi Tojo
"Well, I will contact Haruno when I get back and resolve this matter. Haruno? She is the current head of the Yukinoshita family."
Speaking of Haruno, Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed, "Alas, she can't be considered a responsible person. She can only be said to be a poor woman who bears responsibilities that do not belong to her."
Shizuka Hiratsuka held a cigarette in her mouth, and white smoke escaped from the gaps in the car window. The cold night wind blew in along the path of the smoke.
Mori Yuesha nodded in agreement, it didn't matter whether she said it or not.
"Actually, there's no need to bother Ms. Hiratsuka's friends. We're moving out soon."
Hiratsuka Shizuka said: "Tell her about it. It's also a good opportunity to tell her that she doesn't have to hide such things from me anymore. I have nothing to do with those guys anymore."
Mori Yuesa looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka without saying anything, and what happened next was no longer her business.
"Well, this evening is really 'colorful'."
Shizuka Hiratsuka put out her cigarette in the ashtray and stretched herself. "I feel like drinking. Sigh, what is on the other side of this world?"
…………
"What on earth is there?"
Aoi Tojo's black hair hangs on both sides of her cheeks.
On both sides of the desk were piles of plastic folders containing thick contracts.
She looked up at the cowering employee in front of her and asked softly.
"What exactly does Mr. Jinchuan want to say? Can you tell me?"
Jin Chuankang tremblingly took out a wrinkled handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the sweat off his face.
His sleeves were sticky to the base of his palms - the 'Tojo' in front of him was the only child of Tojo Chensuke.
Ever since she officially joined the company, the title of "Future Queen" has been given to her.
Employees in the company all say that she is a natural leader.
The evil in everyone's heart is exposed in front of Miss Aoi.
Therefore, for Kanekawa Yasushi, who was summoned for questioning after embezzling a large sum of public funds, it was undoubtedly a huge pressure to face Tojo Aoi directly.
He even thought at one point that all this had been discovered long ago.
Tojo Aoi lowered her head and wrote something on a document. The only sounds in the room were the brush strokes and the occasional sound of paper rubbing against each other after turning pages. "Did the other company deposit the money for the last project?"
"No, that's right."
Tojo Aoi raised her head, suddenly smiled, and looked at Kanekawa Yasushi with bright almond-shaped eyes.
His tangled facial features were almost squeezed together.
"Why is Mr. Jinchuan so nervous?"
Kanekawa half-bent over, his face facing his toes: "Hey! It's because Miss Tojo is so imposing!"
Before Jin Chuankang entered the room, the girl patted his shoulder kindly. But after sitting back in his seat, he could not help but get nervous.
Tojo Aoi put down her pen: "I'm just helping. Although Mr. Chenzhu is very busy, he still doesn't want a little girl like me to come to his territory and make trouble. That's why I will ask you to understand the status of the company's operations, so as not to disturb him again because of such a simple matter."
After a reasonable explanation, she suddenly asked, "Mr. Jinchuan is sweating a lot. Don't be so nervous. He didn't eat up the company's property and funds like the last bastard did. You don't need to be so nervous. Right?"
Jinchuan Kang nodded like a sieve.
"Eh? You didn't answer my question."
Tojo Aoi smiled and pouted her face, with her left hand stretched out in front of her eyes, as if her attention was focused on the burgundy nails she had just done: "You, didn't betray the company, did you?"
Jin Chuankang's heart skipped a beat, but he still managed to hold it in, raising his head with an unchanged expression: "Of course! I have worked diligently for the past 20 years and created a lot of profits for the company!"
Tojo Aoi tilted her head and looked carefully at the flaws on her index finger. Because of holding a pen and turning pages for a long time, some of the color on the top of the nail had fallen off.
She just listened to the old man in front of her's righteous words of assurance without saying a word.
"I have never thought of or done anything bad for the company. On the contrary, if I find such a person, Ms. Tojo, I will definitely stick to my original intention and report it to you and Mr. Chensuke!"
【Sensitivity: Few people can lie in front of experts. 】
[When talking, there is a chance that "see through" will be triggered after hearing a lie, and the triggering probability is positively correlated with the level of mystery. ]
Tojo Aoi chuckled, stretched gracefully, and picked up the pen again.
"Ah, I'm really too busy. Mr. Jinchuan, go ahead and do your work. I always believe in you. As a veteran who has been in the company for nearly 30 years, I don't think you would do anything like embezzling property or misappropriating project funds. Right?"
Kaneka Kan spoke smoothly, no longer trembling with fear - it seemed that this girl was not worthy of the reputation, and was far inferior to Mr. Chen Zhu.
"Of course! Of course! Anyway, please don't doubt others casually, that is, me, Kanekawa Kang. Be loyal enough to the company and be humble. Otherwise... your words sound like a threat."
Tojo Aoi narrowed her eyes and looked at Kanekawa Kang for a long while.
"You can go to work now. Well, I believe you."
After Kanekawa Yasushi respectfully left the door, Tojo Aoi coldly put down the silver pen and picked up the phone beside her.
"Check the bank transactions between Jinchuan Kanghe Company and the people who have had contact recently. Focus on doing a detailed accounting review of this year and last year's projects. Yes, that's right. Tell Mr. Chenzhu my suspicions."
After hanging up the phone, Tojo Aoi started humming a song happily, but was interrupted by a light knock on the door.
"Come in."
The young man who got the permission opened the door in a hurry with a tired look on his face and said loudly: "Ms. Tojo, the marketing department has a document that needs your signature!"
Then, without waiting for Tojo Aoi to nod, he quickly walked into the house and closed the door.
"Aoi-sama."
After closing the door, the man reversed his previous behavior and knelt directly in front of Tojo Aoi's desk.
His head hung low, and the document that needed to be signed had already been thrown aside.
Tojo Aoi was used to this and only hummed a faint response from her nose. She continued to read the document in her hand silently until a few minutes later, when she spoke.
"how's it going."
The man's cautious words were filled with humility and enthusiasm: "I have checked it out, sir. It is exactly as you said, it is indeed the "Lie Ghoul". This is a plan that Mr. Chenzhu started ten years ago."
"The condition for holding the ceremony is indeed sacrifice, and Mr. Chenzhu has been arranging people to maintain the ceremony."
"It was not until a year ago, after the mystery was officially revived, that he tried to personally perform the final ceremony and advance to the ritualist. Unfortunately, Mr. Chenzhu was not suitable for that ceremony, and he did not succeed."
"Later, the ritual object was acquired by you."
Chapter 36 A Day in the Life of Aoi Tojo 2
Tojo Aoi raised her eyebrows. Her neat bangs and dark eyes made the kneeling man feel as if he was talking to an anthropomorphic doll. "So... he's a ritualist now?"
The man knelt down and replied, "That's right! I received news the day before yesterday that Mr. Chen Zhu did have traces of a ceremony. According to analysis, the ritual object is similar to stone..."
"No need. It's a waste of energy to spend it on this."
Tojo Aoi yawned again, causing the kneeling man to look worried.
"Who would have thought that the ritual object of the Lie Ghoul is a bottle of water? What can be found out from a broken stone? Let's continue to focus on another thing. Find out the official organizations and those private mysterious associations, and classify them for me according to chaos and order."
"Hi!" the young man answered solemnly, and then he seemed to remember something and said enthusiastically, "Do you need me to provide you with a corpse? After all, you are too young, too high-ranking, and too conspicuous in the company. If it were me, there would be no problem."
Tojo Aoi said with a half-smile: "Since it is a "lie-eating ghost", of course it must feed on the corpses of liars. Don't bother with it, there are too many young bodies in those bars..."
Aoi Tojo licked her lips and her tongue swirled around her teeth deftly.
"But the price seems a bit high. Although I can detect whether the person who has physical contact with me is lying, I can never lie myself. Otherwise, once it is proven that I am lying, it will be a pah-"
Tojo Aoi clapped her hands and spread them out: "With a snap, it broke into seven or eight pieces."
The gloomy Tojo Aoi was very dissatisfied with this ability. At least in the eyes of men, his expression was one of disgust.
The man said cautiously: "The greater the ability, the greater the 'price'. You told me this."
"But I hate eating corpses, I hate physical contact, and I have the ability to see through lies - I hate even more that I can't lie. Isn't this... asking too much of a girl in her prime!"
The man looked at the girl who was acting coquettishly in front of him, but he felt very scared in his heart.
Because apart from the tone of voice, he didn't see any signs of 'coquettishness' in the girl's movements and expressions.
She seemed like a doll, saying those cute words with an expressionless face, her eyes staring at herself blankly. A chill ran through her body from head to toe, and every pore stood up.
He quickly lowered his head, stared at his fingers, and began to count the hairs on his hands with all his strength - this was his experience, to prevent himself from being 'distorted', the first thing to do was not to look directly at those distorted existences.
"You've already gained a lot." The man tried to comfort her gently, "Besides, be careful not to lie or be discovered. Such a powerful ability is only the "origin". When it comes to the "super-order" stage..."
"The second ability must be extremely powerful!"
The man tried his best to lower his voice, but Tojo Aoi could still hear his enthusiasm and pursuit for mysterious power in it.
Like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, he has mixed emotions of good and evil towards himself.
Tojo Aoi ignored the man's enthusiasm. She looked down at her subordinates and said, "So, how can I reach the second stage? You know very well that although the "origin" is the first stage to enter the extraordinary realm, most people stay at this stage. "
"Only large organizations like the government can cultivate Super Order. And I am Chaos. If I act recklessly, I will be exposed soon."
She fiddled with her nails and pressed two fingers against the corners of her mouth, shaping it into a smile: "We are villains."
"But Chaos is more powerful... more—"
"No, I don't want to be arrested as a cultist." Tojo Aoi concluded: "The more powerful it is, the heavier the price will be. Let's leave it at that for now."
"However, if Mr. Chenzhu makes any move..."
"Yes! I will inform you as soon as possible!"
