Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 486 Don’t force me
"This...this matter is beyond my authority..."

"I must consult with President Matsudaira."

Clearly feeling that the situation had developed from "entertainment industry scandal", "collusion between government and business" and even "political struggle", and might even threaten the foundations of the two behemoths, B Company and J Company, Iijima Yozo took out his cell phone tremblingly.

"What's going on, President Matsudaira? You didn't answer the phone..."

"Are you still angry about what happened yesterday?"

But after calling several times, Jenny Matsudaira didn't answer and the call went to voicemail.

"Hmph, is J-Corps, known as the 'Idol Empire', just a turtle hiding its head and showing its tail?"

"I don't have time to wait with you. If we let the Burning System take time to cool down the heat, the effect of the subsequent revelations can't be guaranteed. We must strike while the iron is hot!"

"I'll give you another ten minutes. If you still don't give me a clear response, I'll have to do it my own way."

"If the public knew that the paparazzi hired by J Agency had exposed some explosive information about the Burning Department... then it would be really interesting, hahahahaha..."

After drinking the bottle of sake in one gulp, Fukuyama, who was even more drunk and emboldened by the alcohol, began to grin grimly.

"No, we have an economic employment relationship. You paparazzi have no right to make decisions on your own and release what you have investigated!"

Even if there is someone higher up in J Company, the responsibility for causing the conflict between the top management of both sides without authorization is not something that a small agent like Iijima Yozo can bear.

"Hey, the one who has an employment relationship with you is Miyamoto, not me!"

"Miyamoto is no longer with us. As the successor of his legacy, I have only two options left: saving people and seeking revenge."

"The time has come... Your superiors can't make the decision, so I'll do it according to my own ideas."

Fushan decisively took out his mobile phone, opened a social platform, and prepared to post a manuscript in the draft box.

"No, you can't act rashly before contacting President Matsudaira!"

Iijima was no simple character either. He pounced on the man without hesitation and tried to snatch the phone.

"Get out of the way, bitch! It turns out that the one who was burned to death was not your brother..."

"Even if I can't find Miyamoto's whereabouts, I will at least complete his will and expose the true identity of J Company, B Company and Xia Fan!"

With the warm fragrance and soft jade in his arms, Fushan was pressed down below, and there was only a pair of snow-white mountains in front of him, and breathing became more and more difficult...

But Miyamoto's brotherhood made him hold the phone tightly like an iron clamp, not letting the other party take it away.

"Crazy woman, don't force me..."

"Who forced you? You are the one forcing me..."

With the phone as the center, the two rolled back and forth on the few tatami mats that were not very wide, and the close combat gradually became white-hot...

"Dear viewers, here is an urgent news interruption..."

"Yesterday morning, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department arrested a large-scale voyeurism gang in a special operation, seized 1000 voyeurism equipment, servers and other related equipment, and seized more than TB of illegally filmed private photos and videos..."

"After preliminary investigation, the main culprit of the voyeurism ring, Miyamoto Masashi, has formally pleaded guilty, admitting that he had been engaged in illegal filming, infringing on the privacy and portrait rights of others for a long time and profiting from it. The subjects of the filming included hundreds of well-known people from all walks of life..."

"Because the illegal gang has been committing crimes for a long time and involving a wide range of people, the Metropolitan Police Department has officially filed a case and established a special investigation team. The identity of the suspect has been made public and all sectors of society are called on to actively provide clues..."

On the old TV on the wall of the private room, the long and boring TV series suddenly turned into news. "Wait, Miyamoto Masaharu?!"

The two people in the box stopped fighting at the same time and looked towards the TV in surprise...

In the close-up, the man stood in front of the press conference desk, crying softly into the microphone and confessing his guilt...

If it wasn’t Miyamoto Masaharu, whom Fukuyama thought had been “silenced”, then who else could it be?

In addition to Miyamoto, the people who stood in a row beside him and bowed 90 degrees to apologize were the "missing" paparazzi from the same news agency.

"He is still alive... the others are still alive... they are all in the hands of the police..."

Looking at Miyamoto who "came back from the dead" in the news, Fukuyama was a little dazed for a moment.

Logically speaking, the Burning Group had gone through great pains to mobilize the police force, and even if they did not "silence" these people, they would have "secretly detained" them to calm the situation. Why did they instead conduct an open investigation and solicit clues from across the country?
"Humph, the police disclosed the identities of these 'suspects' at the press conference. Your accusation that these paparazzi disappeared and were burned was a silencing act. Isn't that self-defeating?"

After tidying up his messy long hair, Iijima Yozo, with a flushed face, sat down breathlessly and smiled teasingly.

"I understand... This is their purpose..."

"After I exposed the matter, it's impossible to cover up the disappearance of so many people like Miyamoto. I might as well make it public through the police!"

Hearing this remark, Fukuyama suddenly woke up from his dream.

"So what? The police only proved through the press conference that Miyamoto and the others are still alive."

At least after confirming that Miyamoto and the others were still alive and were not in danger of life in the short term, Fukuyama was no longer in a heavy mood and his thoughts became calmer.

The relationship between the Cat Ksitigarbha Foundation, Xia Fan, and the Burning Department is still not explained clearly...

The influx of those huge "donations" has always been of unknown origin...

In front of those netizens who are trying to unravel the case, Miyamoto and others falling into the hands of the police may eventually become self-proof of the "collusion between police and criminals" in the Burning Group.

"It's useless. If the connection between Xia Fan, the Burning Department and the Cat Ksitigarbha Foundation is not made clear, this muddy water will never be cleared up."

Looking through the discussions of netizens, as Fukuyama expected, although the claim that Miyamoto and others had "lost contact" was self-defeating, there are still many netizens who like to unravel the mystery and dig into the past and present of the Cat Jizo Foundation...

They were surprised to find that the Cat Ksitigarbha Foundation was established almost overnight and raised huge charitable donations.

Even the Mao Dizang Hall, which serves as a business place, was suddenly built within a week. Netizens naturally don't believe that there is no trick behind this.

"Wait, the Cat Jizo Foundation has issued a clarification statement?"

At the same time, a keyword whose discussion was rapidly increasing attracted Fukuyama's attention.

That was the official account of "Mao Dizang Tang", which published a "clarification statement on recent public opinion topics" five minutes ago.

One of the contents was a public statement that Xia Fan was listed as one of the co-founders of the foundation because he provided his own land to the foundation to build the Mao Dizang Hall free of charge.

The second content is about the "secret party" that was secretly photographed in the house next to the foundation recently...

In fact, it was Yayoi Tsuki, Xia Fan, Hoshina Hanami, and their company agent who were discussing with representatives of the Cat Jizo Foundation and preparing to organize the "First Cat Jizo Charity Fundraising Concert".

At the same time, the Cat Ksitigarbha Foundation also emphasized that because many activities are still in the planning stage, they were not originally intended to be made public, but because of unexpected malicious slander, they had to clarify in advance.
