Although he is younger than me and his face is still very childish, he makes me feel that he is very reliable and even has a sense of maturity like an adult.
Chunjun, you are really a wonderful person.
But it was great to meet him and get his help.
All in all, God has not yet abandoned me for the last time... she thought to herself.
When she saw Jun Mogami's back as he walked to the stairs, Sagihara Shion couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart.
However, at this moment, her smile froze, and the suitcase in her hand fell quietly to the ground with a loud bang.
In the shadows below the stairs, a tall and thin figure clearly appeared.
It was already evening, and the man's face was half light and half dark, but she was so familiar with this face that she would never mistake it.
With a face full of wrinkles and gray temples, he has aged a lot in the past two years, but his gaze is still as intimidating and gloomy as ever, making people feel breathless.
That person was staring at him, and appeared in front of him again like a nightmare that he could not get rid of.
Her blood seemed to freeze as she stared at him blankly.
Fear filled her mind, along with anger and resentment.
Damn it… Damn it… It would only take one more minute, one more minute, why… why couldn’t you just give us one more minute! Why did you have to run to me!
She cursed in her heart and cried in her heart.
Compared to senior Sagihara who reacted violently, Mogami Jun was much calmer.
Or rather, this was one of the situations he had expected.
After a moment of astonishment, he quickly regained his composure and confirmed the environment.
That’s right, just like last time, this guy came here alone, and he looked like a stray dog.
"Please don't block my way, sir." He continued to carry the box down the stairs, as if the other person was just a passerby.
Because of his words, the middle-aged man's gaze finally turned away from his daughter and fell on him, followed by a cold look.
"You kid...you again?"
The shadow in his sight was like a sharp blade, scratching Jun Mogami's face and causing pain. Even though he knew that the other party was nothing at the moment, he still felt a little scared at that moment.
Sagihara Masao is indeed a born villain.
"Thank you for recognizing me, but I don't need to recognize you." Mogami Jun quickly calmed down and replied coldly, "Please move aside, we are busy."
"Do you want to kidnap my daughter, boy? Are you worthy?" Of course, Sagihara Masao would not give way, but said coldly to Mogami Jun.
Then he looked up at his daughter on the steps and said, "Shiyin, follow me."
"No... No!" Sagihara Shion immediately shouted, "I won't go with you!"
"Did you hear that, Sagihara?" Mogami Jun said coldly, "She doesn't want to pay attention to you, so don't get in the way anymore."
"I'm her father, do you have any right to interfere? Get out of here!" Sagihara Masao took a step forward.
"You are just a father who has lost custody of his children. You are no different from a bug. Can't you just put yourself in the right place? Mr. Sagihara." Mogami Jun put down his suitcase and walked towards him without hesitation.
“What…?!” Sagihara Masao widened his eyes.
"According to Article 820 of the Civil Code, 'Those who exercise parental authority have the right and obligation to supervise and educate their children for the benefit of the children'; but this is determined in the case of 'benefiting the children'. If the fact is that the parents are not conducive to the growth or even personal safety of the children, then they have violated their obligations and can be deprived of guardianship depending on the circumstances." Mogami Jun raised his head and looked at Sagihara Masao without flinching, and spoke incessantly, "Similarly, according to Article 834 of the Civil Code, 'If the father or mother abuses or abandons the child, or has any other behavior that significantly infringes on the interests of the child, then the child or the prosecutor can file a complaint with the Family Court to remove the parent's guardianship'... Did you hear that clearly?"
This is certainly not something he made up, but a provision actually written in the Japanese Civil Code, and it is actually implemented in this way - of course, the process is much more complicated, and depriving parents of custody is not as easy as it seems.
But for Jun Mogami, this was enough.
As a bureaucrat's father, Mogami Jun's greatest hope is for him to continue with bureaucratic work. If one wants to become a senior bureaucrat, entering the University of Tokyo is the most basic step, especially the Faculty of Law of the University of Tokyo. All the recent vice ministers of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have come from there.
Therefore, Mogami Kiyoshi required his son to aim to be admitted to the Faculty of Law of the University of Tokyo, which required him to start learning the necessary legal knowledge at an early age. Thanks to Mogami Jun's strong learning ability, otherwise he would have been troubled by his rote learning education.
He certainly didn't expect that he could convince Sagihara Masao to mend his ways by just reciting legal provisions. His main purpose was to appear powerful in front of the other party so that he wouldn't look down on him because of his youth.
"What do you want to say, kid?" Sagihara Masao had a look of anger on his face, but his momentum had faded a little.
That’s right, he just finished serving time in jail, so he should be afraid of the iron fist of the law.
"What I want to say is very simple, Mr. Sagihara, don't act like 'I am your father anyway, so you have to obey me no matter what I do.'" Mogami Jun sneered, "Perhaps you don't understand the law, so I will condense it into one sentence: People who are not qualified to be parents have no right to tell their children what to do even if they become parents!"
Then, he continued to mock the other party, "You said you are a father, so what have you done to be a father? All you have given your children are the most negative and disgusting things. You might as well die early! You are obviously a bug, so you should know yourself, okay? You have been in jail once and you are worse than a dog. Haven't you woken up and faced the reality yet? Mr. Saginahara stray dog?"
"Bastard... kid!!" As Mogami Jun continued to insult him, Sagihara Masao's face became more and more uglier. Finally, he raised his hand and almost wanted to attack.
However, when his hand was in mid-air, he stopped again, as if he had come to his senses.
Pity.
Mogami Jun sighed secretly in his heart.
He deliberately provoked the other party with the purpose of goading him into taking action. As long as he took action first, he could fight back violently, and that would be a fight. Then the alarmed residents and landlord nearby would call the police, and they would then meet the police together.
He was still a minor and was given some preferential treatment under the law. In addition, his family had social status, so he would not be punished even if he was taken to the police station. But it was different for Sagihara Masao. He had a criminal record and had just been released from prison. In this case, if he fought directly, he would definitely be given special attention by the police.
This is why he dared to come out in the daytime to meet the other party. He dared to use himself as a bet to kill the other party.
It's a pity that this plan failed. After all, Sagihara Masao still has some brains. He can control himself at this time. He is not a completely confused person...
But it doesn’t matter. Since Sagihara Masao is so restrained, it means that he is really nothing and there is nothing to be afraid of.
"What? Are you scared now after all that bluffing?" Mogami Jun sneered and continued to mock him, "Mr. Lost Dog, I am really disappointed."
“Shion!” Sagihara Masao simply ignored Mogami Jun. He raised his head and looked at Sagihara Shion. “Is this how you treat your father?”
silence.
Still silent.
"Enough... Enough... Enough!" After a long time, Sagihara Shion finally yelled out in a tearful tone, "Dad, this is the first time I've called you that in five years, and I hope it's the last time I call you that in my life... I only have one request - can you say goodbye to my life forever?!"
26. Filial Son
"I only have one request - can you please say goodbye to my life forever?!"
Inside the dilapidated inn, Sagihara Shion shouted at her father at the bottom of the stairs at a volume she had never heard before.
This is her heartfelt voice.
Then, tears welled up in her eyes.
"I worshipped you, just like all children worship their fathers. Although you didn't have much money at that time, in my eyes you were a kind and amiable father, a father who was willing to protect his children from wind and rain. With such a father, why should I ask for too much? It's enough for me to have you like this...but you...but you...what did you do later!" She shouted angrily, "You gave me a home, and then broke it in front of me. You tore my family apart and forced my mother to death! You ruined your own life, and your mother's, and almost ruined mine! Mom...Mom...When you were in prison, did you suddenly wake up at night? Were you afraid of her ghost? Did you? Did you! If not, then you are a scum of the world!!"
Perhaps she thought of her deceased mother, and Sagihara Shion cried even harder. "Do you know how many times I've been looked down upon because of you? My life has been shattered because of you. I've used up all my strength to pick up the pieces I could. I want to use the remaining pieces to rebuild a future. I've tried my best... I've exhausted all my efforts, just to pursue my dreams like an ordinary person. I often do it for myself, why is even such a dream so extravagant? I don't know the answer but I can only persist, because I know that if I don't persist, I will have nothing... Why? Why are you still bothering me at this time? Just dealing with my own life has made me breathless, why are you still looking for me? Did I allow you to come to me!? I obviously don't want to see you for even a second!"
Sagihara Shion, who was in a rage, almost spoke in a roar. Her tone was harsh and carried a heart-wrenching pain. Even Mogami Jun couldn't help but feel sympathy when he heard it.
After venting violently, Sagihara Shion's emotions finally calmed down a little. Although her tears were still flowing, the volume had finally become lighter.
She raised her head and looked at her father with bloodshot eyes.
"I call you father now, not because I respect you, but because I want to make our final farewell more decent. If you are still even slightly touched by this word, please fulfill your final obligation and stay as far away from me as possible. Don't get close to me again. I don't want to have anything to do with you!"
Masao Sagihara kept looking at his daughter in astonishment. He never thought that his daughter, who was so introverted and well-behaved in the past, would say such sharp words.
His face was livid and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Shiyin... I'm sorry." Finally, he sighed. "I'm sorry to you and your mother. I have reflected a lot over the years... I did commit an unforgivable sin, and I know I was wrong. I just want to make up for my mistakes now, even at any cost, to give you some due compensation. You have had a hard time over the years, and Dad only wants to take good care of you in the future so that you don't have to suffer any more. Believe me, I will never do anything bad again, and the rest of my life will only be spent making up for my own mistakes and taking care of you. Believe me! Shiyin, forgive Dad!"
As he spoke, he opened his arms towards Sagihara Shion.
However, although he said it very seriously, Jun Mogami didn't believe it at all.
Although he appeared to be very sad, one could only see embarrassment and panic on his body, but no guilt, not even a little bit.
That kind of genuine guilt and pain can allow bystanders to resonate spiritually, but it is not just something of this degree.
Besides, it's already this time, what's the point of making amends? Not having any contact with each other is the best way to make amends.
"Senior..." Mogami Jun wanted to remind Sagihara Shion. He was afraid that Sagihara senior would be confused because of the natural father-daughter affection.
"No, I don't forgive! I will never forgive! Can the souls in heaven be wiped out with just a few light words? From the moment mom died, you will never be forgiven by me!" Fortunately, Sagihara Shion was more sober than Mogami Jun imagined, and she directly rejected her father before he could remind her.
She bit her lip tightly, trembling all over, then raised her hand and pointed at her father, "If you want to forgive me, you can do so after you see mother! Now I just want you to disappear from my life!"
Well said! Mogami Jun couldn't help but applaud in his heart.
Eight Thousand Four Thousand Nine Thousand Three
It seems that Senior Sagihara has finally overcome the fear and attachment in her heart and made the most thorough break with her father - this is also a farewell to the shadow of her past.
At least at this moment, she was fearless.
At this time, Sagihara Masao finally realized that his daughter's mind was irreversible.
He lowered his eyes and looked gloomily at the steps under his daughter's feet.
"Well, if that's the case, I can't force you. Just live your life from now on. I won't bother you. But..." He suddenly changed the subject, "Before that, you have to return my money to me. Only then can we settle the account, right?"
It turns out that what you said just now was just a lie to me. What about making up for it and feeling guilty... they were all lies to me.
The anger in Sagihara Shion's heart rekindled.
Yes, that's the kind of person he is. How could he not be lying to me?!
"The money is gone! I donated it all anonymously!" she replied coldly.
"What? Impossible!" Sagihara Masao widened his eyes, totally disbelieving his daughter's words, "You are lying to me!"
Masao Sagihara simply refused to believe it. To him, this huge sum of money was the life support for his future.
After he was released from prison, he just wanted to get the money back as soon as possible. Although the main management of the cult were still in prison because of his wife's case, as long as he got the funds, it would be a matter of time to find a puppet to rebuild a new cult.
But at this time his daughter said that all the money was gone. How could he accept this?
"Do you still want to use that blood-stained money to continue your career? Don't even think about it. You don't deserve to use that blood-stained money anymore, and neither do I. So I donated it all, leaving not a penny. I want to give it to those who deserve to use it..." Sagihara Shion sneered, "Maybe you don't believe it, but it doesn't matter. This is what I want to tell you..."
"Don't lie to me like that! Do you think I'm a child?" Sagihara Masao interrupted his daughter harshly, "I'm telling you, don't even think about swallowing my money. It's my money!"
Sagihara Shion did not answer, but continued to look at her father with a sneer.
Sagihara Masao gritted his teeth.
"Let's split it in half. This is the bottom line I can accept. Shiyin, think about it. Don't be greedy. Half is enough for you to live a good life. As long as you give me half, I promise not to bother you anymore. You can do whatever you want. Our father-daughter relationship will be over. No matter how you look at it, you have gained, right? Shiyin?!"
Looking at her father who was still trying to bargain, Sagihara Shion closed her eyes slightly.
This is not a father, just a stranger.
"I've already told you that everything has been donated... Stop wasting everyone's time, okay?!"
"What a greedy and bastard daughter!" Sagihara Masao lost his mind in an instant and stepped onto the stairs to interrogate his daughter.
However, just as he stepped onto the stairs, Jun Mogami next to him was quick-witted and hit him hard, causing him to stumble back to where he was, almost unable to maintain his balance.
"You bastard!" Sagihara Masao's eyes were slightly bloodshot, and he picked up a vase from the side and threw it at Mogami Jun.
Jun Mogami was prepared and picked up the box on the ground to use as a shield to block the vase.
With a bang, the vase hit the steps and shattered.
Just as the two men were about to start fighting, the sound of a motorcycle was suddenly heard outside the house.
When Masao Sagihara looked back, he saw a man in a patrol uniform riding a motorcycle and about to stop over.
shit!
It seems that the landlord here called the police before.
The cold reality temporarily extinguished the fire of anger in his heart.
As a person with a criminal record, what he fears most right now is seeing the police again. He had finally regained his freedom, and he doesn't want to lose it easily again.
Let's slip away for now. He made the decision immediately.
But don't think I'll swallow my anger and give up the money that originally belonged to me!
He raised his head, gave Sagihara Shion a fierce look, then turned and ran out of the house.
"Ah, what a lost dog." Jun Mogami said, looking at his back.
===========================================
With the arrival of the patrol police, the brief commotion in the rental house was immediately quelled.
It is obvious that since Sagihara Masao has already run away, the only two people responsible can be Mogami Jun and Sagihara Shion.
The two of them told the patrolman what had happened, apologized to the landlord, and promised not to bother them again. Mogami Jun even paid compensation for the vase. By the time everything was settled, the dark curtain had quietly descended.
