Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Without any obstacles, the recording of the show resumed.

After Yoko led the group into the clock tower, the photographer diligently followed behind, carrying his equipment.

No one on the production team dared to ask any questions about the two boys and the cute little boy who had suddenly arrived.

……

"Honey, how did you do that just now?"

Before the photographer could come in, Yoko couldn't help but hug her boyfriend and ask the question that had been bothering her.

All she knew was that Luo Tian gave a few instructions to his assistant, and then the assistant successfully got the pot-bellied middle-aged man to leave room 517.

Did they threaten the other party using the name of the Suzuki Foundation?

"It's nothing, I just told him a little secret about that guy."

Luo Tian looked at the staircase winding upwards and casually explained.

"A secret? Does Mr. Takarada have some unspeakable secret?"

Aoko Nakamori looked confused.

As a native of Jianggutian, she had heard of the name of the current owner of this clock tower.

There were even rumors that the clock tower was going to be demolished and sold to an amusement park.

The one who devised this plan was Takarada Tai!

"If you want to know, let's go to the top of the clock tower first."

As Luo Tian spoke, he took the lead and ran up the stairs.

The staircase spirals upwards from the bottom, with platforms set up around it at various heights for people to stop.

With its large windows on all four sides, the clock tower offers views of Ekoda-cho from various angles.

This is one of the reasons why the production team chose this location.

As for the other reason, it is of course the large diamonds set on the hands of the clock tower dial!

"Oh! What a great opportunity!"

A photographer who happened to walk in captured a picture of an adorable little boy running happily.

He immediately gave chase, determined to capture the entire scene.

Of course, the production team couldn't have only one cameraman.

Yoko's side is naturally handled by others.

Upon seeing the camera, the female idol immediately switched to work mode.

With the newly acquainted duo of Qing and Hong, they slowly walked uphill.

As they walked, they recounted the history of the clock tower.

This was also homework she had done in advance!

Although time was a bit tight and I may not have memorized everything, this is, after all, a recording of a program.

Staff members will be off-camera to provide reminders, and if necessary, another take can be done.

However, the presence of Aoko Nakamori caused a slight change in the originally planned recording process.

Of all the people present, she was definitely the one who knew this clock tower best!

Whenever Yoko didn't explain something clearly, she would add a few words as needed.

This greatly surprised the show's producers!

Koizumi Akako, the transfer student, was certainly not very familiar with the history of Ekoda-cho.

She played the role of the questioner very well, just like someone watching the show, asking questions.

Despite it being their first meeting, the three of them shared an unspoken understanding.

They both knew that this tacit understanding stemmed from the fact that they had just learned each other's secrets.

"We've reached the top floor!"

After stepping over the last step, the top floor of the clock tower came into view.

The architectural plans for the clock tower, as well as some related information, are displayed here for visitors to view.

Having been here several times, Nakamori Aoko knows all about this place by heart.

What she cared about was what Luo Tian had said earlier.

Can we take a break?

Yoko was also curious about this and winked at someone behind her.

The production team was very understanding and immediately announced that everyone should take a short break before filming the next part.

Other staff members also intentionally or unintentionally kept a certain distance from the female idol to avoid hearing anything they shouldn't.

"What are you looking at?"

Koizumi Akako walked to the window and pulled the little boy, who was almost pressed against the glass, down.

"As a witch, you should know a lot about gems and such, right?"

Luo Tian's gaze remained fixed on the clock tower dial outside the window.

The tips of the short hands on the dial are set with several large diamonds.

On such a clear day, even inside the clock tower, one can see very clearly through the glass.

According to the original trajectory, these large diamonds should have been switched.

Unfortunately, Luo Tian didn't know much about this, and even if he knew the inside story, he couldn't tell if the diamond was real or fake.

So he consulted a professional!

The amulet he wore was made by Koizumi Akako herself.

It's also inlaid with a ruby; if you were to sell it, it would probably be quite valuable.

Of course, he wouldn't do that!

"Of course, gemology is a required course for red magic!"

Hearing Luo Tian ask this question, Koizumi Akako couldn't help but feel a little smug.

She raised her long, slender neck, as if no one knew more about gemstones than she did.

"Do you know how much these diamonds are worth?"

Luo Tian leaned against the glass again, pointing at the short needle.

"What's wrong with this diamond?"

Yoko also came over with Nakamori Aoko and picked up the little boy so that her boyfriend could identify him more easily.

Before recording this show, she did some research.

The greatest value of this clock tower lies in these few diamonds.

Looking at it up close now, however, there's an indescribable sense of awkwardness.

She had never seen such a large diamond before, but it seemed no different from a prop used in a movie.

It can't be fake, right?

"Is this the secret you were talking about?"

Under the influence of her father, a criminal investigator, and her mother, a prosecutor, Nakamori Aoko's thinking is more agile.

She quickly realized the meaning behind Luo Tian's words.

"Don't rush, let's have a professional take a look first."

Luo Tian smiled slightly and gestured for Koizumi Akako to take a closer look at the large diamonds.

Chapter 369 Phantom Thief Kid's Announcement - The Real One! (Second Update)

The recording of a travel introduction program is quite easy.

After spending more than half an hour on the top floor of the clock tower, the recording of this episode was completely finished.

Of course, this is also thanks to Yoko's outstanding business skills.

Even knowing that those large diamonds were fake, he didn't show any unusual expression when introducing them.

She delivered a superb performance showcasing her increasingly refined acting skills!

In contrast, the expressions on the faces of the other staff members on the production team were quite subtle.

After recording for ages, it turns out the biggest selling point is that it's a fake?!

What is this? Marketing fraud?!

They were still unable to calm down when they left the clock tower.

Therefore, Takarada, who had been waiting outside, immediately knew from their expressions that something was wrong!

It's highly likely that someone knowledgeable discovered the diamond had been switched!

Fortunately, he was prepared for this!

"Mr. Takarada, there's something I'm not sure if I should say?"

Having learned such explosive inside information, the show's producer, who was adept at navigating social situations, naturally knew what to do.

He went directly to Takarada, intending to have a serious talk.

Otherwise, if it causes trouble after the show airs, it would be a loss.

"What happened?"

Takarada pretended not to notice anything and deliberately put on a puzzled expression.

"It's about the diamonds in the clock tower!"

……

"Won't Ms. Yoko's recording of this program have been for nothing?"

Back in the van, Nakamori Aoko looked out the window at the two middle-aged men talking, a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.

"So what if it's a free recording? We've already got the money."

Yoko teased the little boy in her arms and wasn't worried at all.

For her, today's announcement was originally to repay a favor from Nichii TV.

If anything goes wrong, it has nothing to do with her.

I'll just consider it leaving get off work early so I can go home and be with my boyfriend sooner.

"That's right, we're only responsible for filming; whether it gets broadcast or not is their business."

Luo Tian, ​​resting his head on his female idol's pet teddy bear, nodded in agreement.

Thanks to the cooling magic trick that Koizumi Akako had just demonstrated, none of the participants felt particularly hot after recording the program.

Even in close proximity, it doesn't feel uncomfortable.

However, after being hit on the back of the little boy's head, Yoko couldn't help but blush.

Noticing this, Koizumi Akako's expression became subtle.

She remembered the feeling of holding Luo Tian in her arms before.

Due to exhaustion, she couldn't hold on for long, and now, looking back, she feels a little nostalgic!

But in front of Yoko, her official girlfriend, she felt embarrassed to do anything.

She could only suppress her inner desires and think about how to trick Luo Tian into coming to her home.

This way we can study it more thoroughly!

Nakamori Aoko, who was sitting next to her, also saw this scene.

Compared to Hongzi, her reaction was much more shy, as innocent as a child, her face flushed as she stiffly turned her neck.
