Chapter 120 Komachi Kurenai'S Cunning Operation
"Passphrase?" Shikato Ichiro looked around, bewildered. He thought this might be a prank show, which was not uncommon in Tokyo.
It was rush hour, with hurried pedestrians all around. He couldn't find where the camera might be hidden.
He saw this as a perfect opportunity to be on screen. He straightened his posture and started to act, deliberately lowering his voice as he leaned close to Komachi Kurenai's ear.
"Sorry, I've already taken care of your contact. Now hand over the information, and I'll let you go."
Shikato Ichiro thought he looked incredibly cool at that moment. He gazed at Komachi Kurenai, his face filled with anticipation, wondering what expression this beautiful woman would make.
"..." Komachi Kurenai stared at Shikato Ichiro's smug smile and, for some reason, suddenly didn't feel as sympathetic towards him. The original plan was to give him the briefcase no matter what he said, thinking he had the correct code.
Now that he saw him acting on his own, Komachi Kurenai also went online with her acting skills. Her face under the sunglasses was full of panic. She forcefully shoved the suitcase into his hands, then without any hesitation, she turned around and ran.
She moved swiftly, disappearing into the crowd of people leaving work.
Shikato Ichiro had a puzzled expression on his face. This development was not what he had expected.
He stood there, holding the black suitcase, waiting for someone to come out and tell him, "Congratulations, you've been fooled," or something like that.
Just then, a dozen or so police officers came running from a distance, their right hands resting on their waists, ready to draw their guns. Some of them were even holding riot shields. In an instant, they surrounded him.
This scene also frightened the pedestrians around him. They quickly moved aside, creating an empty space.
One of the police officers raised his gun and shouted loudly at Shikato Ichiro, "Hands up, get down immediately!"
"No... I'm not!" Shikato Ichiro's legs went weak, and he immediately crouched down, raising his hands above his head. His mind went blank, unable to comprehend the situation in front of him.
He couldn't remember what happened next. When he came to his senses, he had already spent a night in prison.
"Hello, I am your lawyer," Komachi Kurenai said, dressed in professional attire with her hair pinned up and wearing exquisite makeup. She had dark lipstick, black stockings, and high heels, giving her the appearance of a sophisticated working woman.
"I am innocent," Shikato Ichiro said, completely panicked, unable to recognize the woman in front of him as the same woman who handed him the black suitcase yesterday.
"Don't worry, when it comes to defense, I am a professional. You just need to trust me," Komachi Kurenai said, her face serious and her eyes shining with a trustworthy light.
"It's great to meet you," Shikato Ichiro said, tears of joy streaming down his face, wiping them away with his arm. In his darkest moment, this mature sister appeared, shining a light into the depths of his heart.
At this moment, Shikato Ichiro felt like he might be the protagonist, because for some inexplicable reason, he was misunderstood, then he met a beautiful older sister and developed a poignant love story.
In the courtroom, the judge held the verdict in his hand and solemnly said, "Shikato Ichiro, accused of compromising national security, urgent trial, sentenced to ten years in prison. Does the defense lawyer wish to present a defense?"
Komachi Kurenai stood up from Shikato Ichiro's hopeful gaze, bowed deeply to the judge, and said, "I have no objections."
After sitting back down, she began organizing the documents, preparing to go home after work.
Shikato Ichiro looked puzzled, "???"
Of course, Shikato Ichiro was not actually sentenced. The court quickly received a document from the Special Affairs Bureau, explaining that Shikato Ichiro was innocent and had been wrongly implicated by a female spy.
So, Komachi Kurenai personally picked up Shikato Ichiro in her car again, this time without changing her disguise, using her original appearance.
Shikato Ichiro was extremely grateful to her and thought of Komachi Kurenai as an angel. He wanted to recognize her as his own mother, but his request was turned down.
In the end, Shikato Ichiro was asked to cooperate with the investigation. He was put up in a luxury hotel, where he enjoyed good food and drinks every day. However, he would have to stay for another week before he could leave.
Shikato Ichiro was quite excited about this and felt like he was the protagonist. This kind of adventure could only happen to the main character.
On the other side, Li Xia didn't notice that Shikato Ichiro didn't come to school, as he was busy hanging out with Kiyoura Mai and making short film every day.
During this time, there were some small incidents. Fujino, who hadn't been seen for a long time, came over every day, propping up her chin and watching the few people shoot short films with relish.
The appearance of this innocent and well-endowed girl made Asakawa Aki feel awkward, but Akane still seemed to get along with everyone, being very friendly.
The shooting progress proceeded in an orderly manner, with Kiyoura Mai, the editing queen, almost completing the time-consuming editing and soundtrack work in sync.
Three days before the assignment deadline, everyone completed the task ahead of time.
"Ah, finally done, more tiring than attending ten consecutive orgy parties," Kiyoura Mai and Li Xia walked side by side on the campus, she stretched lazily, tilting her head: "I'm definitely going to have a good sleep today."
"Sitting in front of the computer doesn't count as attending," Li Xia shrugged. After spending more than ten days with this racing queen, he was used to his bold jokes, and could even occasionally respond with a few words.
"Why doesn't it count?" Kiyoura Mai pursed her lips. "The expenses are the same, and it's healthy and hygienic, no need to worry about getting sick."
Li Xia felt like he was ultimately losing in the dirty jokes department.
Anyway, the two passed by the school's activity building, and from a distance, they saw the class representative, Katsura Manami, standing with a few girls, as if they were passionately arguing about something.
Katsura Manami had always been serious and solemn, and this was Li Xia's first time seeing her argue with someone.
After all, they were somewhat familiar, Li Xia felt that she wasn't just there to watch, but out of curiosity, he walked up to the group.
"Sorry, Manami, it's too late, we're reshooting with a different lead, which means all the previous shots are scrapped, there's simply not enough time."
"We have enough time," Katsura Manami said firmly, repeating this sentence. She wasn't good at arguing with people, and when it came down to it, this was all she said.
Seeing her friend's expression, she could only shake her head, looking helpless.
In Katsura Manami's mind, a male figure appeared. She had agreed to compete on the same stage. How could she possibly just give up like this?
Then, she turned her head and saw that figure standing next to her, looking in this direction.
It was quite awkward. Katsura Manami saw Li Xia, knowing that he saw her just now in a dispute with someone, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions for a moment.
Not being able to keep their agreement and being seen in that state made her feel very uncomfortable.
"There's enough time." Li Xia's voice came from where he was standing.
Katsura Manami looked up in surprise and met eyes with Kiyoura Mai. It was she who had said those words just now.
