Chapter 5 second quarter

After Suma Atsuko separated from Wenjiang, he got on the subway and headed towards Shibuya.There is still some time before the peak, so the carriages and stations are not crowded.She got off the train at Shibuya and was about to walk to the Inokashira Line platform when a man stopped her. At first, Atsuko Suma thought he had misunderstood the man, the man's appearance was completely unfamiliar to her.The man had a fair and slender face, and looked like a gentle man, but his eyes with small pupils and single eyelids were very sharp. "Miss Atsuko Suma, isn't it?" When he called his name, Atsuko was sure that he did not admit the wrong person.From the other party's rude way of speaking and fierce eyes, she guessed that this person was probably a low-level criminal policeman.But Atsuko had no idea what the criminal police wanted her for.

"I won't take up too much of your time, can you come with me?" "What's the matter?" "You will know when you come." "No, if you have something, just say it here." "It's not convenient here." After the man finished speaking, he quickly looked around.If he is a criminal policeman, he is not a very decent criminal policeman. "Who the hell are you? If you don't answer, I will call you." When Dunzi said this, his voice was already very loud. If the crowds passing between the platforms of the Inokashira Line and the Tamagawa Line are compared to a big river, then these two men and women are two wooden stakes standing in the water.If Atsuko wants to ask for help, he only needs to call a little, and the surrounding people, station staff and even the police will come to rescue him immediately, so Atsuko is not afraid at all.

"Don't say such stupid things." the man whispered.Although the tone was low, it was eerie and frightening.The so-called "warning tone" that often appears in underworld novels should refer to this kind of voice. "It's because of my good intentions that I want to settle this matter privately. Isn't it all in vain if you do so?" "What do you mean by that?" "Don't be stupid, I have evidence in my hand, do you want to shame your father?" "What the hell is going on?" "You still want to pretend not to know. I'm asking if you want your future husband to bear the stigma of a betrayer."

His words had a rising tone at the end, with a hint of menace. "Bearing the stigma of being a traitor" sounds like a contrived line from a poorly translated novel, but Atsuko has lost her composure and doesn't have the energy to notice it.As soon as she saw the other party's calm and arrogant sneer, she knew that she couldn't hide it. "How do you think about it? Do you want to follow me? I won't touch you. By the way, for your peace of mind, you can take me to your favorite store. As I said at the beginning, I won't Takes too much of your time." The man's voice returned to its original steady tone.Unlike those bad guys on the street, it is not difficult to find from his speech that he will have some education.

"No, say it here." "Don't be like this. I'm also very busy. If it's something I can talk about here, I won't insist on talking about it while drinking coffee, right. The shop in front of the station should be fine." "..." "Hey, why hesitate. This is a chance to save the face of your father and future husband-in-law. Stop procrastinating and come with me. " After the man finished urging, he walked away without waiting for the other party's answer. Atsuko hesitated and reluctantly followed the man.Atsuko did have a secret that fit his description. The reason why she went with him was also because she wanted to listen carefully to what the other party said and determine how much he knew.Of course, the other party's intellectual tone did reassure her a little.

The two walked through the ticket gates to the station.At this time, when the red and blue neon lights in the downtown area began to light up, he looked at Atsuko with determined eyes like a loyal dog Hachiko. "It would be terrible if you were heard by other people. It would be better to find a place where no one is around, like a Japanese restaurant, or the second floor of a soba noodle shop..." "I don't want to go to that kind of place." "Hey, I can go anywhere, anyway, you are the one who will get into trouble." The man looked at Atsuko with mocking eyes.

When walking side by side, Atsuko realized that the man's height was actually not medium, and he could even be said to be a little short.He was neither thin nor fat, and from his not-so-solid body, there was something like a murderous aura.People who have experienced many near-death adventures on the battlefield, or those who often participate in gang fights, will naturally possess this sharp aura.Atsuko was overwhelmed by this breath. "Just this shop." There was a coffee shop just across the road, and after Atsuko said this sentence in front of the shop door, he walked in without waiting for the other party's answer.While responding to the man's confident attitude just now, she also declared that she would never make shameful concessions. She looked around the store and sat down in an unoccupied box in the corner.

"I don't like sweets. I wanted to ask you to pour the wine for me, and have a drink with cold tofu." The man seemed to push his limits, he said shamelessly, stirred the coffee, gulped it down, and ate up the puffs in two gulps.Atsuko couldn't hide her disgust and contempt for his disgusting jokes and obscene eating. "May I ask what you want to say?" He should use a more contemptuous tone towards this kind of person, and Dunzi was angry at himself for not being able to speak foul words. The man wiped his mouth with a dirty handkerchief, took out the cigarette with deliberately slow movements, and lit it.

"Then let me start from the beginning, so that you can get into the situation quickly. Donghe Textile, the company where your father is the managing director, is currently on strike, and the vice chairman of the labor union is Narumi What a man, even I can see that he has a bright personality and is kind, just the type that girls will like. It is only natural that you will fall in love with him. " He looked into Atsuko's eyes and smiled ironically. "But don't you think that this is a kind of betrayal? On the one hand is the young leader of the trade union, and on the other is the daughter of the capitalist. You are basically in an incompatible position." The man stared at Atsuko, as if he was giving a speech talking.

"Listen, the vice chairman who should be most loyal to the labor union has an affair with the daughter of the enemy director. If I leak it to people in the labor union... what do you think they will do? Narumi will be kicked out, and Bear the stigma of traitors, and you and your father can't stay out of it, you will become the laughing stock of the world." "I've known about this kind of thing for a long time. Please speak quickly. I'm also very busy." "Well, then, I'll be straight. I want a million." When he heard the amount of one million, Atsuko couldn't react for a while.Because the man's way of speaking was very flat, as if he was asking for cigarette money.

"What are you in a daze for? For a rich lady like you, this amount of money shouldn't be a big deal, right?" "..." "You just need to take out the savings. If you don't have enough, just act like a spoiled child to your dad. Your dad loves his daughter so much, it's impossible not to give it to you." "Stop talking, I don't want that much money." "If you don't have money, I won't make such a request. I've already checked out how much money your father has, and that's how I earn my living." "But I can't afford the money." "Alright then." The man stood up after he finished speaking angrily. "Remember it well. Just because you are reluctant to part with this small amount of money, your father will be forced to leave the company, and your lover will be cast aside by society. Do you understand now?" "Wait a minute!" Suma Atsuko called out to the other party in a low voice.It is true that she and Narumi are in love with each other.But because the timing was wrong, the two kept it a secret.Atsuko hates the word "fornication" very much, because she thinks it sounds obscene and obscene, but she can't help but smile wryly, there is no more appropriate word to describe herself secretly hiding from everyone. The act of a tryst with a lover.Now she can only endure the humiliation and look forward to the day when she can make her relationship public and marry Narumi.And when and where did this man see their tryst? The man sat down again, as if he had seen through her heart, with a sneer on his face.His fair face has very little expression, only the warning tone, and his Mongolian-like slender, shining eyes can express his joy and anger. "Let me tell you about the place and date of your last meeting with Narumi. I remember it clearly in my notebook." "How do you know this?" Atsuko Suma didn't understand why the two of them were being watched by this man. "Because I followed Narumi." "why?" "In order to make him obedient, let him obey my orders." "What order?" "You don't need to know about this kind of thing. In short, I want to ask Narumi to do something for me, but I also know that he will refuse. In order to make him irresistible, the best way is to master his secret, and then Spread that secret before his eyes." "Is that why you followed him?" "That's right, everyone has secrets. It's not enough to give up after only three or four days of tracking. This is a job that requires perseverance. I followed Narumi for more than a week, and I finally saw it on the tenth day. The scene of Narumi having an affair with you is really an unexpected harvest." His expression didn't change at all, but his tone sounded very proud. "At this time, I thought, the reason why I want to find out Narumi's secret is what I just said, I want him to obey my orders, but that can be done by other means, so I use this good subject How about in a better place? This matter involves you, a goose that lays golden eggs. If you don't like the analogy of a goose, you can use a swan or a peacock instead. In short, you will lay gold coins Just give it to me." "You don't want to use this kind of fairy tale analogy. Fairy tales are read to innocent children. They are not worthy of people who scare others." "Humph." "If you want to use a metaphor, it's better to use wild ducks." The man's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved. He must be smiling wryly. "It doesn't matter whether it's a wild duck or a domestic duck, the important thing is whether you want to pay the million. As long as you sell your new car, you can make up seven or eight hundred thousand." Atsuko Suma was startled, and looked into the other's eyes.She couldn't grasp the extent of this person's investigation at all. She only bought that sports car in March this year. "You are despicable for threatening others by exploiting their weaknesses." "As long as I can make money, I can do anything. I don't have the words mean and conscience in my dictionary." He snorted and said disdainfully. "But I still can't pay the money." "How can it be impossible to pay? Women are animals that are naturally stingy. The proprietress of the big courtyard has the stinginess of the big courtyard, and the rich daughter has the stinginess of the rich. Although you are beautifully dressed and beautiful, you are still an iron cock. .” "That's not what I mean. I know you want me to buy back my secret with a million dollars, but what next? Can you guarantee that you won't come again? Sorry for speaking bluntly, people like you are so-called blackmailers Well, how do you want me to trust a person who can blackmail others? I can pay a million, but if you have to blackmail me again with the same reason, I can't stand it, before you can't make a definite guarantee , I can't give you any response." "..." "Please think about it carefully, and talk about it after you think it over." "you!" "I'll pay with your share." Atsuko Suma grabbed the bill and got up quickly, walking to the cash register.Although she mustered up the courage to humiliate the other party with obscene words, doing so made her feel self-deprecating, which was not at all pleasant.She insisted on not turning her head to look at the man as she returned the change from the cashier.Because she didn't have to turn her head to feel that behind her, the blackmailer was sitting on the seat like a defeated rooster. After getting on the tram on the Inokashira Line, Atsuko regained his composure a little bit, and he still had the energy to recall the major events that happened today—someone proposed a marriage to him on behalf of the annoying secretary, and a strange person came to extort a large sum of money from him.Atsuko felt that today was really her unlucky day.
