Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Lakeside

Hearing that Tokuyama said that he would go to another place to find a "witness", Nobuko hesitated.Look at your watch, it's past six o'clock, and it's getting dark. "Is it far away?" "It's not far, just take a short drive." Deshan replied easily. "I'm sorry for taking you around. I think it's best for Madam to ask the truth from that young man. Besides, I feel a great responsibility to tell you such a serious situation. Even if it is for me to fulfill my responsibility, you must meet he." Nobuko also felt that sooner or later she would have to meet this person, and that the other party had the evidence to confront her husband.Since it's not far away, it's okay to meet at this time.There may be no chance in the future, and it may be more troublesome.

"Then let's go!" "Really? Then let's go together!" Deshan returned to the car energetically.What he fears most is that Xinzi will leave just then, and women often turn back halfway because it is too late.Since I treat each other with a gentleman's demeanor, I can't force it.After sitting in the carriage together, he was satisfied that he finally managed to lure her out. The car was driving from Shibuya District to Meguro District, and was running into people and cars, stopping and going. "Where is that person?" Nobuko asked worriedly.It was dark and the streets were brightly lit.

"Just by the river." "riverside?" "Tama River...Young man! He loves to eat river fish. That kind of environment would not be a mansion." Tokuyama said seriously. "Driver," he greeted. "How long does it take to get to Maruko Bridge from here?" "Oh, about fifteen minutes." When Xinzi came here, he had already lost the opportunity to get off the bus on the way, because the way out was shorter than the way back.However, the place where Tokuyama asked the man to wait was a bit too far away. "Oh, that kid said he wants to eat river fish." Tokugawa seemed to have guessed what Nobuko was thinking. "I used to tell him to stay alone in Kofu, and to come to Tokyo once in a while to let him relax."

The sedan finally pulled into the wide lane and picked up speed.A tram stop can be seen at the end of the driveway, and the endless darkness ahead of the station.In the distance, the lights are dotted, and there is the Tama River, and the white bridge can be vaguely seen in the dark.The car crossed the bridge and turned right, and a string of unique courtyard lights lit up on the side of the driveway.On the slope of the bulging hill, the vegetation in the garden is faintly visible.The car stopped in front of a luxurious courtyard. "right here." Nobuko was a little hesitant when he saw the mansion. It was not like Tokuyama said, it was obviously a restaurant.She and Deshan came here at night, and she couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Deshan lost no time in seducing him step by step. The driver quickly opened the car door, and a man with the appearance of a servant walked out of the yard. "welcome!" Tokuyama has already got out of the car, only Nobuko is left in the car, and there is no one in the crucial driver's seat. Nobuko got out of the car helplessly, and if something really happened, he must return immediately.It seems that the building of the restaurant is magnificent, and there must be many waitresses.As long as you call for help, someone will come to help immediately. Tokuyama pretended to be bold and let Nobuko walk in front, and he followed closely, and he was also very kind to the welcoming waitress. "I asked my companion to wait here."

"Yes." The waitress bowed, neither affirming nor denying. Stepping on the stone path in the courtyard, Nobuko was led to the annex surrounded by trees in the courtyard. "The view from the second floor here is beautiful." Tokuyama said loudly. "Watching the lights on the other side while eating carp slices is really enjoyable. It's just a little cold now." The waitress nodded and urged Nobuko to enter.The living room was empty. Tokuyama stood in the living room. "Where's my companion?" "I was still waiting just now. Later, it was said that the executive didn't come, so he went back."

"Going back?" Tokuyama asked in surprise. "How many times have I repeatedly warned..." "It seems that he is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the car, so he left in a hurry." "There's nothing we can do about him!" Deshan clicked his tongue. "If you can't make it to the bus, wouldn't it be over if you stay in Tokyo for one night? ... It's also my fault that I didn't explain it carefully." "Please sit down!" The waitress greeted Xinzi. "Oh, what a disrespect!" Tokuyama said, looking back at Nobuko. "I'm so sorry that this matter didn't go well! I invited you here. But by mistake, I was only one step away. It's all because of the traffic jam on the road." Deshan looked at the cushions on both sides of the dining table. "Forget it, if you come, you can rest easy, order food before leaving!... Please sit down!" He urged Xinzi to sit down.

Nobuko is at a loss, should he leave if nothing is done?Moreover, the partitions and sliding windows of this room are all open, and the scenery of the river outside the window is unobstructed.Nobuko felt a little relieved. "I'm so sorry!" Deshan apologized again when the food and drink came to the table. "I'm really sorry, I didn't arrange it well..." The same words were repeated over and over again. As a result, Xinzi was embarrassed by the boss.Moreover, Tokuyama stretched his chopsticks into the dishes that were served one after another, while ordering the waitress around him, and his upright attitude made Nobuko even more at ease.

Tokuyama no longer talked about his subordinates, but talked and laughed happily with the waitress.After carp miso soup and grilled eel, the meal begins.Nobuko refused Deshan's persuasion to drink, but did not clink glasses, and Deshan did not force it. "I'm a little drunk." Deshan began to let loose. "It's easy to get drunk when drinking alone." Wiping his face, he looked at his watch. "Ah? It's so late? Go back quickly!" "Yes!" Nobuko nodded immediately. "I tasted a special flavor tonight, thank you very much." "How is it? Is it to your taste?"

"Yes, very tasty." "That's great!" Then he turned to the waitress. "Guests say it tastes good." "Thank you for the compliment." The waitress saluted respectfully. Tokuyama staggered to his feet and walked out of the room, while the waitress flattered Nobuko blatantly.Deshan quickly came back and sat down, as if remembering something. "Oh, yes. Hey, is that room still available?" "Yes." The waitress nodded. "Honestly, ma'am," he turned to Nobuko with a smile. "The owner of this store has some smug antiques, and also has a collection of rare things. Most of the customers are particularly interested in that room. It is said that it is vacant now. Would you like to go and have a look?"

"..." "I'm obsessed with this kind of objects now, Madam must go and have a look." He saw Xinzi hesitating. "Oh, it's not far from here. Go downstairs to the gate, and you'll be there in ten minutes by the way." "Okay! Let's go together." Nobuko replied.Observing Tokuyama's attitude along the way and the way the waitress stayed close, Nobuko felt that he could be trusted, and the waitress would go with him. It was indeed the direction to return to the gate. The waitress led the way and opened the wooden lattice door of the small single house.Tokuyama went in first, and Nobuko followed. "I'll serve tea!" said the waitress. "Oh, yes!" Deshan replied from the inside, opening the partition. Nobuko casually followed in. The room was much smaller than the one on the second floor just now.Although small, it is also exquisite and chic. "The antiques are in the front room." Tokuyama beckoned Nobuko to enter. "Wait here for the shopkeeper." However, the owner of the shop was late, and the waitress who said she was going to bring tea did not come.Tokuyama slowly took out a cigarette. "If it's inconvenient, come see it next time!" Xinzi said, looking at her watch.It was almost ten o'clock. "It's okay! Don't worry." Tokuyama said calmly. "No matter how early you go back, your husband won't wait for you, right?" "Ah?" Xinzi was startled when he heard this, and raised his face. Deshan leaned on the dining table with his elbows, and stared at Nobuko. At this time, Deshan was a different person.The gentlemanly demeanor just now disappeared, and the male's greedy eyes shot over. "Yokawa-kun!" Deshan pouted. "I won't come back to you. It's useless to wait. He found a lovely woman." "I'm leaving." Nobuko picked up her purse to get up. "Okay, there's no need to rush home in a hurry, just listen to me!" "I don't want to hear anything." "You don't have to be so serious, and don't be angry...I'm enough to take care of Mr. Yanchuan. On the surface, he financed me and seemed to be kind to me, but in fact it was the opposite. This person took great pains to get out of the mutual bank. Yes It is good to have courage and arrogance, but he is still a rich young man after all, in the eyes of those of us who have come here from scratch, he is simply taking risks." "..." "However, he doesn't know it at all, and blindly believes in his own strength. Alas, this is also the pride that industrialists who are born as young masters often have. I don't want to hurt his face, so I have to coax him. However, if things go on like this, your husband If you say it’s planted, it will be planted.” "I don't understand what you're saying." "That is. Your husband never tells you about your career. Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I am very interested in Shiokawa-kun and have studied him. At this moment, madam, you appeared. I have studied How does Yanchuan-kun raise funds, what is his real purpose... Unfortunately for you, madam." "..." "I really sympathize with you! If I were an ordinary person, I would be filled with righteous indignation and beat Mr. Yanchuan violently. However, since you want to start a career, you can't just emphasize the sense of justice. So instead, my sympathy for Madam, no , This sympathy has begun to turn into love." Tokuyama moved his body towards the table, and Nobuko stepped back, his eyes stern. "I'm just the kind of person who won't try to please you with sweet words. I'll do whatever it takes to get you." "What nonsense are you talking about!" Xinzi was about to stand up. At this time, Tokuyama grabbed the edge of the table and tried to push it aside. Seeing Tokuyama at this moment, Nobuko felt suddenly enlightened.I always felt that the other party seemed to have known each other before, but now I finally remembered.The virtue in front of him is the man who pestered him with his face on the Central Line train.At that time, I hardly looked at him directly, so I didn't have a deep impression.Only when his stance just now coincided with the image in the car did he realize it.Nobuko stood up, and Tokuyama pushed the table away and stood up too. "Ma'am!" Tokuyama gasped. "I like Madam, I like it very much. Madam, stay here with me... stay here with me." He reached out to grab Xinzi's shoulder. "what are you doing?" "Please! Don't go!" "No! I want to go back." "I like it, I like you!" Tokuyama put his hands away from Nobuko's neck again. "what!" The man was strong, and seeing Nobuko was about to fall, Tokuyama forced his face closer to Nobuko. "I like, I like madam!" Tokuyama screamed, and pressed his mouth against Nobuko's neck suddenly, the warm and wet touch turned into a chill that spread all over Nobuko's body. Tokuyama dragged the letter and pushed open the partition of another room with his toes. In Nobuko's eyes, the bedding in the dark room flashed... Nobuko herself didn't know how she escaped. After she regained consciousness and calmed down, she found herself walking alone on the embankment of the Tama River. Nobuko Shiokawa finally made it back home.While stumbling along the dim Tama River, in the taxi, Tokuyama's face could never be out of his sight.She was too careless, and she regretted her naivety.She was not unaware of Tokuyama's thoughts, but it was a major mistake to think that there would be no danger.However, at this time, Nobuko felt that Tokuyama's words weighed heavily on his heart more than his face. The husband wanted to frame Associate Professor Asano and label himself an infidelity.Moreover, it is unbelievable that they want to use this to write off their natal family's loan.However, judging by the husband's recent behavior, there is no reason to deny this possibility.It was upon hearing this that the truth of her husband's puzzling words and deeds came to light. The emotional departure started a long time ago, so even a divorce would not cause much shock.Mo Ruo said that he had made many attempts to divorce but failed, but this time is an excellent opportunity.However, if Tokuyama's words are true, her husband's calculations are too ugly and cruel.But judging from his personality, it's not impossible to do it. Tokuyama showed her the evidence fabricated by her husband, the photo of Tangcun's passenger register.At first I didn't believe it, but later I wanted to prove its authenticity, but was tricked out by Deshan's rhetoric. However, now there is no need to think hard anymore, the plight of my mother's family has become the most painful heart disease, and my father must have borrowed money from the bank at the cost of all the real estate.The husband's reward is not money, but the wife's "infidelity". The night is long.Xinzi got off the car in front of the house, the lights were still on, and it was Chengzi who was waiting for her.Nobuko opened the door of the building, and her husband's shoes came into view.Xinzi was shocked, and when he took off his shoes, he found that the straps and the edges of the shoes were covered with dirt.Nobuko took out a tissue from her purse and wiped it, but it was already difficult to wipe it clean. "You're back." Chengzi greeted him sleepily, and when she saw Nobuko was shining shoes, she extended her hand to help. "Oh, ma'am, let me come!" "No, sir?" "In the study. Returned an hour ago." My husband didn't come home last night and the night before.Nobuko entered the corridor and knocked lightly on her husband's door.Hongzhi had already changed into a kimono, and was smoking a cigarette in a daze.Just by looking at his side face, one could tell that he was in a bad mood. Of course, her husband always had a straight face.Tonight may be a psychological effect, the expression seems particularly serious. "I'm late." Hongzhi took a puff of the cigarette, then let it out, and then responded with an "um". "Where did you go?" He glared at Xinzi. "I went to see an acquaintance." "Really? . . . You've been to the country?" "what?" "There was a lot of mud on the hem of the clothes." When surprised, Cheng Zi came from the corridor. "Madam, the shoes have been wiped, but they are still wet! Put them there." "Really?" Her husband's eyes lit up. "Hi!" he screamed. "Bring the shoes!" Chengzi was a little puzzled, and found that the husband and wife were at war, so he returned to the hall tremblingly. "Nobuko, don't stand there, sit down." "yes." "I heard from Chengzi that you have already gone out. Where have you been?" "..." Chengzi returned to the study with a newspaper packet in his hand. "Come on, let me have a look." Hong Zhi took the newspaper bag, opened the newspaper, and sprinkled some black wet soil.Hongzhi checked the soles of the shoes one by one, and the traces of Chengzi's rubbing were shining. "Okay!" He wrapped up the shoes and handed them to Chengzi. "It's all right. You go to sleep!" he ordered. The husband couldn't take his cigarette away from his mouth, he kept smoking it, and finally turned his head to look at his wife who was bowing his head. "There's so much mud! Even the hem of my clothes is so dirty, I must have walked in the wilderness. What's the matter? Ah? Don't dare to say it?" One of the husband's eyes narrowed, which is his habitual expression when he adds insult to injury. Nobuko bit her lip.It is very easy to say Tokuyama's name, but you must also say the reason, and this matter is related to Koji himself.Xinzi had to ask about the loan, but he didn't want to use this method, and should ask questions in a more normal atmosphere.If this matter is mentioned now, of course it cannot avoid explaining the entanglement with Tokuyama.Nobuko doesn't want to do that. "Oh? Don't you dare to say it?" The husband asked forcefully. "It's so dirty, it's impossible for you to go alone. There won't be such a place in downtown Tokyo, it must be far away. Who did you go with?" Originally, Hongzhi just felt a little strange when he saw the dirt on his wife's clothes.But the shoes that Chengzi brought aroused his suspicions, the shoes seemed to be walking through the mud.Feeling that this matter was unusual, Hongzhi's suspicion suddenly increased. "Don't dare to say?" He asked forcefully. "You can't go to that kind of place alone. Who are you with?" When Hongzhi pressed him, a man appeared next to Nobuko in his imagination.He could take this opportunity to break up on the grounds of his wife's infidelity.One day, I have to declare this decision by myself.Before the announcement, the wife should be chased and beaten. Nobuko was silent.Normally, she would immediately get up and go back to her room, but the experience of walking with Tokuyama just now dispelled this idea.Moreover, she was hugged by Tokuyama, even though it was only for a moment, she felt the stain of the thick lips on her neck.At the same time, she also knew that her husband would not let her go. In the final analysis, Hongzhi has two extreme psychology.On the one hand, he pretends to be completely indifferent, and on the other hand, he pours unnecessary attention, and this attention is accompanied by a stubbornness that is usually unimaginable.Therefore, the indifference that seems to be indifferent is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, he is always ready to catch his wife's mistakes in the dark. Nobuko seemed to have made up her mind, and she raised her head. "Yes, it's not just me." Hongzhi saw his wife's radiant eyes.Oh!Want to rebel?Thinking of this, he was mentally prepared. "who is it?" "Mr. Tokuyama." "What?" Hong Zhi was taken aback, but he immediately smiled secretly in his heart.Oh!It turned out to be Tokuyama!It's not impossible. He had inquired about Xinzi's situation many times before, and he seemed very interested in Xinzi.Judging from Tokuyama's usual lustful performance, it is entirely possible that he has met Nobuko once and pestered her endlessly.But why did Tokuyama take Nobuko out?He couldn't imagine why. He hummed. "Why did he take you out? Don't justify yourself." He induced Nobuko to continue. "I'm not lying." "What's the reason? Tell me." "He said he wanted to tell me about you, and I went." "Oh? Is it related to me?" Hongzhi was caught off guard again. What would Tokuyama say to Nobuko?Hongzhi thought quickly, I gave Deshan 60 million in financing, which was from Xinzi's natal family. I didn't tell Deshan the source of the financing, and of course he wouldn't know the plan behind it.It is conceivable that when Tokuyama received help from Koji and his career progressed, he would flatter Nobuko with rhetoric, which is not a big deal.He looked at his wife's kimono again. "This is so strange! Deshan should be a gentle person, why did he take you to the mud? Where did you go?" "On the bank of the Tama River." "Hey!" He widened his eyes. "You can't see your fingers there at night, and it seems that only men and women in love hang out... You mean that Tokuyama asked you to go there to talk about it?" "..." Xinzi lowered her head. "Ah? Tell me!" Hong Zhi asked forcefully.However, at this time, a thought that he had never thought of before came to his mind again - Deshan molested his wife!Of course, it won't be by the river at night. This kind of man must lure his wife to some restaurant, and then use all means to achieve his goal.Nobuko broke away from him and fled... No, can she break away from him?Dirt on the hem of clothes and shoes can explain the fact that she escaped, but it may not guarantee her innocence. "Let's start from the beginning!" Hong Zhi pretended to be calm and took a cigarette in his mouth. "Which hotel did he take you to?" Nobuko raised her eyes again. "It's not a hotel, it's a restaurant." "The restaurants in that area..." Hongzhi looked thoughtfully. "There should be only the 'Linquanzhuang' family, and there is a hillside behind, right?" Hongzhi still had the impression that he had fooled around with women there himself, so he was furious. "yes." "Do you know what's there for?" "..." "Of course, the door hangs 'river fish restaurant', but there is also a small house in the courtyard." "..." "Which room did Tokuyama take you to?" "..." Nobuko couldn't answer.It begins with a large room with open windows and a spectacular view, with the river flowing in the glimmer of light at night.However, she went to the small one-room house that her husband had mentioned. In fact, she was forcibly hugged by Tokuyama there. "Ah? Where is it?" Hong Zhi suddenly stood up. "You don't say it, do you?" His eyes glistened with anger.He had never erupted with such force, and often smugly smug about his ability to play it cool.At this moment, he approached Nobuko with a blushing face. "In the small hut." Nobuko replied bluntly. "What? Where is the solitary house?" Hong Zhi played back the memories of the past before his eyes. "Near the courtyard gate." A small room appeared in front of Hongzhi, with a small hanging scroll in a Buddhist altar and a low red lacquered table. Behind the partition was a dark room covered with bedding. "What did Tokuyama do to you?" "..." "Hey! Are you afraid to say it?" "Dare to say, nothing." "Lie!" Hong Zhi gasped. "What happened to the muddy water on your clothes and shoes?...I know, you escaped after being molested by a man." "wrong!" "It's useless to justify. I know the mechanism of that small single house. After entering, the door is locked from the outside." "No, I didn't let him do that." "Lie!" Hongzhi's whole body boiled.This woman is his wife in name, but he has not had any contact with her for a long time. This is his cold revenge for his wife.He is free and easy outside, never worrying about not having a woman.He often recruited women to stay in the same hotel for three or four days, and went straight to work at the bank every morning. However, when he thought of his wife being held down by Tokuyama, jealousy and lust suddenly broke out.Perhaps Nobuko is telling the truth, and the dirt on the hem of his clothes and shoes is the evidence of breaking away from Tokuyama. However, when he saw Tokuyama's burly physique and energetic face, he was caught in a fantasy and couldn't extricate himself.Sooner or later, this woman will be dumped, and the money will not be returned to the old man at all.Xinzi's parents are old-minded, and if they learn that their daughter has done such a thing, they must be ashamed to call for the loan.Hong Zhi had already figured out this step, and now he is more confident. "It's useless to say anything, you must have been moved by Tokuyama." "No, absolutely not." Nobuko stared straight at Hongzhi with sharp eyes, which made him bewildered.It can be said that what made him irrational was the hostility in his wife's eyes. He slapped his wife with all his might. "What are you doing?" Xinzi staggered and covered his face. Hongzhi threw himself on Nobuko, grabbed the hair and tore open the neckline, and Nobuko fell down on the sofa swallowing his anger.Hiroji felt as if he was facing the first woman, and his disheveled hair fell on his forehead and cheeks as if it had been ravaged by a storm.The neckline is open, the long shirt is exposed, the hem of the kimono is turned up, and the white legs are kicking.Hongzhi pressed Nobuko's neck with one hand, and slapped her face two or three times with the other hand. Nobuko gritted her teeth and lowered her head, neither shouting nor crying.She wanted to avoid her husband's violence, and subconsciously adjusted the hem of her kimono.Her actions stimulated Hongzhi even more, he pressed on Nobuko's chest, and pulled open the skirt with both hands.The skin is exposed to the light, reflecting a snow-white luster.Only then did she understand her husband's intentions and began to resist frantically. Hong Zhi forcefully pulled the woman's resisting arms away, feeling inconceivably that he was conquering his wife with violence.The contortion of Nobuko's face pushes him towards brutal atrocities. after a month.When her husband came home occasionally, Nobuko shut herself in a room, completely isolated from him. Hongzhi walked past his wife's room with a sneer, and his face had become increasingly depressed recently.He had met Deshan, but he never mentioned his wife, and Deshan also acted nonchalantly.Although Koji held the photo of the passenger register obtained by Zhilizi, he was unaware of Tokuyama's scheme behind it, and he was carefully considering the opportunity to give full play to the role of this photo. After Zhilizi handed the photo to Koji, she began to scold him violently. "Why don't you break up with Madam?" On Xiao Qiao's face, two star pupils flashed brightly. "Oh, soon." "It's been a long time since I gave you the photo. You were like a ghost when you asked for the photo. Why don't you stop now?" "You have to look at the right time to make a decision!" He said slowly. "What's the point of just wanting to do it quickly? I'm waiting for the best time." "Did you say something nice on your lips, but you want to make a big fuss in your heart?" "Stupid words!...Don't be so anxious!" "Do you know how much effort I spent trying to convince Shimomura?" "Of course I know..." "Shimomura has put a lot of effort into me too!" she said sensationally. "You have no idea how difficult it is to get that form. It's all up to me!" "With your vigor, any man has to be submissive." "Don't interrupt!" Zhi Lizi sternly said. "I've always believed your word, but I can't wait any longer. Well, show me the evidence of your separation from your lady." "evidence?" "That's needless to say. You talk sweet words, but you want to get rid of me in your heart. How many years have you kept me waiting? I'm afraid you still love your wife?" "Nothing." He smiled. "I've been living with you for three days." "You came to me because you had nowhere to go. You can tell from your attitude these days." "You guessed nonsense!" "How could it be a wild guess?" Zhi Lizi became more and more impatient. "What are you thinking now, I know as well as I know myself... Your inability to deal with Madam is the best evidence. I believed your words and waited until now." "Hmph! Do you still want to say, how many good relationships have you missed these years?" "Don't be slick, you've been trying to fool me lately. Before and after you got the photo, you are completely different." "Yeah, maybe it's really different!" "Huh? What?" "No, I'm talking about the company's affairs." In fact, Hongzhi has recently begun to have doubts about Tokuyama's attitude, and Tokuyama has inadvertently alienated him.Because Hongzhi has a bank job, he can't show up at the Oriental Travel Company every day.Occasionally go there, and I can't see the kind faces before.It seems that there is a layer of filter, the distance is getting farther and the color is distorted. On the surface, Deshan still smiled like that, but it was not a sincere sense of intimacy.If it is a real sense of closeness, he should take the initiative to introduce the project content to Hongzhi and discuss the financing relationship.And none of these. Not only that, Hongzhi even felt insecure about Miyagawa, who is the executive of the local monopoly group company.For example, I have called him several times recently, but the executive is always away.He was busy with official duties, so there was nothing wrong with him, but he never responded to his request to the other party to call again after returning to the company.It was not like this before, and every call must be answered correctly.After going out and returning, you must say something like "I was not there just now, how rude you are" and so on. Executive Miyagawa was avoiding himself, and Hongzhi felt uneasy.After thinking about it again, this is impossible!The other party was not the manager of the leather bag company, but Keijiro Tochi, let alone the past, is now considered to be a top-notch in the financial world, and all of its subsidiaries are registered.He is not a budding chaebol, but has already dominated the Japanese economic circle.It is impossible for his routine to plot against himself, and his words are completely credible.And Hongzhi did meet Do Keijiro, although he didn't talk directly. However, the feeling of uneasiness still lingers. Will Tokuyama be manipulating behind Miyagawa's executive?From a comprehensive analysis point of view, it is not impossible.When it comes to clues, it is actually a projection of Hongzhi's own strategy. Perhaps Tokuyama has already realized his ambition to cross Tokuyama and directly approach Shitu.Executive Miyagawa was the only person who knew about this matter, and he had managed to cut off the channel of leaking the secret.Then it is possible that Miyagawa informed Tokugawa.Can't imagine, how is this possible?Miyagawa is so gentle and honest, with the demeanor of a British gentleman, would he commit such a vicious act? There is another worry, which is more terrifying than Miyagawa's betrayal of Tokuyama, and that is the will of Do Keijiro.Shitu is of course the company's number one leader, with absolute authority, his words can be said to be final, no matter how painstakingly his subordinates draw up plans, he can turn them into waste paper with just one word.Therefore, even the powerful directors have to carefully observe their appearance. What will happen if Miyagawa's strategy of participating in the Eastern Tourism Development Project is denied by the earth?The illusory company of Oriental Travel will go bankrupt immediately.Miyagawa is avoiding Hongzhi now, maybe it is because Tu has expressed his attitude, and he is ashamed to face others. Hongzhi was very annoyed by this, Xinzi's natal family's 60 million, and bank financing of 20 million, will the 80 million funds be in vain?Or can it really achieve the goal of making a lot of money?Hong Zhi broke out in a cold sweat. He must do everything possible to find out the truth of the situation, and he is on the verge of shattered hopes and ruined reputation.It is only said that Dongdu Mutual Bank's 20 million loan will also be held accountable.Not only that, but there are even more dire consequences. The huge sum of money raised by a small company called Oriental Travel has resulted in bad debts, and they have to bear criminal responsibility. The most serious thing is to be accused of malfeasance.Recently, there have been strong disapproving glances at mutual banks. There are more and more ominous omens. If Tokuyama sees through his intentions, he will turn around and demolish himself.This guy can do anything, but the result is that a huge sum of 80 million was defrauded.The uneasiness grew stronger. The truth of the situation must be ascertained.After thinking about it alone, Hongzhi felt restless.Not only is Zhi Lizi unable to deal with it, even she has reached the point where life and death are at stake.Hongzhi made up his mind to thoroughly investigate Tokuyama's responsibility. Where did the 80 million financing go?The usage is unknown, which is grounds for accountability.Hongzhi called from the bank. Tokuyama's voice. "Hello! Thank you for taking care of me!" Deshan was very enthusiastic.Lately, though, this enthusiasm has become increasingly hypocritical. "I want to talk to you with all my heart about one thing tonight." "Ah..." The other party seemed to have noticed something. "Okay! What are we talking about?" you still need to ask?Of course it's the company's business.But wait.Now that the other party asked about the content of the conversation, whether besides the company, he still cares about Nobuko.The memory of his wife's tragic scene that night a month ago came back, and a dim flame appeared before his eyes. "I want to talk about the company's affairs and ask for advice on the future development policy. I don't know how it is going. Can we have dinner together and listen to your introduction?" "That's good!" Deshan agreed immediately. "Where is the location? How about, let me choose a familiar place?" "No, I will invite you this time. You always invited me before." "You're welcome...then, I'd rather be respectful than obedient!" "Did you know that there is a 'Linsenso' restaurant along the Tama River?" "..." Deshan suddenly fell silent. "Hello!" Hiroshi called out. "Hey, hey!" "do you know?" "...Ah, 'Linquanzhuang' I know." Maybe there was a ghost in his heart, and Deshan's voice suddenly became thinner. The meeting time was half past six, and Koji Shiokawa arrived thirty minutes earlier.He was let to the large living room on the second floor overlooking the Tama River. The sash windows had been completely new, and it was the first time for Hongzhi to treat guests here.I have been here with other women a long time ago, and this is also the house that provides a place for trysts. "You try to let the visitors know that I often do business here." He quickly handed the waitress a thousand-yuan bill. "Yes. As ordered." "My surname is Yanchuan, do you know? It doesn't matter if you call me Yanchuan." "Oh!" the woman laughed. "Also, there will be a guest in a while, you should remember his appearance well. Not only you, try to let as many waiters see him as possible." "Why is that?" The waitress was puzzled. "A month ago, this person may have come to this small single house in the courtyard. I have some personal matters, and I would like to ask you to identify this person." "what……" "Look! Speaking of cottages, you know what's there, don't you?" "Ah..." The waitress grinned and nodded again. After such exhortations, he chatted with the waitress for a while. "The guests are coming!" A young waitress guides the guests in. "Hello!" Tokuyama stepped onto the tatami mat with a calm and graceful attitude. "I'm sorry to disturb you during your busy schedule. Come on, please sit down." Hongzhi let Tokuyama take the upper seat. "This place is really nice!" Deshan pretended to be here for the first time, looking at the river from the open window. "Do you come here often?" Deshan asked nonchalantly, but his eyes were focused. "Yes! The river fish in summer is very delicious." Hong Zhi turned to look at the waitress, as if to say, hey, isn't it? "Mr. Shiokawa is a regular customer here." The waiter who got the tip echoed without losing the opportunity. "Ah, is it?" Koji catches a complex shadow on Tokuyama's face. Deshan guessed the reason why Hongzhi asked him to come here. He said on the phone during the day that he wanted to know the progress of the company's project. Deshan thought that Hongzhi had seen through his strategy and wanted to expose it face to face.Or use it as an excuse to pursue what happened that night with his wife. However, this happened a month ago, and the delay was too long.However, it is also possible that Nobuko did not tell this matter quickly, but only spoke about it after hesitating and making up his mind.If so, a month is just the right time.When Hongzhi clearly appointed to meet here, Tokuyama judged that it must be for Nobuko.The basis is that it is now late autumn, and there is no reason to come to this kind of riverside restaurant to meet.Hongzhi chooses the restaurant where he and Nobuko came to host a banquet, and his intention is obvious.He must be bringing himself into the arena of memory, with all his sarcastic attacks. This living room, as well as the small single room that I glanced at when I entered the courtyard, are all memories I share with Nobuko.Here, I had dinner with the wife of the man in front of me.In the small single room, I hugged the woman vigorously, but when I was about to accomplish something, the woman broke free and ran away without putting on my shoes.A moment of negligence, lost a rare opportunity.The feeling of Nobuko's skin at that time is still seared in his heart. Tokuyama did not refuse Hongzhi's invitation to meet here. Hongzhi was clearly here to challenge, and as a man, he had to stand up to the challenge and not back down.The scheme of conspiring with Executive Director Miyagawa has been successful, and it is only a matter of time before it is implemented, and tonight is a good time.Before Tokuyama came here, he had already called Miyagawa to discuss the next move.In Tokuyama's view, Koji Shiokawa, who set him up, was particularly kind.He pretends to be smart and runs around, but in fact, he is just a rich young man who doesn't know much about the world. The food and drink are on the table. "I have a lot of things to report to you." Deshan spoke first. "The progress of the project is very complicated. I wanted to sort it out and report later, so I delayed it." You go first!Hongzhi thought. "Really?" 这一回合暂且放他过去，弘治装出去洗手间的样子离席。楼梯下聚集了三、四个女服务员，刚才得了小费的那个站在前头，等着他下来。 “先生，肯定是他，上次同一个夫人进了小独屋。” “嗯。”尽管已有思想准备，但此时仍觉血冲上头。 “不过，那位夫人很快就逃脱了。”女服务员告诉他。
