In the hall of the mountain villa.
Takahashi Ryoichi sat down at the table with his head down.
He clenched his fists and said nothing.
Everyone else was called here by Ayako and Sonoko.
At this time, they sat on both sides of the long table.
Ayako finished talking.
Everyone was shocked!
Everyone didn't expect that in the seemingly happy party, there was a murderer who wanted to kill. This murderer was the honest and honest Takahashi Ryoichi who had been busy working hard all the time!
And the first one he attacked was the second lady of the Suzuki consortium, this is simply insane!
The well-informed newspaperman Hiroki Kadotani broke out in a cold sweat. If something happened to Sonoko, would the Suzuki consortium take care of any methods and evidence? Except for Ayako and Xia Ye brought by her, everyone present would probably be censored. The furious Suzuki consortium sank to Dongdu Bay!
Takahashi is sick!
Fortunately, his murder plan was seen through!
Otherwise, everyone will definitely have to cool off together!
Everyone else was also secretly glad that nothing happened, only Chikako Ikeda subconsciously looked at Suzuki Ayako, seeing her nod helplessly, with a complicated expression, a look of bewilderment appeared on her originally gorgeous and cold face!
But she soon picked herself up and asked in a low voice:
"Takahashi!"
"These preparations you have made
"Actually, you are going to kill me, right?"
"What? "Eight Twenty"!"
The others were shocked again. Ota Satoshi and Kakutani Hiroki looked at Chikako Ikeda who smiled reluctantly. For these outsiders, the series of things that happened made them a little unclear!
"That's right!"
Takahashi, who sat obediently in his seat, spoke!
He stared at Tomoko Ikeda viciously, his voice was cold and filled with deep hatred:
"I really want to kill you! Chikako Ikeda, you hypocritical and shameless woman! Atsuko was killed by you! I want to kill you to avenge Atsuko!"
Speaking of which.
Takahashi Ryoichi was emotional.
Gritting his teeth with a hideous face!
I'm about to stand up from the chair and jump at Chikako!
"cough!"
Xia Ye coughed lightly.
Ryoichi Takahashi's burly body trembled suddenly, and he lay down on the table in embarrassment, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. This scene made everyone who had never seen Xia Ye's methods gasp, and looked at his eyes inexplicably. some awe.
"I knew it~"
Chikako Ikeda sighed, as if she was regretting everything caused by this unnecessary misunderstanding, but immediately she straightened her face again, and said with disgust in her eyes:
"You don't know about Atsuko, it's normal to hate me and want to kill me, but—— Sonoko doesn't even know Atsuko, but you can attack him without hesitation, which shows that the so-called revenge is just wishful thinking. Now you It's nothing but a murderous demon whose mind has been overwhelmed by hatred!"
"you shut up!"
Takahashi Ryoichi was still sitting on the chair.
But he can only be incompetent and furious, and dare not make any hostile actions at all!
"Whoever let her see my disguise, in order for my plan to go smoothly, I can only sacrifice her!"
"Takahashi you!"
The other two men couldn't believe it.
Takahashi Ryoichi, who has always been submissive and honest, is ready to kill the innocent Sonoko just because of such a small matter, and judging by his appearance, it seems reasonable
Of course!
It seems that Chikako is right, no matter what happened to Atsuko, at least Takahashi himself is not as noble as he said~
"Even you guys won't believe me?!"
Ryoichi Takahashi looked at the suspicious eyes of his former companion, and his mentality, which was already on the verge of collapse, exploded. He roared and said:
"Ikeda plagiarized Atsuko's "Sky Color Country" which she worked so hard to write, which made her heartbroken and disappointed, and finally committed suicide! You bastards don't even know how painful she is!
"Really? Chikako!"
Satoshi Ota and Hiroki Kakutani were only in shock tonight, and they looked at Chikako Ikeda with complicated expressions, and saw that although there was sadness on her delicate cheeks, there was a clear conscience in her dark eyes!
"really---"
Chikako Ikeda sighed:
"My "Blue Kingdom" is adapted from Atsuko's "Sky Color Kingdom", I don't deny this—"
"am I right!"
"She admitted it herself!"
Takahashi Ryoichi looked excited, and shouted eagerly at Satoshi Ota and Hiroki Kadotani. He is now emotionally broken, and he really hopes to gain the support of his former companions to prove that what he did today is to uphold justice and avenge the dead Atsuko.
However--
The remaining two men have normal three views.
Leaving aside whether the plagiarism is true or not, killing people is absolutely wrong anyway, and Ryoichi Takahashi also hurt the innocent Sonoko because of his personal grievances. Such behavior, even Satoshi Ota, who is nothing but handsome, despises him very much and doesn't bother to care about him.
Their attention is now focused on Zhijiazi, and they are ready to listen to her explanation. If Zhijiazi's "The Blue Kingdom" really plagiarized Atsuko's work, "then Atsuko's suicide is indeed part of her responsibility!
"Murderer!"
Ryoichi Takahashi saw that he could not get support from Satoshi Ota and Hiroki Kakutani, so he turned to Chikako Ikeda, his eyes were vicious and his face was crazy:
It was because of you that Atsuko committed suicide, and I want you to avenge Atsuko! I want to cut off your head, cut off your hands and feet, and let you experience the despair that Atsuko felt before he died, you damned woman!"
"Takahashi!"
Ota Satoshi and Kakutani Hiroki's expressions changed drastically.
Even Ayako and Chikako Ikeda, who had already guessed the truth, looked at Takahashi Ryoichi with incredible eyes!
He can actually say such cruel and vicious words, and when he thought of the sharp ax he used to attack Sonoko, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill, could it be that he was not just talking at all, but really Ready to kill Chikako like this!?
"enough!"
There was a low shout of anger in the living room.
Everyone followed the sound.
It turned out that it was Suzuki Ayako who had never lost her temper in the four years of university and had a gentle personality like water.
I saw her slightly opened her eyes, the light blue beautiful pupils were full of anger, and her whole body exuded a cold and terrifying aura.
Including Ryoichi Takahashi, everyone was intimidated by her aura, and the living room fell silent!
Xia Ye chuckled and nodded slightly.
As expected, she is indeed a daughter raised by Tomoko herself. Although the aura of a superior person on this body is a bit immature, it is somewhat similar to her mother, which makes her look a bit inviolable and unique!
"Ayako, do you want to intervene?"
Ryoichi Takahashi looked at Suzuki Ayako's eyes that changed from tenderness to indifference, and was a little scared for a moment, but when he thought of his "just" behavior, he became confident again:
"Ayako, because Chikako is your friend, so you have to protect her, right? Atsuko is dead, don't you feel any guilt?"
"Takahashi..."
Seeing Ryoichi Takahashi struggling to argue, Suzuki Ayako's beautiful eyes flashed with pity, and she sighed slightly:
"Actually, all of this is your misunderstanding. You have too little contact with things, so you don't know at all. The so-called plagiarism did not exist from the beginning!"
"impossible!"
Ryoichi Takahashi denied it outright:
"I have read Atsuko's "The Kingdom of Color in the Sky", which was specially shown to me by Atsuko! Later, Zhijiazi's debut novel "The Blue Kingdom" was published, and I knew at a glance that it was "The Kingdom of Color in the Sky" by Atsuko! Although It's been altered, but I'm sure I can't get it wrong!"
"You're right~"
Suzuki Ayako said lightly:
""The Kingdom of Blue" is indeed an adaptation of "The Kingdom of Color in the Sky", but it is not plagiarism. Atsuko personally gave the work to Chikako, please accept it!"
"hehe!"
Takahashi Ryoichi sneered upon hearing this:
"Ayako, do you think everyone is a three-year-old child! Atsuko told me that "The Kingdom of Sky Color" is her painstaking effort, how could she give others a work that condensed her own painstaking efforts, you have to protect it Chikako just said, don't be so hypocritical!
Kakutani Hiroki and Ota Satoshi also showed doubts...
Although they believe in Ayako's character, but as Ryoichi Takahashi said, there is no reason for ordinary people to give others their hard-won works!
Xia Ye was equally curious.
This case was completely different from the original plot, and even he didn't know where it would lead, so he listened with great interest.
Questions about Ryoichi Takahashi.
Suzuki Ayako still looks calm:
"Indeed, most people would not give away works that contain their hard work to others, but—what if it is to protect something more important? If that kind of thing is infinitely more important than this "Kingdom of Heavenly Father", Atsuko will make it What choice?"
"Ayako, what is it?"
Hiroki Kakutani couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and the matter of Chikako's "plagiarism" turned out to be reversed, which made him ask impatiently.
"Takahashi—"
Suzuki Ayako did not answer Kakutani Hiroki's question, but looked at Takahashi Ryoichi and asked a question that seemed to be off topic:
"Do you know Atsuko's family situation?"
"Family status?"
Takahashi Ryoichi was taken aback, thought for a while and answered honestly:
"I only know that her parents run a factory. They seem to be quite rich. She also has a younger brother who goes to school in her hometown. We only met once at her funeral...
"really!"
Suzuki Ayako sighed:
"You really know very little, no wonder there is such a big meeting!"
"Actually, you're right. Dunzi's family did run a factory, and they used to be quite rich. However, after a major accident occurred in their factory, they were first fined a large sum of money, and then they were fined because of workers' compensation. The problem has exhausted of my savings, and this is not enough, and if there is no money to compensate, I will face prosecution!"
"Atsuko was very anxious, so she found Zhijiazi, and wanted to sell all the copyrights of her "Sky Color Country" to Zhijiazi for two million yen, but Zhijiazi didn't agree, she knew, two million yen It was just a drop in the bucket for the affairs of the Atsuko family, and later——”
"Let me tell you the rest!"
Chikako, who had been silent all this time, said lightly:
"Actually, I can still take out the two million yen at that time, but just like Ayako said, two million yen is not enough for the affairs of Atsuko's family, so I took her to find Ayako!"
"Ayako, do you know all these things?"
Satoshi Ota and Hiroki Kakutani were just as confused as Ryo Takahashi, feeling as if they had entered a fake university and a fake society, yet they didn’t know anything!
"That's right~"
Suzuki Ayako nodded.
Chikako Ikeda continued:
"After Ayako found out, she gave Atsuko 20 million yen without hesitation. Originally, we didn't want the book "Kingdom of Color in the Sky", but Atsuko was very stubborn and insisted on giving it to us!"
"It also said that if the work is given to others, you can no longer have your own signature. Ayako and I persuaded for a long time, and finally she said that if we don't agree, she will not accept the money. We can only listen to her!".
