Chapter 082 Mountain Villa (Part 3)
After Koizumi Kon left, Tian Chengyouxiong sneered and looked at him with disdain.
The young man with glasses who was very enthusiastic towards Koizumi Kon didn't expect that their relationship was so bad, and he felt a little embarrassed.
However, Nanami Koizumi was very understanding. Not only did she comfort him, she also said to Mima Toyama, "I'm sorry, Jin has always been like this. However, he is still very serious about his work. Please don't worry that he doesn't care about you."
Upon hearing this, Toyama Mima smiled and said, "Editor Koizumi is indeed very responsible. Thanks to him running offline channels, my book is selling so well this time."
Koizumi Nanami's smile froze for a moment, but then quickly returned to normal. She smiled and nodded, saying, "That's just his style."
Then Yuanshan Meizhen ended the conversation by making an excuse that she had to go to bed early because she had to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise tomorrow.
Back in the villa, Dong Yexi said, "Your editing situation seems a bit difficult."
Toyama Mima said, "I just found out about this, too. But I'd rather trust my own eyes than a senior who's smiling but hiding a knife behind his face. I've worked with Editor Koizumi for so long, and I have no complaints about him."
Dong Yexi nodded: "It's good that you know it in your heart."
Everyone agreed on a time to get up tomorrow morning and returned to their rooms. Dong Yexi lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep.
I knew an accident would happen, but I didn't know the specific circumstances, which made me feel very anxious.
He lay awake, not knowing how long, when he suddenly heard a door open downstairs. He immediately climbed out of bed, quietly opened the French window on the balcony, and peered down through the fence to see Koizumi Kon opening the gate to the villa and walking toward the nearby mountains.
Dong Yexi was shocked. It was so late, where was he going?
Dong Yexi thought about it, picked up his cell phone and flashlight, quietly went downstairs, and followed behind Koizumi Jin.
Fortunately, there was wind at night, making the leaves rustle. If he controlled his footsteps, no one would hear him.
However, the mountain road was difficult to walk on at night. He was afraid of being discovered by Koizumi Kon, so he didn't dare to turn on the light and could only move forward in the dark.
Not long after, a figure appeared in front of him. It was too dark in the woods, and Dong Yexi could only see the outline of a woman.
Koizumi Kon walked quickly up to the man. After a few words, the two began to argue.
Dong Yexi was too far away to hear their conversation. He moved forward and broke a branch. As luck would have it, the wind died down, and a crisp, crackling sound was distinct, instantly halting the two men's quarrel.
"who?"
When Higashino Hiroshi heard this voice, he confirmed that the person who met with Koizumi Kon in the middle of the night was Koizumi Nanami.
"Come out! I see you!" Nanami Koizumi said sternly.
Dong Yexi squatted in the bushes, motionless, silently rolling his eyes. Kids wouldn't be so deceitful when playing hide-and-seek these days.
Unexpectedly, he was not tricked out, but another person was.
"I didn't expect your talent was all fake." Judging from the voice, it should be Tian Cheng Youxiong.
Dong Yexi didn't hear what they were arguing about and didn't quite understand.
Tian Chengyouxiong continued, "I thought you were losing your talent because of your age, but I didn't expect you started out by plagiarizing. And you even plagiarized your former editor's ideas. Koizumi Kon, if you have this talent, why don't you write it yourself? Why are you still praising this idiot?"
Koizumi remained silent.
Koizumi Nanami took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I didn't plagiarize."
Tian Chengyouxiong asked back, "Ah? Did I hear it wrong? Your first work, the best-selling one, wasn't Koizumi Kon's idea?"
At this point, Koizumi Kon said, "I just provided an idea. An idea is not the same as creation. As an editor, you should know that."
Tian Cheng Youxiong looked puzzled: "You are still speaking for her? What is your relationship with her?"
"She did complete the work independently, but she wrote it before me," Koizumi Kon whispered. "If I had the ability to write it, I wouldn't have been an editor forever."
"Huh? Since you think so, then what's the point of your quarrel...?" Tian Chengyouxiong expressed his confusion.
Koizumi Nanami lifted her hair and said, "I haven't had any inspiration lately. I want him to give me some more advice."
Tian Chengyouxiong commented: "You are really shameless. He is the former editor, and he still cares about you?"
Koizumi nodded: "So I refused."
Not only Tian Chengyouxiong was speechless, but Dong Yexi who was hiding aside was also speechless.
That’s it?
He secretly followed someone in the middle of the night, and this is all he heard?
Tian Chengyouxiong said, "When you said you wanted Koizumi Kon to steal the ideas of his new staff, I could still praise you. But now... I think you're just like that."
Nanami Koizumi's expression twisted instantly.
Just when Dong Yexi felt that the time he had wasted was not worth it and was about to retreat, his system suddenly updated the task.
【Upcoming Event】: Someone attacked and fell into the valley in the mountain forest scenic area
【Weapon】: Hand
Cause of death: Excessive blood loss
[Suspects]: Tomoo Tadashi, Nanami Koizumi, Kon Koizumi
[Death Countdown]: 00:14:59.59
Dong Yexi was so frightened that he stood still.
No, even if this kind of thing was overheard, it wouldn't be necessary to kill the person to silence him, right?
On the other side, Koizumi Jin said again: "How do you know she didn't think about it?"
Tian Chengyouxiong glanced at Koizumi Nanami and said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? It's just a creative idea. It's not like I copied someone else's book. Whoever publishes it first gets it."
Koizumi Kon sneered: "So you two are the perfect match. How disgusting." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Tian Chengyouxiong shouted at his back: "Hey! Didn't you say the same thing just now?"
And Koizumi Nanami, for some unknown reason, was stimulated and immediately lunged forward, pushing Koizumi Kon's back. Koizumi Kon was caught off guard and rolled down the hillside.
Higashino Hi:!!!
"Hey!" Tian Chengyouxiong was startled and immediately ran over to look down. Then he looked at Koizumi Nanami in disbelief. "Why did you push him down? He didn't say anything, did he?"
Nanami Koizumi said frantically, "What right does he have to say that to me? Didn't I just borrow an idea from him? I wrote all those words! Only I could write that book so well! He can't write, and he doesn't allow me to write?! I even used his last name as a pen name, just to give him a little comfort! How could he say that to me!"
Tian Chengyouxiong didn't understand, but when he saw Koizumi Nanami's crazy look, he took a step back in fear.
Then, Nanami Koizumi turned her accusation against him: "You too! Why do you look down on me?! Didn't I give you a share of the profits from the books I sold? The poor sales are all because you didn't properly explore the channels, and you blame me for my poor writing? How could my writing be worse than that of a newcomer? This is all your fault!!!"
Tian Cheng Youxiong wanted to refute, but was afraid of irritating her again, so he could only say, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I didn't do a good job of promoting you. It's getting late, shall we go back and rest?"
Koizumi Nanami gasped for breath and shook her head frantically: "I'm not going back! I'm not going back!"
Tian Cheng Youxiong said, "Then I'll go back first." Then he turned around and ran without saying a word.
This woman is crazy! I can't be her editor anymore. I'm going to apply for a transfer when I get home!
However, when Tian Chengyouxiong started running, Xiaoquan Nanami also ran behind him, which frightened him and he immediately quickened his pace. However, Xiaoquan Nanami seemed to be very familiar with the mountain road and walked on it as if it were flat ground. She soon caught up with Tian Chengyouxiong.
Tian Chengyouxiong had no choice but to stop and restrain her.
Logically speaking, the difference in strength between adult men and women was huge, and Nanami Koizumi definitely couldn't defeat a man who was a head taller than her. However, she suddenly took out an electric shock device and delivered a burst of electricity to Tian Chengyouxiong's abdomen, instantly rendering him unable to move.
When Tian Chengyouxiong was about to fall to the ground, Koizumi Nanami pushed him hard and pushed him down the hillside.
Dong Yexi: !!! Holy crap! This girl is a ruthless person, killing two people in such a short time! Although he couldn't figure out why she killed them, he understood that it was because he saw her killing process that he was in danger.
So, Koizumi Nanami has already discovered him? !
Then, Koizumi Nanami regained her composure, turned her head to look at the place where Higashino Hi was hiding, and said, "Don't hide anymore, come out quickly. I know you are there."
Her tone was very calm, but Dong Yexi was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He held his breath, his heartbeat accelerated, and he didn't dare to move at all.
"What? Do you still want me to treat you?" Koizumi Nanami said as she walked towards this side.
Dong Yexi was suddenly panicked. He didn't know what to do, so he could only put on the labels of "Invisible Man" and "Ugly" together, hoping that it would help.
Then, something magical happened.
Nanami Koizumi walked to the bushes, but walked straight past him, completely ignoring him.
She searched the bushes but saw no one. She muttered to herself, "Strange, there really is no one."
She walked out of the bushes and left.
Dong Yexi remained motionless.
Sure enough, Nanami Koizumi made a comeback and turned around again.
Afterwards, she looked back twice to confirm that no one was there before she really left.
But Dong Yexi still didn't dare to move. He waited until the system prompted [Successfully escaped death threat] before he breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.
It's really scary!
He wiped his forehead, his hands wet with sweat. After relaxing, he suddenly remembered there were two people below, and immediately pulled out his phone to call the police. He didn't know how high the slope was, and it was too dark to see clearly, so it was too dangerous to go down alone to rescue them.
Dong Yexi called out softly twice to the people below, but there was no response. He didn't know if the two men could be saved.
Just as he was thinking of going back to find someone to help, he suddenly felt a push from behind and rolled down the hillside.
Before landing, he looked back and saw the smiling face of Koizumi Nanami.
Damn, this woman actually came back four times! Are you Zhao Zilong? Why not just go in and out seven times?!
Dong Yexi rolled down the hillside for a long distance with his hands protecting his head. When the slope gradually became gentle, he found the right moment, grabbed a tree trunk, and finally stopped.
He sat up against a thin tree trunk and checked his body. Only his palms were burning with pain and bleeding from being rubbed. Fortunately, he didn't hit a tree on the road just now, otherwise his leg might have been broken again.
He recalled Koizumi Nanami's expression just now and couldn't help but shudder.
This is too scary! Even though he was so cautious, he still fell into the trap. This woman is too scary! And he doesn't even know why she kills people!
This time, the system taught him a new lesson. The absence of a death notice didn't mean he wouldn't be attacked!
Dong Yexi leaned against the tree trunk, looked up at the night sky in silence.
It feels like the days are getting harder and harder.
