After hearing what Sonoko said, Kōsuke suddenly felt a little confused.
The compensation agreement was finalized at noon today, and the decision to have Uncle Mori sign the agreement on his behalf was also made at noon today.
There should only be three people who know about these two things: him, Uncle Mori, and the zoo.
At that time, Ran and Sonoko should have been attending classes at Teitan High School, and there was no way they could have heard his phone call with Sonoko.
Logically speaking, Xiaolan should not know that he and the park have reached a consensus, so their understanding of the matter should still be at the stage of "discussing compensation terms".
But there are a few things that Yuanzi is saying right now.
1. Sonoko knew that he and the park management had reached a preliminary agreement.
2. Sonoko also knew that he was planning to have Uncle Mori sign the compensation agreement.
"Perhaps she guessed it?"
Kōyū felt that his idea wasn't impossible, since he couldn't read minds and couldn't be sure what Sonoko was thinking at this moment. Perhaps Sonoko had really guessed these things.
With these doubts in mind, Kwangyu decided to test the waters.
He deliberately feigned a blank expression, his eyes full of innocence, and asked, "What compensation agreement?"
"Hmm?" Sonoko frowned, looking surprised, and asked, "As a victim, hasn't the Sonoko administration contacted you?"
Guangyou shook his head and said, "No."
In an instant, Sonoko's expression changed drastically, a hint of anger flashing between her brows. She said, "That's not right, they clearly..."
Before she could finish speaking, Sonoko realized something and quickly shut up, refusing to continue.
But it was too late. Guangyou had roughly guessed what she was talking about.
Sonoko didn't just guess; she genuinely knew about it.
Moreover, she definitely had contact with the park management.
That's undeniable, otherwise she wouldn't have looked angry just now.
Clearly, the park had told her, directly or indirectly, that the agreement had been finalized.
Considering the change in the park's attitude, Guangyou suddenly thought of another possibility.
The truth seems to be coming to light.
He looked at Sonoko, who was trying to change the subject, and asked, "Sonoko-neechan, shouldn't you get involved this time?"
"Kuangyou, what are you saying? I don't understand anything."
Sonoko scratched her head and chuckled awkwardly, looking completely bewildered.
Her reaction was exactly what Mitsuhiro had expected. He had already guessed that Sonoko wouldn't admit it, otherwise she would have told him about it long ago.
"Sister Sonoko, if you lie, your nose will grow longer."
Sonoko still chuckled awkwardly and stubbornly insisted, "But I didn't lie."
Really?
Kōyū stared at Sonoko expressionlessly and said, "If you honestly admit it, we can still be good friends. If you don't..."
Sonoko asked curiously, "What if you don't admit it?"
"We may not admit it, but of course we're still good friends."
Guangyou chuckled, then abruptly changed the subject, "But I still hope you can admit it, because there shouldn't be so many lies between friends."
Upon hearing this, Sonoko was suddenly taken aback, silently repeating Kōyū's words over and over in her mind.
After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said to Guangyou, "Okay, I admit, I did stand up for you this time."
"You should have admitted it sooner, that would have been great. I wouldn't blame you, Sonoko-neechan."
When Kōyū saw Sonoko finally admit it, he felt a warmth rising in his heart, but also a bit of curiosity.
He was curious about how Sonoko had stood up for him.
"Actually, it only cost a little money."
After they opened up, Yuanzi became less reserved. He waved his hand and said, "It's not much, don't mind it."
How much did it cost?
This answer was exactly what Guangyou expected.
Those money-grubbing parasites will naturally bow down to money.
Now, Guangyou is curious about exactly how much money was spent to make those greedy people lower their lowly heads.
"A few hundred thousand... maybe."
Yuanzi paused for a moment, then said definitively, "It only cost a little over ten thousand."
Kōyū raised an eyebrow and asked skeptically, "Yen yen?"
Sonoko nodded and replied, "Yes, yen."
"Do you think I'm kidding me? You think a few hundred thousand yen can change those people's attitudes? I'm not that naive."
Kōyū was so angry he laughed. Tens of thousands of yen only amounted to a little over ten thousand yuan.
This amount is definitely not enough to fill those people's bottomless pits.
Even if the unit is changed to US dollars, it's unlikely.
If this plan succeeds, the recovered funds will amount to hundreds of millions.
Those cunning and unscrupulous merchants would never do something as trivial as picking up a sesame seed while losing a watermelon.
Upon hearing this, Sonoko looked Kōyū up and down, then suddenly burst out laughing, saying, "I'm just fooling a child! No, I'm not fooling you, but you really are a child!"
“…”
Guangyou rubbed his forehead, momentarily at a loss for words.
After a while, the bald man looked up at Sonoko and said in a serious tone, "Sister Sonoko, you're still lying."
"I didn't..."
Before she could finish speaking, Kōyū interrupted her: "Sonoko-neechan, too many lies will only hurt your relationship. Don't worry about so much."
"Okay, this time it cost a lot of money, but it wasn't a small amount either."
Sonoko glanced at Kōyū, her voice trailing off, "It only cost a dozen or so..."
"What? Speak louder!"
The sound was so faint that even when Guangyou got close, he couldn't hear it clearly; it was exactly like the buzzing of a mosquito.
"It only cost a little over a billion..."
