Chapter 219 Bondage

The news that Kondo Shinhiko swore to heaven that he was not lying, but the next second he was crushed to the ground by the collapsed golden screen and was seriously injured and hospitalized caused a heated discussion in Japan.

Moreover, he was the one who caused the golden screen to shake by hitting it himself, and coincidentally the golden screen fell down the next moment after he finished speaking... This made the Japanese, who believe that all things have spirits, wonder: this golden screen was the one used by Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Tomokazu when they announced their good news, and it took much more effort to make it than an ordinary golden screen.

Generally speaking, the golden screens used to announce happy news are all smooth and straight without any decorative carvings. However, because Tomokazu Miura really valued Momoe Yamaguchi, he paid extra money to change the material of the ordinary solid-color screen. The low-key yet luxurious dark patterns on the screen are complemented by the hollow patterns carved on the base. It is unique and ingenious, and it shows more importance than ordinary golden screens.

Because the base is designed with hollow carvings to increase its beauty, the base has also been specially made with increased quality to maintain the stability of the golden screen.

It can be said that compared with ordinary gold screens, this specially customized gold screen is more stable: because the base is heavier, the center of gravity is heavier than that of ordinary gold screens, just like two large trees that appear to be the same on the surface, and the "roots" of this specially made gold screen are thicker and deeper.

So, can Kondo Shinhiko be able to "knock down" such a golden screen - can we really say that this is not retribution but coincidence?

Nowadays, the level of superstition in Japan is not much better than that in Hong Kong. Upon hearing such a strange piece of news appearing in broad daylight, many people were immediately attracted.

This shift in attention made Yamaguchi Momoe, who had announced the good news earlier, breathe a sigh of relief: the Japanese people's requirements for artists, especially female artists, are so high and so demanding that it cannot be summed up in one sentence.

Even though the reason for her retirement at the peak of her career was that she sacrificed for her family, which was taken for granted in the eyes of the Japanese, there were still many fans who loved her or Miura Tomokazu deeply, crying and saying that they had failed everyone's expectations by doing so, and that they felt that their lives had lost hope...

There are many examples of Japanese people having accidents caused by psychological problems. If there are really reports that fans are disappointed with the world because of this, they will be forced to apologize to the public even if they have nothing to do with it.

Normally, it is a taboo if one's important event is overshadowed by others, but Yamaguchi Baihui was not angry at all for this reason.

On the contrary, the appearance of Akina Nakamori and Shinhiko Kondo, who seemed to be involved in a mysterious incident, attracted most people's attention, allowing Momoe Yamaguchi to prepare for her upcoming wedding in a peaceful and low-key manner.

As for Seiko Matsuda, her agent Konaka also relaxed after reading the follow-up news of the reception: Seiko Matsuda is a person who pays great attention to her image. She usually behaves quite reserved in front of others, and her comments during interviews are more official than other female idols of the same generation. Some people who don't like her think she is pretentious and even give her the derogatory nickname of "mom idol".

Compared to China, which is extremely fond of stars with perfect personalities, other places prefer stars with some insignificant flaws. They think that artists with such flaws and shortcomings are real enough.

Therefore, when someone like Seiko Matsuda appears to be able to do everything with ease and full of confidence, as if she is infinitely close to perfection, they will think she is pretending and fake.

In other words, Matsuda Seiko's move to clarify the matter for her friend and rival without fear of affecting her popularity made a large number of people who previously disliked her reserved and reserved attitude feel that they saw the "real side" of this young female idol who was impulsive. It was as if the impeccable statue finally had the touch of human life and came back to life from her false and perfect personality.

It can be said that after Seiko Matsuda's appearance this time, people who like her naturally love her for her loyalty in standing up for her friends, and most of those who dislike her have turned from haters to passers-by or even fans because of her noble behavior of sacrificing herself for the benefit of others, which immediately consolidates her position as the number one among female artists of the same generation.

Akina Nakamori, who had the courage to point out the darkness, gained a lot of attention and fans. In addition, Seiko Matsuda, who had always been regarded as her mortal enemy, took the initiative to turn enemies into friends. After a period of quarrels and discussions, the fans of both sides who couldn't stand it were separated from the original organization, leaving behind a large number of indifferent and sincere fans of both sides.

While Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori were performing the "one plus one is greater than two" consolidation operation, the hospital quickly gave out Kondo Shinhiko's injury report: it said that because he struggled too much when he fell to the ground and was pressed harder, Kondo Shinhiko had varying degrees of severe but serious injuries and compression injuries on both his hands and feet. Although his life was not in great danger, due to the severity of the injuries, even if he was cured and discharged from the hospital, he would still have sequelae such as uncoordinated movements of his hands and feet that affected his normal activities.

How can a person who is half-crippled but very close to paralysis be an artist for J-house, where singing and dancing are very demanding?

The worst thing was that he couldn't ask anyone for compensation - after all, the number of people with cameras, video cameras and various related professions present at the time was no less than four figures.

More than a thousand people witnessed him pounding the golden screen in a rage, only to be crushed by the collapsed screen. How can he whitewash himself and find someone to blame?

Besides, not only can he not clear himself or shirk the blame, but when Kondo Shinhiko wakes up, he will have to face the lawyer sent by Zhao Liying. By then, the lawyer in charge of this issue will accuse him of harassment, intimidation and other crimes.

In the office, Zhao Liying put aside the information sent back by the private investigator and looked at Akina Nakamori who was sitting in front of him with a complicated look: "Did you do this?"

"Yes." Akina Nakamori answered honestly, "I used to do odd jobs for my family, so I know a little bit about carpentry..."

"If this will cause you trouble and trouble, I will take the initiative to terminate the contract and surrender to the police!" Nakamori Akina bowed deeply, "I'm sorry."

"Now that it has happened, there is no point in saying 'I'm sorry'." Zhao Liying put the information into a file bag and handed it to Akina Nakamori. "To be honest, I'm even a little glad that you were able to tamper with the golden screen without anyone knowing..."

Seeing that Akina Nakamori's expression relaxed a lot because of these words, Zhao Liying's voice became deeper: "However, when facing such a thing, what you should do is not to stop thinking about it or not to do it, but to think about how to end it in advance and how to eliminate all traces related to it after you have thought clearly about it and really want to do it."

After all, as someone who had worked with Zhao Rifu through the most chaotic and difficult times in Hong Kong, Zhao Liying was not averse to the gray and darkness: when conventional wisdom could not bring justice to oneself, actions in secret began to become just.

The most important point is that you can choose to do it, but you must not leave any evidence or trace.

"...I understand." Nakamori Akina wiped her eyes and bowed deeply again, "I'm really sorry."

"Okay, stop wiping your tears here. Mary will fly to the United States early tomorrow morning. She will hold a small party in the hotel box tonight. You should go and see her off." Zhao Liying stood up and touched her head. "I really treat you as my own junior, so please don't let Mary and I down."

"I hope that after this lesson, you can realize the importance of 'independence' -"

"Yes!" Akina Nakamori burst into laughter.

After simply handing over the work at hand, Zhao Liying brought Akina Nakamori to the door of the agreed hotel.

In the hotel's private room, in addition to the engaged couple Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Tomokazu, Matsuda Seiko and her agent Konaka, as well as Amami Yuki, who returned to school after filming "The Thousand Faces of the Girl" with the goal of entering the Takarazuka Music School and joining the Takarazuka Revue, were also invited.

After filming the TV series, Amami Yuki also signed with Zhao Liying. However, considering that she is a rare male role, Su Yun and Zhao Liying did not intend to force her and waited patiently for her ten years of hard work.

"If you have time, remember to come to Japan and meet us." After chatting and laughing for a while, Matsuda Seiko raised the drink cup in her hand towards Su Yun: Since most of the people present were minors, it was normal to use drinks and tea instead of alcohol.

Emotional relationships in the world have never been equal, and those who value this relationship more are destined to pay more.

What's more, Su Yun had already achieved success and fame in the eyes of ordinary people when they were all unknown.

Although Su Yun never put on airs when getting to know them, he looked up to them when they first met. As the gap between them widened, that slight admiration naturally turned into deep admiration.

Therefore, this feeling of admiration made Su Yun become an indescribable white moonlight in their hearts, which would move them whenever they thought of her.

If you really count it, Su Yun has already done what most people in this world cannot do: from nothing to starting from scratch, from Oscar-winning actress to Cannes Best Actress, from being suppressed many times to rising up countless times, and has reached a certain height in both the film and television industry and the financial circle...

But she is still so young and there are countless possibilities in the future.

Apart from those wealthy capitalists, she is already standing at a very high level.

This is why all her peers who are chasing after her can hardly have any other thoughts except looking up to her and feeling inferior to her.

However, Su Yun did not lose her original intention because of her peak position: although her career in many places has made her schedule incredibly busy, whenever she has the chance, she will still take the trouble to visit and invite her old friends - with the same smile as when she first met them.

Therefore, even though Seiko Matsuda is a confident and proud player in front of everyone, when facing Su Yun, she is willing to lower herself to become a doll who expects to be comforted; just like Akina Nakamori, who is obviously a gentle and submissive person, will also cheer up for Su Yun and become a guardian who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

Because in the final analysis, in addition to the friendship they had with Su Yun when they knew each other in childhood, they also had a deep affection that went beyond friendship and love - in this world that seemed so close yet could not completely cross the geographical distance, they paid the price of waiting for a long time, while Su Yun paid the price of running a long way.

To put it in a metaphor, their current situation is like that of ancient China and Japan. One is a righteous and strong man who stands proudly at the top of the world despite suffering severe hardships, and the other is a follower who is taken care of and therefore admires the strong man wholeheartedly.

Therefore, from the moment they first met, they would carry with them the blood relationship and bond with the Kingdom of Heaven and Earth that was passed down in the tradition of this island nation, and in the long time to come, they would quietly wait for the day when they could touch the moonlight in the sky again.
