Chapter 1867-1875 [Let’s Run Away Together]
The moment he discovered the identity of the person in front of him, Takamori Masumi suddenly felt murderous.
But perhaps it was because the frustration and anger towards the "funeral silver coins" had been mostly consumed in the previous shot at President Inozuka, or perhaps it was because she had a mediocre relationship with Naoko Torimaru and did not have the feeling of being betrayed by someone close to her... Masumi Takamori gritted her teeth and finally endured it.
Takamori Masumi: "..." Now is not the time for revenge, and...
She tilted her head back to avoid Naoko Torimaru's hand covering her mouth, and asked in a low voice in surprise: "Why aren't you wearing handcuffs?"
"It's been pried open." Naoko Torimaru looked around cautiously. "It's not that difficult if you master the technique."
Takamori Masumi was silent for a moment: "..." Not very difficult? This guy's hands are too dexterous...
But then again, Torimaru Naoko just said "First you need to master the skills", where did she get the skills? Did she guess that she would encounter this situation, so she studied in advance?
Combined with what happened just now, Takamori Masumi was suddenly shocked: "You knew that someone would hijack the car!"
Torimaru Naoko glanced at her and did not deny it: "It was just a guess, but I didn't expect it to come true. Haha, you are still young after all, and you have not been in the company for long. You probably don't know that this company actually has other businesses in secret besides clothing."
Takamori Masumi's curiosity was aroused, and he asked suspiciously, "What business?"
Torimaru Naoko pushed up her glasses and chuckled mysteriously, "Knowing too much can kill you."
“……” Takamori Masumi thought of the guns and bombs just now and retreated a little.
But remembering that she had no way out after walking like that, she snorted again, and stood up in a cowardly manner: "You have harmed me to such an extent, and now you care whether I live or die? And since you have even learned how to pick the handcuffs, you must have thought of a way to get out, right - use that method to take me with you!"
Torimaru Naoko was silent for a moment and looked at her: "Are you so sure that I will help you? Don't forget, I am your enemy, the 'Funeral Silver Coin'."
Takamori Masumi twisted her hands nervously, trying to keep a calm face. "When the case is closed, tell the police that you were the one who found and killed my ex-boyfriend who tried to blackmail me. Isn't it to help me reduce my guilt and appease your little remaining conscience to tell this kind of thing that only you know? Instead of doing this, why not do something more useful? I don't want to go to jail. I want to be with you in the future, no matter what you do or how you live!"
If Takamori Masumi were to run away on her own, she would have no idea how to avoid the next possible raid. But Torimaru Naoko... let's not talk about this woman's character, but her work ability is undeniable, and she seems to be, uh, gifted in crime.
In short, although Takamori Masumi also felt that this method was too risky, she could not find another person to help her at this time - otherwise she could not go back to find Jiang Xia. She had just been educated by two enthusiastic female classmates a few days ago. They heard that the rolling traces of the criminals caught by Jiang Xia and beaten with hammers might be connected to circle Beika Town. She didn't want to challenge it personally at all.
Naoko Torimaru looked quietly at the young female model opposite her, feeling a little surprised, but also feeling that this seemed reasonable.
...If it were her, even if she was given a lighter sentence because of her age, she would not want to waste so much time in a small place. If there was a chance to escape, she would not let it go.
"Okay." Torimaru Naoko was decisive and did not hesitate once she made a decision. She reminded him one last time, "But I was not trying to scare you just now. If you follow me, your life may be in danger. I don't even know if I can survive tonight."
After saying that, she determined the direction and left quietly.
After hearing the last sentence, Takamori Masumi hesitated a little, but after looking at Torimaru Naoko's back, she clenched her fists, and finally gritted her teeth and followed: If she goes back now, even if she is released from prison in the future, she, who has not even attended a vocational high school, will only return to her previous state of having no skills, and even by then, she will not even have the youth she can rely on now.
...Instead of living like a zombie, it’s better to take a gamble.
Anyway, even if it was really a dead end, she could see Naoko Torimaru, the bastard who ruined her life, die in front of her, which was equal to revenge. Not a loss, not a loss.
…
The other side.
After a long time of not finding anyone, Izuka Saburo scratched his head and felt a little discouraged.
Just then, there was a sudden clinking sound on the ground. He looked down and saw a small stone rolling to his feet.
"!" Saburo Izuka immediately stopped in alert.
Then he heard a woman's voice coming from the side: "Are you here to silence me? - I did come into contact with some of President Izuka's industries. Are you the supervisor of that industry?"
Saburo Izuka was shocked. He didn't expect that the person he had been looking for for a long time would actually show up at his doorstep.
He still remembered that he wanted to silence the woman, so he approached the woman with a gun in hand, trying to make her relax through conversation: "I'm not trying to silence her, I just have something to talk to you about."
Torimaru Naoko seemed to be unaware of his approach, and continued in her hiding place: "Just listen to me first - maybe it's because I have a favor and leverage in the hands of President Inozuka, so he feels at ease using me. On the surface, I am the ghost designer behind him, and secretly, I am the ghost secretary behind him.
"Not only are all the affairs of the company on my shoulders, but I also handle many of your chores in his name. Although they don't involve core secrets, I can guarantee that I'm faster than anyone else in these matters. Even if I just hide my identity and become a 'ghost', I can help you handle these matters with half the effort - after he leaves, you should take over the company, right?"
Saburo Izuka was a little confused after listening to these words: Does this woman know how to speak? Why does she speak as if Jiro is already dead... She even cursed her boss. Humph, she can't stay.
Moreover, Torimaru Naoko has already been exposed by the police. If they want to keep her, they have to spend some time to help her become a fugitive who cannot be arrested. Otherwise, once she is caught, it will still implicate the company. This matter is troublesome just thinking about it. In comparison, silencing her is much simpler.
Saburo Izuka: “…” As for those advantages of Naoko Torimaru that she mentioned… Jiro has already been successfully rescued, so just find someone to hold the company for a while and wait for him to come back.
Thinking of this, Izuka Saburo slowly moved forward and locked onto the place where the sound came from.
