Chapter57 Wandering

The victory in this case finally made the Atobe Zaibatsu start to get out of the predicament.

After the press conference the next morning, the stock price curve finally improved.

At the same time, the media began to report frantically on the life and background of Hasegawa Shu. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office and the Metropolitan Police Department soon opened a case against Hasegawa Logistics and Hasegawa Shu, and all the evidence began to surface.

The entire Hasegawa Company has attracted strong attention from the media and the public. Chairman Hasegawa Kenshin had to hold a press conference, painfully admitting the fact that Shu was not his biological son, and announced that he would sever the father-son relationship with him.

After that, the Metropolitan Police Department issued an arrest warrant. However, when the fully armed criminal police rushed into the high-end club where Shu was hiding, the place of feasting and drinking was deserted.

Until April, this important suspect suspected of money laundering and intentional murder was still at large.

At the beginning of May, Atobe Keigo was discharged from the hospital after recovery and resumed the management of the financial group.

Although he had just recovered from a serious illness, the only heir to the Atobe Zaibatsu was in very good spirits at the press conference that day. He wore a dark red suit, a white shirt and a black tie. Standing under the bright lights, he had a tall and straight figure, his face was a little thin but the lines were still clear and strong, his eyes were sharp and bright, and there was a teardrop mole under his eyes that was particularly dazzling.

"Mr. Atobe, you haven't appeared since you were hospitalized after the incident in court. Are you recovered now?"

"I'm really sorry to trouble you all, but I'm basically recovered now and I'm in good spirits. Please rest assured."

"Mr. Atobe, the financial crisis has seriously affected the Japanese economy. The Atobe Zaibatsu has suffered heavy losses recently. As the leader of a top company in the industry, how do you think we should deal with the current difficulties?" "

The crisis is not terrible. What is terrible is the lack of confidence and courage to face the crisis."

"In other words, Mr. Atobe has absolute confidence to overcome this crisis?"

He responded to the reporters' questions one after another, as fluent as flowing water, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, slightly arrogant, but very elegant. When he heard the last question, he raised his lip line arrogantly.

"Are you afraid of the night?" He said, "Then I will turn it into daytime!"

In an instant, everything was silent. After a long time, thunderous applause sounded.

You Ji only smiled faintly as she watched the man's spirited figure under the spotlight on the TV screen.

Some people, even if they are narcissistic and arrogant, are understandable.

"Looks like you've recovered well." Lane Lindsay stood behind her with a cup of coffee, speaking in a calm tone.

Since the end of the lawsuit, she moved back to her apartment. After packing her luggage in the original villa, she has not been back.

Lane would occasionally come to see her. The apartment, which was neither big nor small, had been silent for a long time, and finally had some life.

She only nodded and said nothing.

Then a few more reporters asked some questions. After answering them one by one, the press conference was about to end.

Just as Atobe and his staff were about to leave, someone in the group of reporters raised his hand hastily and shouted, "Mr. Atobe, one last personal question! There is news that you and lawyer Yuki Terajima have agreed to divorce, and she used her maiden name when she appeared in court as a defense lawyer. Is this true?"

This person was too fast, and the person in charge of the press conference had no time to stop him. Atobe Keigo's steps paused, and the live camera had switched to the characteristics of his face. His handsome features were expressionless, and the deep gray eyes were more profound and obscure.

In the end, he said nothing and walked out as if he had not heard anything.

There was a noise on the screen, as if there was a commotion.

Yuki finally didn't want to watch it anymore, raised her hand and pressed the button on the remote control, and the whole screen went dark.

Lan looked at her quietly for a long time and sighed faintly.

"What are your plans for the future?" He sat down on the sofa beside him, and while speaking, he looked at her expression, which was always indifferent, but gave people a faint feeling of sadness. "From what your uncle said, he wants you to go back there?"

"Yeah." Youji bent his knees and curled up in the sofa, his posture was lazy, and he only responded with a word, which was considered an answer.

"From the look of you, it seems that you are not very interested?" Lan En looked at her and couldn't help but smile.

"It's just that I suddenly feel that there is no meaning." She shook her head, but her expression was a little confused. "At the beginning, I clearly wanted to get it and wanted revenge, but when it was really in front of me, I didn't feel the pleasure I imagined."

When handling the divorce agreement, the shares, cash and real estate stipulated in the terms had not yet been handled. This part of the assets should have been used to buy the shares of the Hasegawa family so that she could establish herself on the board of directors as soon as possible, but she was not interested. After thinking about it again and again, she still didn't move a penny.

Lan En looked reluctant: "If you don't want to, don't force it."

"But..." She turned back, "This is the condition..."

"I will go to your uncle's place." Lan En put down the coffee cup in his hand, his tone firm.

"Father..."

You Ji frowned slightly in doubt, but Lan En was silent for a long time before speaking.

"GS headquarters called and hoped that I could go back to work." He said, "GS suffered heavy losses this time, and Bob took the opportunity to reshuffle the top management and asked me to work with him. I am ready to agree. You Ji, if you are not happy staying here, come with me?" "

Wall Street is undergoing a large-scale reshuffle and reconstruction. Every day, large and small companies are acquired, merged, and bankrupted. These are exactly the economic cases you are good at. If you want to continue to be a lawyer, there will be many opportunities."

This proposal was a bit sudden. You Ji was stunned at first, as if he was thinking about something, and did not speak.

"You don't have to answer me right away. If you have thought it through, come to me. You are my daughter. I don't want to force you to do anything. I just hope that I can take good care of you like an ordinary father in the future."

Lan En continued, his words were calm, but his expression was kind. You Ji looked up at him, and there was an inexplicable warmth in his heart. After all, he nodded: "Thank you, father."

This woman is always too strong. She is obviously wandering in melancholy, but her face is still indifferent. Lan En sighed secretly in his heart, stood up, patted her shoulder, and then got up and left.

In fact, it is not bad to leave everything behind.

You Ji sometimes thinks so irresponsibly. Anyway, she is not very interested in the industry of Hasegawa Company.

But having said that, she was busy with trivial matters in the office for the next few days and put the matter aside. Hasegawa Company has called several times to urge her. She dragged it indifferently, but she was thinking in her heart that she should have a clear answer.

"Are you really planning to leave?"

When Tezuka Kunimitsu pushed the door open, she had just written half of her resignation letter.

The taciturn elite lawyer paused with a sharp gaze, but she did not comment.

"I think so." She said, "I haven't thought it through completely, but it's almost there."

Tezuka frowned, thinking of the rumors about the new heir to Hasegawa Company, and sighed softly.

"I went to see Atobe yesterday, and he looked very good." He said, "He doesn't agree to take back the shares of the consortium. You'd better talk to him yourself."

Youji was silent for a while, frowning with a headache.

Tezuka looked at her and sighed, "Since you can do that for him, why don't you leave any room for redemption?"

The woman remained silent, and after a long time, she took the documents from him.

"Do you remember what I said to you here when we decided to get married?" She quietly stared at the setting sun outside the window, and her eyes were coated with a layer of gorgeous color. "This marriage was originally a contract. Each party took what they needed. Now it seems that it has not violated the original intention."

"Have you achieved your goal?" "

I guess so." She smiled lightly, "The hatred of my mother and Seichi's innocent deaths, and the things those people took from us, I can take back everything. Not only that, but also money and power."

"But you don't look very excited."

Tezuka Kunimitsu said lightly. Youji looked up at his expressionless face, lost in thought for a moment, and curled the corners of his mouth innocently.

She was obviously smiling, but he could see a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

The phone on the table suddenly rang, a strange call.

She picked it up, but the other end was eerily quiet, and a familiar voice came after a long time.

"Yuki."

The other party called her softly, but the woman gasped: "Shu?"

Hasegawa Shu, who is wanted by the police nationwide but is still at large.

"It's rare that you didn't curse, Yuki." The man on the other end smiled, looking very calm.

Youji was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, walked into the inner room of the office, and lowered his voice: "You dare to call me, aren't you afraid that I will notify the police?"

"I'm in Osaka, and the Investigation Division has blocked the area." Shu smiled, "Maybe tomorrow's newspaper will publish the news that I, an important suspect, have been arrested."

Youji understood and curled the corners of his lips: "You have been on the run for more than two months under the pursuit of the Metropolitan Police Department. Are you finally desperate?"

"I'm tired, Youji." Shu said, "I don't want to play this game anymore."

"Shu..."

His words were low and slow, and there seemed to be an unusual taste. She frowned for a moment, but the other party didn't notice it and continued to talk.

"The scenery at sunset in Kansai just now was beautiful, so I wanted to talk to you." He said, "Youji, you hate me very much, right?"

She paused for a moment and wanted to say something, but the other party continued: "But I hate it too, and I don't know who to hate."

His voice was flat, but his words became desolate.

"Remember that night, the facts we saw. You read that right, it was my mother who pushed Aunt Gardenia down the stairs, because at that time Aunt had already known the secret between her and Atobe Yuichi. After you left, I rushed in to question my mother, and she did not hide it and told me all the truth. My life has been turned upside down since that time." "

The father I once thought was not my father, and a strange biological father appeared out of thin air. My mother was a murderer who silenced people. Everything was in chaos. In your opinion, I enjoyed everything given by the Hasegawa family, and used the foundation of the Hasegawa family to fight for the power of the Atobe family. I was willing to sacrifice the blood of innocent people for my own ambitions. Yes, I was ambitious. From that time on, my mother repeatedly asked me to seize the power of the Atobe family. My so-called biological father cultivated and supported me in secret, even at the cost of his own life. But do you know what was the last sentence Yuichi Atobe said to me before he died?"

"He said, Shu, you are my continuation. As long as you are alive, I and Atobe Keigo will also continue until victory!" His voice rarely rises and falls, but it slightly rises here, as if he clenched his teeth, "To him, I'm just a symbol, a symbol to prove his victory in the fight between him and Atobe Keigo and his son, just a tool!"

You Ji was slightly stunned and clenched the phone, but the person on the other end let out a long sigh, as if trying hard to adjust his out-of-control emotions.

"Many times I feel that my life is controlled by others, and I have no choice." Shu continued, "But I can't help it, and I will try my best to snatch and take. When I see your hateful eyes, and see you standing next to Atobe Keigo, I will be crazy jealous! Obviously we have the same blood, he is the noble and proud heir to the chaebol, and I am the dishonorable illegitimate child. Obviously I knew you first, but I watched him... I wanted to take away everything from him, only this one thing followed my own heart..."

"But I failed after all." He laughed at himself, "I lost to you."

"Shu." Youji frowned slightly, "What do you want to say?"

The other end was silent for a while, and then smiled as if relieved: "Nothing, I just felt tired suddenly."

"Go and turn yourself in, the court will handle it as appropriate."

"Do you want me to be forgiven?" He asked, with a hint of sarcasm, "I thought you should hate me and want to tear me into pieces."

She was silent for a moment, then nodded: "That's not wrong."

Shu laughed: "Youji, at this point, you don't even want to lie to me."

"Shu..."

"Forget it." She frowned, but was interrupted by him, "I'm tired anyway."

Then he hung up, and there was no sound.

Youji didn't react for a moment, just staring at the phone in her hand that had lost the call signal. She raised her head, and the fiery dusk outside the window reflected in her eyes, a bloody color.

"Who is it?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu asked at the door. She hesitated and closed the flip cover of the phone.

"Shu."

"How could it be him?"

"I don't know."

"Should we notify the police?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu seemed to be a little alert, but she shook her head: "No need."

The matter was not mentioned again.

That night, none of them knew that far away in Osaka, Kansai, the police and the mafia had a large-scale shooting war. Many mafia leaders were killed on the spot and several detectives were injured. On the morning news the next morning, bodies were carried out one by one. One of them was covered with white gauze, half stained with blood. When it was opened, the blood-stained body and face of the young man could still be seen. The handsome lines of his features and the tightly closed eyes could be vaguely distinguished. His expression was serene, as if he had been freed from endless nightmares and fatigue.

At that time, Yuki was standing in front of the TV and accidentally broke a milk cup.

She looked at the bloody body on the screen, and she did not feel great sorrow or extreme pleasure for a while.

It was as if the blood debt had been paid, and all the hatred disappeared in an instant.

Shu, maybe he could deal with the police for a longer time.

But he was tired of it.

She recalled his calm words from the day before, and suddenly realized that they were his final words.

The woman sighed, squatted down to pick up the broken glass on the ground, but suddenly she felt dizzy and nauseous, and ran to the sink to dry heave, but nothing came out.

After calming down and taking a deep breath, she turned around to get some water, but a thought flashed through her mind like lightning.

She took a breath and showed an expression of disbelief.

"No, how could it be possible--"
