Chapter 63 Ace
Chapter 63 Ace
At the residence of Shigeru Yoshioka.
"Now, let's assign tasks."
Shigeru Yoshioka looked at Asuka: "The disclosure is scheduled for this Thursday."
"Asuka, your core mission is very clear."
"Take good care of your health, make thorough preparations, and also adjust your mindset."
"Since someone can book the venue in advance and deliberately target you, it means they have considerable resources in the industry. Once it happens, it's bound to happen again."
"So, in the worst-case scenario..."
"Yes."
Asuka's gaze was resolute: "My father may reappear."
"more than."
"There are many possibilities if you want to ruin a candidate."
"Scandals, professional front-row attacks, even malicious attacks..."
"What you need to be prepared for is to do your best in this performance, no matter what happens."
"clear!"
Asuka clenched her little hands.
She was still very scared, but this disclosure was very important; it was to protect Nakajima Hiroshi.
In any case, we must do our best.
"I'll take care of the safety issues."
Misaki Tachibana leaned back in her chair.
"I've already commissioned private investigators to gather clues. As long as the enemy dares to show their face, I can follow the trail and find them all."
"Also, on the day of the performance, our people will clear the way for Asuka Hanabira, so don't worry."
Her tone was quite confident.
If the Queen of Ginza can't even protect a little girl, she'll lose all face.
What she didn't say was that she would also communicate with Kenjiro Endo.
However, considering that this content might upset Asuka, they did not inform her beforehand.
"I will control the professional front row players and the field controllers."
Onodera Mizuki placed her hand on Asuka's hand, comforting her.
"While I may not be able to control everyone, there is face among colleagues. If I greet someone, unless they are deliberately targeting you, I will never boo them."
"Asuka, all you need to remember is that everyone who caused trouble in the front row got paid."
"Ignoring them is the best way to deal with it."
Actually, she was being opportunistic in saying that. There isn't that much face among people in the same industry, but as long as she gets the news tomorrow, she can minimize the impact of these things.
"Yes, thank you, Sister Meiyue."
"Speaking of which, I did some research on the subject of the last disclosure."
Shigeru Yoshioka frowned and said, "The other side has not only targeted Mr. Kenjiro, but also bribed the stage manager, equipment personnel, and backstage staff."
"The person in charge of the liaison used cash and shell companies, and the operation was quite professional."
"We must be prepared that, in the worst-case scenario, a similar situation will occur again this time."
"We should just pay more."
Mizuki stated confidently, "I will secure control of this disclosure."
"The venue, the equipment... all the staff have microphones hidden in their clothes, so if anyone tries anything under the table, we'll find out immediately."
The cost has clearly exceeded the extent of a friend's help.
"Mizuki, are you choosing...?"
"Yes."
Mizuki interrupted Nakajima Hiroshi's question, which was also a clear response.
They were referring to a future collaboration with Hiroshi Nakajima.
"In that case, I will be responsible for tracking down leads within the industry."
Shigeru Yoshioka remained calm and composed throughout.
"Although we may be constrained by some cooperative relationships and unable to launch a retaliatory strike immediately."
"But I guarantee that as long as there are any targeted actions within the industry, I will at least identify all the masterminds and accomplices."
He emphasized it again.
"Asuka, you need to be prepared and not let these messy things affect you."
"Focus on delivering the best possible stage performance; that's your sole purpose, understand?"
"Thank you everyone, I will definitely do my best, I promise."
Hiroshi Nakajima, you wait, I'll get you out!
It's a pity, if only you could...
"besides!"
Watanabe Yukino shook the camera in her hand and spoke at the opportune moment.
"Asuka, I'll record your dance from the audience, and you can watch it with Nakajima Hiro later."
Hey, Yukino, what are you doing?
Isn't this setting up Nakajima with other women?
You're hopeless, you really are hopeless!
Misaki Tachibana handles social pressure, Mizuki is in charge of the scene and finances, Shigeru Yoshioka investigates industry clues, and Yukino plays the role of an incompetent husband.
Everyone has a bright future.
Just then, Mizuki's phone rang.
"Um?"
"They've already made a move?"
The group exchanged glances.
The list of disclosed items was adjusted in the early morning, and even though it's only morning, people have already started contacting staff.
There is no doubt that the opponent is still launching a high-intensity attack on Asuka Honoka.
"Okay, I understand."
Mitsuki scoffed.
"Since others are willing to give us money, let them accept it. As for anyone who dares to cooperate with the operation..."
Although she was dressed casually, she still exuded the aura of a queen at night.
Mizuki is so scary...
Surrounded by everyone, Asuka finally returned to the relaxed state she had been in under Nakajima's protection.
The only difference is that she is now full of fighting spirit.
Of course, Kuroda wasn't one to sit idly by.
After all, he was willing to spend money, and his subordinates all worked diligently.
"Boss, something's not right."
A subordinate with slicked-back hair arrived with intelligence.
"This time the venue was booked in advance, and the other party kept insisting on a face-to-face meeting, as if they wanted to lure us into coming forward."
"Furthermore, the staff members who were bribed reacted in a highly consistent manner."
"Everyone agreed readily, but never asked any questions. They only emphasized that they would cooperate with the command, as if they were not worried about the risks to their career prospects."
"Moreover, although they have accepted the money, they have not raised prices any further so far, which most likely indicates a problem."
"We have reason to suspect that the person who intervened and controlled the situation this time may be from the organization behind Hiroshi Nakajima."
They are truly a professional team; they could tell something was wrong from the smallest reaction.
Although the conclusions were somewhat off-target due to insufficient information, the level of insight was absolutely outstanding.
In reality, it's not uncommon for those disclosing information to sabotage each other's work, and staff members often try to negotiate and take advantage of the situation to make more money.
This type of behavior accounts for about 40-50%, which is quite common.
However, constrained in this round, they naturally sought stability, which revealed a very obvious flaw in this aspect.
Mizuki is, after all, an entertainer. Even if she can access company resources for certain reasons, her understanding of these matters is actually quite limited.
After all, just like Asuka Hanabikachi is now, the core of an entertainer is to conquer the stage and the audience, and there are people to handle the messy things.
But Mizuki couldn't ask her team for help; her troubles were no less than Kuroda Karito's.
The only solution is to spend money.
Therefore, this disclosure, which involved a significant amount of resources, was not without flaws.
At least now Kuroda's team has realized that something is wrong.
"So, tell me your approach."
Kuroda Karito was not anxious, because he still had an ace up his sleeve.
That's right, it's the evidence that Nakajima Hiroshi used for bribery.
Hmph, you didn't expect that, did you? This old man can even catch me with this kind of evidence!
As long as you find the person behind you and have evidence, it's not impossible for them to just give up on you!
Everyone has a price, Nakajima Hiroshi. I'd like to see if your price can compare to a profit chain that can handle illegal residency!
Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, his subordinate replied respectfully.
"Yes, I plan to continue trying to make contact. After all, the other party is a human being, and even with discipline, it's impossible to have no loopholes forever."
"Alternatively, we can hire some people to pose as enthusiastic fans of other candidates and use that as a way to sneak backstage."
"Since the other side's protection revolves around Asuka Honoka, they will inevitably neglect these aspects of protection."
"besides……"
