Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 98 Double Torture

Misaki Tachibana's private dressing room.

Ms. Iijima sat in front of the vanity mirror, her eyes closed, letting Hiroshi Nakajima do as he pleased.

Nakajima Hiroshi was measuring the foundation.

He deliberately chose an unhealthy pale color and used a sponge pad to dust her face.

Make the area around your eyes a little darker...

"Maybe I can act in horror movies."

Ms. Iijima stuck out her tongue, the rosy color of which looked somewhat out of place under this makeup.

"Take it easy, you don't have to be so cute."

"This is what Nakajima Hiroshi is directing."

"Imagine not sleeping well for many days in a row, waking up at the slightest sound, and being sensitive to light..."

"Don't completely relax your brows; it seems like you habitually furrow your brows, right..."

Don't tell.

Celebrities do have basic skills; they adapt to facial expression management really quickly.

"And with a hint of disgust and fear..."

"No, it's not the kind of disdain you show towards special guests; it's more like a bit of tsundere in a way."

"Mind your mind, let your gaze wander..."

Hiroshi Nakajima took a half step back and examined his work.

Soon, she picked up a light gray lipstick and deliberately blurred her lip line.

"alright."

Ms. Iijima looked in the mirror.

He was slightly stunned.

She really felt she could go down this path.

The reflection in the mirror is like a beautiful, dazed doll, both decadent and stunning.

It might actually sell very well.

"They really went all out with their act."

Tachibana Misaki leaned against the door, her arms crossed, a playful smile playing on her lips.

"I'm almost starting to feel sorry for them."

"That's the effect I wanted."

Nakajima Hiro screwed the lipstick cap on, making a soft click.

"We can't really resort to the law; we have to resolve this privately to achieve our goal."

"If you're settling things privately, you should do everything you can to increase the other party's cooperation."

"Fear alone is not enough; compassion and guilt must also be fully utilized."

Ms. Iijima looked away and joined the conversation.

"Mr. Nakajima, how much money are we trying to extort this time?"

Nakajima Hiroshi wiped his fingers.

He was so quick to accept this woman's attitude that he even suspected she had been involved in bar scams or honey traps.

No price quote.

"This time, we will not accept any form of compensation."

"It's boring."

Ms. Iijima pouted, "Then wouldn't we have wasted our time?"

She muttered to herself, her shoulders slumping.

That carefully crafted sickly appearance unexpectedly matched her emotions.

"If you open your mouth now, you won't get much out of it."

"Everything takes time to prepare. Stay calm, proceed step by step, and the other party will eventually offer compensation."

"Besides, the performance fee I paid you wasn't low, was it?"

"That's true."

Ms. Iijima calmed down.

Nakajima Hiroshi said no more and turned to his lawyer.

From the beginning, he remained silent, and it was unclear what his attitude was towards the matter.

Hopefully, you won't resist it.

"And you too..."

"no problem."

The lawyer's voice was calm, and he seemed to be aware of Nakajima Hiroshi's concerns.

"Don't worry about my morals. Anyone with a conscience wouldn't do this."

You're quite straightforward...

Thus began the first negotiation with Mr. Wuwan.

The location was a private room in a coffee shop.

Tell the other party openly that this is a private meeting and should not be treated as mediation or negotiation.

Also, the owner here is Misaki Tachibana's friend, so...

Hiroshi Nakajima could stare at the monitor and grin maliciously.

Jie Jie Jie...

Wu Wanjun arrived early and ordered a lot of food and drinks.

Although it was based on fear, there was still sincerity involved.

Moreover, they did make a lot of money under Kuroda, so they didn't care about this little bit of money.

The key is to avoid any accidents.

I've earned so much money, it would be such a waste if I went in before even enjoying it.

He seemed extremely uneasy, constantly glancing towards the door.

After a long wait, the lawyer and Ms. Iijima finally arrived.

I wasn't late, but I deliberately timed myself close to the line to put as much psychological pressure on the other person as possible.

Just like in the rehearsal, Ms. Iijima displayed a rather subtle fragility, and with the lawyer's help, she walked with great difficulty towards the private room.

She looked around nervously, as if she were constantly afraid of something.

Just seeing her made Wuwanjun realize that he was a sinner who had hurt the girl.

Of course, the guilt is far less intense than the fear for now.

But it doesn't matter, both are thanks to Nakajima Hiroshi.

"Food, Ms. Iijima..."

He hurriedly got up to greet him, but was stopped by the lawyer.

"I am Ms. Iijima's lawyer, and I will be in charge of handling this conversation."

"First of all, I want to clarify that my client is currently in a very unstable mental state, so please do not initiate communication without authorization."

Ms. Iijima cooperated quite well, cowering fearfully behind the lawyer, biting her lip and trembling.

The murderer.

Wu Wanjun clearly felt that he was the murderer.

The guilt was building up.

"This meeting was held at my strong suggestion in order to attempt communication, understand the full picture of the incident, and assess the subsequent legal proceedings..."

"...This is not a formal settlement negotiation, and we have not yet received any acceptable or sincere proposals."

Let's set the tone first.

They made it clear from the beginning that things could be discussed, but a reasonable solution was required.

Wu Wanjun seemed to understand and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It's good that we can talk.

He was afraid that the other party was determined to get him arrested.

"Yes, yes! I understand, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity!"

"Ms. Iijima, I... I'm so sorry, so very sorry!"

"That incident... I was truly out of my mind at the time. I was just confused for a moment, and I never imagined it would cause such serious consequences..."

The lawyer raised his hand and said calmly.

"Mr. Kobayashi, your personal feelings and motivations are not the focus of this meeting."

He wasn't afraid of being offended at all, because the more impolite he was, the more lost Wu Wanjun would become, and the confusion and uncertainty would wear down all his resistance.

That's what lawyers do.

Moreover, all his offensive behavior had nothing to do with the person in question, and would hardly lessen Wuwan-kun's sense of guilt.

The girl was on the verge of crying.

"The main point of this conversation is that we need to explain the situation to you."

"According to the diagnosis, Ms. Iijima has severe sleep disorder, anxiety, social phobia, and stress response to certain electronic devices."

"In addition, according to professional assessment, she has developed clear symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder."

"In short, you destroyed her possibility of interacting with people normally, or even living a normal life."

It started with technical jargon and ended with a conclusion, leaving Wu Wanjun pale-faced.

As the lawyer spoke, he pulled out forged documents.

"These are all objective facts, and I hope you can understand."

Anyway, today is not a formal negotiation, the items will not be handed over to the other party, and it is even impossible for it to go to court.

Therefore, everything can be faked.

"Yes, yes... I admit it, it's all my fault."

Cold sweat began to bead on Wuwanjun's forehead.

He didn't really understand what these symptoms and parameters meant, or whether there were strict definitions; he only knew that he had indeed caused a bad influence.

That sounds serious.

It looks like...

It certainly looks like a terrible thing to do.

Especially since he usually deals with energetic young women, seeing a woman who has become sensitive and vulnerable because of him is quite a contrast.

The psychological pressure is overwhelming.

"I am willing to take full responsibility! Medical expenses, treatment costs, compensation for emotional distress..."

"If only Ms. Iijima can recover, I'm willing to do everything I can to make it up to her!"

"Please, please give me a chance to make amends, no matter how much money it is, as long as I can afford it..."

Just then, Ms. Iijima's shoulders trembled slightly.

She turned her head away, letting out a slight dry heave, as if she were forcibly suppressing it.

Upon seeing this, Wu Wanjun felt even more guilty.

The lawyer's expression also turned cold.

"Please watch your words. My client is not here to hear your price."

"The compensation you mentioned may need to be determined by law after professional consultation."

"Before this, no one except Ms. Iijima was qualified to give or ask for forgiveness."

"I hope you'll keep this in mind before we continue!"

Yes, that's it...

Gradually stripping away his initiative...

Nakajima Hiroshi stared at the monitor, his heart filled with approval for his lawyer.

Wu Wanjun swallowed hard.

The law, the legal code, is used to clarify...

Just hearing that word made him feel helpless once again.

When I took the job, I was blinded by the prospect of a high reward and didn't think about all that.

But now, with the real consequences looming before him, he began to regret why he had taken these jobs.

Ms. Iijima was responsible for applying emotional pressure, while the lawyer was responsible for dismantling rationality.

This kind of double torture is simply too much for someone like Wuwanjun.

"I……"
