Chapter 74: Akemi's gaffe
"Hoo ......"
When Akemi put down the phone, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief. The mood that was originally extremely depressed just now suddenly became a little more cheerful after talking to Lin Xiuyi on the phone. This feeling can't help but make Akemi feel a little more confident about what is going to happen next.
"Akemi-chan, wait a minute, don't be nervous, you just need to confidently deny all the accusations against you, even if someone asks about you and Lin Xiuyi, you must not admit it, otherwise, those brands are likely to ask you for termination and compensation!"
"I know, don't worry, Sister Miki, I'm feeling better now!"
Akemi squeezed out a smile to Sae Takashima with some reluctance, and then she walked out of the lounge with the other party, and then came to a conference room that Hirata had prepared for herself temporarily.
"Ah...... It's out!"
When the people who had been waiting for a long time saw that Akemi finally appeared, the reporters in the audience immediately raised their cameras and shot at Akemi for a while. I saw Akemi and her agent walk up behind the table in the center of the conference room one after another, first saluted everyone present, and then picked up a manuscript prepared in advance and read it aloud:
"I personally regret the report made by the Nikkei Entertainment Shimbun this morning. This report completely distorts the relationship between me and several of the parties, and I hope that the other party will retract this report as soon as possible and publicly apologize to me and several other parties......"
"Excuse me...... It's true that Shingo Satoma lives in the same apartment as you, right, and you've actually started dating secretly a long time ago!"
Just after Akemi read out the statement issued by the club, a Nikkei reporter stood up first and questioned Akemi's voice.
"I only learned about this from the newspaper this morning, and I didn't know that Richu-san had rented the apartment across the street from me! As for Ms. Keiko Nagao mentioned in the article, she did live next door to me before, and our relationship was limited to that of neighbors and ordinary friends. In fact, I've only met my new neighbor once since Ms. Keiko moved away, and I remember him vividly as a woman with elegant manners. That's all......"
Akemi explained the matter of Shen Wu with some displeasure, but in fact, even Akemi felt very embarrassed about this matter. She didn't expect that Sin Naka would quietly rent the apartment next door to her. And this is one of the main reasons why Akemi is in the passive situation it is today......
"Do you think such an explanation is enough?"
"Yes, you were photographed traveling with Hakone before, how do you explain this?"
"If you're worried about being discovered, let your partner's sister come forward and rent the apartment next door, you've actually been together for a long time!"
……
When Akemi explained the matter of Satoma Shingo, many reporters at the scene raised their own doubts about this statement. But...... Today, Akemi wants to explain not only about Satoma Shingo, but also about Lin Shuichi, a bureaucrat of the Metropolitan Police Department, that is the focus of everyone's attention.
"Excuse me...... What is the affair between you and the Metropolitan Police Department bureaucrats? When did you start dating, and how do you explain the photo you took in Kamakura eating together?"
Hearing that someone asked about Lin Xiuyi again, Akemi couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart. Just as she was about to explain, the agent Sae Takashima, who had been with her, suddenly took the microphone and said to the reporters present with a calm expression:
"Regarding this issue, we have explained it very clearly, Akemi and another artist under the firm, Reina Kurashi, are very good friends, so she naturally met the Lin Xiuyi Police Department through Reina. Because the two of them usually move around more ordinarily, the relationship between Akemi and the Lin Police Department will naturally be better, but ...... The speculation that they are dating is really nonsense!"
"But Akemi did publicly express her admiration for Lin Xiuyi a few years ago!"
"Yes, Akemi-chan did admit it on Gossip 007 at that time!"
……
"That...... Akemi had already explained about that matter, and the other party rejected Akemi's kindness before they even started dating, so ...... Over the years, the relationship between Mr. Hayashi and Akemi has always been just a relatively close friend!"
"Wait a minute, Akemi said on that episode that the person she admired liked was actually Akemi's neighbor at the time. So to speak...... That Lin Police Department was dating Akemi's former neighbor Ms. Keiko Nagao again, is that what you mean?"
"This ......"
After hearing that the reporters let Akemi go, they pointed the finger at the big people in the National Police Agency. At this moment, Takashima Sae didn't dare to speak easily. You know, if you say something wrong and offend Keiko Nagao, I'm afraid that the Hirata office will be in even more trouble.
"Hey...... Why don't you speak, do you say...... Lin Xiuyi was really dating Nagao Keiko at that time, right?"
……
Seeing that the reporter was waiting for him to make a mistake, Takashima Sae did not dare to admit what the other party said. At this moment, Akemi suddenly took the microphone and continued to the reporter who was proud:
"This is not the case, the Lin Police Department has not been in a relationship with Miss Jingzi. Because before I participated in that issue of Gossip 007, Ms. Keiko had already left Japan to study abroad...... So...... The assumptions you are talking about are simply not possible!"
"Study abroad?"
"Really, fakely, deceitfully!"
"No, Keiko Nagao's resume does record her time at Harvard......"
……
Just when many reporters present listened to Akemi's explanation and began to be suspicious, Goto, who was present, suddenly stood up and continued to ask Akemi:
"Wait a minute, even if they are studying abroad, it doesn't mean that they weren't dating at the time, we found out that the Forest Police Department had also been in the UK for a long time during that time (dark web case), who can guarantee that they didn't continue their relationship abroad? So...... This explanation of yours doesn't say anything......"
"No...... They didn't socialize!"
"How did you know about this, you should have stayed in China at that time!"
"I'm pretty sure they're really not in a relationship?"
"Why? Give me a reason, why are you so sure?"
"Because Xiu-chan is definitely not such a person, he ......"
In a hurry, Akemi, who was forced out of control by the reporter, suddenly said something that made her regret it, and before Akemi finished speaking, she immediately realized that she had lost her words. All of a sudden, the audience once again sounded a burst of shutter sounds......
