PDLP Chapter 540: Has Takumi's status changed?
Chapter 540: Has Takumi's status changed?
Akai knew very well that Fujiwara Takumi had been busy training until late these days.
It would be a bit cruel if people are not allowed to rest at this time.
What I mean is, it's a mess outside at night, so it's safer to come back early.
Fujiwara Takumi nodded and obediently went into the house.
Meiko behind him said goodbye to him.
The next morning, Fujiwara Takumi received a call from Karasawa Kazuo.
“Fujiwara, Hojo Rin might have offended some troublesome people.
What kind of trouble?
Fujiwara Takumi was very surprised and asked after a long while: "What's going on?"
It was obvious that Tang Ze didn't intend to make his words too clear.
You also know that Hojo Rin is a gossiper. All troubles come from talking too much.
“However, this opportunity is very important to every contestant, so we have to find a way to solve the problem.
Tang Ze paused and continued: "I have asked Hojo Rin, and he said he can handle this matter.
This is not a solution! Hearing this, Fujiwara Takumi almost got angry.
He seemed to be in poor spirits when he woke up early in the morning.
How could Miko, his girlfriend, not notice it?
"Fujiwara, what's wrong with you?"
Fujiwara tried to hide it: "Nothing."
Don't fool me, I can tell something's wrong from your expression.
After a conversation, Fujiwara Takumi finally confessed the whole story.
"It won't really turn out like this. Although Hojo Rin is usually a bit careless, he should know how to be more careful in what he says and does.
It is not clear what the specific situation is because Tang Ze did not go into too much detail.
Considering that Hojo Rin was also a half-friend of Miko, and also because of the relationship with Fujiwara Takumi, Miko immediately called Tang Ze.
"I want to help with the issue regarding Hojo Rin...
"But he was interrupted before he could finish. "Ms. Miko, please don't bother," Tang Ze replied.
You guys should stop interfering in this matter. You should know that the next period of time is very important for Fujiwara Takumi.
In theory, Fujiwara Takumi understood this fact, but how could he just ignore it when it was his good friend's business?
"Tangze, did Hojo Rin ask you to keep something secret? You must tell us the details now.
At this moment, Kazuo Karasawa was very determined.
Fujiwara, you have a lot on your plate lately, so you should focus on the tasks you need to complete.
Meiko next to him said, "But I am not a participant in the competition, so you can leave these matters to me."
However, Tang Ze still maintained a tough attitude:
"Okay, I also need to take care of my own business here, so I can't continue chatting with you.
You two should hurry up and do what you need to do.
After saying that, he hung up the call with the two of them.
It was obvious that Fujiwara Takumi and Miko were confused as to why Karasawa was so reluctant to reveal details.
Akai next to him came over immediately and said, "What happened? This period of time is very critical, and we must not let our guard down.
Got it, it'll be over soon.
When Fujiwara Takumi walked away, Akai looked at Miko in confusion and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
Afterwards, Fujiwara Takumi decided to contact Hojo Rin directly instead of going through Karasawa Kazuo.
He called Hojo Rin, but found that the other party's phone was turned off.
Fortunately, Hojo Rin's social media account is still online.
"Hojo Rin, what on earth has happened to you recently?"
"Fujiwara, just focus on preparing for the game and don't worry about what's going on here."
As a good friend, how could Fujiwara Takumi not be worried?
"No, you have to explain this to me clearly."
"Please, Fujiwara, stop asking, okay?"
Fujiwara Takumi sighed helplessly, as if he had accepted the fact that Hojo Rin would not explain any more.
"Okay, but you still have to participate in the competition, right?"
"I understand. I will handle the situation myself. Don't worry about it." After sending the message, Fujiwara Takumi never received a reply.
Fujiwara Takumi was not angry, and Miko beside him immediately asked, "What did Hojo Rin say?"
"I asked him, and he said less than Kazuo Karasawa."
This time it was Meiko's turn to be confused: "What went wrong?"
Fujiwara Takumi doesn't have time to worry about this, he has to get into training quickly.
Jiro Akai had arranged a detailed plan for him and he just had to follow it.
I have to say that this schedule gave Fujiwara Takumi the feeling that -
Do the most in the least amount of time.
This allows him to complete his tasks efficiently without delaying his normal rest time.
The day passed quickly.
Fujiwara Takumi still didn't see any sign of Hojo Rin coming.
I still refresh social media again and again, hoping to get news from him.
But it didn't. In the next few days,
Fujiwara Takumi never received any message from Hojo Rin again, and the messages he sent to him received no response.
This made Fujiwara Takumi even more anxious. He was really afraid that Hojo Rin might be in danger.
But every time Jiro Akai came to supervise, he could only pretend that nothing was wrong.
As for Jiro Akai, how could he not notice the change in Fujiwara Takumi's condition?
However, as an agent, he should also understand Fujiwara Takumi.
Jiro Akai also found out some information about Hojo Rin, but the specific situation was still unclear.
All I know is that this time Hojo Rin is in big trouble, possibly one that is life-threatening.
Kazuo Karasawa and Rin Hojo must have hidden something before telling Fujiwara Takumi.
But this still failed to eliminate Fujiwara Takumi's worries.
Miko was also worried about Fujiwara Takumi.
She even asked her friends in the country about Hojo Rin's situation.
But these news seem to be blocked by an invisible wall.
There is no way to get information about the other side.
"Fujiwara, just focus on preparing for the game. I'll keep an eye on Hojo Rin's affairs for you."
With Miko's help, Fujiwara Takumi finally decided to devote himself to racing.
But every time he took a break, he couldn't help but think:
When will Hojo Rin appear?
Waiting is torture, and it is the same for everyone.
For Jiro Akai, every day before the end of the game,
It was all extremely painful torture.
He was afraid that Fujiwara Takumi would not perform well.
So before the game started, Jiro Akai had been giving psychological counseling to Fujiwara Takumi.
"Fujiwara, this isn't an important match. Just relax."
At first, Fujiwara Takumi felt that Akai Jiro was much more nervous than himself.
Before going on stage, Fujiwara Takumi chatted with Akai Jiro for a while: "Akai, I'm fine, it's mainly because you don't seem to be in good shape yet."
Indeed, Jiro Akai is very anxious now.
