Chongzong, Uesugi Yui, Manranyama Souren, and others remained on high alert for a week, tense and prepared. Day and night, they were on guard, vigilant against any potential dangers. However, nothing happened. Bai Yaxin did not take any action, or at least within the range known to Chongzong and the others, there was no impact from Bai Yaxin. It was almost as if nothing had happened at Yasaka Shrine. This situation, in fact, made them even more uneasy. If this was Bai Yaxin's intentional choice, it truly deserved admiration for his tactics. To release enough threat, yet refrain from action, gradually wearing down Chongzong and the others to exhaustion and anxiety. When the time was right, then take action. Resting while waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Chongzong and the others were indeed very passive in this matter, with no way out. But they were not sitting idly by. Manranyama Souren and Van had already prepared at an extraordinary speed to expose Bai Yaxin. After multiple confirmations, Manranyama Souren decided to officially report Bai Yaxin's criminal activities to the government. With the charge of economic crimes, Manranyama Souren, accompanied by a lawyer, personally reported Bai Yaxin to the government for multiple instances of profit-making through falsifying and forging financial information during his business dealings in Japan, evading taxes, totaling up to 1.36 billion Japanese yen, and submitted all the necessary materials and evidence.
Due to the completeness of the evidence and Manranyama Souren's professional statement, the government swiftly accepted Manranyama Souren's report, granting arrest warrants to the procuratorate and the police, leading to Bai Yaxin's arrest the same day on suspicion of economic crimes, pending further investigation. Up to this point, everything was progressing smoothly. Manranyama Souren and Chongzong thought that Bai Yaxin would definitely resist arrest vigorously and not be easily captured. But the reality was contrary to their expectations. Bai Yaxin was very cooperative in his arrest, brought back to the station for questioning that same afternoon. However, on the other hand, Bai Yaxin showed that he was fully prepared. When Bai Yaxin was arrested, his lawyer was already on site, giving the impression that everything had been prepared and he was just waiting to be apprehended. This unfolding of events also made Manranyama Souren and Chongzong feel uneasy. This uneasiness persisted until the day the economic crime case went to trial. On the day of the trial, the prosecution was led by the procuratorate, with Bai Yaxin as the defendant, Manranyama Souren as a witness, and Chongzong, Van, and Uesugi Yui present in the audience.
The reason why only ManranyamaSouren was arranged as a witness, instead of all of them testifying together, was because Bai Yaxin was well-prepared and likely to find loopholes in the testimonies of the witnesses. After careful consideration, it was decided that only ManranyamaSouren would testify.
The reason was simple - ManranyamaSouren was the most professional. Even if she was targeted in court, she had the confidence and ability to handle any unexpected situations.
No matter what tricks Bai Yaxin used, she believed she could handle them. This was what ManranyamaSouren thought.
However, what nobody had expected was that just half an hour after the court session began, the presiding judge announced that the plaintiff had lost the case.
ManranyamaSouren had no chance to resist or struggle.
The reason was simple, yet brutal.
The evidence that ManranyamaSouren and the others had painstakingly obtained was fake and held no legal value.
