"At first, I was very worried, but money could numb me."
She looked at Mei Xiang, "I took this money as compensation from your father."
"What exactly did Watanabe say to you that night?" Mei Xiang asked pointedly.
"He said the false accounts had been discovered, and Osuke was going to take action against him."
Yahata Reina began to recall, "If he gets caught, I won't be able to escape either."
She took a deep drag, her eyes glazed over, "He said... there's only one way out... that is... to strike first..."
The room fell deadly silent, with only Yahata Reina's deep breathing and the howling wind outside the window mingling together, creating an overwhelmingly oppressive atmosphere.
"He gave me a bottle of medicine…"
Yahata Reina continued, her tone carrying a hint of despair, "He said… just put this medicine… in Osuke's drink… and everything… would be over…"
Mei Xiang's pupils shrank sharply, she couldn't believe her ears.
"Did... did you poison him?"
