One thing was fortunate.
Due to the local area network, the students of Advanced Nurturing High School only knew from the school leadership that the prime minister had been assassinated, but they didn't know that "Ayanokoji Kiyotaka" was also prominently listed on the trending search list.
Otherwise, his peaceful life would truly have lost its suspense.
But now, instead of worrying about his future school life, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was more concerned about his brother.
"Kiyotaka, you weren't hurt after being kidnapped, were you?"
"Don't worry, I don't have a single injury on me." Ayanokouji Kiyohira deliberately moved away from Meari as he spoke, starting their conversation where she couldn't hear.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt a little relieved, then asked, "Kiyotaka, was your kidnapping this time related to me? What exactly happened? Why did you use my name? And... does Father know we met?"
It was too much of a coincidence; he had just met Ayanokouji Kiyohira, and then Ayanokouji Kiyohira was kidnapped.
He was extremely annoyed. If he hadn't insisted on meeting Ayanokoji and arranged the location at that gym, Kiyotaka wouldn't have been caught and experienced such a life-or-death situation.
Although compared to the prime minister's death, he was still more concerned about this kind of thing.
"You hid it very well; Father doesn't know you left school. Those kidnappers originally wanted to catch you, but they confused the two of us and caught the wrong person."
Ayanokouji Kiyohira paused, "The leader was from the White Room."
...What exactly happened? Tell me quickly." Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's tone immediately became serious.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had nothing to hide from him. He walked out of the Cooking Room, went to the Chemistry Preparation Room next door, locked the door, and recounted the details of his capture.
To avoid making him too worried, he only briefly described his subsequent struggle with Ikishima Midari and Hagen, focusing mainly on the professor's matter.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka seemed very familiar with this professor. He pondered for a moment and then said, "I know the professor you're talking about. He used to be Father's capable assistant. After you left the White Room, he was still the chief person in charge of the experiments. I'm quite familiar with him."
"Later, after the White Room project's expenses were gradually cut, he disappeared. I'm not sure who he works for now. It seems that even after a few years, he still misses the White Room project and is full of hatred for Father."
Ayanokouji Kiyohira asked, "Do you think the prime minister's assassination this time is related to them?"
"That's unlikely."
Kiyotaka rationally shook his head and analyzed, "Assassinating the prime minister shouldn't be their plan. They just failed to murder you and now need time to lie low and avoid this intense period. The prime minister's assassination case has directly pushed them into the spotlight, which is definitely not what they want to see. It should be someone acting for political purposes, trying to muddy the waters and frame them."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka paused, then added, "However... Father, in order to achieve his goals, might go along with the mistake and handle these two unrelated matters together."
The two chatted for a while longer. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka solemnly reminded Ayanokoji, "You absolutely must not participate in what happens next. This is not something we can handle right now. You just need to stay at school. No matter what happens outside, you must not go out."
For this country, a most important figure had suddenly died. By the end of this year, or early next year, a new prime minister would definitely be re-elected.
This period was full of undercurrents, absolutely the best stage for ambitious people. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka did not want them to become political sacrifices and earnestly admonished him.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira also understood that he was right and nodded in agreement.
He had no plans to leave school anyway. For the next six months to a year, he might have to stay in school continuously.
Their thoughts coincided.
After they agreed on a secret signal and method for future meetings, Ayanokouji Kiyohira hung up the phone and rubbed his forehead.
The events of the past few days had unfolded too quickly, as if this world found the story's progress too boring and wanted to quickly see a "bloodbath" ending, directly "accelerating" time.
