Tokyo: From Lawless Madpolice to Minister
Chapter 113 - 109: Pure and Clean, Attention from the Koreans

Chapter 113: Chapter 109: Pure and Clean, Attention from the Koreans

Last night, I found some time to plant a person in the field.

As a result, Aoyama Xiu Xin got up a little late this morning.

"Good morning, sister-in-law."

Dressed in a silvery gray suit, Aoyama Xiu Xin came downstairs and greeted Aoyama Haruko.

"Good morning, Xiu Xin." Aoyama Haruko’s complexion was somewhat unnatural, blushing as she hesitated before asking, "About last night... my clothes..."

"Oh, I took them off for you, you kept saying you were hot," the image of his sister-in-law’s beautiful body flashed through Aoyama Xiu Xin’s mind, but he kept his face as if nothing had happened and counterquestioned, "What is it, sister-in-law?"

"You..." Having received this answer, Aoyama Haruko was a bit embarrassed and annoyed, but seeing Xiu Xin looking so calm and clear-eyed, she began to doubt whether she was being too sensitive, and her comment turned into, "Don’t do that next time... it’s not very appropriate."

The thought that her body, which only her husband had seen, had been fully exposed to her brother-in-law filled her with shame and frustration.

"What’s the matter?" Aoyama Xiu Xin looked genuinely puzzled, naturally asserting, "At that time, sister-in-law, you were sweating all over and couldn’t undress by yourself. What was I supposed to do if I didn’t help you?"

"Besides, we’re family. You help me with laundry, cooking, and taking care of my daily life, what’s a little thing like helping you undress in return? It’s no trouble at all."

What was he doing wrong? He was just trying to return the favor.

"I..." Aoyama Haruko was at a loss for words, her fists clenched tight, her face flushed, and she whispered resentfully, "There are differences between men and women, and we are in-laws, Xiu Xin..."

"What are you thinking about, sister-in-law?" As he saw her resolve weakening, Aoyama Xiu Xin’s stance became even more assertive and composed. He stepped forward to support her by the fragrant shoulders and looked into her eyes, "Between us, everything is crystal clear. Who could gossip about that? And you don’t think I have any improper thoughts about you, do you? Sister-in-law, is that how you see me? That would really sadden me."

"No, that’s not it, of course not!" Aoyama Haruko quickly and emotionally denied it, then firmly added, "I certainly trust that Xiu Xin wouldn’t take advantage of the situation to do something inappropriate to me."

"Well then, there you have it. As long as everything between us is pure and clear, and our conscience is clear, what’s the big deal about helping with taking off a dress?" Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a slight smile.

Not showering together would already be considered distant.

Aoyama Haruko pursed her lips, hesitant but slowly nodded in agreement, thinking, indeed! Xiu Xin only saw me as family and disregarded the boundaries between men and women to help me, I should not be wary of him. How could I entertain such reckless thoughts? That was really wrong of me.

It wasn’t his heart that was at fault, but mine!

Once she realized this, Aoyama Haruko felt much lighter, she let out a sigh and told Xiu Xin, "If we don’t have breakfast now, it will get cold."

"Then, I’ll start eating." Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a smile, removing his hand from her shoulder. As he sat down, the anxiety in his heart also subsided. Sister-in-law truly had no guard up against him, even believing such nonsensical talk.

But he had resisted planting someone in her field last night, and he was quite impressed with his own integrity.

Aoyama Xiu Xin suddenly thought of something, got up to turn on the TV, and sure enough, he saw the news about Heize Xin being taken away by the Special Investigation Department.

The reason given by the department was that they had discovered Heize Xin had accepted a bribe of 500 million yen from a courier company.

They would prosecute him for bribery.

Apart from the Special Investigation Department’s message, the news also released a set of compromising photos with Heize Xin as the male lead.

It was the set that Aoyama Xiu Xin had submitted.

If bribery alone could force Heize Xin to resign, then adding a salacious scandal on top of it would be enough to completely end his political career.

After all, in capitalist countries, the populace is incredibly forgiving toward politicians; whether it is corruption or lasciviousness, as long as you apologize and lie low for a while, you can make a comeback.

After all, it’s just a little corruption, right?

I have apologized, what more do you want?

Do you want me to die for it?

But if it comes out that someone is both corrupt and lecherous, then the resentment doubles, especially in these economic downturns when everyone has a hard time making ends meet. Seeing someone live so well on bribery and corruption, how could anyone tolerate that?

Aoyama Haruko let out a deep sigh and said indignantly, "These politicians are really too much, with the public struggling so much, they are not solving problems and only looking to satisfy their own pleasures."

The sister-in-law essentially represented the reaction of the citizens.

"Yeah, it’s really too much." Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded in agreement, these corrupt officials had plundered the money of the citizens, turning everyone into paupers. What would he have left to plunder when he rose to power?

Therefore, corruption and bribery must be severely punished!

Unless he was in on the action, too.

After breakfast, Aoyama Xiu Xin headed to Police Headquarters for work, receiving a call from Yamada Yuuji on the way.

"Mr. Aoyama, Heize Xin... he’s really finished," Yamada Yuuji could hardly believe it.

Because until today, Heize Xin had been a figure who could influence the direction of the country, someone who he regarded as a fearsome giant. But overnight, the man had become a prisoner at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

He felt a mixture of shock and relief.

With Heize Xin down, all of his cronies and henchmen would be hit and ostracized, and even if they weren’t directly targeted, it would be considered during promotions.

And since he had jumped ship early, he became a hero for bringing down Heize Xin, not only avoiding the fallout from this storm but also likely to receive a handsome reward as a result.

Aoyama Xiu Xin was calm and composed, one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding a phone, "I’ve always said to trust me, and I wouldn’t be wrong, Mr. Yamada, how about it?"

"Thanks to you, Mr. Aoyama." Yamada Yuuji replied with evident satisfaction, then continued, "Mr. Aoyama, I hope to join the Special Investigation Department. There will definitely be a few positions opening up this time, so I’m counting on your help."

The Tokyo District Prosecution Special Investigation Department was an important place, and Heize Xin surely had his own people there, but now that he had fallen, those people would obviously have to vacate their positions.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Yamada, this is the reward you deserve, isn’t it? I’ll speak to that high-ranking individual," Aoyama Xiu Xin agreed without hesitation. He believed that Yanchuan Xianyou wouldn’t refuse this request.

After this incident, Yamada Yuuji could be considered his closest ally. Helping him climb the ranks at the Prosecutor’s Office was also beneficial for his own career.

Now that he had a trustworthy partner in the Prosecutor’s Office, it would be ideal to find another in the court and political circles as well. Partners who could advance together in prosecution, police, judiciary, and politics – having four wheels was not only fast but also stable.

And the media, banks, or financial groups; after all, public relations and finances were also crucial. If he could gather such a group, even if they didn’t hold high positions, the power they could unleash should not be underestimated.

Although Aoyama Xiu Xin currently had the support of the Yanchuan family and the Asakai family, their resources were definitely for Yanchuan Xianyou and Asai Zexi; he could at best partake in their leftovers.

Moreover, he didn’t want to be Yanchuan Xianyou’s lackey forever. Why couldn’t he aspire to be the head honcho himself?

In politics, even family members don’t necessarily share the same stance. What if his stance conflicted with the Yanchuan or Asakai families in the future?

Therefore, while still under the complete protection of these two families, he needed to use their resources to enhance himself and form a group centered around himself.

"Hey! After everything is settled, I’ll treat you to a drink, Mr. Aoyama," said Yamada Yuuji, sounding much more relaxed, and then smiled, "It would be great to become the Deputy Minister, but if I can’t secure that position, I’ll go for the Mobile Search Department General Manager."

The Tokyo District Prosecution Special Investigation Department had nearly a hundred people, including one Minister and four Deputy Ministers in charge of special sections 1 and 2, the Direct Complaints section, and the Economic Financial section. In addition to those, there were two General Search Officers for the Mobile Search section and the Administrative section, making up a leadership team of seven people. The rest were ordinary prosecutors and administrative officers.

"Then, Mr. Yamada, book the restaurant to celebrate your promotion in advance," Aoyama Xiu Xin laughed heartily.

"Hey! Everything is in your hands now, Mr. Aoyama."

He had just ended the call with Yamada Yuuji when another call came in. In those days, there was no contact list on mobile phones, so he had no idea who it was until he answered. All calls had to be picked up.

"Moshi moshi, this is Aoyama Xiu Xin."

"Mr. Aoyama, I’ve been waiting for you these past few days. I didn’t expect you to be so heartless, to forget someone immediately after pulling up your pants. It’s really heartbreaking."

Hearing that soft, alluring voice, Aoyama Xiu Xin immediately recognized who was on the other end.

"It’s precisely because I left President Tangong heartbroken last time that I didn’t disturb you, to let you have a good rest!" Aoyama Xiu Xin replied cheerfully.

Tangong Huizi, of course, caught on that he was teasing her with the incident of her being ’stormed’ last time, and she was instantly angry enough to gnash her teeth. That brute had really not treated her with any humanity. Damn it, the Japanese were really perverts.

Although she was furious inside, she couldn’t show it, poutingly she said, "You’re still bringing that up, last time you went too far, Mr. Aoyama. Oh well, let’s not talk about the past. Can you do me the honor of having a drink tonight?"

"Have a drink, ah... I’ve been using it rather frequently lately, so I might not have ’one’ drink," Aoyama Xiu Xin said, sounding a bit troubled, "So, let’s not."

"Mr. Aoyama, I’m serious. Let’s have a drink tonight," Tangong Huizi invited him again.

"I’m serious, too. I don’t have time these next few days. Maybe next time, definitely next time. That’s it then," Aoyama Xiu Xin said, and hung up the phone.

Tangong Huizi had been quiet the last few days, but suddenly after Heize Xin was caught up in a scandal, she reached out to him. Surely, those in a frantic state due to the incident linked to him saw potential and wanted to curry favor with him beforehand.

Aoyama Xiu Xin knew he had potential.

He wasn’t short of money or backers.

He was okay with using South Koreans against each other, but not okay with getting involved with them.

What could South Koreans offer him? Nothing but money, women, and the resources of the politicians they secretly supported. None of which he needed right now.

"Damn it!" Tangong Huizi muttered angrily under her breath, then turned to an elderly man with silver hair sitting on the sofa opposite her and said, "He refused."

"Continue to make contact. According to the information we’ve obtained, the indecent photos of Heize Xin were provided to the Yanchuan family by him. He holds the trust and esteem of Yanchuan Xianyou and has close ties with the Asakai family’s daughter. His future is worth our investment," the elderly man paused, sighed, and continued, "We wish to be equals with the Japanese, and to do so, we need to attract more politicians, especially promising young Japanese like Aoyama Xiu Xin who haven’t yet risen. The more we invest in his career path, the greater our influence on him will be."

"Men, especially young men, are fond of beautiful women. In South Korea, there’s an old saying, ’Even heroes find it hard to overcome the allure of a beautiful woman,’ and I think it makes sense. Hui Ya, you need to make more effort in this area. I don’t believe he won’t fall for it."

"Yes!" Tangong Huizi responded in Korean.

...

Elsewhere, Aoyama Xiu Xin was just one intersection away from the Police Headquarters. As he was about to cross that intersection, the signal turned red, and he stepped on the brakes.

Then, he heard a loud crash and felt a strong jolt pushing him forward, causing his body to lean forward. Luckily, the seatbelt kept him from hitting the steering wheel.

Aoyama Xiu Xin was initially panicked, thinking he could have been targeted for assassination. After all, having done plenty of dirty work, he felt guilty.

But he quickly realized he was overthinking it.

If it had been an assassination, it would’ve likely involved a dump truck.

"Dammit!"

Realizing it was an accident didn’t lessen his anger. Aoyama erupted in fury, cursing as he violently exited his car.
