Chapter 171: Chapter 167: Another Departure, Moving to a New Home, Half a Month’s Time

July 15, 1992, Wednesday.

Standing at the entrance of the airport, Nipponjiro with a mask turned his head back for one last reluctant look.

Not long ago, he had bid farewell to his older brother here.

And now, he too was going to the United States again.

All because of that bastard Aoyama Xiu Xin, who had concocted such a vile plan that forced him to flee his homeland as well.

He had become a laughingstock, hiding in his house after returning to Tokyo, too frightened to meet anyone. Even the reporters surrounded his house, bombarding the maids with questions about his views on the matters concerning men.

The news was too sensational, and the intensity wouldn’t die down if he didn’t leave; hence, the only option left was to escape the country temporarily.

"Aoyama Xiu Xin, I will return!"

Nipponjiro left the same message on the soil of Japan as his elder brother did, then turned and entered the airport.

Meanwhile, Aoyama Xiu Xin, who had taken a day off, was moving houses with his sister-in-law and Natian Youji also came to help, moving things onto the truck outside.

"Phew, finally done, I’m exhausted."

After throwing the last package onto the truck, Natian Youji exhaled, her chest heaving visibly under her white shirt due to her slightly labored breaths.

Her lower half was clad in a checkered pleated skirt that sat above her knees; she wore thin, white, over-the-knee socks with lace borders—her full thighs squeezed outward seeming even more enticing.

"Big sister, let’s go," Aoyama Xiu Xin called out.

Aoyama Haruko took one last nostalgic glance at the house they had lived in for years before slowly closing the door.

A half-hour later, they arrived at the villa by the river in the Harbor District.

"Wow, Sister Haruko, your new house is here, it’s so beautiful." Even before getting out of the car, Natian Youji gasped at the lush green of the park outside the window, her eyes shimmering with envy.

Those who could afford this kind of house must work as hard and endure as much as Brother Xiu Xin does.

"It’s also my first time here." Natian Youji turned to Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Is it expensive here?"

"It’s okay," Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t give a detailed answer.

Elena and Jin Yucheng, who had been waiting at the entrance, quickly stepped forward and bowed to Aoyama Xiu Xin: "Sir."

"Sister-in-law, Elena, Jin Yucheng, the villa’s security personnel," Aoyama Xiu Xin introduced them briefly, then turned to the curvaceous Caucasian woman and said, "Elena, you’ll be in charge of my sister-in-law’s security. If something happens to her, it happens to you."

"Hi!" Elena responded, looking at Aoyama Haruko, "I will protect the lady well."

Hearing this title, Aoyama Haruko blushed, but as the wife of the Aoyama family head, Aoyama Sosuke, being called ’lady’ seemed appropriate.

However, being addressed as Mrs. Aoyama Xiu Xin made it sound like she was his wife, which made her slightly uncomfortable.

"Bring the stuff inside," Aoyama Xiu Xin instructed them before saying to Aoyama Haruko and Natian Youji, "Let’s go in and take a look."

"Mm." Aoyama Haruko nodded with a smile.

However, Natian Youji was much more lively, grabbing Aoyama Xiu Xin’s hand, "I’ve been looking forward to this."

Aoyama Haruko smiled, unaware of Natian Youji’s intentional arm-rub against Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"Wow! Brother Xiu Xin, this place is huge!"

"So many cherry trees, so beautiful! Living here must be blissful, I’d go crazy."

Natian Youji exclaimed excitedly upon entering the yard.

"You won’t go crazy because you won’t be living here," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied somewhat indifferently.

He noticed that surveillance cameras had been installed at key locations around the yard, significantly increasing the security level.

"Hmph!" Natian Youji pouted, her face instantly falling, "When I become famous, I’ll buy a house even bigger than this, and you’ll be so jealous."

Indeed, the villa was large, not including the soccer-field-sized yard, or the garage that could fit five cars, and an independent three-story servant’s house.

The main villa itself had six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom—an area so vast that it couldn’t be cleaned properly without hiring a couple more servants.

After arranging the moved items, Aoyama Haruko dashed off to buy groceries, proclaiming that the first meal in the new house should be home-cooked.

Only Aoyama Xiu Xin and Youji were left at home.

"Brother Xiu Xin~"

Natian Youji threw herself into Aoyama Xiu Xin’s arms, looking up at him with pitiful eyes, her small hands tracing circles on his chest, "It’s so pitiful living alone."

She loved the place too much and wanted to move in.

"No," Aoyama Xiu Xin wasn’t swayed; he wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb his cohabitation life with his sister-in-law.

"Brother Xiu Xin~," Natian Youji wrapped her arms around his neck and straddled him, rubbing herself slightly downward, her eyes sultry, "Please, let me stay."

Aoyama Xiu Xin ignored her, instead calling in Jin Yucheng and Elena, who paid no heed to Natian Youji and Aoyama Xiu Xin’s flirtatious posture.

"Sir."

"Here are your two ID cards." Aoyama Xiu Xin picked up the document bag beside him and threw it over.

A flash of joy passed through their eyes, and they bowed to Aoyama Xiu Xin again, but they were both naturally inarticulate and could only say, "Thank you, sir!"

Seeing how compliant they were with Aoyama Xiu Xin, Uchida Youji relaxed a bit, slowly leaned back, and then lay down, lifting her slender feet wrapped in white silk and deftly moving them over Aoyama Xiu Xin’s body.

Being watched made her even more excited. Her cheeks flushed, she bit her red lips, her expression hazy...

"From now on, Elena will follow my sister-in-law, Yu Cheng will follow me, and you don’t have to do anything else, just drive behind me every day." Enjoying the delicate and smooth texture of the stockings, Aoyama Xiu Xin contentedly closed his eyes.

Stockings truly are humanity’s greatest invention.

Both of them responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Aoyama Xiu Xin waved his hand to signal them to leave.

During the meal, Aoyama Haruko originally wanted to invite Elena and Jin Yucheng as well, but they tactfully declined. Before being selected to serve Aoyama Xiu Xin, Yamakawa Ichiro had briefed them on some matters, giving them a clear understanding of their status.

Having finally found such a dignified, high-paying job and acquired legal identity, they certainly didn’t want to be fired for their ignorance.

After all, with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, what was not lacking now were people willing to risk their lives, their replaceability was high before gaining their employer’s complete trust.

"Sister Haruko, can I move in and live with you guys? I’ll pay rent. I’m scared living alone." Uchida Youji, unable to persuade Aoyama Xiu Xin, then turned to the tender-hearted, easy-going sister-in-law.

Aoyama Haruko smiled slightly, "This is Xiu Xin’s house. I can’t make that decision. If you want to move in, you must first persuade Brother Xiu Xin."

Although she knew that Aoyama Xiu Xin would definitely agree if she spoke up, she wouldn’t overstep her boundaries just because of the respect—or perhaps... indulgence?—Xiu Xin had for her.

"I just said a lot of nice things, my cheeks are sore, but I couldn’t persuade him." Uchida Youji held her bowl, her eyes resentful as she looked at Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Ultimately, she failed to achieve her goal.

Reluctantly, she left the Aoyama family.

Standing at the door, she turned around, clenched her fists as she looked at the tightly closed gate, and silently vowed, "One day, I’ll move in too, just wait and see."

...

The next morning, Aoyama Xiu Xin went straight to Renping Kuniaki’s office at the Police Headquarters after he arrived.

"How dare you! Aoyama Xiu Xin, don’t you even know how to knock?" Renping Kuniaki was furious, feeling that this guy was becoming more and more disrespectful.

If it wasn’t for the backing of the Yanchuan Family and the Asakai Family, this guy would have been exiled already.

Aoyama Xiu Xin closed the door and looked at him coldly, "I came to remind you not to forget your promise. Why is there no movement regarding my promotion to Police Chief? The victims of Nipponjiro’s abuse aren’t being pursued, but he could be pursued anew. This incident just happened a few days ago; people haven’t forgotten it yet."

It had been a week since he last negotiated with Renping Kuniaki. He had convinced his father-in-law to support his promotion, and the Public Security Committee wasn’t holding back his promotion either. In theory, as long as Renping Kuniaki made the arrangements, it should succeed, but he had yet to hear any news.

"Do you think I would go back on my word? I disdain doing such!" Renping Kuniaki felt his integrity was being questioned, and he angrily justified himself, "Each position has its own role. Even if you aren’t staying at the Police Headquarters, even if you accept an external assignment, there needs to be an open position, right? Every slot is currently filled; how can I promote you? It’s not like you can be a Police Chief and still hold your current position, can you? I can’t accept lowering the prestige of a Police Chief!"

He truly disdained to act dishonestly.

Once he promised, he would definitely fulfill it.

Moreover, he was eager to see Aoyama Xiu Xin become prominent and the target for many, as the more eyes that watched him, the higher his chances of trouble became.

Caught off guard and initially here to accuse, Aoyama Xiu Xin paused. Had he wrongly accused the man?

"How long?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked.

Renping Kuniaki seemed prepared, casually responded, "Half a year. A position in Kanagawa Prefecture will open up. By then, I will transfer someone from the Police Headquarters there, and you can still remain here."

"Half a year? If I wait half a year, I can get promoted without your help." Aoyama Xiu Xin was almost amused by his anger.

Renping Kuniaki replied expressionlessly, "Then there’s nothing I can do. If we follow the rules, that’s all we can do, unless you manage to take someone down yourself, and naturally move up."

That was his motive, to instigate Aoyama Xiu Xin to confront and make enemies, so even if he indeed managed to take down a Police Chief, his actions would be seen as disgraceful, dislikable, and untrustworthy.

"Rules? Don’t talk to me about rules, does my promotion even adhere to the rules?" Aoyama Xiu Xin wasn’t buying that, he firmly stated, "Don’t expect me to put effort into this matter myself. Since it’s something you promised, find your own way to solve any difficulties. In any case, I just need the results, otherwise if I don’t receive what you promised, I can naturally break my promise as well."

He always remembered one thing: he was threatening Renping Kuniaki, and any trouble should be resolved by Renping Kuniaki, so he would not be led astray.

"You..." Renping Kuniaki did not expect Aoyama Xiu Xin to see through his plan, his face turned livid, he stared intensely and managed to squeeze out a word, "Fine!"

"How long?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked again.

Renping Kuniaki said, "A month."

"This month." Aoyama Xiu Xin said, couldn’t be delayed too long, otherwise this matter would be forgotten by the public, or the perpetrator might have been dealt with by Renping Kuniaki.

Renping Kuniaki was silent, not saying a word.

Without any hesitation, Aoyama Xiu Xin turned and left, not looking back, and said, "I’ll give you half a month."

He really wanted to advance.

"Damn it!" Renping Kuniaki slammed his hands on the desk, cursed breathlessly, and his face alternated between gloom and clarity. After a while, he picked up the phone and dialed.

"Have Police Chief Hattori from the first division come here."
