Chapter 236: Chapter 229: Granting Him the Achievement of Following the Dragon! And He Should Thank Us for It (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)

In a quiet café, accompanied by soothing music, one could easily relax.

Due to working hours, there weren’t many customers in the store.

Only a man and a woman were sitting by the window.

It was Aoyama Xiu Xin and Tangong Huizi.

"With the report out, the Japanese’s resentment against Koreans has increased again," Tangong Huizi folded the newspaper neatly to one side and looked at Aoyama Xiu Xin across from her with her almond-shaped eyes. Her red lips parted slightly, "Mr. Aoyama, have you figured out what you want? You can’t just help our Civilian Corps for nothing, that would be too cheap for them, right? The chairman has said that as long as you can keep Jin Hongyi’s affair from implicating our Civilian Corps, just name your price."

"I really can’t think of anything I want at the moment, after all, there’s nothing I lack!" Aoyama Xiu Xin stirred his coffee and sighed with frustration.

His material desires were not very strong, and the power he wanted was something the Korean Civil Group couldn’t give him.

Tangong Huizi smiled slightly, "Then I’ll decide for you, how about a yacht? Our chairman has one called ’Freedom’, worth over a hundred million US dollars."

"I remember you said that you are the illegitimate daughter of Cui Guiwen," Aoyama Xiu Xin said softly, there are gradations even among cotton-padded jackets, and she was clearly of the unscrupulous kind.

Utterly filial indeed.

Tangong Huizi pursed her lips, "You also know it’s just an illegitimate daughter. I have no idea how many more like me he might have, so I won’t take myself too seriously and there’s no need to save him money."

Anyway, the money saved would all be spent on his sons, she silently added to herself.

"Alright then," Aoyama Xiu Xin agreed.

With the yacht, he could buy an island someday

Then invite a bunch of female celebrities over for a silver party.

That would fit his identity as a Japanese man.

Having settled the reward and finished his coffee, Aoyama Xiu Xin left the café first, heading straight back to Police Headquarters and directly to Renping Kuniaki’s office, where he raised his hand and knocked "thump, thump, thump" on the door.

"Come in!"

Aoyama Xiu Xin pushed the door open: "Director."

"Is it Xiu Xin? What’s up?" Renping Kuniaki, who hadn’t slept all night, had bloodshot eyes and looked exhausted, but still managed a smile with a show of energy.

Aoyama Xiu Xin certainly noticed the recent change in Renping’s attitude towards him, and with due respect, he bowed and took out a pre-prepared invitation, smiling as he spoke, "In a couple of days, my god-grandfather is hosting a party, and I would be honored if you could attend."

He planned to formally announce him as his god-grandson at the party.

"I’ll definitely be there, definitely," Renping Kuniaki took the invitation, the smile on his face even more genuine as he inwardly marveled at the young man’s good fortune and the support of influential people he encountered along his way.

Aoyama Xiu Xin pulled back his hand and placed it in front of him, then added, "There’s another matter, about last night’s human trafficking case, a friend has reached out to me asking for help—to let the case be concluded at the main offender Jin Hongyi, but I can’t make that call alone. Director, what do you think...?"

"I had the same thought about the case, since we have caught the main offender, it’s best to close the case soon to avoid any further uproar and bad air," Renping Kuniaki said.

He had assumed Aoyama Xiu Xin was acting as a messenger for Yagyu Yuichiro, after all, this case involved his son Yagyu Tomon; digging deeper could expose Yagyu Tomon, so it was best to stop while they were ahead.

So even without Aoyama Xiu Xin’s personal influence,

He had to respect Yagyu Yuichiro!

"Thank you, Director!" Aoyama Xiu Xin revealed a sincere smile and carefully articulated his next words, "There have been some misunderstandings with the Director before, I was just young and arrogant, unaware of my own ignorance. I appreciate your generous understanding."

Since Renping Kuniaki clearly showed an attitude of wanting to mend their relationship, Aoyama was happy to comply.

After all, having more friends was better than having more enemies.

Even if they were just friends on the surface, that was enough.

"Xiu Xin, you worry too much, I too have been your age and can understand," Renping Kuniaki laughed heartily, placed the invitation aside, patted Aoyama’s shoulder gently and said, "You should also call me uncle, considering your relation to Ling. How could an elder hold a grudge against a younger one? I never took those past issues to heart, and now I’m just looking forward to your and Ling’s wedding, ready to enjoy a few drinks."

Aoyama Xiu Xin gave the other party a face-saving way out and slid down it naturally. Both parties appeared as if they were truly amicable elders and juniors, as if the old grudges had never happened, with such ease of manner.

"I’ll certainly not forget to invite you," Aoyama Xiu Xin also laughed, bowing, "Then, Director, I won’t disturb your work any longer. I shall take my leave."

It must be said that having Yanchuan Shilang as a god-grandfather was truly worthwhile. Although he might have to play the role of a grandson in his future home, many others would have to play the role of his grandson.

So it seemed he was the grandson, but in reality, he was the master.

"Hmm, take care," Renping Kuniaki nodded.

Back in his own office, Aoyama Xiu Xin had not even warmed his seat when his office door was knocked on.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

"Come in," Aoyama Xiu Xin called out.

Subsequently, a young man in his late twenties, donned in a uniform, pushed the door open and entered. Aoyama Xiu Xin had just seen him in the newspaper and recognized him immediately.

"Yagyu Deputy Chief, what wind has blown you here?" Aoyama Xiu Xin quickly stood up to greet him.

As a man who aspires to become Prime Minister.

An actual Prime Minister with power, an Emperor of the soil.

Building a good relationship with the military was essential, after all, a great man once said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Previously, there had not been an opportunity, but now there was.

Yagyu Tomon closed the door behind him, took off his hat with a face full of shame, and respectfully bowed deeply in front of Aoyama Xiu Xin: "Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Aoyama!"

What are you doing, Yagyu Deputy Chief! Please get up quickly," Aoyama Xiu Xin hurriedly helped him to his feet.

Taking the opportunity to rise, Yagyu Tomon said with a face full of contrition, "If it weren’t for Mr. Aoyama this time, I would have become a disgrace to the Yagyu family, and our family would have been shamed because of me. I will remember this kindness in my heart, and should there ever be an opportunity where you could use my help, please do not hesitate to ask!"

"They say a tiger father will not have a dog son. Deputy Chief Yagyu, as General Yagyu’s son and the inheritor of his talents, is also a rare talent for our nation. It would be criminal to let such talent go to waste in prison over some minor mistakes," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a smile.

Yagyu Tomon’s face flushed with the praise, and he bowed awkwardly: "You flatter me too much, Mr. Aoyama."

"These are sincere words, my biggest flaw is that I am not versed in worldly ways and can’t indulge in pleasantries," Aoyama Xiu Xin laughed heartily and pointed to the guest sofa, "Mr. Yagyu, please take a seat."

"Yes!" Yagyu Tomon sat down on the sofa.

Aoyama Xiu Xin poured him a glass of water, took a seat next to him, and said: "Mr. Yagyu, you only did what you did for money; money is the easiest thing to get in the world. If for its sake you lose your freedom and prospects, then the loss is far too great."

"Yes! Your words are invaluable, Mr. Aoyama, I will certainly bear them in mind. This incident has been a lesson for me," said Yagyu Tomon, reflecting with emotion.

Aoyama Xiu Xin had resolved to grant him a dragon’s achievement and said, "If it’s just for pocket money, Mr. Yagyu, you need to trust me. I have a project here we could collaborate on."

"Oh?" Yagyu Tomon’s eyes brightened. As someone addicted to luxury, he loved money very much; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in human trafficking.

However, Aoyama Xiu Xin did not continue, and instead looked at his watch in a pretentious manner, "I would love to have a long talk with Mr. Yagyu, but unfortunately, I have another meeting. How about we set another time to talk about this matter in detail?"

"Yes! Since Mr. Aoyama has work, I won’t trouble you any longer." Yagyu Tomon put down his glass, stood up, took out a business card, and handed it over to Aoyama Xiu Xin with both hands, "You can call me anytime, Mr. Aoyama."

"The same goes for you, Mr. Yagyu; if you ever need help, don’t hesitate to ask. I enjoy making friends with outstanding people of my own age," Aoyama Xiu Xin said, taking his business card and giving one back as an exchange.

The phrase "enjoy making friends with outstanding people of my own age" instantly elevated the other party to the same level as himself.

Yagyu Tomon left with his spirits lifted, feeling the joy of being recognized, especially since Aoyama Xiu Xin’s excellence was universally acknowledged, known to all, accepted by everyone.

And now, such a person was calling him excellent.

"Mr. Aoyama, I take my leave."

"Mr. Yagyu, please take care."

Watching the office door close, Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled to himself, feeling that this individual involved in human trafficking was somewhat naive; yes, that’s it, naive. After all, no second generation with a working brain would get involved in such things.

Naivety is good; he liked naive people.

.................

"Father, Aoyama Xiu Xin has agreed to help us, but he wants a luxury yacht as a thank you gift."

Tangong Huizi spoke respectfully to Cui Guiwen.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes turned towards Cui Guiwen.

A luxury yacht would have to be custom made; you couldn’t get a new one in a hurry, so...

"Just give him my Freedom," Cui Guiwen decided with a gritted teeth, trying to suppress his feeling of heartache.

After all, he had just yesterday sacrificed Jin Hongyi’s son for the greater good; today it was his turn, and if he couldn’t bear to sacrifice a yacht, then his image would be ruined.

"It seems Hui Ya has done a fine job with Aoyama Xiu Xin; he is already willing to work for us. If it weren’t for Aoyama Xiu Xin’s help, our Civilian Corps would once again be caught in turmoil," someone said.

"Indeed, thanks to Aoyama Xiu Xin. Hui Ya made a good point; previously, he resisted us because our methods were wrong. It is this approach that is correct," those who supported Tangong Huizi said one after another, expressing their gratitude to Aoyama Xiu Xin and emphasizing that Tangong Huizi’s strategy was the right one.

Although the conservative faction intended to refute, they really couldn’t find an excuse at the moment, especially since their spokesperson Han Suwen was absent from today’s internal meeting.

Not hearing any quarreling, Cui Guiwen felt oddly unused to the silence and curiously asked, "Where is Chairman Han?"

"Chairman Han said he was feeling unwell and needed to rest at home," another council member stood and responded.

Cui Guiwen just thought that the other party was sulking about his decision from last night and thus deliberately skipped today’s meeting, but he didn’t take it to heart.

However, what he didn’t know was that Han Suwen, desperate to save his own son, no longer cared about the collective interest of the Civilian Corps and was preparing to make a significant move.
