Chapter 247: Chapter 240: Yanchuan Xianyou’s Fiancée, New Type of Crime (Request for Monthly Tickets!)

"Brother Xianyou, this was found at the hideout of those two Koreans. Please pass it on to grandfather."

In the living room of Yanchuan Xianyou’s residence, Aoyama Xiu Xin handed over evidence of Masheng Jiubao and four others who had been taking bribes from Takeda Fuji for years.

"Where are they?" Yanchuan Xianyou asked in a gentle tone, setting the items aside after taking them.

"They were armed and detained. In the exchange of fire, my men killed them both," replied Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"Well, they had really bad luck," Yanchuan Xianyou smiled and then shifted the conversation, "I heard you’ve been quite close with the Maritime Security Bureau these past few days."

"Since the Soviet Union dissolved, they lack everything. Out of humanitarianism, I thought to give them a hand," Aoyama Xiu Xin said, his tone tinged with jest.

Yanchuan Xianyou shook his head and said earnestly, in a didactic tone, "For people like us, having enough money to spend is sufficient. Don’t be too greedy, Xiu Xin. I heard your personal life is not very disciplined. Be more restrained. To last in the long run, you need to be impeccable."

There’s no wall that doesn’t leak air. It wasn’t that everyone knew of Aoyama Xiu Xin’s greed and lust, but for those who wished to investigate, everything was crystal clear.

However, as long as he was on the rise and had a stable backing, even if there were real evidence against him, these matters wouldn’t bring him down; thus, no one exploited these issues.

It was only when his backing stumbled and he began to decline that these issues turned into bullets targeted at him.

Generally, ninety percent of officials don’t fall because of money or lust; these are just superficial factors. The real reasons for their downfall are often the collapse of their backers or losing internal power struggles.

"Brother Xianyou, I’m a common man with desires for wealth and lust. I haven’t planned to go very far. I’ll move up if possible and won’t force it if not. Following your lead is enough for me," said Aoyama Xiu Xin candidly.

Although Yanchuan Xianyou was advising him now, if he were indeed saint-like, untainted by wealth or lust, then he would be the one to watch out for.

Plus, everyone would think that his contact with the Maritime Security Bureau and the Yagyu family is merely for business and making money, insatiable greed! Who would think that he was a born rebel, using money-making as a guise to pave the way to seize military power for future high positions?

Yanchuan Xianyou, helpless upon hearing this, patted his shoulder, "This mentality won’t do. Grandfather has high hopes for you. Always keep one eye open when doing things, don’t let anyone catch you out."

The most important thing was not to impact the Yanchuan family.

That was the implicit message.

"Don’t worry, Brother Xianyou, I won’t personally show up in making money. Even if something goes wrong, it won’t trace back to me, much less involve the Yanchuan family," Aoyama Xiu Xin assured earnestly, then glanced at his watch, "Brother Xianyou, shall I take my leave now?"

"Go if you’re busy, but don’t forget the Crown Prince’s engagement party, since you were invited, prepare a congratulatory gift," Yanchuan Xianyou advised.

"Roger!"

Aoyama Xiu Xin bowed and turned to leave.

As he opened the door, he saw a woman about to knock. She was startled by the sudden opening.

"Ah! You scared me."

The woman trembled slightly, pulling back her raised hand and instinctively patting her chest, the curves underneath her off-shoulder dress trembling.

"You are..." Aoyama Xiu Xin expressed doubt.

This woman, in her mid-twenties and tall for a Japanese lady at about 1.7 meters, had long black hair styled at the back of her head, a petite face, a mole between her eyebrows like cinnabar, and wore delicate silver-rimmed glasses. She was dressed in a water-blue off-shoulder dress.

Svelte and graceful, with legs sheathed in beige stockings visible beneath the knee-length skirt, her fair skin faintly visible beneath the thin stockings, wearing high-heeled shoes, exuding an aloof arrogance.

The woman didn’t respond to his query, frowning at Aoyama Xiu Xin’s imposing frame, she said irritably, "Why are you blocking my way? Move!"

"Xia?" Hearing the noise, Yanchuan Xianyou also came over and was surprised to see the woman.

The woman’s arrogance disappeared as she faced Yanchuan Xianyou, smiling naturally, "As your soon-to-be wife, can’t I visit your home?"

"So, you’re the sister-in-law." Upon learning her identity, Aoyama Xiu Xin hurriedly bowed and then stepped aside to let her enter, "Please, sister-in-law, come in and talk."

However, he was puzzled as he had never heard Yanchuan Xianyou mention having a fiancée, nor had he seen her at the dinner a few days ago.

"So you’re Grandfather’s newly recognized grandson, Aoyama Xiu Xin, right? Alright, you can leave now. I have things to discuss with Xianyou," Asakawa Xia’s attitude towards Aoyama Xiu Xin improved slightly after hearing "sister-in-law," but only just.

"Roger!" Aoyama Xiu Xin could feel her contempt but didn’t care. He bowed respectfully, "Then sister-in-law, you have a good chat, I’ll take my leave."

With that, he hurried off with his head bowed.

"Treat Xiu Xin a bit better; he is Grandfather’s publicly acknowledged grandson, not some servant of your household," Yanchuan Xianyou chided her displeased.

Asakawa Xia scoffed, "He hasn’t even changed his surname to Yanchuan; isn’t he just someone Grandfather picked for you to be an errand boy... Fine, fine, I’ll be nicer to him in your honor, okay?"
