Chapter 258: Chapter 247: As the saying goes, fortune comes with risks! A Complete Makeover_2

Nozaki Cangjian was touched suddenly, "Does that mean I haven’t been dismissed? Am I still a police officer?"

Initially, he had thought that Aoyama Xiu Xin had dismissed him out of jealousy and inability to tolerate talented individuals, but learning that the other party had acted out of deep concern, he was deeply moved.

He also felt guilty for having misunderstood the other this whole time.

Good people are easily exploited by evil bureaucrats.

"No! Officially, you have been dismissed," Aoyama Xiu Xin corrected him, and then added, "but if you solve this case and bring those three to justice, you will be seen as a hero. After serving so many years as a police officer, you should be promoted to Deputy Police Chief."

His words were not deceitful; if Nozaki Cangjian solved the case, Aoyama Xiu Xin would use the excuse of having him go undercover to request the revocation of the dismissal order and commend him for his service.

At this point, Aoyama Xiu Xin deliberately paused, gave the other a piercing look, and asked meaningfully, "But those three were once your comrades in life and death. Can you maintain your integrity?"

"Of course!" Nozaki Cangjian answered without hesitation, with a trace of pain flashing across his eyes as he clenched his teeth, "I sympathize with them, but the fact is they accidentally killed two hostages initially, and the court’s sentence was just. Their killing people after being released is problematic. As both a friend and a police officer, I have the duty and responsibility to prevent them from repeating their mistakes."

"Very good! I indeed wasn’t wrong about you, Mr. Nobita. The sense of justice in your heart has never faded." Aoyama Xiu Xin patted his shoulder and then respectfully bowed, "So I entrust everything to you!"

"Hi!" Nozaki Cangjian bowed back in response.

Aoyama Xiu Xin straightened himself and looked towards Fujiwara Takahiro.

Fujiwara Takahiro took out a file bag from his briefcase and handed it to Nozaki Cangjian, saying, "Inside this is the latest miniature tracker, recorder, and camera. Your mission is to infiltrate their ranks and gather evidence of their plans for bombing and murder. Prioritize your safety, and withdraw once you have the evidence."

"Hi!" Nozaki Cangjian took the file bag and hesitated several times before speaking, "Can they... still survive?"

"Unless they turn themselves in, then I will try my best to help. After all, as a police officer, I deeply sympathize with their plight," Aoyama Xiu Xin said solemnly.

Nozaki Cangjian bowed, "Thank you, Chief!"

After discussing further details, Aoyama Xiu Xin and Fujiwara Takahiro took their leave together.

Stepping out, Aoyama Xiu Xin pulled out a cigarette, put one in his own mouth, and offered one to Fujiwara Takahiro.

Fujiwara Takahiro took the cigarette, first lit Aoyama Xiu Xin’s with a lighter, then lit his own.

"Huff—" Aoyama Xiu Xin exhaled a puff of smoke.

Fujiwara Takahiro turned back and glanced at the door to Nozaki Cangjian’s house with some reluctance, "Chief, deceiving him like this, isn’t it a bit unfair?"

Nozaki Cangjian thought Aoyama Xiu Xin truly appreciated him, and that his dismissal was just part of a plan, unaware that it was Aoyama Xiu Xin who, finding him useful, had concocted such a lie to use him for undercover work.

"Mr. Fujiwara." Aoyama Xiu Xin put a hand on his shoulder, asking earnestly, "Dismissing Nozaki Cangjian for his mistake isn’t excessive, right? And I’m giving him an opportunity; as long as he solves the case, not only can he return to the Police Headquarters, but he will also be promoted. Isn’t that good?"

Fujiwara Takahiro sighed deeply. If that was the outcome, of course it would be good, but what if Nozaki Cangjian was exposed and killed by those three?

"Fortune favors the bold. Did I start with the position I have today? It was all through risking my life, and some laughable people say I relied on my father-in-law and foster relationships, but they don’t know that if I hadn’t risked my life, I wouldn’t have even had a chance to foster those relationships!"

"Wasn’t my life in danger then? Of course it was! Holding a gun, if you want to succeed, you can’t be afraid to die. Fear of death is a luxury for after you’ve made your name! Otherwise, you just remain obscure all your life."

"If he dies, it’s just his bad luck. If he solves the case, I will give him a bright future! Even if he learns the truth later, he will be grateful for my support!"

Fujiwara Takahiro, looking at Aoyama Xiu Xin’s resolute and commanding face, fell silent, feeling somewhat moved at how hard-won the chief’s glory was.

So, he resorted to unscrupulous means.

Disregarding the process, focusing on the results.

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

South Korea, Seoul.

Inside a somewhat unlicensed cosmetic surgery clinic.

In the hospital room, before the mirror, a doctor in a white coat was carefully removing bandages that were wrapped around the face of a male patient.

When the bandages were completely removed, a plain face was revealed. Fujimoto Ryosuke slowly raised his hand to touch his new face, still somewhat in disbelief.

He had only made minor adjustments, which is why he could remove the gauze so soon, but even those subtle changes in four or five places on his face made him look only 30% similar to his former self.

Even if he went back to Japan now, someone with a warrant might compare him and still not recognize him.

"Mr. Cui, congratulations, the surgery was very successful."

The doctor also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Fujimoto Ryosuke had changed his name to Cui Liangyi and his nationality to Korean, but he was set to have grown up in Japan since his Korean wasn’t fluent.

"Your skills are outstanding."

Fujimoto Ryosuke complimented him in return.

When he walked out of the hospital room, a man in a suit who was smoking was so shocked that he dropped his cigarette to the ground and moved forward to look closely at Fujimoto Ryosuke.

"Big brother." Fujimoto Ryosuke called out with a smile.

The young man in the suit hit Fujimoto Ryosuke’s shoulder and exclaimed, "Damn! Ryosuke, you’ve changed so much I can hardly recognize you."

This person was Park Sejin, one of the leaders of the Han River Association, a major Black Society organization in Seoul.

When Fujimoto had first come to Seoul, he happened to encounter Park Sejin being chased by assassins. Noticing the expensive watch on his wrist, Fujimoto chose to step in and help.

Using his superior martial skills and marksmanship, he took down seven attackers single-handedly and saved Park Sejin, who was grateful for saving his life and admired his skills.

Knowing that he had just come from Japan and was jobless, Park Sejin invited him to join his ranks.

Fujimoto agreed and suggested since he had killed too many people on the night he saved him, it might be better to get a new face altogether, and Park Sejin helped him find this somewhat unlicensed clinic to perform the surgery.

"The face has changed, but my loyalty to you, big brother, hasn’t." Fujimoto Ryosuke said with a smile.

"Hahahahaha, you really know how to talk!" Park Sejin laughed boisterously and slapped the back of his head, saying with great pride: "Tomorrow I’ll formally introduce you as a member of the Han River Association. Our group is gaining a strong warrior indeed!"

"I misspoke, it is you, big brother, who is gaining a strong warrior." Fujimoto Ryosuke was still keen on flattering.

"Hahahaha, same thing, all the same."

"Yes, Ryosuke was wrong, I almost forgot that the Han River Association will eventually belong to you, big brother, indeed it’s the same."

"Ryosuke, your tongue is just as sharp as your skills, but don’t go around speaking carelessly in the future."

"Yes, big brother." Fujimoto Ryosuke replied respectfully, and raised his hand to touch his face again.

South Korea, it’s time for me, Fujimoto Ryosuke, to take the stage.
