Chapter 274: Chapter 260: The Pity of Parental Love, A Beating!

"Good morning, Dean Takizawa."

"Haha, good morning everyone."

With his Big Back Head hairstyle and clad in a neatly tailored suit, Takizawa Shikou, his face glowing with health, walked into the Supreme Court office building; it was clear to all that he was in a good mood.

"Judge Panasonic."

Takizawa Shikou called out to Panasonic Jun, who was ahead.

"Dean Takizawa," Panasonic Jun stopped, turned around, and walked towards Takizawa Shikou, bowing respectfully.

Takizawa Shikou sneered inwardly. He had been fooled by such proper manners before, and without the current situation, he never would have guessed that this man, with his bushy eyebrows and big eyes, could be so adept at political maneuvering.

He kept a straight face and said in a tone that was neither salty nor bland, "Come to my office."

"Yes!" Panasonic Jun replied with a bow.

After entering the office, Takizawa Shikou didn’t offer Panasonic Jun a seat. He carelessly took off his jacket, hung it up, and plonked himself down in the office chair. He then took out a CD in an unmarked case from his briefcase.

"Judge Panasonic, please play this for me."

"Yes!" Feeling a vague sense of unease, Panasonic Jun picked up the disc, turned to the DVD player by the TV, inserted the disc, and then turned on the TV.

As the image appeared, he, who was usually impassive, suddenly widened his eyes and stared blankly at the screen.

The figure on the screen was his beloved son.

Silence filled the office as the video continued, and just as Panasonic Qingyun was about to go into action, Panasonic Jun abruptly turned off the television.

"Judge Panasonic, as a parent, one should not only think of their own career but also not neglect their children’s education!" Takizawa Shikou said with an upturned corner of his mouth, pretending to be earnest, "Luckily, this disc is in my hands. If it had leaked out, not only would your son be doomed, but it would also affect you."

Panasonic Jun turned his head and stared at him, his face twitching slightly, fury reaching its peak.

He knew his son well and was aware that Panasonic Qingyun was not that kind of person. The fact that he had ended up this way must surely be a scheme by Takizawa Shikou, the shame of all shameless!

"What kind of look is that, Judge Panasonic?" Takizawa Shikou’s face hardened, and he rebuked loudly, "I have compromised my professional ethics for the sake of internal harmony and unity! Instead of being grateful, you dare to glare at me, do you really want to force me to execute the law impartially?"

"Hmph—" Panasonic Jun took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your consideration, Dean Takizawa. I’ll remember this. I have always been one to repay kindness!"

Indeed, he was a man who bore grudges, or he wouldn’t have targeted the Panasonic family over incidents from his childhood.

The reason he threatened Takizawa Shikou so brazenly was that he had the confidence to retaliate, knowing that the other party wouldn’t dare annihilate him, otherwise, he would have made the CD public and gone through legal procedures rather than showing it to him.

"No need to repay the kindness. I’ve never been one to seek repayment for my graciousness," Takizawa Shikou said with a faint smile, then changed the topic, speaking slowly, "I’ve heard the Cabinet intends to nominate you to succeed the position of Dean of the Supreme Court. Congratulations, my superior will soon be under my leadership, so please look after me."

He couldn’t be more exhilarated. If he had to describe it, it felt just as amazing as being "owned" by Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"Rumors! Absolutely rumors! It’s not yet time for the Dean to retire. Moreover, even if the Dean were to retire, it’s your responsibility to step up. What merit or ability do I, a mere judge, have?" Panasonic Jun firmly denied the rumor, then added, "Besides, even if it were true, if a subordinate fails to discipline his child, causing him to make a grave mistake, how could I shamelessly accept such an appointment?"

His heart bled, but he had no choice but to give up this chance for career advancement. After all, Takizawa Shikou didn’t want to end things in mutual destruction, and neither did he, especially since he was currently at a disadvantage.

"How all parents’ hearts ache." With an air of lament, Takizawa Shikou waved his hand and said, "Let’s pretend this never happened. Judge Panasonic, you may go busy yourself. But strengthen your child’s education."

"Yes!" Panasonic Jun bowed again and turned to leave.

He didn’t rush home to summon Panasonic Qingyun for a lecture but coolly went about his work as if nothing had happened.

After all, at this point, he could only choose to accept things.

And then wait for the right moment to retaliate.

Many people actually understand this principle, but when they’re overcome with emotion, they just can’t control themselves. Those who can manage their emotions often achieve greatness.

At the Police Headquarters, Aoyama Xiu Xin pushed open the door to Asai Ayumi’s office, "Join me for a dinner on Saturday."

The Crown Prince’s grand and intricate engagement ceremony was set for the following Saturday, with the engagement dinner to be held that evening.

For such a significant and formal occasion, it was imperative to have his official fiancée accompany him, so he had to inform Asai Ayumi a few days in advance to prepare her attire and jewelry and to keep the evening free.

"What dinner?" Asai Ayumi asked curiously.

Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t explain, "You’ll know when the time comes, just dress up nicely."

"So secretive," Asai Ayumi muttered, pouting.

Aoyama Xiu Xin closed the door and returned to his own office.

"Ding-dong-ding-dong!"

He had just sat down when the telephone rang.

"Mosi Mosi, this is Aoyama Xiu Xin."

"This is Asakawa Xia. I’m on the second floor at the café across from your Police Headquarters. Come see me now."

Asakawa Xia’s words ended, and she hung up immediately.

She didn’t give Aoyama Xiu Xin any chance to refuse.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

"Dammit!" Aoyama Xiu Xin cursed as he listened to the dial tone. Yanchuan Xianyou was at least courteous, but this woman really did treat him like a dog to be summoned.
