Chapter 284: Chapter 267: Because I’m Also on the List! Ground Self-Defense Force_2

Watching one’s own film production to boost one’s spirit, wouldn’t this process make a great subject for a new indie film?

If the XXX world also had its own Academy Awards, then he would be the best director, best leading actor, best screenwriter.

"Vulgar," Asai Ayumi chided, but she was used to it by now. If you want to film, just film, she thought, rolling over to the edge of the bed. She kicked her slender, nylon-wrapped foot and cooed, "Help me with my shoes."

Aoyama Xiu Xin got up, stretched languidly, and knelt on one knee in front of her. He picked up one of the delicate white high heels with one hand and grasped her slim, silky smooth ankle with the other, gently pinching it a couple of times before slipping the shoe on.

"Mm-hmm, naughty," Asai Ayumi giggled, tapping him lightly on the chest with her other foot.

Once everything was settled, the two of them went downstairs. Aoyama Xiu Xin called out to Asai Ze Xi, "Big brother, let’s head out."

"Huh?" Asai Ayumi was stunned, then incredulously widened her beautiful eyes, "Are we also going to..."

"Yes," Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded calmly.

Although Asai Ayumi wasn’t too keen on this sort of thing, the royalty’s unique status still commanded her respect. Being fiancé to the invited guest made her, the fiancée, share in the honor and glow even more radiantly.

Aoyama Xiu Xin said in a low voice, "When we get married, let him come and give us his blessings too."

Asai Ayumi rolled her eyes, not taking his boastful remark seriously. It was already an honor to receive blessings for the Crown Prince, let alone expecting him to bless us?

Seeing her reaction, Aoyama Xiu Xin felt even more disdain for the royals and the Crown Prince, considering them relics of feudalism that should have been discarded long ago in the new century.

In modern society, where everyone should be equal, there shouldn’t be any emperors or crown princes to oppress the people.

Instead, it should be people like him oppressing the populace!

In the new era, oppression had to keep up with the times too.

.........

Jin Yucheng was driving.

Aoyama Xiu Xin and Asai Ayumi sat in the back.

They were fooling around.

Asai Ayumi bit her red lip slightly, arched her back, her face flushed, emitting enticing moans from time to time.

Although Jin Yucheng kept his eyes straight ahead, the fact that others were present doubled her embarrassment.

"You’re that afraid of dying, huh? Always having bodyguards follow you," Asai Ayumi gasped.

Aoyama Xiu Xin withdrew his hand, wiping it on her expensive gown, and casually said, "I’m not afraid of dying, but I am concerned that the nation and its people would lose me."

Even Jin Yucheng, who always had an icy expression, couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth, almost unable to hold back.

"I think you’re just guilty of too many misdeeds and are afraid of vengeance," Asai Ayumi didn’t hesitate to expose him.

Considering the things Aoyama Xiu Xin had done, he was lucky to be in a law-abiding society. In ancient times, had someone assassinated him, they would have been celebrated as a hero of justice.

But Aoyama Xiu Xin adamantly denied it, "I’ve caught too many bad guys, so I fear their revenge."

In Japan, post-2000, aside from the open-minded Mr. Abe, there haven’t been many notable shooting incidents, but there are quite a few happening now.

Previously, when the Violent Gang was filming, they even used grenades, unlike the Hong Kong Gang that used knives—focusing on efficiency, frequently shooting opposing gang leaders.

In 1995, even the director of Police Headquarters, the top boss of the Japan Police, was shot.

Therefore, he had to take his personal safety seriously. Otherwise, to perish in the middle of building his empire would be truly distressing.

"Is the gift ready?" Asai Ayumi asked.

Aoyama Xiu Xin remained calm and collected, "My personal attendance is already the best gift."

"Stop joking," Asai Ayumi chided.

Aoyama Xiu Xin calmly looked at her.

Asai Ayumi’s expression slowly became tense, her beautiful eyes wide as she stared at him, "Do you really not have a gift?"

"Indeed, there is something, I prepared a heart full of blessings," Aoyama Xiu Xin patted his chest and said.

He had been choosing for a long time at Yehua Yiren’s home—if it wasn’t too expensive and unworthy of the Crown Prince, it was too cheap to be presentable—so he simply decided not to give anything.

And he thought that this was the most wonderful part.

No one would think he couldn’t afford it or was stingy—everyone would think he truly gave his heartfelt blessings.

Face saved, money spared, and he even left an impression of genuine good wishes in the heart of the Emperor.

Who would dare to believe he looked down on that scoundrel of a Crown Prince?

Moreover, he thought it was likely that the other party wouldn’t even check who brought what gifts.

By 8 o’clock, the two arrived at the venue.

Since it was a private event organized by the Crown Prince, the location wasn’t at the palace but in a hotel. For security reasons, the security team had specially arranged personnel on duty.

There are several branches in the security team specifically assigned to protect members of the royal family, somewhat like the old imperial guards.

Along with Asai Ze Xi and Iihara Nishi, they entered the banquet hall—filled with the so-called well-dressed beasts, Aoyama Xiu Xin was in a great mood because they were all his kind.

"Police Chief Aoyama."

"I didn’t expect Police Chief Aoyama to be here."

There were quite a few who knew Aoyama Xiu Xin, and seeing him appear was a bit surprising, but they all greeted him.

Aoyama Xiu Xin was the life of the party among the birds of a feather.

Compared to him, Asai Ze Xi didn’t receive much attention, which somewhat stifled Iihara Nishi, who was good at finding reasons in others. She secretly blamed her fiancé, feeling he had made her lose face.

"Everyone, allow me to introduce my brother-in-law, a Kanagawa County Councilor, who is planning to return to Tokyo next year."

Aoyama Xiu Xin hadn’t forgotten about his beloved brother-in-law.

Asai Ze Xi looked at him gratefully and quickly joined the conversation, drawing on his rich political experience.

Meanwhile, Aoyama Xiu Xin took the opportunity to leave, taking Asai Ayumi to greet Yanchuan Xianyou.

"Brother Xianyou."

"Um." At that moment, Yanchuan Xianyou was chatting with a young man and Asakawa Xia, nodding slightly as he introduced, "This is Ito Sumi, the son of the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ground Self-Defense Force. It turns out he’s your colleague, serving as the chief of the Protective Division at the Police Headquarters."

"I see, Chief Ito. Perhaps because our duties differ, we haven’t had the chance to meet," Aoyama Xiu Xin said warmly, extending his hand. He knew Ito Sumi was the chief of the Protective Division but was unaware of his father being a general.

The Protective Division, under the direct control of the Police Headquarters’ Security Bureau, manages the mobile protection units and Protection Units one through four, as well as the Prime Minister’s Residence Security Team, specialized in protecting the Speaker of the Parliament, Cabinet Ministers, and foreign dignitaries.

Being in touch with all these important personalities, the prestige far exceeds that of the Investigation Division; their work nature is different, and they hardly appear in internal meetings, rarely seen in public.

Ito Shanmu returned the handshake with a light smile, "Mr. Aoyama, the indisputable star of the Police Headquarters, I have long admired your name. Please take good care of me in the future."

"Mutual care, mutual care, we must definitely interact more in the future," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a smile.

Though the Ground Self-Defense Force always had it tough, being suppressed by the Sea Self-Defense Force and having the worst treatment, they had a hundred and fifty thousand rifles! As someone who might need to turn back the wheels of history, he held absolute respect for the power of the gun.

Air Guard, Sea Guard, Land Guard—if anyone was likely to join him in a just cause against the country’s traitors, it would unquestionably be the continuously suppressed, and thus deeply resentful, Land Guard.

Moreover, he wasn’t planning to fight a foreign war; for him, the Land Guard was more useful than the Sea Guard and the Air Guard.

So, seeing this opportunity to connect with the Ground Self-Defense Force, he had to show utmost enthusiasm!

Watching him act this way, Asakawa Xia just scoffed dismissively, but considering the setting, she remained silent.

So it’s not that she lacks manners, but she simply despises maintaining decorum with those of lesser status.

Ah, Schrödinger’s decorum.

"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort have arrived!"

It was at that moment that someone shouted out.
