Chapter 290: Chapter 273: Emergency, Simple and Rough, One Force Breaks Thousands of Laws

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"

The telephone’s ring echoed in the empty office.

Having changed out of her clothes in the back room and ready to leave work, Asakawa Xia emerged, stepping out barefoot in a light blue strapless dress.

She had a generous build, which when constrained by a shirt and suit was not so noticeable, but now the thin fabric of the dress seemed hardly sufficient, revealing almost half of her ample breast, trembling as if a single larger step would set it completely free.

Her waist was cinched finely, further emphasizing her full, moon-like curves, and the legs beneath the skirt, unadorned by stockings, were pale and smooth, flawless like fine jade.

Holding a makeup mirror in one hand, she casually picked up the receiver with the other, her moist red lips slightly parting, "Speak."

"Miss Asakawa, this is Yokomaku Reihong."

"How did you get my phone number?" Asakawa Xia frowned, slightly annoyed as she inquired.

Just hearing the man’s name seemed to taint her ears, stirring her impatience.

"Miss Asakawa, please listen to me..."

Asakawa Xia hung up directly, turning back to the inner room. In her view, the other party was probably just groveling for mercy—what gave them the right to waste her time?

And to request that she hear him out, huh, as if he was worthy?

"Beep-beep-beep."

On the other end, Yokomaku Reihong, turning ashen with rage at the sound of the busy signal, thought, this bitch!

But he had no choice but to take a deep breath and dial again.

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"

"Idiot!" Just as she reached the door of the back room, Asakawa Xia heard the telephone ring again and cursed irritably before hastily turning back to pick up the phone, her voice cold as she warned, "Call again and you’re finished!"

She suspected that the chief of the Central Police Station had given her number to Yokomaku Reihong; that blind old fool—apparently he had had enough of being chief.

"Ayase Yuki is dead!" Yokomaku Reihong blurted it out, taking advantage of the moment Asakawa Xia was caught off-guard to quickly add, "Miss Asakawa, Ayase Yuki has just died, right in our police station’s interrogation room."

"And? What does that have to do with me?" Asakawa Xia quickly regained her composure and retorted after a brief moment of shock.

She couldn’t let herself get involved in this.

Yokomaku Reihong’s tone became instantly frantic, filled with anger and helplessness, "Miss Asakawa! How can you say that? I’m doing all this to help you! If you don’t care about me, then I’m finished!"

"It was your hospital’s surgery mishap that led to Ayase Yuki’s disfigurement, they came to report it, and you had our chief suppress it for you, but I was actually the one who handled it. Everything has been to help you resolve your troubles! You absolutely can’t ignore me!"

He was in a panic, speaking rashly as if grasping at Asakawa Xia as his last hope.

"But I didn’t tell you to arrest people at random, let alone kill anyone. We aren’t close, so please stop calling," Asakawa Xia stated mercilessly, cutting ties with the man on the other end, ready to hang up as she finished her firm reply.

Yokomaku Reihong quickly continued, "Ayase Ye is still out there! Miss Asakawa, if Ayase Ye finds out her daughter is dead, she will not stop until she’s caused you more trouble. If you will just help me this one time, I will take care of her for you."

The hand Asakawa Xia had raised to hang up the phone paused mid-air at these words, her expression wavering.

Murder was the most primitive means.

It was one she had previously disdained to use.

But it was also the most effective, with Ayase Yuki dead, if they killed Ayase Ye too, it would prevent any complications and resolve all troubles.

But...

"Are you trying to tempt me into murder?" Asakawa Xia scoffed coldly. "Ayase Yuki’s death has nothing to do with me; I won’t let you kill Ayase Ye either. Solve your own problems."

While she harbored murderous intentions towards Ayase Ye, she did not plan to let Yokomaku Reihong do the deed, for Aoyama Xiu Xin was clearly more trustworthy compared to him.

If she let Yokomaku Reihong kill Ayase Ye, she would have to help him cover up the incident with Ayase Yuki’s death.

But if Aoyama Xiu Xin did it...

She could avoid that troublesome step entirely.

"But what if I’ve made a recording?" Yokomaku Reihong’s voice, filled with fear, turned cold and mocking.

Asakawa Xia was momentarily stunned. "What do you mean?"

"The entire conversation just now—I’ve recorded it all. Miss Asakawa, you have to help me; otherwise, I’ll blow us both up!" Yokomaku Reihong played with the recorder in his hand, his threat casual.

You arrogant little wretch, keep on raging.

Asakawa Xia was shocked and enraged, her chest heaving with ire, her teeth clenched as she stated, "Ayase Yuki’s death has nothing to do with me, and I didn’t tell you to arrest her!"

She had thought he was seeking her out in desperate need of help, not realizing he meant to blackmail her with a recording.

"That’s true, but just now you didn’t deny that everything started with the surgery mishap at your hospital, and you didn’t deny having used your influence to suppress the complaint made by Ayase Ye and her daughter," Yokomaku Reihong snickered, his voice somber, "Once exposed, that could cause you considerable trouble, no? Miss Asakawa, if you don’t give me a way out, even if I die, I’ll make sure to tear a piece from you!"

Even over the phone, Asakawa Xia could imagine the fierce and ferocious expression on his face at that moment.

Truly ignorant and barbaric commoners!

She cursed vehemently in her heart.

"I’ll think about it," said Asakawa Xia, though she already had an idea and merely wanted to mollify him.

With roles reversed, Yokomaku Reihong now spoke with ease, "Make it quick; we don’t have much time."

His words barely fell when he hung up first.

A scheming smile crept onto his face—if he handled this well, he could not only escape trouble but also become inextricably linked with Asakawa Xia, skyrocketing to success.

"Every cloud has a silver lining, ha-ha!"

Unable to contain himself, Yokomaku Reihong laughed uproariously.

"Beep-beep-beep."

Listening to the busy signal in the receiver, Asakawa Xia’s face twitched with anger. Besides her parents, elders, and Yanchuan Xianyou, no one had ever dared to hang up on her before!

"Threatening me? Hanging up on me?" Asakawa Xia muttered to herself, a vicious glint in her beautiful eyes. Since it was about killing to silence someone, why not kill Yokomaku Reihong as well?

That guy thinks he can get a hold of me like that.

Ha, what a deluded dream.

Thinking this, she immediately called Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"Mosi Mosi, this is Aoyama Xiu Xin."

Aoyama Xiu Xin was already close to the Central Police Station.

"I’m Asakawa Xia." Asakawa Xia’s rounded butt was half perched on the edge of the desk, her skirt hiking up to reveal a stretch of fair thigh; she spoke with an indifferent tone, "Ayase Yuki couldn’t withstand the interrogation and died."

"What?" Aoyama Xiu Xin was shocked, he pulled over to the side of the road, gestured for Ayase Ye to wait in the car for him, and got out of the car swearing, "Idiot! What the hell is Yokomaku Reihong doing? I finally convinced Ayase Ye to take the money and settle things, and now, at this time, Ayase Yuki is dead?"

Ayase Ye and Asakawa Hospital had a hard standoff for the sake of her daughter’s dignity, and she chose to compromise for her daughter’s life, but now her daughter first lost her beauty and then her life.

What did she have to worry about from now on?

As long as she wasn’t dead, she would never give up seeking justice!

"What?" Asakawa Xia, upon hearing that Aoyama Xiu Xin had already persuaded Ayase Ye, was a bit taken aback, and then felt even more intense hatred toward Yokomaku Reihong, saying, "That bastard even threatened me... Xiu Xin, for the sake of the Yanchuan Family’s reputation, help me kill him and get the recording back."

In her eyes, Aoyama Xiu Xin was equivalent to a retainer of the Yanchuan Family, personally recruited by her fiancé Yanchuan Xianyou; there was absolutely no issue with his loyalty.

Using Aoyama Xiu Xin was more reliable than using Yokomaku Reihong.

Damn it, fuck!

Aoyama Xiu Xin knew that if this woman dared let him arrest people randomly, there would come a day when she dared to ask him to kill.

But her heart was indeed damn ruthless.

"Sister-in-law, it’s not necessarily true that we have to kill him to get the recording back. Ayase Yuki’s death still needs someone to be held responsible, doesn’t it?" Aoyama Xiu Xin suggested.

Killing was always the least desirable option, and even more so when it involved killing a police chief—he didn’t want to take that risk.

However, he was very interested in that recording.

Asakawa Xia had just been a bit blinded by anger, but after hearing these words, she calmed down somewhat, "What do you want to do?"

"Yokomaku Reihong should still be at the station waiting for your response. In such a short time, there’s no chance to back up the recording. I will charge straight into his office and take the recording pen," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied calmly.

Asakawa Xia thought there would be some clever and meticulous method, but hearing this crude approach, she was somewhat taken aback, "Just... just like that?"

"Just like that!" Aoyama Xiu Xin affirmed with certainty.

Simple and crude yet effective, much like the business battles of later generations fighting over company seals—focusing on an unrefined broadsword, without the need for finesse, one move breaking all methods!

Catching Yokomaku Reihong off guard was the goal.

If they carefully devised a plan, they would only give the enemy time to hide or back up the recording pen.

"And after that?" Asakawa Xia asked again.

Aoyama Xiu Xin glanced at his watch, "There’s no time to explain now, sister-in-law. The sooner the plan is executed, the better. Just watch me operate."

He didn’t want to waste too much time talking with this woman.

If she weren’t concerned about the reputation of being the Yanchuan family daughter-in-law, Aoyama Xiu Xin couldn’t care less about her wellbeing.

Since he was dining at the Yanchuan’s table,

He had to solve their worries, or else what would he eat if the pot was smashed?

"Alright." Although Asakawa Xia was still a bit uneasy, she could only trust Aoyama Xiu Xin.

After hanging up the phone, Aoyama Xiu Xin walked back to the car.

"Beep~Beep~Beep~"

Another person dared to hang up on me today!

But Asakawa Xia wasn’t as annoyed as when Yokomaku Reihong hung up on her; she just stomped her foot in frustration.

The first thing Aoyama Xiu Xin did when he got back into the car was to make sure the doors were locked, and then he turned to Ayase Ye with a solemn face and said, "I just received some news."

Seeing his demeanor, Ayase Ye’s heart skipped a beat. She pressed her lips tightly together, looking anxious and uneasy.

"Ayase Yuki couldn’t withstand Yokomaku Reihong’s interrogation at the station and died," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a sigh.

Misfortune has a penchant for singling out those already suffering.

Ayase Ye’s pupils dilated, she shook her head in panic, opened her mouth as if she wanted to scream but couldn’t make a sound; several seconds later, she started wailing loudly, pounding on the dashboard and crying.

"Ah! Yuki! My Yuki! My Yuki!"

Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t stop her, but after she had cried for a while and part of her emotions had been vented, he then spoke to comfort her: "I will avenge you."

Upon hearing this, Ayase Ye turned her head to look at him abruptly.

"Yokomaku Reihong doesn’t value human life and doesn’t deserve to be a policeman. No matter who is behind him, I’ll make him pay!" Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded solemnly, speaking with a righteous tone.

He didn’t mention Asakawa Xia at all, and shifted all the hatred directly onto Yokomaku Reihong.

This way, he could not only soothe Ayase Ye but also help Asakawa Xia solve a problem, and by exposing Yokomaku Reihong’s odious deed of causing death, he would also earn credit.

It was a triple win—the best possible outcome.

Of course, the police might lose some reputation, but that wasn’t a big issue. Although there were scums like Yokomaku Reihong in the police, there were also heroes like him.

Ayase Ye couldn’t help crying even more, her heart filled with gratitude, "Thank you, thank you Police Chief Aoyama, you are a good person. If we had come to you sooner, Yuki might not have died!"

See, I am indeed a good person, which means those who are against me must all be bad.

"Please accept my condolences," Aoyama Xiu Xin handed her some tissues, "From now on, you need to cooperate with me completely."

"Uh-huh, as long as... as long as you can avenge Yuki, I’ll do whatever you say," Ayase Ye took the tissues and wiped away tears messily, nodding fervently.

Aoyama Xiu Xin started the car, while simultaneously calling Nakamura Shinichi, "Bring your team to the Central Police Station right away to catch some murderers."
