Chapter 292: Chapter 274: Gunshot at the Police Station, Asakawa Xia’s Change of Attitude (Request for Monthly Pass)_2

Sitting on the ground in that moment, he finally breathed his last, his eyes wide open in unyielding death.

The entire office was terrifyingly quiet.

People stared blankly at the figure holding a gun.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."

Amidst a flurry of footsteps, Nakamura Shinichi, who had just arrived at the building upon hearing the shots, rushed upstairs with a few subordinates and forcefully entered the office.

"Police Chief."

Aoyama Xiu Xin casually tossed aside the gun, turned, and addressed the chief, "Yokomaku Reihong’s violent interrogation resulted in the death of Ayase Yuki. Did you know about this?"

He hadn’t intended to kill Yokomaku Reihong, but since the man had given him the opportunity, he couldn’t be blamed for being inhospitable.

"What?" The chief was initially stunned, then hurriedly disclaimed any connection. "I had no idea! How could he dare to do that!"

No wonder Yokomaku Reihong had been so hysterical just now; he had been driven into a corner. The recording pen likely contained his last lifeline.

Idiot, this bastard has doomed himself!

Being the chief, he was bound to be held accountable.

"Police Chief, he’s dead, no risk of recovery." Nakamura Shinichi squatted next to Yokomaku Reihong’s body, checked for breathing, and reported to Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Aoyama Xiu Xin strode out, his hand casually in his pocket, his expression as impassive as still water, and without turning his head, he left behind a command, "Bring back the bodies of Ayase Yuki, Yokomaku Reihong, and everyone involved in the interrogation for a thorough investigation. There will be no leniency!"

"Hey!"

Wherever Aoyama Xiu Xin passed, everyone respectfully lowered their heads to make way, watching his long legs and polished shoes disappear before they slowly raised their heads.

The slightly heavy breathing was intermittent.

"Police Chief Aoyama."

Seeing Aoyama Xiu Xin get into the car, Ayase Ye carefully greeted him with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

She had also heard those two gunshots.

"Yokomaku Reihong is dead. I killed him personally," Aoyama Xiu Xin said calmly.

Ayase Ye’s mouth fell open in shock, then tears welled up, and she sobbed, "Thank you, thank you so much."

She was overwhelmingly moved, not expecting Aoyama Xiu Xin to kill someone to avenge her daughter.

"But... won’t this implicate you?"

"No, Yokomaku Reihong fired first. Your daughter’s case of torture resulting in death will go to trial, and I have only one request: when you face the reporters, consider my position and say less that might tarnish the police’s image," Aoyama Xiu Xin earnestly requested.

Ayase Ye nodded repeatedly, "There are scoundrels like Yokomaku Reihong in the police, but there are also justice warriors like you. I won’t overgeneralize."

Little did she know that Aoyama Xiu Xin was not much better.

"Then please get out of the car. Your daughter’s body will be brought out soon," Aoyama Xiu Xin said.

Ayase Ye hesitated briefly, then opened the car door, stepped out, and deeply bowed to thank him.

Aoyama Xiu Xin sped off with a press on the accelerator.

He first found a place to back up the recording.

Then he called Asakawa Xia.

"Sister-in-law, it’s taken care of. Yokomaku Reihong threatened me with a gun but I killed him in self-defense. Ayase Ye won’t bother Asakawa Hospital anymore. Where are you now? I’ll bring the recording pen to you."

Listening as he rattled off a long string of words.

Asakawa Xia, who had been waiting in the office for news, absorbed this information and a sincere smile spread across her face.

"I’ll wait for you at the hospital."

After hanging up, she leaned back on the couch, her previously tense nerves finally relaxed. She let out a long sigh, her conscience fluctuating.

She suddenly understood why Yanchuan Xianyou valued Aoyama Xiu Xin so highly, the man’s capability was indeed formidable.

It was too convenient to use.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Twenty minutes later, a knock sounded at the door.

"Come in," Asakawa Xia straightened her posture.

Aoyama Xiu Xin pushed the door open and saw Asakawa Xia sitting on the sofa in a strapless dress, her legs pressed together and leaning diagonally, her every move filled with grace.

"Big sister," he stepped forward and bowed deeply.

The glaring whiteness dazzled him slightly.

It seemed that all three of his sisters-in-law were quite voluptuous.

Asakawa Xia asked eagerly, "Where’s the recording pen?"

Aoyama Xiu Xin took out the recording pen and handed it to her.

Asakawa Xia didn’t hesitate and played it in front of Aoyama Xiu Xin, relieved to confirm that it was indeed the content of her recent call with Yokomaku Reihong.

But she immediately harbored new worries, looking meaningfully at Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Is there just one copy?"

She suspected Aoyama Xiu Xin had made backup copies.

"There’s only one," Aoyama Xiu Xin said calmly.

He knew she suspected him of having backups, but he wasn’t afraid because he indeed had a backup.

However, he had no intention of using it to threaten Asakawa Xia; Asakawa Xia and Asai Ayumi were different—this single recording was not enough to manipulate her.

Just look at Yokomaku Reihong.

Daring to do so would be courting death.

Aoyama Xiu Xin only needed to make Asakawa Xia suspect he had backup recordings; this would significantly improve her attitude toward him in the future and give him the courage to say "no" to things he didn’t want to do. That was enough.

You can’t be too greedy; you can’t become fat with just one bite.

Sooner or later, he would crush her under his feet!

"Xianyou trusts you, so I trust you too," Asakawa Xia said with a smile, standing up and facing Aoyama Xiu Xin, her small hand resting on his shoulder, "You’ve helped me so much this time, what would you like in return?"

She suspected that Aoyama Xiu Xin had a backup, but she couldn’t do anything about it based on mere uncertainty.

After all, Aoyama Xiu Xin’s status was different from Yokomaku Reihong’s, and the recording didn’t pose such a great threat to her. Unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t dare use the recording to threaten herself.

So instead of turning against Aoyama Xiu Xin over a suspicion, it was better to improve her previous attitude and treat him well as his big sister—his capabilities were indeed strong, and she might still need him in the future.

I wish this bitch would blow one for me.

A tune that severs the gut, where in the world can sauce be found?

Aoyama Xiu Xin thought to himself, but outwardly he said, "We’re family, no need to be so formal, helping big sister is my duty as a younger brother."

A brother should be used where needed.

"Giggle, no wonder Grandpa and Xianyou like you so much," Asakawa Xia laughed crisply, retracting her hand saying, "Go back and wait, I, as your sister-in-law, will not treat you poorly."

Her attitude was completely different from before.

"Alright!" Aoyama Xiu Xin bowed and then left.

Looking at his watch as he left, it was nearly nine o’clock at night.

So much had happened today.

Finally, he could go home and rest properly.

But contrary to his wishes, he received a call from Panasonic Jiezi, drunkenly inviting him for a drink.

He was quite hungry since he hadn’t eaten yet.

He decided to go and have a bite to satisfy his hunger.
