Chapter 338: Chapter 309: The CPU Burned Out! Completely Defenseless

"Senior Brother, how did you know?"

Asakura Yurong asked with a pale face.

Only she and Aoyama Xiu Xin knew about this matter.

Could it be...

She bit her red lips tightly and clenched her fists.

"Just by looking at you, I could see through the reason," Kikumura Hazuma sighed and answered.

Asakura Yurong felt relieved, so it was not Aoyama Xiu Xin who had told him, and Senior Brother Kikumura had no evidence.

She instantly calmed down a lot and spoke softly to Kikumura Hazuma, "Senior Brother, thank you for your concern and kind intentions, but Police Chief Aoyama has done nothing to me, so how can there be any talk of whistleblowing or exposure?"

As long as no one could produce concrete evidence, she would never admit to this affair, after all, she had her pride.

Though she was reluctant to admit it and felt regret and aggrieved afterward, she had enjoyed it at the moment when Aoyama Xiu Xin had taken advantage of her, and had found joy in it.

This was a little secret between her and Aoyama Xiu Xin, unspoken yet filled with both humiliation and pleasure.

"Yurong, how can you defend Aoyama Xiu Xin like this?" Kikumura Hazuma disbelieved, then speculated, "Are you worried that with his status he might face retaliation? Don’t worry, I will protect you!"

"Senior Brother Kikumura, please be careful with your words, do not fabricate stories about Police Chief Aoyama anymore. He really has done nothing to me, please leave now, I still have work to deal with," Asakura Yurong said politely.

Why did this person love to meddle so much?

Kikumura Hazuma felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Was Asakura Yurong deliberately protecting Aoyama Xiu Xin? Was she thus condoning his advances, which then was not an advance but a flirtation?

He was filled with uncontrollable rage and immense sorrow.

I was the first one here!

"Yurong..."

"Senior Brother, please leave," the usually gentle Asakura Yurong said defiantly for once, repeating firmly with a stern face.

Kikumura Hazuma’s heart was wrung with pain, but he was helpless and could only nod, walking away dejectedly.

"Bang!"

The moment the door closed, he leaned against the door panel, his eyes lifeless. He had intended to strike hard at Aoyama Xiu Xin through Asakura Yurong, but instead, he had hurt himself.

Blocking my path, stealing my love.

Aoyama Xiu Xin, I will never coexist with you under the same sky!

He suddenly thought of Asai Ayumi. What if he told her about Aoyama Xiu Xin and Asakura Yurong?

There couldn’t be a woman in the world who wouldn’t be jealous.

Especially someone like Asai Ayumi, born into a wealthy family, her possessiveness must be stronger.

As for the fact that doing this would expose his conflict with Aoyama Xiu Xin to the public, he was too preoccupied to worry about that, since Asakura Yurong had obviously harbored feelings for Aoyama Xiu Xin and would have told him about the incident already; there was no point in hiding any longer.

Asai Ayumi would certainly not let Aoyama Xiu Xin off.

And she wouldn’t spare Asakura Yurong, the other woman.

And when the matter blew up, and Asakura Yurong’s reputation was ruined, he could then extend a helping hand and surely win her trust, then keep her for his own enjoyment.

A blessing in disguise, perhaps?

Kikumura Hazuma felt rejuvenated by the thought.

Resolved to act, he immediately went to see Asai Ayumi.

"Knock, knock, knock."

He knocked on the door after arriving at Asai Ayumi’s office.

"Come in."

Kikumura Hazuma entered and bowed politely, "Police Chief Asai, sorry for the disturbance."

"So, it’s Police Chief Kikumura," Asai Ayumi recognized him and chuckled teasingly, "What wind has blown you here? Police Chief Aoyama’s office is next door, could you have knocked on the wrong door?"

"I’m here to see you," Kikumura Hazuma said seriously, sighing, "There’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time and felt I should tell you."

"Oh?" Asai Ayumi raised her eyebrows and gestured for him to sit, "Go ahead, I’m all ears."

"Please be mentally prepared, Police Chief Asai," Kikumura Hazuma didn’t sit down, his eyes showing sympathy as he spoke slowly, "I recently discovered that Police Chief Aoyama and one of our own, Asakura Police Chief, are maintaining an improper relationship. Although he is my superior, as a married man, I despise such unfaithful behavior. I believe he shouldn’t be unfaithful to you, so I chose to be the whistleblower."

"Is this true?" Asai Ayumi narrowed her eyes.

Kikumura Hazuma, feeling secretly delighted, nodded firmly and assured, "Not a word of it is false!"

Asai Ayumi’s face darkened, and without a word, she grabbed the phone and called Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Come to my office."

"Police Chief Asai, I feel much lighter after speaking out. I fear I am not suitable to stay here any longer, I’ll take my leave," Kikumura Hazuma said.

However, Asai Ayumi stopped him, "There’s no need for that, Police Chief Kikumura. Since you are the informant, please wait a moment to hear what Mr. Aoyama has to say."

"Sure!" Kikumura Hazuma responded, a sly smile forming on his lips, waiting to see Aoyama Xiu Xin’s debacle.

Let’s see how you flirt with the woman I fancied first.

I’m about to set your backyard on fire!

Two minutes later, Aoyama Xiu Xin pushed the door and entered.

"Eh, Police Chief Kikumura is here?" Aoyama Xiu Xin looked at Kikumura Hazuma in surprise, then turned to Asai Ayumi and asked, "What did you want to see me about?"

"What’s the matter?" Asai Ayumi scoffed lightly, and calmly asked, "Police Chief Kikumura told me that things between you and Asakura Yurong of the Internet Security Department are ambiguous, is that true?"

Aoyama Xiu Xin turned his head towards Kikumura Hazuma.

"Sorry, Police Chief Aoyama, I just can’t condone such behavior, nor can I stand seeing Police Chief Asai left in the dark. Asakura Yurong is my junior sister, naive and inexperienced; I couldn’t watch her take the wrong path," Kikumura Hazuma said righteously, but his mocking eyes were undisguised.

I am the whistleblower, what can you do about it?

"And you’re still quite responsible," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a forced smile, then turned back to Asai Ayumi and openly admitted, "He’s right, what about it?"

Kikumura Hazuma was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.

Doubting if Aoyama Xiu Xin was out of his mind.

You aren’t trying to argue at this point, still acting so confidently, aren’t you afraid Asai Ayumi might call off the engagement?

"It’s nothing much, just that you never mentioned such big news to me, having to hear it from someone else. Don’t you consider me your fiancée?" Asai Ayumi spoke with a tone of grudging complaint.

Kikumura Hazuma’s eyes widened in disbelief, suspecting he was hallucinating, and looked incredulously at Asai Ayumi emphasizing, "Police Chief, he’s having an affair!"

"I know, I allowed it. Is there a problem?" Asai Ayumi replied as if it were the most natural thing.

"Not... not... this..."

Kikumura Hazuma felt as though his CPU was about to overload and burn out, his gaze shuttling back and forth between this couple. Are you talking about some kind of newfangled romance?

"Police Chief Asai, did you not understand what I said? She’s been unfaithful with another woman behind your back; he’s sorry, he betrayed you!"

Kikumura Hazuma said loudly, emphasizing every word.

"I know, but what can you do? I love him, so no matter what he does, I’ll forgive him." Asai Ayumi looked tenderly at Aoyama Xiu Xin, her eyes nearly brimming with tears.

Kikumura Hazuma was dazed, completely flustered, his mouth agape, he asked incredulously, "Not... what does he have to deserve this!"

Asakura Yurong took his side, Asai Ayumi was so forgiving—did Aoyama Xiu Xin have some kind of magic?

He really wanted to experience it and confirm this point.

"That’s what love is, you wouldn’t understand," Asai Ayumi shook her head, a hint of mocking derision flashing in her eyes.

Ha, trying to stir up trouble?

I knew all along what kind of character Aoyama Xiu Xin was, my expectations of him have already been lowered to the ground, so nothing he does can disappoint me anymore.

Let alone betray me, I wouldn’t even be surprised if he committed treason.

Kikumura Hazuma wasn’t from the southwest of China; otherwise, he might have cursed, "I love your mother selling twists!"

He looked up, speechless, his mind a chaotic mess.

He never expected things to turn out this way.

"Police Chief Kikumura, regardless of your intentions, as Ayumi’s fiancé, I have to thank you so deeply for thinking of her, I’ll definitely retaliate... cough, repay you," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a feigned smile.

Kikumura Hazuma’s mouth twitched, and after one last look at the bizarre couple, he slammed the door as he left.

His plan had no flaw.

It was damn Asai Ayumi’s brain that had a problem!

"Bang!"

Just as the door closed, the smile on Asai Ayumi’s face vanished instantly, and with a cold snort, she said, "You still can’t keep it in your pants, I really should cut off your disaster at its root!"

This fiancé had it all; only his CD was short.

"Alright, alright, don’t be angry," Aoyama Xiu Xin apologized, stepping forward to embrace her and sat her down on a chair.

Asai Ayumi struggled briefly, then allowed herself to be held, saying, "That Kikumura Hazuma wants to mess with you, it’s good it’s me, otherwise your backyard would already be on fire."

"Yes, yes, that’s why only you with such a broad mind could be brought home as a wife, other women are just for fun," Aoyama Xiu Xin flattered Asai Ayumi.

Asai Ayumi just hummed without responding.

Aoyama Xiu Xin held her small hand, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said, "We must get rid of this nuisance."

"What are you planning to do?" Asai Ayumi asked.

Aoyama Xiu Xin casually replied, "Have Director Renping transfer him to Osaka for a clerical job."

Getting kicked out of the Warning Hall to a clerical job during the peak of one’s career would end his chances for promotion for life.

That would be even more painful than killing Kikumura Hazuma.

"That simple?" Asai Ayumi was stunned.

"What else?" Aoyama Xiu Xin shrugged, confidently stated, "With this power, of course, crush people outright, why bother with plotting when you can straightforwardly use connections to kick him out?"

He didn’t initially use his connections to transfer Kikumura Hazuma, just to give the police department face and to avoid appearing rebellious and disrespectful.

But now it was that guy, who was rude first.

No one could blame him now.

The police department, knowing the truth, couldn’t fault him either. Blame him for being lascivious? That would be a joke.

If it were just a normal power struggle within the rules, that would be one thing, but playing these dirty tricks, Aoyama Xiu Xin directly kicked him out.

.........

Kikumura Hazuma returned to his office feeling angry, perplexed, and panicked because he knew Aoyama Xiu Xin was sure to retaliate, just not sure how.

Then he reassured himself, come what may. He had his own supporters in the Internet Security Department, and it wouldn’t be easy for Aoyama Xiu Xin to use his superior rank to retaliate easily.

With this in mind, he regained his composure.

This time he didn’t realize that Asai Ayumi’s brain had issues, losing the game by one move, but there was still a fight left to fight.

Until before leaving work in the afternoon.

A sudden phone call struck him like lightning.

He was notified to hand over his duties, reporting to the Osaka Police Headquarters on the first of the next month, to take charge of clerical work.

Clearly, this was Aoyama Xiu Xin’s retaliation.

The punch came unexpectedly, and he was unable to resist.

After hanging up the phone, Kikumura Hazuma sat in his office, staring blankly for a long time, unable to come to his senses.

He felt deeply wronged and saddened.

So, it was that simple for Aoyama Xiu Xin to deal with him, so what was all his previous attempts to overthrow him? A clown’s performance in a pathetic show?

For the first time, he realized how ridiculous it was to inform Asai Ayumi about his betrayal, how laughable it was.

Had he not done so, Aoyama Xiu Xin might have still acknowledged his Deputy Director rank and played along with him.

But now Aoyama Xiu Xin was directly issuing a transfer order, kicking him to Osaka to fend for himself, stripping him of his qualifications to continue this power game.

Kikumura Hazuma felt a deep sense of powerlessness rising within him.

The gap was too huge, how ridiculous had he been before?

He had delusionally imagined eclipsing Aoyama Xiu Xin’s power!

Now, with no future left, the money he spent to secure the Deputy Director position was also gone.

He hated the abuse of power!

"Wuuu wuuu... wuuu wuuu..."

Suppressed sobs echoed through the office.

Men are not supposed to cry easily, but only until their hearts are truly broken, then they cry louder than anyone.
