Tokyo: From Lawless Madpolice to Minister
Chapter 345 - 315: Advantage is Mine! Craftsman Aoyama Xiu Xin

Chapter 345: Chapter 315: Advantage is Mine! Craftsman Aoyama Xiu Xin

On November 1st, Sunday, the weather was clear.

Entering November, Tokyo no longer suffered from the previous scorching heat, nor was it as bitterly cold as in the late winter. A gentle cool breeze was blowing, making people feel comfortable.

On this rare day off, Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t waste his time on work. Instead, he had arranged to go out to sea with Yanchuan Xianyou to a nearby island for fishing.

The waves lapped tirelessly at the rocks beneath their feet.

The two sat side by side, each with a fishing pole in hand.

Facing the sea... where the waves surged powerfully.

From the corner of his eye, Aoyama Xiu Xin admired Asakawa Xia, lying on a beach chair in a white bikini on the sand ahead. Her glowing skin seemed to beckon temptingly.

The sea was rough, but it paled in comparison to her sizable waves.

Asakawa Xia openly flaunted her sexy figure, whereas Asai Ayumi was far more modest, thrashing around in the water in a blue one-piece swimsuit with a skirt, like a duck that had fallen in.

"Nakamura Tatsuyuki seems to have quieted down, right?" It was at that moment a fish bit the hook, and Yanchuan Xianyou stood up, reeling in the line while making a casual remark.

Seeing this, Aoyama Xiu Xin picked up the landing net to assist him and replied, "It’s an illusion. He’s just trying to deceive us into thinking he’s gone underground. I have my people around him. They’ve told me Nakamura Tatsuyuki has just slowed down the pace of the investigation, not abandoned it completely."

As the fishing line was steadily reeled in, a sea fish that seemed to weigh dozens of pounds surfaced, splashing the water with its tail from time to time. Aoyama Xiu Xin, holding the net with one hand, scooped it up effortlessly.

"How strong are you, exactly?" Yanchuan Xianyou gave him a side glance. The handle of the landing net was not short, and with the several-dozen-pound fish within, lifting it ashore with one hand, without even a hint of redness in his face—bet even a strongman couldn’t do as much.

"I don’t know either, but I doubt anyone could withstand my punch," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied with an innocuous grin that made him seem harmless and naively kind, then joked, "Push me too far, and I might punch Nakamura Tatsuyuki to death."

Fishing with him was useless, even wearing a helmet.

But what good was strength? In the end, it was no match for the efficiency of real power; otherwise, it would be Yanchuan Xianyou calling him brother, not the other way around.

"With that strength of yours, if things with Nozawa Financial Corporation were ever exposed, your chances of resisting arrest would be much higher," Yanchuan Xianyou teased.

Aoyama Xiu Xin tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Brother Xianyou, you should hope for the best. I wouldn’t want to use my strength in that situation—better to spend my energy on women."

Then he removed the hook and released the fish back into the water.

After all, the main point was just to have fun fishing.

"What’s so interesting about women? You get tired of them after a few years," Yanchuan Xianyou, already jaded from exotic delicacies, said without any pain, taking a slow breath out, "If Nakamura Tatsuyuki wants to take it slow, let’s play the long game with him. Since we have an informant placed by his side, we’re the ones in the dark and he’s in the light. The advantage is ours, so there’s no need to rush."

There was no need to topple Nakamura Tatsuyuki immediately.

In any country, there are a handful of genuine patriots who stand in direct opposition to those with self-serving agendas, seeing the prospering or decline of their nation as their personal mission, acting selflessly. Today you take down a Nakamura Tatsuyuki, tomorrow another Nakamura Ryosuke might emerge.

A newly emerged Nakamura Ryosuke would be a stranger to Yanchuan Xianyou, someone they knew nothing about and had no experience with. So it was better to keep the Nakamura Tatsuyuki they had an undercover agent with, while they were in a favorable position.

Moreover, people like Nakamura Tatsuyuki tend to stick together. By keeping him around and using the insider to their advantage, they could penetrate the circles of these people. Then, facing either Nakamura Ryosuke or Nakamura Ryosuke, they would always have some initiative.

They wouldn’t find themselves blindly reactive.

"Hey! Brother Xianyou is astute, this move is truly visionary," Aoyama Xiu Xin offered a bit of flattery.

Yanchuan Xianyou chuckled. Although he enjoyed being flattered, he didn’t take such words seriously, "Alright, let’s go have something to eat."

They obviously hadn’t come to the island with just four people.

They’d brought a dedicated service team, including chefs, a bartender, bodyguards, and more.

Power manifests in the ability to command more resources, and human resources are resources too.

"Hey!" Aoyama Xiu Xin answered as he followed Yanchuan Xianyou towards the beach, obliquely ahead. Naturally, people followed behind them to gather their fishing rods and other equipment.

On the beach, umbrellas were erected, with several tables and a grill set up, decorated with already prepared cakes, fruit platters, and drinks, a feast for the eyes.

A chef responsible for the sashimi was deftly and smoothly preparing the ingredients, arranging colorful fish, shrimp, and shellfish on chilled platters; a grill-master, sweating profusely, flipped skewers at the grill, sizzling and popping with oil, as the scent of meat wafted through the air.

Yanchuan Xianyou’s four bodyguards in their neat suits were patrolling and vigilant in the vicinity, while Jin Yucheng, Aoyama Xiu Xin’s bodyguard, seemed much more casual, clad in a black vest that revealed his bronzed, muscular physique, lounging lazily on a rock, soaking up the sun with sunglasses on.

"Your bodyguard looks like he can throw a punch," Yanchuan Xianyou commented as he passed by Jin Yucheng.

After all, those muscles were quite striking.

Aoyama Xiu Xin laughed, "He’s very good at killing."

Speaking of fighting, Jin Yucheng’s skills might not be outstanding, perhaps not even a match for some top ring fighters, but he would certainly be able to kill them.

A well-trained killing machine from a country that prioritizes military prowess, he was absolutely professional in this regard.

"But do you really need protection?" Yanchuan Xianyou looked at Aoyama Xiu Xin with suspicion.

With that kind of strength, it seemed unlikely anyone could get close.

Aoyama Xiu Xin sighed, "Better safe than sorry. Everyone has blind spots. Having extra pairs of eyes to watch out is always good, just in case."

The key was that Jin Yucheng could take a bullet for him.

With his own skills, he didn’t fear close-range assassination, but sniper fire from afar was unpredictable. Incidents of foreigners shooting officials happened all too often.

Aoyama Xiu Xin, devoted to his country, was bound to attract the envy and resentment of mean-spirited people. What if some idiot harbored malicious intent and wanted to physically eliminate him?

After all, he had a lot of blood on his hands.

"You’re really cautious," Yanchuan Xianyou couldn’t help but laugh wryly, thinking that Aoyama Xiu Xin could be bold as anything one moment and as timid as a mouse the next. It wasn’t an era of political instability, so where were all these assassinations coming from?

A certain former Prime Minister who had retired had something to say about that.

Oh, wait, he couldn’t say anything.

Because he had forever closed his mouth.

"Xianyou, come help me apply sunscreen," Asakawa Xia called out, waving to Yanchuan Xianyou.

Yanchuan Xiu Xin replied, "Apply it yourself."

A shadow passed through Asakawa Xia’s eyes, immediately followed by a bright smile. She turned to Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Then I’ll have to trouble Xiu Xin. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

She knelt on the chair, resting her hands on the backrest, leaning forward. The generous curves beneath her bikini pressing against the backrest seemed ready to burst forth.

"This..." Aoyama Xiu Xin looked helplessly at Yanchuan Xiu Xin, seemingly to say: I don’t want to be involved in your marital spat.

Of course, Yanchuan Xiu Xin knew Asakawa Xia wanted to make him jealous. With contempt in his heart, he shot Aoyama Xiu Xin an apologetic glance, "Then I’ll have to trouble Xiu Xin."

He understood Asakawa Xia and knew if Aoyama Xiu Xin refused, she would be displeased. It would be unreasonable to make Aoyama Xiu Xin carry the burden of their marital discord.

Similarly, he also understood Aoyama Xiu Xin, knowing that although he was lecherous, he was even more ambitious. As long as he was ambitious, he would never do anything inappropriate with another man’s fiancée, so he felt at ease letting him proceed.

As for whether Asai Ayumi would get jealous, obviously, she was not a concern for everyone. That wasn’t important.

"Hi!" Aoyama Xiu Xin gave a bow.

He then turned and walked towards Asakawa Xia.

Seeing this, Asakawa Xia’s pretty face darkened, and after a huff, she turned and lay down on the chair, awaiting her sunscreen application.

As she laid down, the graceful curves of her back were accentuated. The skimpy bikini barely covered the essentials. Her voluptuous assets, compressed like snow cakes, spread to the sides, enticing onlookers.

"Big sister, if I may be so bold."

Aoyama Xiu Xin bowed and then squatted down, pouring sunscreen into his hand, and began to apply it from Asakawa Xia’s back. Her skin was naturally soft and smooth, and with the layer of sunscreen, it felt even more delicate under his hands.

Playing with a rich man’s daughter—so tender!

He continued downward, waist, hips, legs, even carefully applying it to her fair little feet. However, as he applied the sunscreen, Asakawa Xia’s delicate body trembled slightly, her cheeks flushed ever redder, obviously reacting to his skilled touch.

"Do you need the front too, big sister?"

Aoyama Xiu Xin’s nimble fingers glided over her waist, asking softly.

Asakawa Xia didn’t answer. Her cheeks were as red as a cooked shrimp, and fine sweat beaded on her forehead. She bit her red lips as if enduring something tough. Suddenly, she moaned softly, shuddered twice, and let out a long breath.

"Big sister, you..."

Aoyama Xiu Xin looked down, and to his shock,

The sight was red and moist, resembling the scenic beauty of Jin Yucheng.

"Shut up!" Asakawa Xia’s originally dazed eyes instantly cleared, and she turned her blushing, annoyed face to glare at him, "You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"

"Injustice, big sister! I didn’t dare touch your private area. Besides, it’s my first time seeing someone react like this," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied innocently.

Asakawa Xia felt immensely embarrassed. She instinctively clenched her legs to hide the tell-tale dampness. If Aoyama Xiu Xin wasn’t doing it on purpose, did that mean she was that aroused?

She refused to admit it and was determined to blame Aoyama Xiu Xin, "It’s definitely you, doing it on purpose. I can tell. Get lost; you don’t need to apply it anymore. And you better not tell anyone about this, or you’re dead!"

"Hi!" Aoyama Xiu Xin set the sunscreen aside, stood up, and bowed, "Please call me when you need my help again."

He then turned and walked back to Yanchuan Xiu Xin.

"That woman taking her anger out on you again?" Yanchuan Xiu Xin could only see from afar that Asakawa Xia was talking to Aoyama Xiu Xin about something but couldn’t hear their conversation.

Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled helplessly and shook his head.

She was doing more than just taking her anger out on me.

She was also sprinkling it on me.

Yanchuan Xiu Xin sighed helplessly, "Well, what’s done is done. Let’s eat, try the beef I grilled."

He picked up a skewer of meat and passed it over.

"Xiu Xin." Asai Ayumi came over from swimming in the sea, her body still dripping wet.

"Try Brother Xianyou’s cooking," Aoyama Xiu Xin handed her the beef skewer he had just received.

"Hi!" Asai Ayumi gave a radiant smile, took the skewer, and carefully took a bite, then her beautiful eyes widened, "Oh, it’s delicious!"

Yanchuan Xiu Xin couldn’t help smiling upon hearing that, "I actually thought about becoming a chef before."

"To govern a great country is like cooking a small fish; Brother, you’re also a chef now," Aoyama Xiu Xin teased.

Yanchuan Xiu Xin burst into hearty laughter.

"Xiu Xin, oh Xiu Xin, that mouth of yours!"

Asai Ayumi rolled her eyes. Aoyama Xiu Xin’s tongue was getting more and more skillful, able to excite her every night, and now even men.

While the three enjoyed their meal, Asakawa Xia walked toward the sea to swim and mask the wet spot on her shorts, otherwise, she’d be too embarrassed.

However, after a swim, she still felt uncomfortable, sticky and clammy. She swam towards a large rock, planning to hide behind it and wash her shorts. Wearing them like this was unbearable.

"Eh, where’s big sister? She was just here."

Asai Ayumi was the first to notice Asakawa Xia’s absence.

Yanchuan Xiu Xin scanned the beach and didn’t see her. His expression changed dramatically, and he stood up quickly. Not loving Asakawa Xia was one thing, but he still cared about her.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

A scream echoed from behind a large rock.

That was Asakawa Xia’s voice.

Aoyama Xiu Xin ran over first.

Jin Yucheng followed close behind, leaping to his feet.

Only then did the others react and hurriedly followed.
