Chapter 358: Chapter 324: Edogawa Renju Assists, Arrogant Aoyama Xiu Xin (Requesting Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month!)_2

Aoyama Haruko didn’t stop, her fair and delicate hands and feet wrapped in black silk stockings rhythmically continued the massage, her cheeks slightly flushed, her forehead already sweating from exertion, yet she remained focused.

"Master," Hashimoto Miho said, "just now, Dongye Gen met with me and asked me to mediate the conflict between him and you. He also promised a generous reward."

Aoyama Xiu Xin chuckled lightly, his eyes gleaming as he said, "When a fool eagerly offers money, it’s foolish not to take it. It will allow you to buy a few more new outfits to please me, but of course, things can’t go his way. In a moment, you do this... Ah! Hiss~"

"Master, what’s wrong?" Hashimoto Miho asked.

Aoyama Xiu Xin glanced at his sister-in-law, who looked somewhat jealous, and said, "It’s nothing, let’s leave it at that."

His sister-in-law had just kicked him a bit too hard.

After hanging up the phone, he playfully grabbed his sister-in-law’s slender calf and teased, "What’s the matter, jealous?"

"Not at all," Aoyama Haruko huffed.

Aoyama Xiu Xin looked at his beloved little brother with a pitiful expression and said, "Sister-in-law, you’re so cruel. That kick has made my leg swell up. Look, it’s swollen so big; it might even start oozing pus. You better blow on it to reduce the swelling and suck out the pus."

Aoyama Haruko burst into laughter, coquettishly rolling her eyes at him before leaning down to check the injury.

"Hiss~ Sister-in-law, you’re so kind, I love you."

At that moment, a man could blurt out any sweet nothings without hesitation, with Little Head Dad taking charge.

By the time the swelling had subsided on his end, Hashimoto Miho called again. This time, she was all business.

"Police Chief Aoyama, I hope I’m not disturbing you. Might I have the honor of inviting you out for a drink?"

Clearly, Dongye Gen was right beside her.

"An invitation from Judge Hashimoto is something I naturally cannot refuse," Aoyama Xiu Xin readily agreed.

After Hashimoto Miho gave an address and hung up, she turned to Dongye Gen with an indifferent tone and said, "Aoyama Xiu Xin is quite principled. I can only mediate, but I can’t guarantee I’ll change his mind. President Dongye should be mentally prepared and not set his hopes too high on me."

"As long as Judge Hashimoto does her best, whether successful or not, you will be handsomely rewarded," Dongye Gen courteously replied, interpreting her words as modesty. Aoyama Xiu Xin wouldn’t dare to disrespect her, would he?

After all, aside from their friendship, Hashimoto Miho’s status alone would crush Aoyama Xiu Xin.

He couldn’t possibly be that insolent.

...

At 9:30 PM, dressed in a black kimono and wearing clogs, Aoyama Xiu Xin arrived at an upscale izakaya in the Chiyoda District. After giving Hashimoto Miho’s name, he was led by a waiter to a private room.

Aoyama Xiu Xin pushed open the Changzi Gate and saw Dongye Gen inside, his smile gradually fading.

"Mr. Aoyama has arrived. Please take a seat," Hashimoto Miho greeted him warmly with a blooming smile.

Dongye Gen nodded slightly, "Police Chief Aoyama."

"It seems Judge Hashimoto didn’t invite me out tonight just for drinks," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a sardonic smile as he stepped out of his clogs and walked into the room.

Dongye Gen was surprised. Was Aoyama Xiu Xin so arrogant? Even if he was upset, he shouldn’t speak to Hashimoto Miho in such a tone.

Wasn’t he afraid of offending her?

Hashimoto Miho’s smile remained as she poured Aoyama Xiu Xin a drink, "I know Mr. Aoyama and President Dongye have some differences, but you’re both my friends. It’s better to resolve enmities than to allow them to fester. It’s best to talk things out."

Crash! Aoyama Xiu Xin directly picked up the drink she poured and splashed it in her face, looking at her askance with a cold expression, "You want to play peacemaker, did you give me a heads-up? Are you taking me for granted?"

Dongye Gen watched the scene unfold in utter shock, his head buzzing, convinced that Aoyama Xiu Xin had gone mad.

But what stunned him even more came next.

After being splashed with the drink, Hashimoto Miho not only didn’t fly into a rage, she actually knelt down and deeply bowed to Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Mr. Aoyama, please calm your anger. I thought it was just a minor dispute and wasn’t aware of the full story, so I took the liberty of deciding on my own. I beg you, for my husband’s sake, to not take this matter to heart, ’Red bean mousse private Marseilles!’"

Dongye Gen’s mouth hung open, dumbfounded, the turn of events was nothing like he had imagined.

How could this be! His mind was about to short-circuit.

"If you want to be friends with me, you can’t be friends with that old coot. Make your choice!" Aoyama Xiu Xin snorted coldly and put down his glass, displaying his overbearing arrogance.

Without hesitation, Hashimoto Miho turned and bowed to Dongye Gen, "President Dongye, I’m so sorry."

Dongye Gen opened his mouth to speak but stopped himself, suddenly realizing he might have misunderstood Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Was his true power even greater than he had known? Otherwise, what would make Hashimoto Miho so submissive and desperate for forgiveness, even invoking her husband’s name.

She had just been doused with a glass of wine!

That’s an enormous humiliation!

At the same time, it dawned on him; no wonder Aoyama Xiu Xin had the audacity to make such outrageous demands. It wasn’t hubris; he actually had the confidence to back it up!

In an instant, he broke out in a cold sweat. If he failed to realize this and kept butting heads with Aoyama Xiu Xin, could there be any good outcome for him?

With this thought, he regretted deeply and quickly said to Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Police Chief Aoyama, I implore you not to blame Judge Hashimoto. I asked her to come today to bear witness, hoping to exchange one-tenth of Dongye Corporation’s shares for your forgiveness, and to have my worthless son released from Police Headquarters as soon as possible."

Since Aoyama Xiu Xin was so tough, continuing to fight against him would only result in a beating. Even if it ended in mutual destruction, it wouldn’t be worth it. It was better to simply submit and admit defeat.

Having such a formidable person as a shareholder in the company could only be good for the corporation’s growth.

Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise?

"Is that so?" Aoyama Xiu Xin revealed an amused smile, taunting, "I thought you wanted Judge Hashimoto to pressure me, to fob me off with little rewards and force me into reconciling with you."

"Absolutely not, not at all, I never thought that!" Dongye Gen, his scalp tingling, vehemently shook his head to deny it, as Hashimoto Miho took the initiative to pour Aoyama Xiu Xin another drink, his demeanor even more respectful.

Aoyama Xiu Xin snorted, picked up his glass and drained it in one gulp, "You’re sensible enough, otherwise you might not even be left with one-tenth of your shares. I’ll arrange for someone to contact you. Once the contract is signed, your son can come home. There’s nothing else, so you can go now."

"Yes!" Dongye Gen bowed his head, stood up and bowed again, then hurriedly left with his head down.

After the door closed, only Aoyama Xiu Xin and Hashimoto Miho were left in the private room. A moment of silence passed, and then the two shared a look and burst into uproarious laughter, unable to contain their joy.

"My dear, you’ve been a tremendous help to me tonight."

Aoyama Xiu Xin pounced, pinning Hashimoto Miho down on the tatami, licking the alcohol off her face.

"So, how does master plan to reward me?"

Hashimoto Miho asked with a delirious smile, her seductive eyes like silk.

"Of course, with a stick to serve!"

Soon after, the sounds of frolic and mischief echoed through the private room.

Those conniving lovers were in high spirits after their deception.
