Chapter 384: Chapter 344: Speaking Bluntly, The Fangs Are Finally Bared (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)

"Clang!"

After arriving at the company, Sankai Seichiro stormed into Chiba Rikim’s office with a grim face and kicked the door open.

"Sankai Supervisor?"

Chiba Rikim instinctively stood up upon seeing this.

"Bang!" Sankai Seichiro marched up to him and, without a word, punched him in the face, knocking his glasses askew, grabbed his collar, and demanded, "Why did Jie Cheng let you hold his shares on his behalf? Are you stir up trouble and turn him against me?"

"It’s not... I’m being wronged! What are you talking about, Supervisor Sankai?" Chiba Rikim fumbled to put his glasses back on, his face a pitiful plea.

Sankai Seichiro interrogated him, "Cut the innocent act! If you’ve done nothing, why would Jie Cheng let you hold his shares and support you for the election of the new president? Speak! What did you tell him!"

"I really don’t know, it was Mr. Jie Cheng and Police Chief Aoyama who approached me themselves, suggesting that I temporarily hold the shares," Chiba Rikim protested loudly.

"Aoyama Xiu Xin?" Sankai Seichiro was taken aback and pressed, "What does this have to do with Aoyama Xiu Xin?"

Realizing that he had said something he shouldn’t have, Chiba Rikim immediately shut up.

"Idiot!"

Sankai Seichiro shoved him away and turned to leave.

"This barbaric guy!" Chiba Rikim stood up from his chair and quickly grabbed the phone to call Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Police Chief Aoyama, Sankai Seichiro just came to me demanding answers about holding Mr. Jie Cheng’s shares. I accidentally mentioned your name in the heat of the moment, and he might be on his way to you now."

He was nervous, worried that Aoyama Xiu Xin might be furious and deny him the presidency he coveted.

"I understand. Did he hit you?" Aoyama Xiu Xin responded calmly on the other end, as this incident was bound to come out in the open sooner or later. That Sankai Seichiro had only just uncovered it was fortunate enough. His strategy to sow discord had been successful; Sankai Seichiro was powerless to reverse it.

"Yes, he did, he did," Chiba Rikim answered.

"Minister Chiba, you’ve been assaulted for no good reason. Don’t you want to report it? You should use the weapon of law to protect yourself," Aoyama Xiu Xin stated.

Chiba Rikim quickly caught on; Aoyama Xiu Xin intended to detain Sankai Seichiro for a few days. He eagerly complied, "I’ll call the police right now."

"Welcome. I believe the responding police will do right by you," Aoyama Xiu Xin hung up the phone.

As long as Chiba Rikim insisted on not reconciling, Sankai Seichiro would be detained for at least ten to fifteen days.

And by the time he was released, East Field Construction Corporation would already be in his grasp.

Aoyama Xiu Xin quietly waited in his office.

"Clang!"

About half an hour later, Sankai Seichiro violently pushed the door open and entered the office, glaring at Aoyama Xiu Xin and demanding, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

He guessed that Chiba Rikim had already informed Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"I intend to make East Field Construction Corporation mine," Aoyama Xiu Xin stated frankly.

On his way there, Sankai Seichiro had pondered all possibilities, even entertaining the idea that it was all a misunderstanding. But now, hearing the confession, rage was uncontrollable, "I will not let you succeed!"

"Oh, is that so? May I ask how do you plan to stop me?" Aoyama Xiu Xin spread his hands with a fearless smile, lit a cigarette leisurely and puffed smoke rings. "Right now, Dongye Yuusei probably considers you his father’s murderer, an ambitious opportunist after his inheritance. Do you think he will believe you?"

"You idiot!" Overcome with anger, Sankai Seichiro rushed forward and grabbed Aoyama Xiu Xin’s collar.

Aoyama Xiu Xin, with a cigarette in his mouth, nonchalantly puffed away, watching him with an amused expression.

In the end, Sankai Seichiro’s rationality prevailed, and he did not proceed to violence. Instead, he fiercely released Aoyama Xiu Xin and articulated every word, "I will find a solution, as long as there is a chance."

Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled ambiguously, noncommittal.

Sankai Seichiro left with a gloomy face.

No sooner had he stepped out of the Police Headquarters building than two police officers who had been waiting approached him quickly.

"Are you Sankai Seichiro? We are from Shinjuku Police Station. Do you know Chiba Rikim? He has reported you for assault. Please come with us to assist with the investigation."

Sankai Seichiro was mockingly amused, not expecting Chiba Rikim to be so shamelessly brazen to make a police case over such a petty matter, it was absurd...

Suddenly, it dawned on him, he spun his head to look back at the office building behind him, his face turning distinctly ugly, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly.

This must be Aoyama Xiu Xin’s doing, intending to lock him up for a few days, which meant the adversary was confident in completing the hostile takeover within that time.

"Come with us."

Before he could think further, the two police officers had already flanked him and were escorting him out.

Angry, frustrated, and helpless, Sankai Seichiro exclaimed, "Ah!"

Contemplating Dongye Yuusei’s misunderstanding and the overwhelming sense of powerlessness, he let out a sorrowful scream, then dropped his head dejectedly.

Facing such meticulously planned aggression by a rogue bureaucrat like Aoyama Xiu Xin, he was utterly defenseless.

"He’s a good man, but sadly, I am not."

Aoyama Xiu Xin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling office window, a cigarette hanging from his lips, hands in his pockets, looking down as Sankai Seichiro was taken away with a faint smile.

The most troublesome obstacle had been neutralized; he could now savor his imminent feast worry-free.

Additionally, through Shinichi Nakamura’s report, he had also discovered the truth behind Dongye Yuusei’s black eye.
