Chapter 40: Chapter 38: Brother Xiu Xin Begins the Case (Vote for Monthly Tickets! Seeking Followers!)_2

"Husband, how are you feeling?" Aoyama Haruko rushed to her husband, her face filled with tense concern.

Aoyama Sosuke wanted to scold her. Idiot! Can’t you see for yourself how I am? But he was truly scared by his brother’s beating and didn’t dare to act so arrogantly anymore.

Aoyama Xiu Xin sat down on the sofa, casually placing the belt to one side, as he looked at his older brother, who was in disarray and trembling with fear, and said indifferently, "The glory of the Aoyama family will be restored by me. You just stay in Saitama Prefecture and do your job as a County Councilor properly. Stop creating trouble and humiliating yourself; it’s your behavior that’s truly bringing disgrace upon our family! Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Japanese are such masochists. Just a second ago, Aoyama Sosuke was all high and mighty, but now he was as docile as a grandson, nodding and bowing repeatedly.

Although he didn’t believe Xiu Xin’s words in his heart, he didn’t dare to show it on the surface.

Because that guy had really hit to hurt!

And he was doing it while holding his wife with his other hand; what kind of person can do that?

Aoyama Xiu Xin casually picked up the belt.

Aoyama Sosuke was again frightened into a shudder, sitting down on the floor with an expression of terror.

It was only after he saw that Aoyama Xiu Xin was just putting the belt back on that he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still kept a close watch on him, fearing a sudden attack.

Watching him act like a frightened ghost, Aoyama Xiu Xin felt a surge of anger. How on earth did such a coward manage to marry Haruko? He resolved to ask about it someday.

"Sister-in-law, please take my brother to his room and apply some medicine. They’re just superficial wounds; they’ll heal over time." Aoyama Xiu Xin looked towards Aoyama Haruko.

For many years, Haruko had never seen Aoyama Xiu Xin angry, and she was a bit scared, responding subconsciously, "Yes."

"No! There’s no need!" Aoyama Sosuke pushed Haruko away and scrambled up, running out without choosing his path, "I just remembered there’s an important proposal at the county council that needs my immediate signature, I have to go back now. Xiu Xin, Haruko, you should rest early."

He fled so hastily he didn’t even have time to put on his shoes.

He really didn’t want to face Aoyama Xiu Xin, and even less so in front of his wife. Being beaten by his brother in front of her was utterly humiliating!

"Husband! Husband!" Aoyama Haruko stood still for a moment then hurried after him and called out to Aoyama Sosuke who was already in the car, "When will you be back?"

Aoyama Sosuke didn’t even reply and sped off with a press of the gas pedal. Come back? He wanted to live for a few more years.

After all, in his eyes, Aoyama Xiu Xin seemed to have snapped from some provocation. If his brother knew about his affairs in Saitama Prefecture, he’d probably be beaten to death, so he had no plans of returning.

Only if he became a National Member of Parliament would he have the chance to avenge tonight’s humiliation and pay back in spades!

"The meal isn’t eaten yet." Aoyama Haruko watched the tail lights disappear and muttered to herself.

"Right now, my brother feels ashamed in front of you, unsure how to face you, and even more unsure how to face me later, but he will come to his senses eventually."

On hearing the voice, Haruko turned back to look at Xiu Xin, her gaze slightly resentful, "Xiu Xin, why did you..."

"Sister-in-law, you’re not upset with me, are you?" Aoyama Xiu Xin quickly cut off her words, a trace of apprehension in his expression as he pursed his lips, "I just couldn’t stand to see him bully you as soon as he returned, and I especially couldn’t bear to see him hit you."

He knew that Haruko must have some complaints in her heart. As a very traditional Japanese woman, her husband carried more weight in her heart than he did. Moreover, it was because of him that she hadn’t had a chance to spend a moment of tenderness with her husband after a long absence.

That’s why he spoke first, so with the goodness in Haruko’s heart, she surely couldn’t bear to blame him anymore.

Crafty boy.

"Of course not." Seeing her brother-in-law’s expression, the words of complaint Haruko had were immediately swallowed back, and she replied with a bitter smile, "I don’t blame you. You’ve been putting up with a lot for many years. It’s just... Sigh, Xiu Xin, do you want to eat? I’ll go reheat the food."

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, sister-in-law. I am indeed a bit hungry," Aoyama Xiu Xin said, touching his stomach.

After all, hitting someone also exhausts a lot of energy, right?

Aoyama Haruko nodded and turned to walk toward the restaurant.

Watching his sister-in-law’s graceful figure, Aoyama Xiu Xin’s lips slowly curled into a smile.

The sister-in-law is really kind.

Unfortunately, good people are often taken advantage of, which is why he must protect her from bullies.

.........

The next day, Saturday.

Though it was a holiday, the task force established for Takeda couldn’t take a break; all members were working overtime.

That evening, past seven o’clock, Asai Ayumi led Aoyama Xiu Xin and Nakamura Shinichi to a nightclub.

As soon as they entered, a wave of heat mixed with the smell of cheap perfume hit them, and under the dim lights, men and women wildly gyrated their bodies, releasing the stress of the entire day.

The three of them made their way with difficulty through the main hall.

They stopped in front of the door of a private room.

"My informant said that Yamamoto Ken is inside," Nakamura Shinichi turned to confirm with Aoyama and Asai Ayumi.

Yamamoto Ken, on the surface, was a businessman who owned a slaughterhouse, but secretly he dealt in arms trading.

From morning till now, Aoyama Xiu Xin and his team had questioned several arms dealers, but all claimed that no one had approached them recently to buy a large quantity of guns.

"Large quantity" here did not mean the kind of arms deals done in Africa, with trucks loaded with weapons. In Japan, a gun-prohibiting country, selling three to five guns and a hundred bullets at once is already considered a large amount.

But they were not without findings; one person mentioned that Yamamoto Ken had recently taken on a sizable deal.

Sharing this information with the police could earn them good karma and strike a blow to a rival at the same time.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

Nakamura Shinichi pushed open the door, Aoyama Xiu Xin entered first, followed by Asai Ayumi, and last came Nakamura Shinichi, who closed the door behind him.

About a dozen men and women were seated in the private room.

As the three entered, the gazes of everyone on the sofas unanimously focused on them.

"Idiot! Who let you in? Get out, all of you!" a trendily dressed, bald young man spat out his cigarette butt, got up, and walked over to Aoyama Xiu Xin, cursing, "Get out right now!"

Asai Ayumi frowned slightly and instinctively reached into her bosom to pull out her badge, saying, "We are..."

"Slap!" Before she could finish, Aoyama Xiu Xin slapped the bald youth across the face, then without waiting for a reaction, emotionlessly he pushed the youth’s head down hard. The young man immediately lost his balance, his head crashing heavily into the coffee table, blood flowing, emitting a piercing scream.

"Ah!"

The several women in the room, who were there to accompany the drinks, were instantly frightened by the crude and bloody scene, their faces turning pale.

"Impolite," Aoyama Xiu Xin said as he let go of the young man’s head, frowning and disdainfully taking a few paper napkins to wipe the blood off his hands. Without even looking up, he said, "Which one of you is Yamamoto Ken? Step forward."
