Chapter 411: Chapter 365: An Accidental Mishap, Please Help Me, Godfather

For Nakamura Tatsuyuki and Edogawa Ren Shu’s behind-the-scenes scheming, Aoyama Xiu Xin was naturally completely unaware.

At this moment, he was diligently working to make the Empire great again, and his work involved drinking coffee.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Aoyama Xiu Xin put down his coffee, "Come in."

Nakamura Shinichi pushed open the door and entered.

"So it’s Shinichi, but didn’t I just give you a holiday?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked, puzzled.

Due to his hard and exhausting work on the trip to Osaka, Aoyama Xiu Xin had given Shinichi, among a few other subordinates, three days off.

"I’m not here for work." Nakamura Shinichi grinned and stepped forward, pulling out an invitation and handing it to Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Police Chief, I am getting married next month. As my superior and benefactor, you must attend."

"You’re getting married too?" Aoyama Xiu Xin looked surprised as he took the invitation and glanced at it. The bride-to-be was a woman named Yoshino Hezi. He casually tossed it aside, nodding as he responded, "I’ll definitely be there, but how come you never mentioned having a girlfriend? How is she?"

"Hey! Thanks for your concern, Chief. Hezi can be a bit temperamental at times, but she’s a very cute and kind woman," Nakamura Shinichi replied, smiling.

Aoyama Xiu Xin pointed at him, teasing, "The moment you mention your Hezi, you can’t stop smiling. It seems you are really happy. Okay, as my capable subordinate, I’ll give you a big gift when you have your wedding."

For a trusted subordinate, it was necessary to show concern not only at work but also in his personal life.

"Chief, please don’t go to any expense. Your presence alone is an honor for me and Hezi," Nakamura Shinichi’s expression changed as he repeatedly refused the generous gift.

"Enough," Aoyama Xiu Xin interrupted him impatiently, saying, "What gift I bring is my business as a guest; what has it to do with you? Since when does the host decide the guest’s gift? If there’s nothing else, you better go be with your fiancée. I’ve still got work to do."

"Hey!" Nakamura Shinichi bowed and left.

His car was parked in front of Police Headquarters, with a woman in a purple kimono, who was quite attractive, sitting in the passenger seat. Seeing Nakamura Shinichi coming, she eagerly asked before he could even get in, "How did it go?"

Nakamura Shinichi didn’t answer until he was in the car and fastening his seatbelt, then said, "What else could it be? Of course he agreed. I told you there was no need to send the invitation so early."

"Really? That’s great! If Police Chief Aoyama attends our wedding, it will definitely be prestigious!" Yoshino Hezi said joyfully, then frowned and glared at Nakamura Shinichi, "What do you know? With someone as busy as Police Chief Aoyama, who manages countless affairs daily, if we didn’t tell him in advance, how would he arrange his schedule?"

She sighed with regret, "It would have been so prestigious if he could be the best man."

"Enough, Hezi, you dare to think that. I’m too embarrassed to even mention it," Nakamura Shinichi looked upset.

His girlfriend was great in every way and didn’t mind his modest family background, but she was just too concerned about appearances and had a strong sense of vanity, always comparing what they had with others.

"What’s there to be embarrassed about? Ultimately, it’s because you aren’t that close. You need to reflect on your own reasons," Yoshino Hezi chided her fiancé relentlessly, even giving an example, "When my sister got married, her husband’s boss was his best man, and he’s just a department head at the municipal office."

"You need to learn to close the gap with your superiors, establish good relationships, so when something good comes up, they’ll think of you first. Just being good at your job is useless. There are many who are better than you..."

Nakamura Shinichi, with a grim expression, listened to his girlfriend’s endless nagging, saying nothing as he started the car and drove away.

He was embarrassed in case a colleague passed by and overheard their conversation.

In the office, Aoyama Xiu Xin called Asai Ayumi and asked her to note down his attendance at Nakamura Shinichi’s wedding to ensure he didn’t forget due to his busy schedule.

"What gift should we give?" asked Asai Ayumi.

Aoyama Xiu Xin thought for a moment and answered, "Let’s gift him a car, a nice one. He deserves it."

Many police officers were sure to attend Nakamura Shinichi’s wedding, and his gift had to be impressive, something that would make the guests envious and show other officers how right they were to follow him.

"Hey!" Asai Ayumi responded and scribbled this down in her notebook while sitting at her desk.

Although they were not yet married, Aoyama Xiu Xin’s welcoming and sending were already being handled by her.

Just before leaving work in the afternoon, Edogawa Ren Shu hurried into the office, "Chief, something big has happened!"

"What is it?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked, taking off and donning his suit that hung on the rack, casually making his inquiries as the office was still comfortably warm despite the cooling weather.

After all, for those in power, neither the cold nor the heat mattered much, only the common people suffered from it.

Edogawa Ren Shu anxiously said, "There’s a rumor outside that you discovered an account book documenting years of sexual bribery at Tanaka Guikuma’s home, but kept it for yourself without turning it over, intending to profit from it."

Aoyama Xiu Xin, who was adjusting his tie, suddenly paused because he knew this was not a rumor.

The account book of Tanaka Guikuma was indeed in his possession.

And he did indeed plan to profit from it in the future.

After all, he had seen that sin-filled special ledger. People like Du Bian in high positions were not just a few, and the Ministry of Finance, where money was managed, was the epicenter of the disaster.

When he rose to a high position, such people would certainly rise as well, and if used wisely, he could easily control the Ministry of Finance, the moneybag of the country.
