Tokyo: From Lawless Madpolice to Minister
Chapter 491 - 427: Underwear Can Be Dispensed With, but Bottom Lines Must Not Be Shaken

Chapter 491: Chapter 427: Underwear Can Be Dispensed With, but Bottom Lines Must Not Be Shaken

The dinner party ended, the glitz and glamour faded away.

Guests departed to their respective homes, each to their own bed.

But Aoyama Xiu Xin neither went home nor to bed.

In the early hours, with few pedestrians around, a black Mercedes with its license plates obscured shook back and forth, as a man and a woman inside continued their relentless activity.

Tonight, Qingshui Yasuko had drunk a lot on behalf of Aoyama Xiu Xin, her delicate face flushed like the sunset, her fair neck arched backwards, her scattered hair cascading like a waterfall.

Approximately an hour later, Jin Yucheng finally finished his cigarette. Shivering from the cold outside while keeping watch, he got into the car and first drove Qingshui Yasuko home.

"Senior Police Director, I’ll head inside then. You should rest early," Qingshui Yasuko said to Aoyama Xiu Xin as she stood by her front doorstep and then proceeded to open the car door.

At this moment, save for a thin mermaid skirt, her body was devoid of any excess fabric.

Aoyama Xiu Xin said indifferently, "Tell your son that, from now on, the Beihai Family is not allowed to traffic drugs."

His underwear could be loose, but not his bottom line.

Drug traffickers were like little devils, they all deserved to die.

It was fine if he couldn’t control it before, but now that he could manage their scope of business, he had to enforce a strict prohibition.

Qingshui Yasuko’s expression changed. Seeing Aoyama Xiu Xin’s impassive demeanor, she knew there was no room for negotiation and could only reluctantly comply. She pushed the door open, stepped out, and after watching the car drive away, turned to knock on her own front door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Madam, you’re back."

Qingshui Yi was a dutiful son, waiting up late into the night for his mother’s return. Hearing from the servant that she had come back, he hurried out to greet and check on her.

"Mom, how are you, are you alright?"

He approached quickly with a look of concern and carefully checked for any obvious injuries on his mother.

"What could possibly be wrong? Relax, he doesn’t have any peculiar fetishes," Qingshui Yasuko reassured her son, touched by his concern.

Qingshui Yi hesitated, considering Aoyama Xiu Xin’s stature; even without any tricks, it was enough to be torturous.

Qingshui Yasuko sighed and informed him of Aoyama Xiu Xin’s directive, "Aoyama Xiu Xin says that from now on, the Beihai Family is no longer permitted to traffic drugs."

"What? No drug trafficking? If we stop trafficking drugs, what will I eat? What will everyone else eat?" Qingshui Yi exploded upon hearing this. Although the Beihai Family had other businesses, drug trafficking was the main revenue source. The sudden decrease in income would make it hard to maintain loyalty among his subordinates.

Qingshui Yasuko was just as helpless, brushing her messy hair by her ear, "His stance seemed very firm. I don’t think there’s room for discussion. You’ll have to think of another way. It’s just a matter of earning less."

She couldn’t quite understand it. Wasn’t Aoyama Xiu Xin himself a bad person? Was money earned from drug trafficking dirty?

"Earn less?" Qingshui Yi wore a bitter smile. To the gang members accustomed to the huge profits from drug trafficking, earning less equated to a loss.

And he, as their leader, was causing them to lose money.

If he was not performing well, naturally, no one would follow him.

Qingshui Yasuko realized this and suddenly had an idea, "If we can get the other violent gangs in Hokkaido to also stop trafficking drugs, then our members will have no choice but to accept it."

If only the Beihai Family stopped drug trafficking, their members would naturally envy the other gangs that continued, as the others would be earning more.

Happiness, like pain, comes from comparison.

Moreover, if the Beihai Family stopped trafficking drugs and crippled themselves in this way, they would inevitably fall behind other gangs and be subsumed or dissolved.

Therefore, the best solution was to bring other gangs to the same level, thus stabilizing internal morale and avoiding others from outpacing their growth.

"Aoyama Xiu Xin forbidding us from trafficking drugs shows how much he detests it, but he can only control our Beihai Family, not the other violent gangs. After all, a portion of the drug trafficking profits goes to Fujimoto Takayoshi. It’s impossible to ban drugs across the board." Qingshui Yi shook his head, finding it unrealistic.

Drug trafficking was also a significant source of revenue for the police force.

Thus, in the past, the Hokkaido Police would not only refrain from cracking down on drug trafficking but would also protect the stability and safety of the four major violent gangs’ operations, only targeting rogue drug traffickers.

Qingshui Yasuko paced in place, frowning in thought. Her expression was varied, and through clenched teeth, she said, "If that’s the case, then we need to create a significant incident, forcing the police to abandon this source of income and proceed to ban drug trafficking across all of Hokkaido."

Although she was like a submissive dog with no dignity in front of Aoyama Xiu Xin, doing as told, in her youth she had been involved in violence and still had that toughness.

"Mom, if we do this and it’s exposed, we’ll make enemies with all the police and violent gangs in Hokkaido," Qingshui Yi exclaimed with alarm and quickly dissuaded his mother from her radical idea, suggesting, "We could talk to Fujimoto Takayoshi. After all, we pay him for our drug trafficking, and Aoyama Xiu Xin is harming his interest—"

"That’s just asking for death!" Qingshui Yasuko interrupted her son sharply, glaring at him, "You were promoted by Aoyama Xiu Xin, yet you turn to Fujimoto Takayoshi with complaints. How could Aoyama Xiu Xin tolerate you? To Fujimoto Takayoshi, if we stop trafficking drugs, others will simply take our place; it won’t affect his profits at all. How could he possibly upset Aoyama Xiu Xin over us?"

Fujimoto Takayoshi’s tolerance of Aoyama Xiu Xin’s interference in the Beihai Family’s internal affairs meant he would not conflict with Aoyama Xiu Xin over such a matter; otherwise, his tolerance would have been pointless.

Upon hearing this, Qingshui Yi’s face turned pale, realizing his mistake and bowing slightly in acknowledgment, "Yes! Mother’s teachings are correct, I thought too simply in my haste."

Having strong-willed parents had led him to be quite obedient from a young age.

"There’s only one way, as I said earlier. Smash the pot, and no one has food. Otherwise, if the pot remains and we can’t eat from it, while others can, then our people will naturally become restless. As time goes on, the Beihai Family will cease to exist. This is a matter of the gang’s survival; we must take this risk!" Qingshui Yasuko, in her high heels, paced like she was circling in place, her eyes filled with determination.

Forced by reality, the once drug dealer now had to act as an anti-drug pioneer, leading the charge in drug eradication efforts.

Qingshui Yi’s lips moved as he wanted to dispel his mother’s idea, but he couldn’t come up with a better solution, so he could only compromise helplessly, "Then, Mom, what do you plan to do?"

"I haven’t figured it out yet, let’s go to sleep, and I’ll talk about it when I have an idea," Qingshui Yasuko shook her head with a sigh.

Everything had to be foolproof; otherwise, once exposed, they would undoubtedly lie dead in the wilderness.

Even Aoyama Xiu Xin could not protect them.

Qingshui Yi bowed deeply, "Good night, Mom."

"Yi, good night to you too."

.........

The next morning, during breakfast, Aoyama Xiu Xin received a call from Nozaki Cangjian.

"Senior Police Director, I accompanied Jing Shang last night to meet with the Shimada Group. I have recorded the conversation and taken photos. Both sides have agreed that from now on, the Miyazaki family will provide the Shimada Group with goods worth five million US dollars every month. The first transaction is set for two days from now. The exact time and place are yet to be decided by Jing Shang, and I will inform you if there are any developments," Nozaki Cangjian reported calmly and unhurriedly, indicating that he was in a completely safe environment.

"Good, remember that your safety comes first. There are many criminals, but there’s only one capable officer like you," Aoyama Xiu Xin said earnestly as he sipped his milk.

Nozaki Cangjian responded firmly, "Yes!"

"Sis, I’ve finished eating, I’m leaving now." After hanging up the phone, Aoyama Xiu Xin put down his cutlery, no longer in the mood to eat, and prepared to leave for work.

Aoyama Haruko hastily dropped her cutlery, picked up her briefcase, and escorted him out the door just as a wife would send off her husband, standing at the doorway with a tender smile on her face, waving, "I hope your work goes smoothly today too, Xiu Xin."

Aoyama Xiu Xin returned the smile and drove away.

Upon reaching Police Headquarters, he went straight to the office of his direct superior, Oda Take, and knocked on the door, "Minister Oda, it’s Aoyama Xiu Xin, may I come in?"

"Please come in," Oda Take used the word "please."

Aoyama Xiu Xin entered and spoke to Oda Take, who was sitting upright behind his desk, "Good morning, Minister Oda. I have just received some important information from an undercover agent in the Miyazaki family. The new head of the Miyazaki family and developer of a new type of meth, Jing Shang, will conduct a drug transaction worth five million US dollars with the Shimada Group in two days. The exact time and location of the deal are still unknown, and I wanted to report to you first."

"What!" Oda Take was thrilled, standing up immediately, "Excellent, excellent, Mr. Aoyama, you truly deserve the title ’Police Tiger’ of the Police Headquarters with such rapid progress. If this case is cracked, you’ll be the leading contributor!"

At the same time, Oda Take appreciated that Aoyama Xiu Xin, despite his connections, did not bypass him to report directly to Fujimoto Takayoshi. Instead, Aoyama followed protocol and reported to him first.

Momentarily, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of fondness for him.

But little did he know that Aoyama Xiu Xin did so only to make him lower his guard; the dark-hearted maggot had long coveted his position as Minister.

However, having recently been promoted, it was impossible to rise so swiftly again, so he wasn’t in a hurry to show his fangs.

So as not to make a wedding dress for someone else.

In time, Oda Take would meet with a bloody misfortune.

"I’m unworthy of such praise; if this case is successfully closed, it will be thanks to the Minister’s guidance and the proper execution by all colleagues," flattered Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Oda Take laughed heartily, enjoying the flattering from someone with both capability and backing. It was very credible.

It was as if he was indeed that remarkable.

"Mr. Aoyama, you’re too modest. Come, let’s go report this good news to the Director together."

Oda Take took Aoyama Xiu Xin to report the developments to Fujimoto Takayoshi, who was also invigorated upon hearing the news. The mastermind behind the shooting and the maker of the new meth would finally be brought to justice together.

"Mr. Aoyama, you must urge your undercover agent to ascertain the time and place of the transaction as soon as possible and report to you in time," instructed Fujimoto Takayoshi seriously after the excitement, "The closer we are to the final step, the more we cannot afford to relax our vigilance."

"Understood! Please rest assured, Director, I will inform you the moment I receive any news," replied Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"Alright, you may get back to work, Minister Oda, please stay a moment longer," Fujimoto Takayoshi nodded, dismissing them.

After returning to his own office, Aoyama Xiu Xin called Mikuriya Shouta and ordered, "Investigate the secretary to the Chairman of the Education Committee at the city hall."

It was the secretary’s wife’s pregnancy that Miyashita Naoyuki had caused, and since Aoyama Xiu Xin had promised to help resolve the situation, he intended to keep his word.

He had to understand the full picture in order to plan confidently.

"Yes!" Mikuriya Shouta affirmed, then took the initiative to ask, "Do you have any other orders?"

Aoyama Xiu Xin waved his hand to dismiss him.

Mikuriya Shouta bowed once more before turning to leave.

"Tsk, we have no grudges, but you just happen to be a foreigner, and I’m no good person either," Aoyama Xiu Xin stood up and lit a cigarette, muttering to himself as the office door closed.

Surrounded by swirling smoke, his expression shifted unpredictably.
