Tokyo: From Lawless Madpolice to Minister

The spacious and bright reception room, Aoyama Xiu Xin in a suit and leather shoes, sat with one leg crossed over the other, holding a cigarette, with a faint smile on his face, fully displaying his calm confidence.

In contrast, the Major General opposite him had lost his usual confidence and arrogance, his face full of worry.

"Director Aoyama, to be honest, Smith is my adopted son. I heard you just became a father, so I hope you can understand a father's feelings." Lawrence was quite displeased with Aoyama Xiu Xin's attitude; when did the Japanese dare to put on airs with him? But needing his help, he had to endure it, "If he's convicted, not only will he be imprisoned, but his military career will be over, whereas you will merely endure some public criticism. Can the clamor of those lowly people really affect someone like you?"

After saying that, as if he felt his words were too soft, he added to save face, "Do you really want to lose a General's friendship over a lowly woman? That would be too unwise."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Aoyama Xiu Xin shook his head with a half-smile and said: "You Americans really can't change your arrogance, can you? Even when asking for a favor, you can't adopt the right posture. Do you know what this implies? It implies that you look down on me, thinking I'm no different from those Japanese you despise and the women victims you ridicule as lowly."

"With such an attitude, you want me to sacrifice my own reputation to protect your worthless adopted son? Do you think that's possible? A General's friendship? I know quite a few Generals; where do you rank among them? What value can you bring me? I'm sorry, but I don't see any."

"Fuck!" Lawrence, already used to being arrogant in Japan and thinking he had already humbled himself enough, exploded upon hearing this, slamming the table and pointing at Aoyama Xiu Xin, spitting in anger, "Aoyama Xiu Xin, don't think I don't know you're just a dog raised by us Americans. How dare you insult a dignified Army Major General like me? Have you lost your mind? In terms of status, I'm practically your master! Ignorant and arrogant fool, if it weren't for the higher-ups warning me, would I be this polite to you?"

"Splash!" Aoyama Xiu Xin directly picked up the water cup in front of him and splashed it on Lawrence's face, smiling and spreading his hands, saying: "You're right, without the powerful backing of your American government, I really wouldn't dare to be so disrespectful to a US Army Major General. I have your powerful country backing me, do you? To this, I can only say I thank America, and I love America."

"You damn bastard! Today I'm going to teach you a lesson." Lawrence, hearing these words, completely lost his composure, and directly swung his fist at Aoyama Xiu Xin.

As a soldier, he relied on his fists.

Aoyama Xiu Xin easily sidestepped and punched back, landing a blow on Lawrence's face, knocking out a tooth and sending him heavily to the ground, struggling for quite a while unable to get up.

His head buzzed.

"Useless! Is this all a US Army Major General can do?" Aoyama Xiu Xin mocked ruthlessly, shaking his hand, and squatted down to grab his golden hair, saying: "Your superior should have already contacted you, telling you to hand over the person. If you don't, I might really doubt if you love America as much as I do. That America supports me and not you is only reasonable."

"I want to see that bastard named Smith and his accomplice by tomorrow, or wait for greetings from your superiors. A mere adopted son, you've come to disgrace yourself by taking this punch, that's already enough."

"Don't look at me with those eyes, unless war breaks out again between the US and Japan, you'll never have a chance to retaliate against me. On the contrary, as my status rises, I might even have the opportunity to retaliate against you for the look you're giving me today."

With these words, Aoyama Xiu Xin let him go, turned around, wiped his hands on the skirt of the female server holding the ashtray, and said: "Escort my guest downstairs, please."

"Yes!" Two female servers immediately entered, bowing their heads to try supporting Lawrence off the floor.

"Scram!" Lawrence had recovered somewhat, struggled to get up, glared viciously at Aoyama Xiu Xin, covered his face, and slowly walked out.

Aoyama Xiu Xin watched his back, picked up a wine glass from the table, and had the server pour a drink. He knocked it back in one shot. The old man probably needs to be transferred out of Japan in the next few years to avoid causing trouble on the day of the coup.

"Everyone come in and let me go inside."

Aoyama Xiu Xin laughed and shouted.

"Yes!"

The servers giggled and came in.

After getting in the car, Lawrence called his superior, shouting angrily: "Do you know what I just went through? That bastard Aoyama Xiu Xin punched me to the ground, and I couldn't even get up."

"Oh my, Lawrence, are you now so old and weak?" His superior was surprised by this.

"..." Lawrence was speechless, a little frustrated and angry, shouted: "That's not the point! The point is that bastard said he has America backing him, mocking that I don't! I don't understand why this is? I've served the country for many years, even fought on the battlefield, yet now in those big shots' eyes, I'm not as valued as a Japanese?"

"Lawrence, you have to understand that individuals sometimes have to make sacrifices for the bigger picture. There have always been such people; it is just your turn now, which makes it hard for you to accept. It may sound harsh, but in terms of national value, both you and I are not as valuable as an Aoyama Xiu Xin." The superior calmly responded.

Lawrence laughed in extreme anger, "That's a bullshit statement! To hell with the bigger picture!"

His country cannot support him but supports foreigners. What kind of country is he serving as a soldier?

Even though it was his adopted son who broke the law first.

But he didn't care.

"Yes, I agree with your statement, but what can be done? Hand over the people, let those two turn themselves in, at least it's a better look on the surface."

.........

Early the next morning, news about the US military rape case in Japan was everywhere, unsurprisingly causing public outrage, with a large number of people taking to the streets in protest, demanding that the police immediately arrest the two, while others surrounded the US military base demanding the culprits be handed over.

As the Police Director General responsible for this case, Aoyama Xiu Xin had just left his private suite, dragging his exhausted legs. Last night he had played the part of Ye Wen.

Those female servers deserved their wages.

High quality service.

He even gave them an extra bonus of several billion yen.

Upon arriving at the Police Headquarters entrance, unsurprisingly, he was intercepted by the public. There were too many people; he didn't dare to get out of the car, so he could only poke his upper body out of the sunroof and shout loudly: "Fellow citizens, please calm down and listen to me for a moment. Last night, I had a patient and cordial conversation with the US Army Commander in Japan, Major General Lawrence. He expressed his shame and apology over such an incident and promised to hand over the two culprits to face legal trial."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Is this true? The Americans are actually so readily willing to plead guilty and hand over the culprits this time?"

"Director Aoyama, you must have worked very hard to make him hand over the two bastards!"

"That's great! Thank goodness for Director Aoyama."

All cheered, extremely excited as if they had achieved some grand victory.

And Aoyama Xiu Xin naturally became the battle hero who led them to this victory.

Aoyama Xiu Xin's prestige continued to rise.
