Tokyo: From Lawless Madpolice to Minister

After learning from Annie that Jones would be the deputy commander of the Seventh Fleet, Aoyama Xiu Xin regretted his own rudeness very much. The Japanese are famously polite, how could a junior fight back when being reproached by a senior? That was really inappropriate!

But fortunately, he always knew how to correct his mistakes.

Since then, he often ran to Jones to curry favor.

A son-in-law is like half a son, even though he and Annie were only having an affair, given the face of the powerful U.S. Navy, he accepted this father-in-law.

After all, he already had his own forces in the stationed Japanese Army, so if he could win over the Seventh Fleet too, the chance of a successful coup in the future would be even greater.

He didn't need the U.S. military to help him with the coup, just needed them not to intervene when it happened.

Of course, it would be even better if they could help.

In early December, Jones officially took office, and Aoyama Xiu Xin went straight to Annie's house with generous gifts right after getting off work.

It was Jones, dressed in a military uniform, who opened the door. Seeing Aoyama Xiu Xin who had been visiting frequently, he asked curtly, "Why are you here again?"

"I've come to congratulate father on your new position." Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a smile, then shook the beautifully crafted gift bag in his hand, "This is a small token of my appreciation."

"I'm not your father." Jones said with a dark face, didn't take the gift, and turned around to go inside.

"Father!" Aoyama Xiu Xin raised his voice.

Jones was startled, angrily turned back to glare at Aoyama Xiu Xin, "What the hell are you doing?"

"May I ask father, why do you think I go to such lengths to please you?" Aoyama Xiu Xin earnestly asked.

Jones was taken aback, indeed, he hadn't thought about this question, and instinctively asked, "Why?"

"It's because I love Annie, out of guilt and respect for Annie and you!" Aoyama Xiu Xin said movingly, with a frank expression, "To be honest, although you are a general, you couldn't provide any help for my future, and with my ability and status, I don't need your help, so my flattering you is completely without any utilitarian purpose, purely out of love for Annie and sincerity."

"Because I love her, but can't give her a healthy marriage, I feel guilty and can only try to make her happy, so I don't want her to be embarrassed because of any tension between us, so that's why I've gone to the extent of sacrificing my dignity to please you. If you're worried that my flattery has ulterior motives and have treated me this way, it really is unnecessary."

These words were so sincerely spoken that Jones stood still in place. Indeed, here in Japan, Aoyama Xiu Xin already had a powerful background and a bright future, the identity of a U.S. Army Major General didn't help him in any way. He really didn't need my help.

So, these attentions were purely out of love for his daughter, even though I spoke harshly, he never changed his attitude, he could have ignored me. Was I really too much?

"Father, you've gone too far." Hearing these words, Annie came over from the living room. She knew how arrogant and domineering Aoyama Xiu Xin was, so she knew how hard it was for him to be humble to please someone, truly believing that Aoyama Xiu Xin's recent attentions to her father were all for her, thus moving her greatly. She stepped forward and took his arm, "I chose to have the child willingly; you shouldn't blame him."

Neither father nor daughter realized that this seemingly upright fellow before them was planning a coup, nor that what he wanted was the identity of the U.S. Army Major General.

"Alright, I apologize." Jones stiffly shrugged his shoulders, and to save face, added with feigned fierceness, "But if you dare bully Annie, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

"Please don't worry, Father, I can't pamper Annie enough." Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a broad smile.

Seeing his simple-minded appearance, Jones felt a little sympathetic towards him, this poor guy probably didn't know Annie was approaching him with a political mission, and even having his child was just part of that mission.

"Alright, come in."

After entering the house, Aoyama Xiu Xin put down the gifts, "Father, since you just assumed your new post, let's go out for a drink together, we haven't drunk together yet."

"Okay, but I hope your drinking capacity isn't too bad." Jones agreed without hesitation.

Then leaving Annie at home to take care of the child, Aoyama Xiu Xin took his father-in-law and soon the car stopped in front of a small, exquisite villa with a garden.

"Is this a private bar?" After getting out of the car, Jones looked around the small villa and asked.

Aoyama Xiu Xin didn't explain, just said meaningfully, "Father, come inside with me and you'll see."

"Being mysterious." Jones murmured, following Aoyama Xiu Xin into the garden, unable to help but look around, finding the place tastefully decorated.

He guessed that the house must be expensive.

And when he followed Aoyama Xiu Xin inside to the living room, he was shocked again, a high stack of U.S. dollars was placed on the coffee table in the center of the living room, piled in a pyramid shape, giving a strong visual impact.

"What... what does this mean?" Jones struggled to avert his gaze from the cash.

With a smile, Aoyama Xiu Xin said, "It's inconvenient for Father to live with Annie, so this villa is for you to stay, there's also a latest model Mercedes in the garage for your mobility, and this money is for networking with your colleagues. If it's not enough, just let me know, it can be delivered anytime."

Jones's mind was already in a daze, but it wasn't over yet, Aoyama Xiu Xin clapped his hands.

Two beautiful and well-figured white women descended from upstairs together, their heavy bosoms swaying with each step. Once they stood still, they smiled brightly and waved to Jones in greeting.

"Father, being in a foreign country without anyone around for assistance is inconvenient, so I arranged two people to help you with things like laundry and cooking, and they can give you a massage if needed."

Aoyama Xiu Xin indicated the two women and said lightly.

Jones breathed heavily, his face flushed, though not a drop had he drunk, he was already intoxicated. After looking at Aoyama Xiu Xin for a long time, he felt that Aoyama Xiu Xin shouldn't call him father, he didn't deserve it.

Obviously, he should call the other man father!

Even his real father had never been so good to him.

With such a son-in-law, what more could he ask for...

Even though he was tempted, his identity as an elder forced him to be a little reserved, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Don't worry, Father, Annie won't know." Aoyama Xiu Xin showed a knowingly manly expression.

Jones still couldn't put down his pride, "This..."

"What are you waiting for? He's your real boss now." Aoyama Xiu Xin said to the two women.

The two women moved forward with fragrant air, each taking one of Jones's arms, cooing, "Why don't you come upstairs with us, BOSS, to test our massage skills?"

Feeling the exaggerated elasticity on his arms, still in a daze, Jones followed the two women upstairs.

Halfway there, he realized, looked back at Aoyama Xiu Xin wanting to say something, but with a tug from the women, he couldn't help but continue up.

"Father, enjoy your time."

Aoyama Xiu Xin chuckled, turned, and left; there was no woman he couldn't have, no man he couldn't win over, because his sincerity was always so abundant.

His daughter had given him a child, and now he's living in his house, driving his car, spending his money, and even enjoying the women he provided, how could he not consider him in future?

While Jones was sweating in the villa, he didn't know that Aoyama Xiu Xin was vigorously working on his daughter.

The chaotic year of 1995 had passed, but there was no time to reminisce, as the upcoming year of 1996 would be even more tumultuous.
