Tokyo: From Lawless Madpolice to Minister

Xiu Xin sat on the couch in the living room.

Behind him was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, with the radiant neon lights outside serving as his backdrop. Two women, wearing only short skirts and stockings, their clothes pulled down to their waists, knelt beside him, massaging his thighs.

Their pale, heavy fruits swayed gently with their movements, offering Xiu Xin a feast for the eyes, and occasionally he would reach out to weigh them.

After a dozen minutes, James and William, dressed only in briefs, came out dragging large bags. Their hairy legs and chests were exposed because their jackets, pants, and shirts were being used to hold money.

"Is it enough?" Xiu Xin asked with a smile.

The two nodded repeatedly, "It's enough, it's enough."

Of course, it wasn't enough, but they truly couldn't carry any more.

Xiu Xin looked at William with a half-smile and asked, "General, do you still feel insulted by me?"

William, with a thinner skin, felt a bit embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he said, "Please forgive my rudeness."

"Don't you think it's a serious matter for me to buy you off? If those above discover it, you would be court-martialed!" Xiu Xin said.

Hearing his own earlier words, William felt a bit ashamed, but the money was too tempting. He said in a deep voice, "As long as those above don't find out."

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!" Xiu Xin laughed heartily, kicking away the two women kneeling at his feet, standing up and placing both hands on William's shoulders, "General, look into my eyes."

William's eyes were a bit evasive as he raised his head.

"God asked me to tell you, this is all you deserve. You earned the right to this money by your own efforts in becoming a General, so don't feel guilty or believe you've betrayed your country," Xiu Xin said solemnly.

He finished speaking, patted his shoulder, turned to pick up two glasses of wine from the table, and handed one to William, "Here's to our enduring friendship, General."

"Cheers." William took the glass, clinked it with Xiu Xin's, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one go.

After watching him drink, Xiu Xin finally took a sip.

He handed the empty glass to the woman behind him, wiped his mouth and said, "I won't keep the General any longer. Surely the General is eager to return, but there will be plenty of opportunities to drink together in the future. Take care, both of you."

"Thank you, sir." James bowed and took his leave.

William hesitated for a moment, eventually let go of his restraint, and also bowed before turning to leave.

Watching the two drag their large bags away stumblingly, Xiu Xin smiled slightly and loudly said, "Everyone, come in and serve me."

One by one, the women came in, and he was soon surrounded by a chorus of laughter, making the night especially enchanting.

.........…

"Ring! Ring!"

The phone rang urgently, nonstop, in the morning.

Xiu Xin had just opened his eyes when a naked woman crawled towards him with his phone in hand, "Sir, the phone."

He looked around; the bed and the floor were strewn with clothes, bodies lying languidly. Last night's debauchery surfaced in his mind, and he shook his head to clear all the chaotic thoughts before looking at the phone in his hand.

The caller ID was not a number he recognized.

But anyone who knew his number surely wasn't ordinary, so he pressed to answer, "Moshi Moshi."

"Good morning, Commissioner Aoyama, I am Ozawa Hideomi from the Defense Hall. I hope I'm not disturbing you."

Xiu Xin paused, "I wonder what guidance Chief Ozawa has calling so early in the morning?"

"Not so much guidance, just hoping to invite Mr. Aoyama for breakfast and to discuss a few things in person," Ozawa Hideomi said politely.

"It's my honor," Xiu Xin agreed and asked, "And where might this be?"

Though he didn't know why the other party wanted to meet him.

He felt it necessary to meet and understand.

Ozawa Hideomi gave him the location of a restaurant.

"I'll head over right away." After hanging up, Xiu Xin got up, washed, changed into a luxury suit he kept ready in the wardrobe, and went to the meeting by car.

Arriving at the restaurant Ozawa Hideomi mentioned, he gave his name and was led by a waiter to a private room. He opened the door and saw Ozawa Hideomi eating inside.

"Mr. Aoyama, come in and sit down. The breakfast here is quite good. Not knowing your tastes, I ordered a few things for you." Ozawa Hideomi warmly welcomed him.

"Thank you, Chief Ozawa." Xiu Xin bowed slightly, went to sit opposite him, tasted the food in front of him, and praised, "Indeed, it's very delicious."

"Hahaha, isn't it? Everyone I bring here eventually falls in love with this restaurant," Ozawa Hideomi said proudly, laughing.

"Indeed, I think I will become a regular here too." Xiu Xin shrugged, then ate a few more bites, "Chief Ozawa mentioned on the phone you wanted to discuss something in person, may I know what it's about?"

"Haven't His Excellency the Prime Minister informed you?" Ozawa Hideomi said with a you-know-what-I-mean look, "I'm ordered to investigate allegations of smuggling involving the Sea Guard and the Maritime Security Bureau. As far as I know, Mr. Aoyama seems to have been profiting from it for a long time..."

"Where are these rumors coming from?" Xiu Xin interrupted, rather annoyed, "Chief Ozawa must investigate clearly! Surely someone is framing me; I have never done such a thing!"

"No need to get so worked up, Mr. Aoyama," Ozawa Hideomi smiled slightly, "I just wanted to let you know that regardless of whether you are truly involved, I'm not targeting you personally. I will only hold the Sea Guard and Maritime Security Bureau accountable. After all, we all serve the Prime Minister. I'm just giving you a heads-up to avoid any misunderstandings."

"I appreciate Chief Ozawa's goodwill, but with a clear conscience, I'm not afraid of shadows. Please proceed with your investigation as you see fit," Xiu Xin said righteously.

Ozawa Hideomi felt scornful at heart but didn't let it show on his face, "That's best. I also trust Mr. Aoyama would not engage in such activities; it's likely the Sea Guard and Maritime Security Bureau trying to deflect attention and dragging you in with smoke and mirrors."

"Chief Ozawa's insight is indeed sharp. I think so too." Xiu Xin nodded repeatedly, pretending to agree with Ozawa Hideomi's proposal.

With Yanchuan Shilang involved, he believed Ozawa Hideomi might indeed be speaking sincerely, only holding the Sea Guard and Maritime Security Bureau accountable, without investigating him.

He even thought Ozawa Hideomi might help him clear away the suspicions.

Unfortunately, he had no desire to clear away any suspicions. He wanted to stand together with the Sea Guard and Maritime Security Bureau. For now, agreeing to this scheme was merely a strategy to mislead Ozawa Hideomi.

This breakfast was enjoyed by both parties.

At least, on the surface, it seemed that way.
