CHAPTER 768: CHAPTER 627: GREED KILLS, FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS

Yoshikai Youzai was waiting at the Police Headquarters entrance.

Seeing Aoyama Xiu Xin’s car stop and stabilize, he quickly jogged up to help open the car door. "Minister."

"What did Miyazaki Junichi and Miyagi Youcai discuss?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked after getting out of the car.

Yoshikai Youzai closed the door and followed him inside the Police Headquarters. "I brought the wiretap recordings with me."

Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded and said no more.

The two entered the office, and after closing the door, Yoshikai Youzai took out the device to play the eavesdropped audio.

"Mr. Miyazaki, I apologize for the sudden visit," Miyagi Youcai’s voice came through first.

Miyazaki Junichi was puzzled, "You are..."

"I am Deputy Director Miyagi Youcai from the Criminal Department of the Police Headquarters," Miyagi Youcai said calmly.

"Oh, it’s Deputy Director Miyagi. Please come in, sit anywhere." Miyazaki Junichi suddenly understood and invited him in, then asked, "Are you here for the case of Tengji Yu? Actually, I’ve already said everything I can about that case."

"Saying it’s for that case is not incorrect," Miyagi Youcai smiled mysteriously, then after a pause, said, "But I’m here on behalf of Prime Minister Yutian, hoping Mr. Miyazaki can reveal the truth."

"What do you mean? What do you mean by hoping I can reveal the truth? Does that imply that what I said isn’t true?" Miyazaki Junichi immediately became anxious, raising his voice several decibels, and said forcefully, "Does Hatanaka Zizi really want me to reveal the truth? Or does he want me to speak the truth he desires? Mr. Oda had a great appreciation for me, and I would never exploit his death for your schemes!"

"Don’t get excited, Mr. Miyazaki," Miyagi Youcai consoled, then said seriously, "I believe your statement about Mr. Oda’s appreciation. However, as for whether you deserve this appreciation, I have my doubts. Please, excuse my straightforwardness. The death of Mr. Oda is surrounded by suspicions. It’s just the two of us here; you know my intent as I know your background. Why not speak frankly?"

"You fool!" With a slap on the table, Miyazaki Junichi stood up angrily and cursed, breathing heavily, "You’re not welcome here. Please leave immediately. Mr. Oda was my benefactor, not a tool for your power struggles!"

"Mr. Miyazaki, no matter what conditions Yanchuan Shilang promised you, our Prime Minister Yutian is willing to offer double," Miyagi Youcai raised his voice as well.

The previously furious Miyazaki Junichi suddenly fell silent. After a long pause, he said, "Please leave."

"Haha, Mr. Miyazaki, if you’re resolute about selling out, why not hike up the price?" Miyagi Youcai chuckled, a confidence in his voice, "You needn’t fear Yanchuan Family’s retaliation. As long as you’re willing to stand up and tell the truth, Prime Minister Yutian will surely protect you!"

"How many people does Yanchuan Shilang have under him? With so many people to arrange after his victory, how many good positions could you possibly get? Yes, currently, the Liberal Democratic Party holds the advantage, but at this moment, your defection is crucial for the New Party! Mr. Miyazaki, you should understand the difference between to lend a helping hand in times of need and to embellish what’s already prosperous, right? As long as you adjust your testimony, you will certainly have a place in the Parliament!"

Miyazaki Junichi fell into silence once again, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy. Clearly, he was tempted.

Miyagi Youcai pressed the advantage, "Mr. Miyazaki, what are you hesitating for? This prime ministerial contest is a rare opportunity for us minor characters! Do you want to ascend rapidly, or be casually given a position to silence you? Is there really a debate? If it’s the latter, then I’ve misjudged you, Mr. Miyazaki; you lack the ambition to succeed!"

"Can Prime Minister Yutian truly protect me? Aren’t they even daring to kill Mr. Oda?" Miyazaki Junichi spoke slowly, his voice trembling slightly.

"Of course!" Miyagi Youcai’s excitement couldn’t be concealed, and he spoke decisively, "You are now one of the key factors to Prime Minister Yutian’s comeback. He will undoubtedly do his utmost to protect you. You absolutely needn’t worry about that."

"Send my family abroad first, and then I’ll publicly change my testimony. Don’t contact me again before that," Miyazaki Junichi exhaled a long breath.

"Alright! I’ll arrange it as soon as possible," Miyagi Youcai breathed heavily, "You can rest assured, Mr. Miyazaki."

"Chief of Police, Miyagi, please,"

"Mr. Miyazaki, there’s no need to see me out,"

As the door closed, the recording ended.

"Minister, Miyazaki Junichi is about to betray us. We need to take action," Yoshikai Youzai looked at Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Aoyama Xiu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, didn’t respond immediately, but after a while, let out a light laugh, "People just never know contentment. We found Miyazaki Junichi and offered him great benefits, and then he listened to us, ignoring his benefactor’s death to frame Tengji Yu, which is disloyal; Miyagi Youcai found Miyazaki Junichi and gave a higher price, and now he wants to betray us, that is unjust."

"Why should such disloyal and unjust people live?"

Originally, Yanchuan Shilang truly wasn’t planning to kill Miyazaki Junichi to silence him because he was an accomplice in covering up the truth, considered part of his own group, and was trustworthy—plus, he was young and had cultivation potential.

But he insisted on walking the path of destruction.

"Minister, I’ll arrange it and ensure he disappears tonight!" Yoshikai Youzai said viciously.

Aoyama Xiu Xin waved his hand, "We police officers are the guardians of justice, how can we commit murder and arson, violating the law? That’s Black Society’s business. It’s late, go rest, you don’t need to worry about it."

"Understood!" Yoshikai Youzai bowed and left.

Aoyama Xiu Xin began making phone calls, the first call was to Saihara Ichiro, now Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Asahi News, "Mr. Sangjing, this is Aoyama Xiu Xin. Miyazaki Junichi will soon go missing, and I hope to see some media reports on this matter, leading the public to suspect that it’s a New Party retaliation because Miyazaki Junichi identified Tengji Yu as the murderer of Oda Hidehiko and thus has disappeared."

"Hi! Do you know when Mr. Aoyama wants this news to be published?" Saihara Ichiro asked gently.

He was promoted to deputy editor with the support of the Xiongcheng Association, and as Aoyama Xiu Xin, the association’s president, had given instructions, he was naturally doing his best to get things done.

Aoyama Xiu Xin uttered two words, "Tomorrow."

He would take action tonight, and once Hatanaka Zizi’s people couldn’t reach Miyazaki Junichi tomorrow, they would suspect he was murdered and take precautions in advance, so the report wouldn’t catch them off guard.

"Tomorrow?" Saihara Ichiro was taken aback and, after a moment of silence, said, "There is still some time now. I will try to get a few more media outlets to report on this."

"Please do!" Aoyama Xiu Xin thanked earnestly and then hung up the phone to call Zhao Qinghong, the leader of the Fulong Gang, "This is Aoyama Xiu Xin."

"Hi! Commander... Minister! Please feel free to instruct!" Zhao Qinghong, who hadn’t received a call from Aoyama Xiu Xin in a long time, was so excited that he misspoke.

Aoyama Xiu Xin said indifferently, "I will have someone send you some information. Kill the person on the data tonight and make him disappear forever. Tell him for me: Greed comes at a price."

One’s greed is not wrong; it is a driving force for advancing. But if he only has greed and not the corresponding strength, then he is courting death.

"Yes! Minister, rest assured that he won’t see the sunrise tomorrow." Zhao Qinghong replied.

Aoyama Xiu Xin hung up and walked out. It was indeed late, and he needed to go home and rest too.

.........

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! Great!"

Hatanaka Zizi laughed heartily, patting Miyagi Youcai’s shoulder and showering him with praise, "I knew Mr. Miyagi was promising. This task was originally given to Renping, but he couldn’t manage it before he died. It indeed requires giving young people more opportunities!"

Lately, all he heard was bad news. Now there was finally some good news, sweeping away the gloom, reigniting his fighting spirit.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I appreciate your praise. I am aware of my average abilities and only dare to give my all to live up to your expectations." Miyagi Youcai replied respectfully and reminded him, "About Miyazaki Junichi’s family, you must get them out of the country quickly."

"I understand. At dawn tomorrow, I will have someone handle it immediately," Hatanaka Zizi nodded.

Meanwhile, someone else was also filled with joy. Yoshifu Yamanaka, who underwent emergency rescue this morning and was moved to intensive care, finally opened his eyes.

"Yufu! Yufu, you’re finally awake!"

Yanakaha Shigeru wept with joy, tears streaming down his face.

Yoshifu Yamanaka’s gaze was initially confused, then gradually gained clarity, and with difficulty, he stammered, "Fa... father, what’s... what’s wrong with me? How did I end up... in the hospital?"

"You were in a car accident. Do you remember how it happened?" Yanakaha Shigeru immediately asked.

He suspected that someone might have intentionally caused the accident.

Yoshifu Yamanaka recalled, "I had just gotten into the car when I fainted and didn’t know anything afterwards."

Yanakaha Shigeru understood. His son was knocked out by Hatanaka Ichiro, causing him to faint after getting into the car, leading to the accident. There was no conspiracy involved.

"That bastard, Hatanaka Ichiro!" Yanakaha Shigeru gritted his teeth, saying, "Yufu, just focus on recovering. I’ll make sure justice is served on your behalf."

"Sorry for making you worry, father." Yoshifu Yamanaka apologized, but his heart was still concerned about Bai He Tianye, "How is Bai He... Bai He doing?"

He knew that after his accident, his father would undoubtedly investigate the cause as quickly as possible.

He would also know about Bai He Tianye.

Although his son was wounded and still cared about that woman, and although the Yanakaha family would not accept such a commonplace daughter-in-law, Yanakaha Shigeru showed no signs of it now. "She’s fine and very worried about you."

"That’s good, that’s good."

At that moment, accompanied by quick footsteps, a doctor with a nurse entered, "Minister Yanakawa, it’s not advisable for him to talk too much now that he’s just awakened."

"Alright, alright. Yufu, you rest well, and I’ll come to see you again tomorrow," Yanakaha Shigeru said.

Yoshifu Yamanaka nodded weakly.

As Yanakaha Shigeru walked out of the ward, the softness on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by sternness.

From his current investigation results, there was no third party involved in this matter—only Hatanaka Ichiro, the culprit, who must pay for this!
