CHAPTER 802: CHAPTER 661: GOOD DOCTOR AOYAMA XIU XIN, CALL ME DADDY

Yanchuan Shilang is far away, Xiu Xin Aoyama is close.

Therefore, after Heng Lu Guangnan’s death, mayors from across Hokkaido came to Xiu Xin Aoyama, hoping to gain Yanchuan Shilang’s forgiveness by pledging their allegiance to him through Aoyama.

For the sake of keeping their positions, each of them painful bled large sums of money as offerings to Aoyama Xiu Xin, among 35 mayors 27 paid visits to him one after another. To these individuals, Aoyama Xiu Xin displayed varied attitudes based on their firmness and depths.

He accumulated 2 billion US Dollars in ill-gotten gains.

This shows these officials truly have money!

And indeed are generous in spending.

After securing the money, he did act; on September 1st, Aoyama Xiu Xin specifically returned to Tokyo, and after landing, he took a Lexus sedan sent by the Police Headquarters directly to the Prime Minister’s residence.

Having called Yanchuan Shilang beforehand, Yanchuan Shilang’s secretary also notified the gatekeepers in advance.

Aoyama Xiu Xin’s car smoothly drove into the Prime Minister’s residence without any hindrance, with the guards saluting at the entrance, only lowering their hands once the car was far away.

Since becoming Prime Minister, Yanchuan Shilang has more than one secretary by his side; his old secretary was sent out, and his current Chief Secretary is Kudaka Kaon, a middle-aged man nearing forty.

He had been standing at the entrance to the main building of the residence early, and upon seeing Aoyama Xiu Xin’s car stop, he quickly walked up and bowed to open the car door, saying, "Superintendent General Aoyama, please get out. The Prime Minister is waiting for you in the office."

As the Prime Minister’s Chief Secretary, he doesn’t need to be this attentive to general members of Parliament, but who would blame him since Aoyama Xiu Xin is the god-grandson of Yanchuan Shilang?

Due to being close, knowing more, he is well aware of Aoyama Xiu Xin’s contributions and importance to the Yanchuan Family, and more consciously aware of Yanchuan Shilang’s focus on him.

"Thank you, Mr. Kudaka." Aoyama Xiu Xin slightly nodded after getting out of the car, carefully straightening the collar and hem of his suit, "Please lead the way forward."

"Yes!" Kudaka Kaon raised his hand, gesturing courteously, then led the way for him.

Aoyama Xiu Xin held his head high, walking with confidence behind him, striding forward with large strides, encountering many people on the way who would pause to bow to him.

Arriving at the office door, Kudaka Kaon raised his hand to knock, "Prime Minister, Superintendent General Aoyama has arrived."

"Quickly invite him in."

"Please." Kudaka Kaon turned and opened the door, waiting for Aoyama Xiu Xin to enter before closing it again.

Aoyama Xiu Xin’s face broke into a smile, he quickly walked forward and politely bowed, "Grandfather."

"No need for formalities, Xiu Xin, here there are no Prime Minister and Superintendent General, only grandfather and grandson." Yanchuan Shilang smiled warmly, stood, came over personally to help him up, walked to the sofa with him, "Sit down and have some tea."

There were already freshly brewed teas on the coffee table.

Still emitting visible heat.

"Yes!" Aoyama Xiu Xin also reached out to lightly support Yanchuan Shilang, walked to the sofa to sit down, asking with concern, "Grandfather, how has your health been recently?"

"As people age, they have all the ailments they ought to have, but now there’s a medical team specifically serving me, so no need to worry." Yanchuan Shilang sighed and shook his head replying, picking up a cup of tea, blowing at the foam, then took a sip, "Xiu Xin, try this tea as well."

"Yes!" Aoyama Xiu Xin answered, picking up a tea cup, not rushing to drink it, smelling it first with a euphoric expression, then sipped saying, "Such good tea, it revitalizes the spirit."

"If you like, take some with you later." Yanchuan Shilang put down the cup, asking with a smile, "By the way, what brings you back suddenly? Specially to visit me?"

"Primarily to visit you." Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded slightly, then added, "Secondly, I have some matters I want to report to you, after Heng Lu Guangnan’s death, the main officials of each Hokkaido city are in panic, even though Miyashita Hidekatsu is trying hard to calm them, it doesn’t have much effect, these people are desperately seeking remedy and have all come to me."

Saying this he helplessly let out a bitter smile.

"So, this means you’ve interacted with them during this time, what’s your view?" Yanchuan Shilang knew Aoyama Xiu Xin’s decision to specifically return to Tokyo to discuss this implied he had opinions to voice.

Aoyama Xiu Xin pondered for a moment, put down the teacup, sat more upright and slowly said, "I think among these people, those extremely close to Heng Lu Guangnan, who don’t actively lean towards us, and have mediocre capabilities should be replaced, while most others should be kept, recruit some, remove others, otherwise it could easily provoke them to group up again causing other disturbances."

"The critical point is most of them were merely coerced under Heng Lu Guangnan’s tyranny, unwillingly surrendering to his rule, they also displayed the correct attitude upon finding me, Grandpa you should exhibit your magnanimity, give them a chance to turn over a new leaf."

Speaking to this point, he paused, took out five or six bank cards from his pocket, placed them on the table, displaying a face full of helplessness, saying, "These are the money given to me by those people, totaling one billion US Dollars, all in foreign accounts, I also don’t know how to handle it, thought it through and decided to bring it for you to decide on the arrangements."

"They weren’t desperately seeking remedies, clearly found a skilled doctor." Yanchuan Shilang laughed heartily, accepting the bank cards, "Alright, it’s inappropriate to return this money, so I’ll take it to do some charity or something, also utilizing what came from the people back for the people."

Aoyama Xiu Xin rarely asks him for favors.

This time, since he did ask, he also has to grant him face, anyways, arranging a few trustworthy people is fine, as long as others demonstrate loyalty to the cabinet, that’s sufficient.

"Grandfather is wise." Aoyama Xiu Xin praised.

The reason to preserve most people, besides having accepted the money, primarily lies in Hokkaido not aligned entirely with Yanchuan Shilang not suiting his interests.

The people he protected, even if nominally belonging to the Yanchuan faction in the future, would certainly be closer to him within the Yanchuan Family and remember his kindness.

After all, he intends to make Hokkaido his stronghold and foundational base; if it’s all filled with Yanchuan Shilang’s people, how could he achieve his goals?

"By the way," Yanchuan Shilang suddenly recalled something, "Is Yokoji Guangnan’s secretary still at large?"

"Yes! Since the death of Yokoji Guangnan, Imamura Masafumi has disappeared." Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded in response.

Yanchuan Shilang said sternly, "Being Yokoji Guangnan’s confidant, and an accomplice in his misdeeds, this person must be captured and brought to justice."

"Yes! Rest assured, Grandfather, we have never relaxed in our pursuit of this individual; as long as he’s still in Hokkaido, he will definitely be caught." Aoyama Xiu Xin replied.

Yanchuan Shilang nodded and glanced at his watch, saying, "I have another meeting, so I won’t keep you."

"Yes! Xiu Xin takes his leave first and won’t disturb your official duties, Grandfather." Aoyama Xiu Xin stood up and bowed.

............

After leaving the Prime Minister’s residence, Aoyama Xiu Xin went to the Police Headquarters to find Asai Ayumi, who, though pregnant, was only two months into her pregnancy and not showing yet, so her work remained unaffected, and Asai Ayumi continued with her usual work schedule.

Arriving at Asai Ayumi’s office, he directly pushed the door open, and upon entering, he saw her intently working at her desk.

"Mr. Aoyama." Asai Ayumi looked up upon hearing the sound, and upon seeing Aoyama Xiu Xin, she beamed a radiant smile, dropped her paper and pen, rose to her feet, and went up to him, jumping into his arms to ask, "Have you seen Grandfather already?"

"Yes, I came to see you at the first opportunity after finishing business talks with him." Aoyama Xiu Xin embraced her waist with both hands, pecked her forehead, touched her belly, and said with a smile, "Quick, say ’Daddy’."

"It’s only been two months; it hasn’t developed enough to understand what you’re saying, let alone call you ’Daddy’." Asai Ayumi rolled her eyes playfully at him.

Aoyama Xiu Xin raised his eyebrows, "I’m asking you to say it."

Asai Ayumi was initially stunned, then her pretty face instantly turned red, caught between shame and anger. Previously, she felt no issue with it, but after getting pregnant, she couldn’t accept calling Aoyama Xiu Xin ’Daddy’ due to overwhelming embarrassment.

"Baka! I won’t ever say it again; if the child hears it in the future, how embarrassing would that be?"

"Really not going to say it?" Aoyama Xiu Xin looked at her with a barely concealed smile, lifting her skirt.

Asai Ayumi was wearing a black business suit, revealing flesh-colored pantyhose underneath when lifted, with green lace panties clearly visible, presenting a well-rounded figure.

"Not saying!" Asai Ayumi firmly replied, locking eyes with Aoyama Xiu Xin, completely headstrong.

Half an hour later...

"Daddy, yamete! Daddy, sob sob..."

"This is also for the child’s sake." Aoyama Xiu Xin whispered in her ear softly, "Making you call me ’Daddy’ beforehand helps me get used to the feeling of being a father, so when the child is born, I won’t be flustered and unaccustomed."

Asai Ayumi’s eyes were dreamy, her face flushed like rosy clouds staring at him as she leaned over to gently nibble him.

"Say goodbye to Daddy quickly." Aoyama Xiu Xin said after tidying up, patting her full belly.

Asai Ayumi weakly replied, "Goodbye, Daddy."

"This time, I really was talking to him." Aoyama Xiu Xin was momentarily stunned, pointing at her belly.

Asai Ayumi was instantly furious, kicking him, annoyed, and said, "Hurry up and get lost."

Aoyama Xiu Xin laughed heartily as he left.

He then went home to see his sister-in-law and Aoyama Tianze, snatched and finished off Aoyama Tianze’s lunch amid his protesting cries, drinking to satisfaction.

In the evening, the family of four had dinner at home.

The next morning, he flew back to Sapporo.

Upon hearing of his return, 27 mayors who had closely followed his journey and sent gifts came to visit.

Aoyama Xiu Xin received these individuals, stating that after his repeated persuasion and assurance, Yanchuan Shilang reluctantly agreed to let them keep their positions.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, uncontrollably grinning, continually thanking Aoyama Xiu Xin, expressing boundless gratitude, and promising not to refuse any future orders.

As for the eight mayors who didn’t send gifts, whether they were fiercely loyal to Yokoji Guangnan or impeccably incorruptible, in any case, not sending gifts angered Aoyama Xiu Xin, so they could expect to make way for others.

Though mayors are elected rather than appointed by the cabinet, it’s not difficult for the cabinet to unseat a mayor; not everyone is Yokoji Guangnan.
