Chapter 399: Chapter 355: Only with Common Interests Can We Become Friends

In the evening, after work, Aoyama Xiu Xin headed to the private club that Yehua Yiren had arranged for a meeting with the Land Guard officers. As the host, he naturally arrived early.

Yehua Yiren was waiting for him at the door of the club. When she saw his car stop, she leaned over to open the door, and after Aoyama Xiu Xin got out, she naturally took his arm.

The two walked together toward the club’s main entrance.

"I heard that you encountered a shooting this morning, and it scared me to death," Yehua Yiren said softly.

Aoyama Xiu Xin pulled his hand from her embrace and wrapped it instead around her waist, sliding it down over her perky buttocks to feel the amazingly elasticity and softness, casually saying, "It was just some little night crawlers, too green to take my life."

He was indeed a man blessed by Heaven.

"Yes, the blessed indeed have Heaven’s protection," Yehua Yiren smiled with pursed lips, ever more charming.

Then she added, "I’ve reserved the entire club for you to entertain your guests tonight."

"Mm," Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded.

Yehua Yiren led him into the clubhouse, twisting and turning until they arrived at a large private room. The owner’s seat was at the top, with a series of single-seater tables arranged on both sides for the guests. A large open space in the middle was for the waiting staff to serve dishes and for performances.

"It’s about time, tell the kitchen to start serving the dishes," Aoyama Xiu Xin said, glancing at his watch.

Yehua Yiren nodded and turned around to arrange things.

About ten minutes later, Ito Sei arrived with a group of people, none in military uniform but all in business attire, the youngest of them seemingly over 35.

"Welcome, General Ito, welcome all the brave warriors of the Empire!" Aoyama Xiu Xin stood up and bowed in greeting.

The men behind Ito Sei all bowed back.

Ito Sei himself was much warmer, laughing heartily as he stepped forward and gave Aoyama Xiu Xin a hug, saying, "Police Chief Aoyama, the news of your shooting shook me, but thankfully you were protected by Amaterasu and emerged unscathed. Otherwise, I would have been ready to bombard the assailant with artillery because he not only tried to kill my dear friend but also caused me heavy losses!"

His words were sincere since the profitable project negotiated with Aoyama Xiu Xin had yet to come to fruition, and the potential loss of his wealth maker would have been infuriating.

"Thank you for your concern, General Ito," Aoyama Xiu Xin said, extracting himself from the embrace, smiling. "I haven’t yet fulfilled my promises; how could I leave this world? Everyone, please feel free to sit and relax."

"Sit down," Ito Sei gestured with a wave of his hand.

The other standing officers then took their seats.

Aoyama Xiu Xin also took his seat and lifting his cup, said, "Today, I am very pleased to gather with all the brave warriors of the Empire. Before discussing official matters, let’s talk about lighter topics. I wouldn’t want us to negotiate on an empty stomach, right?"

Dressed in a black dress and voluptuous, Yehua Yiren knelt obediently beside him to serve the meal.

"The guest follows the host’s lead; everything is up to Police Chief Aoyama," Ito Sei raised his glass in a salute.

Aoyama Xiu Xin looked around, "Gentlemen, please drink up to celebrate our gathering tonight, and I hope that every year, we can all come together like this again."

"Cheers!"

Everyone lifted their glasses and drank up in unison.

Indeed, soldiers are soldiers; even their movements possessed a sense of efficiency and uniformity.

"Now, since we’re only discussing light matters, if it were just us men, it would be too dull, so let’s have some beauties to liven things up," Aoyama Xiu Xin put his cup down and as his words fell, he clapped his hands.

"Clap, clap!"

Then the Changzi Gate was pushed open, and one after another, young women with styled hair and light makeup, wearing kimonos made of transparent thin fabric, entered the room on tiptoe in an orderly manner, clearly trained in dance. The thin kimonos fluttered like butterflies.

Through the sheer fabric, their naked bodies were clearly visible, save for the thin black stockings wrapped around their shapely legs, their hazy allure heightened.

As these women entered, the Changzi Gate behind Aoyama Xiu Xin was pushed open, revealing a group of women holding musical instruments, starting to play a piece, and those clad in thin fabric began to dance along, a pleasing sight to behold.

The rough men, who had long been in the military, were spellbound, with quite a noticeable reaction.

This was the highest form of appreciation for the dancers.

"Clang, clang, clang,"

Aoyama Xiu Xin picked up two chopsticks and lightly tapped the edge of a porcelain bowl rhythmically; the others caught on and joined in with their chopsticks.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang,"

Amidst the harmonious atmosphere, the song and dance came to an end, and the dancers, glistening with sweat, gracefully took their places next to the guests.

"Gentlemen, I hope you enjoy your evening and return content, and I must insist that you do not hold back or feel restrained. After all, I’ve paid good money, and if you hold back, you’re just wasting my money," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a hearty laugh.

Taking the lead, Ito Sei wrapped the woman next to him into his arms, his hands moving over her body while raising a glass in salute to Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Since Police Chief Aoyama has spoken, then we must make sure his money is well spent tonight, as wasting is indeed a shame."

"Hi!" The other officers hurriedly drew the women next to them into their arms, the sounds of playful jests and giggles echoing throughout the room.

Under the influence of women and alcohol, everyone’s true nature came to light, with any initial awkwardness dissipating. They drank and exchanged toasts, calling each other brothers.

After the drinks had flowed and the dishes had been tasted, Aoyama Xiu Xin asked Yehua Yiren to take the women, some disheveled or flushed with embarrassment, away.

The officers’ eyes followed these women as they left, their gazes only reluctantly returning to the conversation once the door of the private room closed again.

Aoyama Xiu Xin couldn’t help but laugh, "Gentlemen, there is no need for such longing looks. Rest assured, those women are waiting in the next room. Once our official business is concluded, those not in a hurry to go home are welcome to stay overnight and engage in deep conversation with them. They have a rich repertoire of skills."

He had a penchant for licentiousness.

After all, someone who isn’t lecherous is truly fearsome.

"These inexperienced lads have made a bit of a spectacle, Mr. Aoyama," Ito Sei said, slightly embarrassed, shaking his head and throwing a reproachful glare at his subordinates, which was a poor reflection on their Land Guard.

The officers also bowed their heads in shame.

Aoyama Xiu Xin waved his hand dismissively and said, "Can a man who doesn’t like women even be called a man? Everyone lusts, so do I! But the prerequisite for lust is to have money and power, and we’re sitting here today to make money."

At those words, everyone sobered up and paid full attention, knowing that it was time to discuss serious business.

"I’ve successfully acquired that construction corporation I mentioned before," he continued, "I now control nearly all of the shares and can offer sixty percent for you gentlemen to share the profits. You may distribute it internally according to your own financial conditions, but it’s best to hang it under someone else’s name, held by friends or relatives, otherwise, if anyone investigates, it would be easy to get caught up in rumors."

"I’ve got reliable information that our government is going to boost the economy and stabilize employment by promoting infrastructure construction nationwide, refurbishing various public welfare facilities. So, investing in my company is a sure win. Please buy shares not for anything else but because General Ito and I are friends, and it’s always been my principle that friends should make money together."

Once Aoyama Xiu Xin finished speaking, he lifted his glass to signal everyone, and then drained his drink.

"Why isn’t everyone thanking Mr. Aoyama for giving us such a good opportunity to make money?" Ito Sei turned and gestured with his glass to his followers.

Everyone raised their glasses in unison, and shouted to Aoyama Xiu Xin with bowed heads, "Thank Police Chief Aoyama for his care."

During this time, they hadn’t just been waiting idly but had conducted a series of investigations, so they completely trusted Aoyama Xiu Xin’s words; otherwise, they wouldn’t have come out tonight.

"I should be the one thanking your trust," replied Aoyama Xiu Xin after a toast. Setting down his glass, he said, "The contracts are ready, and the legal team is waiting next door to handle the rest with everyone. I have other matters to attend to, so please excuse me."

In reality, he had no pressing matters but wanted to leave room for others to chat privately.

Ito Sei understood this well, so he didn’t take Aoyama Xiu Xin’s early departure as disrespect and stood up to see him off, "Mr. Aoyama, please take care."

"Before I leave, a final toast to our enjoyable cooperation!" Aoyama Xiu Xin raised his glass and stood.

"To an enjoyable cooperation!"

Everyone raised their glasses in response.

Aoyama Xiu Xin downed his drink, wiped his mouth, bowed, and strode away.

Yehua Yiren was waiting for him outside, and upon seeing him come out, she stepped forward and lit a cigarette for him.

With a puff of smoke, Aoyama Xiu Xin said, wrapping his arm around her, "I’ll leave the rest to you."

"Sure!" Yehua Yiren nodded.

Aoyama Xiu Xin released her and continued on his way.

Half an hour later, under Yehua Yiren’s leadership, all the Land Guard officers bought shares in East Field Construction Corporation according to their abilities.

From that moment on, Aoyama Xiu Xin and the Land Guard shared mutual interests and would protect those interests together.

...

The evening news reported the discovery of five female bodies by the police that morning, as well as the assassination attempt on Aoyama Xiu Xin.

While the nation was shocked, Aoyama Xiu Xin’s composed inspection of the crime scene after the shooting gained him praise and admiration.

"Idiot! Why do some people with ill intentions try to hurt Police Chief Aoyama? Such people are the enemies of the people! The perpetrators must be severely punished!"

"As expected of Police Chief Aoyama, who is known as the Police Tiger - remaining tranquil and infinitely calm even in such situations."

"The more criminals Police Chief Aoyama catches, the more people want him gone. People have only seen his glory until now, but today they also see the danger he faces."

While the news was being broadcast, Aoyama Xiu Xin had already returned home to receive his sister-in-law’s care.

"Why didn’t you tell me about such a big incident? I had to watch the news to find out you were in danger," his sister-in-law said with a mix of worry and anger.

Aoyama Xiu Xin hugged her tightly and whispered soothingly, "It’s nothing serious. I didn’t want to worry you for no reason. Now, big sister, forgive me this time, and I’ll tell you everything first in the future."

"That’s more like it," Aoyama Haruko huffed lightly and then, with eyes full of pity and tenderness, stroked his head, "Do you want to eat something more?"

"I only want you," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied, pressuring her down onto the couch, and roughly opening her clothing, revealing two bulging consciences that popped out in his face.

"Ah!" Aoyama Haruko exclaimed, attempting to cover herself in a fluster but only ending up seeming more suggestive, "Xiu Xin, stop it, your birthday is just a few days away, I’ve promised you then."

Ding-a-ling~ The phone rang just in time.

Aoyama Xiu Xin let go of his sister-in-law to answer the call.

"Xiu Xin, you scoundrel, why didn’t you tell me about such a big deal? Or do I have to wait until I have to come back for your funeral to find out?" Aoyama Sosuke’s voice came from the other end, filled with anger.

Ever since the brothers’ careers were successful, their relationship had improved as well.

Aoyama Xiu Xin, while fiddling with a conscience that his sister-in-law hadn’t had time to cover up, said, "I’m fine, the culprit and the mastermind behind it have already been caught by me."

He signaled his sister-in-law with his eyes to play a tune on his flute.

Sighing, the sister-in-law rolled her eyes in annoyance and helplessness and knelt down in front of him on the couch.

"Ah, hiss~"

"What’s that? And you say you’re not hurt! I can hear you sucking in air from the pain!" Aoyama Sosuke, hearing the sound from this end, became immediately anxious.

"Not that, big brother, you’re worried and confused. Just now, big sister’s teeth accidentally hit me, ah hiss, easy big sister, go slow."

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~

Only a series of busy tones were left on the phone.

Aoyama Xiu Xin smirked. His brother was truly too stingy, not even willing to help his own brother out a bit.

He appreciated his sister-in-law more, for she truly was close to her brother-in-law.
