CHAPTER 799: CHAPTER 658: WHAT DO OTHERS’ CRITICISMS HAVE TO DO WITH ME? TAKE ACTION

That night at eleven o’clock, Sapporo City’s Mayor, Miyashita Hidekatsu, suddenly announced an emergency press conference at the city hall, prompting many journalists to get out of bed and work overtime.

At the same time, Aoyama Xiu Xin had not yet fallen asleep.

At this moment, he was at Ueda Hanon’s house, sitting naked on the sofa, smoking a cigarette after finishing up.

His two big hairy legs were spread wide.

The pendulum swung lazily.

Ueda Hanon, having just finished her shower, came down from the upstairs, rubbing her hair. Her thin strap nightdress clung to her body, unable to contain her ample bosom, which seemed to jiggle precariously with each step as if about to spring out.

She walked over to Aoyama Xiu Xin, her plump, shapely buttocks settled on his lap. She snatched the cigarette from his mouth, took a puff, and blew out smoke slowly at him, "Got something on your mind?"

"Is it that obvious?" Aoyama Xiu Xin rubbed his face, reclaimed the cigarette, and popped it back into his mouth.

Ueda Hanon rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless, and said, "Of course, you were distracted even while doing me, your rhythm was all over the place, I had to do it myself."

Today’s was her worst experience recently.

"Yes, I’m a bit preoccupied. You should get some sleep early; I won’t be sleeping tonight." Aoyama Xiu Xin flicked the ash off his cigarette.

Ueda Hanon’s creamy, lotus-like arms hooked around his neck, while her long, shapely legs beneath her dress swayed playfully, her toes wiggling adorably, "I’m not sleepy either, we might as well chat."

"What shall we talk about?" Aoyama Xiu Xin’s large hand unbidden slid up her leg, tracing the curves slowly.

Although she was a military officer, Ueda Hanon frequently participated in military training, so even though she was over thirty, she maintained a fantastic figure, with prominently toned muscles.

Keeping fit truly is the secret to staying young.

"Hmm~" Ueda Hanon pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Let’s talk about your future plans."

"My future huh..." Aoyama Xiu Xin stared blankly ahead for a while, then replied with a smile: "In the future, I will become the youngest head of state in Japan, or even the whole world. Then, I’ll sleep in the dragon bed, disgrace the women of the royal family, and do whatever I please. No one can say no to me. Whoever dares to oppose me, I’ll capture them."

Ueda Hanon looked at him for a while and then burst out laughing, "Wouldn’t that make you Japan’s eternal sinner? In this day and age, you still want to be a dictator, benevolent people will overthrow you."

"But before they overthrow me, at least I’d have enjoyed myself." Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled indifferently, then changed the subject, "Besides, who says they’re definitely the ones to overthrow me, and not me suppressing all these rebels attempting to subvert the regime?"

"What about internationally? Surely the international community would criticize and oppose you," Ueda Hanon added.

Aoyama Xiu Xin laughed heartily, his large hand recklessly ravaging her delicate body, "I just want to be the king of Japan, not the king of the world. What does other people’s criticism have to do with me? Can they stop me from enjoying life? After working hard for so many years, shouldn’t I get to enjoy a little?"

"In dreams, anything is possible." Ueda Hanon playfully poked his forehead, clearly not taking him seriously.

But Aoyama Xiu Xin was invigorated, having never revealed his true ambitions to anyone before, "I want to blow up the divine toilet. Japanese people should only worship me! I’m the Prime Minister, and my son will be the Prime Minister, my grandson too, for generations endlessly, because I have already borne all the hardships for them..."

"Alright, alright, Mr. Prime Minister, you’re hurting me," Ueda Hanon pouted with a furrowed brow, playfully complaining.

She only thought Aoyama Xiu Xin was boasting.

Unknowingly, he was really working towards it.

At twelve, reporters from multiple nationwide media outlets gathered in the city hall auditorium, bustling with activity.

"What’s going on? Do you know?"

"No idea! I haven’t heard anything."

"I was freaking asleep, got a call from the editor-in-chief to get up and work overtime, hope the announcement is worth it, or I’ll curse his entire family."

The hall was abuzz with chatter.

Until Miyashita Hidekatsu, dressed in a suit, stepped onto the stage holding a thick file folder, the murmuring gradually quieted, replaced by clicking shutters.

"Click!" "Click!" "Click!"

Miyashita Hidekatsu walked to the center, placed the file folder on the podium, bowed, then straightened and adjusted the microphone before him, speaking in a deep voice, "I am Miyashita Hidekatsu, Mayor of Sapporo City. On behalf of the city hall, I welcome all the journalists who have come, but this press conference is not held on behalf of the city hall, but solely out of my personal will."

Upon hearing this, the reporters below could already smell the scent of big news, and they began to get excited.

"Here, I wish to publicly report that Governor of Hokkaido, Heng Lu Guangnan, has been receiving bribes for years, selling official positions, and has interests entangled with businessmen. This is the evidence in my hand, and I will hand it over to the police!"

Miyashita Hidekatsu shouted as he held the file folder high.

Bang!

This statement instantly blew up the entire venue.

Everyone was stunned, and once they came to their senses, discussions broke out all around, while some directly took out their phones to dial and inform Heng Lu Guangnan’s secretary.

Meanwhile, Miyashita Hidekatsu’s voice continued.

"Over these years, I’ve been forced to betray my conscience and collude with him just to deceive and gain his trust for his criminal evidence. Now I can finally reveal it to the public. At the same time, although it was not my original intention, I am ultimately involved in illegal activities, so I will resign from the position of Mayor of Sapporo City and will surrender all ill-gotten gains."

At the same time Miyashita Hidekatsu’s press conference began.

Aoyama Xiu Xin had already picked up the phone and called Nakamura Shinichi, coolly saying, "You can proceed."

"Yes!" Nakamura Shinichi, who had been waiting for the order, responded and, after hanging up, looked at the ten figures in the office, saying, "Gentlemen, let’s move out."

"Hey!" ten people replied gravely.

Then two police cars, lights flashing and sirens blaring, sped out of the police headquarters, heading straight for Yokoji Guangnan’s residence.

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

"Ring ring! Ring ring! Ring ring!"

The urgent ringing echoed through the empty bedroom.

The already light-sleeping Heng Lu Guangnan instantly awoke, grabbed the phone and answered, "What’s the matter?"

"Governor, something terrible has happened. That bastard Miyashita Hidekatsu held an urgent press conference tonight, publicly accusing you of numerous crimes, and he has also announced his resignation," Imamura Masafumi said anxiously.

"What? Baka yarou!" Heng Lu Guangnan was both shocked and furious upon hearing this, and at the same time realized his premonition was indeed correct, and said, "Immediately gather our men in the police to my home, and order all the violent gangs under our control to hit the streets and create chaos."

As long as he ensured his personal freedom wasn’t immediately compromised, and created chaos in Sapporo, he, as governor, could declare a state of emergency throughout the district, and the initiative would return to him.

Of course, legally, no official other than the Prime Minister has the right to declare a state of emergency, but this was just a matter of semantics. The governor has the right to take preemptive emergency action when he perceives the situation as deteriorating, and to request residents’ cooperation.

In Hokkaido, most cities are essentially his territory.

So once he gave such an order, all cities would cooperate and respond, and Hokkaido would effectively enter a state of martial law. His people in the National Assembly and Cabinet would thus pressure Yanchuan Shilang.

After all, he hasn’t been just lining his own pockets all these years; he’s been providing benefits to the National Assembly elite as well.

Whoever doesn’t help him, he’ll drag down with him in self-destruction.

Imamura Masafumi replied, "The police are already arranged; they are on their way to your house. I’ll immediately instruct the violent gangs."

"Good." After hanging up the phone, Heng Lu Guangnan immediately got out of bed and instructed the maid not to open the door for anyone, while commanding the servants to block the villa door with furniture.

Meanwhile, he was in the living room, using both his mobile phone and landline, making call after call.

His hands were practically sparking with friction.

Nakamura Shinichi’s men arrived first, parked outside Yokoji Guangnan’s house, and a group of them quickly got out, directly using a battering ram on the door without saying a word.

But after several attempts, the door wouldn’t budge.

"Report to the Minister, it’s blocked inside!"

"Damn it!" Nakamura Shinichi cursed with a dark expression, urgently knowing that Yokoji Guangnan’s men were surely on their way, looking around and shouting, "Everyone, move aside!"

He then turned around, got into the car, started the engine, and turned the car to face the villa door, then slammed the gas pedal.

Vroom—crash!

Accompanied by the roar of the engine and a loud crash.

The villa door and various pieces of furniture behind it used to block the door were directly knocked open by the car, dust filled the air, and a Yokoji family servant was directly killed on the spot.

The ten officers who came with Nakamura Shinichi were all dumbfounded watching this scene.

"Baka!" Heng Lu Guangnan came out holding the phone upon hearing the noise, looking at the scene with a thunderous face, hurriedly retreating and locking the door.

"Quick! Break down the door! Break it down!"

Nakamura Shinichi yelled hoarsely after getting out of the car.

"Hey!"

The subordinates, still in shock, finally reacted and hurriedly rushed to ram the villa door.

"Wahoo~ Wahoo~ Wahoo~"

At this time, more sirens wailed intensely.

"Hurry up!" Nakamura Shinichi was utterly anxious.

"Bang!"

The villa door finally crashed open.

Nakamura Shinichi charged in first.

Meanwhile, dozens of police cars had already blocked the road outside Yokoji Guangnan’s house, and one armed police officer after another got out of their cars and rushed into the villa.

"Don’t move! Police! Drop your weapons!"

"We’re police too! Drop your weapons!"

"If you don’t, we’ll shoot!"

"You dare! You’re flaunting the law!"

The standoff quickly formed, with the officers who came with Nakamura Shinichi surrounded. Looking at the densely packed muzzles in front of them, each was pale-faced, drenched in sweat, standing their ground.

Buying time for Nakamura Shinichi inside.
