CHAPTER 801: CHAPTER 660: DUST SETTLES, MIYASHITA HIDEKATSU ELECTED GOVERNOR

This morning, the streets of Sapporo were particularly bustling.

Firefighters were spraying water on vehicles and houses that were scorched; cleaners were washing away bloodstains on the ground; police were visiting door-to-door.

All the citizens were discussing last night’s events.

This morning’s news shocked the entire nation: the Mayor of Sapporo City publicly reported illegal activities and resigned; Governor Heng Lu Guangnan resisted investigation and condoned chaos by corrupt police and the Black Society, but accidentally fell to his death...

Each and every incident was appalling.

Prime Minister Yanchuan Shilang held a press conference on this matter and delivered a public speech, criticizing Heng Lu Guangnan’s illegal behavior; affirming Miyashita Hidekatsu’s perseverance in collecting evidence and exposing it; and praising Aoyama Xiu Xin for his swift response in stopping the unrest.

Although several newspapers reported that insiders claimed Heng Lu Guangnan was pushed off the building, this unsupported claim did not cause much of a stir.

Instead, it attracted severe backlash from the authorities against fabricating fake news to boost sales.

Do you know more?

Do you dare to speak the truth?

Those who lack awareness will be dealt with!

In the afternoon, in the study of the Miyashita family, Miyashita Hidekatsu looked at Aoyama Xiu Xin opposite him and said, "Last night was truly perilous. Fortunately, Mr. Aoyama’s people were reliable, otherwise, had we not killed Heng Lu Guangnan immediately, Hokkaido would have been thrown into chaos, with unforeseeable consequences."

If Hokkaido fell into chaos, Heng Lu Guangnan’s connections in Congress would pressure the Cabinet, and for overall stability, Yanchuan Shilang would probably have no choice but to protect Heng Lu Guangnan, rendering Miyashita Hidekatsu’s sacrifice futile.

And if this time the Cabinet couldn’t deal with Heng Lu Guangnan, then his dominion in Hokkaido would become even more secure, and he would easily be able to expel Aoyama Xiu Xin back to Tokyo.

A dead end awaited Miyashita Hidekatsu.

"It was indeed dangerous, but I still believe the credit goes to Mayor Miyashita; without your self-sacrifice to report Heng Lu Guangnan, none of us would have had the chance to act," Aoyama Xiu Xin said, pouring tea for him proactively.

"Ah, I’m no longer the mayor." Miyashita Hidekatsu shook his head and took a sip from his teacup.

"Yes, yes, I forgot," Aoyama Xiu Xin clapped his forehead in regret, then chuckled, "Not a mayor anymore, soon you’ll be called Governor."

"Hahaha." Miyashita Hidekatsu couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. Despite the risks he took in this matter, he was now arguably the biggest winner. Feigning modesty, he said, "Let’s not speak too soon, Mr. Aoyama."

"When Senior Miyashita goes out and listens, everyone praises your noble character and resilience under insult, right? You gave up the mayor’s position to expose Heng Lu Guangnan’s true nature. Who wouldn’t admire that? If the people of Hokkaido don’t elect you as governor, who else would they elect?" Aoyama Xiu Xin said teasingly with a smile.

Miyashita Hidekatsu couldn’t hide his smile and said with feigned shame, "Ah, how generous the people of Sapporo are to Miyashita Hidekatsu. But alas, I reported Heng Lu Guangnan out of personal motives, truly making me ashamed."

"People judge by deeds, not motives. Regardless of why Senior Miyashita reported Heng Lu Guangnan, the act itself was good. Why feel ashamed for the praise you rightfully deserve?" Aoyama Xiu Xin shook his head.

"Being older yet not seeing as clearly as Mr. Aoyama, making me feel even more ashamed." Miyashita Hidekatsu sighed and then became serious, "You’re right. As long as I wholeheartedly work for the welfare of the people of Hokkaido, I will deserve this praise."

"Haha, Senior Miyashita shouldn’t only focus on the people of Hokkaido. You should also look out for my welfare!" Aoyama Xiu Xin joked.

The future governor being his ally meant making money in Hokkaido would be even easier and smoother.

Miyashita Hidekatsu laughed heartily and jokingly retorted, "If the people of Hokkaido knew Mr. Aoyama never considered himself one of them, they’d be heartbroken!"

"Now it’s my turn to feel ashamed," Aoyama Xiu Xin spread his hands helplessly.

The two exchanged glances and laughed together.

After regaining their composure, Aoyama Xiu Xin solemnly said, "Now you should graciously accept my early congratulations, Governor Miyashita."

"I wouldn’t dare. I’m just temporarily holding this position for Mr. Aoyama," Miyashita Hidekatsu said with a smile, knowing that Heng Lu Guangnan’s concern was right, as Yanchuan Shilang indeed intended for Aoyama Xiu Xin to become the Governor of Hokkaido in the future.

However, he wasn’t worried about this because he had not been governor for ten years, and turning Hokkaido into his private garden was impossible; he could only use this position as a stepping stone to climb higher in the future.

Then he changed the subject and asked about another matter, "Mr. Aoyama, how are you planning to handle the police who went to Heng Lu Guangnan’s house that night?"

"The leaders will be dismissed, and other ordinary members will not be pursued," Aoyama Xiu Xin responded calmly.

Fortunately, those disloyal to him revealed themselves this time, and he took the opportunity to clean them out.

From now on, the police headquarters would be entirely under his control.

Miyashita Hidekatsu slowly nodded, relieved that Aoyama Xiu Xin, despite being young, did not act impulsively and pursue all the police’s responsibilities, which would likely stir up more trouble.

"Knock, knock, knock!" A knock on the door was followed by Miyashita Ryouko poking her head in, her voice crisp and clear, "Dad, Mom is calling you."

"Mr. Aoyama, I’ll go for a moment. Please sit for a while, and I’ll be back soon to keep you company." Miyashita Hidekatsu gave Aoyama Xiu Xin an apologetic look.

Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded, "You go ahead, don’t mind me. I’ll sit a while longer before taking my leave."

"That won’t do, you must stay for dinner tonight at my place, it’s decided." Miyashita Hidekatsu said firmly and walked out without waiting for refusal.

But Miyashita Ryouko stayed behind, smiling playfully, "Dad, I’ll entertain Mr. Aoyama for you."

Miyashita Hidekatsu paused in his steps, wanting to call Miyashita Ryouko away but struggled to say anything in front of Aoyama Xiu Xin, so he just nodded and left on his own.

After Miyashita Ryouko closed the door, she walked directly over and straddled Aoyama Xiu Xin’s lap, facing him.

She was dressed coolly, wearing a colorful piece of cloth tied with a knot at her back, revealing a little of her round, plump bosom, her flat belly, and her delicate collarbone. Her lower body was clad in denim shorts, showing off her long legs; the shorts were so short that even the lace of her panties was faintly visible.

Her jet-black hair was tied in two ponytails, swaying behind her head with her movements, with a few strands hanging over her forehead, making her look pure and lively, youthful and vibrant.

Aoyama Xiu Xin instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist to prevent her from falling, finding her skin as smooth and tender as cream, seemingly able to encompass her completely with his large hands.

"Mr. Aoyama did something big last night."

Miyashita Ryouko said breathily.

"And so?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked with a smile.

Miyashita Ryouko’s eyes almost sparked, staring at him intently, "So do me too."

"Another day, today’s not the right occasion, this is your father’s study after all." Aoyama Xiu Xin shook his head.

"Isn’t it more exciting here?" Miyashita Ryouko tugged on Aoyama Xiu Xin’s tie, pulling him close face to face, lightly biting her red lips and said with a dreamy look, "Thinking about what you did last night excites me, makes me want to do it with you."

Just like how men enjoy conquering women of high status and are capable of great deeds, women feel the same way.

The thought of the powerful Aoyama Xiu Xin submitting to her charms thrilled her immensely.

"How much do you want it?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked.

Miyashita Ryouko’s face turned rosy as she whispered in his ear, "So much that drool is running down."

"I don’t believe you." Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a teasing smile.

Miyashita Ryouko stood up from his embrace, her fair feet stepping on the carpet as she retreated two steps, slowly unbuttoning her denim shorts, then lifted her leg and kicked the warm shorts at Aoyama Xiu Xin’s face.

Truly a natural beauty with allure at every turn, who could resist in such a situation?

Aoyama Xiu Xin stood up, "Which school did you graduate from? Your credentials seem a bit inflated."

"I’m only 18, haven’t graduated yet, so of course my credentials are inflated." Miyashita Ryouko replied.

"How are Liangzi’s academic results?"

"Not very good, just about average."

"Then let me guide you a bit."

As an accomplished graduate from Tokyo University, Aoyama Xiu Xin patiently and deeply guided the academically struggling Miyashita Ryouko, and Miyashita Ryouko knew such an opportunity was rare and eagerly learned one new position after another, thrilled and gaining much.

Miyashita Hidekatsu had just reached the study door when he heard the sounds inside, and the hand ready to push the door opened had to retract as he cursed under his breath and went downstairs with a scowl.

He knew he shouldn’t have left those two alone together.

Young people today truly lack self-control, unlike him, who could stay calm and unmoved even with a beautiful woman standing naked in front of him.

In the evening, Aoyama Xiu Xin had dinner at the Miyashita family home.

Having spent his energy on Miyashita Ryouko, he indulged in one bowl after another to replenish his energy.

What was lost at the Miyashita family.

Must of course be regained at the Miyashita family!

But Miyashita Hidekatsu seemed to have a poor appetite tonight.

He ate very little.

And Miyashita Ryouko’s appetite seemed poor as well.

She also ate very little.

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

In mid-August, Hokkaido held a new gubernatorial election, and Miyashita Hidekatsu was elected as the new governor with an overwhelming majority, as expected.

The era belonging to Heng Lu Guangnan had ended.

Next, Miyashita Hidekatsu will gradually, in cooperation with Yanchuan Shilang, cleanse the officials of various cities in Hokkaido, remnants of Heng Lu Guangnan, replacing them with his own people.
