Watching Aoyama Xiu Xin come out with a thick stack of document folders in his arms, Jin Yucheng hurried forward to help.

After handing them over to Jin Yucheng, Aoyama Xiu Xin opened the back car door and got in. It was only after Jin Yucheng put the documents on the passenger seat and got into the car that Aoyama Xiu Xin said, "To the Police Headquarters."

His official appointment is tomorrow, but today he decided to go see Asai Ayumi in advance and take the opportunity to invite some old colleagues he hadn't seen in a while for a dinner gathering tonight.

"Sure!" Jin Yucheng answered, then started the car. Isn't that what you'd call a voice-activated car?

By the roadside, Aoyama Xiu Xin bought a bouquet of flowers.

Upon arriving at the Police Headquarters, he walked towards the office building with a cheeky smile, carrying the flowers. There wasn't much change despite being away for over a year; everything was still so familiar.

"Minister Aoyama!"

"Good morning, Minister Aoyama."

"Hey, Mr. Aoyama, long time no see. Are you here to find Chief Asai? She's in the office."

Along the way, everyone who met Aoyama Xiu Xin stopped to greet him. He responded warmly with a gentle smile, appearing very familiar.

Arriving at Asai Ayumi's office, Aoyama Xiu Xin knocked on the door to announce himself, and then without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open and entered, "Did I interrupt Chief Asai's work?"

"What are you doing here?" Asai Ayumi was initially upset that someone entered without approval, but her expression instantly changed to a smile upon seeing Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Aoyama Xiu Xin closed the door and walked over to place the flowers on the desk, "Of course, to see you."

"Did you carry them all the way here?" Asai Ayumi lowered her head to sniff the fresh-looking roses, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Isn't this a bit too over the top?"

"Everyone at the Police Headquarters knows you're my fiancée. What's so over the top about giving flowers to my fiancée?" Aoyama Xiu Xin circled behind her, leaned down to embrace her, and they shared a tender, intimate moment cheek to cheek.

Having not been close for a long time, Asai Ayumi turned her head to seek a kiss, leading to an inseparable moment filled with mutual affection, as Aoyama Xiu Xin began to unbutton her police uniform one by one.

It was like unwrapping a gift, peeling off layer after layer until finally seeing the desired surprise.

Their bodies intertwined quickly, sharing a profound connection.

On the desk, the rose blossoms were perfectly fresh and pink, each petal adorned with glistening dewdrops.

After an in-depth conversation aimed directly at the heart, Asai Ayumi nestled in Aoyama Xiu Xin's arms. With a dreamy gaze, she said, "June is a wonderful month."

"Then let's set our wedding for June 1st, just right for creating kids on Children's Day." Aoyama Xiu Xin gently stroked her smooth back, smiling slightly as he spoke.

Asai Ayumi squinted her eyes, curved a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, and hugged Aoyama Xiu Xin tighter.

After cuddling for a moment, they dressed neatly again. Aoyama Xiu Xin casually threw some wads of tissue paper into the trash bin, "Tonight, I'm planning to invite some old colleagues for a gathering. Help me notify them; we'll meet at the restaurant opposite the Police Headquarters that we often went to. I need to see Director Renping now."

"Sure!" Asai Ayumi replied obediently.

Aoyama Xiu Xin rinsed his mouth before getting up to leave.

Asai Ayumi's tender, affectionate gaze lingered on him until the door closed.

This is the mark of Cao Pi being outshone by Cao Shuang.

Aoyama Xiu Xin went to director Renping Kuniaki's office, initially wanting to knock, but heard voices inside and withdrew his hand to stand aside and wait silently.

Despite a brief unpleasantness in the past over Renping Kuniaki's two sons, any small conflicts had long dissipated through subsequent interactions. The other party had always been good to him, and he had consistently respected him.

After waiting about three to five minutes, the office door was pulled open from the inside and a man in his forties wearing a suit came out. He paused for a moment upon seeing Aoyama Xiu Xin, then smiled and said, "I thought I wouldn't see Mr. Aoyama until tomorrow. Let's get acquainted; I'm Miyagi Youcai, Deputy Director of Criminal Affairs."

Upon speaking, he extended a hand.

"Mr. Miyagi." Aoyama Xiu Xin hadn't expected this man to be his deputy, and firmly shook his hand.

Miyagi Youcai released his hand first, helped open the door and said, "I won't interrupt Mr. Aoyama's meeting with Director Renping; there will be plenty of opportunities for a chat in the future."

"Thank you, Mr. Miyagi; you're right, we'll speak more next time there's an opportunity." Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded, acknowledging his assistance in opening the door, and then entered.

Miyagi Youcai closed the door, his smile instantly vanishing, narrowed his eyes and huffed coldly, then turned and headed quickly towards the elevator with a somber expression.

Originally, Asai Youki was the Deputy Director of Criminal Affairs, but was promoted to Minister a few months ago, which is when Miyagi Youcai was transferred to succeed him. Now Asai Youki was promoted to Deputy Commissioner at the Police Headquarters, and Aoyama Xiu Xin succeeded him as Minister, while Miyagi Youcai served under this father-in-law and son-in-law duo as second-in-command consecutively, which inevitably stirred emotions in him.

Especially since they weren't on the same side.

"Director." Aoyama Xiu Xin was unaware of Miyagi Youcai's displeasure. He was now standing before Renping Kuniaki, bowing respectfully in greeting.

Renping Kuniaki laughed heartily, got up to step around his desk, and warmly patted Aoyama Xiu Xin on the shoulder, pretending to blame him, "Mr. Aoyama, you waited outside for a while, why didn't you knock?"

"Didn't dare to interrupt the director's business, and it wasn't too long." Aoyama Xiu Xin said humbly.

Renping Kuniaki let out a breath and said with a beaming smile, "Mr. Aoyama is back; I can finally relax. During the year you were gone, those dormant criminals emerged again in Tokyo, and it's only you, the strong tiger, who can subdue these little foes!"
