Chapter 86: The Sword of Damocles
"I'm getting better!"
"Hey, teacher...... Thank you for your concern, the doctor said, I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days!"
"Oh, really, I've been so badly injured this time, I have to be careful in the future!"
"Hey, follow your teachings, teacher, I'll pay attention to it in the future!"
……
When Keiko was lying on the hospital bed, trying to support her weak body and talking back to Nobuko Ando, although her attitude was respectful, there was an indescribable desire in her eyes.
"So...... What are your plans when you recover, do you plan to stay in the National Police Agency or do you plan to challenge for the upcoming Diet election?"
"Teacher?"
"Keiko, you must know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your father has been avenged this time, and the prisoners who have been under his care have helped him to overturn the grievances. Do you know what it means to call those people in the newspapers nowadays, saying that they are the modern version of the Forty-Seven Righteous Men of Akoho, and that this incident is comparable to that of the loyal ministers, don't you know what it means......? If you are willing to change your surname to Hojo again, those who sympathize with the plight of your father and daughter will be desperate to hand over their votes to you, right...... Don't you know how important this opportunity is?"
"I understand, teacher, but ...... I still need time to think about it!"
"Why? Do you prefer your current position, don't forget, the Chief Cabinet Secretary of the National Police Agency is only subordinate to the Chief of the National Police Agency, and there is a decision-making body like the Public Safety Committee at the top of the National Police Agency, right...... Don't you want to inherit your father's ambition and be a man who can change the country?"
"I'm sorry, teacher!
"That's good, Jingzi, you are my most important student, we say that we are teachers and students, but in fact, we are more like mother and daughter, for so many years, I have always regarded you as my daughter!"
……
When Lin Xiuyi walked out of the elevator as usual, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator door, he saw that the corridor was actually full of security personnel in civilian clothes. Soon, the police officer who was transferred by the police department to guard in front of Jingzi's door saw Lin Xiu appear, and immediately ran over to him and said:
"Lin Police, now that Minister Ando is inside, you ......"
Just as the other party was talking, I saw a woman wearing a white professional skirt and a councilor's chrysanthemum coat of arms on her chest suddenly walked out of Keiko's room, and then walked towards the elevator surrounded by her subordinates. Seeing this, Lin Xiu hurriedly hid on the side of the road with the policeman, and then lowered his head and saluted the other party.
"Lin Jingshi, I haven't seen each other for a long time, it seems that ...... Keiko has been taken care of by you a lot during this time!"
When Nobuko Ando saw Lin Xiuyi's figure, she suddenly stopped, and then walked to Lin Xiuyi's side and greeted him warmly.
"Ah...... Hey, I really didn't expect that Minister Ando would come to visit Keiko!"
As soon as Lin Xiu heard the other party greet him, he immediately raised his head and replied in a calm tone. This time, the reason why the Shiroyama faction was able to fall was that in addition to Nobuko Ando's frontal attack, Hayashi Shuichi's investigation also played a key role. Although the Metropolitan Police Department has more than 45,000 police officers, it is possible to mobilize the IRS and FBI police to investigate crimes, and the whole of Japan may only be able to do so with the young man in front of him. But...... It's a shame that this apolitically minded guy doesn't realize what kind of terrifying sword he has in his hands!
Nobuko Ando just sighed secretly in her heart, and then said goodbye to Lin Xiuyi and left without saying anything. And Lin Shuichi was after Minister Ando's people left. Only then did he step into Jingzi's hospital room. When Jingzi saw Lin Xiuyi appear, he sat up from the bed with his body propped up again. Then he greeted Lin Xiuyi warmly:
"You're here, it's early today!"
"Yes, I saw that the weather was good, and I remembered that the doctor said a few days ago that you would be discharged from the hospital in a few days, so I came over to take a look!
"Okay!"
……
After hearing Lin Xiuyi's suggestion, Jingzi put on her coat and then sat in a wheelchair with the help of Lin Xiuyi, and then Lin Xiuyi pushed her to the garden downstairs, and the two strolled all the way, chatting with me one by one, and soon, Lin Xiuyi asked about Nobuko Ando.
"I saw Minister Ando in the corridor just now, may I ask...... Isn't she looking for you for something?"
"Well, she came to me to get me to run for the next congressional election......"
"Congressman elections?"
"Hey, the fall of the Jozan faction has shaken the foundation of the current prime minister's governance, and the dissolution of the cabinet and parliament is probably inevitable!"
"So...... You're leaving the National Police Department, aren't you?"
"I'm not thinking about it yet, okay! My foundation is completely built on Minister Ando's body, even if I come out to run, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of Minister Ando's control, once something happens, I can only look at her, and in the end I'm just a sound worm!"
Hearing Jingzi's words, Lin Xiuyi only pondered for a while, and then understood the reason, for the arrogant Jingzi, once he became a member of the National Assembly, he would inevitably have his own opinions. But now that she is running for election, I'm afraid that even raising funds will need the help of Minister Ando! In this way, Keiko will not be able to get rid of Minister Ando's control, and even as a member of parliament, her relationship with Nobuko Ando can only be the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the past.
"But...... Xiu-chan, through this incident, I have discovered an ability in you that no one can match!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Jingzi suddenly say this, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little blushing, and he was still wondering why he was talking about business and suddenly got to that aspect!
"That...... More compliments, but ...... Don't talk about this topic now, it's really embarrassing to be heard!"
"Na...... Nani: What's going on in your head? I'm not talking about it...... Not that...... Yes...... What an embarrassment!"
"Ah...... Misunderstood, I thought so...... What the hell did you just want to say?"
"I said that...... It's your connections in the IRS and FBI, and through this incident, those politicians now know that the Metropolitan Police Department can directly obtain evidence of the crimes of congressmen from the IRS, and you must know that Americans don't care about Japan's judicial immunity, and your ability is really the sharpest sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of those politicians with evil intentions!"
