Chapter 614: Chapter 504: Words that Condemn the Heart, Unleashing the Fury of the Green Turtle_2

"Idiot! What nonsense are you spouting!" Kudou Tatsuo completely lost his composure, his eyes red as he glared at Hattori.

Hattori spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, his face full of mockery as he said, "Everyone knows whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you know best yourself. We rise through the ranks by shedding blood and sweat, yet you climb the ladder thanks to your wife’s ’waterworks’!"

That remark was vicious, and among the onlookers, some couldn’t hold back a snicker.

"Pfft~"

"Ah! Bastard, I’ll kill you!" A flushed with anger Kudou Tatsuo bellowed and lunged at Hattori.

Hattori had deliberately not fought back at first, but now that things had degenerated to this point, he naturally wouldn’t just stand there getting hit. He kicked Kudou Tatsuo to the ground and, stepping on his face, looked down at him and said, "You still dare to use your position to pressure me, don’t you have any clue as to how you got that position? Calling you ’Manager’ is out of respect for the power, not for you, you dead turtle!"

"Ah! Ah!" Kudou Tatsuo, pinned to the ground and unable to move, roared furiously, venting his humiliation.

"What are you all doing!" Accompanied by the sound of high heels clacking against the floor, a sharp reprimand echoed.

Having been informed, Kudou Misaki arrived.

The onlookers quickly and tactfully made way.

Kudou Misaki, dressed in a black suit, showed no expression, exuding a strong oppressive aura.

Hattori, who had been stepping on Kudou Tatsuo, seemed to cower a bit, hurriedly moving his foot and bowing nervously, "Minister Kudou, please let me explain..."

"Slap!" Kudou Misaki, without saying another word and with a stern face, stepped forward and fiercely slapped his face.

After receiving the slap, Hattori paused and then continued, "Manager Kudou bumped into me..."

"Slap!" Kudou Misaki delivered another slap.

"It was also him who hit me first..."

"Slap!"

"Hey!"

"Slap!"

After enduring four slaps, Hattori, his face swollen and bloody, fell silent.

Kudou Misaki did not hit him again; she turned and looked disdainfully at Kudou Tatsuo before bending over to help him up.

"Husband, get up."

"Ah!" Kudou Tatsuo, however, let out a loud shout and shook off her hand, scrambling to his feet and staggering away.

Kudou Misaki frowned and turned back to glance at Hattori, "You don’t need to come in tomorrow."

"Minister Kudou, is that all there is to it? Hattori is my man. Even if you want to dismiss him, you should at least give me a heads-up," Aoyama Xiu Xin, clad in a silver suit with one hand casually in his pocket, strolled over and spoke indifferently.

"Minister Aoyama!"

"Minister Aoyama!"

The onlookers began bowing and greeting him again.

Aoyama Xiu Xin paid them no attention, glanced at the injuries on Hattori’s face, shook his head, and then looked at Kudou Misaki, "I was about to leave work when I was informed by my subordinates that a conflict had arisen between my man and Minister Kudou’s husband. I came to see for myself. Hattori, tell me, what have you done to make Minister Kudou so angry that she had to dismiss you? If it’s truly an unforgivable mistake, don’t blame me for personally applying to have you fired!"

"Yes!" Hattori bowed and said respectfully, "I was carrying a stack of documents to deliver to you, and as I turned a corner, I was knocked down by Manager Kudou in a rush to leave work. I was only focused on picking up the documents and didn’t see who had bumped into me. I accidentally blurted out some angry words in the heat of the moment, angering Manager Kudou."

"Ha!" Kudou Misaki sneered, no matter the reason, daring to curse a superior was disrespectful.

Aoyama Xiu Xin frowned, "Continue."

"Upon recognizing Manager Kudou, I knew immediately that I was wrong, and I stopped talking. But Manager Kudou hit me, and the more I stepped back, the more ruthless he became. Everyone saw it, I didn’t fight back at first, and only after I couldn’t bear it anymore, did I push him and said some unpleasant words."

"What did you say?" asked Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Hattori Tatsuo cautiously glanced at Kudou Misaki, his lips quivered as if he wanted to speak but stopped himself.

Aoyama Xiu Xin barked, "Speak up!"

"I...I said his promotion was thanks to Minister Kudou," Hattori Tatsuo carefully said.

Kudou Misaki’s face turned cold upon hearing this.

"Slap!" Aoyama Xiu Xin backhanded him, knocking him to the ground and scolded sharply, "Who are you to fabricate stories about your superiors? How dare you insinuate nonsense about the appointments handed down by your higher-ups? Preposterous! I think Manager Kudou didn’t hit you hard enough!"

The slap was full of force.

"Forgive me! I acknowledge my mistake!" Hattori Tatsuo climbed up from the ground, dusty and bowed deeply to apologize.

"Hmph!" Aoyama Xiu Xin snorted and turned to look at Kudou Misaki sighing deeply, and with a very humble attitude said, "Minister Kudou, I failed to discipline him properly which led to his loose tongue. Manager Kudou has hit him, and you did as well, and I’ve just disciplined him. Considering the merits he has earned for our department, please honor me by sparing him this once."

The onlookers didn’t think any less of Aoyama Xiu Xin for this; instead, they saw it as humane, that he was willing to beseech an official of equal rank on behalf of his subordinate.

"Since Minister Aoyama has put it that way, let’s call it even," Kudou Misaki said coldly, although Aoyama Xiu Xin put the blame on Hattori Tatsuo, she knew the fault was not his.

Insisting on dealing with Hattori Tatsuo would cause others to think poorly of her, and also offend Aoyama Xiu Xin; it simply wasn’t worth it.

For just a lowly police inspector, there would be a chance to deal with him later; there was no need to rush.

Aoyama Xiu Xin broke into a smile, "Thank you, Minister Kudou, for granting me this favor. I will apologize personally to Director Fujimoto, I am truly sorry."

"It’s not your fault, Minister Aoyama, why apologize? Forget about it, in the end, it’s a trivial matter." Kudou Misaki’s face softened with a smile as she waved her hand generously, then excused herself and walked away.

Aoyama Xiu Xin glared at Hattori Tatsuo, then went to find Fujimoto Takayoshi, who hadn’t left yet, to apologize on behalf of Hattori Tatsuo, stating his own failure in discipline.

Fujimoto Takayoshi was already aware of the full story.

He wasn’t annoyed because his actions were not hindered by gossip and he was unafraid of people talking; besides, Aoyama Xiu Xin’s humbling himself showed that he valued Hattori Tatsuo, so making a fuss over such a minor issue might cause Aoyama Xiu Xin to resent. Better to be generous.

Aoyama Xiu Xin kept praising Fujimoto Takayoshi, comparing him to a prime minister of generous belly where a boat could sail, flattering him until he was in high spirits, and then took his leave.

The moment he left the office, his face revealed a meaningful smile, Kudou Tatsuo indeed had been holding back anger for many years, and once unleashed, it was not so easily contained.

"Minister."

Hattori Tatsuo, who was waiting outside, called out.

"Let’s go, you’ve worked hard today." Aoyama Xiu Xin patted his shoulder, speaking in a calm tone.

Looking like a beaten pulp, Hattori Tatsuo did not hesitate to say, "To bleed for you is my honor."

The punches taken and blood spilled today would be compensated in another way in the future.

Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled and walked away with a stride.

"Take care, Minister!" Hattori Tatsuo bowed.
