Chapter 541: The son wants to kill his father? The unknown past

When Aoyama Hidenori and Miyashita Ryoko arrived at the ward, they saw Kobayashi Nagamasa waiting at the door. There was nothing unusual on his face. He bowed and stopped the two of them and said calmly, “Ms. Ryoko, please wait outside the door for a moment. The mayor wants to see Minister Aoyama.”

“You go first.” Ryoko Miyashita frowned and said to Aoyama Hidenobu. Although she was very concerned about her father’s safety, she did not dare to disobey his orders.

Aoyama Hidenobu nodded, bowed to Kobayashi Nagamasa in return, and then pushed the door open and walked in.

The only people in the ward were the weak Hirokatsu Miyashita on the bed and Toshiaki Miyashita sitting on the edge of the bed. Mrs. Miyashita was not there, probably because she had been sent away.

The look that Miyashita Toshiaki gave him was like a sharp blade, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

Aoyama Hidenobu probably guessed that Kobayashi Nagashima must have reported his affair with Miyashita Ryoko on the rooftop, but he could only bite the bullet and pretend he didn’t see it. He walked up to Miyashita Hiroki with excitement, bowed, and said, “Mayor, you finally woke up. I’m so glad to see that you’re okay.”

“Thank you for your concern, Minister Aoyama.” Miyashita Hirokatsu’s face was pale, his words were difficult, and he spoke in a low voice with his eyes half open and his breathing slightly heavy: “You said there was another gunman at the scene? What’s going on?”

“Hi!” Aoyama Hidenobu responded, and then talked about Muto Kenji’s confession, “Muto Kenji said that when he was about to fire the fourth shot, someone beat him to it, and he saw the gunman with his own eyes. I have had someone draw a portrait of the gunman based on his description, and have also had someone confirm whether the bullet in your chest came from Muto Kenji’s gun. I personally think that he has no need to lie when he is doomed to die.”

“Yes.” Miyashita Hirokatsu nodded, and then fell silent. Aoyama Hidenobu did not dare to speak rashly. After a while, Miyashita Hirokatsu’s voice came, “Minister Aoyama, please describe the appearance of the gunman to me in detail.”

“Hi!” Aoyama Hidenobu felt that the other party’s reaction was a little strange, so he repeated it according to Muto Kenji’s description. The gunman’s appearance was quite easy to remember.

Miyashita Hirokazu was speechless for a long time after listening to this, and his face showed obvious emotional fluctuations. After a while, he suddenly asked again: “Why did Muto Kenji kill me?”

“I just happened to learn about your itinerary today from the news. Knowing that I was going to die, I wanted to make a big news so that more people would remember me.” Aoyama Hidenobu explained in a concise and shocking manner.

After hearing this, Miyashita Hirokatsu opened his mouth to curse but swallowed it back, took a deep breath and said, “Since I’m fine, there’s no need to mobilize a large force. Just let Muto Kenji take all the blame and stop the investigation here.”

Hearing this, Aoyama Hidenobu raised his head and glanced at him in surprise. After meeting his calm gaze, he quickly bowed and said, “Hey! I understand.”

There is obviously something fishy about this matter.

But since Miyashita Hirokatsu didn’t let him investigate, he was too lazy to put in more effort to catch the murderer, and he even wanted to close the case by saying that Muto Kenji, who had already been arrested, was the murderer.

Miyashita Hirokazu exhaled and closed his eyes.

“Father is tired and needs to rest. Minister Aoyama, please do as you please.” When Miyashita Toshiaki saw this scene, he turned his head to look at Aoyama Hidenobu who was sending him away in a cold tone.

“Mayor, please take good care of yourself and try to return to your post as soon as possible. Millions of Sapporo citizens are waiting for you. We will not disturb you anymore.” Aoyama Hidenobu said another sentence against his will, then turned and left.

The moment he left the house, Miyashita Ryoko, who had been waiting outside anxiously, ran past him and cried out in a sobbing voice, “Dad!”

Aoyama Hidenobu closed the door casually, nodded politely to Kobayashi Nagamasa, then straightened his suit and strode away without looking back.

In the ward, Miyashita Guangke comforted his tearful daughter, “Don’t cry, it’s okay, Dad is fine, he will recover as long as he rests for a while.”

“Yeah.” Ryoko Miyashita nodded with sobs.

After a while, Ryoko Miyashita was sent away.

Miyashita Risashi finally spoke, “Dad…”

“My daughter was just playing with a man, and she did it when she was in the mood. It’s no big deal. Don’t mention it again.” Miyashita Hirokatsu interrupted him.

The pattern needs to be opened up.

Miyashita Toshiaki was speechless when he heard this. Although he said so, he always felt that his family was at a disadvantage. However, his father’s attitude made it impossible for him to continue talking about this topic. He could only change the subject and said, “Why don’t you let Aoyama Hidenori investigate the gunman? It is not difficult to determine his identity with a portrait. If you don’t get rid of such a person, you will be in danger at any time.”

“I’ll have someone take care of this matter. You don’t need to worry about it.” Miyashita Guangke seemed a little irritated. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, “You go and do your own thing. Let Xiaolin come in.”

Miyashita Toshiaki could only leave with reluctance on his face.

After he went out and closed the door, he stopped Xiaolin Yongzhen and asked in a stiff tone: “Tell me what’s going on? I want to know what happened!”

He thought his father would tell him the whole story after he woke up, so he didn’t ask even though he knew that Kobayashi Nagamasa might know about it. This was the confidence of a son, but he didn’t expect that Miyashita Hirokatsu would hide it from him, and he couldn’t force his biological father to answer, so now he could only ask Kobayashi Nagamasa.

Moreover, he was very dissatisfied that his father always discussed everything with Kobayashi Nagamasa instead of with himself. Although the secretary was indeed trustworthy, could an outsider be more reliable and trustworthy than his own family?

Since it concerned his father’s safety, he felt that as a son he needed to find out what had happened.

“Please don’t make it difficult for me, young master. Since the mayor didn’t tell you, then you naturally can’t get any useful information from me.” Kobayashi Nagamasa bowed and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Miyashita Toshiaki grabbed his collar and dragged him away from the ward, slamming him against the wall and saying coldly, “I admire your loyalty to your father, but I am very angry at your contempt for me. This is related to your father’s safety. I think you should consider who will protect you if something happens to your father.”

As a popular councillor in Asahikawa, he has his own power. Even if Hiroki Miyashita is dead, he is still a political force that cannot be ignored. So he is qualified to say such things.

Kobayashi Yongzhen’s expression changed.

In the past, he was wholeheartedly loyal to Miyashita Hiroki and had never considered this aspect. However, this time Miyashita Hiroki was attacked and his life was hanging by a thread, which did make him worried about this aspect. Putting all his future on one person, his ability to resist risks is really too poor.

“Kobayashi, I hope you can not only be my father’s right-hand man, but also the right-hand man of our Miyashita family.” Miyashita Toshiaki had already seen his hesitation, so he added fuel to the fire.

Kobayashi Nagamasa pursed his lips and spoke slowly in a low voice: “There are many people who have grudges against the mayor, and there are always many people who want to kill him, but these people dare not break the rules of the officialdom, so they will not take action. However, there is one exception.”

It wouldn’t be considered betrayal if I revealed some information to the mayor’s son. Even if the mayor found out about it, he wouldn’t pursue it. After all, we are all family.

“Who?” Miyashita Toshiaki asked immediately.

Kobayashi Nagashima’s face was serious, and he said a name almost word by word: “Miyazaki Tei.”

“Who is he?” Miyashita Toshiaki quickly searched in his mind to confirm that he had never heard of this person.

Kobayashi Nagamasa was silent for a moment, then subconsciously lowered his voice and said, “The mayor has made many mistakes that men would make in the past. Some, like Master Naoyou, were handled well, but others were not handled well. Miyazaki Tei is a disaster that was not handled well.”

“He is my father’s illegitimate son?” Miyashita Toshiaki’s eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives, he was shocked and couldn’t believe it. Suddenly he understood why Miyashita Hirokazu kept silent about this matter to him. After all, it was better to let outsiders know about this than to let his family know about it.

Kobayashi Nagamasa nodded. “Miyazaki Tei’s mother was a hostess. She was quite pretty. Thirty years ago, she was spotted by the mayor who had just entered the government at a business party and was favored by him for a while.”

“Then the woman suddenly disappeared. She was just a woman that the mayor was tired of. The mayor didn’t care about it. But a year later, the woman suddenly came to him with a child and forced him to marry her.”

“A bitch is a bitch, she is very scheming.” Miyashita Toshiaki couldn’t help but curse in a low voice when he heard this.

When the woman found out she was pregnant, she was afraid that she would be forced to have an abortion, so she hid herself away to take care of the baby. After the fact, she brought the child to the man’s house to force him to abdicate. How many men would have the heart to disown their adorable son after seeing him?

Kobayashi Nagamasa continued, “The mayor was already married to his wife at the time, so of course he couldn’t marry her. But you weren’t even born at that time, and Miyazaki Ting was the mayor’s first child, so he couldn’t just ignore it. He was even more afraid that a woman would take the child out and cause a big fuss, which would ruin his career.”

“So he could only try his best to provide good material conditions for the woman while dragging it out for a few years. After you were born, he was no longer that concerned about Miyazaki Ting and his mother. When Miyazaki Ting’s mother noticed this, she became more and more extreme in pressuring the mayor and instigated Miyazaki Ting to press him, causing the mayor to become more and more annoyed and impatient with them, and his attitude became increasingly cold.”

“Until more than a decade ago, when the mayor was competing for an important position, Miyazaki Ting’s mother threatened him that she would find a reporter to expose him. Soon after, Miyazaki Ting’s home caught fire and Miyazaki Ting’s mother was burned to death. He was not at home and escaped the disaster.”

Xiao Lin Yongzhen finished speaking in one breath and added in a deep voice, “I was the one who had the fire set.”

Naturally, it was the person that Hiroki Miyashita had asked him to find.

After hearing about his father’s dark history, Miyashita Toshiaki was speechless for a long time. His father’s mistake was that he was not cruel enough when he was young, and became too cruel when he grew older.

No wonder Miyazaki Ting wanted to kill him.

His father is such a beast!

“Has he not taken any action in all these years?” asked Miyashita Toshiaki with a frown.

If it were him, he wouldn’t have been able to endure until today.

Xiaolin Yongzhen shook his head. “Not long after his mother was burned to death, he attempted to assassinate her, but failed because he was in such a hurry. After that, he disappeared. This time he must have come back.”

“I understand.” Miyashita Toshiashi was silent for a while, then he let out a long breath, patted Kobayashi Nagamasa’s shoulder and said, “Thank you very much. Father is waiting for you, Kobayashi-kun. Go in and listen to my instructions.”

“Hi!” Kobayashi bowed, stood there and watched Miyashita Risaki leave, then sorted out his mood and expression, then turned and entered the ward, “Mayor.”

“Xiao Lin, it took you so long to come in because you were entangled by Li Zu, right?” Miyashita Guangke guessed it right.

“Hi!” Xiaolin Yongzhen responded, smiled bitterly and shook his head, “I have offended the young master this time.”

“He will understand you.” Miyashita Guangke shook his head indifferently, and then whispered with murderous intent in his eyes: “Find him and kill him.”

He failed in his attempt to kill his own son, which led to his son wanting to kill him in revenge for his mother. Of course, he couldn’t let anyone else know about this, otherwise how could he put his face aside? That’s why he didn’t allow Aoyama Hidenobu to investigate.

“Hey! It’s time for me to pay for the mistake I made many years ago.” Kobayashi Nagamasa solemnly promised.

On the other hand, Miyashita Toshiaki felt that he should share his father’s worries and deal with this bastard who might pose a threat to his father and the Miyashita family, so he called his secretary after leaving and instructed: “Go and investigate a man named Miyazaki Tei immediately. He should be 29 years old this year and has a mole on his left eyebrow.”
