"Xiu Xin, could you give me a rough idea of your girlfriend's family?" Mr. Aoyama asked while driving. "I don't even know her name right now; it wouldn't be good to be completely in the dark later."
Aoyama Haruko sat in the front passenger seat.
Aoyama Xiu Xin sat alone in the back seat.
"My girlfriend's name is Asai Ayumi. Her father is Asai Youki, and her brother is Asai Zexi..."
"Hold on!" Aoyama Sosuke suddenly interrupted Xiu Xin, casually asking, "Are they related to that police family named Asai?"
Though he was not very familiar with the judicial world, being in politics, he had heard of the Asakai family, a clan with considerable influence in the judicial circle.
"They are the ones," Xiu Xin answered.
"Oh..." Aoyama Sosuke instinctively nodded, but then his eyes widened drastically, and he slammed on the brakes, turning to stare at Xiu Xin incredulously, "What did you just say?"
