Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

After the homeless group scratched their heads in frustration, someone reminded Ootake Seiichi:

"Weren't you the guitarist in the school's heavy metal band in high school?"

"Oh, they stopped singing a long time ago."

The older man is getting shy.

Li Xinghe asked Da Yuecheng to sing a song on the spot, which was quite a challenge for the middle-aged gang leader in his forties or fifties. But the burdens of life forced the middle-aged man to sing a song:

I walk alone in the rain, with no direction in mind.

This is the 1989 rock song "Endless Rain," sung quite well with a nostalgic feel. While far from being a professional singer, it was enough for her to make her debut.

Li Xinghe felt it would work and continued with the arrangements:

“Not bad, if a solo performance isn’t enough, then let’s keep looking and put together a band.”

Soon, the street musicians assembled a bassist, drummer, assistant guitarist, and keyboardist. Although they were all bankrupt musicians, as Li Xinghe said, they put together a band to cover up their shortcomings.

Five people stood before him, and Li Xinghe clapped his hands in praise:

"Very good, go and become a monk."

"Huh? Becoming a monk?"

Da Huo never expected that he would be asked to become a monk as soon as he decided to join a band.

Li Xinghe immediately began his merciless attack and criticism:

"If you're a bankrupt yakuza boss and homeless gang leader who lacks both looks and education, do you think the public would support your candidacy for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government election if you didn't choose a nice robe?"

"Huh? The Tokyo gubernatorial election?"

Da Yuecheng and the bankrupt gangsters were completely bewildered by Li Xinghe's unpredictable thinking.

Although Seiichi Ōtake went to Dokdo and portrayed himself as a national hero, he needs someone behind him to continue to turn his fame into political resources.

After some explanation, they finally understood Li Xinghe's comprehensive plan.

Seiichi Oogawa stroked his pitiful hair:

"So, you want me and my brothers to form a monk band and run for governor of Tokyo?"

The Tokyo gubernatorial election has always been a place where some of Japan's most eccentric and bizarre individuals go crazy. Because the official broadcast is mandatory, anyone wanting fame comes here to pay registration fees and promote themselves. Li Xinghe, however, hopes that Ootake Seiichi and his team will go on the live broadcast to sing a song, then announce his political platform and campaign for votes.

Li Xinghe's explanation for crossing his legs:

"Yes. The 2028 National Conference on Religious Studies will be held soon by the Japan Science Conference under the Cabinet Office, an affiliated institution of this department, the Japan Society for Religious Studies. Take advantage of this time, you will transform yourselves into a monk rock band as heroes who defend the country's territory, as bankrupt yakuza and homeless people, release your first album, and then announce your candidacy for the Tokyo gubernatorial election, to bring songs, love and peace to Tokyo."

Upon hearing Li Xinghe's detailed plan, Da Yuecheng and the others fell silent:

"But...we have nothing."

Although the plan was good, they didn't know anything about it, not even how to use a ride-hailing service.

Li Xinghe snapped his fingers at my wife, Jinghua:

"Please introduce me to them."

To boost the group's confidence, Kyoka Azuma coughed, revealing the haughty expression of a yakuza boss looking down on her lowly subordinates, and reintroduced Li Xinghe:

“My master is not only a colonel general in the U.S. Army stationed in Japan, and not only a cabinet official who frequently visits the Cabinet Office, but also a clan priest of the Shinto Political Alliance. He has two priest families, a family-run Shinto shrine, and a Buddhist temple. He can introduce you to become monks and train at Daibutsuji Temple in Tokyo. He can also introduce you to members of the Shinto Political Alliance.”

The homeless people were horrified:

"Oh!"

This...this is such a dazzling 24K pure gold mansion!

It's absolutely blinding!

My wife, Kyoka, continues to shatter these people's values:

"At the same time, he is a sponsor of two local democratic parties in Tokyo, one of the behind-the-scenes shareholders of Fuji Television, has liaison channels with the Kanto yakuza Sumiyoshi Association, and can speak by phone with the National Loan Shark Alliance at any time."

Of course, Kyoka Azuma didn't mention that the relationship between the Sumiyoshi-kai and Li Xinghe mainly relied on the Azuma Group as an intermediary, and that the National Loan Sharking Alliance was formed because she actively joined it, attracting the attention of the national loan sharking business. However, the operation of Azuma's loan sharking company also relied on the funds and connections provided by Li Xinghe to gain access to the loan sharking alliance.

So theoretically, Kyoka Azuma was right.

Seeing that many homeless people had been persuaded, Li Xinghe nodded and said:

"Now think about your background. The Sumiyoshi-kai yakuza in Kanto will sponsor and support you, right? That way you'll have the yakuza's votes. After you become monks, monks don't have political allies, so you can go and join my Shinsei-ren. I'll personally introduce you to the Shinsei-ren's chairman, Fumihiro Uchida, and that way you'll have the support of a religious organization. The Sumiyoshi-kai will also introduce you to the financiers of the National Loan Shark Alliance. These loan sharks will sponsor your elections, and you'll have the money and the people to build your team."

Li Xinghe had originally planned to have the fake ice queen, Xian Zi, equip them with an election team, but after careful consideration, he canceled the plan. These 50-year-old bankrupt homeless men are better off spouting outrageous nonsense to attract viewers.

Ōgaku Seiichi and the others were overjoyed:

"So...we can become the Governor of Tokyo?"

Just as the homeless were looking forward to being elected governor of Tokyo, becoming the kingpin of Tokyo's underworld and enjoying the ride, transforming their neighborhoods into upscale homeless shelters, Li Xinghe poured cold water on their hopes:

"You definitely won't be elected; in fact, you don't have the qualifications. But you can force Yuriko Koike to give you huge concessions in terms of profit sharing, such as appointing you as officials or advisors in a certain department, letting you represent the homeless in Tokyo, controlling a department or committee, having money and social status, being able to sing songs like monks, appearing on TV to boast, and collecting attendance fees whenever there are elections for members of parliament or parties in Tokyo..."

Li Xinghe's strategy of cultivating these national heroes in the eyes of the Japanese to run for office was to nurture them like venomous insects. They didn't have to be elected, but they had to become influential figures in the opposition.

Under Li Xinghe's combination of persuasion and sweet talk, Da Yuecheng and his gang of bankrupt homeless people couldn't help but shed tears.

Good heavens, my luck has finally turned around, and I can turn things around.

Although he could no longer be near women and no longer had the freedom of being a homeless person, he gained fame, fortune, status, and dignity.

Seiichi Ohtake, unable to stop his tears, hugged his bankrupt companion tightly:

"Let's become monks together and form a band for life!"

"By the way, what's the band's name?"

The homeless people tried very hard to think, but their abilities were still insufficient.

So in the end, they named it after the 1989 hit song "Endless Rain" sung by Seiichi Ohtake.

"We'll call ourselves Endless."

night.

Exhausted, Li Xinghe opened the door to find Ping Yingmei, dressed in Li Xinghe's "China" tracksuit, coaxing Xiaoyang Xiangkui on the balcony. Meanwhile, Xiaokui's mother, Sasaki Toya, and another mother, Fuji Hinako, were glaring at each other and energetically fighting on the sofa.

"What are you doing?"

"hug."

When Li Xinghe returned home, he tried to stop the two rascals. As soon as Du Ye saw Li Xinghe come back, he hugged him tightly and even turned around to provoke Hinako. However, Hinako grabbed his butt and rode on top of him, showing her little white teeth and dominating him: "I am the daddy."

It turns out the two of them spent the whole afternoon arguing over who Xiaokui should call "Dad".

Without hesitation, Li Xinghe also knocked down Hinako-nee:

"I'm the father! And Xiao Kui isn't even a month old yet; it will take at least a year before she can start speaking."

"That's right."

Both women were stunned. This was a case of one woman being pregnant, both women acting foolishly, and both suffering from mental impairment for three years.

It feels like their mental development is also declining.

The transformation was truly exhausting for Li Xinghe, both physically and mentally.

Of course, there are more troubles at home than that, which is why only Hirae Mi, driven by maternal instincts, is taking care of the child.

Maria was lying in the live broadcast room when she saw Lee Sung-ha come in. She reached out for a hug, and after the hug, she started faking it, refusing to leave without kissing, rubbing, and hugging him. After successfully becoming a city councilor, she suddenly went from a female college student to a female professor, attending meetings and busy reviewing documents every day, which was quite tiring.

Rie Fujiwara went even further. After cornering Li Xinghe in the restroom, she insisted on checking if he had been injured since his trip to Korea. She examined him thoroughly, turning him over and over, and once she was sure he was alright, she patted him and said, "Very good, very energetic. Good luck!"

Seeing Xiaokui's stroller probably triggered some inner demons within me.

That being said, getting pregnant is not something that can be accomplished overnight, especially since the family's land is barren.

Because of the chaos at home, Li Xinghe followed Ping Yingmei through the corridor to her house, slipped her under her sportswear from behind, and patted and squeezed the navel below the word "China": "Xiao Kui, thank you for your trouble."

Ping Yingmei rolled her eyes gently and good-naturedly: "Yeah, when someone comes back, all they remember to do is pinch the baby, they don't really take care of the child."

"I'm here to help; I'll cook."

Li Xinghe immediately offered to help with the cooking.

While preparing dinner in the kitchen next door, Niizawa Taifeng, dressed in a pristine white nightgown, hugged Li Xinghe tightly from behind, gently massaging his waist, and quietly confided in him:

"Dad, I'll tell you a secret. How are you going to reward me?"

This girl seems to have started openly competing with my wife for position ever since she came back from Busan after pretending to be my daughter.

Li Xinghe was chopping vegetables, his heel brushing against Taifeng's white ice cream:

"explain."

“There’s a deleted email on Mom’s phone. It was sent by Grandpa Tsuchiya from Hokkaido. He wanted to meet Mom, but she didn’t want to see him, so she deleted it. But the meeting place is in Tokyo.”

"Oh?"

Li Xinghe raised his head.

Tsuchiya Akira returned to Tokyo, and according to the ban, he had already violated the punishment he was given.

According to Li Xinghe's own prediction, as the competition between Koizumi Shinjiro and the Diet deepened and everyone anticipated Koizumi's impending downfall, various parties began to reorganize their strategies. Tsuchiya Akira, whom Li Xinghe had previously demoted and sent to Hokkaido, was now trying to climb back into Tokyo. This old man was a seasoned intelligence agent; using his connections to defect to the opposition wouldn't be a problem for him.

But even if he comes back, so what?

Li Xinghe turned around and squatted down in the corner of the kitchen, whispering to Tai Feng:

"What should I do if Grandpa causes trouble for Dad?"

In this amazing family, the grandfather's surname is Tsuchiya, the mother's surname is Hira, the daughter's surname is Shinze, and the husband has three other surnames, each with their own unique skills.

Shinze Taifeng's eyes lit up, and she immediately came up with an idea. She whispered in Li Xinghe's ear:

"Get Mom pregnant! That old man won't be able to do anything to you then."

This is Tsuchiya Akane's weakness. As long as Hirai's belly also swells up, even if Tsuchiya Akane wants to cause trouble for Li Xinghe, he can only hold back.

This girl is quite smart.

Seeing that Li Xinghe was still thinking, Xinze Taifeng suddenly blushed and shyly hugged Li Xinghe's arm tightly:

"If all else fails, I... I can come in person. He definitely won't dare to be angry with me."

Seeing Tai Feng suddenly become shy, Li Xinghe ruthlessly refused:

"No, there's the Los Angeles Olympics this year. As long as the wildfires don't burn Los Angeles to ashes, you have to go to Los Angeles to participate in the Olympic shooting competition."

Little brat, trying to skip class?

As for whether this year's wildfires will turn Los Angeles to ashes, who knows?

Biden also promised that the government would cover 100% of the losses from disaster-related home repairs, but in the end, it only benefited the Democratic Party's major donors, and then nothing more was said.

Niizawa Tao continued to roll her eyes, racing against Azuma Ai at breakneck speed:

"So that means it'll be fine after the Olympics? I can postpone going to university for a year and stay home to prepare for pregnancy. A healthy and beautiful girl like me will definitely have no trouble getting pregnant."

Li Xinghe simply got up to continue preparing the meal, but Tai Feng hurriedly stopped him:

"Dad, no! You can't leave. You still owe me a reward."

"What do you want?"

Just as she was wondering, Shinsawa Taiho gently pulled up her pajamas, the soft fabric lifting to reveal a pair of incredibly delicate breasts. Then she pulled down her white lace-covered bra, revealing her rosy nipples.

How... how delicate is this high school girl!?

Shinze Taifeng whispered:

"I want Daddy to suck me like Xiaokui sucks on Du Ye's mom... like that."

Li Xinghe squatted down, made Xinze Taifeng stand up straight, gently bit Taifeng's red bean, and sucked it slightly, of course without producing any milk.

Living in a dysfunctional and abnormal family with a schizophrenic mother, Niizawa Taiho's face suddenly glowed with maternal warmth. Her face flushed, she hugged Li Xinghe's head tightly, as if she were really holding a doll, making Li Xinghe feel her determination to have a normal family.

He spent a full 40 minutes cooking in the kitchen, and 10 minutes sucking on Nana's nipples, until Shinsawa Taifu could no longer stand. Only then did Li Xinghe reluctantly let go.

After preparing the dishes, Xinze Taifeng escorted Li Xinghe to the entrance of the corridor between the two houses.
