As soon as he gave the order, the candidates under his command immediately nodded in agreement.

This time we must keep an eye on Chen Ming and investigate his every move.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. He naturally knew that Chen Ming's appearance would disrupt his plans.

But in order to make everything go smoothly and avoid any crisis in this auction, we must do everything absolutely.

A man in a suit, who was the mayor's secretary, had a hint of doubt on his face.

"Lord City Lord, isn't it a bit of an overreaction for us to mobilize such a large force to supervise an outsider?"

He didn't know Chen Ming's identity, but the auction was coming soon, so shouldn't he focus all his energy on the auction?

How can we spare more energy to look after an outsider?

Perhaps because his words were rather straightforward, the city lord sneered.

"This person is the target of attention of the people above. He was able to create such a big momentum in a short period of time. Do you still think he is simple?"

The reason why he can sit firmly in this position is naturally because he has his own unique insights.

Not only did he obey the arrangements, he was also able to help the people in the Fusheng Association to gain money and connections.

"Why do you think those people arrested him?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of pleasure in his eyes.

The secretary was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he immediately got the answer.

"Is it because this person cut off everyone's source of income? Or is it because he wiped out that group of people?"

The secretary thought his guess was almost right, but unexpectedly the man in front of him shook his head, as if he didn't think he was right.

"You only saw the surface, but not the reality. It is true that his source of income was cut off, but isn't the more important thing because he discovered everyone's secret?"

People die for money and birds die for food. These people naturally take the initiative to attack for their own interests.

"Remember I told you this auction was unusual? That's because there are a bunch of peculiar things here."

These things are related to whether they can gain a foothold here. They finally held this auction, but the items were lost. Who can take such a big responsibility?

"There are some things you don't need to know completely, but you must do well what I tell you to do. Go ahead and do it."

The city lord was too lazy to explain, so he waved his hand and ordered his men to carry out the order.

Although the secretary only understood a few words, he also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he had to nod and agree.

After seeing him leave, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, otherwise I will have to bear the pain and get rid of you again."

The man sighed and looked at the secretary's receding back, feeling a little emotional.

The last person who knew so many secrets is already dead, and the grass on his grave is probably almost one meter high.

At this time, Chen Ming knew that he would definitely be discovered, but he did not expect to be supervised so soon.

I guess these people have ulterior motives.

He didn't bother to argue with these people, so he turned around and left silently.

After comforting Xi Muer, Chen Ming unexpectedly received a phone call.

Looking at the unfamiliar number, he couldn't help but feel confused, wondering who this person was.

Pursing his lips, his expression became a little solemn, but he still patiently answered the phone.

"Hello, I am the city lord's secretary. The city lord would like to invite you and your wife to a banquet tomorrow. Is that possible?"

The other party was very polite, but Chen Ming was a little confused. Why was he invited when he just arrived in a strange city?

"I'm not familiar with your city lord. Is there something wrong?"

Chen Ming frowned, fearing that it would be another Hongmen Banquet. What would he do if he brought Xi Muer with him and encountered any crisis?

He was not afraid of what these people would do to him, but he was afraid that these cruel hands would reach out to Xi Muer.

As if noticing that Chen Ming's attitude was somewhat agitated, the other party immediately expressed his attitude.

"Please don't misunderstand. Our city lord was also very moved after learning about your deeds and commended your spirit, so he specially asked me to invite you to come to the city lord's mansion for a small gathering tomorrow."

This immediately made Chen Ming a little confused, but he quickly dispelled his doubts.

Has his identity been leaked?

However, a small city lord would not dare to do anything to him, so he did not take the other party seriously, let alone be afraid.

"Okay, I know."

Stay calm, Chen Ming agreed.

By the next morning, although Xi Muer was still a little frightened, she seemed to have recovered a lot with Chen Ming's company.

Her mental state had improved a lot, but when she thought about what happened last night, she felt a little lost.

"Why are they so arrogant? Is it because they can do whatever they want here without restraint?"

Having never seen the dangers of the world, Xi Muer didn't understand these things.

At this time, Chen Ming could only sigh, knowing that this kind of thing would make her feel uncomfortable.

"It's all my fault for not protecting you. I will never let anyone hurt you again."

He felt extremely guilty. So what if he was extremely capable?

Isn't it that you can't even protect the people you love? You may even be hurt by others.

But at this moment, Xi Muer suddenly remembered the phone call she had received next to her, and she immediately became confused.

"Are we going out later? I heard you seem to have received a phone call."

Fearing that she would bring trouble to Chen Ming, Xi Muer returned to her previous sunny side, but Chen Ming felt even more distressed when he saw this scene.

Being his wife doesn't require you to be sensible, you just need to follow your heart and live the way you want.

But now Xi Muer was so thoughtful, even considering everything, which immediately made him feel extremely guilty.

"We are going to the City Lord's Mansion for dinner tonight. If you don't want to go, then we won't go."

He didn't have to go, but he was curious about the city lord's attitude towards him.

Being invited as soon as you arrive, anyone would think there is something else going on.

Seeing that Chen Ming was going to give up such a good opportunity for her, Xi Muer immediately shook her head.

"I'm fine. Yesterday was just a piece of cake. I believe you can protect me better in the future. Let's go."

Xi Muer licked her lips and felt her throat a little sore. Before she could say anything, Chen Ming immediately brought her a glass of water.

Seeing how considerate he was, Xi Muer felt even warmer in her heart.

After drinking a glass of water, Xi Muer asked about the whereabouts of her two senior sisters and inquired in detail about what happened yesterday. Only then did she know the truth of the matter.

"Then I doubt they will give up. After all, you have cut off their source of income. But will the two sisters come back?"

He didn't know whether his senior sister would come back, but Xi Muer knew very well that Chen Ming needed help.
