After going down the mountain, the beautiful CEO chased me

At this time, Chen Ming just remained calm. He always felt that some things might not be as simple as he saw, but he had no evidence or clues, so he could only keep it in his heart for the time being.

No matter how sophisticated the means are, they will be exposed sooner or later.

But he was very curious about what purpose the city lord had in approaching him?

"If you're not feeling well, we won't go. This isn't an occasion that we have to go to, and I'm not very familiar with the city lord. There's no need to make ourselves uncomfortable just to please him."

With his strength, he naturally doesn't need to consider other people's feelings when doing things. It was these words that made Xi Muer feel a little guilty.

There was a hint of sadness in Xi Muer's eyes. She didn't want to control Chen Ming's development trajectory because of herself.

"Promise me you won't hold yourself back by thinking about me in the future."

There was anticipation in Xi Muer's eyes, but Chen Ming said nothing.

"Although there are some things I must do, I must also protect you."

Xi Muer didn't say anything at this moment, but her eyes were already red.

She felt that perhaps her greatest luck in life was meeting Chen Ming, but she also knew that Chen Ming had his own pursuits and ideals, so she naturally could not become a stumbling block on his path.

The two of them made a simple gesture and decided to go to the City Lord's Mansion for the banquet.

At this time, the city lord had already prepared a sumptuous dinner and was waiting for the two to arrive.

Thinking about his plan, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"We must keep the news of our meeting tonight a secret and never let anyone else know."

He couldn't take risks easily, and he couldn't let the people above know that he met Chen Ming.

If you rashly reveal your purpose before achieving any results, you will be more likely to fall into someone else's trap.

The secretary nodded, and then heard footsteps outside.

He walked outside in person and saw Chen Ming and Xi Muer walking in gracefully, with an expression of surprise on his face.

I didn’t expect that he is even more handsome in person than in the photo, but his behavior is like that of a terrorist.

Just looking at this man's appearance, he didn't think there was anything scary about him, but for a moment he couldn't help but feel frightened.

Feeling the other party's passionate gaze, Chen Ming turned his head slightly to look at the secretary. At this time, the secretary immediately shifted his gaze, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Our city lord has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."

Seeing that the other party was very polite, Xi Muer said nothing.

Chen Ming quietly took Xi Muer to attend the banquet tonight. The two walked inside together and realized that there were only two of them here, and there was no third party.

This behavior is very suspicious. I don’t know what the other party is up to.

When the two of them sat down, the city lord came slowly over in a red robe.

Although he is middle-aged, he exudes a peculiar aura, which makes people feel his unique vitality, which does not seem like that of a person of this age.

"Seeing is believing. Today I finally got to meet Mr. Chen. He is indeed more handsome than I imagined. Is this Mrs. Chen?"

He smiled flatteringly. Chen Ming just felt that the other party was very weird, but did not say anything.

Xi Muer looked at the other person calmly with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't know what the other person's purpose was in saying that, but his intention to please was too obvious.

"When we met before, I heard about Mr. Chen's deeds. He is indeed a great hero who defends his country. I have always wanted to meet you, but I never had the chance. Now I have the chance. Seeing is believing."

He appeared extremely happy, but Chen Ming, who saw this, did not take it to heart.

Only poisonous snakes that bite people will spit apricots and say interesting things.

Chen Ming did not take the other party's flattery to heart. He knew what level he was and that the other party was a smiling tiger.

Even if you know the other person has ulterior motives upon first contact, there is no need to say anything more as long as there is no actual harm.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Lord. I wonder what you want me and my wife to do for you tonight?"

He wanted to know the other party's thoughts clearly, and when the city lord saw that Chen Ming was so distant towards him, he immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Mr. Chen, you misunderstood. I don't have any instructions. I just want to make friends with you. After all, you are here for the auction."

Chatting with smart people is a pleasure, and they quickly got to the point. At this moment, Chen Ming also knew that the reason he was looking for him should have a lot to do with the auction.

But he didn't know what the other party was up to, and always felt that he seemed to have his own plans.

"This dish has been prepared for a long time. Let's eat some first. The dishes here are very rich. If they get cold in a while, they will not taste good."

He took the initiative to invite the two to eat, but neither of them picked up their chopsticks. He immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that they were afraid that the food was poisonous.

So the city lord took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a few dishes, and ate them as if demonstrating.

Seeing that he was eating with gusto, Chen Ming thought for a moment and felt that he would not do anything in such an occasion. Moreover, he must have some unspeakable secret by coming to him so rashly. How could he think of doing anything to him?

Several of the dishes were local specialties. Chen Ming took the initiative to pick up some food for Xi Muer, and Xi Muer kept tasting the dishes. They tasted really good.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Lord. I just wonder what exactly does the Lord want to discuss with my wife and me this time?"

Chen Ming still maintained a polite attitude, but found that the other party's target seemed to be only him, and the reason why he brought Xi Muer with him was to make him compromise.

After eating a few bites of food, the city lord sighed, as if he was in great trouble.

"There's no one else here, so I'll be frank. I know you came here to attend the auction, but the auction is now controlled by a very evil organization. I hope you can join hands with me to drive this organization out and make the whole city clear."

This immediately made Chen Ming even more surprised. The other party actually came to him for help. He couldn't believe it no matter how he said it.

"Oh? I wonder what the city lord thinks?"

He was also very curious about what this evil organization was. Could it be the Fusheng Association left over from the previous empire?

The previous crackdowns had already made this group of people disappear, so how could they possibly appear openly?

It seems there is something else going on.
