After going down the mountain, the beautiful CEO chased me

However, the city lord now took the initiative to extend an olive branch, which made Chen Ming even more suspicious.

He did not reveal his identity at the beginning, and even came here quietly.

Everything seems reasonable, but in fact there are big problems.

Chen Ming observed the city lord's every move calmly, and he also did some research before coming.

All we know is that this person has served as the city lord for more than 30 years, but there hasn't been much effect and he has always been mediocre.

"Although the local economy has been continuously developing since the auction began, their evil deeds have also affected the development of the entire city. This has also troubled me, so I am confused."

The city lord sighed deeply and described his relationship with this group of people.

"At first, as the city lord, I was guarding a piece of pure land, but I didn't expect that they were so powerful and used strong means to force me to provide them with convenience. They have been entrenched here for a long time and have harmed many innocent people, so I hope you can help me get rid of all these pests."

This immediately surprised Chen Ming. As the lord of a city, he actually had such concerns. He had been indifferent for more than 30 years in office.

"I may not be able to help you with the situation you described, but I came here only to buy some herbs to save people. As for other things, I can't do it."

Chen Ming still controlled his temper and acted extremely low-key.

He would not easily expose his strength and identity, nor would he let these people control his life.

Once these people knew my abilities, I wouldn't know how they would deal with me. Moreover, what the city lord said might not be true.

Rather than being blinded by others, it is better to find the truth diligently, so Chen Ming has his own plan.

As for other people who wanted to fight with him, they were overestimating their own abilities. However, the city lord treated them with courtesy, so he couldn't put it too bluntly and could only decline.

"I don't have any skills either. Please ask someone else for help on this matter."

He felt helpless when he saw Chen Ming reject him, but when he thought of Chen Ming's cautious character, he sighed.

Then he took out an invitation letter that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Chen Ming.

"In that case, I won't force you. If you really come here to buy medicinal herbs, you can take this invitation to the auction first. Maybe you can buy the herbs you want."

Seeing this, Chen Ming nodded slightly to show his gratitude.

The meal was over quickly and Chen Ming took Xi Muer back home. On the way back, he indeed noticed that someone was following them.

However, Chen Ming did not say anything, but pretended to be unaware of the situation and then took Xi Muer back to his residence.

The two did not light a fire or turn on the lights, but communicated silently in the dark.

"I guess they don't know what's going on here. Go back to the room first. I'll see if there's anyone else around."

Ever since Xi Muer was frightened by that bloody scene, Chen Ming would not act easily.

He also wanted to play games with this group of people and see who was behind the scenes.

But at this time he heard a noise coming from outside, and then he saw his two senior sisters returning.

"Don't worry too much. Zhuge will help us keep an eye on things. We came back to provide you with information."

On the way, Chen Ming informed his two senior sisters about the situation he was facing, and the two of them immediately mobilized all their connections to investigate.

After letting the two senior sisters in, the three of them immediately returned to the room they had just been in, and then the four of them gathered together.

Fortunately, there were small candles here, and after lighting them, we could just barely see each other's faces.

"Thanks to your trick of luring these people away, our journey was relatively smooth and we were able to send these herbs back very quickly."

Long before, Chen Ming suspected that these people might be targeting him, so he asked several senior sisters to secretly transfer these herbs away by luring the tiger away from the mountain, so as not to alert the enemy.

He then informed his senior sister about the situation he was facing, and asked the two of them to conduct a secret investigation.

"According to the information I have received so far, this city lord is not as simple as you think. He has indeed served here for more than 30 years, but this auction appeared not long after he took office. However, this auction was only small at the time for the convenience of the people. But later it became a large auction a few years ago, and it was very secretive."

That means that at first he might have been acting on behalf of the people, but later he became a lackey of these people due to greed.

This is enough to prove that he has been corrupted and even has a restless heart, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

"It's impossible for him to know your situation. If I'm not mistaken, he should be in cahoots with the people from Fu Sheng Society."

At this time, Chen Pingping also produced the basis for the investigation.

"All city lords will indeed have the opportunity to communicate, but your identity is kept secret. The city lord has not been exposed before. This city lord's surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Changtian. He has a secret that cannot be revealed."

As the intelligence from the two senior sisters was cross-summarized, Chen Ming learned that the current city lord Liu Changtian was once a bully in the village.

Born as a gangster, he was able to quickly become the city lord. It goes without saying what secrets were involved, but his methods were far more than that.

"He has always supported this kind of auction because he can take half of the profit from it. However, he has indeed been involved in auctions in recent years and has been secretly cooperating with them because it can not only stimulate local economic development, but also allow him to enrich himself."

People die for money and birds die for food. People who love money so much like him will naturally throw themselves into it.

So he wanted me to deal with this group of people in order to find out my background.

At this time, Song Jiang looked at the people outside and couldn't help but sigh.

"Some of those following us outside are his people, and some are probably from the auction. In addition, I saw two unfamiliar faces who probably don't belong to these two groups. There may be a third party."

At this time, Chen Ming was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would become a popular commodity and be supervised by three parties.

The fact that these three parties have been hiding in the background and have not shown up means that they have their own plans.

"Then our situation is very dangerous."

Xi Muer was a little frightened for a moment, fearing that Chen Ming would be drawn into the dangerous vortex again. After all, this group of people were highly skilled and had vicious intentions.

Thinking of the scene of the last fight, Xi Muer was still frightened, fearing that such a thing would happen again and she would not be able to bear it.
