A beautiful, shapely woman beside them asked, "Sir, should we pursue them?"
The man exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "You go follow that man. Make sure he doesn't discover you."
The woman responded, got out of the car, and after a few steps, quickly caught up to the man.
Xiao Chenyi sensed someone behind him and quickened his pace.
He hadn't expected them to relentlessly pursue him.
"Sir, please stop. I have something to say."
The woman decided against using other methods and got straight to the point.
Xiao Chenyi turned back, his eyes widening slightly.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, precisely his type.
Not long after, the two headed towards the hotel.
After the spring climax.
The woman believed she had successfully captured this man.
Little did she expect...
Xiao Chenyi made a phone call, summoning another woman.
Xiao Chenyi asked that woman to join them as well.
The woman agreed.
But she hadn't anticipated...
When she woke up,
Xiao Chenyi had already disappeared. She dared not make a sound.
She could only bear everything silently.
Her gaze fell upon the bed. A corpse lay there. She knew the face too well.
"You slut!"
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a man stormed into the room in a rage. He looked at the corpse on the bed, filled with utter hatred.
"Boss Chen!" The woman quickly dressed and jumped out of bed.
Boss Chen snorted, "You actually betrayed me. You deserve to die!"
"Do you know what happens to those who dare betray the boss!"
"Boss Chen, I didn't mean to. I just..."
"Xiao Chenyi, he's just a fickle playboy. He discards you after he's done."
Boss Chen didn't give the woman a chance to explain. He took out his phone and dialed a number, which was quickly answered.
"Hello, who is it?" a deep voice boomed.
Hearing this voice, the woman trembled all over, her face turning pale.
"Boss, this slut followed me to the hotel. Xiao Chenyi, that brat, slept with her for a night and then ran off!"
"And there's a dead girl at the scene."
Boss Chen's voice dripped with killing intent.
The person on the other end snorted, their voice calm, "Finish it. Leave no trace."
"Yes, boss!"
The woman was quickly dragged away, along with the corpse on the hotel bed, which was also secretly transported out.
Everything was done without anyone noticing.
But that was only what Old Chen and the woman believed.
The next day.
Yu Tongming, furious about this matter, experienced a surge in blood pressure and almost missed the election.
"Useless, a bunch of useless people!"
Unable to win the election and in a state of extreme dejection, Yu Tongming blamed Old Chen and the woman for everything.
He looked at the two bruised and battered individuals before him and spat viciously!
"Zhou Xuan has already met Xiao Chenyi and is even close with Xiao Wushuang. Not only were you slow to react, but you also botched the job."
Yu Tongming cracked his knuckles, the popping sound making the two kneeling on the ground tremble.
"Boss, I really didn't know Xiao Chenyi was so cunning."
"Yes, boss, we truly didn't mean to."
The two kept kowtowing.
Yu Tongming, enraged, kicked each of them again.
From the moment Zhou Xuan left the Yu family villa, he had already sent people to monitor his every move.
He hadn't expected this scoundrel to play both sides.
If he hadn't been careful, he would have been truly deceived by this fellow.
Now, knowing Zhou Xuan was so close to Xiao Wushuang, and coupled with his own defeat, there was no longer any possibility for further advancement.
His age was a factor; he couldn't compete with Xiao Chenyi.
He hadn't expected this fellow to truly interfere.
He wasn't acting against Zhou Xuan now because he hadn't found proof that Zhou Xuan had caused his loss.
Now he could only remain in his current position, with countless eyes watching him.
He couldn't understand Zhou Xuan's actions.
If he intended to switch allegiance, why did he heal him?
Meanwhile, on Zhou Xuan's side.
Xiao Wushuang said with great concern, "Yu Tongming might already suspect you."
"Don't worry, Grandfather. I'm not afraid of him. He's in no position to help himself now."
Xiao Chenyi lived up to expectations, being voted into the highest position in the command department.
"Don't worry, I will be holding a banquet soon to announce our relationship."
Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "From the moment Yu Tongming was injured by the Shattered Pulse Palm, I knew he had offended someone extraordinary."
"Even without you and Xiao Chenyi, those people would have deprived him of this opportunity," Xiao Wushuang mused, stroking his chin.
"I heard the Hao Hai Immortal Sect intervened?"
"Yes, he offended someone significant, an elder of the Hao Hai Immortal Sect."
"Now even the Hao Hai Immortal Sect can interfere in these selection processes?"
"What's so strange about that? The highest command department is full of talented individuals with complex relationships. Yu Tongming is not a pleasant person; he's arrogant and conceited, and he doesn't know how to win people over. His brute-force approach is no longer effective."
"It's still Chenyi. This child of mine, he doesn't listen even when I tell him. He's fine with major matters, but his personal life... alas."
Xiao Wushuang was quite helpless.
Xiao Chenyi raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Uncle, no, Master, why would you say that? It embarrasses me. Zhou Xuan will laugh at me."
"Pah, we're all family, what's there to fear? You, be careful you don't fall for a woman."
"I won't. I pass through a hundred flowers, but not a single petal touches me."
Xiao Chenyi smiled dashingly, revealing a defiant grin.
Zhou Xuan had no right to comment on others' private lives.
He was concerned if Xiao Chenyi could truly control himself with women.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chenyi said, "Does Yu Tongming really think I can't see those little tricks?"
"If something is delivered, why not use it? Alright, Master, don't worry. In any case, I've been elected now, and these women are in the past."
Xiao Chenyi was somewhat peculiar. Although he appeared to be a playboy, he was actually a master strategist.
Last time, when that Old Chen brought people to try and corner him, they even wanted to capture evidence of his chaotic private life.
Little did they know, he had already found an alternative route, quietly gathering other evidence against Yu Tongming elsewhere, and submitting it all, which naturally blocked Yu Tongming's path.
Although the final decision on Yu Tongming's punishment had not yet been made.
It was not far off.
The Hao Hai Immortal Sect was not to be offended.
Disciples of this sect were everywhere, even within the command department.
Now, building a good relationship with them, the first step would be to make an example of Yu Tongming, someone completely unpopular, and remove him.
The next day.
Zhou Xuan, with Lu Ling'er, prepared to go to the Xiao family.
Unexpectedly, while buying gifts to meet his maternal grandfather, he ran into Yu Tongming and Qin Huaiyu on the road.
Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seemed Yu Tongming had come to his senses this time and partnered with the Qin family.
As Zhou Xuan was his savior, Yu Tongming couldn't make a move directly.
He could only resort to insidious tactics.
On the surface, he still walked over with great enthusiasm.
"Master Zhou, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Mr. Yu, we are indeed fated to meet."
"Alas, if I may say, Master Zhou and I are fated but not destined. Congratulations, you made the right choice."
His words were laced with sourness and gnashing of teeth.
