The mayor took a deep breath and smiled,
"Alright, I will see you at the meeting."
Then he walked to his car and got in. However, he just started the engine but did not step on the accelerator or let the car move even an inch. After all, he did not know what the problem was. Most likely, the brakes had been cut and if the car started moving there was no stopping it. Everything he did was just for show. To avoid whoever tampered with the car relax and think that their plan succeeded.
After watching the deputy mayor's car drive out of the parking lot and join traffic on the main road, the mayor switched off the engine and got out of the car. He took out his phone and called his most trusted assistant. He knew that he could not just trust anyone now, but his assistant was different.
He had saved his life five years ago when he was surrounded by gangsters and almost beaten to death. The guy had gone gambling because it was the fastest way he knew to earn money for a surgery that his mother needed. He had lost the little money he had and almost went crazy causing chaos in the casino. After he was chased out, the casino manager had several gangsters teach him a lesson, but they did more than that, they almost killed him.
Mayor Yen had been meeting some officials in a nearby restaurant and had decided to take a walk after the meeting to clear his head. That was when he found Zhang Yun surrounded and almost in his last breath. He had disregarded his safety and ran up to beat up those gangsters. Luckily, the leader had recognized him and had his lackeys withdraw immediately.
The mayor had then taken Zhang Yun to the hospital, but the guy kept insisting on going to another hospital to see his mother. The mayor was moved by his filial piety. He was clearly so injured but he only cared about his mother. He had told him to recuperate at the hospital and not worry about his mother as her surgery would be taken care of. Only then did the guy cool down. However, after he got better and his mother was discharged from the hospital, he had gone to thank the mayor and even said he would die for him if there was a need.
The mayor had found that Zhang Yun was a university graduate with a management degree and had just completed his master's degree. His family was not well-off and had used all the money his parents earned for his education, which was why they could not afford the surgery fee when his mother got sick.
After a short interview, mayor Yen realized that the guy had unique insights and his thought process was very organized. So, he hired him as his special assistant on the spot. He was sure that Zhang Yun would never betray him.
In that case, he was the best person to call to handle the problem.
After hanging up the phone, the mayor could only wait for his special assistant as he could not call for another car in case it alerts the enemy. He did not even realize that he had already believed what Xia Weiwei had told him.
Xia Weiwei walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. She was a bit excited about her date with her dear husband. It was their first date after her rebirth and it meant a lot to her.
This was the beginning of an exciting romantic journey. She arrived at the top floor in a matter of minutes and a waiter greeted her.
"Hello miss, which room are you heading to?"
"Hello, room 888 please."
The waiter went into a daze for a couple of seconds before coming back to her senses. Room 888 was a special room. Not everyone had the ability to dine there. Most of the people who could book the room were either very important figures in the city or close friends of the big boss. She did not know which group today's guests were from, but she knew that she or anyone else in the restaurant could not afford to offend them.
Her attitude became even more respectful.
"This way please miss, I will lead you there." The waiter said as she lowered her head slightly and led Xia Weiwei towards the room at the end of the long hallway.
"We are here. Enjoy your dinner." The waiter said these words and left.
Xia Weiwei took a deep breath and smiled before pushing the door open and walking into the room.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Mo Shian looked over and stood up. He saw his wife walk in with a bright smile on her face. She was wearing a black dress with a lace material that started at her cleavage and was used as short sleeves since the dress was sleeveless. The satin material hugged her figure and ended above the knees. She looked so sexy.
Her face had light make up which brightened her features and made her look even more beautiful and a little more mature than her real age. She was a visual feast and it made him want to hide her so that no one else would see her beauty.
She was so beautiful and outstanding, what if someone else snatched her from him. He had to treat her better and make her fall so in love with him so that she could not see any other man or think of leaving him.
He had no idea that Xia Weiwei was the most desperate to make their relationship work. After experiencing the failure of their marriage in her previous life, she did not dare to gamble anymore. After all, how many lifetimes could a person have? She had already wasted one lifetime, she could not afford to waste another.
