Chapter 241 I've been appeased
Qi Yuan was surprised by the other party's action. Although he was somewhat shocked, he was more puzzled.
"Mr. Mayor, what are you doing?"
“Come with me, Mr. Qi Yuan,” he said.
Qi Yuan looked at his gun, about to say something more, when the other man quickly fired a shot at the ground in front of Qi Yuan, instantly creating a bullet hole in the hard ground.
"Mr. Qi Yuan, if you don't come with me, the next bullet will go into your head." The obese mayor of Gangdia's eyes revealed a fierce glint.
Seeing that he wasn't joking, Qi Yuan raised his hands and asked, "Which way do you want me to go?"
"The third car on your left is my car."
Qi Yuan turned to look at the car he was referring to.
He continued to urge, "Let's go!"
Qi Yuan didn't say anything more and walked to the car he had mentioned.
In his car, the driver was staring blankly at the other person.
"Mr. Wood, what's going on inside? It sounds so noisy."
The driver could only wait in the car for Mayor Wood of Gangdia to come out. The wait was boring, so he fell asleep in the car. He was woken up by a noise and looked puzzled.
"Go get a rope and tie his hands! This guy caused chaos at the banquet, I want to interrogate him myself!"
Upon hearing this, the driver got out of the car with a rope. He looked at Qi Yuan's luxurious attire and asked suspiciously, "Mr. Wood, what's he wearing..."
"Just tie me up, why are you talking so much nonsense?!"
The driver didn't dare ask any more questions and quickly tied Qi Yuan's hands together, finding that Qi Yuan was tightly bound.
Wood opened the car door, shoved Qi Yuan into the car, and then closed the door.
Just then, gunshots rang out from the car.
The incompetent driver collapsed to the ground with a thud, and Wood, his obese body, climbed into the car, sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away.
Qi Yuan sat up and looked through the car window at the dead driver.
He looked at Wood with icy eyes. "Mr. Mayor, what are you doing? Are you with Mr. Lane? Or with Darkfire?"
Qi Yuan actually suspected that the other party was more likely to be Ryan's man. Judging from the other party's fat head and big ears, he was obviously a guy who plundered the people and lined his own pockets, and it was impossible for him to join Darkfire.
“Mr. Qi Yuan, don’t worry, those two people are not him. Someone just told me that if he could bring you to him, you would belong to him.”
Thinking about what the other party had promised, the mayor of Gangdia grinned from ear to ear.
Upon seeing the other person's expression, Qi Yuan immediately thought of those guys in prison who harbored ill intentions towards him, and realized that this guy also had the same thoughts about him.
"Mr. Qi Yuan, you have no idea how much I like you!" Afraid that Qi Yuan didn't know, he said, "I was captivated by you the first time I saw you, and I wanted to have you all to myself. Although I later found out that you were a man, and Mr. Noah's male concubine, Mr. Noah has offended so many people, and he will definitely die soon. If you come with me, I will guarantee you a life of luxury."
Qi Yuan's gaze grew colder. "Live the good life with you? Does someone like you deserve it?"
"Mr. Qi Yuan, don't look down on others just because you once received Mr. Noah's favor. Let me tell you, there are so many people in this world. Don't wrong yourself. Try dating other people. I guarantee you'll fall for me... Uh! You—!"
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Yuan, who had suddenly stood up, used his bound hands to strangle him from behind.
Qi Yuan was truly ruthless when dealing with this kind of person who harbored ill intentions towards him, and he didn't let go even when the other person's face turned red.
His words led Qi Yuan to deduce that if he wasn't from Ryan's side or Darkfire's side, then he might be from Tang En's side.
Don was beaten up by him and Noah, and Dunlop didn't even avenge him. Given Don's personality, Qi Yuan had expected that the other party would retaliate, but he didn't expect that a mayor of Gangdia would have the courage to join forces with him.
But the mayor of Gangdia dared to join forces; perhaps his cerebellum has taken over his brain to be so bold.
Qi Yuan gripped his neck tightly, causing the car to swerve left and right before finally crashing into a lamppost and coming to a stop.
Qi was thrown forward violently by inertia, and immediately saw stars and warm blood flowed from his forehead.
It took Qi Yuan quite a while to wake up, while Mayor Gangdia had already died under his fierce attack.
Seeing that the man with ill intentions was no longer breathing, Qi Yuan returned to his original position, lay on his side, and kicked the car door hard, opening it with one kick.
He climbed out of the car, and the cold outside immediately calmed him down.
To make matters worse, just as he got out of the car, two cars with their headlights on blare flanked him from both sides.
Qi Yuan raised his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring light. Soon, several footsteps approached, and Xie Li's voice asked, "Mr. Qi Yuan, are you alright?"
Qi Yuan looked up at Xie Li, who was walking towards him step by step.
Several other people were standing next to Shirley.
He didn't speak.
Xie Li then said, "Mr. Qi Yuan, you are injured. We will take you to the hospital."
"Thank you for your help. Please untie the ropes binding my hands first."
"Ok."
Xie Li came over and helped Qi Yuan untie the ropes binding his hands.
After untying the ropes, Shelley helped him into the car.
Sitting in the car, Qi Yuan saw the man who came with Xie Li go to check on the person in their car. Soon the man returned and told Xie Li, "He is dead. He was the mayor of Gangdia."
"Let's drive. Let's take Mr. Qi Yuan to the hospital first."
As soon as Xie Li finished speaking, the car started again.
Qi Yuan leaned back in his chair, trying to relieve the pain in his head.
The carriage was quiet, and Xie Li didn't seem to intend to ask Qi Yuan too many questions.
Having recovered his composure, Qi Yuan slowly spoke: "Did you do what happened at the Red Rose Hotel?"
Sherley's expression changed.
Not hearing his reply, Qi Yuan continued, "Priest Sheri, we both know the truth. Pretending for too long is pointless. Why not just be frank?"
The two men driving in the front exchanged glances, then looked at Shelley.
Xie Li's face was no longer as gentle as before. He said, "Mr. Qi Yuan, I don't know what you're talking about?"
“Darkfire, Dawn, and Bluebird are allies, right? Nick should have already told you about my situation, so why pretend you don’t know? Let’s be frank, so we can continue our conversation.” Qi Yuan said with his eyes closed, without ever glancing at Sheri.
Xie Li was speechless for a moment after hearing Qi Yuan's words.
Qi Yuan continued, "You just need to tell me whether you were the ones who did what happened tonight?"
“No,” Shelley replied.
Upon hearing this answer, Qi Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xie Li.
Xie Li said, "It really wasn't us, Mr. Qi Yuan. Since you already know so much, you should know that we had no chance of breaking into tonight's banquet."
“But you went in.” Qi Yuan looked at him intently.
Sherley smiled slightly at Qi Yuan's gaze. "Nick told me you're a very smart person and warned me to be careful. But now I think you're a very assertive person, asking questions that left me speechless. It's true, tonight's banquet is the perfect opportunity for us to settle scores, but we lost many friends in the previous attacks, and tonight's banquet has the highest security. Even though it's a good opportunity, I won't let my brothers take any more risks. The only way I can get in is to poison the drinks they touch. Many people drank poisoned drinks tonight, but we really didn't use any other methods. So, the people throwing bombs and firing shots at the banquet weren't us."
Qi Yuan's gaze shifted. "What if I drank the wine you poisoned?"
"No, the four major families are very smart. They would never touch any of the food or drinks at such a banquet. The only ones who would touch them are those foolish officials."
Indeed, Qi Yuan and Noah didn't touch any food after entering the banquet hall; they just chatted with the group of people. Before it was time to eat, that series of events happened.
"What if I drink it?" Qi Yuan asked.
Sherley shook his head: "I will stop you, Mr. Qi Yuan. I think we can be friends, and Darkfire will not hurt a friend."
"The guy I killed didn't drink your wine?" Qi Yuan asked again.
Sherley nodded: "He arrived a little late and didn't have time to drink the wine I gave him. He only drank seven of the poisoned wines I gave him tonight, and he should be dead by now."
“But why did Mayor Gangdia arrest you?” Shelley asked.
Qi Yuan: "Would you believe me if I said he was attracted to my face?"
“I believe you.” Sherley nodded. “Mr. Qi Yuan, you are indeed handsome, and very attractive to those who are lustful.”
"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."
Perhaps knowing that Xie Li posed less of a threat to him than Mayor Gangdia, Qi Yuan's tense nerves relaxed, and he felt slightly tired.
“Mr. Qi Yuan, I have answered all your questions. Now I want to know what you will do to Darkfire?” Xie Li asked.
Qi Yuan looked at him and said, "I will not be your enemy. In fact, if you wish, I can help you achieve what you desire."
“Do you know what we want?” Shelley asked.
Qi Yuan said, "People can have enough to eat and warm clothes, and there will be less fighting and exploitation."
"Mr. Qi Yuan, these words are very simple, but do you know how difficult they are to put into practice?"
"It is difficult, but you should also know the influence of the Davis family in the North State. With his help, do you think we can't do it?"
Xie Li lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Mr. Qi Yuan, can you persuade Mr. Noah to change?"
"He's already changing the world, haven't you noticed? Look at what he's done since becoming head of the Davis family. How many things has he exploited the people of the North Continent, and how many things has he done for them? High Priest Sheri, we have plenty of time; enough time for you to understand what kind of person Noah Davis is."
Sherley smiled and said, "Mr. Qi Yuan, that night at the restaurant, I thought you disliked Mr. Noah."
"That would have been annoying, but he's very good at sweet-talking people, and I've already been won over."
