I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 327: It’s not about eating with someone, it’s about sleeping with them

Minister Hou's heart was in turmoil as he pondered the current terrifying situation.

He didn't want to know what the mysterious life and death talisman looked like for the time being. He only knew that the only thing he could do now was to find a way to survive this life-and-death moment.

If he accidentally provokes this mysterious figure and makes him dissatisfied, he will undoubtedly follow in Ding Zongshu's footsteps and end up with a miserable end.

When Minister Hou thought of Ding Zongshu's cold body that had not yet completely cooled down, he couldn't help but tremble all over. How could he dare to take the risk of gambling with his precious life?
He nodded hurriedly and said with great trepidation, "Mr. Shen, please rest assured! I, Hou, have been in the martial arts world for so many years, relying on the three words of credibility."

"Since I've already agreed to this, I will definitely do my best to achieve it, even if it means going through fire and water!"

While Minister Hou was speaking, deep in his heart, he was filled with deep resentment and anger towards Zhou Chaoxian.

He couldn't help but curse, "Fuck you! That damn Zhou Chaoxian actually got involved with such a ruthless character. No wonder he dared to speak so powerfully and fearlessly just now!"

Thinking about it now, I am really scared.

Right now, it seems that there is only one way for Minister Hou to go, and that is to fully assist Zhou Chaoxian in winning the election.

In this way, perhaps you can avoid being implicated and losing your life.

Just as Minister Hou was secretly calculating in his mind, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Shen Lang's face.

This should have been a smile as warm and gentle as the spring breeze, but in the eyes of Minister Hou and Zhou Chaoxian, it was so eerie and terrifying.

It was like the hideous smile of a demon from the abyss of hell, which was chilling.

"How are you going to explain Ding Zongshu's death to the mysterious boss behind the scenes?" Shen Lang asked again, with a hint of teasing and threat in his tone.

Minister Hou's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface.

His eyes moved rapidly, his brain thinking quickly about how to respond.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Well... actually, the matter is very simple. Ding Zongshu was dissatisfied with the results of this election and even made a ruthless attempt to assassinate me..."

His lies became smoother and smoother. "Fortunately, at the critical moment, Mr. Shen stepped forward and intervened in time to stop his crazy and brutal behavior. Therefore, Ding Zongshu completely deserved the punishment he received and deserved to die!"

After hearing this, Shen Lang couldn't help but laugh.

He responded with a hint of sarcasm, "I really have to admire you officials, Minister Hou! Look at your mouth, you lie as naturally and smoothly as flowing water, without even blinking."

After a slight pause, the smile on Shen Lang's face suddenly disappeared.

He put on a serious expression and continued, "I'll do as you say. I'd like to visit your house tonight and see your wife's elegance. You can arrange the specific time yourself."

Shen Lang threw down a piece of paper and said, "Here's my contact information. Once everything is ready, just give me a call and I'll personally take care of it. Remember to ask your wife to dress nicely."

After saying these words, Shen Lang's figure shook slightly, and in an instant he disappeared without a trace in front of Zhou Chaoxian and Minister Hou like a ghost.

Looking at the empty space where Shen Lang had just stood, Minister Hou and Zhou Chaoxian stood there in a daze, as if they were under a spell, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Both of them stared with eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief, their mouths slightly open, but no sound came out.

Just like that, they were stunned for a long time before they slowly came back to their senses as if waking from a dream.

They swallowed hard, and their eyes all turned to the lifeless and cold body of Ding Zongshu lying on the ground.

The tragic scene was shocking, as if reminding them that what had just happened was not an illusion, but a fact that was so real that it was horrifying.

Despite this, the two still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, hoping that this was just a terrible nightmare and that they would be able to return to normal as long as they opened their eyes.

However, reality is cruel after all. After opening their eyes, the cold corpse ruthlessly shattered their last fantasy.

Minister Hou's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks and soaked his collar.

He wiped the sweat with a towel and looked around with his eyes rolling.

When Minister Hou was sure that Shen Lang was not in sight, his expression instantly turned gloomy.

He looked at Zhou Chaoxian with a forced smile and said in a sarcastic tone, "Zhou Chaoxian, I never thought that you could climb such a big tree. No wonder you have been so confident and sure that you will win this time. It seems that you have really made it!" Faced with Minister Hou's sarcasm, Zhou Chaoxian felt mixed emotions.

He chuckled bitterly and replied calmly, "Minister Hou, you are too kind. I only have a slight acquaintance with Mr. Shen."

Because Zhou Chaoxian also has a lot of grievances now, but in order not to expose the true relationship between him and Shen Lang, he deliberately spoke vaguely.

In order to succeed in this election, he had put a lot of thought into it, even trying to arrange for Choi Miao-hyang to attend a reading club hosted by the minister's wife.

He had hoped to establish a good relationship with Mrs. Hou through Cui Miaoxiang and thus gain the support of Minister Hou.

But who would have thought that Cui Miaoxiang always made excuses and delayed this matter, not caring at all.

Who would have thought that after Cui Miaoxiang had only stayed at Shen Lang's place for a few days, she would suddenly have a 70% to 80% chance of winning the election, which originally had little chance of success.

Zhou Chaoxian couldn't help but sigh at the fickleness of fate. He really didn't know whether he should feel happy or sad at this moment.

This complex intertwined emotion made him at a loss for words for a moment.

Minister Hou quietly observed Zhou Chaoxian in front of him, secretly wondering what kind of connection Shen Lang had with him.

However, Zhou Chaoxian's seemingly calm and composed face made Minister Hou feel as if he was looking at flowers in the fog. For a moment, he was unable to know exactly what the true and specific relationship between the two was.

Minister Hou was already extremely upset at the moment and had no time to care about anything else.

After a brief pause, he spoke again, "Since Ding Zongshu is dead, you will take care of his body for me. In addition, you will take out tens of millions to run the business. As long as you can handle these things properly, I promise to help you win the election!"

When Zhou Chaoxian heard this, a barely perceptible cunning light flashed in his eyes.

Then he casually broached another topic: "I wonder what Minister Hou has planned for tonight's dinner? Is he seriously planning to have your wife accompany us personally?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like an extremely sharp dagger piercing Minister Hou's heart, making his face darken instantly and a strong feeling of displeasure surge in his heart.

For any normal man, letting others know that he has a green hat on his head is not a matter of honor to his family.

Minister Hou frowned and responded stiffly, "You'd better go and deal with Ding Zongshu's matter first. As for those questions that shouldn't be asked, you'd better shut up and stop talking!"

"Yes." Zhou Chaoxian stopped talking nonsense and even felt inexplicably refreshed.

Perhaps it was because Minister Hou was about to be cuckolded, and he felt extremely relieved when he saw that he was worse off than himself.

Ding Zongshu's body has been dealt with.

Minister Hou called Zhao Mudan again and said, suppressing his displeasure, "We have guests coming to dinner tonight. Remember to dress nicely."

Zhao Mudan was confused: "Who's coming to dinner? Your colleagues?"

"No, this is a very important guest," Minister Hou said in a heavy tone. "Anyway, if we don't treat you well tonight, both you and I might die."

"Ah? So serious?" Zhao Mudan was shocked and said hurriedly, "Okay, I understand. I promise to dress beautifully tonight and won't embarrass you."

Hearing this, Minister Hou felt uncomfortable again.

Because he was going to give his wife to someone else in exchange for his own life.

After another round of instructions, Minister Hou was still a little worried and drove back early to make arrangements.

He had his wife dressed up beautifully and ordered a table of delicious food from a nearby hotel.

Then he called Shen Lang.

"Mr. Shen, I have made all the arrangements. You can come and visit me. My address is..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mudan asked in confusion, "Who on earth do you want me to have dinner with?"

Minister Hou said in a bad tone: "It's not about accompanying people to eat, it's about accompanying people to sleep."
