Lan Ying finally understood why Elder Huo Jue had specially sent her here. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to carry out this task.

Although the organization had conferred the title of the second female killer to her, it was completely too pale in comparison to the number one, Ling Yue. The difference in strength between the two was too great.

After Shan Yue and Zhou Xuan left, Lan Ying immediately left the trash can and continued to follow. This time, she tried her best to distance herself from Shan Yue. After all, Shan Yue’s perception of danger was very terrifying. If she was not careful, she would be exposed.

When the two of them reached the corner of a street, Zhou Xuan suddenly said, “Shan Yue, do you know why Lang Nan tried to hide everything he did back then?”

“I know.” Shan Yue’s expression was very relaxed. “It’s just for the new provincial governor selection next year. Besides, he already had a very high vote rate online previously, so we naturally can’t let those things ruin his reputation.”

“That’s right. As you said, Lang Nan was a popular candidate for the new governor at the time.” Zhou Xuan was about to get to the point. “Actually, I had a chance to become a candidate at that time. With my prestige in the Federation’s Central City, I did have a chance to compete, but I gave up in the end.”

“Give up?” Shan Yue was very puzzled by this decision. It was the number one enterprise in the Federation City to begin with. If Zhou Xuan became the governor again, it would be very helpful to the Zhou family’s development.

“Why is that?” Shan Yue stopped in her tracks and looked at Zhou Xuan. “This is an unprecedented opportunity for the Zhou family and the Zhou Corporation. Isn’t it a pity to give up just like that?”

“It’s not a pity. Actually, the reason why I gave up is very simple.” Zhou Xuan did not regret this at all. Instead, he felt that he had made a very normal decision. He looked at Shan Yue and said with a gentle gaze, “I gave you the spot as the governor candidate.”

As soon as these words were spoken, even Shan Yue was subconsciously shocked.

“How did this happen? Does the Zhou family know about your decision?”

Shan Yue was very puzzled. She held Zhou Xuan’s hand and sat down in an armchair at the side of the road. She frowned and said, “If I’m not wrong, this spot of yours should have been obtained through the Zhou family’s connections. It was prepared by your father to further improve the Zhou family’s status.”

Seeing that Zhou Xuan was smiling without saying anything, Shan Yue continued, “But now that you’ve submitted my name as a candidate, what are you going to do? Your second and third uncles will use this as an excuse to attack you again. You’ve just returned to the position of the head of the family. You can’t give them another chance to push you to the eye of the storm.”

Seeing Shan Yue consider matters for him with an anxious expression, Zhou Xuan smiled even more gently, his heart filled with happiness.

“Don’t worry. The Zhou family didn’t fight for this opportunity for me. I got it myself, so no one in the family will blame me.”

Zhou Xuan explained, “I think you need this position more than me.”

Seeing that Shan Yue was so shocked that she could not speak, Zhou Xuan continued, “Although I don’t know what kind of people you’re facing, I know that if you have the identity of the governor, it will definitely be more convenient for you to do things now.”

It had to be said that what Zhou Xuan said made sense. If Shan Yue had the armed strength of the entire Federation City, after the two sides fell out, the organization might still be afraid of her identity and not dare to confront her head-on.

“But…” Shan Yue hesitated. She did not want Zhou Xuan to give up the opportunity that should have belonged to him for her. Back then, when she first met Zhou Xuan, he was clearly a dazzling figure like a prodigy. Now, he was willing to transfer all the light to her.

“No more buts. 1 already reported your name half a month ago. There’s no point in regretting it now.”

Before Shan Yue could finish speaking, Zhou Xuan interrupted her..
