Chapter 1061 - 1032: A Rival in Love Appears

"Mu Yun, we’ll handle this matter, you can rest easy!"

"Thank you, my two elder brothers, Mu Yun is deeply grateful."

As Hua Muyun boarded the special car heading to the military region’s rehabilitation center, a baffling incident was occurring simultaneously at the police station in Sicilian Palermo!

The person who was supposed to smoothly take charge was suddenly replaced at the last moment! Moro remained in the hospital for further observation due to the explosion, and the position of police chief couldn’t remain vacant. Surprisingly, Deputy Chief Meisai declined the appointment and recommended Captain Edmund for the interim position. Even more astonishing, the higher-ups agreed to this suggestion.

Strange things happen every day, but today, they are especially numerous!

As the police station issued its orders, a stunning woman arrived at the Palermo mayor’s office — to be precise, two different women came one after the other, with just a two-hour gap between them. Whether our mayor was fortunate or overwhelmed with opportunities is uncertain, but both beauties completed their interviews within half an hour. Yet, as they left one after the other, the mayor’s complexion changed dramatically from pale to flushed, with his moods swinging unpredictably; even his secretary couldn’t pinpoint the reason!

Two city government cars drove away in opposite directions, even with the two-hour gap, it didn’t affect the chance encounter of the silhouettes of these two women.

Murong Lengyue, upon getting into the car, suddenly remembered something. She hurriedly stepped out again, bid farewell to the mayor, and went to meet an old friend. There were still some final touches to be done regarding the Palermo ocean development project, which could have been handled by her subordinates, but she took the chance to attend to it personally while visiting the mayor. She was indeed an excellent boss.

Missing the opportunity, the only trace left in Murong’s field of vision was a silhouette in the exhaust fumes, which, albeit just a silhouette, was vividly clear in her mind!

"Miss, is there a problem?" Young Master Wu noticed Murong Lengyue’s odd behavior and quickly set up defenses around her.

"You’re too tense!" Murong Lengyue sneered, having merely spotted an unlikely silhouette. "Go check who the mayor received after me."

"Yes!" Young Master Wu had already entered the city government, while Murong Lengyue sat back in her car, awaiting Young Master Wu’s news.

If it was her! The thought suddenly flashed through Murong Lengyue’s mind, furrowing her fine brows slightly. If it was her, then his opportunity might change, leading to...

Young Master Wu’s speed was unusually swift; he slipped back into the car before Murong Lengyue had fully processed her thoughts. Awkwardly fidgeting without knowing how to initiate the conversation, he inadvertently confirmed Murong Lengyue’s suspicion. "Is it Xia Xue?"

"Miss, how did you know?" It was now Young Master Wu’s turn to be astonished, his face frozen in disbelief. Knowing the woman was Xia Xue, he was also quite surprised. She was comfortably settled in Yanjing, why suddenly rush to Sicily, especially concerning Sin City?

"I just felt the silhouette was very familiar!" Murong Lengyue sighed, not realizing she would encounter her so-called rival under such circumstances! "Why is she here?"

"Well..."

"Stop mumbling, does it relate to me?" Murong Lengyue disdainfully glanced at Young Master Wu, pondering whether to have Xiao Yue take this guy back for a proper lesson. His intuition seemed increasingly dull.

Ah! It seems her master is in quite a sour mood! Young Master Wu silently prayed in his heart. "It’s the same matter as yours, just the sequence differs slightly!"

"What do you mean?" The same matter would mean coming for Sin City. Did Xia Xue not already reject Xiao Lin? How did someone in Yanjing even know about Sicily and appear for the Sin City land acquisition? Xia Xue was a legitimate businessperson, not involved in the underworld.

"Someone informed Xia Xue about the mayor’s intention to release the Sin City land, and relayed Xiao Lin’s determination for this piece of land to her, while knowing ahead the mayor’s intention to sell the land to a respectable individual."

"Your implication is too indirect, what’s the issue? Just say we’ve got a mole among us!"

"If I were too direct, wouldn’t you be even more furious?" Young Master Wu argued, turning his lips despondently outward, earning him disdain. To outsiders, Murong Lengyue was every man’s goddess, but in reality... Ay Ay!

"Young Master Wu, if you curse me internally again, I’ll send you back to Xiao Yue; you won’t need to be a second-in-command anymore!" Murong Lengyue’s icy demeanor and frosty words sent a shiver down Young Master Wu’s spine, instantly putting an end to his internal complaints. "Does Xiao Lin know she’s here?"

"Xia Xue went directly to the city government straight off her flight, without checking into a hotel. She seems quite urgent!"

"Find where she’s staying, and also identify the person who relayed the message. I need to know who’s buying his intel. However, don’t touch the critical part; if someone wants to buy, I’ll sell — no harm in reciprocal trade!"

"Understood, but as for Sin City’s matter..."

"Let Xia Xue have it! She’s come all the way, it’s not easy. Besides, I haven’t found a suitable person for the task; nonetheless, the person orchestrating this shouldn’t be spared." Murong Lengyue’s pupils contracted, knowing those trying to manipulate the Murong Family wouldn’t easily succeed. So far, no one attempting such a scheme had met a favorable fate. "Where’s our next destination?"

"Ocean Survey Institute!"

"Let’s go!"

At the mayor’s office, the mayor was drafting related documents when he looked up to see the person he least wanted to. The pen nearly dropped onto the desk, staining the freshly completed paperwork.

"How did you get in here?"

"There’s no place a Magician wants to enter that anyone can stop him!" A pale face beneath the black hat, lips vivid and curled upwards forming a beautiful arc, he smiled, yet there was no joy in his expression. "Mayor, you seem frightened. Is it due to my previous intrusion leaving you with a sinful impression? My sincerest apologies for last time; circumstances forced me into it. Had you cooperated, I wouldn’t have revealed my nature."

"You, you, you... What do you want from me this time?" The mayor stuttered, his trembling lips unable to close properly.

"Ha ha, this time, I bring good tidings!" The Magician leapt off the study desk, leaving black feathers as dark as his soul to descend upon it. "These are in response to your heartfelt performance last time, and of course, there are directions for your next task." (To be continued.
