Chapter 1499: Chapter 448: [Correct Answer!]_4

"Laughing at how foolish you are," the Mayor’s Wife shook her head, "Have you always thought that when you met me, you were like a hero, saving me from the quagmire?

A great hero rescuing a helpless, beautiful young girl, then marrying her and giving her a luxurious life?

That’s what you’ve always thought, right?"

"What else?" The Mayor frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head, "Impossible, it can’t all be a calculated plan.

I met you eight years ago, eight years ago you were... only fourteen? Fifteen?

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, scheming to marry me, and then... planning to betray and kill me eight years later? It’s impossible!

Besides, even if I like something fresh, these years with you, I’ve treated you well... I’ve let you make a lot of money. The hotel in the city, I also tacitly allowed you to open it!

You have also saved a lot of money in your European bank account."

The Mayor’s Wife laughed, "That’s because I needed the money...

No, that’s not accurate to say.

To be accurate, it’s ’we’ who needed the money!"

"We?" The Mayor’s eyes flickered, "We??"

"We!" The Mayor’s Wife sighed, "Actually, at first it wasn’t about killing you, it was just about planting a spike beside you, the newly arrived Mayor of Gusanka City.

A pair of eyes, a pair of ears.

To monitor up close, observe, and know what you are doing.

This is a long-term plan."

As she spoke, the beautiful Mayor’s Wife gave a charming laugh, "Don’t look at me like that, it’s a long-term plan, not targeted solely at you—in fact, historically, we have done this to every ruler who comes to Gusanka. It’s just that this time they selected me to be the eyes and ears by your side."

The Mayor’s body swayed slightly—for the first time, he was truly afraid!

"So, you weren’t betraying me, colluding with them...

You, you’ve been theirs from the very beginning?!"

"Correct answer, my dear husband."

The Mayor’s Wife gave a sweet smile.

"Why wait so many years? You’ve been by my side; if you wanted to kill me, surely there would’ve been plenty of opportunities over the years."

The Mayor’s Wife sighed, "Because at first, it was just about being the eyes and ears to monitor you, as you were the ruler of Gusanka, and doing so was beneficial to us.

But... recently, things have changed, because... someone offered a large sum to have you dead."

"Who?"

"Another ’general’," the Mayor’s Wife laughed, "He has a keen interest in the two mines controlled by you. So, if you die, it would be a win-win situation for everyone."

The Mayor’s body shook, his facial expression slowly crumbled.

Finally, his lips started to quiver, "So... just killing me isn’t enough, because if all you wanted was my life, you wouldn’t need to do so much. You will..."

"To set up this trap, to first weaken your power. You have too many soldiers in your hands, they must be reduced—this way, that ’general’ will pay less to take over your mines."

The Mayor’s Wife sighed leisurely at this point, "Now, my dear husband, you may die.

I will miss you, though your performance in bed over the years has been less than satisfactory."

The Mayor’s Wife’s tone was filled with maliciousness.

The Mayor roared and lunged forward recklessly, but almost simultaneously...

Bam!

A gunshot rang out!
