Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 682 Heading to Nevada
Li Yongming left the mansion first, declining the chauffeured car service, and walked away slowly.

However, before he could reach the nearest bus stop, a car horn sounded from behind him.

"boarding."

Councilor Wang rolled down the car window and said with a stern face.

Li Yongming remained silent for a moment, then opened the car door and got in. He did not refuse, or rather, the other party did not give him a chance to politely decline.

Have you decided to go to Nevada?

The car started, and Councilor Wang got straight to the point without uttering a single unnecessary word.

It appears that he is seeking an answer, but he speaks with an affirmative tone, without any hint of inquiry.

“I’m a native of Beijing, and all my acquaintances and friends are here. To be honest, I really wanted to refuse to go to a strange city, especially a chaotic one like Nevada.”

Councilor Wang remained silent, waiting quietly for what would follow.

Seeing that Councilor Wang had no intention of responding, Li Yongming continued on his own: "But I don't think I have the right to refuse this matter."

"By using you, he specifically summoned me to a place like this, clearly telling me that I either have to do what he wants, or be prepared to be suppressed and marginalized."

“There was no suppression,” Councilor Wang said expressionlessly. “There will be no more.”

Li Yongming frowned: "What does this mean?"

"Does Councilor Yu know about this?"

Instead of answering Lai Wing Ming's question, Councilor Wong brought up another councilor.

Li Yongming didn't know why he had to bring up other people at this time, but he still nodded slightly and said, "I've heard some rumors that the chaos behind Nevada City seems to have something to do with that person."

Councilor Wang let out a soft breath, unconcerned by Li Yongming's ambiguous words.

"The Yu family is gone."

Seeing how blunt Councilor Wang was, Li Yongming considered for a moment before saying, "You mean... the Yu family has fallen?"

"It didn't just collapse, it's gone."

Councilor Wang gripped his knees tightly with both hands: "Not only Councilor Yu, but also his brothers and sisters, parents and uncles, sons and daughters, and even his grandson who had just turned three years old, all disappeared."

“Overnight, everyone closely associated with the Yu family disappeared without a trace. There were no travel records, no transfer of assets, and no trace of them, leaving behind only a huge inheritance for people to divide up.”

The disappearance of the Yu family has not been made public to this day.

Many people are investigating the truth of the matter, including those who are at odds with the Yu family.

Because this is no longer just a routine purge; if it can make dozens of members of the Yu family disappear without a trace, it can certainly make them disappear as well.

No matter how hard they investigated, no one could find even the slightest clue.

As a result of this incident, few people dared to take over the Yu family's inheritance until Councilor Wang appeared.

As a newly elected councilor, Councilor Wang is well aware of how he got to this position.

If he doesn't follow Dr. Yue's advice, the Yu family's fate will be his future.

The Yu family does indeed have a significant influence in Nevada City. As a powerful backer for many people in Nevada City, the Yu family receives a large amount of tribute every year, making a fortune.

However, their biggest mistake was developing the idea of ​​consolidating the power of Nevada City and using it as a foundation to further advance their family.

Although it's unclear what that person is trying to do, this has clearly hindered some of their plans.

Thus, the vast Yu mansion collapsed overnight.

Councilor Wang's two short sentences sent chills down Li Yongming's spine.

"You mean the Yu family's affairs, and they're related to that person just now? If I refuse..."

Councilor Wang said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.

Sometimes silence itself is an answer.

"This is really... fucked up."

For the first time, Li Yongming swore in front of Councilor Wang. He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette without asking anyone's opinion, and lit it.

A light coolness slid down my throat, accompanied by the minty flavor spreading in my lungs.

He rolled down the car window and exhaled secondhand smoke out of it.

Would I die if I didn't do what that person asked?
Not necessarily.

But even if there was only a one percent chance, Li Yongming didn't want to gamble.

Today's trip made him realize many things.

On the day he saved Councilor Wang, Li Yongming thought to himself that he was incredibly lucky. Having such a powerful figure indebted to him would make his life much easier. At the very least, he could shamelessly ask for a low-paying, easy job within the system.

However, after receiving the Medal of Honor, he began to feel that something was wrong.

The department that Representative Wang is in charge of has little overlap with the work of bounty hunters.

The Medal of Honor is not a cheap reward that can be obtained easily.

No one has ever obtained the Bounty Hunter system since its inception, which shows how difficult it is to acquire.

It's clear that someone was pulling the strings behind this medal.

Considering the conversation at the mansion just now, everything makes sense.

I have become a pawn in someone's game.

Li Yongming was self-aware; he had no desire to participate in such a top-level power struggle.

He is indeed somewhat clever, but the difference in their status is too great, and their perspectives differ depending on their positions.

When a nobody gets caught up in the game, the outcome is often a near-certain death or even certain death.

Li Yongming had hoped to use Councilor Wang's favor to secure a stable and respectable job, but Wang had not given him that opportunity.

At this moment, Li Yongming completely gave up on this idea. He turned his head and looked at Councilor Wang with eyes that no longer held any expectation: "When should I set off?"

"The sooner the better. I have already notified the local authorities to prepare for the handover."

Finally, Councilor Wang added casually, "It would be best to bring your sister along too. I remember she wanted to study journalism and media, right? Media jobs are hard to find here."

"Is Xiaoya going too?"

Li Yongming stared at Councilor Wang expressionlessly.

The latter remained unmoved under Li Yongming's gaze: "Are you sure it's better to leave her here alone?"

"I'm going to Nevada! You know better than I how dangerous it is there!"

"Danger sometimes refers to more than just the visible knives, guns, and clubs."

Councilor Wang gestured for the driver to stop at the sidewalk: "Consider this my advice to you; whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Hearing Councilor Wang's suggestive words, Li Yongming's face showed anger.

He never expected that Councilor Wang, who had saved his life, would not even take care of his sister in the area after he left.

Of course, as a politician, Representative Wang has his reasons for doing so.

If Li Yongming hadn't been targeted by Yue Yangyan, then it wouldn't be a bad thing to take care of him, even if it was just to improve his image. He and his sister Li Yongming should be taken good care of.

But now that Li Yongming has become Yue Yangyan's pawn, Councilor Wang must first consider Yue Yangyan's attitude before satisfying Li Yongming's demands.

He had received clear instructions to send Li Yongming and his sister to Neva City.

Although I don't know what the point is of having Li Xiaoya come along, I should do as Yue Yangyan asked since he requested it.

Obedient dogs live longer.

“I have a large 200-square-meter apartment in Nevada. When you arrive in Nevada, someone will give you the key. You don’t need to worry about security there. There will be a housekeeper for meals, and if you don’t like the restaurants nearby, we can also provide delivery service.”

"And there happens to be a good university nearby, I can arrange for your sister to be admitted without taking the entrance exam."

"Your sister can ride in my car to and from school normally. Even if Nevada is chaotic, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on someone who gets out of my car."

"At the same time, I will have the driver reimburse your daily expenses, and you can communicate directly with the driver if you have any requests later."

Are you satisfied with this arrangement?

Councilor Wang's words calmed Li Yongming down, preventing him from losing his temper.

Li Yongming wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say.

Except for clothes, Councilor Wang has arranged everything for her, from food and clothing to accommodation and transportation, which is much better than Li Xiaoya staying here alone.

A sense of frustration, of being led by the nose, lingered in my heart.

The generous conditions, coupled with Li Yongming's own concern about leaving Li Xiaoya alone here, made him feel a little uneasy.

Ultimately, he agreed to Representative Wang's proposal.

After getting out of the car, Li Yongming watched the departing sedan with a furrowed brow.

"I hope I never have to deal with politicians again in my life."
