From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 130 Remember to wipe your mouth clean after eating.

Accompanied by a series of hurried, heavy footsteps, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.

"you!"

Louise stood anxiously at the door, looking at Ye Xiao and Rachel with a mixture of worry and anger.

"What kind of time is this to be doing this kind of thing!"

"What's wrong? Do you want to join us too?"

Rachel raised an eyebrow, looking defiant.

She was indeed a little unhappy, after all, she was the one who met Ye Xiao first.

Logically and emotionally, Louise was the third party.

"I don't have time to argue with you about this right now!"

Louise angrily went to the window, pulled the curtains shut, and then threw the clothes at Rachel.

"Hurry up and get dressed, Father will be back soon!"

"What? Uh!"

Rachel was shocked to hear this. She covered her mouth, her cheeks puffed out, and her beautiful blue eyes widened. She choked and tears streamed down her face.

After a long pause, she forced herself to swallow, and while changing her clothes, she asked, "Why did Father suddenly come back? Wasn't he in the Special Economic Zone?"

"How should I know!"

Louise glared at Rachel, feeling utterly helpless, but still helped wipe the corner of her mouth.

"Remember to wipe your mouth clean after you finish eating."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Rachel blushed instantly, her previous haughty demeanor completely gone.

"Don't laugh either!"

Louise turned her head and glared at Ye Xiao.

Is this related to me?

"Your father specifically requested to see you this time he came back."

Louise tossed a suit at him, somewhat annoyed: "Hurry up and get dressed, we're going out later."

oh?

Ye Xiao was stunned.

Had I been caught cheating on someone?

"It has nothing to do with Rachel's matter; he wouldn't care about such trivial things at all."

Louise crossed her arms and explained coldly, "In other words, he doesn't care about your relationship with Rachel at all. He must have something else to tell you about this."

These words make Ye Xiao sound like a lazy, good-for-nothing gigolo.

Fortunately, that was what he had originally planned.

Ye Xiao changed into the suit Louise had bought for him and drove her to a lakeside cottage in Medina.

Located on the eastern shore of Lake Washington, it faces the bustling city of Seattle across the water.

This secluded place, which looks like a rural town, is actually one of the wealthiest areas on the West Coast of the United States.

The people living here, besides the world's top billionaires like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, are political families that have been passed down for generations.

Many people living in Seattle will never even set foot in this small town in their lifetime.

Cameras, motion sensors, and other forms of surveillance equipment are scattered throughout the town, along with a well-trained local police force, making Medina a Seattle haven.

The ornate iron gate recognized the license plate and slowly opened.

Although he didn't see a single person along the way, Ye Xiao keenly sensed that he was being watched by countless eyes.

After parking the car, we walked across the wide lawn.

A waiter in a tailcoat had been waiting for some time.

"Miss, sir, this way please."

He led Ye Xiao and Louise through the corridor to a small dock by the lake.

The area is filled with flowers and trees on both sides, which not only block the view but also isolate the sound, making it a natural and private place for conversation.

An elderly man, dressed in a dark blue navy coat, with the same bright blue eyes as Rachel and Louise, and with his white hair neatly combed, sat in a portable chair, staring sharply at the fishing float on the lake.

He was Stephen Wilson, father of Rachel and Louise, a Washington state senator who represented the will of the entire state in Congress.

Upon seeing Ye Xiao approach, Wilson stood up, walked towards Ye Xiao, and extended his hand.

"You're Ye Xiao? I've often heard Louise mention you."

His voice was deep and slow, naturally carrying an indescribable air of authority that compelled people to listen attentively.

"Good job, young man. You're excellent. Please have a seat."

Wilson patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder and asked him to sit in the chair next to him.

This treatment surprised Ye Xiao. It felt like a father-in-law seeing his son-in-law live with him; the appreciation and praise in his eyes seemed genuine.

How exactly does Louise introduce herself to Wilson?

Could it be that he really wants to steal Rachel's boyfriend?

"Son, you've been doing really well in Seattle lately."

Wilson picked up the glass beside him, took a sip of whiskey, and continued, "When I was in Washington, D.C., I often saw your name in reports."

"Those idiots in the FBI, so many people have died, yet they're not even as good as a student who hasn't graduated yet. It's truly shameful."

"So much federal money has been wasted on dogs! They'll have to learn a lesson during the next congressional inquiry."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao felt even more confused.

Have you become famous all the way to Washington, D.C.?

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

The Feast at Hongmen was a banquet hosted by Xiang Yu for Liu Bang, one the Hegemon-King of Western Chu and the other the King of Guanzhong.

What is Ye Xiao compared to Wilson?

"You're too kind."

Ye Xiao remained calm and composed, saying, "I was just lucky. If it weren't for Louise's protection, I might have died long ago."

Upon hearing this, Louise, who was standing beside her, widened her eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

Ye Xiao's attitude at this moment is so different from how he acted in front of me before, isn't it?

She was initially worried that Ye Xiao's bad temper and his arguing with her wouldn't be a big deal.

If I anger my father, it will make everyone unhappy.

Despite Louise's strange gaze, Ye Xiao remained unfazed and shameless.

What's wrong with being a simp for a while?

Since you're so curious, I'll let you be the one when we get back!

"Hmph, you kids from Tokyo University, you just love to be modest."

"Unlike those cunning Japanese, you possess real strength, but you are often unwilling to show it, just like that saying goes."

Wilson smiled, shifting his gaze from the lake to Ye Xiao.

"A wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act, right?"

Grass?

When did these foreigners learn even these things?

"I heard you're still in school. Have you considered doing an internship at Congress?"

Before Ye Xiao could respond, Wilson made a suggestion that shocked him greatly.

"I think you understand the value of this internship experience. Whether you go to a big company in the future or stay in the federal government, it will be a piece of cake."

How could Ye Xiao not understand?

In the United States, a society where personal connections are so important, many things can be accomplished with just a letter of recommendation.

Take the university Ye Xiao attended as an example.

Those students who worked incredibly hard to get in are nothing compared to those who came with recommendation letters.

They are the true inheritors of the American flag.

Wilson's suggestion was even more powerful than a personally signed letter of recommendation; it was practically a gesture of grooming Ye Xiao as a trusted confidant.

If he agrees, his future prospects will be immeasurable!

However, what puzzled Ye Xiao even more than Wilson's suggestion was...

Why did he do that?

Having spent so many years navigating the business world, Ye Xiao has come to a profound understanding of one principle.

There is no such thing as good without a reason; there is only bad without a reason.

The reasons for wanting to harm someone are simple, but the reasons for wanting to help someone require careful consideration.

I was worried that he might be a fraudster, and that I might get into some trouble.

Ye Xiao couldn't understand why Wilson would treat him this way.

Is it just because he wants me to become a live-in son-in-law?

Louise looked at Ye Xiao in confusion, unable to understand why he hadn't agreed yet.

What a great opportunity this is!

So many people want it but can't have it!

She didn't know what Ye Xiao had to hesitate about.

"Mr. Wilson, may I ask you a question?"

"Oh, you say it."

Upon hearing this, Louise was startled and instinctively stared intently at Ye Xiao, fearing he might utter some outrageous words.

Ye Xiao looked directly into Wilson's eyes and said calmly.

"So, what's the price?"

Having suffered losses in his past life, and having witnessed firsthand the inhumane behavior of his American capitalist peers.

Even when faced with enormous benefits, Ye Xiao can now remain calm.

"Good, child, you are very clear-headed."

Wilson smiled, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"In return, I hope you will become a naturalized American citizen, marry Louise, and become her support."

"Don't worry, I won't treat you like a son-in-law who's moved into my daughter's family. Of course, that's on the condition that you can keep my daughter calm."

broken!

So you're really here to find a son-in-law today?

Louise's eyes widened; she hadn't expected to be involved in this.

She used to be very averse to political marriages because they made her feel like she was being treated like a commodity.

But today Louise wasn't so resistant; she even had a little hope that Ye Xiao would agree.

After all, it was my father's request, so there was nothing I could do about it, wasn't there?

Even if Rachel gets angry and objects, it won't make a difference.

Ye Xiao was quite surprised by Wilson's magnanimous attitude.

He wasn't particularly outstanding, nor did he have a strong background, so he wasn't worth Wilson's investment at all.

Wilson had absolutely no reason to help him.

Ye Xiao could only think of one explanation for this illogical phenomenon.

Wilson became very interested in what Ye Xiao represented.

Thinking carefully about what he had just said, Ye Xiao suddenly discovered some clues.

Wilson said he had seen his file in Washington, D.C., and that he was also a senator from Washington state.

This means he definitely knew about what had happened in Seattle recently.

These legislators, more cunning than foxes, are adept at concealing their true thoughts and acquiring what they desire to control at minimal cost.

Ye Xiao's behavior in these incidents represents a highly probable possibility.

Ye Xiao is very likely to help Wilson turn these events into political leverage or enhance his power.

Therefore, Wilson's goal today is to control Ye Xiao, this key element, and make him fight for his own interests.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao suddenly realized the truth.

America truly lives up to its reputation as the most developed capitalist country; even these senators are cunning old foxes.

"How are you, child?"

Wilson picked up his glass, smiled, and gazed at Ye Xiao, carefully observing the reaction on his face.

To Wilson's disappointment, despite his keen insight and extensive knowledge of people, he was unable to discern any change in Ye Xiao's expression.

But no reaction is the biggest reaction.

This discovery, however, made Wilson even more confident in his judgment that Ye Chi was definitely the key variable in these events.

"Don't you want to? I heard you have a good relationship with my daughter, don't you?"

"If you cooperate with me, you will have a bright future in America."

Although Wilson's words sounded kind, they were actually quite forceful, implying that he was trying to coerce Ye Xiao into agreeing.

If Ye Xiao agrees, he will bear the mark of the Wilson family for the rest of his life, become Louise's shadow advisor, and enjoy the status of an American Celestial Dragon.

Unfortunately, Ye Xiao didn't like these things.

Based on his years of education, he has always held a firm stance, hoping only to see this evil and disgusting country descend into civil war and completely collapse.

As a businessman, Ye Xiao sometimes couldn't even accept the actions of his peers across the ocean.

Capital, like a virus, has invaded every cell of this country.

This most powerful nation in human history is like a terrifying ancient god, covered in pus and blood, with deformed limbs and an ugly face, making it impossible to look directly at him.

But the problem came again.

The idea is easy, but putting it into practice is not so simple.

If Ye Xiao refuses inappropriately now, he will only find himself in a predicament where he is hated by others.

Wilson's proposal was both a danger and an opportunity.

If handled well, Ye Xiao will have the strongest backing in Washington State, allowing him to continue expanding outwards.

However, all of this is contingent on him being able to ensure that he is not swallowed up by Wilson.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Congressman, I'm truly flattered by your kindness."

Ye Xiao raised his head and fearlessly met Wilson's sharp eyes.

"I haven't thought that much about it yet. I just want to finish my studies peacefully first."

Upon hearing this, Wilson's face suddenly turned ashen and solemn, while Louise also showed a look of disappointment and worry.

Oh no, Ye Xiao has angered his father again!

"But Mr. Wilson, please rest assured."

Ye Xiao suddenly stood up and grasped Louise's hand, startling her.

"I will wholeheartedly help Louise and protect her."

"But I also hope you can offer some assistance."

"What?"

Wilson's lips twitched, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

This kid not only doesn't want to put in any effort, but he even wants to get some benefits?

He really doesn't want to suffer at all!

"Sir, although I only came to Seattle to study, I have been very impressed with this city."

"I've seen gang attacks on the streets, experienced all sorts of heinous incidents, and come into contact with countless corpses."

As he said this, Ye Xiao wore a pained expression, looking exceptionally concerned about the country and its people.

His eyes were fervent, his posture ramrod straight, and he shouted loudly.

"Sir! The reason why Seattle has recently experienced so much chaos is precisely because of the mayor's incompetence and inability to effectively address the situation."

"For the safety of Seattle citizens, and to better resolve these crises, we hope that you, Mr. Councilor, can help solve these problems and bring a true guardian to this city!"
