From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 131 He really wanted to improve!

No, bro?

What are you saying?

Wilson and Louise were stunned by his outrageous remarks.

These two Americans had never seen anything like this before, where someone was suddenly bestowed a yellow robe upon them.

Although Ye Xiao kept talking about the hardships faced by Seattle citizens, the words conveyed a different meaning when put together.

Commissioner Louise, it's getting cold.

Quickly put on this mayor's coat!

He really wants to improve!

The simple dock fell silent, and the whole world seemed to be filled only with the rising smoke from burning cigars.

Wilson looked at the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as his daughter. The indifference in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his admiration turned into a heavy sense of apprehension and wariness.

For these political animals, this sense of crisis only arises when they encounter an opponent of equal strength.

Strangely, Wilson felt as if he were facing a political opponent in Congress when confronting Ye Xiao, who was not even a foreigner.

Ye Xiao, far from being intimidated, dared to make such a demand in front of him.

The younger generation is truly formidable.

Are all the young people at Dongda University this arrogant these days?

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest for a bit."

Wilson stared at Ye Xiao in silence for a while, then suddenly turned and left the dock, leaving Louise and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Ye! You, you've gone too far!"

Startled, Louise nervously grabbed Ye Xiao's arm. Her frightened face flushed slightly, and her eyes were glazed, filled with deep emotion and worry.

"Where did you get the nerve to speak to Father like that?"

"I... I never even thought about such a thing."

"What's wrong now?"

Ye Xiao shrugged, his tone calm yet firm.

"Weakness and humility are not for you. You are a born politician, a future member of Congress, and you should not just stay in this position."

"Have you never considered becoming the mayor of Seattle?"

"I----"

Louise swallowed hard, looking at Ye Xiao with some fear, wondering how he had figured out her thoughts.

Did she not hide her true feelings at all?

Louise knew all too well that in this political environment, the biggest taboo was to reveal one's purpose.

Just like Ye Xiao, only by keeping people guessing about his purpose can one gain the upper hand in negotiations.

Once someone discovers your purpose, it's like having your hole cards read in Texas Hold'em. You have no choice but to be put under extreme pressure or fold.

"As for whether Mr. Wilson will be angry, I am not worried."

"you!"

"I think you're the one who should be worried about this."

"What?"

Louise paused, looking at Ye Xiao with confusion: "Me? Why?"

"Guess who your father is waiting for inside the villa right now, you or me?"

"Do you think he needs an ambitious partner vying for the highest power in the city, or a hesitant but good daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Louise suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Ye Chi is incredibly shrewd; he's like a fox, able to see right through people.

However, Louise didn't have time to dwell on these things at the moment.

Just as Ye Xiao said, Wilson is now waiting for her attitude.

If Louise shows hesitation or indecision, it will only make Wilson feel that his carefully groomed eldest daughter has failed.

Although desire can sometimes be foolish, politicians cannot be without strong greed.

If you have no ambition, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?

"Okay, then wait here for a moment, I'll be right there."

Louise nodded solemnly and quickly ran into the villa.

Very good progress.

Ye Xiao never expected things to go so smoothly.

About a week later, several Seattle City Council members suddenly signed a joint proposal to impeach Mayor Victor.

These lawmakers claimed that Mayor Victor had improper dealings with Representative Lodge, involving a serious criminal case. The state attorney general's office also dispatched an experienced assistant attorney general to lead a task force to Seattle to conduct a simultaneous investigation into Mayor Victor.

The speed was so fast that even Mayor Victor was surprised.

He clearly remembered having dinner and playing cards with several of the members of parliament on the proposal list last night.

These sons of bitches are worthless!

After dismissing the liaison secretary, Viktor loosened his tie, his face pale, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

Such swift action means someone is definitely planning to get rid of him!

I have no idea who this visitor is, that he can command the state attorney general and the vast majority of city council members.

No, we can't just sit here and wait to die!

All this mess was caused by the FBI, what does it have to do with them!

Viktor felt both wronged and angry.

You want to make yourself a scapegoat and throw yourself out to die, right?

Then none of them should think about living!

Victor suddenly remembered that a bigwig he knew had returned to Washington state to campaign for the upcoming election year.

This is a golden opportunity!

So Victor quickly made a phone call.

"Feed? Victor? Are you crazy! Calling me at a time like this!"

Hearing the screams coming from the other end of the phone, Victor frowned and made a face.

Damn it, am I now more annoying than a homeless person?

"Hugo, don't forget who helped you back then."

Viktor scoffed, "If you don't want me to drag you down with me, help me this last time. Otherwise, if I step down, none of you will have an easy time!"

'

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Just as Viktor was about to lose his temper, a helpless voice finally rang out.

"Okay, Victor, you have to promise me this is the last time."

"You know, it's not so easy to find out where the congressman is."

"After this is over, let's never contact each other again."

The call ended quickly. Viktor suppressed his anger and looked at the text message sent by the other party.

Seattle Marina Area Green Grass Sea Fishing Club

Upon seeing this text, Viktor smiled slightly, as if he had regained control of the situation.

Not long after, a luxury Buick SUV pulled up in front of the sea fishing club.

Mayor Victor, having reorganized his thoughts, got out of the car and anxiously searched for a familiar figure in the club.

As long as we can find that big shot again, neither the Attorney General's investigation nor the parliamentary impeachment will matter.

As long as he can be found, Victor can continue to be his mayor!

Led by a waiter, Victor soon arrived at a private room deep inside the club, facing the sea.

The scenery here is beautiful, and the seascape is even more profound in the depths of winter.

Washington State Senator Wilson sat on a queen chair nearby, enjoying the beautiful view while sipping whiskey and smoking a cigar.

Viktor pulled out a silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said softly, somewhat awkwardly.

"gentlemen----"

"Oh, Victor, it's you. It's been so long!"

Wilson turned his head slightly, pointed to the seat next to him and smiled: "Sit down, what are you being so reserved about?"

"I'm sorry to bother you."

Victor shrank back and nervously sat down next to Wilson, just like the two of them had done together in the state government office years ago.

However, now one of them is a senator, and the other is just a mayor.

Although the United States emphasizes independence and freedom, and stresses elections and autonomy.

But how can those who go out to become officials escape these interpersonal relationships and worldly wisdom?

Moreover, Washington state is the Democratic Party's strongest stronghold in the American Northwest.

After reminiscing about the past, Viktor felt much more relaxed.

He picked up the glass on the table, took a big gulp of whiskey, and then mustered up the courage to look at Wilson and speak.

"Will, I'm in trouble."

"oh?"

Wilson turned his head, revealing his signature gentle smile.

"Is it the legislature's impeachment of you? Or the state attorney general's investigation?"

Upon hearing this, Viktor's heart leaped into his throat.

How did Wilson know that?

But it's not surprising that he knew all this, after all, Seattle was his impregnable stronghold.

"I suspect it's Republicans stirring up trouble."

Victor swallowed hard, a hint of anger flashing across his face. "Will, you know, these things really have nothing to do with me. I genuinely had no idea old Rocky was that kind of person, let alone that the FBI would do something like that!"

"The conflict between white people and immigrants in Seattle has been getting worse these past few days. It must be the Republicans. Those guys want to take advantage of the upcoming election year to do something big in Washington state and wipe out our consolidated advantage in Seattle."

"Will, give me a hand! We can't let those country bumpkins ruin what we've worked so hard for!"

Viktor became more and more agitated as he spoke, and even his eyes became slightly red.

In his view, this was absolutely political suppression from the opposing party!

As one of the top figures in the Washington State Party, Wilson had to step in to help stabilize the situation!

To Viktor's surprise, Wilson did not agree as quickly as he had expected.

Wilson took a puff of his cigar, his gaze piercing through the drifting smoke as he stared at the distant horizon, remaining silent for a long time.

Viktor doesn't know yet.

The Washington State party headquarters has already made a decision regarding this matter.

Under Mayor Victor's administration, the once thriving city of Seattle has become almost as dangerous as Gotham City from the comics, and many party members and citizens have long been dissatisfied with him.

In an effort to bolster public support, the Democratic Party's state headquarters has decided to replace its leader.

"Will!"

"We don't have much time left!"

"Victor said urgently."

"Sorry, Viktor, I got a little engrossed in it."

Wilson finally came to his senses and slowly began to speak.

"You know what? What I miss most about Washington, D.C. is the Seattle ocean view."

Victor was puzzled, wondering what Wilson meant by suddenly bringing this up.

"You're right, we really can't let those country bumpkins ruin our past achievements."

"But Viktor, as you know, next year is an election year, and the Democratic Party Central Committee is very dissatisfied with our work here."

"Recent events in Seattle have severely impacted our image in the eyes of the nation."

Upon hearing this, Viktor suddenly bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"But this was all caused by those bastards, it has nothing to do with me!"

""

"I'm innocent, Will! I had no way to stop them!"

No, you are not innocent.

Wilson slammed his half-burnt cigar down on the ashtray and looked at Victor.

"If you can't do it, why not find someone who can?"

Victor paused, staring directly into Wilson's eyes, thinking he had misheard.

"What are you talking about, Will? Are you planning to replace me?"

"This isn't right, Will, this isn't right!"

"I've done my part for the Democratic Party, I've shed blood for the party! You can't treat me like this!"

In his desperation, Viktor's entire body trembled, and his broad face almost curled up into a ball.

He quickly grabbed Wilson's hand.

"Will, as an old friend, you have to help me!"

"No, Victor."

Wilson refused him coldly: "I'm sorry, it's really not possible this time. I can't get involved in this."

"The party headquarters has already made a decision. If you don't want to be dignified, someone will help you be dignified."

"Why? Who exactly do you want to replace him with?"

"I don't believe anyone can do better than me!"

"Ugh."

Wilson sighed, looking at Victor with a complicated expression: "She's my daughter, Louise."

"What?!"

Viktor's voice suddenly turned shrill, and the pleading on his face quickly turned into shock. He suddenly felt like the sky had fallen!

Well, all that pleading for him for so long...

So it turns out Wilson was behind all this!

He was willing to ruin himself in order to promote his daughter!

"Wilson, what are you talking about?"

"How much have I done for you over the years? Who accompanied you all over Washington state during your senator campaign? Who helped you collect those dirty money when you were in the state government?"

"Now that I'm in trouble, are you going to kick me while I'm down and give my position to your daughter?"

"Watch your attitude, Viktor."

Wilson suddenly stopped smiling, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

These monsters, who have been navigating the treacherous waters of Congress for years, are none of them to be trifled with.

Even if the Silence of the Lambs goes in, it won't be long before they become Hannibal Lecter.

"I made this decision entirely for the greater good."

"Hmph, what grand scheme of things! Don't think I don't know what you're plotting!"

Wilson smiled at Viktor's exasperated look.

"Then let's just say I was behind this, Viktor. What can you do against me? Spread those shady deals to the outside world?"

"By doing this, you will only sever all ties with us."

"Damn it!"

Victor retorted indignantly, "Why? What do I lack compared to your daughter? I have experience, I have a team, and I've managed Seattle for a full eight years!"

"Answer me, why!"

"Without your help, how could she possibly replace me!"

"Louise can ensure Cecilia's safety, can you?"

"What?"

Viktor was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"How could this be!"

"Nothing is possible, Victor."

Wilson smiled calmly, pulled out a tablet from behind him, and opened a video.

"You'll understand once you watch that video."
