Love You for the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 1514

Chapter 1514: Chapter 1514: Don’t Know If This Matter Has Anything to Do With Him

The cousin was escorted back to the state capital under strict surveillance, handcuffed, shackled, even gagged, unable to speak, with no chance of escape.

Of course, he didn’t dare to run, but his eyes were wide open, looking utterly terrified.

The Governor personally came to see this cousin as well, and upon seeing him, immediately frowned, with a sinking feeling in his heart.

It turns out the Governor had some acquaintance with this cousin. Though he had never met or spoken with him, during his campaign for Governor two years ago, his wife had sought help from the ancient witch tribe.

This cousin had met with his wife, and naturally, he had secretly met him as well.

He didn’t expect that Di Mingzhe would come to arrest people from the ancient witch tribe.

What could have happened to make Di Mingzhe personally intervene and issue such a stern command?

The Governor began to feel guilty. Could it be that his actions had been discovered?

He didn’t fully understand the power of the ancient witch tribe. All he knew was that he was elected Governor smoothly, while the two people who competed against him had one end up with mental issues and the other fell suddenly ill, remaining in poor health even now.

This made him wonder, could it be that Di Mingzhe found out?

But that seemed unlikely.

The Governor wasn’t foolish. Being a veteran in political circles, after carefully evaluating, he felt that it wasn’t closely related to him.

However, he was secretly delighted. How should he put it?

The ancient witch tribe had always been a thorn in his side, especially after he was elected. He feared they might turn against him.

After all, he had done something against his conscience in the past, hiring someone to curse his competitors. Despite the initial agreement that the ancient witch tribe would bring disaster to others in exchange for compensation and therefore wouldn’t betray him, people’s hearts are unpredictable, aren’t they?

He knew the benefits of aligning with the enormous Empire, which was the largest country in the world, and being an autonomous state was actually quite advantageous.

Anyway, he was enjoying his tenure as Governor very much, and he never considered splitting off.

Therefore, he investigated some past matters of the Miao Family of the ancient witch tribe, learning that one of their descendants had violated family rules, and even their body was not allowed to be buried back in the ancestral shrine.

He knew this was a direct descendant of the Miao Family and understood that the Miao Family always valued lineage highly.

So, he ordered the requisition of the burial ground outside the Miao Family village, where the girl’s body was interred, intending to use this as leverage to negotiate with the ancient witch tribe.

But unexpectedly, they refused to negotiate, claiming that they would soon bring the girl’s remains back to the ancestral shrine.

He didn’t dare to force the issue, so he decided to wait and see.
