The mayor told 佟世青 that the reason they didn't tell the police was because they were currently in the midst of an election campaign. They couldn't make a big fuss and let their opponents know about their underground dealings with black market arms dealers like 兰靖寒 and foreign rebel warlords like 莫洛托. Moreover, since they now wanted to trade the gold mine, they had to rescue the trapped people underneath it first. The rescue costs would be considerable, and this amount of money was not included in the original budget for the election campaign. Therefore, he had to pressure 卡珊卓 to lower the price, which had led to all the current troubles. 佟世青 understood from the mayor's words that the mayor wanted him to finance the rescue operation for the gold mine. So 佟世青 negotiated with the mayor, demanding that 卡珊卓 kill 兰靖寒, and in turn, they could use 蔺笙 to kill 尹有容. 佟世青 explained that the mayor had always believed that 尹有容 knew too much about their secrets, and he was not fully loyal to him. The mayor had always been worried about this, so why not take this opportunity to let them fight eachother to the death, and they could eliminate two potential threats at once without getting themselves involved. When 杜沅 overheard 佟世青's words while delivering drinks to them, he couldn't help but feel deeply shocked by 佟世青's ruthlessness.
