Ye Xingguang said, âItâs okay, big brother. I had everything under control when I decided to save you. Even if I didnât, I believe luck favors the good and you are destined to be the future President.â
The internet is now full of speculation about the gas station explosion. They are suggesting it was not accidental, but premeditated murder, which is outrageous!
She had never heard of a presidential campaign taken to the point of attempted assassination. Itâs disgraceful!
Netizens are signing petitions online, urging the current President to investigate this matter.
As they were speaking, footsteps came from outside the door.
A man, center of attention, was ushered in.
It was the soon-to-be-retired President, Yanbei, aged thirty-five.
Everyone in the room, including Ye Xingguang, respectfully nodded in greeting.
Ye Shiting sat up in bed and looked at the approaching Yanbei: âWhy have you come? Your presence is flattering.â
Yanbei waved his hand and all the bodyguards that were with him backed off, leaving only an aide by his side.
Yanbei had known Ye Shiting for a long time and came to visit him casually: âYouâre quite lucky. You didnât get blown up.â
âI canât die. I still want to take over your position,â Ye Shiting replied. He asked Yi Yujian to pour a cup of tea for the President.
Yanbei noticed Ye Xingguang standing by the bed: âSo, this is the âGoddess of Fireâ who saved your life?â
Ye Xingguang was flattered: âMr. President, the title âGoddess of Fireâ is a bit too much. The netizens just randomly came up with it.â
As Yi Yujian poured the tea, Yanbei took it from him and said: âYou truly deserve that title.â
Feeling ignored, Xia Yanyan suddenly entered the conversation: âMr. President, thank you for taking the time to see my cousin-in-law among all your busy work. The gas station explosion was definitely dangerous. If it was intentional, it would be absolutely insane. I just visited other victims and the casualties are too high.â
Yanbei sat down, took a sip of his tea and said: âI just visited the other injured as well. Shiting, Iâve organized a special investigation group for this matter. If itâs not an accident, Iâll give you an explanation.â
Ye Shiting remained silent, his face stern. Even if the government didnât investigate, he would have someone look into it privately.
With so many bodyguards killed and so many innocent people hurt, if he didnât bring the culprit to justice, he would feel he had failed in life.
Yanbei stayed in the room for a while. Before leaving, he turned to Xia Yanyan: âI heard you plan to marry? Have you decided who the lucky guy is?â
Xia Yanyan couldnât help but glance at Ye Xingguang before proudly nodding: âYes, Mr. President, I have. I plan to submit a marriage application on my 25th birthday. I hope the country will hold the grandest wedding for me.â
Yanbei nodded: âYour wedding is of national significance. The state will certainly take it seriously and will arrange according to national wedding standards.â
âBut what if he doesnât want to marry me?â Xia Yanyan worriedly asked.
Yanbei furrowed his brow: âAs long as he is not married, thereâs no room for negotiation. But, is there really someone who wouldnât want to marry you? Thatâs surprising. So, who has caught your eye?â
Xia Yanyan was thrilled and chuckled: âMr. President, I was just joking. As itâs my first time contemplating marriage, my heart canât help but feel anxious. I am confident that he will not reject me.â
For Ye Shitingâs sake, even a little White Lotus like Ye Xingguang was acceptable to Ye Junqing. How could he possibly refuse her?
