Indeed, she found herself unable to control her heart. Despite the man she was in love with clearly being full of faults, she was swept up by the idea of running towards the flame to give it a shot. Even if it didnât end well, sheâd at least have tried and would have no regrets. She didnât want the opportunity given by the nation to be in vain.
What was that slogan from the Civil Affairs Bureau again?
The nation leads the way, personal growth follows!
With that thought in mind, she no longer hesitated. She grabbed Han Chengbeiâs arm and said, âI need a favor. Can you take me to the Presidentâs residence? I need to see if the deleted video can be restored. I must prove my innocence. No one can ruin the chance I want to take, especially Xia Yanyan!â
On the other side, Ye Junqing, who was on his private jet, received a call from Mo Fei, revealing that Ye Xingguang had already left the Xiaâs family.
Ye Junqingâs face darkened as he asked, âWas she mistreated at Xiaâs house?â
Mo Fei replied, âItâs not very clear, but according to the guard at Xiaâs house, she left crying. I called her earlier. Sheâs on her way to see the President. She mentioned that the surveillance video showing the truth behind the photographs was erased. Sheâs trying to see if she can recover the footage. I offered to help, as dealing with the Presidentâs staff isnât something she can manage easily. But she said thereâs no need, the President will cover for her.â
âWho did you say would cover for her?â Ye Junqingâs voice turned abruptly icy.
Mo Fei replied, âThe President, Yanbei.â
As a man of few words, Mo Fei was about to end the call. âBrother Junqing, I have to hang up now if thereâs nothing else to discuss. My little girl has a stomachache and sheâs having treatment at the hospital, so I need to take care of her.â
Then, he hung up the call.
As soon as Mo Fei hung up, a call came from Tang Zhou. âBrother Junqing, Leng Chenmo sorted out the task you delegated. But to be honest, we didnât even need him. Most of the leaked photos had been intercepted by Han Chengbei. Nonetheless, Leng Chenmo suggested finding Xia Yanyanâs assistant Ye Li to look for missed photos. She should have complete information. However, when my guy arrived at Ye Liâs house, she had already been taken away by the Presidentâs people.â
âAgain, Yanbei?â Ye Junqingâs voice was as cold as ice.
Tang Zhou said, âItâs quite strange when did our little star hook up with the President? But itâs not just the President; even Han Chengbei has stated publicly that Xia Yanyan is his pampered sweetheart. Anyone who dares to leak damaging news about her would be his enemy. The President is fine, heâs a married man after all. But Han Chengbei has the audacity to aim for your girl. Who does he think he is, brother? Do you want me to have him beaten?â
âNo need!â Ye Junqing was peeved by Yanbei, not Han Chengbei!
Ye Junqingâs exquisitely handsome face was dominated by a blood-thirsty glint in his eyes. Her recurrent habit annoyed him; she always sought comfort from Yanbei whenever things went awry. As if he, her partner, was dead!
Once upon a time, Yanbei was the biggest support to his beloved girl. Every time they had a major disagreement, Yanbei, the meddler, would come to his house and take his girl away. Most peacemakers aim for reconciliation, not separation. Yet, Yanbei was nothing less than a roadblock in his love life!
Thinking about it, Ye Junqing wished to chop Yanbei into pieces, regardless of him being a national leader now!
