Madam President lowered her head in shame . The Shen family was used to shielding their own shortcomings . Her father was the worst for this, he would go to unreasonable lengths to protect his own . Tong Yan was his only granddaughter, he would sacrifice his life to cover up for her .
This was why Tong Yan could commit such an atrocious crime fearlessly .
Madam President worried that the Shen family and Tong family would quarrel with the Xi family over Tong Yan's crime and this would blow up to a ridiculous proportion . Her husband would be stuck between a rock and a hard place .
AdvertisementHe might be the president, but he was also the arbitrator of many forces or else the country would be in complete chaos . However, he was still fighting his illness; she didn't want this to ruin his health .
The president understood her worry . He consoled her, "Don't worry, this will be settled quietly, and even it doesn't, it still won't kill me . "
"Don't say things like that," Madam President berated him with a frown . "You will be fine . After Lu Qi finishes the mechanical heart, your illness will be healed . "
The president laughed . "I will wait for that day to come . I believe I'll be fine, so you shouldn't worry so much . I'm still around, they won't dare to do anything . "
"What if the Xi family refuses to back down?"
"Xi Mubai's criminal proof is still with us, so we'll just let them figure this out on their own for now . We'll intervene if necessary . In actuality, all of them are at fault, but the hegemony of power is now at a sensitive balance, the moment the scale tips, unimaginable tragedy might happen . Hopefully, they can settle this among themselves or else we'll just wrangle all of them into jail," the president said with a cold huff .
Madam President felt better after hearing her husband say that; she knew her husband would handle this well . For the sake of the country, he had suffered through and sacrificed a lot .
Sometimes, bending the law was necessary for the overall profit of the country and its people .
…
Elder Xi arrived at City A that night . Xinghe and Mubai personally went to the airport to fetch him .
His return to City A caused a mixture of emotions to rise up within him . "I've returned to this place again . I thought I would never see the back of this city in my life again . "
Mubai smirked . "Grandfather, you've returned this time to perform a great deed; this is a glorious return for you . "
Elder Xi laughed . "That's not for sure yet . No one can tell how this will end . "
"There can only be one ending, " Mubai responded confidently . "We will win, because we must win!"
"You're right! We must win!" A fire instantly flickered behind Elder Xi's eyes . That was the Xi family's spirit, to never give up .
"Come on, let's get in the car . You can tell me the details then . "
"Okay . "
Xinghe and Mubai accompanied him into the car and they drove towards their Hills Residence . In the car, Mubai relayed everything in detail to his grandfather .
Elder Xi nodded, satisfied . He turned to Xinghe and praised approvingly, "Your plan is brilliant . This is the way we should do it, to make use of other people's forces to attack the Lin family . It is indeed not wise to fight them head on . "
"Therefore, Grandfather, we'll need your cooperation tomorrow," Mubai said with a slight smile .
Elder Xi replied confidently, "Leave it to me . I've known those two old farts from the Tong family and Shen family for years . I can already see what kind of ploy they're going to use . I will never allow them to bully our Xi family . We will pursue this offense to the bitter end!"
