Lu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard,
"Mr. President, are you going to visit the hostage?"
"How so? Can’t I visit this brave and just girl? She plans to apply for Xilin Military Academy, right?"
"The girl is seriously injured and it’s not preferable for outsiders to visit."
Lu Ziqing hurriedly said.
He never thought the President would visit Song Lili, especially since in the eyes of this President, who ordered without concern for the hostage’s life, the hostage’s life was worthless.
Moreover, Song Lili had just specifically mentioned that she did not want to see the President...
Now that he was taking the President to Song Lili’s hospital room, would he still have any dignity or face in front of Song Lili afterward?
"Seriously injured..."
Wen Nian mulled over these words and stepped out to leave. Lu Ziqing didn’t get a chance to stop him.
"Mr. President! She really doesn’t need your personal visit, you..."
Lu Ziqing’s words fell on deaf ears as Wen Nian left without needing Lu Ziqing to guide him. President’s secretary Qu Yu accompanied Wen Nian to Tang Xiaohua’s hospital room.
The President’s Guard immediately moved to the front of Tang Xiaohua’s hospital room.
"Commander Lu doesn’t need to come in."
Song Lili leaned on the bed while Tang Xiaocao quietly flipped through a picture book beside her.
Even though she had informed Lu Ziqing, her heart was still apprehensive.
The identity of Tang Xiaohua had no more secrets in front of Wen Nian. When Duan Shen was filming a video for the President, she was right behind Duan Shen; Wen Nian couldn’t possibly not recognize her.
Even if he hesitated at first, a quick inquiry would soon confirm it.
He was the President; his position and his power granted him such capabilities, which Song Lili did not doubt at all.
She had yet to decide how to face Wen Nian, so she preferred not to meet him. If she did, she wouldn’t know what to say—reproach? query? anger?
That was when she was still at Duan Shen’s underground base, unable to calm her emotions then.
The hospital room door was pushed open and then closed.
Song Lili looked at the man who walked in, still strikingly handsome, with a face that could make one unconsciously intoxicated.
With short neat hair and thick, dark brows, his eyes conveyed a man’s confidence and calm that could look down upon everyone.
His eyes scanned the room, pausing on Tang Xiaocao for a second, then landing on Song Lili. He walked over, pulled a chair, and sat down by the bed, saying right away,
Song Lili felt a tightness in her chest and found herself at a loss for words.
"Talking about traveling the world, yet you end up applying to the military academy."
"Did you come just to question me?"
"I didn’t know before how determined you were about being a soldier. You even borrowed someone else’s identity to change your name and ran to the farthest place from Anlin."
"Well, now you know."
Wen Nian spoke calmly, leaning back in his chair, his gaze fixed straight on Song Lili.
"Now that you know, do you understand why I disagree with you being a soldier?"
"Being a soldier, one day, you would go to the battlefield, and even if not, you would still be involved in wars, all kinds of wars. The enemies you would face in the future will be much worse than Duan Shen. I watched you grow up; I understand your nature better than anyone. You are not suitable to be a soldier."
"Wen Nian, I also watched you grow up, and I understand you better than anyone. You are not suitable to be the President."
