Ye Xingguang said, “It’s okay, big brother. I had everything under control when I decided to save you. Even if I didn’t, I believe luck favors the good and you are destined to be the future President.”
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. It’s 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: “Why have you come? Your presence is flattering.”
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: “You’re quite lucky. You didn’t get blown up.”
“I can’t die. I still want to take over your position,” Ye Shiting replied. He asked Yi Yujian to pour a cup of tea for the President.
Yanbei noticed Ye Xingguang standing by the bed: “So, this is the ‘Goddess of Fire’ who saved your life?”
Ye Xingguang was flattered: “Mr. President, the title ‘Goddess of Fire’ is a bit too much. The netizens just randomly came up with it.”
As Yi Yujian poured the tea, Yanbei took it from him and said: “You truly deserve that title.”
Feeling ignored, Xia Yanyan suddenly entered the conversation: “Mr. 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.”
Yanbei sat down, took a sip of his tea and said: “I just visited the other injured as well. Shiting, I’ve organized a special investigation group for this matter. If it’s not an accident, I’ll give you an explanation.”
Ye Shiting remained silent, his face stern. Even if the government didn’t investigate, he would have someone look into it privately.
With so many bodyguards killed and so many innocent people hurt, if he didn’t 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: “I heard you plan to marry? Have you decided who the lucky guy is?”
Xia Yanyan couldn’t help but glance at Ye Xingguang before proudly nodding: “Yes, 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.”
Yanbei nodded: “Your wedding is of national significance. The state will certainly take it seriously and will arrange according to national wedding standards.”
“But what if he doesn’t want to marry me?” Xia Yanyan worriedly asked.
Yanbei furrowed his brow: “As long as he is not married, there’s no room for negotiation. But, is there really someone who wouldn’t want to marry you? That’s surprising. So, who has caught your eye?”
Xia Yanyan was thrilled and chuckled: “Mr. President, I was just joking. As it’s my first time contemplating marriage, my heart can’t help but feel anxious. I am confident that he will not reject me.”
For Ye Shiting’s sake, even a little White Lotus like Ye Xingguang was acceptable to Ye Junqing. How could he possibly refuse her?
