Chapter 625: Go Big or Go Home

Editor: Millman97

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鈥檚 crime and this would blow up to a ridiculous proportion. Her husband would be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

He 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鈥檛 want this to ruin his health.

The president understood her worry. He consoled her, "Don鈥檛 worry, this will be settled quietly, and even it doesn鈥檛, it still won鈥檛 kill me."

"Don鈥檛 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鈥檒l be fine, so you shouldn鈥檛 worry so much. I鈥檓 still around, they won鈥檛 dare to do anything."

"What if the Xi family refuses to back down?"

"Xi Mubai鈥檚 criminal proof is still with us, so we鈥檒l just let them figure this out on their own for now. We鈥檒l 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鈥檒l 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鈥檝e returned to this place again. I thought I would never see the back of this city in my life again."

Mubai smirked. "Grandfather, you鈥檝e returned this time to perform a great deed; this is a glorious return for you."

Elder Xi laughed. "That鈥檚 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鈥檙e right! We must win!" A fire instantly flickered behind Elder Xi鈥檚 eyes. That was the Xi family鈥檚 spirit, to never give up.

"Come on, let鈥檚 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鈥檚 forces to attack the Lin family. It is indeed not wise to fight them head on."

"Therefore, Grandfather, we鈥檒l need your cooperation tomorrow," Mubai said with a slight smile.

Elder Xi replied confidently, "Leave it to me. I鈥檝e known those two old farts from the Tong family and Shen family for years. I can already see what kind of ploy they鈥檙e going to use. I will never allow them to bully our Xi family. We will pursue this offense to the bitter end!"
