The huge conference room was instantly filled with people, all dressed in uniforms. The two leaders were Lei Bao and Da Xiong.
The two of them walked to Ye Nanyi respectfully and nodded in unison.
"lady."
"lady."
Ye Nanyi's eyes passed over these people one by one. For a moment, she thought it was Li Beihan who was back.
The light in her eyes flashed away, and she felt like she was on a roller coaster.
"Why are you here?"
"Master Li has told me that if there are any changes in the country, the guild members must protect the safety of my wife to the death."
Ye Nanyi frowned. It seemed that Li Beihan knew what the situation in the imperial capital would be like if he was not around.
Lei Bao looked at the judicial officers opposite, his eyes seemed to be covered with ice.
On one side are judicial officers wearing dark blue uniforms, and on the other side are guild members wearing black uniforms.
The two sides were in a state of antagonism, with their swords at war and no one willing to give in.
The situation remained at a stalemate.
Minister Sun, who was originally confident that he would definitely be able to take Ye Nanyi away, now had water dripping from his face under the mask.
He took a deep breath and looked around at these people. None of them looked easy to mess with.
"Mr. Ye, what do you mean by this? Just now you were upright and wanted to leave with us, and now you are arranging so many people to protect you? It doesn't matter if you don't come with us today. Anyway, the Li Family Group will bear the consequences."
On the surface, this was a concession, but in fact, it was forcing Ye Nanyi to make his own choice.
At this moment, Lin Fang received a call from his cell phone. It was from the Prime Minister.
He walked to Ye Nanyi and handed over the cell phone he was talking on, "Madam."
Ye Nanyi glanced down, took the phone and put it close to her ear.
A man's deep and serious voice came from the receiver, "Miss Ye..."
"Gu Shoutong." The girl's voice was calm.
"Well, it's me. Neither you nor I expected that things would develop like this. As the Prime Minister, I need to take responsibility for this matter. But I also hope that you can come to the Prime Minister's Office, let's talk and find a solution."
Gu Xiao's tone was quite polite, and he paused and said: "I know that the people in Beihan will not let you be taken away easily. In this way, I promise not to hurt you, and I also allow you to bring someone with you. This The matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible. I also hope that Ms. Ye can put the overall situation first."
"Okay." Ye Nanyi agreed without a moment's hesitation.
What Gu Shoutong said was reasonable. Rather than being taken away by these judicial officers, it was better to go see him and discuss ways that were beneficial to the people of the imperial capital. She could also maximize the remedy.
Minister Sun looked at the girl in front of him and frowned, "What do you mean, Mr. Ye?"
Ye Nanyi hung up the phone and replied: "Sorry, Minister Sun, I can't leave with you. Someone will come from the Capital Office later."
"What? Are you kidding?" Minister Sun didn't believe that this call was from the Prime Minister at all.
I just thought it was her excuse.
He snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
Just as he was about to continue applying pressure, the phone in his pocket rang.
Minister Sun looked at the number above, frowned slightly, turned his back and answered the phone.
"Huh? But... okay, yes, yes... I understand."
Minister Sun turned his head, glanced at Ye Nanyi unwillingly, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This time he didn't let her fall into his hands, which was a real advantage to her.
…
An hour later, Ye Nanyi took Lei Bao and followed the people sent by Gu Xiao to Huadu.
There were dark clouds, and on the way to the airport, the streets were sparsely populated.
Shopping malls are closed, buses and subways are suspended, and the bustling city in the past has now become deserted. The only people on the road are walking in a hurry, wearing masks and not daring to stay longer.
Before we even arrived at the airport, it started pouring rain outside.
As the car drove by, the rain rolled up was mixed with yellowing fallen leaves.
Along the way, Ye Nanyi looked out the window in silence.
The latest report came over the radio in the car again. The total number of deaths exceeded thirty, and the number of confirmed cases continued to increase.
Due to heavy rain, the trip to Huadu had to be delayed. Gu Xiao's men were reporting the matter to him.
"Okay, then please pay attention to your safety." Gu Xiao hung up the phone, frowning, and the TV news in front of him was still reporting on the AOKR virus incident.
This incident has also become a conspiracy theory, and the situation on the Internet is getting more and more serious.
The sound of a wheelchair rolling across the ground came from the study door.
"Dad..." Ling Fei'er knocked on the study door.
Gu Xiao immediately stood up and opened the door, and saw Ling Fei'er sitting in a wheelchair, holding a tray with a pot of tea in both hands.
"You kid, just leave this to the servants." Gu Xiao scolded, reaching out to take the tray, his eyes falling on Ling Feier's scarred hands and arms.
Ling Fei'er retracted her arm and lowered her head. All her movements were cautious, which was heart-wrenching to watch.
"Dad, I have been absent from the Gu family these years and have not been able to fulfill my filial piety to you, so I want to do something that I can do."
Hearing what she said, Gu Xiao felt even more guilty.
It was obvious that he didn't protect her.
"Silly boy."
"Dad, how do you plan to deal with the virus?"
Now it is said on the Internet that Ye Nanyi deliberately developed the slums in order to release the virus that year and to retaliate against China's injustice to the slums over the years.
Gu Xiao pursed his lips. He had already held a meeting all night and issued instructions, but now the pressure from online public opinion was too great.
As the leader of China, he has responsibilities on his shoulders, so he naturally has to give an explanation to the people.
Ling Fei'er saw hesitation in his eyes. Should she be so hesitant when dealing with Ye Nanyi?
"Dad, it's okay with me. You don't have to think about me. I've also thought about it clearly. You are my father and the president of China. You can't show favoritism. You don't have to consider me no matter how you want to deal with Ye Nanyi."
As she said this, Ling Feier's tears fell on the back of her hands.
She lowered her head, trying not to let others see her cry.
Gu Xiao's brows were furrowed, and his heart was filled with pain as he looked at his daughter who had been lost and found.
"Don't worry Qiqi, dad will definitely make the decision for you."
