"Father……"
"Don't call me father, I don't have a son like you." Shen Kangxiong immediately retorted. On the metal photo frame on the table, his cold face was printed, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth were tight and serious.
"Since you dared to change your surname back then and were willing to get married for a woman! You are still the son of me, Shen Kangxiong. Besides, you are now the leader of a country. You dare to arrest my granddaughter, and you still care about my face? hehe……"
The person on the other end of the phone sighed, "Father, when you ask for help, you have to act like you're asking for help, right?"
"What? I beg you? Who begged you? I am your father, and I am ordering you to let me go!" Shen Kangxiong's voice was loud and full of anger.
Everyone in the restaurant downstairs could hear it, and several people looked at the study upstairs intently.
He didn't even dare to make a sound.
Only the eldest brother has the ability to make his father so angry.
"Didn't you just say that you don't have a son like me?"
Shen Kangxiong's breath was stuck in his throat, and the hand holding the phone trembled. He wanted to put the phone down immediately, but after thinking about it, his beloved granddaughter was still in the other person's hand.
"Shen Xiao, no no no, Gu Xiao, Gu Dashou..." Mr. Shen said every word, his teeth itching with anger.
Do you really want him to beg him?
"Father, I know that Ye Nanyi is your adopted granddaughter, and I also know that she is from Beihan, but... I am in this position, and I also have responsibilities that I shoulder. This matter must be resolved, and It has to be as soon as possible. But I can promise you to spare her life."
Spare her life?
Shen Kangxiong's hand on the phone tightened. How could he not know the meaning behind this sentence? His life was saved, but he couldn't say anything else.
His little granddaughter is so proud, if she becomes disabled or suffers some hardships...
He didn't dare to think about it.
His little granddaughter must come back intact, and there must be no mistakes.
"Do you know how important she is to Li Beihan? If anything happens to her, that mad dog Li Beihan will not let you go." Mr. Shen saw that he was of no use here, so he had no choice but to move out of Li Beihan.
If there was anyone Gu Xiao was afraid of in this position, it was Li Beihan.
Gu Xiao sighed on the other end of the phone and raised his eyes to look at the girl on the surveillance screen.
He knew Li Beihan's current situation and posed no threat to him at the moment.
Seeing that the person on the other end of the phone didn't speak, Mr. Shen also understood.
This must be done.
"Father, in this position, I also have my own difficulties. I have suffered no less than others. I hope you can understand me, just like you understood your mother back then..."
"I don't understand!" After Shen Kangxiong shouted these four words, he pushed the phone and all the books on the table to the ground.
He sat back down on the chair, his chest heaved violently, and he felt dizzy.
Fortunately, he had medicine at hand and quickly swallowed two quick-acting Jiuxin Pills.
He never understood them.
But there was no way. In the eyes of everyone, their choice was right, but only their family members endured all this silently.
He just wants them to be selfish, even a little bit.
Mr. Shen's eyes were a little red.
After a brief silence, a man's voice came from the phone receiver, "Father, I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"Dududu..."
After Gu Xiao hung up the phone, he leaned weakly on the back of his chair.
Back then, he listened to his mother's advice and entered politics. Without the help of the Gu family, he would not have been able to be a candidate for president, nor could he compete with the Ling family. He could only watch helplessly as those people played the game of checks and balances of power.
He only cares about his own position not being shaken, and doesn't care about the life or death of the people at all.
He had to do this at that time, get the help of the Gu family, and become the leader, otherwise he would not be able to fulfill his mother's last wish.
Nor can it make the entire country of China better or the lives of all people better. These are what his mother wants to see and what he wants to see.
He rubbed his temples and stared at the monitor in front of him for a while.
Feeling that she was being watched, Ye Nanyi raised her eyes again.
"Gu Shoutong, let's talk. I've been detained for three hours. You should be more anxious than me, right?" Ye Nanyi's voice was clear and cold. With one sentence, the situation at this moment was turned around.
It was obvious that she was the passive one, but her words made it seem like she was in charge of everything.
After three hours, the fermentation of public opinion should have been out of control.
Ye Nanyi only hoped that Mu Ziqing would see the message she sent them before coming here, and that they would not foolishly speak up for her and not involve them.
Gu Xiao did not respond to her immediately, but locked her up for a few more hours.
The lights here are too bright and there is no way to rest. This kind of wearing away of one's will is the most uncomfortable thing.
I don't know how long it took, but the iron bars outside the door were pulled open, and there was a "crack".
Lei Bao's closed eyes suddenly opened, his pupils filled with bloodshot eyes.
"Miss Ye, the Prime Minister wants to see you alone." The housekeeper's voice sounded at the door.
Ye Nanyi opened her eyes and glanced at Lei Bao, "What did Li Beihan order you before?"
"I will obey Madam's arrangements in everything, and I will protect Madam's safety to the death." Lei Bao said hoarsely.
"Okay, you will leave the capital in a moment." She ordered coldly.
Lei Bao opened his mouth, "Madam..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door was opened.
Ye Nanyi stood up from the sofa, "The Prime Minister wants to see me alone, then let Lei Bao leave."
If Lei Bao hadn't insisted on following, she would have come alone. The current situation is no different from her guess. Lei Bao's staying will only hurt innocent people.
"Ms. Ye, this is the capital, and it's not you who has the final say."
"Then keep locking me here." Ye Nanyi knew how troublesome Gu Xiao was now.
"You...you don't care about yourself, why do you care about others?" The housekeeper frowned at her, somewhat confused about the little girl.
Lei Bao stood in front of her and nodded slightly, "Madam, although Master Han said that everything will be subject to your arrangements, there is another sentence, which is to protect the safety of Madam to the death."
He knew that Madam wanted to protect him and didn't want him to be in danger, but the more this happened, the less he could leave Madam here alone.
At this moment, a tall figure blocked the doorway.
"Okay, I can promise you that I won't involve anyone else." Gu Xiao stood with his back to the light, and Ye Nanyi vaguely felt that this figure was inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen it in a dream.
This feeling is very strange.
There were so many memories from the two previous lives that she could no longer remember many things.
