705: Relax and keep moving forward

Su Yue looked at the result before him, nodded in satisfaction, and then had the remaining people take the white man to get medical attention. At the same time, he fired another shot into the man's other thigh and said, "There's still one bullet I didn't use. I'm saving it for your brother to come and get it from you himself after he recovers. You'd best pray you get a chance to stay far away from us in the future."

"Alright, alright, why aren't you thanking Mr. Su Yue? Hurry up and get lost!" Minsweite slumped onto the sofa. In that instant just now, he truly thought he was finished. Su Yue's eyes were fierce enough to kill everyone.

"You want to cooperate with me? Why?" Su Yue pretended to know nothing and asked as per usual.

Seeing that the negotiation had officially begun, Minsweite took out the recording file he had previously obtained and said, "This is the evidence I have. It can prove that Mr. Su Yue, you are indeed helping me."

"I know I messed up just now, but we did pay the price. Do you think you could give me another chance?" Minsweite pleaded with a smile.

"Where did you get this file?" Su Yue asked.

"It... it was Deng Liduō who gave it to me!" Minsweite had no choice but to reveal the answer, although he also found it hard to believe, because when he sent someone to find Deng Liduō, Deng Liduō had already committed suicide in prison, unable to bear the harassment, making it impossible to verify.

"I did choose you as the Presidential Candidate this time, but it wasn't from the beginning. You should also know that I only chose you at the very end." Seeing that Minsweite had no malicious intentions, Su Yue spoke frankly.

"I know, I know. But look, I'm not far from the position of President now, yet no one is paying attention to this! Even if I become the President of the United States, no one will know!" Minsweite voiced his troubles.

To be honest, Minsweite didn't want to take the position under these circumstances at all. Firstly, it felt like he was getting a bargain, and secondly, it would be difficult to quickly achieve results by taking the position now.

After hearing Minsweite's explanation, Su Yue had already cursed Minsweite thoroughly in his heart. How could he be so stupid?

"Are you talking nonsense now? Which sentence of yours is even slightly reliable?" Su Yue looked at Minsweite in disbelief. Shouldn't he be thinking about how to consolidate power after becoming President and how to restore the public's trust in the government?

He was actually here pondering over meaningless things.

"Mr. Su Yue, then tell me, what should I do now? Do I still need to do anything?" Minsweite knew he indeed had a problem, otherwise Tex wouldn't have held onto the position of Federal Court President and not given it to him.

At first, Su Yue hadn't been without suspicion, but now he was completely certain. The reason wasn't complicated at all; Minsweite was just too stupid and was still here thinking about how to show off.

"All you need to do now is firmly grasp the Federal Court. After that, they will naturally recommend you to become the Presidential Candidate. The Federal Court is your last retreat; you must control it well, control it firmly."

"You must leave yourself a way out when you are riding high, so that you won't end up with nowhere to go in the future."

Minsweite nodded. He trusted Su Yue very much now because his father had told him to trust Su Yue.

"Is there anything else I need to strive to do?" Minsweite thought for a moment and then continued to ask.

"No, that's all. You can go back now." Su Yue desperately suppressed the urge to break down. Wasn't it precisely because Minsweite was easy to control that he chose him in the first place? Now he had to bear all of this.

After watching Minsweite leave, Su Yue quickly rushed to the hospital. He had discussed this matter with Li Si long ago, but he didn't expect him to still get injured in the end. Su Yue was on the verge of breaking down; he had sent people to the hospital repeatedly these past two days, and it was all because of himself.

Su Yue arrived at Li Si's ward feeling dejected. Seeing Li Si still lying on the bed, he anxiously called out, "Director, Director, wake up quickly!" Su Yue looked at Li Si in this state, initially very sad, but then burst into laughter.

"Director, you're still laughing? Aren't you coming to see me!" Li Si pouted in anger, like a wronged little pig.

"I really wanted to feel sorry for you, but looking at you now, it's really hard to do. Why are you like this? Don't you feel any pain at all? You're still acting like a child." Su Yue couldn't help but say.

"I am a child, Director, I'm younger than all of you. Besides, aren't you blaming me for not listening to you?" Li Si looked at Su Yue cautiously, afraid that Su Yue would get angry again and he wouldn't be able to appease him.

"How could I dare to be angry? I didn't even want you to go home, but you didn't listen to me. This time, I didn't protect you well again." Su Yue's tone was somewhat dejected as he said this.

"No way, Director, are you just going to be so dejected? Let me show you my wound, look how heroic I am!" Saying this, Li Si exposed his arm, specifically for Su Yue to look at carefully.

"What is this?" Only then did Su Yue realize that he wasn't injured at all, and that pool of blood wasn't Li Si's.

"How could I possibly let myself get injured? At that time, he didn't even dare to move and was still bragging there. He didn't even pull his own trigger, he was so stupid." Li Si said proudly.

Su Yue looked at Li Si's cunning appearance, then thought about the miserable fate of that white man just now, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him. Seeing that Su Yue didn't react, Li Si continued, "Director, aren't you going to praise me? I'm so clever!"

Su Yue chuckled lightly, "Do you know how many shots that black man took from me?"

Li Si shook his head, "I don't know!"

Su Yue told him, "After you left, Minsweite directly gave that white man two shots, and then I added another one. I also said that the remaining shot was for you to deliver personally, but now it seems unnecessary."

As soon as Li Si heard how miserable the white man was, he immediately stopped pretending to be pitiful and muttered in a low voice, "Are we still going home? We haven't eaten yet!"

Zheng Ziye and Wang Linlin also laughed when they heard this. "Alright, let's go home and eat!"

Li Si pulled Su Yue, not letting him go back to that "battlefield," and stubbornly said, "That room of yours, it's full of my blood and those bad memories. Come back to Uncle's house with us now and live with Linlin!"

Su Yue looked at the determined eyes of the other two, knowing he couldn't escape, and could only nod in agreement.

"You can't back out now! Otherwise, we won't agree, and you can forget about secretly going out to work like this in the future, it's too dangerous!" Seeing that Su Yue agreed, Li Si let go of him and left with Zheng Ziye, so as not to be a third wheel.

Su Yue held Wang Linlin's hand and softly asked, "Were you scared just now?"

Wang Linlin deliberately made things difficult, "Yes, so how will you compensate me?"

"Tell me how to compensate you, and I will!" Su Yue agreed readily.

"I want you to live with me at Uncle's house from now on!" Wang Linlin said puffing her cheeks. Thinking of the scene just now, she felt a lingering fear. Had Su Yue been facing such situations by himself all this time?

"Why are you suddenly saying this?" Su Yue didn't understand why everyone was so insistent on this tonight.

Wang Linlin lowered her head. It wasn't that she hadn't considered how dangerous Su Yue's work was, and she knew she couldn't persuade him. The only thing she could do was accompany him. But even Su Yue's home wasn't safe, so how could she be at ease?

Originally, no one wanted to go to Su Yue's house, but Su Yue received a call saying he had to take them home first and then go back himself, and couldn't eat with them. As a result, Li Si and Wang Linlin stopped him and insisted on following. Su Yue had no choice but to say he would take Zheng Ziye home first and then discuss the matter. But none of the three were willing to go back and insisted on going to Su Yue's house.

Su Yue hadn't originally wanted to tell them, but given the situation at the time, he had to tell the truth, saying that strangers might come to the house, so he had to go back. He didn't expect all three of them to want to go together. Su Yue had thought there wouldn't be any danger, after all, he was right next to Minsweite and his father's call at the time, and he was the one who introduced Minsweite.

In this grand game of chess, Su Yue was now the only player. He really didn't expect Minsweite's subordinates to be even stupider than Minsweite, but thankfully no one was injured. However, this experience left Wang Linlin terrified.

She knew Su Yue was capable, but she couldn't accept that Su Yue had to face these things alone. She wanted to be by Su Yue's side.

"Linlin, what's wrong?" Su Yue saw that Wang Linlin's mood was off.

"Nothing!" Wang Linlin walked forward, holding back her tears.

"Linlin, is it because of what happened just now? It's really not that serious. We usually don't encounter things like this, and besides, Neiwuduo and Lyon are with me! Don't worry, I won't be in danger." Su Yue could sense Wang Linlin's unease.

Wang Linlin wiped away her tears and said stubbornly, "Su Yue, you know I like you, so you're not taking yourself seriously now. Alright, from now on, wherever you go, I'll follow. I don't care. You don't care about yourself, but I care about you."

"To be with you, I applied for psychology. I think about you every day. Do you think like this too? For you, I waited for you to come back again and again. For you, I came from home to this broken place! Do you know my English isn't good?" Wang Linlin became more and more emotional as she spoke.

She was really worried that she would never see Su Yue again. As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't bear it and wanted to cry.

"Linlin, Linlin! It's okay, I'm here!" Su Yue held Wang Linlin's hand, bent down to wipe away her tears, and comforted her softly, "I won't, I promise you, okay? I'll live with you guys from now on and bother you every day when I come home. I'm just afraid I can't control myself!"

Wang Linlin looked at Su Yue's conflicted eyes and asked, "What can't you control? Are you afraid I'll nag you then?"

Seeing that Wang Linlin didn't understand what he meant, Su Yue leaned close to her ear and whispered something. Wang Linlin's face immediately turned red, and she said shyly, "You... you, what are you thinking!"

After saying that, she ran ahead and left with Li Si and Zheng Ziye. Su Yue watched Wang Linlin's shy appearance, slowly followed them, and secretly held Wang Linlin's hand again, thinking to himself, "Don't worry, there's not much time left, we'll finish soon."

Wang Linlin looked at Su Yue's suddenly determined eyes, not knowing what bad things he was thinking, and could only step on his foot.

On the other side, Minsweite was still carefully pondering Su Yue's words at home.

Su Yue reminded himself to control the Federal Court and manage the development of the entire Federal Court well. Was he implying that there was an insider in the Federal Court?

If Su Yue knew Minsweite was thinking this way, he would definitely want to hit his head against a wall. He was originally just simply reminding Minsweite to control the Federal Court well, but Minsweite misunderstood.

This... was truly unexpected!

The next day, Su Yue woke up and found that this wasn't his home. Wang Linlin woke up earlier than him and was already making breakfast.

"Director, hurry, hurry, look, today's newspaper is out!" Li Si looked at the newly awakened Su Yue, understanding in his heart that a lot must have happened last night, even though he slept like a pig.

"What's wrong?" Su Yue finished washing up, sat down at the dining table, and picked up the newspaper Li Si handed him. He didn't expect the front page headlines to all be the same news.

"President Announces Minsweite's Election, Our Biggest Winner."

Many people couldn't believe this was the final outcome. Several media outlets even opened a special section to cater to the public's curiosity, explaining why Minsweite was able to ascend to the presidential throne.

"Director, what are we going to do now?" Li Si drank his soy milk, not knowing what Su Yue's next plan was.

Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any plans recently, I want to get some good rest." He said with a smile. No one knew how big of a scheme he had laid out to get this candidate into this position.

"Then, Director, let's go out and have some fun, relax a bit, how about it? Let's take Uncle Zheng and have a good time. To be honest, I've been here for so many years, always cooped up in that little place, I have no idea what the United States is really like now." Li Si suggested.

"Ask Uncle Zheng and Sister Linlin. If they're okay with it, then we can go out and relax. It'll also help Uncle Zheng's recovery to travel with us." Su Yue nodded, agreeing with Li Si's suggestion. There really wasn't much going on recently, and according to his plan, it wasn't time to make a move yet.

"Sister Linlin, how about we go out and have some fun? Taking Uncle Zheng with us will also help his recovery!" Li Si said happily to Wang Linlin.

Wang Linlin looked at Li Si's happy expression and couldn't help but laugh herself, saying, "I can, you go ask your Director and Uncle Zheng!"

"My Director has agreed, oh, so now I have to go convince our Uncle Zheng!" Li Si looked like he was full of mischief, wanting to tease his Uncle Zheng.

"Uncle, what are you doing? Aren't you coming downstairs to eat?" Li Si knocked on the door and shouted.

"What? Why are you being so solicitous? What do you want with me?" Zheng Ziye opened the door and saw Li Si looking at him with a mischievous smile.

"Uncle, do you want to go out and have some fun?" Li Si said directly.

"I'm already this old, I'm not going, I'm not going. You young people go." Zheng Ziye was just about to go downstairs for breakfast when Li Si came up first and blocked his way down.

"Uncle, did you come here just to see the Chinatown here? You haven't even seen the real United States!" Li Si looked at Zheng Ziye, wanting to properly persuade this stubborn Uncle.
