Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce
Chapter 269 - 272, do you really think he will take your life?

Chapter 269: 272, do you really think he will take your life?

Qu Yu’s voice came from outside the cave entrance, and Tang Xiaohua snapped back to reality, quickly crawling out from under Wen Nian,

"Quick, let’s get out!"

Tang Xiaohua stammered briefly, urging Wen Nian.

She didn’t mention the quake just then, the quake that seemed like a cruel joke played by the heavens!

Wen Nian, dragging his injured leg, crawled out and Qu Yu immediately had the paramedics come forward to carry Wen Nian into the rescue tent.

Tang Xiaohua followed, her steps heavy and hesitant... for a moment, her vision blurred...

She was covered in dust, her pants torn by the steel rebars among the bricks, unavoidably bearing several scratches, watching the man being carried into the tent... her heart raced like the beating of drums.

Tang Xiaohua sat dazedly outside the tent on a small mound, guarding the tent and looking out over the ruins...

People say that it’s during times of crisis that one can truly see someone’s sincerity.

She understood this too, it was like a reflex...

But was that Wen Nian’s true sincerity, could it be so easily discerned...

If the aftershock had been stronger, if the boulders had fallen on Wen Nian, she didn’t know if she would have died here, but Wen Nian would.

...

Half an hour later, Qu Yu came out of the tent, saw Tang Xiaohua sitting on the mound outside the tent guarding it, and walked over.

Tang Xiaohua turned her head, saw Qu Yu, and asked,

"How is he?"

"The two pieces of glass have been removed, the doctor has bandaged him, and he’ll need to take care of the wound from now on."

"That’s good."

Tang Xiaohua responded flatly.

Qu Yu took a deep breath, sat beside her, and followed Tang Xiaohua’s gaze into the distance...

"You shouldn’t blame yourself, although I feel you didn’t completely fulfill your duty as a personal bodyguard, but who can blame you? He is the President, you had to protect him while also following his orders."

Tang Xiaohua took a deep breath, and after a long pause, asked,

"Why... was he so eager to come to the disaster area? He is a Head of State, there was no need to take such a large risk."

"Just as you’re thinking, during the election period, doing something radical or even deceitful and harsh to win public approval or to defeat a political opponent is actually quite common."

Qu Yu said this, and Tang Xiaohua’s brow furrowed,

"So he was doing it for..."

"Let me finish," Qu Yu interrupted Tang Xiaohua. "But the person who would do such despicable deeds isn’t Lord Wen Nian."

"..."

"He risked coming here just to ensure that the rescue operations were implemented as quickly as possible, to prevent certain people from using this disaster for political strife."

Qu Yu explained, yet Tang Xiaohua couldn’t comprehend immediately and looked at Qu Yu skeptically...

"To put it plainly, this disaster is a challenge and a hard test for the current President, who is aiming for re-election. If the scope of the disaster and the number of victims continued to expand, and the execution of the rescue wasn’t carried through, the public would only blame Mr. President."

"And these, are what Mr. President’s political enemies would like to see."

"..."

Tang Xiaohua pursed her lips, her expression going stiff.

"Tang Xiaohua, you really shouldn’t think so poorly of Mr. President... Many may misunderstand him, but you, of all people, shouldn’t hurt him."

"..."

"Secretary Qu."

"Yes?"

"I haven’t forgotten, three years ago, on the night of Wen Liangyu’s birthday, who personally pressed the Detonator that blew up the car I was supposed to be in."

Tang Xiaohua looked at Qu Yu.

"..."

"I don’t know, between you and what Mr. President says, how many words are true and how many are lies."

Qu Yu furrowed his brows, "Do you really believe... that Mr. President would want your life?"

Tang Xiaohua stood up, her gaze fixed directly on Qu Yu...
