Chapter 301: March 28, 2018, the date marked in red

Some hints of disgruntlement in his tone made Tang Xiaohua feel at a loss. She pursed her lips and tried to change the subject,

"Your Excellency, your schedule for today is...?"

"Your Excellency will attend an interview on an online program today. Together with the Vice President, it’s also considered a warm-up for the first campaign speech,"

Qu Yu said.

Tang Xiaohua nodded.

Elections and all that, she knew Wen Nian wouldn’t have any problems, as this president, who began his tenure at twenty-six and had been reelected three times... over those years, to the people of G country, was like an emperor.

The first campaign speech was on the last day of January, followed by the cutthroat competition between the two presidential candidates. She vividly remembered Vice President Zhuo Ting’s unseemly eagerness to get ahead in the great election.

Through hype, continuously manufacturing scandals for Wen Nian and specifically attacking the national projects that hadn’t been completed during Wen Nian’s term and the policies that had caused adverse effects.

Scene by scene, it was a repeat of their past life’s events.

She was still just a bystander.

The second campaign speech was on the last day of February.

Before that, Wen Nian’s campaign was going smoothly. Although Vice President Zhuo Ting’s performance wasn’t bad, the provisional results of the representative votes from various provinces and cities compiled by the statistics office indicated that Wen Nian’s vote count was nearly a million higher than Zhuo Ting’s.

Zhuo Ting was already forty-nine that year. For a democratic and free country like G country, if Zhuo Ting was defeated this time, then the highest achievement of his lifetime would probably be just the Vice President.

To the ordinary person, it was an unattainable dream, but for Zhuo Ting, not sitting in that position meant his life was a failure!

Once the second campaign speech was over, March had arrived.

In the residential area’s banquet hall, numerous politicians and business figures came to celebrate Wen Nian’s birthday, celebrating his direct election vote count far surpassing Zhuo Ting’s.

Wen Nian’s campaign think tank was filled with people of top-level IQ and EQ, each one a capable person willing to serve Wen Nian. In contrast, Zhuo Ting had wide connections and an excellent reputation, but during the four years of Wen Nian’s term, the entire Cabinet had been purged. Here in the President Mansion, those from the Vice President’s faction were few and far between.

It wasn’t apparent on ordinary days, but during the grand election, it became clear at a glance.

In such circumstances, Tang Xiaohua wasn’t suited to continue close protection, so she rotated shifts with the other security guards.

The first half was guarded by Song Yangling’s team.

In the fire escape of the second-floor banquet hall, Tang Xiaohua sat on the stairs, with her little notebook in hand.

The page she had opened was marked with a date: March 28, 2018.

The date was circled in red.

Tang Xiaohua sighed deeply...

Last time, she had listed all the major domestic disasters she remembered with their times and locations and mailed them anonymously to the National Geological Research Institute and to G country’s National Meteorological Bureau.

Possibly taken as a prank and thrown away.

Possibly it was taken seriously, adopting the attitude that it’s better to believe it and be wrong than to dismiss it and be wrong.

She had done what she could do.

And this time...

Tang Xiaohua looked at the date she had circled in red.

March 28 was her and Wen Nian’s birthday. On March 28, 2018, just like every past year, they prepared a large cake with exactly 54 candles.

for her, 30 for Wen Nian.

It was also their wedding anniversary.

They secretly held a grand celebration banquet.

Right there in the main bedroom of the President Mansion residential area, that bedroom with a skylight and a ceiling covered with red bellflowers.

They ate cake, tumbled in the sheets, and seemingly not satisfied, she suddenly suggested going to the movies.

Without a word, Wen Nian agreed, and they changed into casual clothes to see the eight o’clock movie.

And after that, something that shocked the entire nation happened—the President was kidnapped.
