Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce

Chapter 35: 035 Another heavy bomb

Two days passed, and it was the day of the entrance exam at Xilin Military Academy.

At the President Mansion, Mr. President was not idle either. After concluding the Cabinet meeting, he returned to his office past twelve noon. He switched on the television on the wall and tuned it directly to Xilin’s local channel.

Ever since Song Lili boarded the train for Xilin, Wen Nian had been closely monitoring the situation in Xilin, particularly the progress of the riot in Xilin.

Even in places where he couldn’t reach momentarily, he wanted to ensure her safety as much as possible.

As long as the leader of the riot was not arrested, his heart remained in suspense.

It seemed almost predestined, as though something was bound to happen—

Indeed, on the day of the entrance exam at Xilin Military Academy, the riot in Xilin threw another bombshell!

"The examination venues of Xilin Military Academy are all evacuated, the engineer corps is conducting a carpet search for mines, and miniature bombs have already been found in five venues."

Wen Nian had not even sat down when he heard this news on TV.

The site of the incident at Xilin Military Academy was enough to unsettle Wen Nian.

Pressing the button on the telephone,

"What can I do for you, sir?"

"Call Long Hongzhuo and Liu Yuankai to my office."

"Right now?"

"Right now!"

Wen Nian’s voice deepened over the phone, tensing the atmosphere at the President’s Secretariat!

The broadcast on TV continued, and Wen Nian picked up his mobile phone to call Song Lili. One call, two calls... no answer.

"According to the military’s top brass, the culprits who entered the academy are the same leaders who instigated the Xilin riot. Currently, the criminal has taken a student hostage and has fled the academy, their whereabouts unknown. The military is actively pursuing, and the Xilin police have dispatched manpower to investigate intensively."

"Mr. President, you called for us?"

Entering one after the other were Long Hongzhuo, the Great General of Country G, and Liu Yuankai, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Wen Nian pointed to the TV, and as the two followed his gesture and glanced at the screen, even without looking, they were aware it was about Xilin’s situation.

"General Long, I reminded you five days ago to exert some pressure on Xilin Military Region, to bring a swift end to the riot in Xilin. It’s been five days, Long Hongzhuo, and this was the task I assigned to you."

Wen Nian’s tone was not loud, yet it was forceful. This young President, facing Long Hongzhuo, an over fifty-year-old veteran national military officer, held a powerful presence without a trace of timidity.

Long Hongzhuo took a deep breath,

"Sir, I did as you instructed. However, Xilin has its own pace, it’s not something I can change just by applying some pressure."

"Fine, if you don’t have the ability, then I’ll find someone who does to take the position of Great General."

After Wen Nian spoke, Long Hongzhuo’s face turned red with embarrassment, and even Liu Yuankai beside him became uneasy.

The riot in Xilin was no trivial matter, but to say it was severe enough to influence the fate of a national Great General seemed excessive.

"Liu Yuankai, what is the current progress on Xilin’s side, and why didn’t you report this morning’s incident in time?"

"Sir... I thought there was no need to especially alarm you."

"But this incident has already alarmed the entire nation."

Liu Yuankai pursed his lips, not daring to say more.

"If this criminal is not arrested by the end of today, you should both resign on your own."
