Chapter 1237: Ji Yingjie Appears

Everyone teased him for a while.

But joking aside, the President's face still had to be given.

Wang Yong still went to the Presidential Palace, but before leaving, he told his people: "If I haven't come out in twenty-four hours, you all run to Jiangzhou."

A subordinate said: "Don't worry, Boss. If you don't come out in five hours, we'll take explosives to the Presidential Palace to demand you back."

Wang Yong thought about it, then agreed.

He agreed because Qi Heng's current foundation could not shake him in the slightest.

Otherwise, it would be like last time, when he was locked in Prison; not only did he escape without anyone knowing, but he also mocked him severely, becoming a laughingstock to the whole world.

The Presidential Palace.

Wang Yong swaggered inside.

Not only was he not locked up like last time, but he was treated as an honored guest and received excellent hospitality.

Qi Heng stood up from his seat and said with a face full of smiles: "Uncle Wang, please sit, please sit."

He gave the most honorable seat to Wang Yong; this was the highest etiquette for guests in L Country!

But Wang Yong did not appreciate it.

He sat down casually and spoke sarcastically: "Yo, I dare not accept the President's hospitality. If you turn around and charge me with treason and throw me back into Prison, these old arms and legs of mine won't be able to take it."

Qi Heng felt his teeth itch with hatred.

He thought to himself, you are as strong as an elephant, and you have old arms and legs? And you can't take it?

He could think this in his heart, but he did not reveal a shred of it on his face.

He respectfully and properly performed two ninety-degree bows according to the etiquette of a junior to an elder (three times is for worshipping the dead).

Qi Heng's tone was very sincere as he apologized to Wang Yong: "Uncle Wang, it was my fault for locking you in Prison last time. It is one hundred percent my responsibility, but please, for the sake of me losing my parents at the time and being misled and instigated by Liu Quan, forgive me this one time."

Wang Yong didn't make a sound, but his heart softened.

He was naturally the type of person who eats soft but not hard.

Although the incident last time was a wrongful accusation, he escaped prison and even insulted Qi Heng on a global live stream, and it was later left unsettled, which could be considered not bad.

Now that Qi Heng had lowered his posture so much, it was only human nature for Wang Yong to be moved.

Qi Heng maintained the bowing posture and did not get up.

Three minutes passed.

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

He remained motionless, but sweat began to appear on his face.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Beads of sweat on Qi Heng's forehead kept falling onto the floor; Wang Yong didn't speak, and he still showed no signs of preparing to stand up.

"Alright, get up. This is your office, there's no one else here, who are you putting on this show for?" Wang Yong saying this was equivalent to forgiveness.

But Qi Heng still didn't get up. He said sincerely: "Uncle Wang, I know there are only the two of us here, so I am not putting on a show for anyone. I only need to be worthy of my own conscience. Above, I am worthy of my heavenly father and parents; below, I am worthy of the earthly mother and the people. A clear conscience is enough."

"Hurry and get up. Since you already have a clear conscience, it doesn't matter if others forgive you or not." Wang Yong was a bit moved and personally helped him up.

Only then did Qi Heng straighten his body, and the two sat down on the sofa as host and guest.

"Uncle Wang, I recently obtained a tea cake. You are knowledgeable and experienced, please taste if the flavor is authentic."

Qi Heng personally began to prepare the utensils, rinse the cups, add the tea... the whole set of movements was as smooth and practiced as flowing water.

Very quickly.

After pouring the tea, a cup of clear tea was placed in front of Wang Yong.

Qi Heng raised his cup: "Uncle Wang, I use tea instead of wine to apologize to you once again." After speaking, he drank it in one gulp.

Actually, the apology was secondary; the main thing was to show his sincerity to Wang Yong, proving that there was no poison in the teacup.

Wine cups can be poisoned; there are Mother-Child Pots.

But this kind of matching tea set cannot be; if there were poison, both would be poisoned.

Wang Yong also picked up his teacup and drank it in one gulp: "Good tea."

He didn't think about anything complicated; to put it bluntly, he simply couldn't imagine that a national president would try to poison him.

What is there to be afraid of?

If he poisons me, I'll just fight him!

Qi Heng immediately brewed the second infusion, and while pouring the tea, he said mysteriously: "Uncle Wang, I know from what location one can enter the Ji Family. Are you interested?"

Wang Yong's heart skipped a beat.

He blurted out: "How do you know that?"

After saying this, he realized his mouth was too fast and his brain hadn't kept up.

The way he said that, didn't it clearly imply that he also knew how to find a way to enter the Ji Family?

Fortunately, Qi Heng didn't ask.

He smiled slightly: "Uncle Wang, I can't be a president for nothing, right?"

"Right, that's right."

Qi Heng finally got to the main point: "Uncle Wang, because of the incident last time, I have always felt guilty toward you and the uncle and aunt of the Sheng Family. I have always wanted to do something to make up for my past mistakes. How about this?"

"If you want to go to the Ji Family to find Zhu Qingrui and take revenge for the Sheng Family, I can lend you a helping hand."

"Starting from L Country, our geographical location is the best. If you need manpower or firearms and ammunition, I can provide them unconditionally. As long as I have them, take as much as you want."

This was said very magnanimously, and Wang Yong was indeed tempted.

But he was cautious and did not agree immediately.

Instead, he said he would go back and consider it.

Qi Heng personally saw him out of the Presidential Palace.

The first thing Wang Yong did after returning was to call his big brother to report this matter to Sheng Hanyu.

Sheng Hanyu refused point-blank: "You cannot agree to him; he is trying to use you as a pawn."

"Alright, Brother, I understand; I will decline immediately."

Hanging up the phone, Sheng Hanyu said to his wife with great certainty: "Aunt must be in Qi Heng's hands."

Shi Youxuan nodded, her brows furrowed into a frown.

If Aunt were not in Qi Heng's hands, Wang Yong's phone call would be difficult to explain.

They suspected that Ji Yingjie had been tortured by Qi Heng to force the address of the Ji Family out of her.

L Country has many underhanded methods.

Back then, when Qi Heng's father became Vice President, it was not honorable either; he used many methods that could not see the light of day.

Qi Heng is becoming more and more like his father, and even worse.

If Aunt is in Qi Heng's hands, how did he manage to get her out?

Stop all work at hand here for now; if the hypothesis holds true, Aunt has already been taken to L Country by Qi Heng using someone else's methods, and it would be useless even if they dug three feet into the ground in Jiangzhou.

"Ring, ring..."

Just as the two were feeling overwhelmed, a video call came from home.

It was nothing more than a call from the children.

No matter how busy she is, Shi Youxuan talks to the children every day to check in on each other.

Many of the words spoken seem like nonsense, but they represent mutual care and concern!

However, today was not about checking in.

Ji Yingjie's face appeared on the screen.

She was sitting at the dining table, eating and drinking heartily, wolfing down her food.

While eating, she said vaguely: "Come back, stop messing around outside, come back quickly."

"Aunt?"

"Aunt?"

The couple spoke in unison, their tones full of doubt.
