Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 1790 - 1789: Dispute Between Both Sides
After the ceremonial salute, Di Mingchen slightly curled his lips and spoke, "Your Excellency, forgive my presumptuous question, what is the situation here? Are these individuals under your command planning to act against my brother?"
Dan Youguo was truly holding in a stifling frustration, so angry he wanted to stomp his feet, yet he couldn’t do so.
At this point, Jin Yan finally couldn’t hold back and said angrily, "This is a governmental affair, seemingly irrelevant to your jurisdiction. Di Mingzhe is a government official; he abused his private power to detain a citizen, the President needs to personally intervene. This murky water is not something you should wade into!"
"Oh?" Di Mingchen raised his eyebrow with a slight sneer, "I have no right to intervene, but these guards are under my command, I believe I have the authority to direct them."
"You!" Jin Yan’s eyes reddened with anger, biting out through gritted teeth after stifling for a while, "Di Mingchen, stop being so unreasonable! Standing before you is the President! You won’t even listen to the President’s orders, is it you who wants a revolt or is it your team?"
"Don’t put such a big label on me." Di Mingchen suddenly cooled his face and said, "The Empire’s team is loyal to the entire Empire, not to any individual. I only manage my subordinates, if they recklessly accept orders, I wouldn’t be gentle with them. We use taxpayers’ money, responsible for protecting the people’s assets, and don’t casually accept unreasonable orders!"
"Since you use taxpayers’ money, shouldn’t you be involved when our citizen is detained without cause for three days?" Jin Yan asked assertively, and then added, "Or are you being corrupt because this person is your brother?"
Faced with Jin Yan’s aggressive questioning, Di Mingchen narrowed his eyelids, almost wanting to say ’Yes, I am being corrupt, what can you do about it?’
After thinking, Di Mingchen looked at Dan Lingling, then turned to Jin Yan and said, "Madam Dan is referring to Miss Dan’s incident, correct?"
"Indeed." Jin Yan openly admitted, "Lingling was wrongfully detained by Di Mingzhe for three days, which is already an infringement on her human rights. We demand an apology, but Di Mingzhe refuses, so we had no choice but to arrest him for a trial, even if he is the Vice President, he shouldn’t have special privileges!"
This Jin Yan is determined to fight back for Dan Lingling, more about an unwillingness to accept that her husband, as President, was so controlled by the Vice President. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
What’s more unbearable is that Di Mingzhe didn’t marry Dan Lingling, not only that, he humiliated her!
"I was present at that incident," Di Mingchen responded, "Unfortunately, I know the whole story, publicly, Miss Dan abruptly blocking the Vice President’s path constitutes a severe threat to his personal safety. Who can guarantee that Miss Dan is merely an innocent citizen? What if she’s a spy?"
Privately, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, suffering in pain waiting for her husband’s companionship, while Miss Dan personally intercepted my brother’s path, disregarding multiple attempts at persuasion. I feel my brother detaining her was a normal action, where is the wrongful detention? Moreover, I was present, and the order was executed by my people. If it infringed Miss Dan’s rights, I would have spoken up; since I didn’t it must mean there was no infringement, it was an authorized, rational, and lawful detention."
"Twisting logic!" Jin Yan’s face flushed with indignation, "Not only twisting logic, but you’re also confusing the perspective. Are you saying that as long as you were present, Di Mingzhe’s actions were completely legal and legitimate?"
"Certainly." Di Mingchen responded unabashedly, "Is Madame Dan questioning my abilities? Thinking I would condone them executing orders they shouldn’t execute?"
