Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce-Chapter 403: Your Excellency’s insistence on going it alone, is it good or not?

Chapter 403: Your Excellency’s insistence on going it alone, is it good or not?

"Where’s her identification?"

Song Lili hurriedly explained, "Officer, she was just rescued from Angus Church. She doesn’t have any ID on her, so..."

"Without identification, we cannot verify your identities. You cannot pass, and not only that..."

"What’s the situation now? When she came to your country as a volunteer, there weren’t so many damn rules!"

Zhongli Wuzhi cursed outright.

"What did he say?"

The soldier furrowed his brows, unable to understand the language of G country, but just from Zhongli Wuzhi’s tone, he sensed that it was hardly anything pleasant.

Song Lili quickly said, "Nothing, he’s just asking if you could make an exception because our friend came to your country as a volunteer, and now she’s been seriously injured."

"No. Either you leave her behind or you all get out of the car."

Zhongli Wuzhi’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the barrier laid out in front of them, and Song Lili knew exactly what he was thinking after one glance. She warned him in a low voice, fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"I know what you’re thinking, drop the idea. If you try to rush through, I assure you, we’ll be blown to pieces by a rocket launcher."

"..."

"Leave it to me. I’ll handle it."

"Officer, do you know Major General Qiao Ke?"

"..." When Song Lili mentioned Qiao Ke, the soldier’s expression changed visibly.

"You can contact Major General Qiao Ke and tell him my surname is Tang."

The soldier looked at Song Lili more closely while she was also messaging Qiao Ke on her phone. After all, with Caesar City in such chaos, it wasn’t certain she could get in touch with Qiao Ke, but it was worth a try.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Ke called her back,

"Tang, hand your phone to the soldier. I’ll talk to him."

"Okay."

Song Lili heaved a sigh of relief, "It’s Major General Qiao Ke’s call."

The soldier took the phone with some disbelief, swallowing hard. He handled the conversation with great respect and constant agreement.

In a little while, he handed the phone back to Song Lili with both hands,

"I’m sorry, just following orders. Please understand."

"It’s alright," Song Lili said with a smile.

The soldier signaled, "Go ahead!"

Zhongli Wuzhi drove past the barrier, muttering,

"With the situation so urgent, they’re still checking everything so strictly, what are they looking for?"

"The more urgent the situation, the more we need to maintain order... They’re probably looking for rebel soldiers," guessed Song Lili.

She put the phone to her ear, feeling very thankful to Qiao Ke.

"I didn’t expect you would really rescue people..."

Qiao Ke said.

"If it weren’t for your arrangements and assistance, and the goodwill of the people of M country, I couldn’t have saved my friend. Thank you, Qiao Ke. If you ever need anything from me, I..."

"What if I tell you that I need you right now?"

Qiao Ke cut her off before she could finish speaking, speaking fast and seriously.

"..."

"Tang, if you can help me, the situation in Caesar could definitely..."

Qiao Ke’s words halted there for a moment, then he changed the subject, "I’m just speaking hypothetically, I know you only came to save your friend."

Song Lili took a deep breath,

"Qiao Ke, I’m sorry, I really can’t right now..."

"I understand. Travel safely. If you run into any troubles, find me." Qiao Ke said and then hung up.

He was standing in the Military Department’s command center, directing the government army of Caesar City.

Once on the highway, Zhongli Wuzhi and the others relaxed a great deal.

At least for now, there were no reports of unrest in other cities. Fortunately, with a car, they set straight for the coastal city Chuihai, where the evacuation of G country’s expatriates was underway.

Song Lili explained the situation to Wen Nian in detail,

"So far, it’s still optimistic, about Chuihai, can you arrange something for us?"

"I will send a warship there, to pick you up with a civilian ferry and bring you to the open sea, then onto the warship to take you home," Wen Nian said.

"Okay."

Song Lili replied, "I’m really tired, I want to sleep for a bit. According to the navigation, it will probably take over seven hours by road."

"Okay, you get some rest," Wen Nian told Lili, and then he asked Zhongli Wuzhi, "Ah Zhi, how about you?"

"Tired."

"Don’t drive when fatigued; you’ve moved away from the combat zone. You can take a proper break."

Wen Nian kept his gaze on their satellite positioning.

Who would have guessed Zhongli Wuzhi would say, "I’m physically exhausted, but I’m too keyed up. I can’t stay in this godforsaken place for a second."

"M country has gone completely chaotic. Alright, Ah Nian, I won’t keep you."

"Okay, we’ll talk when I’m back."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Nian propped his hands on the desk, finally allowing himself to breathe a sigh of relief.

It was a good thing to be away from the combat zone, away from Caesar.

Wen Nian glanced at the clock on the wall; it was one hour slower than M country.

At half-past midnight, the President Mansion’s building was still brightly lit.

And he had put on his Xilin Army Uniform, sitting in the leather chair, keeping an eye on their satellite location while waiting...

The office phone rang. Qu Yu’s voice came through,

"Mr. President, the ’Osprey’ assault team has arrived at the President Mansion. Should they report to the administrative building?"

"No need. I’ll come out."

"..."

Qu Yu remained silent for a moment, but Wen Nian already ended the conversation.

...

The members of the "Osprey" assault team, Qin Shu, Cong Han, Song Yangling, Feng Hua, and two other members stood in a line outside the administrative building.

Neat in their military gear, fully equipped.

Qu Yu stood to the side, having been escorted by the Police Department’s Long Siyan.

Not long after, the automatic doors of the administrative building opened, and Wen Nian stepped out. His appearance in full military gear surprised everyone waiting outside.

"Mr. President, six members of the ’Osprey’ assault team are reporting for duty."

Song Yangling stepped forward and saluted.

Wen Nian returned the salute, then briskly said, "Song Yangling, Qin Shu, Feng Hua, Cong Han, follow me. The other two will be under Minister Long’s responsibilities, to be taken to the Police Department."

Long Siyan, with his typically stern and somber face, looked displeased looking at Wen Nian in uniform,

"Mr. President, you are planning to..."

"Minister Long, remember the conversation we had that day."

"...I remember."

"Good, as long as you don’t forget," Wen Nian patted his shoulder and got into the military jeep parked behind them,

the remaining surprised individuals hardly had time to ask further and quickly got on board.

"To the military airport," Wen Nian ordered.

Song Yangling nodded, "Yes."

Qu Yu took a deep breath, "Minister Long, escort Mr. President to the airport!"

"Yes!"

With five people in the car, Wen Nian sat in the passenger seat, and apart from him, everyone else held their breath in focus, with only their eyes darting back and forth.

Qu Yu stood where he was, profoundly uneasy...

He always knew the President to be someone who plans meticulously for everything, and now he was increasingly reckless. Is this good, or is it bad?
