Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce-Chapter 414 - 408 There should be a limit to absurdity, right? (3000 words)

Chapter 414: 408 There should be a limit to absurdity, right? (3000 words)

"Ah Nian, right now... I really want to cry... I truly feel the urge to cry... If I cry right now, will you laugh at me?"

Song Lili said, her tears already falling from the corners of her eyes.

Wen Nian’s heart tightened; he knew he hadn’t done enough.

He held her tight and kissed her forehead deeply, "I’m sorry, Xiao Li, I came too slowly... really too slowly..."

When Wen Nian said that, her heart felt even worse,

"How can that be? You arrived just in time, so perfectly."

Song Lili grasped Wen Nian’s hand.

Wen Nian whispered,

"Don’t be sad. You wanted to be strong, to run through gunfire and rain of bullets, and now you’re scared?"

Song Lili smiled faintly and shook her head,

"I’m a soldier, how could I cry simply out of fear?"

"Then what is it for?"

Song Lili closed her eyes, burying her entire face in Wen Nian’s embrace; her voice muffled against his crisp military uniform,

"Because... of Wen Nian."

"..."

"Thank you, Ah Nian."

"..."

Wen Nian took a deep breath, tightly wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

Even without asking for details, everyone knew in their hearts how difficult this reunion was.

...

Eight people, two military off-road vehicles, speeding through the mountains.

Zhongli Wuzhi sat in the back seat, allowing Lu Xiaoer to sleep on his legs.

Their hands were tightly clasped together.

Lu Xiaoer had her eyes closed but could not fall peacefully asleep, unsure whether it was due to her still frail body or because... her nerves were still too tense to relax.

Her eyelids twitched rapidly.

Images from the past two days that they experienced appeared in the dark.

Zhongli Wuzhi knew Little Ear was not sleeping peacefully, and how could he be any different?

However...

They had, after all, managed to pass through all dangers without harm.

Driving was Cong Han, with Feng Hua sitting in the passenger seat.

"Mr. President personally came here, how many people did he bring?"

Zhongli Wuzhi casually asked, "The place we went to before seemed to be a rebel army stronghold."

He thought that since President Wen Nian had come personally, there should be at least a battalion of army troops or the forces equivalent to a navy ship, right?

That was on the conservative side. If there was to be a bigger commotion, then the scale would surely be several times more magnificent!

Feng Hua cleared his throat lightly; he glanced at Zhongli Wuzhi through the rearview mirror, hesitating whether to tell the truth.

After all, when they went into the cave to rescue the people, they nearly got accidentally injured by Zhongli Wuzhi, who was pushed to the edge by fear and tension.

After they rescued the people, Zhongli Wuzhi was in a state of shock and confusion for a good while.

Now he was slowly coming back to his senses, mainly because he had someone to rely on.

Zhongli Wuzhi was startled for a moment. He had asked for quite some time, yet neither of the two had answered him. This was a bit...

"Um... Is this supposed to be a classified matter?"

Zhongli Wuzhi thought to himself that this must be the only reason.

Cong Han wasn’t as thoughtful as Feng Hua. Seeing that Feng Hua didn’t respond, he simply said,

"Mr. Zhongli, everyone is here; with Mr. President, that makes five of us in total."

"Right, five people, f-five people?!"

Zhongli Wuzhi sat up in shock, nearly causing Lu Xiaoer, who was lying on his legs, to tumble down!

He hurriedly steadied Lu Xiaoer,

"Say that again; how many people came?"

Seeing Zhongli Wuzhi react so strongly, Cong Han started to regret being... so blunt.

"Mr. Zhongli, although there are only five of us, please rest assured, we will safely escort you and Miss Lu back to our country."

"That’s impossible, it can’t be; President Wen Nian is here... our comrades must be hiding somewhere, right?"

Zhongli Wuzhi speculated to himself,

"Right, this is still the war-torn M country, after all. Our countrymen can’t just come in so openly without causing an international dispute, yes, I understand that, no problem."

"..."

Feng Hua and Cong Han glanced at each other, thought it over, and decided not to say anything else. They let Zhongli Wuzhi guess as he pleased.

Saying more would only scare him anyway.

The car fell silent for several minutes until, after a long while, Zhongli Wuzhi spoke again, his narrow, fox-like eyes intently fixed on the two men in front,

"Really... is it just the few of you?"

"Mr. Zhongli, you said it yourself, the situation in M country is chaotic. If our country’s military, even just the rescue and evacuation troops, were involved, it would cause an international dispute."

"..."

Zhongli Wuzhi was speechless. He listened to the words of the two men in front as if they were telling a story, except they were the protagonists of the story.

"President Wen Nian had been negotiating with the government of M for a long time and even offered generous conditions before they finally allowed us to enter."

"Even so, the number of people was limited, only five soldiers were allowed to enter the territory, and all the weaponry had to be provided by them. We had to disarm completely when we crossed the border."

Feng Hua explained patiently to Zhongli Wuzhi.

"Then... Mr. President came just like that? Could the Cabinet agree? Could those ministers agree?!"

"This... we’re not sure, but when we left the President Mansion, only a few people knew, and after arriving at the military airport, Mr. President didn’t reveal his identity anymore..."

Feng Hua speculated,

"So I guess, Mr. President took a risk by coming here, and probably only his confidants in the country knew."

Zhongli Wuzhi felt like the whole world had gone mad!

"You... do you realize how insane that rebel army is..."

"Indeed... there’s too little information coming out of M, and there hasn’t been much time, but just considering Caesar was destroyed by a third overnight and that the rebel forces are still seizing Caesar... they are indeed savage."

Cong Han said.

"Then how did you lock down this location? Do you realize that these mountains, linked together, might all be under the control of the rebel army?"

"Your and the Captain’s phones were always on, and although signals here had been stopped, it was not difficult for Mr. President to use satellite tracking to break through the blocked area. The movement of you and Captain Xiao Hua has always been under Lord Wen Nian’s surveillance."

"..."

Zhongli Wuzhi took a deep breath, thinking that this time, he had indeed benefited a lot from Song Lili’s influence.

Anyway, if Song Lili hadn’t come, and it was just him and Lu Xiaoer here, he didn’t have the confidence to get President Wen Nian to make so many risky and aggressive moves.

"Now that you’re very aware of the situation, then the retreat route should be... very clear, without any problems, right?"

Zhongli Wuzhi asked.

Somehow, his words carried a note of his unease.

Damn Lord Wen Nian, to make such a bold and preposterous move!

But even more damned was... if he hadn’t been so risky, so aggressive, without that recklessness to go all-out for Lili, regardless of the consequences.

He and Lu Xiaoer would have been dead by now.

The back that had stiffened from shock was now slowly relaxing.

After all, no matter how bold and brave President Wen Nian was, he ought to have some limits.

"To tell the truth... there isn’t one," Feng Hua cleared his throat and said.

"Pfft—!"

Zhongli Wuzhi nearly spit blood!

His fox-like eyes widened!

"No? Then where do we go now? Where are we heading to?"

Zhongli Wuzhi, startled, sat restlessly.

"Mr. Zhongli, please don’t get agitated."

"Putting aside my girlfriend’s life and mine, just think—"

"Pfft... cough cough!"

Zhongli Wuzhi, about to express his serious thoughts, was cut short when Lu Xiaoer, lying on his lap, was startled by his words and choked on her saliva.

"What girlfriend? Can you not take some responsibility for what you say?"

Zhongli Wuzhi glanced at her,

"Lu Xiaoer, do you think you have another choice? Keep resting! Don’t interrupt men when they’re talking."

Lu Xiaoer narrowed her eyes and punched Zhongli Wuzhi in the chest, then turned her head away, ignoring him.

Zhongli Wuzhi didn’t argue with her. He simply continued to ask, fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"How can you let Mr. President do as he pleases? If something happens to him here, do you want our country to become the next M?"

"Mr. Zhongli, you’re right to question this. So, in a moment, you can say these words to him personally."

Cong Han said.

"..."

Zhongli Wuzhi was left at a loss for words.

Feng Hua looked at Zhongli Wuzhi again.

Having seen so many traumatized and injured victims in war, he understood Zhongli’s extreme insecurity at this moment.

"Mr. Zhongli, I, Cong Han, Qin Shu in another vehicle, and Song Yangling are members of the Navy SEALs ’Osprey’ assault team."

"As for Captain Xiao Hua... no, now she should be addressed as the President’s wife, she’s the captain of the ’Osprey’ assault team, and even having left half a year ago, in our hearts, she will always be our captain."

"You’ve seen her capabilities yourself."

"As for the President..."

Feng Hua paused in his speech, the image of President Wen Nian charging and fighting the enemy flashing through his mind.

It was no exaggeration to say that the President’s combat prowess was not inferior to any of theirs and perhaps even surpassed it.

"I know that he used to be a soldier, but he’s been President for years now, and he should be protected properly!"

"Mr. Zhongli, I think... you underestimate President Wen Nian too much."

Feng Hua spoke calmly; he did not deliberately try to prove anything for Wen Nian. If the chance arose, Zhongli would see for himself,

"I’m saying this to reassure you, Mr. Zhongli. The President’s identity has always been kept a strict secret, and as long as his identity does not leak, with our survival skills and combat abilities, protecting both of you will not be a problem."

Lu Xiaoer quickly raised her hand,

"I’m... I’m also very formidable! I studied medicine! I’m injured now but I’ve recovered quite a bit!"

"Ha ha! Miss Lu is quite humorous too. If someone gets injured, Miss Lu can indeed take on the role of a military doctor, so... with seven of us protecting you, Mr. Zhongli, can you feel at ease now?"
