Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1164: She Can’t Bear to See Song Baiyan Suffer the Same Fate
Only in Siam can Isa possibly refrain from implicating Song Baiyan further.
In his previous life, Isa dragged Song Baiyan into the water mainly because Song Baiyan ordered his arrest.
At that time, it coincided with an impeachment case.
The arrested Isa naturally became a pawn in the hands of some people.
But now, Jiang Yunxi, who might jump out to expose Song Baiyan’s relatives interfering in politics, unknown where she’s drifting at sea, is actually becoming a handle for the opposition to attack Song Baiyan.
Tang Li knew Han Jifeng was not being alarmist.
The factional struggle is a life-and-death battle without bloodshed.
Li Hao is a ready example.
Twenty years ago, Li Hao lost the struggle and was imprisoned in the base for seven whole years.
She cannot watch Song Baiyan suffer a similar fate.
Even if the systems of S Country and Siam are different, with Song Baiyan holding the power to mobilize the three armies, who can guarantee he won’t be betrayed at the last minute?
This kind of thing has not never happened in history.
In the end, Tang Li dialed Li Ruan’s number.
Siam, Chiang Mai Prefecture, Hospital.
Li Ruan’s cellphone rang as soon as he came out of the advanced ward.
When Kun found out Tang Li had escaped back to S Country, Li Ruan took the task from Kun to head north and capture Tang Li. Later, he returned to Siam with Hong Tai, and because of an arm injury, he didn’t hurry back to Shan State. He took this opportunity to report to Li Hao about some situations in Northern Myanmar.
Unexpectedly, news of Kun’s arrest came yesterday.
Li Hao, seeing the related report, showed satisfaction and said a remark with emotion.
"No matter how cunning the old eagle is, once it fixates on prey, it will choose to fall even knowing it’s a trap."
He knew that the old eagle mentioned by Li Hao was Song Baiyan.
After years of planning, Li Hao realized that it was ultimately not as effective as a beauty trap.
A fool for love ignores everything.
With S Country’s current national strength, as the commander of the three armies, Song Baiyan could easily do something in the Golden Triangle if he wished.
Song Baiyan cared for beauty, yet he never abused his power.
Willing to take risks for beauty, yet never publicly vent his anger on the entire Golden Triangle because of it.
However, is this really the case?
Li Hao, reflecting on himself——
Isa’s men kidnapped Tang Li, and Song Baiyan must have been displeased.
Otherwise, why initiate an anti-drug operation now?
Song Baiyan didn’t interfere in others’ affairs; he merely used the drug crackdown to tighten the import strategy on the Southwest Border.
But everyone knows that the economies of Myanmar, Siam, and Laos heavily rely on S Country.
Especially in terms of fruit exports.
Lai Wenyan and his wife being rescued so quickly was the result of cooperation from all parties in Myanmar, Siam, and Laos with S Country’s rescue operation.
Isa was hiding in Nanbang, yet S Country wanted to capture his subordinate. He couldn’t possibly not be informed.
But Nanwa Army never intervened from beginning to end.
Whether Isa chose to sacrifice his subordinate to save himself, or because Nanwa’s armed forces were afraid of S Country, in the end, the drug lord named Kun was indeed abandoned by them.
It’s far easier for S Country to capture a drug lord than any party in Myanmar, Siam, or Laos.
Just before Li Ruan left the ward, Li Hao spoke again suddenly: "Do you think Song Baiyan found out that it was actually my people who kidnapped Lai Wenyan and his wife?"
Facing this eighty-year-old man’s spirited, smiling eyes, Li Ruan answered truthfully: "He should know by now."
Lai Wenyan and his wife were delivered to Kun by Li Hao himself.
Kun saw them and assumed it was Ruan’s work.
Song Baiyan is no fool.
Even if he initially presumed Kun was repeating old tricks, by the time S Country’s action team went to Northern Myanmar, he should roughly realize there’s Li Family’s handiwork involved.
Even so, Song Baiyan still had Kun apprehended.
Just like an eagle cannot resist prey’s lure, heroes too falter at beauties’ gates.
A figure as high-ranked as Song Baiyan despises being schemed against.
Yet, a beauty can dissolve this displeasure.
Even inspiring a hero to willingly fall into the trap.
And this beauty comes from their Chiang Mai Prefecture Li Family.
Perhaps there is fate mysteriously guiding things.
Li Shen died in S Country.
His innocence shall also be vindicated by this nation.
Everything seems to be unfolding as Li Hao imagined, as long as he’s patient enough to wait.
With Li Ruan’s understanding of Kun, Kun will inevitably testify against Isa as the mastermind for a reduced sentence.
Whether or not Song Baiyan will make another move remains to be seen then.
If it comes to that point, he could offer the entire Li Family with open hands.
Song Baiyan is indeed a statesman, but he is also a businessman. The century of wealth accumulated by the Li Family in Siam is a giant entity, and when the opportunity comes to acquire it, few politicians wouldn’t covet it.
The financial strength of the Li Family has been his talisman for life.
That monarch in Chitralada Palace, if not fearing that once he died accidentally the Li Family would withdraw from Siam, resulting in national economic decline that he couldn’t bear, how would he have only imprisoned him back then?
It’s just unclear—— 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
How long will Song Baiyan’s affection for Tang Li last?
Men’s affection can be generous, but it can also be quickly rescinded.
When Song Baiyan is no longer generous, will he still hold onto those old affections?
As for Tang Li, as the only defector of the Li Family, her insufficient sense of belonging ensures she wouldn’t give her all for the Li Family.
Li Hao just put away the family photo when Li Ruan returned.
Li Ruan holding a phone, informed——
"Tang Li said she has something to discuss with you."
Half an hour later, Tang Li hung up the phone.
"Your uncle Supa is currently the governor of Chiang Mai Prefecture. Next Tuesday, he’s scheduled to lead a delegation to visit Ha City in S Country, and at that time, you will return to Chiang Mai with him."
Li Hao’s instruction echoed in Tang Li’s ears.
She put away her cellphone, then got up and headed for the walk-in closet.
Tang Li opened the innermost wardrobe door and took out two marriage certificates from the middle drawer.
Each marriage certificate was stamped with the Civil Affairs Bureau’s steel seal.
This steel seal represents the validity of marriage.
Tang Li gathered the marriage certificates, left the closet, and went outside to find Aunt Min.
Once she decided to do something, she wouldn’t delay.
At that time, Aunt Min was in the kitchen overseeing the staff preparing lunch.
When Tang Li asked for Meng’s Mother’s contact information, Aunt Min also inquired about the reason.
Tang Li replied, "A classmate and her boyfriend got engaged and plan to get their license before graduation. They’re asking if I know anyone in the Civil Affairs Bureau to consult some questions."
Xiao Minglan often interacts with her sister-in-law Su Lai.
Therefore, Aunt Min had the Su sisters’ numbers.
Tang Li noted the cellphone number, left the kitchen, and contacted Meng’s mother.
Receiving her call, Su Mei was surprised.
Using the pretext of a friend impulsively marrying and then planning to divorce, Tang Li asked to meet Su Mei to discuss certain aspects of the divorce cooling-off period. Su Mei didn’t suspect anything and arranged for them to meet at 1:30 in the afternoon.
Tang Li still had lunch at Tan Palace.
Just as the tableware was set, Song Baiyan entered the dining room.
Tang Li took it upon herself to serve the rice.
As she served several bowls of rice, she heard Xiao Minglan mention to Song Baiyan, "Your fifth cousin’s wife just called me, saying that Song Ye went out for late-night snacks with friends last night and accidentally hit someone."
