Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1184: I Can’t Let Him Be Distracted by Me Anymore
The press conference lasted twenty minutes.
The president’s speech took up seven to eight minutes.
The temporary news conference at Tan Palace was triggered by the incident involving Song Jingtian, but it was not the only reason.
First, Lai Wenyan and his wife were kidnapped, and now there’s an [explosion] incident—all happening in the capital, inevitably causing social unrest.
At this moment, Song Baiyan’s appearance is the best stabilizer.
At least it won’t make the public lose confidence in the current cabinet.
The incident happened to the president’s family. If Song Baiyan didn’t appear in public in time, people would surely speculate.
If not handled properly, it will definitely affect the normal operation of the country.
Now, the replay of the press conference is already online.
Tang Li saw Song Baiyan mention the Steinway accident and promise a thorough investigation, without restricting reporters’ questions or avoiding any doubts. She knew Song Baiyan changed his schedule to return to the capital to bring the situation under control.
In the speech video, when Song Baiyan heard the reporters mention Steinway, his expression remained calm.
Clearly—
At this press conference, Song Baiyan did not bring in any personal emotions.
When he faced the cameras, he played the role of the nation’s helmsman, not that of a family member mourning a tragic loss.
However, as a leader, no matter how flawless, he is still just human.
Song Baiyan can handle state affairs well, leaving no room for criticism, yet late at night when the responsibilities are lifted, he is still just an ordinary man in his thirties.
He will be exhausted, and he will feel sad over the loss of loved ones.
Tang Li suddenly felt apologetic.
As his wife, she should be by Song Baiyan’s side at this moment.
Even if she can’t help, she shouldn’t be so detached.
Tang Li dialed Yuan Qin’s number.
By the time Yuan Qin came to her room, Tang Li was already booking a flight.
There were still tickets available for the flight from Chiang Mai Prefecture to the capital of Siamese, and the soonest departure was at ten tomorrow night.
Yuan Qin also saw the news of the incident back home.
Seeing Second Master’s uncertain fate, he called the sir.
However, no one answered at that time.
Later when the sir returned the call, he told him to stay with the madam in Siamese.
Before the investigation results of the Steinway [explosion] incident are out, the sir didn’t plan to let the madam return home. If Second Master really... naturally, the madam would need to return for the funeral.
Precisely because the sir had given instructions, he hadn’t sought out Tang Li before.
Even if something happened at home, the sir still protects the madam, not letting her be troubled by it.
So, upon hearing Tang Li say she wanted to return home, Yuan Qin advised, "Wait until the case is closed, it won’t be too late for you to return then."
Tang Li still booked the ticket.
"When the case is closed, I will fly back to Chiang Mai Prefecture."
Her initial concerns began to fade at this moment.
Before Yuan Qin left, Tang Li specifically instructed, "Don’t tell sir about my return just yet."
"...He’s already busy enough, he shouldn’t be distracted by me."
Yuan Qin nodded, unusually not ’paying lip service.’
The next day, when Li Ruan appeared at the old house, Tang Li mentioned her plan to return to Siamese.
Li Ruan didn’t stop her, only asked, "Aren’t you waiting for the kinship identification document to come out?"
Tang Li: "For me, some things are more important."
The results of the kinship identification wouldn’t change because of her absence.
Knowing it was a midnight flight, Li Ruan offered to drive her, which Tang Li didn’t refuse. As Li Ruan turned to leave the room, Tang Li suddenly said, "Cousin, is the child Grandpa wants to kidnap really in D country?"
This was the first time Tang Li referred to him as her cousin since returning to the Li Family.
She was trying to get information from him.
Li Ruan turned back and met Tang Li’s eyes: "Why are you asking?"
"Yesterday, an [explosion] occurred in the capital of Siamese."
Tang Li didn’t believe Li Ruan hadn’t followed Siamese news.
Since they both understood, there was no need to beat around the bush: "A child went missing in the accident, domestic news says the child was blown up."
"You know that child."
Song Jingtian’s identity is no secret in Siamese.
Li Ruan recognized her implied meaning: "You suspect this incident is related to the Li Family?"
"I just find it a bit too coincidental." Tang Li didn’t deny it.
At the time, there was no third person in the room.
After a moment, Li Ruan spoke, "If you trust me, stay one more night."
Regarding whether the vacuum truck incident was caused by the Li Family, Li Ruan didn’t answer directly. Tang Li had some ideas in her head but hadn’t asked further when Li Ruan’s cellphone rang.
Li Ruan picked up the call, and Tang Li also received a group message.
It was Yu Sui tagging her in the chat group.
[Yu’s Family Only One]: "Two corpses were found in the suburbs of the capital."
Tang Li asked her, "Is it those two sanitation workers?"
"One of the corpses is." Yu Sui quickly replied, "As for the other deceased, seems it was some Second Master from the Zuo Family."
