“Dad, what are we going to do with him now?”
Li Xing replied, “We’ll give him a public trial.”
That meant that the former president would be tried by the people of the entire country.
Everything he had ever done wrong was going to be revealed to the public. There would be no peace for him after that.
“Then, who is acting as the president now?”
Xie Xuning glanced at Li Xing. Li Xing was one step away from the presidency. It was understandable why he would take the role.
“I don’t think there’s anything for me to do now. I’m so tired. I’m going home to rest.”
Li Qingcang hadn’t seen his lovely wife for a few days. Right now, he just wanted to be tied to Ye Tianxin so that they would never be separated again.
“Tianxin, I’ll give you a ride!”
Looking at his son’s obedience to his wife, Li Xing was about to shake his head in disapproval until he met Xie Xuning’s eyes. He said with a smile, “Xuning, look at how good my son is and how he dotes on our daughter.”
“You don’t mean that.” Xie Xuning exposed Li Xing’s hypocrisy without mercy, so Li Xing quickly changed the subject.
“Look, Xuning. I’ve been working my whole life only to get nothing in the end. I was thinking of pushing Qingcang for the election when the presidential election comes around. Do you have a problem with that?”
Xie Xuning would certainly have no problem with that. He thought about it for a little while and then said, “We have to ask Qingcang for his opinion. We will push him out if he has no problem with it.”
Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning were finally together again after being separated for 20 years He just wanted to make up the lost time for his wife and be with her. He had done enough for his career. He should be enjoying his life right now.
Li Xing sat next to Xie Xuning and said, “What are you going to do when Qingcang takes over? Do you think I should get a piece of land next to the Lang Garden and build a Tong Garden?”
Xie Xuning asked, “Why not give it to Wu Tong?”
Li Xing said with a nod, “I would like to give it to her, but I wonder if Wu Tong would accept it. I’ve made up my mind; I’m going to chase Wu Tong again. If not in a year, then I’ll do it in ten years. Life is short, and I don’t mind doing what I love for the rest of my life.”
The former president was still here, but Li Xing and Xie Xuning were talking about their retirement as if he were invisible.
“Can Li Qingcang become the new president with his qualifications?”
Li Qingcang was still quite young; he wasn’t even thirty years old. The Empire never had a president who was that young before.
Li Xing looked at the former president with contempt and said, “As long as we have the full support of the Xie, Li, and Jing families, don’t we have the presidency at our fingertips? Do you think you can become President without that?”
The former president retorted, “I’m just your puppet.”
Li Xing sneered, “Think about it carefully. If your proposal is for the sake of the country and its people, have we refuted it? The reason we refuted you is that you have done something against the Empire’s interests. Your Excellency, as the former president, you are an Imperial man. Remember that the interests of the Empire outweigh your own.”
Xie Xuning nodded slightly in agreement with Li Xing.
He should do his duty as the president. As long as he didn’t harm the interests of the country and the people, they didn’t mind if he was just a little selfish. However, they would never tolerate the former president using Imperial interests for his own personal gain.
It wouldn’t be just them; everyone in the Empire would never tolerate it.
