Chapter 1975: Died Under Xie Xuning’s Hands
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After Xie Xuning and Li Hang left, the President slumps into his chair.
His legs felt weak. The moment Xie Xuning grabbed his collar, he almost thought that Xie Xuning would kill him today.
!!
Xie Xuning’s aura was terrifying. It was so shocking that even after the two of them left, the President still could not come to his senses.
“Sir.”
The secretary looked at the president hesitantly.
The President shook his head.
He picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
“I can’t be a.s.sociated with you anymore. I’m from the Empire, and I want to protect the Empire’s rights from harm.”
“I support your decision.”
Less than an hour after the call ended, the president’s official residence received a wooden box. On the wooden box was a card with the President’s personal address.
As usual, the secretary had to check the doc.u.ments before handing them to the president.
Today, it was still the same.
When the secretary opened the wooden box, he was stunned and fell to the ground. “What is it?”
The other staff also gathered around.
As soon as they saw what was inside the box, they screamed in terror.
Inside the wooden box was a severed hand with a mole on the back of it.
The president’s face changed when he saw the hand. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
This was impossible.
It was impossible.
The President examined the severed hand carefully. He concluded that the severed hand belonged to his son.
They were so cruel to cut off his son’s hand after he had said no to them. They even sent his son’s severed hand to him as a warning for refusing their demands.
The President grew nauseous. He rushed to the washroom in a hurry, leaned against the sink, and retched violently. After calming down, he dialed the number again. “What do you want?”
The man’s voice was cold and indifferent. “I wish to be as powerful as you, of course. Mr. President, are you willing to let others manipulate you from now on? Don’t you want to be someone who has an independent voice?”
This was a conspiracy that harmed him and those around him! It was akin to asking a tiger for its skin, or making a coc.o.o.n bind itself!
At that moment, countless thoughts surfaced in the President’s mind. He was so foolish to trust a demon so easily.
“Don’t hurt my family. I’ll listen to you.”
The man on the phone chuckled. “Mr. President, this is called refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit.”
“Yes, I was wrong. Please don’t hurt my family again.”
The president was shaking with rage. His eyes were filled with angry tears, with one rolling down his cheek.
“Don’t worry, I won’t touch the First Lady. Everything else depends on your cooperation.”
“I understand. Please don’t hurt them, especially not my children. I’ll do anything.”
After hanging up the phone, the president sat on the chair in a daze. He hugged the wooden box and sobbed silently.
Even if he was the President, he couldn’t protect his child!
The secretary cautiously called from outside the door, “Mr. President.”
The president slowly raised his head and looked at his secretary. “Inform the Defense Minister and the Foreign Affairs Minister to come and see me.”
The entire world knew that he was the President, but they didn’t know that he had very little power.
