"So, you just wait to send my corpse to him. As the ex-wife of such a significant figure from the opposing side, my sudden death would probably not do your reputation any good."
Her words shocked her guards, and upon seeing her determined expression, they couldn’t help but feel alard. This was a grave matter, and they decided to report it to their superiors.
About an hour later, Madam Aisha received a call from the Councilman’s office, arranging a eting for her and the Councilman. Soon, an aide from his side personally ca to escort her.
The eting lasted for about two hours. After erging, Madam Aisha appeared as usual, though the corners of her lips showed a hint of relieved exhaustion, and she was subsequently arranged to stay in a luxurious apartnt.
...
"You say you want to release ?" Yiyi’s eyes widened, a look of disbelief across her face. She had given up all hope, rely awaiting death’s arrival.
She couldn’t have imagined that she would be suddenly released at the brink of death. Rather than feeling joyful, she found this sudden change utterly unbelievable, instinctively sensing that there must be so significant reason behind it.
Yet the people releasing her did not reveal a hint of the reason despite her pressing questions, rely telling her that her life would be safe as long as she obediently followed the authorities’ arrangents and refrained from acts of defiance.
Surviving such a catastrophe was fortunate, but Yiyi did not feel at ease; instead, a peculiar sense of foreboding arose within, leaving her restless.
The order for her death ca directly from the Councilman, a decision that couldn’t have changed on a whim. Who could have paid such a hefty price to make the Councilman prefer to keep her as a threat?
Who could it be? But it’s said that Brother Ling Kong hasn’t yet returned from the front lines, where the battle rages fiercely.
So who on earth is it?
Yiyi was burning with anxiety, yet she had no way of uncovering even the slightest clue. After being released, she wandered aimlessly through the streets, suddenly noticing a crowd gathered in the square, watching a live report on the virtual big screen.
It must be another war report, a great victory or sothing. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be broadcasted on such a prominent big screen; from afar, almost every public screen was turned on, showing a grand spectacle indeed.
Yiyi had no interest in these political propagandas, her eyes inadvertently sweeping over them as she prepared to leave for ho.
But that glance made her spot a familiar figure appearing on the screen, her eyes widening in shock, her breath stalling for a mont.
How could Madam Aisha appear on the big screen?
On the screen, Madam Aisha was seen surrounded by a large group of bodyguards, heading towards a podium at a plaza, while below the stage, a dense crowd held up nurous banners, supporters of the Councilman.
Yiyi imdiately felt a sense of foreboding. Madam Aisha had always been low-key; even at banquets, she would never express any opinions or views publicly. Now, she seed ready to give a speech like an important leader. What on earth was happening?
She hurriedly ran forward, overhearing the citizens gathered at the screen discussing.
"Isn’t that the forr wife of the Queen’s faction’s top favorite, Governor Yun? Why is she appearing at the National Theater Square? That’s where major leaders give their speeches."
"I’ve heard that Madam Aisha has sothing significant to disclose to the international community. I don’t know what big issue it is to warrant such a massive scene."
Disclosure of significant matters? A chill swept through Yiyi’s chest. Madam Aisha’s speech must be related to her, right? With such a grand arrangent, it couldn’t possibly happen without the Councilman’s consent. At this timing, her release seed too coincidental.
