Chapter 838: No News Is Good News
Lu Jihan was uneasy: "What if Sha Dong finds out?"
"They won’t, the house is registered under the butler’s name."
So that’s how it is.
Lu Jihan nodded: "Alright, let’s go there then."
No sooner said than done, time waits for no one. If they didn’t leave now, Sha Dong’s people might catch wind and come after them.
The car sped down the road at 120 km/h, hitting the highway in just over ten minutes.
President Shi Mai’er leaned against the seat, enduring the severe pain in his leg, and spoke in a steady voice.
Four years ago, S Country experienced a severe economic crisis.
This economic crisis spread from light to heavy industry, causing a paralysis of the entire industrial production sector, triggering the largest crisis in S Country’s history.
Presently, this situation has allowed Sha Dong to monopolize S Country’s key industrial sectors.
Yet, S Country, in an effort to address civilian issues, fell into a deficit.
This economic crisis led to a rise in unemployment, farmers going bankrupt, the increasing impoverishment of the working class, and frequent strikes and revolts.
If Sha Dong becomes the President of S Country, one can imagine the dire fate awaiting the citizens of S Country.
This is also why President Shi Mai’er personally traveled with S Country’s business tycoons to Imperial City in Country Z to seek guidance.
"I never thought the situation in S Country was so complex."
Song Yinyin sighed and couldn’t help but worry, "So what now? Sha Dong blatantly attacked the President’s Mansion, planning to seize power through direct revolt, right? President Shi Mai’er is also hurt, are we just going to sit around and do nothing, letting him take the presidency for free?"
President Shi Mai’er shook his head: "Before Mr. Lu rescued me, I had already called our allied countries, I believe they will act soon."
With these words from him, Song Yinyin and Lu Jihan, along with others, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The car continued south for about an hour before finally reaching the house President Shi Mai’er mentioned.
The place was very secluded, an excellent hideout indeed.
On the way, they bought some medicinal supplies and upon arriving at the villa immediately put President Shi Mai’er on an IV drip.
While President Shi Mai’er was asleep, he seemed to be dreaming, constantly muttering ’Shana’s name in his sleep.
"What should we do, do you have any news about Shana?"
"No."
Lu Jihan shook his head.
"Could she...?"
Song Yinyin bit her lip, unable to imagine what would happen if something really happened to Shana and President Shi Mai’er found out when he woke up.
"No news is good news, don’t think about it. Let’s wait until President Shi Mai’er is out of danger." Lu Jihan said.
Song Yinyin nodded.
Everyone decided to take turns on night duty to take care of President Shi Mai’er.
When it was Song Yinyin’s turn, she noticed President Shi Mai’er’s lips were turning white, trembling continuously, with an unnaturally flushed face, wondering if he had a fever.
Reaching out to check, her suspicion was confirmed.
President Shi Mai’er’s body was burning hot.
He curled into a ball instinctively, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, muttering ’cold, cold, so cold’...
Song Yinyin quickly grabbed several more quilts and covered President Shi Mai’er with them.
Yet, President Shi Mai’er’s complexion didn’t improve, still muttering ’cold, cold, cold’...
Song Yinyin recalled having winter clothes in her suitcase, so she quickly opened it.
