Nalan Ye Jue’s expression was calm: "I’m just a commoner, how could I possibly help the President."
A softly firm refusal, sent back.
President Jun’s face was awkward, and overnight he seemed to have aged considerably.
He glanced at the girl next to Nalan Ye Jue who was looking down silently. Although he had urgent matters to discuss, he still politely nodded to the girl without suggesting that she leave.
Then he courteously requested of Nalan Ye Jue:
"Mr. Nalan, Ruyi has caused great trouble, committing three grave crimes. She refuses to confess to the first two, which are under trial. But the last one, I heard she wanted to assassinate Miss Qin out of love turned into hatred. Fortunately, Miss Qin was blessed and unharmed, otherwise, I’d never find peace. I wanted to personally apologize to Miss Qin to seek forgiveness, but I couldn’t reach her, so I came presumptuously. Could you please convey my deepest apologies? It’s my fault for not educating her well, resulting in such a disaster..."
Qin Xin was slightly surprised.
President Jun was not here to plead with Nalan Ye Jue to not accuse Jun Ruyi, but rather to contact her to apologize?
Unexpectedly, this old father still had some conscience, more understanding than Jun Ruyi, and more like an elder than Mrs. Qin.
However, upon hearing President Jun’s request, Nalan Ye Jue’s expression did not change at all.
He said coldly, "Unharmed? Who told you she was unharmed?"
President Jun was a bit stunned, feeling embarrassed: "It’s from the testimony just received from the prosecutor..."
Nalan Ye Jue turned around, took a sealed bag from the bathroom, and shook out a jacket.
The jacket was covered in fresh blood, not only soaked through but also dripping.
Qin Xin’s lips twitched slightly.
This was the clothes she wore this morning when attacked by Jun Ruyi’s hired assassin outside the Imperial Central Laboratory, which she changed out of for a medical check.
The man actually kept it.
The key point is, he really showed it to President Jun.
But that’s rabbit blood, rabbit blood.
Nalan Ye Jue righteously questioned President Jun: "Look at what your daughter did, she injured my woman this badly, her blood almost drained, yet you say unharmed? Who gave her the courage?"
President Jun’s eyes revealed shock and a trace of sadness, not expecting Qin Xin’s plight to be so cruel, Jun Ruyi to have been so ruthless.
His old face looked even more haggard and tired, he mumbled: "So it was like this... Ruyi, she deserves such a lesson... and to pay with her life..."
Qin Xin was slightly shaken.
President Jun, in matters of principle, could actually stand firm without excessively favoring Jun Ruyi just because she was his daughter, which was respectable.
Nalan Ye Jue’s expression remained cold and unyielding: "Of course she must pay with her life. Everyone is equal before the law of the Empire, she can be no exception. Please leave now, I can’t decide whether Xin forgives or not, but I will absolutely not testify to lessen Jun Ruyi’s guilt."
After President Jun left.
Qin Xin glanced at Nalan Ye Jue: "That’s rabbit blood, you know."
She was actually uninjured, but the man so boldly deceived an honest, upright old man.
Nalan Ye Jue’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Yes, I know."
Qin Xin: "Then you..."
Nalan Ye Jue: "Once she has the intent to kill, she must not be let off. She failed this time, but she will definitely strike again. I will not allow such danger to be around you."
Nalan Ye Jue’s tone was so firm, cold, and even unreasonably domineering!
