Chapter 668: A Formal Apology to Her
Early next morning, Song Yinyin was discharged from the hospital.Lu Jihan couldn’t resist her mixed tactics of persuasion and had to take her to the hospital to visit President Shi Mai’er.
President Shi Mai’er’s complexion was still not very good.
His respiratory and swallowing systems had been eroded by the snake venom, and he couldn’t recover in a short time, needing a period of rest.
His complexion showed a haggard pallor, his lips were slightly dry, his brows tightly knitted, and there were still several tubes attached to him.
Song Yinyin didn’t expect that in just a few hours of not seeing him, the originally energetic and noble elder had become so fragile and weak...
Yesterday, if the murderer had succeeded, perhaps this great figure would have just fallen and never woken up again.
Thinking of this, Song Yinyin’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.
As if having a premonition, President Shi Mai’er woke up at this time, and upon turning his head, he saw Lu Jihan and Song Yinyin standing by his side.
"Oh, Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, you’ve come?" His face still bore a kind and friendly smile as President Shi Mai’er tried to prop himself up.
However, even such a simple action as sitting up was extremely difficult for President Shi Mai’er.
His whole body was weak, and to prop himself up required all his strength.
Seeing the cold sweat seeping from his forehead, Song Yinyin couldn’t bear it and wanted to step forward to support his arms.
But before she could touch President Shi Mai’er’s arm, his bodyguard immediately blocked her, not allowing her to approach a single step.
President Shi Mai’er cooled his face and waved for the bodyguard to step down.
Only then did the bodyguard step back, making way.
Looking up at Song Yinyin again, President Shi Mai’er’s face was adorned with a fatherly affectionate smile: "Mrs. Lu, I’ve heard that my men have caused you harm, making you stay in the hospital, I should apologize, I’m really sorry."
"No, no, no!"
Song Yinyin, flustered by the honor, quickly waved her hand and said, "Your Excellency, you mustn’t say that. Actually, it’s normal for your officials to suspect me, they are just doing their duty."
President Shi Mai’er sighed lightly, then solemnly said, "It’s rare for Mrs. Lu to be so understanding, but I’m indeed feeling guilty... How about this, when I’m discharged, I’d like to invite Mr. and Mrs. Lu to dinner to express my apology, how about that?"
Lu Jihan and Song Yinyin exchanged a smile.
Being invited to dine alone by President Shi Mai’er, what an honor that would be? Naturally, it was something they couldn’t wish for more.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Jihan looked up at President Shi Mai’er and said: "Your Excellency, do your country’s guards have any clues about the poisoner?"
"Not yet."
Lu Jihan nodded slightly and continued, "I do have an idea that might help Your Excellency find the poisoner. It’s just that—"
He paused slightly, glancing at the bodyguards standing like gatekeepers on the side.
President Shi Mai’er’s expression paused briefly, then he immediately understood.
The next second, he waved his hand, dismissing the bodyguards from the room, then asked in a deep voice: "From what Mr. Lu is saying, it seems you know something?"
"Yes."
Lu Jihan responded, "Your Excellency, you should also know that the person who poisoned you is actually someone from S Country, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have called the embassy and instructed your people to let us go."
President Shi Mai’er slightly furrowed his brow but didn’t speak, remaining noncommittal, as if waiting for more information.
