The CEO's Woman-Chapter 412 Exhausted

Chapter 412 Exhausted

Secretary Jia was actually thinking that Jiang Yue would immediately say yes to him. After all, who wouldn't want to rule a country? Moreover, Jiang Yue was extremely talented and smart, it would surely benefit them to have a leader like her.

However, to his surprise, Jiang Yue only smiled at him before shaking her head. "Secretary Jia… I am a newly wedded woman. I can't afford to rule a country and leave my husband alone. We just got married. I don't want to neglect him."

"Eh?" Secretary Jia did not know if he wanted to laugh or cry at Jiang Yue's statement. He was asking her to rule a country and she was talking about being newly married… wait... "Did you just say 'married'?" His eyes immediately widened as the realization hit him. "I... Wow! Congratulations!" Now, Secretary Jia understood why Jiang Yue acted the way she did when she heard that Fu Jin had got shot.

"Thank you, Secretary Jia." Jiang Yue said, her eyes sparkling, as her lips lifted into a smile.

"Now… let's talk about who will rule this country."

At her words, Secretary Jia's expression instantly turned serious. "Who would you recommend? I believe we can have someone from the Li Family. We can consult the Li Family elders to make sure… "

"You." Jiang Yue interrupted him. "I don't want anyone from the Li Family. I want you to rule this country."

The old man immediately paled after her words. What did she mean by that?

"You heard me right. I want you to rule this country until it becomes stable."

"But… the people won't allow that… they…"

"They will accept you."

"Miss Jiang, please don't treat this like a joke. I can't be the King. I am a mere…"

"I will talk to the ministers tomorrow and will appeal to the people the next day after that. I will tell them that this is what Gideon wanted. To have someone like you to rule the country." She said before getting up from her seat. "This has been a very fruitful meeting, Your Highness… I will see you with the minister's tomorrow," she said before looking at Bei Ye. "My subordinate will walk you out."

Seeing Jiang Yue's disinterest in talking further, Secretary Jia could only follow her orders and leave the room.

"Are you sure about that?" Jiang Yue heard Fu Jin ask. It turned out he was listening to their conversation for some time now. "Do you want him to rule?"

"Why not? He will be a smart leader. I believe he will be better than Gideon." Jiang Yue said.

Fu Jin did not answer Jiang Yue as he watched her approach her computer and type something.

"How's the Li Family?" He asked.

"Still the same. One elder fainted last night. They thought they could use that method to make me send him to the hospital." She said. "Too bad, I'd rather let them die than take a step out of that place." Jiang Yue sneered inwardly. The satellite was programmed to change all the signal frequency of that area. It was programmed to intercept all outgoing calls but let the incoming calls through.

"I found something interesting," she added before opening a new window on her computer. "I have checked the accident that involved my mother back then..."

"The children's bodies that were killed were too burnt to be recognized. The authorities were not able to confirm if the kids were already dead at the time of the fire," she explained as she showed Fu Jin the copy of the reports that she was able to hack.

"That's reasonable." Fu Jin said. "However… if they were already dead before the fire even started…" Fu Jin made a deliberate pause before he continued. "Do you think the people responsible for the orders were trying to cover up another crime aside from human trafficking?"

Jiang Yue immediately nodded. "Actually, the most interesting part is… those kids came from the East. It only means they were kidnapped somewhere in the East."

"That is indeed very interesting… do you think... mother knows about this?"

"Maybe. I need to talk to her first, to make sure of it." Jiang Yue stated. "I have a suspicion that this trafficking was somehow connected to the Li Family. Think about it, Jin. They have brought my father up since he was a kid. Trained him, clothed him, feed him. But, he did not hesitate to leave them and act as if they were just someone that he just used."

"What if… my father knew about the Li Family's crimes? I mean… he should have. But what if their crimes were so evil, that he could not take it anymore? Oh… gosh… that sounds insane. Sorry... These are all only my assumptions." She shook her head before she felt Fu Jin massage her temples. She did not even know when he approached her.

"You are exhausted." It wasn't a question. It was a statement, a declaration.
