Chapter 259: Country C is not your responsibility alone
Nan Si did not touch the box rashly. He first summoned his subordinates to ask if he had seen anyone approaching the car. The subordinates replied no.
Everyone's attention was on Gu Mingxi just now, and they did not notice the situation outside. Moreover, the car door was locked. Who could put things in quietly without a key?
Nan Si checked the box to confirm that there was no danger before picking it up.
Gu Mingxi stood aside and said nothing. He lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. He put his hands on his chest casually, seemingly carelessly, but in fact, his alertness was at its highest, and the dark shadow when he got off the car flashed in his mind.
, isn’t it my own illusion?
The light in his eyes was fleeting.
"...Madam." Nan Si was startled when he opened the box, looked at her with complicated eyes, and handed the box in his hand to her.
Gu Mingxi glanced at it and saw that there was only one memory card in the purple box, lying quietly in the middle with nothing else.
I took the memory card in my hand and looked at it carefully. It was not new, it seemed to have been used for a long time. Who put this thing in his car, and what was in the memory card?
"Madam, do you need to see it now?" Nan Si asked.
"No need." Gu Mingxi closed his palms and held the memory card tightly in his hand. His eyes looked at him like cold stars in the dark night, "Your Excellency is still waiting for us at the President."
Nan Si nodded.

When Long Pei saw Gu Mingxi, he took a look at her and confirmed that she was really safe, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Without saying anything, we had lunch peacefully and returned to the office. Banxia gave me a cup of coffee and a cup of scented tea and left quietly.
Long Pei likes coffee, while Gu Mingxi likes scented tea. Even though she doesn't often appear in the presidential palace, scented tea is still available.
"Don't be so impulsive in the future." It's very dangerous to run with Nan Si rashly.
Gu Mingxi seemed to guess that he wanted to educate him, and there was a smile on his lips, "You have forgotten what major I studied before."
"No." Long Pei pursed his lips. She originally wanted to study medicine, but due to the Moshui earthquake, she changed her focus to media and worked as a reporter. She has the spirit to explore the truth, but he was worried about her safety. "She doesn't care about herself.
, think about me and A-Li."
Do they have to endure the pain of losing her again?
After losing her in country E, A-li didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly alienated him, indifferent to him, and used this method to get angry with him.
"I remember." Gu Mingxi put down the tea cup, stood up and walked to him, took his hand and put it on her heart. She remembered his words carefully. "I will tell you next time."
Long Pei understood the meaning behind her words. Even if there was a next time, she would still go, but she was just informing herself instead of asking for his opinion.
"...Mingxi!"
"I have something I want to show you." Gu Mingxi interrupted him, not wanting to get entangled with him on this issue. She took out the memory card and handed it to him, "Someone put it in my car, and no one noticed that it was
Who."
Long Pei's eyes calmed down calmly, and his gloomy eyes fell on the memory card, "Have you seen it?"
"No, I want to watch it with you." She said. It seemed like someone wanted to give it to her, but actually he wanted to give it to Long Pei through her hand. Otherwise, that person should avoid Nan Si's eyes.
.
Long Pei turned on the computer, and Gu Mingxi inserted the memory card into the connection port tacitly. He glanced at the chair beside him and reached out to pull it over. Who knew that the next second, someone would hold him in his arms and sit on his lap?
The posture is ambiguous.
"This is in the office."
"Break time." He pursed his lips, brushed her bangs that covered her eyes with his fingers, put his big hand on her slender waist, and used the mouse to open the folder on the memory card with his other hand.
The folder was a video. When Gu Mingxi heard the voice, his eyes immediately locked on the screen. Naturally, he had no intention of getting into more trouble with him on boring issues.
The pixels of the video are not very good, and it looks like it was shot secretly, but the content of the video is very exciting. The naked woman is tied to the bed, and the man in a suit is sanctimonious, holding a whip in his hand and whipping the woman hard, mouth.
Li kept swearing and ignored the woman's cries for mercy.
Bai Xi's body was almost bloody and bloody. From the last cry and begging to the last curse and accusation, the more she scolded, the more excited the man seemed to be.
At the end of the video, the woman was already dying, and the indistinct voice seemed to be cursing, "You betrayed the country and the people like this, you will be punished by God! Go to hell and experience 19 levels of endless hell."
The unbearable scene made Gu Mingxi frown. When she heard the last sentence, she turned her head and looked at Long Pei, "What does she mean? Who is the man in the picture?"
Because the man always had his back to the camera, and at most half of his face was blurry, it was not clear who he was.
Long Pei's face turned completely gloomy, and his arms around Gu Mingxi's slender waist tightened silently. There was a sullen look on his brows, and he was born with the majesty of not being angry and self-respecting.
"Yicheng, Mayor Yu Shou." The deep voice squeezed out two key words. Gu Mingxi might not recognize him, but Long Pei was no stranger to this person.
"Yicheng?" Gu Mingxi knew Yicheng.
Most of the oil extraction in country C is in Yicheng, which is surrounded by mountains. It is the largest supplier of oil in country C. Originally, oil extraction required state approval and strictly followed the national requirements, but the mining rights in Yicheng have been very limited.
It did not belong to the state a long time ago and was owned by private individuals.
After so many years, although each generation of presidents wanted to take back the mining rights, they failed every time. Uicheng's geographical location is already remote, and the position of mayor is inherited by the family. The people support this family. If force is used to force oppression,
I'm afraid it will cause a backlash from the citizens.
Yicheng in country C is like Taiwan in China. Everyone recognizes it as a part of China, but it does not recognize it itself. It wants to be independent and form an independent country with complete laws and systems. Unfortunately, it is small in area and has a small population.
, relying on oil extraction for economic development simply cannot become an independent country.
Long Pei once listed Yicheng as the first city to deal with, but unfortunately it has been hindered by many things. He once sent people to Yicheng to investigate the Yu family. The Yu family's defense and police were very high, and no clues could be found.
Those who entered were also taken out, and no one came back alive.
It is conceivable that Yicheng is more terrifying than Longtan and Tiger's Den.
"Do you suspect that the mayor of Yicheng secretly sells oil to other countries?" Gu Mingxi frowned, with a solemn expression. Privately selling oil is not a trivial matter, it is related to the economic and development issues of country C.
Long Pei's face was stern and his eyes were sharp, "The matter in Yicheng cannot be delayed."
Regardless of whether the content of the video is true or false, the matter in Yicheng must be resolved as soon as possible. The longer this matter is delayed, the greater the impact it will have on country C.
He stood up and put Gu Mingxi down, gently caressed her face with his fingers, and whispered softly, "I have to have a meeting with the think tank immediately. I have a lot of things to deal with and I will probably go back very late at night. Don't wait for me. I
Let Nan Si take you back."
Gu Mingxi knew that once matters of national interest were involved, he would not be able to tolerate anything else in his heart and would definitely put the country's affairs before anything else.
"There is no danger in the presidential palace. You should let him deal with Yicheng's matters first."
Long Pei was silent for a moment, nodded, lowered his head and kissed her red lips, "Xiao Xi." His voice was low, but he hesitated to speak.
There were many words that she could understand even if he didn't say them now. She stood on tiptoes and placed her lips on the corners of his lips, staring at him with bright eyes, "Now this country is not just your responsibility alone."
As the president's wife, shouldn't she shoulder the responsibility of this country with him and work hard to protect the interests of the people?
Long Pei's eyes were deep, and his heart on the left side of his chest was shaking violently. He held her in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones.
With her support and understanding, he believed that he could handle it no matter how difficult or tricky it was.
Gu Mingxi didn't want to hinder him from doing his work, so he let go of his hand and left the office.
Long Pei pondered for a few seconds and immediately asked Bai Yan to convene a think tank meeting about Yicheng. On the other hand, Nan Si went to investigate the source of the video and the identity of the woman in the video.

Late at night, Long Pei returned to the bedroom. He couldn't hide the faint tiredness between his brows. His eyes swept over Gu Mingxi, who was sitting on a wicker chair reading a book. Half of his face was bathed in warm light, which was extremely moving.
Gu Mingxi noticed someone was watching her and came back to her senses, "You're back."
She is like this, she is very absorbed in doing one thing, no matter what happens around her, it cannot affect her.
Putting down the book and walking up to him, Long Pei took her hand and said, "I'm not telling you not to wait for me."
"I can't sleep, I just want to read a book." She replied calmly, took her hand out, and took the initiative to untie his tie.
In fact, after she came back, she had been thinking about Yicheng and the figure she saw. She didn't eat much at night. If he didn't come back, she wouldn't be able to sleep.
"Are you hungry? Do you want Ru Bing to make some midnight snacks?"
"No need." He concealed the tiredness between his brows. When he saw her after finishing all the work, the tiredness in his heart disappeared in an instant.
"Then I'll put some hot water on you. A hot bath will make you feel better." Although he tried his best to hide his tiredness, she still caught it.
Since he didn't want to say anything, she wouldn't ask and would quietly do something to make him feel more comfortable.
She turned around to leave, but Long Pei held her hand and was reluctant to let go. After taking two steps, she turned back. Their hands were like magpie bridges spanning the air. His cold fingers were clasping her hand tightly, and he was reluctant to let go.
.
The dark eyes stared at her, complicated, obscure and flickering...
"What's wrong?" His reaction was strange, and he felt uneasy.
"I decided to go to Yicheng in person." A deep voice escaped from his thin lips, firm and resolute. No one could ever change his decision.
The coldness in Gu Mingxi's slender eyebrows immediately dissipated, and her face suddenly became solemn.
