Shi Nian's mouth moved slightly, and then a longing flashed in her eyes.

Zhan Xiuchen understood that longing.

That was when Shi Nian longed for him to come in.

She longed for him to be with her.

After all, she was lying there all alone; how lonely she must have been!

At this moment, Zhan Xiuchen felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Because he couldn't go with them.

It's not just about thinking about oneself, but also about thinking about the entire country of A.

He cannot afford to be at risk of contracting the virus.

Even the slightest possibility is unacceptable.

Zhan Xiuchen could only watch Shi Nian through the window.

He wanted to say something to Shi Nian.

But then he realized that Shi Nian couldn't hear anything he said through the thick glass.

Besides, what could he possibly say?

Should we tell Shi Nian that she is infected with the deadliest new virus?

She could die at any moment because she doesn't have antiviral serum!

Sorrow and helplessness welled up, intertwining in Zhan Xiuchen's heart.

Like a dense, impenetrable net.

Capture Zhan Xiuchen's heart!

Not even the slightest gap!

This made Zhan Xiuchen feel suffocated, as if he couldn't breathe.

As the suffocating feeling rolled in like waves, Zhan Xiuchen suddenly remembered what the girl named Xiaocao had just said.

She looked up and glared at him.

She said, “There are gods watching over us from above.”

A person who does bad things will be punished.

Zhan Xiuchen felt a sharp blow to his chest.

And now, is he about to face retribution?

He married Shi Nian entirely out of a desire to exploit her.

Country A was held hostage by nobles.

Previous presidents were merely puppets, with little real power.

Zhan Xiuchen wanted to change this situation.

He was unwilling to be a puppet president without any voice.

They were even less willing to become tools of those nobles.

If he wants to make changes, he first needs to gain a lot of support.

The nobles had already banded together.

His attempt to gain the support of the nobles would be tantamount to harming their own interests, which was utterly impossible.

Therefore, his only option was to win the support of the poor.

Although the poor in country A have no social standing.

But the number is staggering.

If he can gain the support of a large number of poor people, he will be a force to be reckoned with.

Of course, there is another, most important reason.
