Shi Nian and Xiao Cao talked about it.

She also read books about women's freedom.

In the slums, women are defined.

Having children and managing household chores.

They will always be men's appendages, men's dependents.

But in those books, Shi Nian saw that women could be just like men.

Things that men can do.

Women can do it too.

A woman's life is more than just giving birth and managing household chores.

......

And so, Shi Nian talked for the entire morning.

Little Grass listened all morning.

As she listened, the little grass's innocent eyes filled with longing and yearning.

She murmured, "Niannian, where exactly did you go? How could you see so many books and a completely different world?"

“A man from a wealthy neighborhood,” Shi Nian said. “A rich and young man suddenly said he wanted to marry me, so I went with him.”

Xiao Cao was taken aback at first, then shook her head vigorously: "No, no, no! Niannian! Impossible! No one from a rich neighborhood would marry someone from a poor neighborhood, unless they're an old geezer!"

The little grass remembers.

It turns out the beautiful woman next door married into a wealthy neighborhood.

She married a lousy old man.

That old man was older than the pretty lady's grandfather.

Shi Nian's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Look, even the grass knows this principle, how could she not understand it?

So even when a man looked at her with the most tender and affectionate eyes and said he liked her, she never believed him for a second.

"Little Grass, I don't know what he's trying to do."

"Niannian, didn't you ask him?"

"If you ask him, will he tell the truth?"

The little grass suddenly became a little nervous.

She said, "Niannian, he won't hurt you, will he?"

Shi Nian shook her head.

When I first came into contact with Zhanxiu Shen.

She had thought that way.

But after several days, she saw no sign that Zhan Xiuchen intended to harm her in the slightest.

Besides, a man like that.

Is it really necessary to expend so much energy to harm her?

I couldn't figure it out at the time.

She said, "He wouldn't hurt me, besides,"

Shi Nian chuckled self-deprecatingly: "He saved my grandmother's life and did me a great favor. Even if he were to harm me, I would still have to lend a hand."

Xiao Cao's expression changed immediately.

She knew that Shi Nian was the person who valued gratitude the most.

Shi Nianzhen would do that.

"I'll stretch out my neck for you!" Little Grass gritted her teeth: "Niannian, if he really wants to cut your throat, he'll cut mine instead!"

Shi Nian felt a warmth in her heart.

Little Grass knows, and Shi Nian speaks the truth.

Shi Nian also knew that Xiao Cao was serious.

If someone wants to cut off your neck, remember to say "neck".

The little grass really knows how to shield her.

Her little grass.

Despite having such a tragic background.

Yet she possesses the purest and kindest heart in the world!

Shi Nian held Xiao Cao's hand and said, "Xiao Cao, he won't cut my throat or yours, because he doesn't seem like a bad person. Grandpa invited him to dinner, and he drove over from the rich area late at night."

"And there's Xiaohu's father. Xiaohu's father was about to commit suicide, but it was he who introduced Xiaohu's father to a job and rekindled his hope."

Upon hearing this, Xiaocao's eyes widened immediately.

She's heard about it!

I've heard about it!

Little Tiger's dad has somehow gotten lucky and managed to get a job in a wealthy neighborhood!

While she was at the hospital, she overheard her brother and sister-in-law talking about it.

So it turns out that this was the man Nian Nian was talking about.

After thinking for a long time, Xiaocao suddenly blurted out, "Niannian, although I've never met him, I'm sure he's not a bad person. I have a gut feeling that he's not a bad person!"

"No, he must be a good person!" Little Grass concluded.

......

Meanwhile, the good man Xiaocao mentioned was standing in front of the dark cage, his tall and handsome figure standing out.

Screams of agony emanated from the cage.

Anyone who hears this will get goosebumps!

We can't bear to do it!

But Zhan Xiuchen's handsome face remained cold and indifferent.

"Your Excellency! Your Excellency!" the tortured prisoner trembled in the cage, "You are the president, you must have morality and justice! You can't torture me like this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xiuchen's eyes turned cold and clear, like an eagle in the night, aloof yet imposing.

Those eyes, as black as obsidian, held an aura of danger.

The darkness of human nature cannot be resolved by benevolence and morality.

"Continue. We'll stop when you've finished speaking," Zhan Xiuchen said, his deep voice carrying a murderous aura.

The screams continued intermittently.

Several minutes later, a wail suddenly rang out: "It was Zhan Wang! It was Zhan Wang who sent me to assassinate His Majesty the President!"

......

A little later, Ah Feng came to Zhan Xiuchen's side: "President, the person we caught has confessed. It was Zhan Wang. Zhan Wang must have found out that you would be going to the slums, so he deliberately made his move on the road."

Zhan Xiu remained silent, his eyes shifting between light and dark.

After a moment, he said, "It's not Zhan Wang."

Ah Feng was taken aback.

This is not a sign of war!

How is that possible!

Ah Feng said, "The prisoner was tortured. He couldn't endure it and didn't dare to lie."

Moreover, Zhan Wang and Zhan Xiuchen have always been at odds.

In particular, he suffered another defeat in the battle for the presidency.

Zhan Wang's assassination attempt on Zhan Xiuchen is by no means surprising.

“Zhan Wang is too arrogant, so arrogant that he disdains to use such methods.” Zhan Xiuchen glanced at A Feng: “If Zhan Wang wanted to kill me, he would give me a gun, take one for himself, and duel with me, instead of using such despicable means.”

Ah Feng was stunned again.

“Someone must have conveyed the instructions to him in Zhan Wang’s name,” Zhan Xiu said, “making him think it was Zhan Wang.”

"Who could it be?" Ah Feng frowned immediately, then suddenly realized, "Could it be another rival deliberately using Zhan Wang's name to try and reap the benefits?"

Zhan Xiuchen, at such a young age, has risen to this position, naturally facing numerous dangers.

Those who wanted to bring him down and kill him were not just Zhan Wang.

Zhan Xiuchen chuckled.

He said, "Ah Feng, think about it. If it were any other opponent, how could they convey orders in Zhan Wang's name and make their subordinates believe it without question?"

Ah Feng was startled.

"Lin Yazhu," Zhan Xiu said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, it's her."

Zhan Wang's birth mother.

Ah Feng was puzzled: "Mr. President, Lin Yazhu gave the order, so she naturally knew there was a chance of failure. If the people below confess, wouldn't that harm Zhan Wang?"
