Chapter 198

On June 1st, the presidential campaign officially began.

Every citizen can log in to the election website and cast their own vote using their real name.

The voting period is 15 days, and at 8:00 pm on June 16th, the Federal Television will broadcast the public vote count live.

Mu Ling cast her vote on the first day, and then she waited, not for the number of votes, but for the storm to come.

Brother Xiang, the president, and my aunt would not let Ying Qianhe be elected, but Mu Ling was also very curious about what they were going to do.

On June 2nd, Ying Qianhe began his nationwide tour of speeches. Unlike his previous online speeches, he worked harder now. He went directly offline and moved very quickly, covering two or three planets a day.

On June 3rd, a candidate was suddenly exposed for corruption, and he was investigated that day. The results of the investigation came out quickly, and on June 4th, he was detained. Naturally, his name was removed from the list of presidential candidates.

At this point, the first person to be eliminated appeared.

On June 5th, another candidate was assassinated. He and his mistress were both found dead in her apartment. This incident not only involved a criminal case, but also involved a romantic affair and extramarital affair. It was said that the murderer had been caught; he was the mistress's boyfriend.

Anyway, no matter the final result, the second person to be eliminated is truly eliminated.

On June 7, one candidate actually announced that he would withdraw from the election, but before withdrawing, he made a statement saying that the previous two candidates had been persecuted by President Sheng Tianhai, and he was afraid that he would also be persecuted, so he withdrew from the election early.

At this point, there are only four left out of the seven candidates.

The world is changing every day. People who voted for the three candidates before can only change their votes. Seeing this, other people are not in a hurry and simply wait until the deadline on the 15th to vote. After all, what if someone else wants to collapse? They are too lazy to change their votes.

Fortunately, the next few days were calm, until June 11, when Ying Qianhe was suddenly assassinated while giving a speech on a planet.

The speech was given on a large open-air stage at a university that day. Suddenly, someone with a gun broke into the crowd and fired three shots at Ying Qianhe's position.

Because he was wearing a bulletproof vest, Ying Qianhe only suffered minor injuries as his head was not hit.

He was quickly protected by bodyguards, and the news instantly swept the entire Internet.

Mu Ling also saw the news. She also saw the video of the accident scene, which was shot by students at the scene. They were originally filming a speech, but suddenly someone stabbed them, and the stabbing process was also filmed.

It can be seen that the situation was very dangerous, and online public opinion exploded quickly. At this juncture, another student secretly started a live broadcast. In the live broadcast, it can be seen that the murderer has been caught by Ying Qianhe's bodyguards and is being pinned to the ground.

Mu Ling looked at the picture on the screen and frowned.

Could this have been arranged by Brother Xiang and the others? Isn't this too botched? And the murderer doesn't seem that powerful...

Just when Mu Ling was at a loss for words, the suppressed murderer suddenly roared loudly: "Ying Qianhe, give my son back to me!"

Mu Ling was stunned.

The murderer shouted many times in succession, and many people at the scene heard it, including the audience in the live broadcast room, and the barrage of comments was flooding.

The bodyguard hurriedly covered the murderer's mouth, but with a "whoosh", the bodyguard was suddenly shot!

The murderer actually has accomplices!

The situation became tense again. The bodyguards protected Ying Qianhe more firmly, while the other students and teachers squatted on the ground screaming.

The murderer struggled to break free from the other bodyguards. He was in tattered clothes and did not look like a killer. He staggered to his feet and rushed forward crying, shouting, "He was stolen from the hospital when he was only half a year old. You stole him. You used him for experiments. You killed him. Ying Qianhe, give him back to me. Give my son back to me!"

The murderer collapsed and walked step by step towards the highest stage. Ying Qianhe was protected by bodyguards at the innermost part of the stage.

He didn't walk very fast, and even limped a little. He looked embarrassed, but determined.

"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out.

The murderer was shot.

It was Ying Qianhe's bodyguard who fired the shot.

The murderer's thin and emaciated body slid to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and crawled on the ground twice with difficulty. Finally, he stopped breathing with his eyes open, still looking in the direction of the stage.

Time seemed to stand still. Mu Ling looked deeply at the middle-aged man in the camera who was slowly soaked in blood. The camera stayed on the man for a long time. Everyone was looking at him.

Mu Ling thought that she had guessed the identity of the "murderer". He was the father of one of the children in that group.

That child was not taken away from the orphanage, he was stolen from the hospital.

He could have grown up happily and healthily, but in the end, he died before he could even speak.

This is not an assassination, it is a show, a prosecution at the cost of human life.

This father, with his life, revealed the tip of the iceberg of Ying Qianhe's crimes.

But how did he know that his child was killed by Ying Qianhe?

Who brought him here?

Who gave him the gun?

Who was hiding in the dark, helping him hit the bodyguard and letting him finish his words?

Mu Ling pursed her lips, her mood suddenly becoming complicated.

She felt like she had forgotten something.

The president is also a politician.

Although he loves the people, he also uses politicians' methods to defend himself and eliminate dissidents.

This father's death may have been worthwhile, but it doesn't mean that he wasn't deliberately exploited by someone with ulterior motives.

Mu Ling thought of her aunt again. Her aunt was unwilling to cooperate with the president in advance. She chose to cooperate with him after the campaign started because she was afraid that some changes would occur. She was afraid that she would be stabbed in the back by the president because she did not trust politicians.

The live broadcast was cut off at this time, and the screen turned black. Mu Ling looked at her own face on the screen. She was a little absent-minded and did not move for a long time, until someone found her and told her that there were animals fighting at the third service area.

Mu Ling finally came back to her senses and hurried to the third service area.

-

The assassination of Ying Qianhe was on the hot search for a day. That night, the identity of the murderer was found out. He was indeed not a professional killer. He was the father of a missing child. His son was stolen twenty years ago, but for some reason, he felt that it was Ying Qianhe who stole him.

But in any case, Ying Qianhe was investigated.

However, after an investigation, no evidence was found that he had abducted children. Ying Qianhe quickly came forward to explain and clarify with the public, saying that the murderer was mentally ill and was talking nonsense.

But just as the clarification was over, someone found out about him again. Ying Qianhe was involved in the recent war beast riot. Someone reported that it was his order that led to drugging a certain war beast.

The matter involves war beasts and should not be underestimated. Moreover, the riot happened not long ago and the people still remember it clearly.

So, just as the crime of child trafficking was dismissed, the crime of organizing terrorist activities was charged.

When talking about the war beast riots, we have to mention the mysterious disappearance of the war beasts. After all, there was news before that the disappearance of the war beasts was related to the rebels. At this point, another day later, Ying Qianhe was officially suspected of having close ties with the rebels.

By this time, it was already June 13th, and the election was about to end.

However, facing so many accusations, Ying Qianhe was very calm and made his comments on Starnet.

"Is there any evidence?"

"If you have evidence, please arrest me. If you don't have evidence, please don't slander me. I believe that the people who support me will not be easily swayed by the conspiracy and tricks of some people."

Ying Qianhe's words reminded everyone of the three candidates who had withdrawn from the election before, especially the third one. He said with certainty at the time that their withdrawal was related to President Sheng Tianhai.

They didn't really believe this before. Isn't it a basic operation to talk about other candidates during the election? Politicians' words are lies, and no one would believe them.

But after the incident with Ying Qianhe, everyone suddenly realized, oh, yes, isn’t Sheng Tianhai the biggest beneficiary now?

Could it really be him who did it?

Furthermore, he claimed that Ying Xingyu had done this and that, yet he couldn't produce any evidence. It seemed like he was just trying to discredit him...

No, he still wanted to kill him, and he actually arranged for someone to assassinate him.

I don’t know if the father who claimed that he lost his son was telling the truth. Maybe it was a scam from the beginning to the end!

The people found themselves witnessing a conspiracy, and as bystanders, they suddenly seemed to be given a sense of responsibility. They felt that they should do something to show their support for Chizuru.

So what should we do? Well, why not just vote for him?

Just like that, the chaotic and anxious fifteen days ended.

On June 16th, at 8 o'clock in the evening, the final vote count that everyone has been looking forward to will be announced.

Ying Qianhe made himself a cup of coffee. He had been under house arrest. Since there was no evidence, he did not need to be detained. He could live and work normally, but there would be more people following him.

Seeing that eight o'clock was approaching, he took the coffee, walked to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, seven or eight members of the Security Department stood at attention.

Ying Qianhe took a sip of coffee and invited with a smile: "Come in and watch together? You should be curious too, right?"

The members of the Security Department said nothing and looked ahead.

Ying Qianhe raised an eyebrow, looking very good-tempered: "Since you are so devoted to your duty, I will leave the door open so that you can hear it."

As he said this, he actually opened the door.

Eight o'clock arrived quickly, and after a brief introduction by the host, the votes began to be counted.

Because the data is so huge, the vote count is very slow and the refresh speed is also very slow, almost increasing by one percent.

There are now four progress bars on the screen, representing the four candidates. As the number of votes increases, the length of the progress bars continues to change, and the rankings also change accordingly.

For the first ten minutes, Sheng Tianhai had been sitting firmly in first place.

In the middle ten minutes, Sheng Tianhai and Ying Qianhe took turns going up and down, climbing to the top.

When the refresh rate reached 80%, Ying Qianhe became the first.

Ying Qianhe seemed to be leaning comfortably on the sofa, but in fact her body was tense.

His fingers were still gripping the handle of the coffee cup, but he forgot to drink it. His eyes were fixed on the screen in front of him.

After a while, the refresh bar reached 95%. Ying Qianhe couldn't help but lean forward, and even his breathing became lighter.

After a while, the refresh bar reached 98%, and Ying Qianhe's palms were slightly sweaty.

After a while, the refresh bar reached 99%.

Wow, the ranking has changed.

Ying Qianhe went from first to second, and Sheng Tianhai became first.

"Huh!" Ying Qianhe stood up suddenly and looked at the ranking in front of him in disbelief.

99% to 100%, and it lasted for a long time, at least two minutes.

During these two minutes, Ying Qianhe felt like every second felt like an eternity, because he found that the ranking had not changed: Sheng Tianhai, Sheng Tianhai, Sheng Tianhai, it was always Sheng Tianhai.

"Thump, thump!" Finally, 100%.

The screen background turned golden, and of the four progress bars, the last three disappeared, leaving only the first one, which was enlarged.

Sheng Tianhai will be re-elected as president for one term.

"Bang!"

The members of the Security Department standing outside the door heard the loud noise inside. They looked back and saw Ying Qianhe throwing the coffee cup at the screen. The screen was floating, and his cup finally hit the wall, splashing brown liquid all over the wall.

The members of the Security Department looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. God knew how nervous they were just now.

They all knew that if Chief Ying became president, the entire Security Department would probably cease to exist.

Fortunately, fortunately the president was re-elected.

-

The results of the election for the new president are out, and Sheng Tianhai was re-elected as the next president with 5.624 billion votes.

Below him, Ying Qianhe received a total of 4.359 billion votes.

Although the two seem close, there is actually a gap of more than one billion votes between them.

-

At the same time, in the presidential villa, Sheng Tianhai held his wife's hand tightly until the results came out.

Xiang Rou was also very nervous, but at least the final result was good.

Sheng Tianhai also breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and said to Chai Yunyue behind him, "Immediately execute the arrest warrant for Ying Qianhe."

We couldn’t arrest him before because there was insufficient evidence, but we will arrest him now even though there is no evidence. Please go to the detention center and cooperate with the investigation for 72 hours.

But just as he finished giving the order, Chai Yunyue's communication rang. After listening for a few words, he immediately said to the president: "Ying Qianhe's apartment was attacked and he was taken away by an unknown force!"

Sheng Tianhai paused, then chuckled: "Okay, then leave the rest to Yuanyuan."
