The Presidential Palace is not just the place where past presidents have lived.
Government offices are also located in the Presidential Palace, where management is very strict. Petitioners need to make arrangements in advance, and must undergo body searches upon entry and exit. Staff members are subject to even more complex procedures, requiring iris verification and a series of other measures to enter.
Armed guards stopped Cui Yu, who then stated that he wanted to see Minister Jing Zhe.
The security department had not received any notification, and since Jing Zhe's men had not come to escort him, they naturally would not allow him to enter.
Especially now, during this extraordinary period, the controls are even stricter.
When communication failed and the guards tried to drive Cui Yu away, he made a very bold decision. He deliberately got into a physical altercation with the guards, and then, when they were not paying attention, he pulled out the pistol that the guard was wearing on his waist and pointed the gun at the guard as a threat.
To cause trouble in front of the Presidential Palace is practically suicide!
Logically speaking, he deserved to be shot on the spot for doing that.
However, this is a special period, and many families of people who went missing in Country D have already come to petition.
Taking action would have had a significant impact, so the police officers did not dare to act and instead quickly reported the matter to their superiors.
In the conference room, Jing Zhe was having a meeting with the people in charge of this operation when there was a knock on the door. His secretary walked in and leaned down to tell him about Cui Yu's disturbance.
Ten minutes later, Cui Yu met Jing Zhe as he had hoped.
"Xue Ling has gone missing, and I need your help."
Upon meeting, he got straight to the point.
Jing Zhe looked surprised, and after a long pause, asked, "Did you call the police?"
"I've reported it..."
Cui Yu recounted the police investigation results.
Jing Zhe frowned. "It hasn't been more than 48 hours since you went missing. What's the rush? Besides, even the police can't find any information. What makes you think I have that ability?"
"Jing Zhe, don't try to fool me. Those police officers are not very diligent in their work, otherwise there wouldn't be so many unsolved cases in this world!"
"You're the future president; getting them to intensify the search is just a matter of a word. With you personally in charge, would they dare disobey you?"
Cui Yu sneered and directly gave him the order. In his opinion, it was only natural for Jing Zhe to save Cui Xueling.
Jing Zhe was almost laughing in exasperation at his shamelessness.
Putting aside their hypocritical relationship, shouldn't one have the proper attitude when asking someone for a favor?
Where does he get the audacity to boss him around?!
Based on that fake niece, Cui Xueling?
“Cui Yu, every police officer is very dedicated and they are doing their job impartially. If you continue to spout nonsense, I will arrest you for insulting a public official!”
You yourself said that I am the future president, which means I am not yet. I haven't taken office yet, and you're already telling me to abuse my power. Do you know how bad it will be for me if word gets out that you caused a scene at the presidential palace today?
"So, only your Cui family matters in terms of relationships, and everyone else is supposed to be your slaves, serving you like dogs and wolves?"
"Xue Ling is your niece, the only bloodline left by your elder brother in this world. Shouldn't you help her?! If anything happens to her, how will you face your elder brother in the afterlife!"
With a cold snort, Cui Yu said matter-of-factly.
Jing Zhe clenched his fists so tightly that he almost couldn't resist punching someone.
He took a deep breath, then another, and forced down his anger.
Now is not the time to break ties with the Cui family.
A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan.
