Two days later Jing Ruyue was transferred from ICU to the regular care unit. The operation was a success and no rejection was recorded.
While things went well with her mother, Xu Xiyan heard from Huo Yunshen that Helian Wei was not in good shape.
It was said that Mr. President had another heart attack and even showed signs of cardiac failure. He had been in a coma after intensive treatments and was being kept in the ICU.
It made Xu Xiyan very worried.
Her mother was barely recovering and her father was in danger now. Why did they have to go through all of this?
He was finally freed from the tragic marriage after all these years. She had not had a chance to bring them together. Are they going to be parted forever?
Xu Xiyan decided to keep it from her mother for the time being, in case it would jeopardize her recovery.
Instead, she went to the ICU to see her father. From outside the window, she saw Helian Wei lying there in a coma with tubes all over his chest and oxygen going into his nose.
Xu Xiyan could not help from weeping. Their blood ties made her unable to turn a blind eye on him.
Even if her father had been absent for over twenty years, she still could not help feeling worried for him.
It made her heartbroken to see him lying there in a coma.
She could do nothing but pray for a miracle.
While the doctors issued a critical condition notice, the news of President Helian Wei being seriously ill was immediately spread to the Blue House.
It brought the parliament members into a heated debate.
Different parties argued fiercely about whether Chief Commander Helian Qingyu should be the successor to the presidency or if the succession plan should be aborted.
Helian Xiong and Helian Chen sat back and watched them arguing.
When the parliament meeting was over, Helian Xiong left the Blue House and started planning with his son Helian Chen. “If we push for an election now, what do you think my odds are?”
Helian Chen analyzed the current political situation and concluded, “If we could win over the Secretary of State, I’d guess we would have an 80% chance of winning.”
Helian Xiong asked after a pause, “How is it going with his daughter?”
“I almost won her over last time. But someone ruined it.”
“If that’s not practical, let’s look for an alternative. Tell the Dark Zone to arrange accordingly. We have to take over before Helian Wei can recover.”
“Yes. I’m already in touch with the Dark Zone.”
Helian Xiong smiled tacitly to his son. Once Helian Wei was gone, he would be the next president.
…
In Lstan.
Mo Yutian got the news and sailed to the castle on Ghost Island.
Upon seeing Mo Xie, he reported, “Father, our chance has finally come.”
Mo Xie read through the message from Estan while a trace of excitement flashed in his dark eyes. “Very well. Helian Wei is finally dying. It’s now-or-never for us. Once we succeed, we will not only take revenge but also win my Yue-Er back.”
“Yes, father. Let’s make a detailed plan.”
Mo Yutian had his men open a map and started planning with Mo Xie.
“Helian Wei would never expect his own brother to betray him for us,” Mo Xie sneered.
