134: Chapter 134 I Just Want to Protect You
Although the Human Alliance Party has developed extremely rapidly over these thirty years, you understand clearly that this party does not currently possess the capability to clash with the Mingheng Party.
However, you have always understood that it is the Federal Government standing on the side of the Human Alliance Party to check the Mingheng Party that has given the Human Alliance Party the qualifications to confront the Mingheng Party.
But in the end, doing this just makes you a gun for Prime Minister Xiao Tianyu to use.
That is why you decided to run for the position of Federal Prime Minister.
The Mingheng Party initially thought about pulling down Prime Minister Xiao Tianyu, but fortunately, there were still smart people within the Mingheng Party. They knew that although Prime Minister Xiao Tianyu's own abilities were lacking, he at least stood on the side of humanity. If someone supported by alien races were to become the Federal Government Prime Minister, then the Federal Government could truly be called an alien government.
"Your Highness, the speech is about to begin," Ensign Li Quan said, looking at you.
You adjusted the buttons on your clothes: "What do the media say?"
"Madam Comell has already agreed to join us," Ensign Li Quan said, looking at you.
"Well done," you glanced at him.
The entire Federation's media is composed of four sectors. The first is the media led by the Federal Government, but after the signing of the Starry Sky Treaty, the Federation's people are instead full of distrust toward the government's official media.
The second is the various media led by alien races. Generally speaking, a sovereign nation would absolutely not allow media led by foreign races, but also because of the signing of the Starry Sky Treaty, this has become a reality.
The third is the media led by big capital on the human side, among which the most prominent position is occupied by the one led by Madam Comell.
The fourth is the type of personal media like the one Liu Ziyi does.
You don't know how Ensign Li Quan did it, but she is indeed a very formidable person, especially in terms of public speaking.
"Did you threaten or bribe her?" You asked as you finished grooming yourself and prepared to go on stage.
Ensign Li Quan looked at you and said: "I made her fall in love with me."
You stepped onto the podium. It was chaotic below, with the security team maintaining order.
You scanned the audience and placed your right fist over your heart.
Immediately, the audience quieted down. They looked at you, their eyes filled with fanaticism, and they all followed suit, making the same gesture as you.
[...]
"You've worked hard," Liu Ziyi said, watching you walk down after the speech ended.
You walked over and kissed her right cheek lightly: "Thanks to you."
"Noke, send a notice that there is no need to prepare dinner today for the Human Alliance Party's evening meeting." You glanced at Liu Ziyi: "Tell them I might be an hour late."
You put your arm around Liu Ziyi and boarded a small spaceship.
You arrived at the most luxurious restaurant on the Imperial Star.
"I am really sorry. Today is clearly your birthday, yet I only have dinner time to spend with you." You looked at her and said.
Liu Ziyi shook her head: "No, I know what you are doing."
"That is really great. Although the Federation is very chaotic right now, and the Mingheng Party is eyeing us covetously, I will protect you." You held her hand and said.
Liu Ziyi looked at you. She looked a bit unhappy—no, that expression wasn't unhappy, it was more like she had lost the will to live.
Is she resenting me for being too busy?
As expected, I need to squeeze out more time to accompany her.
Liu Ziyi did not speak, she just picked up her cutlery and ate her dinner.
To ensure your safety, the security team had long cleared the restaurant. At this moment, only you and Liu Ziyi were dining.
The huge restaurant was very quiet, with only the sound of cutlery clinking.
"Lin Heng..." Liu Ziyi put down her cutlery and spoke.
You looked up at her: "What is it?"
She looked a bit embarrassed, and also a bit helpless.
"I don't want to live this kind of life anymore," she said, looking into your eyes.
You also looked into Liu Ziyi's eyes.
You saw your own reflection in that pair of eyes, which were like black gemstones.
"I don't understand what you mean?" You said.
"I should have told you before, I can join your propaganda department, and I can also help you control public opinion. You know my abilities." Liu Ziyi bit her lip: "Why do you have to bury my talents like this?"
You looked at her and were silent for a moment before speaking: "I have told you that the Federation is very chaotic right now. Ensign Li Quan alone has been assassinated six times."
"The Mingheng Party used to care about their reputation, but now the Human Alliance Party has completely threatened their position. Those guys are truly capable of doing anything!"
"I know!" Liu Ziyi said: "When I was a personal reporter, did you think I encountered few dangers?"
"No, you don't know!" You looked at her and said loudly.
"I know!" Liu Ziyi said: "And I have already prepared myself to face the danger!"
Looking at her, for some reason, you felt very angry, and you roared: "Why, can't you understand? I said the Federation is very chaotic right now. By my side, I can protect you!"
Liu Ziyi was startled by your angry appearance.
Seeing her frightened expression, you felt a wave of regret.
You had indeed been a bit too emotional just now.
Liu Ziyi had indeed raised this issue to you before, but you had always brushed her off. This was the first time she had formally made this request to you.
You did not want her to do these things, as it would expose her to the Mingheng Party.
You hoped to be able to give her a safe and free environment.
Were you wrong? You just wanted to protect her!
"I... I just can't lose you." You looked at Liu Ziyi and said.
Liu Ziyi looked at you, her eyes turning a bit red, her appearance somewhat heartbreaking.
Ensign Li Quan had just heard you roar and immediately ran in. At this moment, he was standing not far away, watching the two of you.
You sighed: "Ensign Li Quan, Ziyi is tired. Take her back to rest first."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Ensign Li Quan said.
You arrived at the Human Alliance Party headquarters. The content of this meeting was mainly focused on the Prime Minister election one month later.
This election would directly affect the subsequent development of the Human Alliance Party.
Logically speaking, the Federal Government Prime Minister election is held once every ten thousand years, but due to pressure on the government from the parliament and a large number of people from all walks of life in the Federation, this early election was held.
Therefore, you attached great importance to this election.
There were a total of four candidates for Prime Minister: one was you, one was Prime Minister Xiao Tianyu, and two were cadres of the Mingheng Party.
Of the two Mingheng Party members, one was a young man backed by alien races, and the other was an old man with high prestige in all walks of life in the Federation. He should have been concerned about humanity and unwilling to let the Federal Government be completely controlled by alien races, which is why he stood out.
In fact, the Mingheng Party had long wanted to start an election to pull Prime Minister Xiao Tianyu down, but they had been stopped by the humans with conscience inside, so the election had not been held.
Therefore, your mobilization of the power of people from all walks of life in the Federation and the parliament to start the Prime Minister election actually played right into the hands of those guys in the Mingheng Party who had long ago defected to the alien races.
You didn't care about this, because you had to be elected Federal Prime Minister.
The Human Alliance Party must win this election!
Inside the Human Alliance Party headquarters, all the party's officers were gathered together.
You explained the development plan of the Human Alliance Party and the importance of this election.
At the same time, you also deployed specific tasks to every officer.
Suddenly, your psionic communication rang.
You frowned; it showed Ensign Li Quan.
Didn't he take Ziyi back? Does this guy not know I'm in a meeting?
Although you had doubts, you still connected the communication.
Then, you were stunned and froze in place.
Liu Ziyi committed suicide.
Without any hesitation, you terminated the meeting and rushed back at the fastest speed.
A corpse covered with a white cloth was carried out of the villa.
It was Ziyi, it was your Liu Ziyi!
You were just about to approach but were stopped by someone.
Mu Xue, for some reason, had arrived even faster than you. She looked at you and said.
"It was a miniature psionic bullet that went straight through her body."
"This is a Federal Army training bullet. Even if fired at a person, the body would subconsciously mobilize psionic power to defend, so nothing would happen."
"To be killed by this kind of bullet, there is only one possibility: the other party voluntarily released all psionic power. Therefore, there is no other possibility except suicide."
Mu Xue looked at the corpse being carried away and spoke indifferently.
You didn't hear a word clearly, but you roughly knew what she said.
You were stunned and frozen in place, and you even felt that breathing had become much more difficult.
"Do you want to eat this?" Mu Xue handed you a lollipop and asked.
You remained stunned, without any movement.
Mu Xue sighed: "Then do you want this? The last letter Young Miss Ziyi wrote for you."
You took the letter tremblingly and opened it.
Inside, only one sentence was written.
"Lin Heng, I am very lucky because I met you, and I am also very unfortunate, likewise because I met you."
