Fang Nan knew that the authorities in the Empire had to be very careful before many any decision.

"I'm not sure. It probably depends on the President's decision."

Meanwhile, the President rejected the proposal as he yelled into the phone in the office, "That's impossible. There's no way I can sign off on the purchasing of logistics items from Su Shopping Mall."

Certain things could be done, and some things could not be done.

The President knew better than anyone else that he could never make a decision like this when there was a national outrage.

He was not willing to risk tarnishing his reputation. If he did, he would never be able to survive in the Empire anymore.

"Your Excellency, are you sure?"

The President replied cautiously, "Yes, I'm sure. I'm not the only one who will disapprove of this move. Everyone in the Empire will disagree, as well."

The caller at the other end of the phone was breathing even more heavily, but the President remained firm in his decision. It was one thing to cooperate with this man, but the President knew better than anyone else that he couldn't afford to do so at this point.

He did not want to be a sinner. If he signed off on the purchase, his people would condemn him for life.

The man's tone changed for a moment before he said, "I figured you wouldn't agree to this. Then how are you going to handle this matter?"

The President was relieved when he noticed that the man sounded calmer.

"Li Qingcang has already gone to the site of the accident. He will deal with the situation as he sees fit."

The man nodded and hung up the phone with a loud bang.

Li Qingcang was at the scene of the accident. Fire flashed in the man's eye. His eyes blazed with a bright red hue.

He had been secretly scheming ever since he left the Empire more than ten years ago. He had always fantasized that he would one day return to the Empire and become the ruler of the country, but now...

The man waved his hand dismissively. "Leave me alone."

The attendant left the room as the man sat in the darkness, lost in thoughts all alone.

He initially thought that Ye Zhizhou would be saved when Zeus returned to the Empire. He expected Zeus to have some intention of saving Ye Zhizhou at all.

He had been plotting against people his entire life, but he had forgotten one critical fact: the human heart was the most unpredictable thing in the world.

He expected Zeus to harbor any hopes for Ye Zhizhou.

Indeed, Zues was a man, but he was not like any other man who contracted a terminal illness. He was not insistent on having a successor.

Furthermore, he and Shi Han had adopted Mo'er to be the heir to the throne.

Ye Zhizhou was irrelevant and dispensable.

After pondering for a while, the man posted a message on the internet stating that Zeus and Ye Zhizhou were father and son.

Zeus was a handsome man with a pair of deep, crystal-clear blue eyes.

He was always ready with a devilish smile whenever he faced the camera.

He also attached a photo of Ye Zhizhou alongside Zeus's photo on the internet. In the photo, Ye Zhizhou was wearing a blue basketball jersey. Sweat was rolling down his face, depicting a youthful and energetic image.

Both men looked somewhat similar.

Soon the internet was abuzz with the news as the netizens started reposting and forwarding the message. Shi Han and Zeus inevitably caught wind of the news.
