Chapter 2100: Chapter 2100: A Heavy Price
Yiyi thought Madam Aisha would say something, but she said nothing. She only looked at her with a very anxious expression. Yiyi felt she understood the intense meaning in her gaze, yet she couldn’t accept it. She urgently told herself with her eyes, to not seek revenge, to let everything go!
How could she? No, she absolutely couldn’t accept that.
Her heart trembled, and her whole body was shaking.
"I am committing suicide because I cannot forgive myself for being married for so many years to the man who killed my father, and even unintentionally helping him become a scourge to the nation. Therefore, I too am an unpardonable sinner in this world, and only wish to cleanse my sins through death."
Blood foamed at the corners of Madam Aisha’s mouth. Speaking was very difficult, but her words were incomparably clear and persistent.
"The only thing I cannot let go of is my adopted daughter. She is a smart and innocent child, dragged down and humiliated because of my sensitive identity. She has suffered greatly with me and worked hard, only to be framed by malicious people, preventing her from being admitted to a prestigious school, even trying to concoct charges to label her as an enemy spy. But... I believe the Councilman is the most fair and kind, and will surely clear my daughter’s name, protect her from being framed by ill-intentioned people, allow her to attend a prestigious school, and live a peaceful and happy life."
The turn of events took everyone by surprise, and in the control room behind, the faces of the important figures accompanying the Councilman changed drastically.
Officials from the Security Office turned pale and hastily explained to the Councilman, "We gave her the gun because she said she wanted to shoot at the sky as a ceremony to represent her complete break with Governor Yun. Who would have thought she’d do this, even daring to threaten you with her death. Who knew she’d be so cunning. Sir, what should we do? Should we terminate the broadcast immediately?"
Councilman Helian stared at the broadcast footage, a rare look of shock on his face.
No one would have predicted her plan, after all, it is a rare few who would make such a sacrifice of life. Who could have thought this fragile woman would decide to give up herself to complete Yiyi.
Evidently, she was not a foolish woman. Having been in politics for decades, he was losing for the first time to such an inconspicuous opponent.
Or perhaps, it should be said, the greatness of motherly love.
Made him subtly moved as well.
"No need. Her suicide will make tonight’s speech a classic and become irrefutable evidence against Governor Yun. I believe those who watched the broadcast will sympathize with her and completely believe in Governor Yun’s infamy, far surpassing the effects I previously anticipated, essentially nailing Governor Yun to the wall."
Councilman Helian paused, sighed.
"What’s more, she forced me with her death, in front of the world, to guarantee the safety of her daughter, ensuring she gets into a prestigious school, leading a normal life. Should anything happen to that child in the future, the blame would point to me as her guardian, which not only prevents me from acting against this child but also obligates me to protect her from the Queen’s faction. Madam Aisha’s move has left me with no choice but to accept."
Yiyi, this girl, can no longer be harmed. But Madam Aisha also sent this great gift with her death, not only coercing but also granting favor, leaving me to spare Yiyi for the sake of her exposing Governor Yun with her death.
What else could be done? Having been outmaneuvered, I can only admit defeat.
"So what do we do now? Things are quite chaotic outside," an official from the news department hesitantly asked.
Councilman Helian closed his eyes: "Do I need to say it? Of course, make every effort to enhance the tragic atmosphere on site.
