Chapter 137: Breakthrough

It was Shu Lingxiao calling.

Shu Lin bit his lip, his finger hovering above the answer button, hesitating to press it.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao also became nervous:

“It’s your sister… Bao, if you’re scared, I… I’ll answer it for you?”

Honestly, Gu Xiao was also afraid of Shu Lin’s Alpha sister.

Shu Lin shook his head, took a deep breath, and pressed the answer button: “Sister…”

Shu Lingxiao’s voice, with its unpredictable tone, came from the other end of the phone: “Where are you?”

Shu Lin subconsciously shrank his neck, his voice involuntarily lowered a few degrees: “Just, just in the bedroom…”

“Come to the main residence immediately.” Shu Lingxiao finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Shu Lin held the phone, looked up at Gu Xiao, with some unease in his eyes:

“My sister definitely knows about my livestream… She doesn’t agree with me doing this, Gu Xiao, do you think she’ll be angry?”

Gu Xiao was also apprehensive, but he still patted his shoulder, comforting him:

“Don’t be afraid, Bao, we didn’t do anything wrong. Let’s go, I’ll go to the main residence with you.”

Shu Lin nodded, forcing a smile: “Thank you, Gu Xiao.”

“Why are you being so polite with me?”

The two hurried to the main residence, feeling apprehensive.

It was already eight o’clock in the evening, and Shao Shiyan and Shao Yuanheng, having been busy all day, had just returned home.

The atmosphere in the main residence’s hall was heavy.

Shu Lin entered the house, his head lowered, not daring to look at Shu Lingxiao, afraid of being scolded in the next second.

Unexpectedly, Shu Lingxiao’s expression was calm, and she didn’t scold him.

She just glanced around at everyone, then turned to Shao Shiyan and Shao Yuanheng, and said:

“The military police aren’t allowing visitors. This is a very bad sign.”

Shao Shiyan frowned, and said in a deep voice: “It seems the Presidential Palace wants to keep us in a deadlock.”

Shao Yuanheng nodded in agreement: “That’s right, he wants to drag us down until we compromise and agree to all his conditions.”

Shao Yuqin’s eyes showed heartache, “Everything else is easier to deal with, but if this continues, your grandfather’s health might not hold up…”

Hearing her say this, Shu Lin felt even more uncomfortable.

He was also worried about Shao Tingrui’s health.

“Don’t panic,” Shu Lingxiao said with a calm expression, “Things won’t go his way.”

Shao Shiyan raised an eyebrow, “Sister Lingxiao, do you have any good ideas?”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at her expectantly.

Shu Lingxiao walked to Shu Lin’s side, put her arm around his shoulder, and showed an approving smile:

“Shu Lin’s chaotic punches today have broken the current political deadlock.”

“What do you mean?” Everyone looked puzzled.

The others didn’t know about Shu Lin’s livestream today.

Seeing Shu Lingxiao looking at him, Gu Xiao quickly took out his phone and explained Shu Lin’s livestream revelations.

Everyone was shocked and quickly clicked on their phones to see today’s real-time hot searches.

Sure enough, everything was about Shu Lin.

Shu Lingxiao patted Shu Lin lightly and continued:

“Shu Lin’s action gave me another idea for resolving this matter.”

Shao Shiyan asked: “What idea?”

Shu Lingxiao chuckled:

“We jump out of the political circle and don’t let the Presidential Palace lead us by the nose.”

“Since Shu Lin has exposed his true identity, we’ll seize this opportunity to mobilize public sentiment, simply play the emotional card, and not talk about politics.”

Everyone pondered after hearing these words.

Hearing his sister’s words, Shu Lin knew that she supported his approach, and a hint of joy appeared on his face, “Sister, tell me, what should I do next?”

Shao Shiyan: “That’s right, Sister Lingxiao, tell us, how do we play this emotional card.”

Shu Lingxiao raised her wrist to check the time, and said:

“It’s 8:15 PM now.”

“Since Shu Lin said in the livestream that he wants to see his Alpha before 10 PM tonight, we can’t let that statement fall flat.”

Saying that, her gaze swept across everyone.

“Big brother, you’re responsible for directing the public relations team to intensively build momentum in terms of public opinion in the next hour, locking in public attention.”

“Okay.”

“Shiyan, notify the staff of Fuzhong Media to be in position immediately and follow me and Shu Lin, ready for a live broadcast at any time.”

“Okay, Sister Lingxiao.”

Her gaze settled on Shu Lin:

“Shu Lin, since we’re playing the emotional card, this time we’re mainly relying on you.”

“Later I’ll take you to the Presidential Palace, and you’ll demand to see the president as the Omega of the Minister of Defense.”

“There will be reporters and cameras following us, broadcasting live the whole time.”

“Don’t be afraid, just like you were during your livestream today.”

“Now that your identity is sensitive and the attention is high, and public opinion is one-sided, Hong Zhengyue won’t dare to act rashly.”

“What’s more, in front of the camera, he won’t refuse to see you.”

“This might be a good breakthrough.”

Shu Lin glanced at Gu Xiao, then looked at Shu Lingxiao, and nodded without hesitation: “Sister, don’t worry, I’m not afraid.”

Shao Yuqin pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement:

“We can try. However, now that Shu Lin’s true identity has been exposed, four bodyguards might not be enough.”

“For safety’s sake, we should contact the Ministry of Defense’s special operations team to escort you.”

Shao Shiyan finally made a decision, “It’s settled then. Time is of the essence, let’s split up.”

The development of things exceeded Shu Lin’s imagination, but overall, it was moving in a good direction.

Soon, Shu Lin and Shu Lingxiao, escorted by special operations team members, traveled by car to the Presidential Palace.

In the night, the motorcade sped past, Shu Lin gazing at the flickering lights outside the window, his heart beating like a drum.

He knew that every step from now on would be crucial.

But no matter what, he had to persevere.

For those twenty-odd patients, for the Shao family, and also for his Alpha.

On the way, Shu Lingxiao received a call from Shao Shiyan.

He said that after considering it, he contacted Vice President Wu Xun and State Councillor Li Zhengyu, asking them to also rush to the Presidential Palace to help her and Shu Lin if necessary.

After hearing his words, the corners of Shu Lingxiao’s mouth turned up slightly:

“Yes, you’ve considered it very carefully, well done. With their help, our chances of success are greater.”

Hearing her affirmation, the joy in Shao Shiyan’s breathing on the other end of the phone was palpable.

Hanging up the phone, she told Shu Lin about this situation, and once again told him not to be afraid.

Shu Lin clenched his fists, his gaze firm: “Sister, I’m not afraid, don’t worry about me.”

At the same time, Fuzhong Media’s official website live broadcast officially started.

In the picture, Shu Lin was sitting in the car, the light reflecting on his exquisite and slightly innocent face, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, his eyes showing both nervousness and stubbornness.

As soon as the live broadcast screen was released, it immediately attracted national attention.

Barrages flew across the screen like snowflakes.

“Oh my god, he looks so small, so heartbreaking…”

“To think that at such a young age, he dares to face the president in order to save his Alpha, he’s so brave!”

“His eyes are so firm, it makes my nose tingle…”

“Why is the Presidential Palace detaining people? Just because the Shao family is unwilling to collude with the president?”

“This one-in-a-million US-Class Omega is actually also saving those twenty-odd patients…”

“I don’t care, I support Shu Lin! Give him back his Alpha!”

“Let go of those twenty-odd patients!”

“The president can’t disregard human life either!”

…

The public’s emotions were completely ignited, and public opinion overwhelmingly supported Shu Lin.

On social platforms, related topics quickly topped the trending searches.

Countless people spoke out for him, demanding that the Presidential Palace release people immediately and give a reasonable explanation.

The motorcade sped on, getting closer and closer to the Presidential Palace.

Shu Lin took a deep breath and looked out the window, the city lights twinkling in his eyes.

Every step from now on would be watched by millions of people, but he would not back down.
