Chapter 167: Counterattack

Shao Chengxi rushed back through the wind and snow, arriving at ten o’clock at night.

Afraid that the chill on his body would harm his Omega, he shook off the cold, changed into clean clothes, and then went to see Shu Lin.

“Husband, you’re back!” Shu Lin’s face immediately bloomed with a smile when he saw him.

The warm yellow light from the bedside lamp in the hospital reflected on his rounded face, making him look particularly gentle.

“Baby, I missed you so much.” Shao Chengxi walked quickly to Shu Lin’s side, naturally pulled him into a sitting position on the bed, and cupped his face, kissing him incessantly.

If Assistant Chen hadn’t knocked on the door, he would have continued kissing without end.

Today’s campaign speech went smoothly. At this rate, the number of signatures for votes would definitely exceed one million before February 18th.

Shao Chengxi hadn’t had dinner yet. After Assistant Chen set out the dishes, Shu Lin sat beside him and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, feeding it to his mouth, “Open your mouth.”

“I can do it myself…” Before he could finish speaking, Shao Chengxi’s mouth was stuffed full.

Shu Lin couldn’t help but laugh as he watched his puffed-up cheeks.

And so, Shao Chengxi happily accepted his Omega’s feeding.

Just as he was finishing eating, Shao Chengxi’s phone rang.

It was a call from Shao Shiyan.

He said that news had begun to spread online about Shao Chengxi and Shu Lin’s marriage being a transaction.

“Second Brother, we’ve initially traced it back, and Wu Xun directed people to do this,” Shao Shiyan said. “Currently, the attention isn’t too high, and the PR department is working to reduce the heat.”

Shao Chengxi’s expression was calm, “Don’t panic, act according to our established strategy, it won’t cause any big waves.”

After hanging up the phone, Shao Chengxi didn’t hide anything and told Shu Lin about what had just happened.

Instantly, Shu Lin understood.

So, Lin Zhengyang was reminding him about this matter.

Shu Lin told Shao Chengxi about his conversation with Lin Zhengyang.

After listening to him, Shao Chengxi fell into deep thought.

In truth, the Shao family had anticipated the possible tactics that political enemies might use long before deciding to run for office.

Among them was the possibility of using their marriage as ammunition.

This didn’t faze them.

Simply using the fact that Shu Lin had revealed his US-Class Omega status during the live broadcast to bravely save Shao Chengxi would be enough to counterattack completely.

As things stood now, how they started was no longer important, what mattered was that they loved each other.

The public wanted to see a happy ending.

The only thing they hadn’t expected was Lin Zhengyang as a variable.

In a short period of time, Shao Chengxi couldn’t determine his true intentions.

But one of his words had indeed moved Shao Chengxi.

Originally, Shu Lin planned to help Shao Chengxi campaign and solicit votes through online methods such as live broadcasts and social media interactions.

However, Shao Chengxi’s first campaign speech at Imperial University had an unexpectedly good effect.

The PR team discovered that Shao Chengxi not using his US-Class Omega to come forward and solicit votes actually increased public favorability.

Later, Shu Lin simply didn’t show his face again.

In case of emergency, he still recorded a lot of campaign videos in advance, in preparation for unforeseen circumstances.

It’s just that there was no chance to use them.

Therefore, until now, the public didn’t know the current situation of Shao Chengxi and Shu Lin.

In Shu Lin’s conversation with Lin Zhengyang, Lin Zhengyang suggested that they announce it now.

“This way, it can save Minister Shao from all subsequent campaign speeches.”

“In this way, he will have time to accompany you in peace, and he can also get unimaginable voting support.”

That’s right, it was this sentence that moved Shao Chengxi.

Honestly, Shu Lin was also tempted.

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while onlookers are clear. Lin Zhengyang’s words made them think of another and better way to solve this matter.

As long as Shu Lin’s current situation was announced, not only could the news that Wu Xun had revealed be suppressed, but also Shao Chengxi could accompany Shu Lin rightfully afterward.

And there was no need to worry about the voting at all.

The two smiled at each other and immediately decided to start a live broadcast.

Half an hour later, when Shao Chengxi’s official account suddenly started a live broadcast, millions of viewers poured in instantly.

In the picture, Shao Chengxi was wearing a casual sweater, which was rare for him. The background was clearly a hospital room.

“Good evening, everyone.” His voice was low and powerful, “I’m sorry to bother you so late. Today, I have an important matter I want to personally tell everyone…”

Then, the camera turned to the hospital bed.

Shu Lin was leaning against the head of the bed, he waved and smiled at the camera, without saying anything.

Shao Chengxi walked over, sat down beside him, and exchanged a sweet look with him.

The live broadcast comments instantly turned into a flurry of snow.

“?????????!!!!!”

“Holy sh*t! What did I just see!”

“Wait, this is a live broadcast, right, right, right??”

“The way Minister Shao looks at his husband is too gentle!”

“Who said it was a transactional marriage? If this look can be acted out, I’ll eat my keyboard on live.”

“So, how many signatures are still needed? Do we need to drag our families out overnight to sign?”

“I wasn’t interested in politics at all, but this couple is too easy to ship.”

“Suddenly I want to vote, just for this dog food that’s killing me.”

…

The live broadcast’s real-time statistics showed: online viewers: 8.7 million+, total comments: 5.2 million.

That night, trending topics surged on the charts:
