Chapter 264 The Bully Miss's Forced Marriage, the Interstellar General Refuses to Divorce - 44
"Are you unaware of how the vast planet treats traitors? If you release me now, I may let it go!"
Li Xingyu pulled Mu Wanwan up and shielded her behind him, like protecting a chick.
"Who cares about your leniency? You should think about how to beg Xingyu to spare your life." Mu Wanwan stood behind Li Xingyu without holding back.
"Li Xingyu, are you really sure about this?"
Li Xingyu stepped on his back and pressed down hard.
"Ouch! That hurts! Li Xingyu, I'm going to kill you!"
"My lord, I have been putting up with you for a very long time. I have also told you before that I have no position as the leader."
If you hadn't planted people around me to monitor my every move, and hadn't even touched my beloved Wanwan, I would still be a dutiful and loyal subject.
I will always serve you and the vast planet, ensuring you remain in the leadership position until death.
But you just had to court death, daring to have Wanwan kidnapped. You could have blamed Emily the first time, but what about this time?
Emily is dead. Is this her ghost, or a remnant of her cause?
He pulled his foot back and gave the order, "Lock him in the prison of the vast planet, never to be released again, and no one is allowed to visit him."
The leader was dragged up from the ground by the soldiers. His hair was disheveled and stuck to his face, and the bloodstains on his face showed signs of drying. He already looked vicious, but now he was even more terrifying.
"Li Xingyu, do you think you can smoothly ascend to the position of leader? You are guilty of treason, hahaha~ Even if I am a prisoner, you will find it difficult to win over the people."
Mu Wanwan tugged at Li Xingyu's sleeve. "Honey, since he's so curious, why don't we take him out to see it? It'll make him feel more at ease in the prison."
Li Xingyu patted Mu Wanwan's hand, instantly transforming into a devoted husband, "I'll listen to you."
The leader was escorted outside the building, where countless people, including soldiers and civilians, had gathered.
When the crowd saw their leader being escorted out, they erupted in cheers.
Who among the common people doesn't know how the peace of this vast planet came about?
What the leader didn't know was that during the time he was searching for Li Xingyu, the news broadcasted his kidnapping of Mu Wanwan, intending to use her to blackmail Li Xingyu. This kind of thing would definitely make everyone hate and despise him even more.
Everyone knows that without Li Xingyu, there would be no Vast Planet today. With this filter in mind, they wish the leader would step down immediately.
Uncle Cao was in the crowd at that moment. He nodded to Li Xingyu and then shouted loudly, "I suggest that General Li Xingyu take over as our leader, continue to protect the peace of our planet, and abolish the old leader."
With Uncle Cao's appeal, the public anger that had already been stirred up by the leader was instantly pushed to the forefront once again.
The phrase "a call to action is always answered" became a reality at this moment, with even more voices joining in calling out Li Xingyu's name.
"Li Xingyu!"
"Li Xingyu!"
"Li Xingyu~"
The leader recognized Uncle Cao, who was in charge, at a glance. "It's him! I should have shot him dead back then!"
It turns out that Uncle Cao had once worked under the leader, but he was beaten to the point of near death by the leader for a small mistake. It was Li Xingyu who saved him.
Li Xingyu remained silent, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and everyone present immediately fell silent.
“I understand everyone’s good intentions. Today you all saw that I did not intend to treat the leader this way, but his hand was already outstretched in front of my wife and me. If I had not resisted, I’m afraid what you would see now is just my cold corpse.”
The leader now realized that he was the one who had fallen into the trap.
The news event was indeed intentional; he wanted to use Li Xingyu to control the Mu family. If Li Xingyu refused, he would definitely come to confront him.
Li Xingyu also realized that he was a cunning and calculating man who had always been scheming, and that he must have made thorough preparations for this trip.
So he gradually walked into the trap set by Li Xingyu.
Uncle Cao stepped forward and bowed to Li Xingyu, saying, "General, please do not refuse. We all know that you are the most suitable candidate. We know what kind of person the former leader was, and we also know everything you have done for all our people."
Li Xingyu leaned close to the chief's ear and asked, "Chief, should I agree or not?"
Before the leader could respond, Li Xingyu gave the soldier a look, and the leader was taken away. As he passed the crowd, they spontaneously threw eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at him.
Li Xingyu smoothly took over the position of leader. He did not want to use the previous leader's residence, nor did he want to build a luxurious new one. He ordered his office to be renovated to make it his new workplace.
He was very approachable and well-liked by everyone.
This time, Mu Wanwan was no longer returning to her parents' home alone; in fact, it was Li Xingyu who took the initiative to suggest it.
He had been married to Mu Wanwan for some time, and he had not accompanied her on her wedding return visit. Looking back now, he felt deeply ashamed.
So after Li Xingyu pleaded repeatedly, Mu Wanwan finally agreed to take him home with her.
The Mu family had already received news from Mu Wanwan that she was bringing her husband home, so everyone in the Mu family was on high alert and busy preparing to welcome Li Xingyu.
"Did you prepare too much stuff? The trunk is overflowing!"
"Our own car can't fit everyone, so can't we bring another one?"
After he finished speaking, the servants orderly took out the gifts and loaded them into another car, while he and Mu Wanwan rode in the other car.
Mu Wanwan held his hand and was surprised to find that he was very nervous, with his palms slightly sweaty.
"husband!?"
Li Xingyu secretly took several deep breaths to calm herself down. Everyone says that only an ugly daughter-in-law gets nervous when meeting her in-laws.
His first visit to his father-in-law's house was much more nerve-wracking than a bride meeting her in-laws.
"Wanwan, you have to speak up for me later!"
Mu Wanwan put her arm around Li Xingyu's shoulder as if to protect him, "Don't worry, with me here, my parents won't make things difficult for you. Besides, your status is different now, you are the leader, they are in awe of you."
Li Xingyu didn't think so. The Mu family was no small family; their ability to bring down the former leader showed that they had extraordinary influence.
He wasn't afraid of power, but his marriage to Mu Wanwan wasn't his wish, so his image in the eyes of the elders might not be very good, hence his anxiety.
He was genuinely visiting his father-in-law's house as a son-in-law, so nervousness was inevitable.
The soldiers walked ahead and placed the gifts one by one in the living room, standing behind the gifts in a well-trained manner. Then, Mu Wanwan led Li Xingyu into the house.
Mr. and Mrs. Mu rushed to greet them, "Dad, Mom, we're back!"
