Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 365: The Cause of Song Baiyan’s Death in His Previous Life
Chapter 365: Chapter 365: The Cause of Song Baiyan’s Death in His Previous Life
According to the record, on the very day that Song Baiyan’s younger brother, Song Jingtian, went abroad to study, Song Baiyan did not have the presidential entourage but only had 8 Special Agents accompany him to send Song Jingtian to the airport.
On their way back, just after their cars got off the highway exit, the gas station by the roadside suddenly exploded.
A few photos from the scene were attached to the record.
Flames filled the sky, rolling towards them like a fiery dragon with its mouth wide open, instantly devouring everything around it, shattering the glass of nearby residential buildings and causing over 200 casualties.
The Special Agents responsible for security that day suffered 6 dead and 2 injured.
As for Song Baiyan, aside from external injuries, his lungs were impacted by the blast wave; the doctor’s diagnosis is tucked inside the record. Song Baiyan had a lung injury from a gunshot wound when he was in the military early on, and the possibility of recovery from this explosion was almost zero.
In Han Jifeng’s dreams, this explosion was a sensational incident.
But in the end, it was still judged as an accident.
Outsiders only knew about the severe civilian casualties, but weren’t aware that the President was also at the scene of the explosion.
Including in the record, in black and white text, encountering the gas station explosion was not documented as an assassination for Song Baiyan, merely glossing over the event with just a few words, treating it like a common accident.
The record was compiled by Ji Ming, the Lieutenant Colonel close to Song Baiyan.
This matter was definitely approved by Song Baiyan.
Or rather—
The record was written this way by Song Baiyan’s directive.
In fact, anyone with clear eyesight who has reviewed this record could spot many issues, so he designated this explosion as an assassination.
Even though Song Baiyan did not die on the scene, he passed away a few years later due to illness.
The subsequent investigation into this accident did not stir any waves.
The President being targeted is a matter of great significance.
Relevant departments could not possibly be negligent, so it could only mean that Song Baiyan himself suppressed it.
By doing this, Song Baiyan was either protecting someone or covering something up; he couldn’t make any other assumption.
In the office, Han Jifeng stood in front of the window, recalling his encounter with Song Baiyan that night at Tan Palace, and his dream about how he had extricated himself from Xia Zhengguo’s bribery case, and now having been retained by Song Baiyan, he held some respect for the new President.
At this moment, the secretary came to knock on the door.
Han Jifeng turned around, the secretary was already standing by the door: "Director Han, a lady surnamed Lai is here, she says she was your college classmate."
Guessing who it was, Han Jifeng’s hands, braced on the window sill, clenched tightly, and then he said, "Tell her that I am busy and it is not appropriate to meet guests, ask her to go back first."
Before his words finished, Lai Shengxia appeared at the doorway.
Lai Shengxia held a pink purse in her hands, her waist-length wavy hair, delicate features, and dignified demeanor exuded a mature beauty, which was less innocent but more profound compared to her college days.
Upon seeing Han Jifeng, her gaze focused, with no one else in her eyes.
Lai Shengxia was the first to speak: "Are you busy?"
Han Jifeng asked the secretary to leave first, then his gaze returned to Lai Shengxia’s face: "Did you come to see me for something?"
"..." Han Jifeng looked at her, his gaze no longer carried the affections of the past, or rather, he no longer expressed those emotions. Within a few months, Lai Shengxia could sense the changes in Han Jifeng, he had become much more composed.
She came over in the afternoon because she learned that Han Jifeng had been retained by the new President.
Now, looking at Han Jifeng in person, Lai Shengxia realized once more that Han Jifeng’s career was likely to progress smoothly.
