Bai Hongzhang said abruptly, "Mr. Qiao seems to be grooming a successor."

Old Mrs. Qiao was stunned.

She couldn't believe it, "Shaoting is grooming a successor? How is that possible, Shaoting is still so young! Is he going to step down?"

"That's why I find it strange." Bai Hongzhang said, "There is a young man in the presidential palace. He is very good in every way. Mr. Qiao has been taking him all the time these days, explaining all the affairs to him as well."

"I suspect that Mr. Qiao is trying to get him to take over the position."

Old Mrs. Qiao's heart sank.

At Qiao Shaoting's age, there was absolutely no reason to find someone to take over his position!

He had been doing a good job as the president. Why did he step down?

When she thought about Qiao Shaoting's behaviour at the presidential palace in the past few days, Old Mrs. Qiao realized that something was wrong.

At first she was overjoyed, thinking that Qiao Shaoting had finally said goodbye to the past and had made peace with Qin Xiaorou.

But now that she received a call from Bai Hongzhang, she realized that it was not so simple.

...

After hanging up the phone with Bai Hongzhang, Old Mrs. Qiao immediately asked someone to find out where Qiao Shaoting had gone missing during the time.

But she couldn't find it out.

When Qiao Shaoting could not be contacted back then, Old Mrs. Qiao had gone to investigate.

But there was no trace.

She thought that since Mr. Qiao was back, she would be able to find out what had happened, but she still couldn't.

Just when Old Mrs. Qiao was worried, Fang Liyuan arrived.

Fang Liyuan saw that Old Mrs. Qiao didn't look right and immediately asked her about it. Old Mrs. Qiao told her everything.

A bright light flashed in Fang Liyuan's eyes.

When Qiao Shaoting disappeared for a few days, Fang Liyuan suspected that he had gone for Qin Yu.

She thought that Qiao Shaoting had probably learned that Qin Yu had a heart problem.

But she did not say anything because she was afraid that her suspicion was wrong.

If she did, she would make a fool of herself.

But when Old Mrs. Qiao said that Qiao Shaoting had the intention of grooming a successor and seemed to be stepping down, Fang Liyuan was sure of what she had thought before.

Qiao Shaoting must have known that Qin Yu was going to die!

Fang Liyuan reckoned that Qiao Shaoting wanted to be with Qin Yu in her last days, and that was why he decided to step down!

After all, who knew when Qin Yu would die!

Maybe a few months, maybe a year.

A kingdom can't live without a king. Qiao Shaoting could not leave North for such a long time, so he came up with such an idea!

Qiao Shaoting was so devoted to Qin Yu!

Fang Liyuan was angry, jealous and worried at the same time.

If Qiao Shaoting really ceased to be the president, would she still be as happy as she was now?

Of course not!

After all, the status of the president's brother's wife was so much more impressive.

Fang Liyuan decided to ask Old Mrs. Qiao to stop Qiao Shaoting.

But she could not say explicitly that she knew about it, so she said, "Old Mrs. Qiao, I have always felt that Shaoting has not forgotten Qin Yu. Why don't you check Qin Yu? Maybe Shaoting disappeared for a few days to go for Qin Yu. Now Shaoting wants to step down. I guess it has something to do with Qin Yu, too! "

It reminded Old Mrs. Qiao!

Old Mrs. Qiao immediately raised her voice and said, "It must be Qin Yu! Who can make Shaoting lose his marbles except for Qin Yu?"

Old Mrs. Qiao immediately sent her men to investigate Qin Yu, and once they did, they found that Qin Yu was in the hospital.

They reported that Qin Yu seemed to have a heart problem, but they did not know exactly what her condition was. They only knew that Qin Yu had been in hospital for some time.

Old Mrs. Qiao didn't think much of it until Fang Liyuan prompted her, "Old Mrs. Qiao, I'm afraid that she must be seriously ill since she has stayed in hospital for so long. Is that after Shaoting saw Qin Yu, he wants to step down and stay with her? "
