Every day, Jason Lesley arrived at work from the East Gate of the North Palace. Usually, he would walk leisurely and it wouldn't take long for him to reach the office area of the North Palace.
But today, Jason entered the North Palace from the usual entrance. After entering the gate, he began to run wildly, but he still couldn't reach the main office after running so quickly.
He even questioned if this was the same path he took every day. Why did he feel like it was particularly far today?
When he heard about the bad news from the Silas family, he was so shocked that he forgot that he had a phone that he could use to just inform the President. He didn't need to run so wildly.
From the East gate of North Palace to the President's office, he had been running for more than ten minutes, yet he was still a long distance away from his destination.
By the time he finally made it there, he was already out of breath. After panting for a long time, he said, "Mr President..."
Nathaniel raised his head from a pile of documents and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Speak slowly."
Jason patted his chest and tried to calm down. "Miss Silas... Miss Silas had an accident. Something big happened. Except for you, no one else can save her."
Nathaniel raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter?"
Jason wiped the sweat from his forehead. "She killed someone. She killed her cousin, Elijah, the son of Mike Silas."
"She killed Elijah?" Nathaniel paused for a moment and said, "Send someone to investigate the truth of the incident immediately. Also, ask someone to compile the crimes that Elijah committed these years, regardless of the scale of his crimes, compile them all."
Jason said worriedly, "Mr President, if this is true, we might not be able to protect Miss Silas."
"We must protect her, there is no if." Nathaniel immediately picked up the phone and called Secretary Hart. He ordered, "Postpone all my schedule for this afternoon."
Secretary Hart looked confused. What the hell was going on with the President? The economic forum was such an important matter, how could he choose not to attend?
However, the President had already ordered him and he had already disappeared after giving the order. What could he do to the President?
As a qualified chief secretary, he was also a secretary the President trusted very much.
Secretary Hart knew that he had to try his best to find a person with high status to take part in the forum instead of the President.
Nathaniel looked at the grey-haired yet still energetic old man in front of him.
He used to be the most influential man in Country A a few decades ago. Now, after Country A had grown massively over the past few years, there were not many people who could be compared with their past glory as he did.
Those years, he had been in charge of the country's military for decades, and his position was high and powerful. He was a very respected figure in people's hearts who had contributed a lot in growing the country.
Although the military of Country A was now under Nathaniel's control, he still respected this old man very much.
He said, "Old Mr Silas, the evidence has been placed in front of you. I'll wait for your final decision."
