Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 772 Comprehensive Analysis

With a rational analysis, Di Mingzhe said, "First of all, he is the incumbent President, representing the state. If you refuse to take part forcefully, he will surely resort to underhanded tactics, because the State Sports Association, and indeed the whole Golden Palace, would support his actions. Do you think you have the power to contend with a state?"

But there is a downside to his scheming – he can only force you to participate and not guarantee that you will indeed win. Nevertheless, it is not impossible for him to act desperately and harm you by any means, such as arbitrarily accusing your school of some offense and closing your university directly. Your company and your subsidiaries might also be destabilized by him."

Moreover, there’s Gu Qibao. The Gu Family is just ordinary citizens. They can’t compete with the government, who can randomly accuse them and lock them up in the police station however they like, until you surrender. If he isn’t resorting to dirty tactics now, it’s because he cares about his reputation and prestige. If you pressure him too much, I can assure you that he will go to any extremes."

Contrary to disputing the points made by Di Mingzhe, Di Mingjue agreed with them and merely wanted to hear the full plan from Di Mingzhe.

Seeing that Di Mingjue was silent, Di Mingzhe continued, "But if you do participate and win the title for the nation, gaining him prestige in history, and having people singing your praises, it’s not a bad thing. Furthermore, if you win, you will necessarily be the center of attention, winning glory for the nation and the family. If it benefits him and us, why not do it?

If you win, your status would be different, and it would be even harder for him to make a move on you then. The reason you don’t want to participate couldn’t possibly be because you’re afraid of not securing the championship, right?"

With these words, Di Mingzhe couldn’t help but laugh.

Di Mingjue also laughed, his sexy thin lips lifting, but he still maintained his icy cold demeanor, and said, "The time I used then broke the world record. Five years have passed, and no one has been able to break it. I’m not sure if there are masters deliberately keeping low profile, or they really can’t break my record."

Di Mingzhe nodded. "Since you’re confident, why not participate? It’s not like you’re the only one taking part, it’s just that you may be the most likely candidate to win the championship. Is the title of World Champion not tantalizing enough?"

Di Mingjue looked at Di Mingzhe, a smile spreading at the corner of his lips but his eyes revealing a touch of coldness. After pondering for a few seconds, his hands folded, and he stared directly at Di Mingzhe, before slowly saying, "Perhaps, things are not as simple as you put it, right?"

Understanding the implication, Di Mingzhe smirked, exhibiting a composed mastermind aura, and raised an eyebrow, "Or perhaps, you’re overthinking it."

Di Mingjue pursed his lips, "Walking one step at a time and considering ten steps ahead is a common strategy in chess. Me becoming the world champion and him making history might seem harmonious, but in reality there’s conflict, depending on how you choose to navigate this relationship.

You and I are brothers. Even if it’s not during your term, my being a champion will inevitably associate with you. Winning the championship would make me a national hero. Since ancient times, which golden age didn’t have heroes dying first?

As the saying goes, ’too much success provokes envy’. If I really win, the glory of the Di Family will outshine others. Whether he allows you to successfully run for the next presidency, or takes the opportunity to remove the hero while he can, I’m afraid you have to decide that.

He may not scheme against me now, but once it’s done, he can still scheme against me later. He holds the authority while I’m a civilian – wouldn’t it take him a second to harm me? If you were his son-in-law, naturally it would be one family, but you’re not his son-in-law now. Do you think he will swallow his pride and let my Di Family outshine all others in this empire?"
