Chapter 1017: Chapter 908: Preparing to Close the Net_2

By the time the election results came out, regardless of who won, he quickly handled the transition and then went off to enjoy his retirement!

As for whether those behind him were fighting a life-and-death battle, it no longer had anything to do with him...

......

Outsiders paid no attention to the matter, but Natalia was very concerned.

Because the Presidential Palace specifically named Natalia to serve as the independent prosecutor!

She was tasked with investigating the election fraud...

It was well known that she had just been transferred from Crimea, and she was still unfamiliar with Kiev, to say she was a stranger here would not be an exaggeration.

Why had this difficult task fallen to her?

Colleagues in the Department looked at her with complex expressions, clearly, everyone was aware of this appointment.

However, no one expressed envy, there were even those who sympathized with her.

After all, everyone knew that investigating election fraud was the most troublesome, not only was it thankless, but it also guaranteed to offend people.

Offend them severely...

Of course, if you did not want to make enemies for yourself, you could just go through the motions and end by declaring no one was at fault.

But do you think that wouldn’t offend anyone?

Obviously, that was impossible, doing so would end up offending both sides because neither side got the result they wanted.

Someday when the topic of the election came up, they might just drag you, the "independent prosecutor", out for criticism.

Once one side took power, they certainly wouldn’t be pleased with you, because you didn’t help them attack their opponent at a critical moment.

In any case, it would end with her being unpopular with everyone involved.

"Natalia, this is a rare opportunity for you, having just arrived in Kiev and being young. Many colleagues in the system are a bit resentful of you.

This time prove yourself and show everyone that you have real skills and are not like some say, reliant on connections..."

The Attorney General handed the appointment letter to Natalia while giving her some encouragement.

Truth be told, even the Attorney General was a bit unclear about the current situation.

Especially regarding Natalia’s appointment as independent prosecutor, he was even more puzzled.

A few days ago, the Presidential Palace suddenly issued a directive to transfer Natalia from Crimea to Kiev to serve as Deputy Attorney General.

This was done without prior consultation with him, so he was somewhat displeased, though he did not show it.

He understood that this young woman, Natalia, who ascended so rapidly that she became Deputy Attorney General in her early twenties, making many in the Department jealous and envious, had connections to Gu Qima.

Of course, the exact nature of that relationship was unclear to him.

However, even before Natalia came to Kiev, she had served as a major examiner in Crimea, which was quite impressive.

It seems she had the backing of other Big Shot!

Although Gu Qima was soon to step down, he was still in office, and appointing a Deputy Attorney General, even if the choice was a bit absurd, most people wouldn’t say much about it.

Because for those about to retire, there was generally more tolerance.

After all, a deputy position wasn’t power, as long as they didn’t assign her specific responsibilities, she would just be a marginal figure.

Once Gu Qima stepped down, he could easily find an excuse to dismiss her.

......

After hearing the Attorney General’s words, Natalia smiled slightly, confidently responding, "Thank you for your concern, I will handle this matter well."

"If you need any personnel, just tell me directly, everyone in the Department will cooperate with your work. If cross-department cooperation is necessary, I will also help you coordinate, go ahead confidently and boldly, don’t disappoint the expectations of the Presidential Palace and the Supreme Rada!" the Attorney General said earnestly with genuine concern in his voice.

However, Natalia was unmoved by this, merely smiling slightly and simply responding, "If needed, I will."

She gained confidence because Natalia had realized something.

Although requesting a position in Kiev had been her own idea, Mikhail not only agreed immediately but even transferred her ahead of time.

And just a few days after her arrival, both the Presidential Palace and the Supreme Rada had handed her this sensitive task!

Mikhail was also about to come over to take charge and monitor the General Election.

If Natalia still couldn’t understand anything from all this information combined, then she likely wouldn’t get far in the future...

......

Sure enough, on the evening she received her appointment as the independent prosecutor.

Natalia returned to her apartment in the center of Kiev, a space previously unoccupied by Yulia who had let her stay there.

Just as she had taken off her coat and was leaning on the sofa to rest, the doorbell rang.

This made Natalia somewhat alert.

Because there were security personnel outside, under normal circumstances, either they would knock or inform her through the intercom!

But now, she only heard knocking but no one spoke from outside.

She stood up nervously and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

Then, a voice that surprised and delighted her came through, "It’s me, am I unwelcome?"

She hurriedly walked to the door and upon opening it, Natalia threw herself into the arms of the person standing outside.

It was clearly Wang Ye...

No wonder the security personnel outside had remained silent. With the Big Shot there, they wouldn’t dare to stop him.

Besides, it was unlikely that the Big Shot would harm Natalia.

And even if, by a long shot, the Big Shot wanted to harm Natalia, they...

......

After the hug, the two returned to the room, and Natalia, clinging tightly to Wang Ye’s arm, said joyfully, "How did you get here so soon? I thought you would be coming in a few days."

Wang Ye smiled and patted her arm, "You guessed I was coming?"

"Of course, when I received the appointment letter of the independent prosecutor today, I figured it must have been your idea," Natalia said proudly.

She was not wrong, it indeed was Wang Ye’s idea.

It was after Wang Ye communicated with Gu Qima and even made some promises and concessions that Natalia got the appointment as the "independent prosecutor."

Do not underestimate this position. While it appeared to be of a low level, with dual authorization from the Presidential Palace and the Supreme Rada, its actual power during certain specific periods would be astonishingly large!

Moreover, it could play a decisive role at critical moments!

Therefore, it had to be Natalia who took on this role, as it was necessary to ensure that the appointee was utterly loyal to Wang Ye.

If, at a crucial time, she betrayed him, the consequences would be catastrophic!

Wang Ye nodded meaningfully and said, "You are going to be very busy for a while, so prepare yourself mentally."

Natalia grinned and said cheerfully, "But right now, I’m just a bare commander without any personnel; it will take a long time to set up my team. However, I know you must have already made arrangements!"

She had guessed right again!

With Wang Ye arriving in Kiev, preparations were of course already in place.

Now, whether it was personnel, intelligence, or resources, everything was ready, with each key target under close watch by assigned individuals.

All that was needed was a command from Wang Ye, and the roundup could begin!

But the person to conduct this roundup definitely couldn’t be Wang Ye, at least not openly...

Therefore, Natalia, serving as the Deputy Attorney General, was the most suitable candidate!

Thus came the private "deal" between Wang Ye and Gu Qima, leading to the role of the independent prosecutor and the task to investigate election fraud.

One might say that Kiev now was a grand stage, where all the characters had already made their appearances.

The protagonists were not limited to one, including Yanukovych, Yushchenko, and Yulia.

And Natalia!

Of course, there was only one director...
