Chapter 1439: Chapter 1119: New Lease on Life from a Desperate Situation_2

On the phone, the father-in-law was silent for quite a while before finally saying that he would gather the relevant personnel at the Kremlin within two days to discuss the matter and asked Wang Ye to also attend so that they could discuss it together.

He expressed his gratitude to Wang Ye for giving him a heads-up instead of directly submitting the process to the Duma.

After hanging up the phone, the father-in-law was very moved. At such a critical moment, one could really see one’s true nature!

This young man, Mikhail, did not let him down for all the help he had given him in the past!

If Wang Ye had not made this call but had followed the official procedure instead, he would have been very passive. Although the fraud case had not yet been fully investigated, the evidence available thus far left no doubt that Medvedev was the prime suspect.

He would be implicated as well, since he had been strongly advocating for Medvedev, even leading to a fallout with Grezlov and a split within the Hilarwick Group!

Now that Medvedev had lost his Election Qualification due to the fraud, how would others within the Faction regard him?

Undoubtedly, he would be abandoned by everyone, together with Medvedev...

At the critical moment, Mikhail still remembered their past kindness and lent a hand to him and Medvedev.

However, he would not just sit by and wait for doom. Now that he had gained two days, he must do something...

...

Two days later, Wang Ye received notification from the Kremlin. The father-in-law had once again called all core figures to discuss the issue of General Election fraud.

The attendees included the father-in-law, Gavriil, Medvedev, Grezlov, Wang Ye, Rilinov, Rossiyana, Shao Yigu, Korokolli, Vladimir, the Chief Justice, and others.

This assembly was not small; basically, all of the most central and powerful figures in the Moscow political arena were present!

When Wang Ye arrived at the large Meeting Room next to the father-in-law’s office, many had already taken their seats on either side of the long conference table.

Seeing Wang Ye enter, the father-in-law, who was seated at the head of the table, revealed a slight smile on his serious face and stood up to greet Wang Ye to take a seat beside him.

Once Wang Ye was seated, the meeting began.

Taking advantage of a pause in the father-in-law’s speech, Wang Ye looked at the faces of those present and saw that Medvedev looked the worst, with a furrowed face and a worried expression that reflected his clearly troubled mind.

As for Grezlov, he appeared spirited and clearly knew the situation from the investigation team, aware that this time Medvedev could not escape his fate!

Rossiyana, on the other hand, was calm, not revealing any particular thought.

The others, like Korokolli and Shao Yigu, each had their own concerns. However, this matter wasn’t of great concern to them as whoever ended up in power would likely not affect their careers, so they seemed somewhat indifferent.

...

"Now, let Chairman Mikhail introduce to us the investigation findings of the General Election Fraud Case," the father-in-law said seriously in conclusion.

Wang Ye nodded, opened the folder in his hand, and began to introduce to everyone the findings gathered by the investigation team in Siberia.

"...

According to the current investigation, it has been confirmed that some individuals in several cities in Siberia were using US dollars to buy votes near polling stations and they were asking to vote for Medvedev.

We have collected enough testimonial and physical evidence in this regard to be certain."

After finishing, Wang Ye looked apologetically at Medvedev - there was nothing he could do in such a situation of right and wrong, Medvedev would have to be lucky to fend for himself.

A slight stir went through the meeting room. Although everyone had already known that this issue was certainly related to Medvedev, they couldn’t help but sigh when the results really came out.

If proven to have committed fraud in the General Election, then the consequences for Medvedev would be dire indeed!

Not to mention that he would definitely not be able to continue in the election, he might even have to face legal responsibilities, be dismissed from all positions, and even be imprisoned!

From being one of the top figures in the Government and a prime candidate for the Kremlin to ending up in prison, it just goes to show how unpredictable life can be...

Medvedev bit his lip, his chest heaving, clearly experiencing large emotional swings.

After Wang Ye finished, Grezlov immediately seized the opportunity to kick someone while they were down:

"Heh, I knew it, some people can’t win the General Election through fair competition, so they had to resort to such despicable tactics!

Now that the facts are clear, I wonder what he can still argue."

Rossiyana also shook her head and said, "Ah, there really is no need for that."

Father-in-law looked towards Medvedev and asked seriously, "Medvedev, do you have anything to say?"

Medvedev gave a cold laugh, directly took out two thick folders from the briefcase he carried with him and slammed them onto the meeting table with a "bang".

Then he began to speak:

"Ladies and Gentlemen!

Of course, I have something to say!

These two folders contain some things I have gathered during this period.

Perhaps you are not aware, not only is there election fraud happening in Siberia, but in Petersburg, in the Far East, there are also people buying votes!

Moreover, the names written on those purchased votes are none other than Grezlov and Rossiyana.

How would you explain this!"

The meeting room erupted into noise at once, this was just too dramatic!

It seemed that Medvedev was previously cornered, with Grezlov and Rossiyana sitting pretty about to reap the benefits, but now such a major twist has appeared!

Looking at Medvedev’s expression, it doesn’t seem like the matter was fabricated.

Father-in-law waved his hand, beckoning the staff to bring over the materials. After flipping through them, his face turned very unsightly. He then pushed the folders in front of Wang Ye and said in a low voice, "You take a look too."

Wang Ye opened the folder, which was both pictorial and descriptive; it detailed how in some small towns around Petersburg, as well as some cities in the Far East area, mysterious individuals were buying votes with cash.

It was unclear where Medvedev got the information from, but he must have put in no small effort these past few days; in a very short time, he had gathered all sorts of evidence, his efficiency was not inferior to the Joint Investigation Team led by Dania...

...

Now the situation has become complicated.

Because the investigative report released by the Joint Investigation Team, as well as the material Medvedev brought out, showed that all three candidates had serious suspicions of election fraud, none could escape!

If Medvedev’s Election Qualification is to be canceled based on the report from the Joint Investigation Team and even sent to court, then the same should apply to Grezlov and Rossiyana!

Both Grezlov and Rossiyana were dumbstruck, and after snapping back to reality, Grezlov slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily:

"Ridiculous!

Absurd!

I have absolutely no knowledge of this matter!

I strongly suspect that all these things are orchestrated by Medvedev himself.

Seeing his own election fraud being discovered, he simply decided to go all in, fabricating these things, trying to drag me and Rossiyana down with him!"

Rossiyana very much agreed with Grezlov’s words, she indeed didn’t instruct anyone to buy votes, and now suddenly these materials came out of nowhere, it’s clear someone has deliberately framed her!

At this moment, Medvedev was not panicked anymore, facing Grezlov’s questioning, he simply smiled and countered:

"As for the fraud in Siberia, I was equally unaware, so why do you suspect that I was the one directing it behind the scenes?

Now that things have fallen on your head, do you feel wronged?

I’ve been proclaiming my innocence the past few days, why didn’t you believe me?"

Grezlov was left speechless because what Medvedev said made sense.

At present, there was no evidence to prove that the election fraud was indeed committed by Medvedev; it was only because the media reported that the votes had Medvedev’s name, so naturally, he became the prime suspect under scrutiny.

Now that Medvedev’s materials conspicuously featured both his and Rossiyana’s names, didn’t that make him and Rossiyana the prime suspects as well...

The current situation has become a tangled mess, which actually worked in Medvedev’s favor, it can be said that he had made a narrow escape from desperation!
