Chapter 2011: Determination and Nonchalance

Nuannuan, this isnt a joke. Once we make a move, the Nangong family might come face-to-face with the full wrath of the s.h.i.+ family.

Come on! You make it sound like my family is afraid of the s.h.i.+ family. Elder Wu, no matter what happens, the Nangong family still outranks the s.h.i.+ family. If Im not worried, why are you?

Elder Wu,

Youre still young. You dont understand how important this is, Old Wu said. Then, he looked at Chi Yang and asked, Lieutenant General Chi, can you suggest a way to save Jingzhong and restore him to his previous position without angering the s.h.i.+ Family?

Old Wus face was full of hope, but Chi Yang merely responded with a single, blunt sentence.

Why should I care about that? I only care about keeping my family safe and loved.

Elder Wu,

The members of the Wu Family,

Finally, in the face of Nangong Nuannuans determination and Chi Yangs nonchalance, Elder Wu backed down.

They would take things one step at a time.

If the Nangong family really went up against the s.h.i.+ family, the Wu family would be willing to mobilize all their manpower, financial resources, and material resources to support the Nangong family.

Even though their family did not have much of a relations.h.i.+p with the military base and the administrative office, they were still rich! They had a lot of money! Their finances were certainly not inferior to the financial strength of the four great families of Emperor District. If they really wanted to go all out, even if they could not completely take down the s.h.i.+ family, they could at least wear them out.

Anyway, the fact that Chi Yang had maintained a calm demeanor from the very beginning of the situation calmed Elder Wu significantly.

An hour later, Nangong Nuannuan called Lan Weisong again.

He decisively declined the call.

He felt that Nangong Nuannuans request was extremely excessive. Even if she wanted to make trouble with the Nangong family, and the Nangong family wanted to make trouble with the s.h.i.+ family, he was still in the right.

Even after what the prison guard told him about the video, he was not afraid at all.

His reaction differed greatly from Xu Binrens, who had been so scared that he wet his pants when he heard about the video. He had fallen for Wu Zongxus trap.

Whenever he spoke to Wu Zongxu, Xu Binren could observe that he was a twisted person. Even if he was close to the Wu family, Xu Binren could never trust such a mansomeone like him would not hesitate to betray Xu Binren whenever convenient. If this man possessed such a d.a.m.ning video, who would he have given it to for safekeeping?

He could not trust anyone but himself.

Therefore, if there truly was a video, he would have hidden it himself and not given it to anyone.

Wu Zongxu had not been dragged into the police station over this incidenthe had been sent to prison by the Wu family because he orchestrated Wu Pingtings rape. It had been a sudden falling out with the family. Thus, the video definitely could not be leaked through any channels.

Therefore, upon learning that Wu Zongxu had a video, Lan Weisong only had to think about it for a moment before feeling relieved.

Even if there was a video, it was definitely not in the Wu familys hands, let alone the Xu familys.

As long as it did not end up in either of the two familys hands, once he became governor, he would be able to get rid of anyone who possessed the video.

After thinking through this matter, Lan Weisong was no longer afraid. He was bold and decisive. Even though he was going up against the daughter of the Nangong family and the young master of the Chi family, he still had a good chance of fighting his way to the role of governor of a province.

Therefore, no matter what Nangong Nuannuan wanted, he refused to back down, let alone talk to the head of the s.h.i.+ family about this matter.

After all, Nangong Nuannuan was the one being unreasonable in the first place.

The meeting he had left was still ongoing.
