So, do you want to seek justice for the s.h.i.+ family and Lan Weisong?

s.h.i.+ Maowen was furious, but he did not dare to refute the presidents question. He could only explain with a forced smile. President, this is Lan Weisongs responsibility. Thats an indisputable fact. But I will definitely investigate the entire case and clear the Wu familys name. I promise Ill handle this matter well! I definitely wont let this have a lasting effect on society. I wont let Governor Wu, a good official dedicated to serving the country and its people, suffer any injustice! President, please believe me! Ill definitely handle this matter well.

The president looked at s.h.i.+ Maowen, his expression still indifferent. He said, I hope I wont have to see the s.h.i.+ family using their power to silence others ever again. That family will step on their own friends in their climb toward ultimate power.

You wont. Dont worry, President. This is really just a very unfortunate accident. Even though Lan Weisong is part of the s.h.i.+ family, his actions dont speak for them. But I know that no matter how much I explain things to you now, itll be useless. So, I ask that you and your colleagues just watch me. Ill definitely handle this matter well. Ill give the Wu family and the public a good explanation.

Then you can go and handle this matter as well as you claim you will. You dont have to stay for the rest of the meeting.

Yes. s.h.i.+ Maowen bowed to the president and his other colleagues again before leaving with a solemn face.

He walked out of the executive hall and got into his car. Only then did he take out his secret phone and dial Lan Weisongs number.

Lan Weisong was still in the meeting room of the administrative department. He was at a loss for words. When he saw s.h.i.+ Maowens phone call, he left the meeting room, looking as if he had seen his savior. He walked into an empty office, immediately locked the door, and picked up the phone.

Fourth Young Master, you called at just the right time. Save me! Save me! Lan Weisong was very afraid. His voice trembled as he spoke.

He did not understand how he had been so sure of victory just a moment ago. The tables had turned on him so quickly.

Only the s.h.i.+ family could keep this matter under wraps, and even then, it would not be easy. He was afraid that the s.h.i.+ family would not help him, and he was even more afraid that the s.h.i.+ family would kick him out.

Therefore, at this moment, Lan Weisong s.h.i.+fted his targets to the Nangong family.

Nangong Nuannuan is a crazy b*tch! She doesnt consider the s.h.i.+ family human at all. Everything was going to plan, and I was very sure I would be able tocapture Wu Jingzhong and Xu Binren in one fell swoop. Once I did, the s.h.i.+ family would have the final say in Sea District. However, when my people went to investigate the Wu family and find the evidence, Nangong Nuannuan got in the way. Not only did she capture Zhou Wei, but she also hacked me and threatened me to release Wu Jingzhong within a day.

Ive already done so much. I carry the s.h.i.+ familys and your hopes for me on my shoulders. It wasnt easy for me to capture Wu Jingzhong, so why should I release him?

Nangong Nuannuan has really gone too far. After threatening me yesterday afternoon, she called me an hour ago and threatened me a second time. I see that she really thinks of our s.h.i.+ family as sub-human! I think the s.h.i.+ and Nangong families are of equal caliber. How can I be threatened by a tiny whippet of a girl?
