1943: Complete Control

Complete Control

"Before this, I really doubted your ability to handle a case. I figured that people like you only got their positions thanks to nepotism. However, now that I've seen this video, I really want to praise you. Captain Zhou, you're really smart and resourceful! No wonder you became the captain of the police at such a young age.1

"Even in a residence with buildings spanning over 100,000 square feet and a garden of more than 75,000 square feet, you didn't need to look long. You didn't even bother looking anywhere else in the room before! You were able to find such a well-hidden secret compartment in the first room you stepped into. You even muttered to yourself, 'Where's the thing...' with a look of great foresight. Captain Zhou, since Elder Wu, the father of the person involved, is here, why don't you tell him how you knew that there was something important in this specific compartment of this specific room? What were you looking for?"

Zhou Wei's expression had already turned extremely sour.

His associates had told him that there were no surveillance cameras in this room. Furthermore, the owner of the room was outside when he entered, so only a few bodyguards were watching them from afar. Therefore, he had not been too cautious. 

Who could have guessed that from the very moment he entered the residence, there had actually been an ultra-clear camera following him the entire time?

"I really want to praise Captain Zhou for being so wise. Unfortunately, even though you were clever enough to find this secret compartment so quickly, you were too impatient. What's that saying? 'Only fools rush in.' That's Captain Zhou to a tee."

Zhou Wei, "..."

"Captain Zhou, is there anything you want to say to us? Look, all your brothers from the police station are at the entrance. They have also seen the video. Your intentions are so clear. Even if you don't want to explain yourself to Elder Wu and the others, don't the brothers who participated in the mission with you and risked their lives for you deserve an explanation? After all, so many people were involved in this operation. None of them benefitted from helping you go after a prominent force like the Wu family. Aren't you just dragging them down with you? If this is what you do, are you truly worthy of your brothers' trust and that epaulet on your shoulder?"

Nangong Nuannuan's words instantly stirred up the police officers who had heard that there was a problem. They came over to see what was happening. After they heard her words, they looked at Zhou Wei with disgust.

Zhou Wei, "..."

Nangong Nuannuan did not need an answer. She continued aggressively. "Oh, I forgot. Even your worldview's messed up. Your moral integrity has crumbled. All you care about is wealth and promotions. How can you say that you care about justice and responsibilities when all you care about is climbing the corporate ladder? How can you claim to care about seeking justice and holding responsibility for your brothers, let alone society?"

Zhou Wei, "..."

"It's a waste of breath saying so much to you. I don't think you'll dare to answer any of these questions. So, you'd best wait for your brothers to take you back to the police station for your chief to personally interrogate you. Like I said before, this matter initially only involved the Wu family. The Wu family and their rivals are at war. As a guest of the family, it's inappropriate for me to interfere too much. However, you insulted my fiance just now, so I'm angry. So, from this point onward, I'll take complete responsibility over this Wu family matter. If you want to blame someone for my interference, blame yourself for speaking out of line just now."

Zhou Wei, "..."

Who was he? Where was he? What had he said just now? Could he ever take back what he said?

When the members of the Wu family heard that Nangong Nuannuan wanted to take complete control of this matter, the joy in their hearts was beyond anything that words could express.
