1948: Empty Threats

Empty Threats

Nangong Nuannuan smiled. When Lan Weisong saw her smile, he returned hers with a steady smile. Elder Wu was suspicious of the smiling. He thought that Nangong Nuannuan was definitely going to say something fierce. Who could have known that Nangong Nuannuan would actually nod and agree? She responded, "Alright then. I'm a girl who isn't in the executive hall. I can't force the governor of Orchid District to do something just because I have a formidable background. If it's inconvenient for the governor, never mind."0

Never mind?

Had Nangong Nuannuan just said it was okay?

Did she believe he was innocent?

Maybe she was just disappointed in his explanation and had decided to handle Wu Jingzhong herself.

Even though she was in possession of the video, he had already informed Zhou Wei about it. Even if Zhou Wei was sentenced to life, he would not dare betray him.

Nangong Nuannuan could not get any more evidence, and Wu Jingzhong had indeed subcontracted the project. The Wu family were still the only people who benefited from this. This was already the best proof they could gather. If Nangong Nuannuan could let this matter go and wait for it to be resolved, the position of governor would be vacated. Even if he still had to deal with Deputy Governor Xu first, the Xu family had the dirty Xu Feiyang. Thus, the position of the governor would certainly be given to him.

"It's not inconvenient. After all, I've already promised Miss Nangong that I'd do my best. However, this evidence only proves that someone didn't like Governor Wu. It doesn't mean anything more than that. Elder Wu, you still have to send your own people to investigate and identify the person who seems to hate Governor Wu so much. If Governor Wu is taken down, who would benefit most?"

Elder Wu nodded. "Alright, I'll investigate this matter. Thank you, Governor Lan."

"You're welcome. If that's it, I'll hang up."

Since Nangong Nuannuan was not saying anything else, Lan Weisong ended the video call.

Once the video call ended, he picked up his laptop and threw it on the ground. It made a loud crashing sound. He stomped on it twice.

This was simply too troublesome!

"Governor, this..."

His secretary wanted to speak but was stopped.

Lan Weisong called over a group of professionals and had them inspect every order of his office to see if any hidden cameras or listening devices had been placed inside. Only then did he gather a few trusted subordinates and have the secretary explain to them what had just happened.

"What do you all think about this matter? Should I help Wu Jingzhong or continue being a silent bystander?"

Upon hearing the secretary's tale, everyone fell silent.

"I think the focus of this matter should be Nangong Nuannuan. We need to see if Nangong Nuannuan will go against the Shi family just for the sake of the Wu family. I'm afraid that her last sentence was a warning. She was warning the governor to release him by tomorrow.

"Even if she's the daughter of a first-rate family, she doesn't have the right to threaten people like this, right? I think that she's using her power from the Nangong family to force us to act. But even if we ignore her, she won't actually dare to do anything. After all, we have the Shi family to back us up. Everyone's fighting because Nangong Ze was wronged. But we didn't make Nangong Nuannuan feel wronged. The Wu family and the Nangong family have no grudges, so how can she use us to vent her frustrations? Looking back, it's obvious that she's just using her power to threaten us."
