“Since this is the Wu family’s matter, now that this has happened, the head of the Wu family, Wu Jingzhong, should take responsibility. Don’t you agree, Miss Nangong? If I started this incident and got my Lan family involved, then I would take responsibility for the entire incident. Miss Nangong, you asking me to let him go is really quite an imposition.

“But don’t worry, Miss Nangong. I’ve reported Zhou Wei’s actions to the Ministry of Justice. Since Miss Nangong is so close to the Wu family, she must already know what happened last night. A prison guard poisoned Wu Zongxu in prison and killed him. After that, they went to Xu Binren’s residence. My people were paying close attention to the situation. Not only did they arrest Zhou Wei, but they also connected Xu Binren to the case. With Xu Binren arrested, Wu Jingzhong’s responsibility in this matter will shrink and his sentence will be lighter.

“Miss Nangong, I really want to help you and release Wu Jingzhong from jail, but I’m not in the place to do that. I really want us to be allies, so I’ve done my best in this matter. I’ve done my best for the Wu family! Miss Nangong, please don’t make things difficult for me anymore…”

“Hehe.” Nangong Nuannuan sneered and replied, “What if I insist on making things difficult for you?”

Lan Weisong frowned unhappily. “Miss Nangong, if you insist on making things difficult for me, I have no choice but to report this matter to the s.h.i.+ family. Even though you’re the deeply beloved eldest daughter of the Nangong family, who only found you after many years, the s.h.i.+ family and the Nangong family are equally matched. I don’t think you want the Nangong family and the s.h.i.+ family fighting over this small matter that pertains to the Wu family, right?

“Miss Nangong, I truly want to treat you as a friend, which is why I’m telling you the truth. This is coming from the very bottom of my heart. The s.h.i.+ family and the Nangong family are both magnates. If we fight openly or in secret, it’s very likely that mutually a.s.sured destruction will be the case. Are you willing to watch the Nangong family get hurt by the Wu family, to whom you’re completely unrelated?

“Miss Nangong, I can only help you so much. If you insist on forcing my hand, I’ll have to bring this to the s.h.i.+ family. But if you let this matter go, I can promise you that I’ll protect the Wu family for your sake. In the future, even if the Wu family doesn’t get Wu Jingzhong back, I can still open some doors for them. After all, the Wu family is pretty prominent within Sea District. What do you think of this win-win proposition, Miss Nangong?”

When the Wu family members heard Lan Weisong’s words, they felt very heavy-hearted.

After all, Nangong Nuannuan had gone up against Lan Weisong because she wanted to help them. Even though they knew that Lan Weisong was the mastermind behind all this, but they really could not bear to allow Nangong Nuannuan to go up against the s.h.i.+ family on behalf of their Wu family.

The members of the Wu family were all kind-hearted. After Old Wu heard Lan Weisong’s words, he instinctively took a step forward and got ready to tell Nangong Nuannuan his plan.

Who could have guessed that the moment he took a step forward, Nangong Nuannuan would say, “Alright. Since Governor Lan doesn’t know how to appreciate favors, you can call the s.h.i.+ family and report this matter to them. Either way, I want Wu Jingzhong out today no matter what. If you don’t take the initiative to handle this matter well, I’ll handle it myself in an hour. Governor Lan, listen up. You have one hour.”

Lan Weisong had already walked to the lounge behind the conference room.
