Chapter 1945: Nangong Nuannuan Is The Devil

The higher-ups had issued a warning against provoking Nangong Nuannuan because of the Imperial Phoenix Group that she governed, the Tianheng Holdings that she owned, and her close friends and family.

He thought that because Sea District was not directly under the emperor’s nose like Emperor District, the devilish Nangong Nuannuan definitely could not harm him here.

Who could have guessed that upon acting out what he had thought was a genius plan, he would actually be caught by Nangong Nuannuan?

What should he do now?

The man’s thoughts raced. When Elder Wu saw this man, his eyes narrowed.

Seeing that Nuannuan did not intend to let this man off the hook, Elder Wu was concerned that she would cause trouble for the Nangong family by provoking such a powerful enemy. Thus, he quickly stepped forward, laughed at the video, and said, “So it’s the governor of Orchid District! It seems that there’s been some sort of misunderstanding.”

When they saw Elder Wu stepping forward to try to calm the situation, the governor of Orchid District immediately chimed in. He said, “Miss Nangong, Lieutenant General Chi, this is a misunderstanding! This is really a misunderstanding! Governor Wu is an honest and upstanding official with a pristine reputation. This very sudden incident shocked us as his brothers, so I just wanted to find out what was going on with him.

“The Wu family is one of the richest families in Sea District. Among other things, Governor Wu received a dividend of 500 to 100 million yuan from the Wu group annually. I heard that Wu Group’s stock has soared in the past two years, so Governor Wu received a dividend of 200 million yuan each for both of those years. He already has so much money. Why would he care about making such a small profit? So, when I heard that the police were going to the Wu family’s residence to collect evidence, I asked this young police officer to bring a camera to record whatever happened there. Of course, my ultimate goal was to see if I could help Governor Wu.”

By the end of his speech, even the governor of Orchid District began to believe himself. He sighed and said, “Elder Wu, the city has been helping with trying to think of a way to resolve this matter. Don’t worry, society is ruled by law nowadays. The executive hall highly values honest and upstanding officials like Governor Wu. He has made great contributions to the people of Sea District. How can we do wrong toward meritorious officials of our district?”

Elder Wu nodded. “Thanks to the support of brothers like you in the city, I’m not so worried. Governor, you have good backing and knowledge. I’ll leave Jingzhong’s matter to you.”

…

Previously, he heard that the Shi family had targeted the Nangong family and even caused the sixth young master of their family, Nangong Ze, to suffer a great loss. However, the Nangong family seemed to retaliate, as the Shi family personally worked to clear Nangong Ze’s name. Now, Nangong Ze had successfully risen from the ashes. This demonstrated that the Nangong family had the upper hand in this confrontation between two families.

Even so, the rise of the Shi family was still unstoppable. The previous rankings of the four top families had been the Nangong family first, followed by the Ning family, the Xiao family, and finally the Shi family. However, now it had become the Nangong family, followed by the Shi family, the Ning family, and finally the Xiao family. This proved how quickly the Shi family was rising.

They wanted Nangong Nuannuan and Chi Yang to lend them a hand, and they were also sincerely grateful to Nangong Nuannuan. Elder Wu viewed Nangong Nuannuan as a junior and believed that Pingting saw her as a genuine friend. Thus, he did not want to bring shame to the Nangong family.

Although Nangong Nuannuan did not know the governor of Orchid District, Elder Wu seemed to be extremely respectful toward this mere deputy governor.
