Chapter 1939: How Can I Help You?
“We’re just here to do our jobs by the book, and it’s our duty to ask questions. So, please don’t be angry, Elder Wu and Chairman Wu. Since the Wu family residence is so large, we’ll have to take a longer time to go through everything and everyone. We can’t just sit here and do nothing, right?”
Upon listening to Zhou Wei, Elder Wu and Wu Jingcheng’s expressions lightened.
Elder Wu and Wu Jingcheng were actually unaware of the hidden compartment in this room. However, given the sheer size of the Wu family and their residence, it was possible that even the housekeeper and servants were responsible for this. Maybe the entire family was unaware of this. Therefore, Elder Wu and Wu Jingcheng did not give it much thought.
“Clean up the place.”
“Yes.”
The Wu family then saw that although the police had completely trashed their rooms, they were willing to tidy them up and restore them to their original state. Thus, the feeling of being provoked and wanting to mess with the arrogant police dissipated.
After all, everyone had their own responsibilities to attend to. They believed that the police would not be willing to investigate the Wu family too deeply.
Elder Wu looked at Nangong Nuannuan and quietly asked her what she was doing in this room.
Nangong Nuannuan signaled to Elder Wu with her eyes, telling him to be patient.
Under the pressure of the gazes of Chi Yang, Nangong Nuannuan, and the members of the Wu family, Zhou Wei tidied up the things in the room and kept up his good attitude. After making sure that everything had been restored and would no longer arouse the resentment of the members of the Wu family, he spoke. “Elder Wu, we might have to stay here for another hour and a half. I’ll go to the next room now.”
Elder Wu glanced at him. He was about to turn to give way to Zhou Wei when Nangong Nuannuan suddenly spoke up.
“Stop.”
The leg that Zhou Wei had put forward froze. After a moment of thought, he retreated.
......
Previously, he did not know the true identities of Chi Yang and Nangong Nuannuan. All he knew was that Chi Yang was an officer at the military base because Chi Yang had shown him an officer pass for the Eagle Special Forces.
Later, when he found out that the man was actually the head of the military base, and when he heard Nangong Nuannuan call him ‘Big Brother Chi Yang’, Zhou Wei immediately realized who Chi Yang really was.
Chi Yang was not only the head of the Eagle Special Forces but also the only grandson of the Old Marshal Chi Yuancheng, who held a status so prestigious that no one in the military could compare to him.
Zhou Wei had also closely followed the Emperor District poisoning case. After remembering Chi Yang’s role in the media coverage, he immediately realised that the woman by his side who had called him ‘Big Brother Chi Yang’ had to be the daughter of the first-class wealthy Nangong family, Nangong Nuannuan.
They were people that a small-time criminal police captain like him would never dare to offend. Even the people above him could not afford to offend them.
He never thought these two very important people would suddenly appear out of nowhere. However, he knew that he could not afford to offend or neglect them.
Therefore, when Nangong Nuannuan called out to him, Zhou Wei immediately turned around and asked respectfully, “Miss Nangong, how can I help you?”
Nangong Nuannuan revealed a beautiful smile, then asked, “Captain Zhou, I moved into the Wu family residence yesterday. Even though it’s been almost two days, I still haven’t finished exploring the entire residence. I only learned that the Wu family residence was so big after hearing Elder Wu say that the total area of the three buildings is 100,000 square feet.”
Zhou Wei responded politely. “Yes, Miss Nangong. The Wu family is the richest family in Sea District, after all. Even though their status isn’t comparable to first-class wealthy families in Emperor District, economically speaking, the four big families in Emperor District aren’t too much richer than the Wu family.”
