If Lan Weisonghad known about this, he would have given Nangong Nuannuan a reasonable excuse the moment he met her.
He was just about to stretch out his hand to silence everybody. He wanted to tell everyone that if they had any doubts about this matter, he would approach the Ministry of Justice about conducting another trial based on the points that everyone had just raised to make sure no criminal was allowed to continue roaming free and no hero went unrewarded. However, before he could do so, he received a text message.
Because Yin Li had been arguing with him just now, he could not answer Nangong Nuannuan’s call. When she called again, he still had to decline.
He was too occupied to read this text message right now.
Just as he was about to make a decision, he received a second text message. Annoyed, he retrieved his phone and opened the two messages to read them.
The moment he saw the contents of the messages, Lan Weisong felt his heart drop to his stomach. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Nangong Nuannuan’s first message was:
[Governor Lan, an hour has passed. You’ve really pissed me off. If I told you that I had the video Wu Zongxu recorded, would you still be able to continue speaking with those department heads with such awe-inspiring righteousness?]
The second message read:
[It seems like Governor Lan isn’t going to pay attention to me. I’ve already tried to preserve the Shi family’s honor, and it’s you who’s denying it now. So, you can’t blame me for not giving you another chance. Governor Lan, please look at the big screen.]
Even though Lan Weisong did not know what the last sentence meant, after reading the two messages, he immediately got up to call Nangong Nuannuan.
What he wanted to say to Nangong Nuannuan could not be heard by the others in the meeting.
However, the moment he stood up, the big LED screen that had been turned off suddenly came alive again.
“Governor Lan, I’ve already framed Xu Binren like you asked me to. He thought that I wanted to frame Wu Jingzhong because I hated him and because I lacked money. That’s why he’s always trusted me and supported me in framing him.”
Lan Weisong was trying to make a call to Nangong Nuannuan. Just as he was about to tell Nangong Nuannuan that he was going to release Wu Jingzhong, Wu Zongxu’s voice came through the speakers of the LED screen. His first words were ‘Governor Lan’, and the video had Lan Weisong front and center.
“Turn it off! Turn it off immediately!”
Lan Weisong’s expression drastically changed. He berated the staff member in charge for not immediately unplugging the large screen. However, even after the unplugging, the video did not stop. As he berated the staff member, he spoke again in the video.
“So, do you really hate Wu Jingzhong? Are you trying to frame him because you’re short of funds?”
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s indeed because I hate him. I hate him for not giving me money and not helping me start my company. I hate him for holding some much power, yet never allowing me to work for him. I’m very grateful to Governor Lan for giving me this opportunity to work for you. I’ll definitely serve you and the Shi family well. Right now, this matter is only a small thing to the state—but once it has some time to develop, it will drag both Wu Jingzhong and Xu Binren down with it.”
“Hehehe…” In the video, Lan Weisong laughed very happily. “If you do well, I’ll give you more opportunities to serve the Shi family in the future.”
