Chapter 1949: The Contents of The Box

“Governor, you’re doing the right thing. We’ve come so far, and we’re already so close to our goal. If we help Wu Jingzhongget released, won’t all our previous efforts be in vain?”

With the encouragement of his few subordinates, Lan Weisong immediately steeled his heart.

Soldiers who did not want to be generals were not good soldiers! Since he had already come this far, he might as well roll up his sleeves and do it!

At the Wu family residence, Nangong Nuannuan, who had just hung up the video call, looked at Zhou Wei and said, “You’re an abandoned child now. Your superior isn’t protecting you anymore. So, you should just tell us whoever instructed you to do this. If you tell us, we might give you another chance.”

Zhou Wei’s face was ashen. He wanted to tell them, but he did dare to say the words.

Faced with Nangong Nuannuan’s interrogation, Zhou Wei could only tearfully answer that he had been greedy and was going to be rewarded for coming here to search for evidence. As for who the mastermind was, he did not know. He had only gotten involved for the money because his younger brother had gambled away all of his family’s assets and owed a huge amount of gambling debt.

“Miss Nangong, I did this because I had no other choice. Can you spare me this time on account that I’m doing this for my younger brother? This is the first time I’ve ever done something like this. They say that admitting one’s mistakes is solving half the problem. Can you just pretend you didn’t know about this and let me go? I have my elders and a young son to take care of. If my family loses me, I really don’t know what’ll happen to them! I was merely pretending to go around and take something. Please let me go!”

Zhou Wei could see that among all these people, Nangong Nuannuan was the big boss in charge. If Nangong Nuannuan was willing to let him go, he would be fine.

“Let you go? Why should I let you go? Who the hell are you? Your elders and children are none of my business! Brother Chi Yang, how should I deal with this scum?”

“I’ll give Yin Ge a call and ask him to bring people to take Zhou Wei away.”

“Okay. There’s also this policeman!” Nuannuan pointed at a small policeman who had made himself even smaller and was hiding at the back of the crowd. She continued, “The camera is on him. He too wants to take it away for investigation.”

“Okay.”

The group of policemen who came with Zhou Wei were kept in check by the Wu family’s bodyguards. They waited for Yin Ge to send someone trustworthy to take them away.

Nangong Nuannuan went to the living room with Elder Wu and the rest.

“Elder Wu, I have something to show you,” said Nuannuan as Elder Wu was just about to discuss countermeasures with his family.

“What is it?”

Nangong Nuannuan looked at Sze Lingyun, who retrieved the items from her bag.

“My senior sister is a magic expert. She is well-versed in illusions—but I won’t go into boring details. I actually first called you guys in just now because I noticed Zhou Wei’s strange behavior. I was afraid that he would try to frame you, so I brought you guys to help look for him. I also asked Senior Sze to use her illusion spell when he wasn’t paying attention, leaving the secret compartment looking empty. In reality, there was indeed something in there.”

“What?’ Elder Wu and the members of the Wu family were all intrigued.

“This was what was in there. I haven’t seen it yet. Take a look at this.”

Elder Wu took the box with both hands. Inside it was a check and a contract signed by a few relatives of the Wu family. The contract stated that the four-mile-long road had been divided into 31 sections and subcontracted to the three relatives of the Wu family.
