Chapter 2016 - We Need To Learn!

“Fake! It’s all fake! This damn Wu Zongxu. He actually dared to frame me! This is all doctored evidence! Quick, turn it off!”

Lan Weisong tried to move to turn off the LED screen’s power source himself, but Yin Li blocked his path.

“Yin Li, what are you doing?”

Yin Li sneered. “We should be the ones asking you what you’re doing! Since you let us watch Governor Wu’s video, why can’t we watch yours?”

“That’s right! Governor Wu hasn’t been even been convicted yet, and you’re already showing everyone his video. Why can’t we watch yours?”

A majority of the officials in the administration department were sincerely trying to help society. Especially in recent years under Wu Jingzhong’s leadership, Sea District could be said to be a very politically healthy place.

Many people found it hard to believe that Wu Jingzhong was really involved in this incident. How could they not want to see this intriguing new video exposing a new angle to the situation? Everyone clamored to watch it.

The LED screen could not be turned off, so the video continued to play.

The video’s scene changed. Wu Zongxu had been arrested and was threatening the prison guard, telling them that he had recorded Xu Binren’s actions and that if he died, the videos would immediately be leaked.

Then, he prepared to eat—before the prison guard smashed his rice bowl with a grim expression.

Wu Zongxu was not angry at all. He proudly asked the prison guard to prepare him another meal. The guard asked Wu Zongxu what he wanted in exchange for keeping quiet, and Wu Zongxu demanded one billion yuan.

The prison guard left and called Lan Weisong.

The phone call connected. The video now had two recordings side-by-side, one showing the prison guard and the other showing Lan Weisong.

“Governor Lan, Wu Zongxu told me just now that he secretly recorded Xu Binren. He bought a pinhole camera from the Imperial Phoenix Group. It is the most advanced camera on the market at the moment, so Xu Binren never found out that he was recording. I suspect he may have also recorded you two’s interactions. I initially planned to listen to Xu Binren and poison Wu Zongxu, but he seemed to know that his food was poisoned. Now, he wants me to blackmail Xu Binren for one billion yuan. What should I do?”

“Hehe, play along and poison him. Then, you can go to Xu Binren and tell him about this. I’ll get someone to arrest you and Xu Binren at the same time to kill two birds with one stone. It’ll be a little hard on you, though.”

“Governor Lan, don’t worry. It won’t be hard on me. I’ll go and try to poison him again. After that, I’ll go to Xu Binren’s place. From now on, my family is under Governor Lan’s care.”

Upon hanging up, the prison guard removed his SIM card and destroyed it. Then, he ran to the kitchen and ordered a new meal. Once it was prepared, he added a few more ingredients to it and brought it to Wu Zongxu.

When he was done, he immediately drove out of the detention center to the Xu family’s residence.

Wu Zongxu, who was still in the prison cell, did not suspect anything. After eating the poisoned meal, blood gushed out of his mouth. The prison guard who had been assigned to guard Wu Zongxu’s prison cell had left to meet with Xu Binren.

Then, everyone clearly saw and heard Lan Weisong greet the police at the police station and ask them to go to the Xu family’s house to arrest Xu Binren in half an hour.

A half-hour passed, and the prison guard walked out of the Xu family residence only to be caught by Lan Weisong’s men. The prison guard apologized to then Xu Binren, which further confirmed Xu Binren’s crime.

After that, the prison guard’s personal information was displayed on the big screen.
