Chapter 2072 - Too Serious

In the car, Wu Jingzhong had imagined many scenes of how he would confront Shi Maowen, but never in any of these scenarios dodge think that Shi Maowen would lower himself so much as to open his door for him.

“Officer Shi.” Wu Jingzhong stepped out of the car and nodded slightly at Shi Maowen.

Shi Maowen reached out and shook hands with Wu Jingzhong. “I’m really sorry, Officer Wu. I’ve let you suffer. I was entrusted by the executive hall to come here with my comrades from the Ministry of Justice to clear your name. I won’t let the person who framed you get away!”

After listening to Shi Maowen’s words, Wu Jingzhong knew that Officer Shi had come here personally to slit his own wrists.

Lan Weisong was a lieutenant governor, after all, but he was about to be abandoned by this officer.

Looking at Shi Maowen’s apologetic and regretful face, Wu Jingzhong also gestured.

“Thank you, Officer Shi, for upholding justice for me. I can’t thank you enough.”

“What does Governor Wumean? As the governor of Sea District, you’ve worked tirelessly and made countless contributions to the district’s development. It’s amazing Sea District’s tax revenue is now nearing to Emperor District’s. Before your release, the executive hall’s network was hacked into, and a video showing how you donated 2 billion to build 20 schools played for all of us. If even a good official like you can’t be given justice after being wronged, wouldn’t other officials be disheartened?”

Shi Maowen had an excellent tone, but he had specifically emphasized the matter of the executive hall’s network being hacked.

Wu Jingzhong knew that the Shi family would definitely be angry after suffering such a huge loss.

Then again, so what if they were angry?

He already knew that Nangong Nuannuan was the chairman of the Imperial Phoenix Group and Tianheng Holdings. He also knew that Nangong Nuannuan was a hacker and most importantly, that the Shi family was wary of her.

Nangong Nuannuan was backing up the Wu family.

Wu Jingzhong was a governor, after all. He would always be courageous and bold.

Facing Shi Maowen, Wu Jingzhong smiled slightly. “Officer Shi, you’re too serious. It’s my honor to have you personally take charge and have the comrades from the Ministry of Justice clear my name. I believe that our comrades watching from the sidelines will be able to see that although justice may arrive late, it will never be absent. As long as you do things properly, justice will always prevail over evil.”

Seeing that Wu Jingzhong was not afraid of him at all and even underhandedly ridiculed the Shi family and called them evil, Shi Maowen was infuriated. However, at this moment, he could not do anything to Wu Jingzhong.

However, his mind was made up. Even though the Shi family had lost this battle, they would win the war.

Not only had Wu Jingzhong blocked the Shi family’s path, but he had also tarnished Shi Maowen’s reputation. He definitely had to get revenge for this.

Nangong Nuannuan could protect the Wu family for a while, but she could not protect them forever.

Even though the Wu family was the richest family in Sea District, they were nothing compared to the Shi family.

“Governor Wu is right. Today morning, the meeting involving all the big names will be held. All the heads of Sea District’s various departments will be present. After all, Governor Wu has suffered at the hands of the Ministry of Justice for the past few days. I must be responsible for restoring Governor Wu’s reputation.”

“Thank you, Officer Shi. Thank you.”

“No, thank you.”

Shi Maowen and Wu Jingzhong had both been involved in politics for many years. They knew very well that no matter how much hatred and anger they had in their hearts, they could not show it. Thus, the two of them behaved like old friends. They walked into the administrative department side by side with great enthusiasm.
