After making sure that Wu Jingzhong would not logically benefit from committing this crime, Nangong Nuannuan did not hesitate to stand by the Wu family’s side.

She wholeheartedly agreed with Elder Wu’s method of controlling Zhou Wei at this moment.

Zhou Wei anxiously said, “Miss Nangong, the chief arranged the search. You and Lieutenant General Chi also told our chief that you wouldn’t interfere in this matter. Before I came here, I said that if Miss Nangong and Lieutenant General Chi were to interfere, it wouldn’t be a big deal. I could just casually write a report and fool them. It was precisely because I obtained their tacit approval that I brought my men to the Wu family residence. Now that you’re talking to me like this, I feel wronged! Since Miss Nangong and Lieutenant General Chi have decided to interfere, I’ll ask my men to stand down. As for the search results, Miss Nangong and Lieutenant General Chi, please rest assured that I’ll definitely report that there were no problems.”

Right now, all he wanted to do was to leave.

If the Wu family captured him and turned him out, he would lose more than he stood to gain. Even if the person he took orders from did not suffer, he himself certainly would.

Nangong Nuannuan was amused by Zhou Wei’s words.

“Captain Zhou, apart from me, my fiance, and the Wu family, there’s no need for you to feel wronged. My fiance is the commander-in-chief of the Eagle Special Forces. The blood, sweat, and tears he’s sacrificed for the sake of this country and its people is beyond anything you can imagine, and certainly not something you can slander. In my heart, my fiance is the most righteous, kind, upstanding, and loving person in the world. I won’t allow anyone to slander him, discredit him, or tarnish his reputation! If you’re a dirty cop, that’s your business. There are laws to punish you. But if you try to link your corrupted nature to my fiance, then you’ve really offended me!”

Nangong Nuannuan had said everything she needed to. Her words scared Zhou Wei so much that he staggered a few steps back, his eyes wide open.

He never thought that a rich young lady from a hallway house could have such a strong presence.

He was shocked. He quickly explained, “Miss Nangong, I didn’t mean to slander you and Lieutenant General Chi. I really don’t know what you’re talking about. I thought that you and Lieutenant General Chi were living in Elder Wu’s house and had a good relationship with him. That’s why… That’s… It’s my fault! I shouldn’t have said that! I too believe that Lieutenant General Chi is an upstanding and righteous officer!”

Nangong Nuannuan sneered. “It’s a pity that even though you can try to make up for what you’ve said, it’s already been put out there. You can’t take back what you’ve already said or done.”

Zhou Wei, “…”

He felt like women and villains were the most difficult people to deal with in this world.

This was simply too much!

He had only been trying to excuse himself for a moment. How had he ended up offending her? She was simply being unruly and unreasonable.

“Elder Wu, may I borrow a laptop?”

“I’ll go get one!”

Although she did not know what her idol was going to do, Wu Pingting knew that it was going to be something important. She really wanted to find out what her idol planned on doing, so she immediately happily raised her hand and offered her assistance. Then, she turned around and went to get the laptop.

She soon returned with the laptop. Nuannuan installed projector software onto the laptop and projected an image on the study room wall, then retrieved something that resembled a remote control from her pocket.
