Lan Weisong would do anything to clear his name and avoid having the vicious Nangong Nuannuan go against the Shi family. He immediately nodded and said righteously, “Of course. There’s definitely something off with Zhou Wei, and it’s obvious that he’s trying to frame Wu Jingzhong. Don’t worry, Miss Nangong. I’ll be sending this video to the executive hall. I’m sure they can give Governor Wu a good explanation.”

Nangong Nuannuan nodded. “Sure. I was only planning to stay in Sea District for three days. Today is already my second day.”

Lan Weisong was startled. He immediately responded, “Don’t worry, Miss Nangong. Since I’ve been a bystander to these events from the very beginning, I should take over this matter of helping Governor Wu. Actually, Governor Wu’s matter is not a big deal. With this video as evidence, it’ll definitely be easy to clear his family’s name. But there’s a lot of bureacracy surrounding the arrest or release of somebody. As for how long it might take…”

The Shi family did not want him in the governor’s seat. Of course, if he could get the position, the Shi family would definitely be very happy to see him succeed. However, if he could not do that, and especially if he had a conflict with Nangong Nuannuan, the Shi family would not help him.

He could not understand why the Shi family tolerated so much from this little girl. However, as a core member of the Shi family, he was very aware of the Shi family’s fear of Nangong Nuannuan. He knew that if he ever provoked her, he would certainly be disowned. Furthermore, he knew about Nangong Nuannuan’s impressive background—she was strongly backed by the powerful Nangong and Chi families. However, seeing this open position for governor right in front of him, he had to try his best to fight for what he wanted.

He thought about how Nangong Nuannuan was going to leave soon. If he swept this matter under the rug after she left, Nangong Nuannuan would not be able to interfere with the administrative court’s decisions.

However, there was one problem.

“But I’m only staying in Sea District for three days. Today is already my second day.” Nangong Nuannuan repeated forcefully. She wanted to make sure that this was clear.

Elder Wu’s heart tightened as he listened to her. He was afraid that Nangong Nuannuan would get the Nangong family blacklisted. He wanted to help her out, but he did not know how to go about it.

She had to be aware of the repercussions. She definitely had a reason for doing this, right?

Elder Wu glanced at Chi Yang and saw him standing at the side calmly, expressionless. It was obvious that this young general was extremely protective of Nuannuan. He would allow his fiance to cause trouble without intervening.

Since Chi Yang was behaving this way, Elder Wu also did not want to get involved and make things worse. He just wanted his eldest son to be released!

Nangong Nuannuan’s words left Lan Weisong speechless. What should he say to this woman who seemed to disregard all standard rules and procedures?

Lan Weisong said hesitantly, “Miss Nangong, I promised that I would testify for Governor Wu, and I guarantee that he will be released. However, the executive hall must follow standard procedure. They can’t just release the video without going through the necessary process. Once I hand in this video, the Ministry of Justice will judge the video and retry the case. This’ll all take at least half a month. I can’t overstep my boundaries by asking the Ministry of Justice to prematurely release the suspect, can I? Don’t worry, okay? I’ll do my best!”
