After all, Wu Jingzhong and Xu Binren had been arrested. He was the only one in charge of the city now.
Seeing the unfamiliar number, Lan Weisong did not pick up. He declined the call and added the number to his blacklist.
Who could have guessed that a second later, his phone would ring again?
Lan Weisong thought his eyes were mistaken. The number calling him was the same as the one he just blacklisted. He looked at the number carefully before blacklisting it again.
Who could have guessed that another second later, his phone would ring once again?
Lan Weisong frowned as he looked at the incoming call. This phone number looked the same as the previous two. This time, he let the call ring through as he opened his blacklist to have a look at it. He was still in his meeting.
He realized upon checking his logs that the last three calls had indeed been from the same number. He had a few random numbers blocked below it. Frowning, he picked up the phone and asked unhappily, “Who is it?”
At the other end of the line, the Wu family’s eyes were wide open. As Lan Weisong picked up his Bluetooth earpiece, a very clear video suddenly appeared from the projector. It was obvious that Lan Weisong was in a meeting.
“It’s me, Nangong Nuannuan.” Nuannuan got straight to the point.
Lan Weisong was stunned for a moment before a displeased expression instantly took over his face. He smiled and said, “So it’s you, Miss Nangong. May I know what business you’re calling about?”
As he spoke, he stood up and gestured for his meeting partners to step aside. He then walked out to take the call.
Nangong Nuannuan and the members of the Wu family had seen the shocked and adoring gazes of the participants when Lan Weisong said, ‘Miss Nangong’.
After all, there was only one person in Camino called that, and she was the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, the brilliant young Nangong Nuannuan.
Everyone thought it was odd that Miss Nangong was calling Lan Weisong, as he was a member of the Shi family.
Nangong Nuannuan, “…”
Was this call actually shining a good light on Lan Weisong?
Nangong Nuannuan was very unhappy at this thought. Her tone dropped as she got straight to the point and asked, “Governor Lan, I told you yesterday that I would only stay in Sea District for three days. Yesterday was my second day. I hope Governor Lan can release Governor Wu today. How is his matter coming along?”
Lan Weisong frowned. He had not been expecting Nangong Nuannuan to still remember that.
The governor and deputy governor had been taken away by the Ministry of Justice, and he had made a great contribution to the Shi family. How could he return the position that was just within his grasp to that Wu Jingzhong?
Therefore, even though he was facing someone that the Shi family had repeatedly warned him not to offend, Lan Weisong made the bold decision to take this matter into his own hands.
“Miss Nangong, our country is a country with three independent powers, just like Sab. Even the executive hall cannot interfere with the Ministry of Justice’s affairs. Even though they’re established within the administrative office of Sea District, the Ministry of Justice won’t listen to me! You’re asking me to get the Ministry of Justice to release this person? Isn’t that the same as asking me to interfere with justice?”
“So, in other words, Governor Lan has turned a deaf ear to my words?” Nangong Nuannuan asked bluntly.
Lan Weisong disliked Nangong Nuannuan’s tone very much. Her tone made it sound like she was his immediate superior.
“Miss Nangong, even though you’re the eldest daughter of the Nangong family and have a distinguished status, you don’t have the right to interfere in the matters of the executive hall’s affairs, do you? No matter what, Wu Jingzhong did subcontract that four-mile road to the Wu Family.”
