“Huh???” Sze Lingyun looked at Nangong Nuannuan in astonishment and surprise.
“R-really?”
She already thought that the Wu family was amazing. Then there were the four top families of Emperor District.
She did not expect Nangong Nuannuan to not only be part of the highest ranking top-class wealthy families but also the princess of the Luntan royal family. Her status was simply extraordinary.
“Nuannuan, in that case, do you still want to accompany me to Luntan to arrest them?” Wu Pingting smiled at Nangong Nuannuan with a rather obsequious expression. The anticipation in her eyes was obvious.
Nangong Nuannuan could not help but smile.
Some people were annoying when they asked for help. It was clear that they wanted to take advantage of people. However, Wu Pingting asked with sincerity.
“Of course. If I didn’t, how could you extradite Xu Yunyun?”
“Yes! Yes! Of course! I need my Nuannuan to help me out! As long as you’re by my side, everything will work out! Nuannuan, not only are you my idol, but you’re also the most perfect goddess in the world!”
“You suck-up!”
Nangong Nuannuan could not help but poke Wu Pingting’s head. However, Wu Pingting still behaved like a teacher’s pet. “I didn’t know I could be a suck-up. I thought I’d never be one, but being able to be your flatterer is my honor! Other people may want to be able to do what I do, but they can’t! They can only envy me! Right?”
Nangong Nuannuan was speechless.
“I want to go to Luntan too!” Sze Lingyun said meekly.
She had never been abroad nor had she ever dreamed of it. Not that would she be of much help there—in fact, she might even be a hindrance—but thinking about how Xu Yunyun had hurt Wu Pingting and all the horrific things that had happened, she wanted to accompany Wu Pingting to seek justice.
“Nuannuan, can my sister come with us?”
Nangong Nuannuan was very confused as to why Wu Pingting would ask such a question. She replied, “Of course! This is something that the three of us have talked about together. Of course we’ll all go together!”
“That’s great! When are we leaving? I’ll go see my father and ask for dozens of bodyguards. Let’s see who has more people!”
Nangong Nuannuan could not help but poke Wu Pingting’s head again.
“You’re visiting my territory. Why would you need to bring people? I’m a member of the royal family, after all. How incompetent do you think the Luntan royal family is?”
“Oh, I’m so sorry! Let’s go eat something delicious. Today, we’ll let my Big Sis take us around Sea District to eat all the snacks we can. We’ll leave tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
In the administrative department, after Shi Maowen announced in front of everyone that Wu Jingzhong was innocent, Wu Jingzhong threw himself into his work. Shi Maowen was personally in charge of the cases of Lan Weisong and Xu Binren.
The administrative department had suddenly lost two governors, heightening the pressure on Wu Jingzhong. To find some successors, he had to promote two staff members of the administrative department to become deputy governors.
Wu Jingzhong had always wanted to promote Yin Li. Initially, with Yin Li’s background and qualifications, his chances of rising through the ranks were very slim. However, there were now two vacant positions.
There were eight deputy governors. Now that two were gone, many more people had a good shot at the positions.
