Chapter 2191: Not the One to Lose
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“If I remember correctly, the Fifth Division is responsible for G District. Sea District is in the south, which doesn’t seem to be under your jurisdiction.”
Guo Langming, “… !!!”
Staring blankly at Li Heyi, who had slowly walked toward him and stopped on the second last step of the staircase, standing up for Wu Jingzhong, Guo Langming was pissed off.
Could someone tell him why the 12th Officer flew from Emperor District to Sea District to attend the Wu family’s banquet this weekend?
Li Heyi was the top candidate for the next presidential election!
Facing the future president or vice president, Guo Langming’s eyes widened and his mouth opened and closed, but no words came out. He wanted to explain, but he could not find any words.
After all, even though he was the director of the Fifth Division, they could not really control Sea District.
Originally, Guo Langming strolled into the Wu family’s banquet in a very arrogant manner, attempting to capture all the members of the Wu family and disrupt the banquet. Seeing this, the guests did not know how to react. They could not leave yet they did not dare to watch.
However, seeing how powerful Governor Wu was and how Guo Langming was at a loss for words, everyone grew very curious about the Officer Li that Guo Langming mentioned.
Someone could not help but ask, “Who is that Officer Li? He seems very powerful. I feel like he’s even more powerful than Governor Wu.”
“I don’t know! If the person in charge of the Fifth Department calls him Officer Li, maybe he’s someone from the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice.”
“If he’s someone from high up, it would be a slap in the face! He came in so aggressively to try to capture the Wu family, but Fifth Department isn’t allowed to do that in Sea District. What a fail!”
“Don’t you think this Officer Li looks very familiar?”
“He does! I don’t know where I’ve seen him before.”
“I’ve seen him on TV.” Finally, someone remembered and said, “Officer Li is Li Heyi, the 12th Officer of the executive hall. Doesn’t he often appear on TV? The president loves bringing him along for inspections.”
This person’s words silenced all the guests. None of them dared to say anything more.
Everyone had a new judgment of the Wu family now.
They were not just the most wealthy family in Sea District. They were working toward becoming the most wealthy family in Emperor District!
Originally, the Wu family only had power because Wu Jingzhong was the governor of Sea District. Now, they had the protection of the 12th Officer.
In addition to that, the 12th Officer was related to the Xiao family through marriage. Since the Wu family was related to him, the Wu family and the Xiao family must have a good relationship too.
Everyone felt like they had come to the right place today. Even though the Wu family had offended the Shi family, they were related to the Xiao family. Moreover, the 12th Officer was ranked higher and had a better reputation than the 13th Officer.
The guests thought that as long as they could establish a good relationship with the Wu family, their family’s power would definitely rise.
The guests’ eyes sparkled as they watched Guo Langming lose his composure. They were not anxious at all.
The Wu family was even less anxious.
Today, not only did the Wu family have Li Heyi supporting them, but they also had Chi Yang, who was even more powerful than Li Heyi. Even without them, Wu Jingzhong was not someone to be trifled with. Without sufficient evidence, how could he be so foolish as to allow himself to be captured? If his hand was forced, he would definitely not be the one getting hurt in this fight.
