My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots - Chapter 2078

“The Shi family hurt him, so I should be the one sending him favors. Why did he specially bring me fruits?”

“Our governor said that you were going to treat him to dinner tonight, and he felt bad, so he brought you a fruit plate.”

Shi Maowen, “…”

Had Wu Jingzhong seen through his offer of a meal?

They had a fraught past. Even if they used to be friends, it would be difficult for them to be civil now.

Even though Wu Jingzhong had agreed to have dinner with him tonight, he had made it clear through his actions that he was not willing to make amends with the Shi family.

Shi Maowen’s eyes were filled with annoyance, but he said with a smile on his face, “Okay, okay, okay. Thank you, thank you! Tell Governor Wu that I’ve received his lovely gift. Oh, right. I’ll have to trouble you to inform Governor Wu of something else. I still have to follow up on the trial here, so I might not be free for dinner tonight like I originally promised. I’ll ask him out another day.”

“Oh, okay. I’ll pass your message to the governor when I get back.”

After the secretary left, he immediately relayed Shi Maowen’s words to Wu Jingzhong. The secretary wanted to ask whether this meant that a huge war was coming, but he could not bring himself to.

If he was thinking about it, the governor had definitely already thought of it and made several plans A, B, and C.

The governor knew his limits. Since he was doing this so ruthlessly, he probably had a plan in mind.

When Wu Jingzhong returned to the administrative department, the first thing he did was to confirm the lieutenant governor’s name list before Shi Maowen came looking for him. Then, it came time to deal with the matter of Wu Pingting.

Wu Pingting had been raped according to orders from the Xu family. After he was taken away for investigation, the police in the Eastern Area saw that the Wu family was no longer in power, so in order to not offend the Wu family, they actually covered up this matter.

Now that Xu Binren had been arrested and he was released, Wu Jingzhong called the police chief of Dongcheng District.

The police chief, Wu Yi, had been in a terrible mood since last night.

Lan Weisong was doomed. Whether it was the Wu family or the Xu family opposing him, once this matter was confirmed, there was no chance for them to turn the tables for him. When Wu Jingzhong was under arrest and Xu Binren was walking free, the Wu family had asked him to arrest him, but he had not done so.

Moreover, Xu Yunyun had just left at that time. If he chased her with his car, he would have been able to catch her. However, he had not chased her.

Yesterday, when Wu Jingzhong was released, the police chief was scared out of his wits. He immediately asked his subordinates to investigate Xu Yunyun’s situation. He was troubled to learn that Xu Yunyun had already fled toLuntan.

He was scared to death and did not know what to do. Suddenly, Wu Jingzhong called.

He was calling from his office phone. The governor’s phone number was in his internal phone book, so that was how he knew. Even though Wu Yi had never had the courage to call this number, he knew it by heart.

Wu Yi felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. When he picked up the phone, he yelled at the air with a sense of righteousness, “No matter what, we must find Xu Yunyun! No matter what!!!”

After he finished shouting, he said, “Hello?” and asked, “Who is it?”

…Wu Jingzhong had thought these people could not sink any lower.
