Chapter 2026 - A Fight Between Immortals

They had no choice but to go through the motions first and capture him while listening to the Shi family’s plan.

Lan Weisong felt like a rat crossing a busy street.

A moment ago, he had been talking to his subordinates at a meeting, telling them to be fair and honest and to not ruin their bright future for a little bit of profit.

He had just finished saying that when he was arrested.

He was probably going to be in the headline of all the newspapers tomorrow, was he not?

Shi Maowen angrily hung up the phone and dialed Nangong Nuannuan’s phone number. He stared at her number for a long time before he finally could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He called her.

At the moment, the Wu family was still in awe of Nangong Nuannuan’s coolness. When her phone rang, they saw from the projector that the caller was Shi Maowen. They could not help but feel anxious again.

They were afraid that the Shi family would choose to vent their frustrations on the Nangong family because of Nangong Nuannuan’s actions. That would result in a fight between immortals.

That was not something what they wanted to see.

However, when Nangong Nuannuan saw the caller ID, she pursed her lips with interest. She connected to video call and accepted the call.

“Officer Shi, you’re probably very busy right now, right? How are you free enough to give me a call?”

When Shi Maowen realized that he was on video call, he immediately put away the anger on his face and put on an emotionless and unreadable expression instead.

Nangong Nuannuan felt pleased at his expression. She liked the way that the Shi family hated her so much and wanted her dead, yet could not kill her.

“Miss Nangong, are you in Sea District now?” Shi Maowen asked.

“Yes, I’m traveling around Sea District right now. Is there a problem?”

“I was wondering what relationship the Wu family and Miss Nangong have…”

“We’re friends.” Nangong Nuannuan’s answer was very simple.

“Miss Nangong should know that Lan Weisong is a member of the Shi family, right?”

“I’m vaguely aware of that. He seems to be a relative of yours?”

“Lan Weisong is my cousin’s brother-in-law.”

“Oh, that’s a pretty close relative, then. But compared to the five people from before, that relationship is still a little distant.” Officer Shi did not pity those five people at all. Lan Weisong was courting death, so there was even less of a blood connection now.

Not only was Shi Maowen angry at those words, but even the Wu family members were left speechless. They could tell that not only had this young lady messed with Lan Weisong but other members of the Shi family not too long ago too. The Shi family had lost five people a while ago, and the case was still fresh. Was this girl actually the one responsible?

Elder Wu looked at Nangong Nuannuan with a deeper gaze than usual.

Back at that Jiang District auction, when he was faced with some trouble, Nangong Nuannuan had been able to escape from the explosion with him and his family. He had been certain that this young lady was no ordinary person, and now, his instincts were confirmed.

Nangong Nuannuan was not afraid of a fight between the Shi family and the Nangong family because she was completely confident that the Shi family would never initiate such a fight with the Nangong family.

Shi Maowen was angered nearly to death by Nangong Nuannuan’s words. He stared at her calm face for a long time and finally could not hold back the anger in his heart any longer. He said, “I’m afraid that Miss Nangong has had a misunderstanding about my Shi family.”

Nangong Nuannuan smiled. “Oh? And what misunderstanding do you think I have about your Shi family, Officer Shi?”
