Chapter 1944: How Should I Address You?
Although they did not yet know how she would help them resolve this matter, Nangong Nuannuan’s status was nothing to sneeze at. Furthermore, she had Chi Yang backing her up.
Previously, the Wu family had avoided asking Chi Yang and Nangong Nuannuan for help with Wu Jingzhong’s accident because Elder Wu figured he knew how Marshal Chi Yang and General Nangong would react. If he opened his mouth, the Wu family would not only have to cut ties with Nangong Nuannuan, but so would their granddaughter, Wu Pingting, who would probably never be able to see Nuannuan in the hospital without cringing again.
Therefore, Elder Wu never planned to discuss things with Nangong Nuannuan even if the entire Wu family fell into desperation.
However, Nangong Nuannuan had nominated herself as their savior now. That was different.
Nangong Nuannuan’s fingers flew across the laptop keyboard, and soon, a few people from the video were being projected on the wall. When Elder Wu recognized the leading person, his eyes narrowed.
Their rivals did not realize that Nangong Nuannuan had already made face-to-face real-time contact with their leader. The man angrily slammed the table with his fist and cursed at the video. “Idiot!”
Nangong Nuannuan asked amusedly, “Sir, what do you think? You too think that Zhou Wei is very stupid, right? He was merely putting on a show to hide his own agenda. But he was only carrying out the task that you a.s.signed him to do. He didn’t know how to put on a good show. It’s like he didn’t even bother trying to make it look believable. He just went straight into the right room and found what he needed to find. I can understand the anger you might be feeling now. All this proves that sometimes, it’s not the G.o.d-like enemy one should fear, but the dumb sidekick. You’re right to be angry.”
Since they were watching the situation unfold via video feed, they knew exactly what the people in the room were doing. Then, the angle of the projection suddenly changed. It now showed the man standing opposite Nangong Nuannuan and her group. Both of them were facing each other. At first, he did not react. He was trying to grasp the fact that he had actually been watched.
It was not until Nangong Nuannuan shot him a faint smile and said that line about enemies and sidekicks that he reacted. Nangong Nuannuan had actually seen through him?
At this moment, the man that stood opposite her in the projected video still had not reacted. He looked all around him, then at the secretary standing beside him. He shot him a gaze that indicated that he did not understand what was happening. Was Nangong Nuannuan talking to him?
The secretary’s face was also pale from fright. He looked back at the man with a surprised and innocent gaze. It was obvious that the secretary also did not know what was going on.
Nangong Nuannuan’s intimidating voice rang out again.
“Hey, stop looking around. I’m talking to you!”
The man’s eyes suddenly widened. His heart, which was already trembling with fear, dropped to his stomach. It felt like it had shattered into a million pieces. It was a very depressing feeling.
The man subconsciously started to reach out to turn the video off, but Nangong Nuannuan casually interrupted him and said, “If you turn it off, I’ll just use this remote control to turn it back on!”
He was speechless.
He looked at Nangong Nuannuan in disbelief. This woman... Was she a demon?
He could not turn off the video that showed him being caught red-handed. The man’s expression was sour, while Nangong Nuannuan maintained her curious expression as she looked at him.
“Sir, how should I address you?”
The man stared at the video, trying to think of something to say to get himself out of the mess that he was in. However, it seemed like no matter what he said, the cunning Nangong Nuannuan would not believe him.
