My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

Chapter 2010: What Would They Do if Forced Into a Corner?

Nangong Nuannuan could not reveal that the Shi family feared her, not her family. However, to put the Wu family at ease, Nangong Nuannuan did her best to show off her formidable background. She let the Wu family know that she was not only backed by the Nangong family but the Chi family too. Thus, if the Shi family dared to do anything, the Chi family would certainly lend a hand in ensuring they did not get away with it.

Wu Jingcheng kept quiet, but Old Wu was still worried.

“Lieutenant General Chi, I know that most of the promising officers at the military base are from the Eagle Special Forces, which is your grandfather and father’s brainchild. However, the country’s law is also clear on the fact that soldiers are not allowed to interfere with any of the executive hall’s decisions. These laws are also in place to prevent military officers from becoming president and ruling the country. Even though you and your grandfather do have a lot of power and are well known, going after the Shi family would undoubtedly result in making a few enemies for you and you being criticized. Lieutenant General Chi, Nuannuan, my second daughter-in-law has already gone to the executive hall to look for the 12th official. I believe he will definitely help us. When he arrives with the people from the Ministry of Justice, we will hand over the video we have to them. This way, we can save Jingzhong without disrupting the current harmony between the Nangong family and the Shi family.”

Nangong Nuannuan asked, “We’ll have to wait a few more days for the people from the administrative office and the Ministry of Justice to come over, right? Aren’t you afraid that Lan Weisong will find the time to kill Uncle Wu before then, once he hears of this?”

Old Wu and the other members of the Wu family instantly turned pale.

“No… He wouldn’t, right? Jingzhong is the governor of Sea District, after all. What right does he have to harm Jingzhong? And Jingzhong was taken away by the people from the Ministry of Justice.”

“The Shi family is ranked second among the four big families partly because they have had their sights set on politics all these years. They have a huge advantage here, since they have many people in the administrative office, executive hall, and Ministry of Justice. This is a network that they’ve been building since Shi Gen’s generation. Shi Maowen is the 13th officer. He and the 12th, Li Heyi, are fierce competitors, and the Wu family plans to the 13th official’s competitor to protect Uncle Wu? Even if the Shi family wants to stay out of this, they will probably feel obliged to step in. After all, once the 12th official is instructed to protect Uncle Wu, he will instantly be considered to be on Uncle Wu and the Wu family’s side. Considering the Wu family’s poor record of repaying kindness, is it possible that the Wu family and Uncle Wu won’t help the 12th official if he encounters difficulties? What do you think he would do then? Old Wu, what do you suppose the Shi family will do to Uncle Wu if they feel like they’re being forced into a corner?”

As soon as Nangong Nuannuan finished speaking, Elder Wu turned around and said to Wu Jingcheng, “Quick, give Tang Ya a call. Tell her not to let the 12th official contact the people from the Ministry of Justice.”

“Okay.”

Wu Jingcheng was very obedient. He immediately gave his wife a call and explained the situation.

It was not until this matter settled down that Old Wu asked Nuannuan again, “Nuannuan, regarding this…”

“Just do as I say. Don’t worry, Old Wu. I’m very confident that the Shi family won’t have the courage to try to come after me.”

Unfortunately, after Shi Yalin’s protests, the Shi family had completely hidden themselves away—making it impossible for Nuannuan to find a way to go after them first.

......

Therefore, she really hoped that they would come out of hiding to confront her directly. They wanted to fight back, did they not?
