My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

Nangong Nuannuan nodded. "Yes, you're right. If we're only talking about financial strength, the Wu family is on par with the four great families of Emperor District. And putting everything else aside, every inch of land is extremely expensive in Sea District, roughly over 9,000 yuan per square foot. It's amazing that they can afford a residence spanning an area of over 100,000 square feet. Given the large size of the residence, I'm curious... What led Captain Zhou directly to this room and this hidden compartment under the bookcase? Could it be that Captain Zhou has X-ray vision?"

Zhou Wei was shocked. He was about to explain himself when Nangong Nuannuan continued speaking. "This hidden compartment is less than 12 inches long and 8 inches wide. It's not even waterproof. It's basically just a small hole in the floor of this room. How did Captain Zhou find it? You already know that these buildings alone take up 100,000 square feet. And there's also the large lawn and manmade lake outside the Wu family's main house. If the Wu family really wanted a secret compartment, they could easily make a hundred of them and make them all impossible to find. I'm very curious... Captain Zhou didn't even manage to find the Wu family's basement, so how did he manage to find this secret compartment? Has Captain Zhou come to the Wu family residence before?"

Nangong Nuannuan's question was directed at Zhou Wei, but it caught the attention of the Wu family as well.

The Wu family were all shrewd people. That was why they had been able to maintain their ancestors' work and grow their family's blessings in this generation, becoming the number one aristocratic family in Sea District.

Nangong Nuannuan's words just now had clearly been her way of telling them that Zhou Wei had come to investigate their residence specifically for this hidden compartment from the very beginning.

There was a rat in the Wu family who had placed this so-called evidence in this secret compartment long ago. They had just been waiting for Zhou Wei to lead the police department to find the evidence in the presence of the Wu family and use this evidence to destroy Wu Jingzhong.

Although they did not know why this evidence suddenly disappeared, the Wu family members were certain that there was something undoubtedly odd about Zhou Wei's actions.

Moreover, Zhou Wei definitely sided with the Wu family's rival.

If they managed to entrap Zhou Wei, they would be able to learn the identity of the person who wanted to harm their boss.

With this thought in mind, the Wu family immediately blocked the door.

Thus far, the room had been filled with harmless people. However, in the next moment, dozens of international-level bodyguards completely surrounded the Wu family and the police who came to search the residence, specifically in the room that Zhou Wei was in.

When he saw a few bodyguards in black suits suddenly enter the room and noticed that they had to be martial artists. Zhou Wei's expression immediately darkened.

"Elder Wu, I was just ordered to search the house. I showed you the search warrant. We're doing things according to the law. You know you're going way too far, right?"

"Elder Wu isn't going too far. You are." Nangong Nuannuan, who had remained neutral this whole time, now sided with the Wu family.

Wu Pingting was her friend. If Wu Jingzhong had really broken the law and committed such a heinous crime, she would not interfere much in these matters—even if she continued to acknowledge Wu Pingting as a friend. After all, she had already cleared her name and returned to Camino.

However, judging from Zhou Wei's behavior and Wu Jingzhong's condition, a governor who received a bonus of more than twelve billion a year was already very wealthy. Since he did not have a wife or children, there was really no motive for greed at all.
