“Then, I’ll bring this good news back. Mr. President, just wait for my good news. In three days at most, I’ll definitely give you a definite piece of good news.”
Even in his dreams, Wei Du often craved to obtain recognition from Camino. He happily stood up and shook hands with Shi Zhongcheng.
“Mr. Shi, I’ll leave this matter to you. If it really works out, I’ll give you another reward.”
Shi Zhongcheng’s eyes lit up. Just as he was about to thank him, a call suddenly came in.
“Apologies.”
He picked up the phone and exchanged a few words. After hanging up the phone, Shi Zhongcheng smiled. “There’s no need to thank me more. I just received a call from my family. There’s something I need your help with, Mr. President. It’s just a small favor.”
“Go ahead, speak.”
“I have a cousin named Shi Weide. He works as a raw stone supplier for Imperial Phoenix Group, but he has never met his boss. Unfortunately, he was on the same ship as his boss. Not only did he offend his boss, but he also tried to have his boss killed. In the end, your minister of Foreign Affairs, Dai Wei, gave the order to arrest him.
“This Shi Weide had previously committed a crime in our country and escaped to Naboo. His biological brother, Shi Weili, is the director of the Finance and Taxation Department of Camino. Even his brother doesn’t know what’s exactly happening, so we’ll have to trouble you, Mr. President.”
Wei Du had just found out that the chairman of Imperial Phoenix Group was Nangong Nuannuan.
The Nangong family and the Shi family had always had a grudge between them. Wei Du did not know if Shi Zhongcheng said this with the intention to use his hands to deal with Nangong Nuannuan, or he was truly unaware of this matter. No matter what, Wei Du had already weighed his options in his heart.
Wei Du smiled awkwardly and answered, “But Imperial Phoenix Group has always had a tough hand in handling things. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to get your relative released! I’m afraid this is a little difficult for me.”
“Mr. President, you’re just releasing a person from prosecution. If a mere enterprise dares to challenge you, you can simply...” Shi Zhongcheng made a gesture that meant ‘kill’.
“You want me to kill the chairman of Imperial Phoenix Group? If she dies, I’m afraid Imperial Phoenix Group will come looking for me for revenge...”
“Aren’t you fighting a war anyway? Even if she dies, you can still use Pang Long as a scapegoat, right? Why would anyone put the blame on you?”
“This...” Wei Du thought for a long time before he answered reluctantly, “Okay. I’ll try my best to solve this problem.”
“Alright, then I thank you, Mr. President.”
After sending Shi Zhongcheng away, Wei Du returned to the cabinet meeting room. Everyone in the meeting room was dead silent.
Military Advisor Hu Li and Cabinet Minister Dan De did not say anything. When they saw Wei Du enter, everyone looked at Wei Du in anticipation of his answer.
After Wei Du entered the room, he only said this—
“Kill Nangong Nuannuan and the others from Imperial Phoenix. It’s best to settle this matter within three days!”
“Yes, sir!”
Most of the people agreed with Wei Du’s method and agreed immediately. Only the military advisor, Hu Li, opposed this decision.
“Mr. President, you can’t do this! You’ll end up losing for sure! Just now, after you went out, I investigated Nangong Nuannuan. She was abducted at the age of three and returned home at the age of seventeen. She’s not even eighteen years old yet.?It hasn’t been three months since the Nangong family acknowledged her as their own.
“During the time she was abducted, she became the daughter of Luntan’s Duke Eton, became a member of the royal family of Luntan, established Tianheng Holdings, and even established the empire that we now know as Imperial Phoenix Group.. There must be a huge pit behind such a woman. Even if killing her is easy, have you thought about what will happen after you kill her?”
