Chapter 2031: Released!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Nope. The president has already handed this matter over to Shi Maowen, and knowing his character, he will definitely do everything he can to provide everyone with an explanation as fast as possible. It’s likely that if we go to the administrative department now, Uncle Wu may already have been released.”

Elder Wu’s hands trembled in excitement.

“Then… Then let’s hurry up and pick up Jingzhong!”

“Okay!”

The Wu family members happily agreed. Along with receiving the good news that Sze Lingyun was most likely a granddaughter of the Wu family, they also learned today that Wu Jingzhong was going to be released from prison.

Wu Jingzhong stepped out of the administrative office. His heart held onto some mixed feelings as his eyes fixed on the bright sunset before him.

When the earthquake occurred and the road, which had not been open to traffic at the time, collapsed, Wu Jingzhong had been furious. He had immediately conferred with the contractors and eventually found out that it was due to the actions of some relatives of the Wu family. He knew then that he was going to suffer.

Sure enough, before he could even try to defend himself, the Ministry of Justice put him away.

Since then, he had been staying in the Ministry of Justice’s interrogation room next to the administrative department. In that windowless room, he could not even distinguish day from night. Four spotlights had remained fixed on him, blurring his vision—he could barely see the person in front of him clearly. He was not allowed to sleep, and he had not been given much food—he was only provided with milk to keep him alive. Throughout the interrogation, he never admitted guilt.

Finally, he was released. He asked for the time and learned that he had been locked up for a total of 56 hours.

In these 56 hours, he had not gotten even a minute’s sleep. Whenever his eyelids drooped and he was about to doze off, the guards would make a sudden loud noise to frighten him and wake him up.

He knew that many prisoners had given in because they could not stand this kind of ‘civilized’ interrogation. Eventually, they would confess their crimes.

However, Wu Jingzhong was innocent. He had no crime to confess to. Even when threatened with death, there was nothing for him to admit to.

If he ever admitted guilt, he would be marked as a criminal. Losing his official position would be a small matter compared to the severe implications that would have on the Wu family.

He had been an official for many years, and he had always been honest and upstanding. When he was released, his secretary was outside waiting for him. However, before his secretary had the time to help him catch up to speed, Wu Jingzhong was quickly swept up by a storm of department heads.

After seeing those videos, many of his supporters had gone stand in front of the main entrance of the Ministry of Justice in protest. They would only leave once Wu Jingzhong was released.

Seeing that their good governor had now been vindicated, everyone cheered and helped Wu Jingzhong out.

After being starved for 56 hours, Wu Jingzhong was quite exhausted, so he did not stop them.

Looking at the beautiful sunset and breathing in the fresh air, Wu Jingzhong let out a long sigh. He glanced at the heads of the various departments who had always followed his orders, and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

He had always believed that God was looking over him. Now, his beliefs were being proven.

When he was first taken in, he believed that he would soon be released. However, once he found out that even Xu Binren had been arrested, he figured that his chances of release had all but vanished.

If it was only Xu Binren who wanted to mess with him, the Wu family could have still handled it, However, ever since Lan Weisong was transferred from Emperor District a few years ago, he knew that one day, Lan Weisong would trample on him to get ahead. He just did not expect that day to come so early, so he had been caught off guard.

“Who rescued me?” Wu Jingzhong turned to look at Yin Li.
