My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots Chapter 1970: I Am Not Stupid Enough

Chapter 1970: I Am Not Stupid Enough
“But my uncle has already been arrested. The Wu family has no one high up to help, and only a few families on their side who can’t even say much. On the other hand, the Xu family still has Deputy Governor Xu in charge. They said that they would try their best to arrest the suspects, but we can’t affect the Xu family’s normal life over this. They reported the case yesterday but haven’t been able to arrest anyone until today. If we want them to catch her, we’ll probably have to wait until my uncle is released and returned to his post without a criminal record.”
Elder Wu said, “Since we’ve locked on Xu Yunyun, she won’t be able to escape. The most important thing now is clearing your uncle’s name.”
“Okay.”
Wu Zongxu was sent back to the detention center.
Due to his special status, even at the detention center, he would get to be locked in a room alone. This was much better than the conditions he had experienced at the police station.
Not long after he entered the detention center, a prison guard entered the room.
“Second Young Master Wu, I was sent by Secretary Xu. I heard that the Wu family came to look for you today. Did you tell them anything?”
Wu Zongxu leaned against the wall leisurely. Instead of answering, he asked, “When do you plan to get me out?”
The prison guard smiled slightly. “Don’t worry. After we make sure that you didn’t say anything you shouldn’t have, we’ll definitely plan an escape route for you.”
The corners of Wu Zongxu’s lips curled up in satisfaction. “I didn’t say anything. Nothing at all. After all, Governor Xu’s people are backing me up. I’ll be relying on him in the future, so I’m not stupid enough to say anything bad about him to the Wu family.”
He was echoing the news from Wangcheng area.
...
The news said that Wu family was angry. After staying for a long time, they had left in anger. It was said that they had not been able to get any useful information from Wu Zongxu. Even though the Wu family suspected Wu Zongxu because of the secret compartment, they did not have any evidence against him.
“Do you know why the Wu family came to you today?”
Mockery crossed Wu Zongxu’s eyes. “Because they suspect that I betrayed my father, but I didn’t admit it, so they couldn’t do anything to me. Have the criminal police found the thing yet?”
“What? You don’t know?”
Xu Zongxu frowned and asked, “What happened?”
“The police didn’t find the contract where you said it would be. Did you put the contract somewhere else? Or... did the Wu family bust you?”
“What?” Wu Zongxu was shocked. “That’s impossible! I’m very sure no one knows about it. If the Wu family knew, Wu Jingzhong wouldn’t have been framed, and you guys wouldn’t have been able to get Wu Jingzhong.”
Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, the prison guard rolled his eyes and said, “Alright, got it. I’ll report this to the higher-ups. But don’t worry. As long as the Wu family doesn’t have that contract, everything will be fine. You’ve done something big. The higher-ups will definitely treat you well. I’ll let you stay here for a few days. They’ll definitely let you out soon.”
Wu Zongxu nodded.
Just as the guard was about to leave, a delivery man arrived.
The guard took the luxurious set meal with three types of meat, one mound of vegetables, and one bowl of soup from the plate and placed it on the table.
“I heard that you didn’t eat much at the police station yesterday, so I specially asked the kitchen to make this for you. This is the best you can get in a detention center, so just bear with it for now.”
“I will. Thank you.” Wu Zongxu walked up to the table happily and sat down. He picked up a large piece of meat with his chopsticks and placed it in the rice bowl.
