Chapter 768: Chapter 578: Minister Wu, Have You Ever Dreamed of My Husband?

Su Xiaomeng put down the document in her hand, her slender fingers interlaced, and her black pearl-like eyes staring intently at Wu Rong,

"Nowadays, even dogs don’t talk about loyalty. Who would be loyal to someone else until death?"

Wu Rong listened to Xiao Meng’s words, sensing a deeper meaning, as if alluding to something...

"Minister Wu, don’t you think so?"

"Since you think neither dogs nor people have loyalty, why do you let unrelated people stay here?"

"Minister Wu, my time is really precious. Please speak quickly. If you’re really here just to have tea, then take your time and enjoy it. I won’t see you off."

Su Xiaomeng slightly raised her chin, her gaze on Wu Rong carrying a hint of contempt and assertiveness.

"I’m here to talk to you about your husband’s matter."

"Oh? Minister Wu, are you finally planning to release my husband and are willing to clear his name?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Su Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows, a calm smile on her face.

Wu Rong crossed his arms, folded his legs, and looked back at Su Xiaomeng, meeting her gaze,

"I want to know, if I never relent and let your husband remain under public doubt, what will you do? Continue to wait patiently? How long can you wait patiently?"

Su Xiaomeng burst into laughter upon hearing Wu Rong’s question.

Wu Rong shrugged,

"Is my question really that funny?"

"Minister Wu, no, aren’t you soon going to be transferred to a role at Central?"

"..."

Wu Rong’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"There’s no need for you to feel strange. It’s quite normal for me to know such confidential internal news, isn’t it? After all, my grandpa was a leader at a senior national level. Minister Wu, though young and promising,..."

Su Xiaomeng stood up and shook her head,

"Compared to my grandpa, you’re a hundred times less important than my grandpa."

"..."

Wu Rong’s face darkened.

"Once the transfer order from Central is issued, Minister Wu will finally stand out, but unfortunately, looking at your fate... alas, this step may be the last you can take."

"Why boast with words in front of me?"

Wu Rong frowned slightly, "I and your husband are like brothers, do you think I’m comfortable with holding back all this time, and the Public Security Bureau not releasing a statement?"

"..."

"I know Xiao Meng, you harbor significant hostility towards me, and you’re not happy about many things, but being in a position means dealing with matters. This case involves such a wide scope, and verifying injuries or sacrifices of officers requires extensive investigations."

"Shixiu once helped me; do I seek harm against him? I don’t even know why Shixiu injured me and fled at that time, nor am I clear if he’s in league with Shi Shengde."

"Su Xiaomeng, what if you were suddenly shot by your good friend? If—"

"Minister Wu, regarding this anti-drug case, you’re marked for distinguished service, but even with insider news pointing you to a transfer to Central, you’d better finish handling this entire case. Only if it’s handled well can your rank be elevated stably, right?"

Su Xiaomeng walked to the president’s desk, leaning against its edge with her arms on the desk, leisurely watching him,

"No way you leave unfinished business for the next in line to clean up, right? Oh yes, this next in line is my uncle. If he ends up handling the aftermath, it might leave you tainted."

"..."

Wu Rong straightened up, his gaze towards Su Xiaomeng involuntarily becoming serious.

Before he arrived, this woman had already figured out his situation thoroughly.

Even knowing everything, she’s still composed, playing the waiting game, just waiting for him to walk right into her...

"Minister Wu, you’re merciless, and I should be unjust. You keep claiming you and my husband are great brothers, good friends, and that my husband helped you. Yet, at critical moments, you refuse to say a word to vindicate my husband and even guide public opinion intentionally through the statement released by the Public Security Bureau."

"Isn’t this what paying kindness with animosity looks like?"

Wu Rong got up, adjusted his police uniform, took the hat from the table, facing Su Xiaomeng,

"Xiao Meng, I think you have a misunderstanding of me."

"Whether it’s a misunderstanding, Minister Wu has a clear conscience, doesn’t need me to say more, right?"

Su Xiaomeng looked coldly at Wu Rong.

"Anyone can say pretty words, if Minister Wu wants to hear them, I can say them beautifully for you as well. But isn’t it meaningless?"

"What I see is my husband dead, while Minister Wu climbs higher step by step. This result is quite chilling, isn’t it?"
