Chapter 842 The Temptation of a Hundred Billion Investment
"Provincial Governor!"
The two greeted Wang Zhonghua in unison.
"En!" Wang Zhonghua nodded expressionlessly.
"Provincial Governor Wang, what brings you here? What a coincidence!"
Seeing Wang Zhonghua's displeased expression, Su Boqi's demeanor also stiffened.
"It is indeed a coincidence!"
Wang Zhonghua forced a smile, his presence commanding. He glanced at the surrounding situation: "What is going on here?"
As Wei Changgeng was about to explain the situation, Su Boqi, shamelessly, preempted him:
"Provincial Governor Wang, I received a report about a case involving criminal activity by a martial artist, so I brought my men over. I didn't expect Mr. Wei to also bring his men and try to snatch the person from us. I suspect he is colluding with certain individuals to pervert justice. I implore Provincial Governor Wang to discern the truth!"
Wei Changgeng was taken aback. This fellow was truly shameless!
Wang Zhonghua looked at Wei Changgeng: "Is that how it happened?"
Wei Changgeng stated truthfully, "Provincial Governor Wang, the facts are the complete opposite of what Su Boqi claims. Li Tianxing committed heinous crimes, but Su Boqi is related to Su Ning and thus wishes to pervert justice, intending to help Li Tianxing escape punishment."
"Is this true?"
Wang Zhonghua turned his head to look at Su Boqi.
"Absolutely not!"
Su Boqi immediately shook his head, speaking with absolute certainty and not daring to hesitate.
"Is that so?"
"Yes..."
Su Boqi's initial response was somewhat hesitant, but he quickly firmed his resolve: "No!"
"That's good then!"
Su Boqi eagerly tried to gain favor, looking at Wang Zhonghua sheepishly: "Then, regarding this matter, how about letting our Martial Alliance Special Office handle it?"
"That won't do!"
Wei Changgeng became anxious, genuinely worried that Wang Zhonghua might be deceived.
"Mr. Wei, are you going to make decisions for the Provincial Governor?"
Su Boqi sneered.
Wei Changgeng's face turned pale, then flushed.
"What you're saying makes some sense!" Wang Zhonghua nodded slowly.
Su Boqi smirked triumphantly, casting a challenging glance at Wei Changgeng.
Hahaha, Provincial Governor Wang trusts me over you!
"Provincial Governor Wang, you decide. We will all listen to you!"
However—
Under Su Boqi's expectant gaze, Wang Zhonghua shook his head: "I think it's best to hand it over to Mr. Wei."
"What?"
Su Boqi's jaw dropped.
Didn't you say you trusted me?
Wei Changgeng was overjoyed: "Provincial Governor Wang, you are brilliant!"
He had never expected the Provincial Governor to do something like this.
"Su Boqi, hand the person over to Mr. Wei!"
Wang Zhonghua looked at Su Boqi and said coldly.
"But..."
"There are no 'buts'."
Wang Zhonghua directly interrupted Su Boqi.
Su Ning, standing nearby, couldn't help but be surprised. Why was Wang Zhonghua so biased towards Wei Changgeng?
What was going on?
Not to mention Su Ning's mind brimming with questions, even Wei Changgeng was filled with them!
"Provincial Governor Wang, don't be so quick to decide!" Su Ning narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
"Young Master Su Ning?"
"I am preparing to make a large-scale investment in Jiangnan Province, estimated to reach a hundred billion!"
"Is that so? That's truly excellent! If Young Master Su Ning is willing to invest in Jiangnan Province, our Jiangnan Province is willing to provide a platform for Young Master Su Ning!"
Provincial Governor Wang's eyes lit up.
Although Jiangnan Province was beautiful and resource-rich, many people were unwilling to invest there, causing the living standards of the people of Jiangnan Province to be lower than in neighboring provinces. If Su Ning could bring a hundred billion in investment, it would be a great boon for the people of Jiangnan Province!
Seeing that the Provincial Governor was tempted, Su Ning smiled and said, "Investment is negotiable. As long as Provincial Governor Wang is willing to hand over Li Tianxing to the Martial Alliance for processing, I am willing to increase investment in Jiangnan Province, absolutely ensuring that Provincial Governor Wang has a satisfactory year-end report. If it is handed over to the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, it is hard to say..."
Wang Zhonghua was startled. It was clear that Su Ning's words carried a threat, and he couldn't help but frown.
He glanced at Li Tianxing. It seemed that the massacre case of the Yang family in the provincial capital that Chen Xuan had told him about was likely related to the Li family. Su Ning's words undoubtedly amounted to a guilty conscience.
"Provincial Governor Wang, please consider it carefully..."
Wang Zhonghua was full of confidence. After all, an investment of over a hundred billion, regardless of which province, would not be easily refused by any Provincial Governor, as it concerned their achievements.
However—
The result was unexpected!
Wang Zhonghua decisively said, "No need, Young Master Su Ning. If you are willing to invest in our Jiangnan Province, I welcome it with open arms. However, the people of our Jiangnan Province do not wish for their income to be stained with blood."
Su Ning was stunned, never expecting Wang Zhonghua to refuse so decisively.
That was a hundred billion investment!
Let alone Su Ning, even Chen Xuan was greatly surprised. He knew how tempting a hundred billion investment would be to Wang Zhonghua. It seemed Wang Zhonghua was a decent person worth befriending!
"Provincial Governor Wang, would you like to reconsider?"
"No need!"
Wang Zhonghua's expression was impassive, clearly unwilling to continue the discussion with Su Ning. This infuriated Su Ning.
Su Ning did not expect to suffer such a major setback upon arriving at the provincial capital. His trusted subordinate was crippled, which was equivalent to crippling one of his arms!
He was not reconciled!
Deeply unreconciled!
"Mr. Wei, take him away. Remember to be factual and handle it according to the rules!" Wang Zhonghua looked at Wei Changgeng.
"Provincial Governor Wang, please rest assured."
Wei Changgeng nodded slightly and immediately gave orders for Li Tianxing to be taken away.
This time, Su Boqi dared not utter a single word.
A Provincial Governor was equivalent to a feudal lord. Such a rank held considerable weight even in the capital. How could he dare to speak?
"Mr. Chen, how have you been!"
After dealing with official matters, Wang Zhonghua turned to Chen Xuan.
"I'm well."
Chen Xuan smiled and exchanged pleasantries.
Seeing Chen Xuan conversing cheerfully with Wang Zhonghua, treating him as an equal, Wei Changgeng was greatly astonished.
This son-in-law of the Su family was truly remarkable. In such a short time in the provincial capital, he not only brought down the four great families but also had a good relationship with Wang Zhonghua!
Not just him, but everyone else was also greatly surprised.
Suddenly, Su Ning strode over, looking at Chen Xuan and Wang Zhonghua: "Good! I knew why the Provincial Governor was so biased. It turns out he has a connection with the Su family of the provincial capital!"
Wang Zhonghua's expression darkened: "Young Master Su Ning, you can eat anything, but you cannot say anything carelessly. I am not biased. It is a fact that Li Tianxing's hands are stained with blood! Are you trying to slander me?"
"Well said, 'not biased'. I'll remember that!"
Su Ning naturally could not argue with Wang Zhonghua, a powerful figure like a provincial governor. Angrily stamping his foot, he waved and prepared to leave. Midway, he stopped beside Chen Xuan: "Kid, you wait for me. Your Su family, you all wait for me! I will get this back!"
Wang Zhonghua sighed, turned to Chen Xuan, and said with a wry smile, "Chen Xuan, my Jiangnan Province lost a hundred billion investment. You need to support me more!"
Now that even the Li family was finished, most of their assets would surely flow to the Su family. He could only hope to get some compensation from Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan looked at Wang Zhonghua, who was eagerly begging for a living, and couldn't help but smile. He said, "Provincial Governor Wang, don't worry. I can guarantee that Su Ning will not only not stop investing but will increase his stake!"
"Oh?"
Wang Zhonghua was very surprised by Chen Xuan's answer: "Why?"
