Wei Xiao returned to the bedroom nervously, feeling a little flustered.

He thought that Wei Ming would definitely die, but he didn’t expect that Wei Feng’s old butler really went to the small villa to visit Wei Ming. Wei Ming was discovered to have slit his wrist in the bathroom not too late, so his life was saved.

Initially saddened by Wei Ming’s plight, his thoughts now swirled with the repercussions of Jiang Guo’s words.

“If you want the Jiang family in the capital to think highly of you, some people have to give up.”

Considering Jiang Guo’s possible motives for saying such a thing, Wei Xiao speculated that it might be the Jiang Wei faction advising him about the Shen family’s arrival. There was this glimmer of hope for his future.

Wei Feng had been rushed to the hospital. They had called the ambulance an hour after the cerebral hermorrhage and it was just as expected that Wei Feng couldn’t wake up. Wei Ming was also unconscious because of excessive blood loss. The board of directors would probably criticize him in the future and wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

He was a little boy who had lost his mother, his father had committed suicide, and his grandfather was unconscious. Of course, he would not be the target of the board of directors.

However, when he thought of the fierce Wei Hai downstairs, Wei Xiao’s expression darkened. He really didn’t know this uncle, but what Wei Hai had done was enough to make him suffer.

Wei Hai hadn’t ventured to the hospital alone; he had arranged for medical staff and ensured that Wei Feng received proper care. Wei Xiao’s own people were rendered powerless in the face of Wei Hai’s arrangements.

To exacerbate matters, a board member warned Wei Xiao about Wei Hai’s spies, urging caution. In addition, Wei Xiao had heard from his room that Wei Hai was returning to the Wei Corporation. He panicked even more.

Faced with these mounting challenges, Wei Xiao reached for his phone and dialed Jiang Guo. Binding himself to the Jiang family became the utmost priority.

Meanwhile, Shen Jun, sleepless for most of the night, grappled with the results of Zhao Wu’s investigation. He didn’t even know how to explain it to Wen Nian.

The evidence of Wei Feng’s murder was conclusive. Not only was the murder of Wen Sheng exposed, but the suspect of Yang Shu’s murder was also arrested in another province yesterday. According to two people, it was Wei Feng who contacted them. Wei Feng’s fingerprints were found on the money box.

Moreover, the goods pulled by the Li brothers traced back to a Wei Corporation branch. It was said that Wei Feng had repeatedly instructed them to hire the Li brothers as drivers.

The few managers of the Wei Corporation unanimously agreed that the chairman’s orders were the driving force behind their actions. They claimed to be merely adhering to established rules, supported by the fact that Wei Feng’s signature adorned the contracts in question.

All of this pointed to Wei Feng. Although Wen Xun’s family’s matter was still inconclusive and the result of the investigation was still suicide, it was not difficult to guess who the mastermind was.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong. Wei Feng was the chairman of the Wei Corporation after all. Why did he do it himself every time he killed someone?

However, all the witnesses reported the same story. Even if the police were suspicious, there was probably no other way.

In the midst of this unfolding drama, Shen Jun found himself grappling with a headache. It was almost as though the evidences had agreed to show up together after New Year’s Eve just to finalize the verdict.

Wei Feng, on the other hand, wasn’t in good condition. He had a severe cerebral hemorrhage and couldn’t leave the intensive care unit at all. If he couldn’t be revived during the 48-hour critical period, he probably wouldn’t live to the third day of the Lunar New Year. Even in the event of discovering his involvement in foul play, the Wei family would ultimately bear the burden of compensation. Shen Jun couldn’t help but ponder the paradox of seeking justice for a man whose demise seemed imminent. The idea of venting anger on a lifeless body felt futile.

While Shen Jun anticipated Wen Nian’s premonition, he struggled with the prospect of conveying these grim details to her. Being the bearer of such news weighed heavily on him, as he grappled with the conflict between duty and compassion.

Amidst the turmoil, Shen Jun’s phone interrupted his thoughts. It was a message from Jiang Chun on WeChat.

Jiang Chun: Happy New Year! Jiang Chun wishes you a happy new year! I hope that you can get into the ideal school in the last semester of your third year! (Although I know that you will definitely be fine!)

Shen Jun frowned. Recalling that Jiang Chun had come to the house yesterday, he replied on WeChat.

Shen Jun: Happy New Year.

Jiang Chun, however, didn’t anticipate such a perfunctory reply. When she had visited the Shen Jun’s parents, he didn’t expect that Shen Jun would be absent. He had been keeping Wen Nian company and had not returned at all.

She felt a little depressed. Shen Mo’s visit to Hai City was a big deal. Many families in Hai City were probably keeping an eye on him, but very few people knew about Shen Jun’s background.

She thought she was in a favorable position. After all, she had saved Shen Jun. Jiang Chun clearly remembered that Shen Jun’s mother liked her very much back then, but for some reason, the two families stopped contacting each other.

This time, she wanted to rebuild a good relationship. In the future, she would need to return to the capital. While the Jiang family was not a bad option, she felt the necessity to align herself with a more influential supporter. The Shen family was not her only choice, but it was undoubtedly her best one..
