Chapter 304: Discussing Countermeasures

Leaving the small villa, Wei Xiao’s forehead furrowed. He had figured that Wei Ming would spill the investigation details, but Wei Ming was intent on handling it himself.
What was his move now? Wei Xiao felt a surge of frustration. Wei Ming hardly ever left the villa, so what could Wei Ming do?
Seemed like cranking things up was his only option to getting more evidence.
Wei Xiao had toyed with the idea of tracking down Yang Shu. But the sly moves of Wei Feng held him back. Even if he managed to trace Yang Shu, odds were he’d come up empty-handed for proof.
Unexpectedly, Yang Shu came back to Hai City to ask Wei Feng for money. Back then, the Wei Family didn’t have such a big business, so Yang Shu took 500,000 yuan, which was a lot. But now, the Wei Family was no longer the same as before. Since Yang Shu could help murder someone, it’s not impossible for him to come back and blackmail Wei Feng.
Since Yang Shu had rushed back, it meant that he must have other evidence. At the thought of this, a plan chimed in Wei Xiao’s mind.
When he heard that Yang Shu was in Hai City, Wei Feng’s face darkened, especially when he learned that someone else was investigating Yang Shu. In Wei Feng’s opinion, the “insider” on the internet seem more likely to be Yang Shu himself.
He was the kind who’d kiss up to anyone for perks. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped Wei Feng find a slow-acting way to harm Wen Sheng back then. Maybe some showbiz reporter had paid Yang Shu some money for him to reveal such important information.
This got Wei Feng thinking – Yang Shu must not be allowed to stay much longer. However, the problem was that the Wei family was at the center of the storm, unable to do much.
After thinking for a while, he realized that he had evidence that Yang Shu had accepted bribes, so it wasn’t a bad thing for them to keep each other in check. Therefore, reached out to Yang Shu and negotiated. In the end, he forked over three million yuan and a shiny Mercedes as hush money. Yang Shu gave Wei Feng the evidence and skedaddled from Hai City on the same day after receiving the money.
At the same time, Shen Jun also received news from Yang Shu. This matter was very important. He had to tell Wen Nian.
Shen Jun took advantage of the weekend to tell her everything. When Wen Nian heard the news, it took her more than half a day to process the news.
A lot from her past seemed to weave into her current life. In that earlier chapter of her life, the million yuan was a mystery. Maybe the Wen pair had their suspicions way back then. Perhaps they even had some evidence pointing at the accident being staged.
Wen Nian’s death was fishy too. And from her entrance into showbiz to her prison stint and death, Wei Feng was the sole one reaping benefits.
After killing all the relevant people, no one would investigate the truth This mean that Wei Feng could sleep easy.
When she thought about how her entire family had died tragically in her previous life and how she had died with remaining grievances in prison, her face drained of color as her heart ached.
“Wen Nian? Wen Nian, what’s wrong?” Shen Jun quickly helped her smooth her chest while Wen Nian grabbed his arm tightly.
Her eyes were bloodshot, a furious glint in them. Shen Jun was stunned when he saw her expression. It was an expression of hatred, with anger, unwillingness, and even a trace of bloodlust.
Shen Jun gripped her shoulder, shaking her a bit. His arm’s pain didn’t deter him as he exclaimed, “Wen Nian! Focus on me, look at me.”
Hearing his voice, Wen Nian came back to her senses, but at this moment, her face was already covered in tears. The memories of her previous life were still vivid in her mind, and she could no longer control the hatred in her heart.
Shen Jun’s heart ached as he held her close. Seeing that her expression had recovered, he felt relieved.
“I’ve already asked someone to keep an eye on Yang Shu. He must have evidence. As long as we can validate the evidence, everything will be fine. I’ll take care of everything. I’ll handle it all. Your folks won’t suffer, and your grandpa will be avenged.”
Hearing Shen Jun’s voice, Wen Nian’s tears flowed uncontrollably. She hugged Shen Jun tightly.
Only when he was there did she have a point of reference in her life. She could feel that she had really lived again. He was her lifeline, the oxygen to her life. She only truly felt alive with him near.
After a while, she eased her grip, her voice shaky. “1 need to talk this over with my family. It’s not just my call. But involving the police is a must.”
“Alright, I’ll go back with you in a while. 1 think the Wei Family already knows that Yang Shu is in Hai City. Some things should be done sooner rather than later.” Shen Jun nodded in agreement.
The two of them packed their things and arrived at the noodle shop. It was just past noon, and there were fewer customers.
As they walked in, Zhou Mei rushed over to greet them. “Did you guys eat? Shall I cook something for you?”
Wen Nian said solemnly, “Mother, where’s Dad? Let’s close up this afternoon. I have something to tell you..”
