Wei Ming barely paid attention to Wei Jiang’s complaints. Wei Jiang saw the stoic expression, a sight he had become accustomed to over time.
Wei Ming didn’t know how he walked out of the villa and made it back to his small villa.
Upon entering the villa, Wei Ming quickly turned on his computer and found the news of Yang Shu drowning.
Although the police’s initial assessment indicated that Yang Shu had slipped and fell into the water, Wei Ming’s emotions churned. He knew that things were not that simple.
After Wen Sheng’s death, Yang Shu resigned and left. Back then, Wei Ming hadn’t paid it much thought. However, as he investigated further, things became clearer and clearer. Yang Shu was more than just an insider; he was the mastermind behind the concoction of the poison.
Gazing at the pixelated image on the webpage, Wei Ming found himself in a trance, the memory of Yang Shu’s appearance slipping away from his grasp.
He silently retrieved the documents concealed within the drawer. The folder had weathered with time, yet its contents remained discernible. Enclosed were numerous blood test reports predating Wen Sheng’s passing, along with information that Wei Feng had borrowed funds to uncover.
The events encompassed the tragedy endured by the shop owner. Wei Ming knew what Wei Feng had done, but he didn’t want to delve deeper into the investigation.
Everyone thought that he couldn’t move on from the pain of losing his wife, but only he knew the truth. The truth was that he couldn’t bear to look at his father or face the Wen Family.
In the midst of his restless thoughts, the doorbell chimed once more. After a brief moment, Wei Ming opened the door and saw Wei Xiao who was panicking.
“Dad, Dad, I…” Wei Xiao was frightened and couldn’t speak coherently.
Wei Ming quickly pulled him in. “What happened?”
Wei Xiao vigorously shook his head, taking in several deep breaths before speaking, “Yang Shu, Dr. Yang died. Dad, Grandpa was about to look for him a few days ago. And he suddenly passed away. Is that even possible? Could Grandpa be involved?”
Wei Xiao quickly covered his mouth, fearful that he would say something treasonous.
Wei Ming’s expression had already grown somber as he unintentionally glanced at the folder resting on the desk. When Wei Xiao saw the folder, his eyes lit up. However, he promptly lowered his head, maintaining his act of trepidation.
“Wei Xiao, you must pretend that you know nothing about this. Don’t tell anyone that you’re aware of Grandpa’s search for Yang Shu, alright?”
Wei Ming rarely spoke so seriously. Hearing his words, Wei Xiao’s eyes turned red. Perhaps this was how a father should be when he cared about his son?
However, this was not the time to be concerned. Wei Xiao looked up and said with red eyes, “Does that mean that the rumors online are true? What about the Wen family? What about Wen Nian? Yang Shu is dead, and Grandpa Wen is dead. Dad, do you think Uncle Wen’s family is in danger?”
Hearing Wei Xiao’s words, Wei Ming’s eyes darkened. His throat moved a few times, and his lips opened but he couldn’t make a sound.
Wei Xiao knew that Wei Ming was having a mental struggle. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety were difficult to achieve, so he decided to add fuel to the fire.
“Dad, I’m in the same class as Wen Nian now. Why don’t 1 remind her family secretly?”
Wei Xiao took another deep breath, as if he had made a major decision. He looked at Wei Ming steadily. “Why don’t 1 investigate what evidence Yang Shu has? When the time comes, I’ll tell Grandpa that if he dares to touch Wen Nian, 1’11 make the evidence public!”
“Wen Nian and I grew up together. Grandpa Wen is also very good to me. The two of us almost got married. 1 can’t watch the Wen family fall apart.”
“Dad, Uncle Wen is also your childhood friend. You two used to be so close! We can’t just watch and do nothing!”
Every word Wei Xiao said hit Wei Ming’s fragile heart. Wei Ming’s face turned paler and paler. He covered his chest and took a few steps back, bumping into the table. He held the table with his hand and touched the folder.
“Wei Xiao.” Wei Ming asked hoarsely, “Do you really want to help the Wen family and protect Wen Nian?”
Hearing his question, Wei Xiao’s heart almost stopped. He nodded vigorously. “Dad, I’m your son. Don’t you believe me? I’ll definitely protect the Wen family!”
Wei Ming looked at Wei Xiao appraisingly Looking at the boy’s face, which bore a striking resemblance to his wife’s, and observed the unwavering determination in his eyes, Wei Ming let out a slow breath.
“Take a look at the documents inside..”
