Wei Jiang followed his father guiltily into the study. Upon entering, he hastily closed the door.

Seeing Wei Feng’s stern expression, he quickly owned up to his mistake. “Dad, I spoke recklessly earlier. I genuinely didn’t mean it. I was just upset that my daughter was treated unfairly…”

“Upset?” Wei Feng’s tone was icy. “You want to drag the entire Wei family down with you? If this matter becomes public, think about Wen Sheng’s adopted son’s family. They’d create a massive scandal. They dared to stir up trouble at the Wei Corporation with no evidence. Imagine what would happen if your words spread.”

Wei Jiang paled, sweating profusely. “Dad, no one can expose this. You gave them a million yuan, and even if they returned it to us, they rejected it. Plus, you said you had no 1OU at the time.”

Initially, Wei Jiang had only known fragments about borrowing money from the Wen family. He wasn’t fully informed. He assumed the old man wanted to save face and conceal the situation.

But Wei Feng didn’t want the news to leak. He harbored concerns, and he would only entrust the execution of the plan to individuals he truly trusted. After careful consideration, he concluded that Wei Jiang was the more dependable choice. Thus, he divulged certain information to Wei Jiang. However, he did not reveal everything.

After some contemplation, Wei Feng continued, “First, discreetly find someone trustworthy to locate Yang Shu. Don’t alert him.”

“Yang Shu? The doctor? Didn’t he resign?” Wei Jiang had a vague idea that Wei Feng had given Yang Shu a sum of money. After Wen Sheng’s death, Yang Shu left the Wei family. Wei Jiang wasn’t aware that Wei Feng had been the one to end Wen Sheng’s life.

Wei Feng glared at him. “Just do as 1 say. This guy knows more than he should, and now he’s trying to blackmail me? Hmph!”

Seeing his father’s anger, Wei Jiang refrained from speaking further. He swiftly exited the study, determined to investigate Yang Shu.

Wei Jiang believed that Yang Shu, having been close to Wei Feng for a time, might possess unique knowledge. Therefore, he ordered someone to investigate Yang Shu. Without hiding anything, he started to make a phone call in the corridor on the second floor.

“Yeah, Yang Shu used to work as a doctor at Central Hospital. Later, he became my father’s personal physician.”

“Is it necessary for me to tell you that I’m already aware of his whereabouts? If you manage to locate him, rest assured, the reward will be substantial.”

“Keep things low-profile and notify me of any developments.”

Wei Ming, who had come to the front-yard villa to fetch a couple of books, overheard Wei Jiang’s conversation. The mention of “Yang Shu” prompted him to crack the door open and eavesdrop.

After hanging up, Wei Jiang exited the room just as Wei Ming opened the door.

Observing Wei Ming’s ashen complexion, Wei Jiang couldn’t help but chide, “Why are you here? Look at your face. If you have nothing to do, come out more often. 1’11 take you for a walk one day. It’s been years; you should move past this.”

Wei Ming spoke slowly but didn’t answer his question directly. “Second Brother, did you say you were looking for Doctor Yang?”

“Why would I be looking for him? Our father hasn’t disclosed the reason why he is looking for him.” Wei Jiang said without hiding anything.

Wei Ming had remained in seclusion for many years, and the old master didn’t pay him much attention. Yet, his two brothers treated him well, fostering no enmity.

Wei Jiang whispered once more, “Seems like this Doctor Yang might have upset Grandpa Yang. It sounds like extortion. In any case, keep me updated if you find anything. And come out more often, don’t stay cooped up in that shabby villa behind.”

Wei Jiang then gave Wei Ming a pat on the shoulder and left.

However, Wei Ming clung to the book, his knuckles turning white. Thoughts of the documents locked away in his drawer chilled him further.

In the end, Wei Ming took a deep breath and thought that he would never come here again. Out of sight, out of mind.

The Wei family had spent a lot of money to suppress this matter, but a few media outlets still refused to let go of this matter.

Especially when a prominent paparazzo’s social media account insinuated foul play in Wen Nian’s grandfather’s death, attaching an expose from an insider, the internet erupted.

Around the same time, Shen Jun received the chemical formula analysis report he had commissioned. It revealed not only a painkiller ingredient but also records of other experimental drugs.

Jiang Zhen sounded concerned over the phone. “Shen Jun, what are you up to? I’ve tasked someone with investigating. Those two compounds are both slow-acting poisons. If you encounter any issues in Hai City, inform me.. Don’t do anything reckless!”
