Upon hearing this revelation, Shen Jun’s breathing momentarily halted. Nevertheless, he carried on without batting an eyelid. “Murder, you say? Haha, your old man wouldn’t have left behind any evidence even if he had committed such a deed, let alone allow a child like you to possess such evidence.”

Wei Xiao extended a finger and gestured confidently. “You may not be aware, but he is the most prudent individual I know. He’s adept at discretion in all matters. However, he’s unaware that his sons also possess an ace up their sleeves. My father might appear indifferent to the Wei family, but in reality, he’s well-informed about both the Wei and Wen families.”

Wei Xiao had always felt that this was his masterpiece, but regrettably, he couldn’t disclose it to anyone. Today, he saw his drinking session with Shen Jun as a rare opportunity. He could finally confide to someone who has no involvement in the series of events.

“My father and Wen Nian’s father were childhood friends, practically inseparable. However, my grandpa has killed Wen Nian’s grandpa, sparking a grudge over the murder of a parent. My father felt remorseful toward his friend but couldn’t bring himself to betray his own father. Consequently, he could only hide the evidence and steer clear of any interactions with the Wen family,” Wei Xiao shared.

“Do you possess all the evidence, which is why you secured the land?” Shen Jun inquired, gazing intently at Wei Xiao.

“Without a doubt,” Wei Xiao affirmed as he poured another glass of wine for Shen Jun. “The Wei family shall be in my control from this point onward, and the Shen family will be under your domain. We’ll meet again in the capital!”

As the glasses of white wine kept flowing, Wei Xiao’s complexion gradually reddened. He began to confide in Shen Jun, recounting his overseas struggles, Wei Feng’s oppressive actions, and even the issues he had faced due to Wen Nian’s persistent presence in the past.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jun’s frustration became palpable. Eventually, he couldn’t bear it any longer and arranged for someone to escort Wei Xiao back.

As Wei Xiao sat wearily in the car, Shen Gang couldn’t help but feel concerned. He offered, “Should 1 have Auntie Jiang prepare some hangover soup for you? You are young. You shouldn’t be drinking excessively like this all the time.”

Shen Jun massaged the space between his eyebrows. He hadn’t consumed much alcohol; it was Wei Xiao who had emptied the bottles. It appeared that Wei Xiao was in high spirits. However, Shen Jun had certainly invested considerable effort. Wei Xiao had mentioned possessing evidence, yet he had never disclosed the location of that evidence.

“Let’s go back first,” Shen Jun instructed.

At that moment, Shen Jun received a WeChat message on his phone, indicating that the investigation into Yang Shu had reached a conclusion. It even revealed that the five hundred thousand yuan Wei Feng had given him in the past had been exposed.

Yang Shu must have had something to do with Wen Sheng’s death, but now Yang Shu was also dead.

Shen Jun examined his phone and discovered that Yang Shu had a safe deposit box at the central bank, registered in the name of one of his nieces.

However, since Yang Shu had parted ways with the Wei family, he had returned to his hometown and set up a small clinic. His annual income barely exceeded 200,000 yuan. Given these circumstances, it appeared unlikely that he would need a safe deposit box.

What could be in the safe?

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Jun promptly contacted someone to continue the investigation. If possible, retrieving the contents of the safe would be the ideal outcome.

Following the third-year provincial examination, it was time for the final holiday of high school. While the students from other grades had already been on vacation, the third-year students were an exception. The school had granted them only seven days off, which included the New Year holiday.

For Wen Nian, though, holidays felt no different from regular days. The last semester was still ahead of her, and she was determined to give it her all. Additionally, she had to expose Wei Feng’s true nature before heading to university. She truly had no respite in sight.

Just as Wen Nian was reviewing the question she had answered incorrectly, she received a call from Xu Chang.

His voice carried a sycophantic tone. “Wen Nian, 1 heard that you are done with your provincial exams?”

“Director Xu, are you by any chance partaking in the bet on my exam results too? How many bags of potato chips did you wager?”

Wen Nian felt a bit taken aback. It appeared that everyone around her had joined in on this bet. If she didn’t make it into the top 8o before the new year, it seemed that those around her would likely clear out the supermarket’s potato chip aisle.

On the other end of the line, Xu Chang seemed somewhat guilty. “Hehe, 1 was just casually participating. The most important thing is the spirit of participation.”

“Will you be taking a break after the exams? 1 imagine you only have a few days off during your third year of high school, right? What are your plans?” Xu Chang went straight to the point.

Wen Nian sensed that he had a purpose in mind when he brought up the topic. She inquired straightforwardly, “The Year Three students have a seven-day break. Is there something you need from me, Director Xu?”

“You’re indeed smart. I’ve uttered just one sentence, and you’ve already grasped my intentions. It’s a shame you’re not part of the entertainment industry,” Xu Chang remarked.

Remembering Wen Nian’s reluctance to enter the entertainment industry, Xu Chang quickly feigned a cough. “Actually, I need your help with something. I’ve been tasked with directing a promotional video and we need a female lead..”
