Wen Nian’s reply was a simple “Okay.” Huang Yue felt a surge of excitement upon seeing it. However, as she considered Director Wu’s instructions, she realized that it might be challenging for Director Wu to succeed if Shen Jun tagged along.

She wanted to instruct Wen Nian to come alone, but she had already sent the message and was now hesitant.

“Shen Jun?” Huang Yue retrieved the photo she had investigated earlier. It was a picture of Shen Jun socializing with his friends at a bar in the capital.

Huang Yue knew that the Shen family held significant influence in the capital, so she didn’t need to investigate extensively to understand his background. Envious of Shen Jun’s apparent concern for Wen Nian, whom she believed to be his girlfriend, Huang Yue’s jealousy surged.

Thinking about what Director Wu might do to Wen Nian, a cruel smile curled on Huang Yue’s lips. “Wen Nian, will Shen Jun still want you when you become akin to a withered flower?”

Having made up her mind, Huang Yue deleted her previous messages. She thought that things would be even more intriguing if Shen Jun joined the meeting.

“The Chuan Liu Clubhouse belongs to Xue Jiang’s family. I’ll accompany you; it’ll be easier to handle any unforeseen situations,” Shen Jun suggested as he contacted Xue Jiang.

After his investigation, Shen Jun had realized that dealing with someone like Huang Yue was not easy. She was willing to sacrifice her reputation for personal gain, and her standing in the entertainment industry was far from stellar. Such a person approaching Wen Nian was certainly cause for concern.

Wen Nian nodded in agreement. She couldn’t face Huang Yue on her own. Huang Yue was someone she had wished harm upon in both her previous and current lives, and she wasn’t foolish enough to attend this meeting alone.

When the two of them arrived at the Chuan Liu Clubhouse, Huang Yue was already waiting at the entrance. She seemed slightly surprised to see Shen Jun.

“Shen Jun? It’s been a while,” she greeted with a smile. If one didn’t know her true nature, they might mistake her for an innocent and pure individual.

Shen Jun only nodded in response, offering no words.

Huang Yue felt a pang of disappointment. With her looks, she might not have every man wrapped around her finger, but since entering the entertainment industry, no man had ever treated her with such indifference.

Nonetheless, she suppressed her frustration and turned to Wen Nian with a friendly smile. “Let’s head inside quickly. Is this your first time here? Booking a private room at the Chuan Liu Clubhouse is quite a feat; there’s nothing of this level in Hai City.”

With a touch of pride, Huang Yue continued, “If it weren’t for my VIP connections, I wouldn’t have been able to secure a booking at the last minute!”

Huang Yue had undeniably garnered significant attention due to Wen Nian’s recent popularity, along with the resources provided by various sponsors. She believed that if this trend continued, she would surely surpass Wen Nian.

On the contrary, Wen Nian still sported modest, student-like attire, appearing unassuming and unremarkable. Huang Yue relished the feeling of superiority she got from this contrast.

Wen Nian merely smiled as they made their way to the private room.

Huang Yue attempted to engage in polite small talk, but Wen Nian showed no interest in catching up. She cut to the chase and asked, “Where’s the gold bar? I’m willing to buy it from you.”

“You’re in such a hurry. The food here is exceptional, prepared by top-notch chefs they’ve hired exclusively. How about we chat while we eat?” Huang Yue tried to delay the discussion.

However, Wen Nian was not easily swayed. “There’s no need for idle chatter between us. If you have the gold bars and evidence, please present them. If not, I won’t waste my time.”

With that, Wen Nian rose from her seat, and Shen Jun stood up as well.

When Huang Yue saw that the two were leaving, she panicked and quickly stopped them. “Oh dear, I just wanted to catch up with my old classmate. I don’t have any ulterior motives. And of course, I have the gold bars with me. I’ve brought them along. How could 1 lie to you?”

Reluctantly, Huang Yue opened her bag under the watchful eyes of Wen Nian and Shen Jun. Inside, there was a small box containing a gold bar.

She slid the gold bar in front of Wen Nian. “Wei Xiao originally gave this to me as compensation for not buying me a gift. I had intended to deposit it in the bank, but he mentioned that it was related to your family, so I held onto it. Let’s see if it belongs to you.”

Wen Nian accepted the gold bar. It bore the appearance of an old-fashioned gold bar, with the “Wen” engraving appearing slightly less polished.

“I want this gold bar. How much do you want?” Wen Nian was straightforward and didn’t want to engage in unnecessary banter with Huang Yue.

“Isn’t this gold bar over 100 grams? Its market value is probably over 50,000 yuan, right?” Huang Yue raised her gaze to Wen Nian. “But since this gold bar can be considered evidence, and if the Wei family did indeed use your family’s money to amass their fortune, you might have a claim to the Wei family’s assets. How much do you think this gold bar is worth?”

Shen Jun said impatiently, “Cut the crap. How much do you want?”

Upon hearing Shen Jun’s stern tone, Huang Yue glanced at him with affectionate eyes and suddenly smiled.

“I was just joking. What kind of evidence is this? Wen Nian and I are old friends. You can consider this a gift to her. It’s worth just tens of thousands..”
