There were only three videos, and almost all of them were taken secretly. It seemed that Yang Shu was also trying to leave him a way out. Shen Jun tidied up the videos, backed them up, and then packed up before heading to Wen Nian’s hometown.

Shen Jiang rushed over early in the morning. Shen Jun didn’t want to trouble him, but he was genuinely worried without his own people. Besides, two individuals arranged by Zhao Wu accompanied him.

Shen Mo opened his eyes and saw Zhao Jiao looking out of the window with a serious expression. He asked, “Has the brat left?”

Zhao Jiao nodded. Yesterday, Zhao Wu had uncovered information about the Li brothers. He believed this matter was quite serious and informed Zhao Jiao and Shen Mo during the early hours of the morning. Meanwhile, Zhao Jiao hadn’t slept a wink all night.

Shen Mo stood up and embraced her. “Are you still not going to take action? Lives have been lost, and 1 fear the two kids can’t handle it.”

“Zhao Wu conducted an investigation, but he couldn’t find anything useful in the Wei family in Hai City,” Zhao Jiao said confidently. “Wen Nian must have her own thoughts.”

After a moment of contemplation, she added, “You should assign some people to keep an eye on him. A strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake.”

“I’ve already done that a while ago,” Shen Mo said, planting a kiss on Zhao Jiao’s forehead. “Don’t worry. With our support, this matter will undoubtedly be resolved. Besides, Lawyer Sun is set to arrive at noon. The brat probably already has the evidence. Lawyer Sun has an extensive network in Hai City’s public prosecution system.”

Hearing that Shen Mo had made preparations, Zhao Jiao sighed. “I really don’t know how the Wen family will spend the new year.”

It was nearly six o’clock when Shen Jun reached the Wen family’s old residence. The Wen family had already made preparations for the funeral, and the mourning hall was solemn. Wen Nian was also dressed in black with white flowers. Her eyes were tired and appeared to have lost sleep over the past day. “Shen, Shen Jun?” Seeing him, she even wondered if it was an illusion.

In her previous life, she had indeed attended several funerals, some for her parents, some for her grandfather, and some for others. As she gazed at the decorations in the mourning hall before her, her heart weighed heavy, but tears refused to fall.

Though she held a deep-seated grudge against Li Ke and Wen Xun, they were still her family. Considering that these people might have been killed by the Wei family, she felt a sense of disbelief. It was as though she had returned to her previous life, and the Wen family was on the brink of destruction once more.

The moment she saw Shen Jun, she snapped back to reality. This life was different from her previous one. She had been reborn and was determined to change her fate.

“Wen Nian, I’m here.” Shen Jun approached her and gently wrapped his arms around her.

Wen Yu coughed uncomfortably, prompting Shen Jun to release Wen Nian in embarrassment.

“Why are you here? Weren’t you supposed to be in the capital celebrating the new year?” Wen Nian asked hoarsely.

When Wen Xing noticed Shen Jun’s arrival at this time, he felt a sense of guilt. He quickly said, “Shen Jun, why are you here on New Year’s Eve? It’s considered inauspicious.”

“Uncle, Auntie, with something this big happening in the Wen Family, I have come to help in any way possible,” Shen Jun raised his head and gestured. “My driver and my uncle have also dispatched someone here. Don’t worry; we won’t let anything happen.”

Wen Yu pondered for a moment and asked, “Yesterday, someone from the police station came again. They even told us that Aunt’s three brothers were in a car accident. They assured us that they would conduct a thorough investigation. Does this suggest there’s something amiss in this matter?”

Zhao Wu had instructed the local police station to look after the Wen family, and the news about the Li family had left them understandably anxious. While it might be possible to attribute it all to coincidence, it seemed like an excessive string of coincidences.

Recalling the change in the police’s demeanor when they arrived the previous night, along with the Shen Jun family’s influential background, Zhou Mei’s evaluation of Shen Jun rose as she regarded the young man before her.

“Shen Jun, I came over early in the morning. You folks haven’t had a meal yet, have you? I’ve prepared some porridge. Please, have some.”

Shen Jun was about to decline, but when he thought of the evidence he had acquired that day, he nodded and motioned for Wen Nian to join him.

Mourners began arriving at the mourning hall one after another. Zhou Mei hastily went out to receive them, leaving only Wen Nian and Shen Jun.

It was only then that Shen Jun disclosed the content of the evidence he had obtained to Wen Nian. He refrained from showing her the video, not wanting to add to her grief at this moment.

However, after he had finished explaining, Wen Nian only furrowed her brow and remained silent.

In reality, the evidence matched the time of her grandfather’s accident as per her recollection. It was conclusive, and Wei Feng had no way to evade responsibility.

She glanced back at the mourning hall. Though she couldn’t actually see it from the back room, she could sense the sorrow emanating from there.

The question remained: Who should be held accountable for these lives?
