Wei Ming remained silent for a long time before looking up at Wen Nian and Shen Jun. “It’s because your uncle and his family were killed.”

“As I suspected, Wen Xun’s family was also victims of your father’s actions,” Wen Xing’s hands trembled, and his voice quivered with anger.

Wei Ming swallowed hard and finally nodded in confirmation, substantiating Wen Xing’s suspicion.

Despite Wen Xun not being a virtuous person, after having spent so many years with him, Wen Xing still regarded him as his biological younger brother. Learning that Wei Feng was the murderer had ignited Wen Xing’s rage to its peak.

“Wei Feng is a maniac. Does he truly believe that the Wei family is above the law, capable of doing whatever they please? He’s not afraid to take lives! None of you are decent people!”

Wen Xing’s eyes reddened. He grabbed Wei Ming’s collar and shook him vigorously, though Wei Ming did not resist. Silent tears streamed down his face.

“Dad, please, calm down!” Wen Nian and Shen Jun swiftly intervened to separate the two of them.

While trying to console Wen Xing, Wen Nian spoke, “If Uncle Wei hadn’t reported this to the police, we might not have had enough evidence to convict him. He took a considerable risk by going to the police. Dad, you can’t resolve this with a single blow. There are good people within the Wei family.”

Wei Ming was stirred by Wen Nian’s words. “No, I’m not a good person. I’ve known about this for a long time, yet I remained silent. I’m a coward.”

“But if 1 don’t speak up… Yang Shu died last time, and now Wen Xun. Next time, it might be you. 1 can’t just watch your family be destroyed. I can’t, I can’t…”

Wei Ming’s voice was choked with tears, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He became increasingly incoherent.

As Wei Ming grappled with what Wei Feng had done to the Wen family and looked at his best friend before him, he was uncertain of his place, his duty, and the actions he should take.

Shen Jun, who had been observing from the side, sensed that something was amiss from Wei Ming’s disoriented words.

He asked, “Uncle Wei, are you implying that Wei Feng killed Wen Xun this time to silence him? Is it because his family knew something?”

Upon hearing Shen Jun’s question, Wei Ming managed to regain his composure.

“If Yang Shu hadn’t been killed by him, I might have taken this secret to my grave.”

Wei Ming sniffled and continued, “I had already implored Wei Xiao to warn the old man with the evidence last time, but he didn’t stop. When Wen Xun’s family confronted the Wei Corporation, he must have believed they had uncovered something, which is why he silenced them by killing them.”

Wen Nian and Shen Jun exchanged knowing glances at Wei Ming’s words. It appeared that Wei Xiao was involved.

“Did you inform the police about Yang Shu’s and Wen Xun’s deaths when you called them this time?” Wen Nian inquired.

Wei Ming shook his head, replying, “I didn’t have any evidence, but who else could it be? He has always been like this. Anyone who poses a threat to him meets the same fate.”

“Are you saying that you called the police this time because you were afraid that something would happen to us after the incident at my uncle’s house?” Wen Nian asked in confusion. “But how did you even know that something had happened to my uncle’s house? It’s not something widely reported, and you usually don’t leave your house.”

The death of Wen Xun’s family might have been caused by someone, but there was no concrete evidence. To put it simply, a family in the village had committed suicide for some reason. No website would report it. Wei Ming usually stayed home all the time, so how would he know about these things?

Wei Ming explained, “Wei Xiao told me. Ever since Yang Shu’s death, I’ve been worried, so I asked Wei Xiao to keep an eye on your family’s situation. He was the one who informed me about this.”

Wei Ming’s words only deepened the suspicion in Wen Nian’s mind. How could Wei Xiao, who was Wei Feng’s son, be helping the Wen family? It was perplexing.

Realizing that there was more to share, Wei Ming hurriedly added, “Wei Xiao also mentioned that my father… he had plans to harm your family. If Wen Nian hadn’t gained sudden fame, he probably would have taken action after your family opened the shop. Wen Xun’s death this time was a warning to your family.”

“But, Wen Xing, 1 know you well. You wouldn’t hesitate to seek the truth even if you were afraid. Wei Xiao mentioned that his grandfather was already assembling people to target your family, and it was planned for after the New Year. So, I had to call the police quickly to protect you. I didn’t want you to be in danger.”

Wei Ming spoke rapidly and anxiously, his gaze fixed on Wen Xing as if he feared that Wen Xing wouldn’t believe him.

However, Wen Nian lowered her gaze, silently confirming that her suspicions about Wei Xiao’s involvement were well-founded..
