Seeing that Wen Nian remained silent, Shen Jun held her hand with concern. “1 understand that you’re not feeling well, but some things should be addressed sooner rather than later.”
“But what about the matter with the three Li brothers, my uncle, and aunt? Hasn’t that been resolved yet?” She continued to frown, feeling that some issues remained unresolved.
“Furthermore, Wen Yan hasn’t regained consciousness yet. My parents are considering transferring her to a major hospital in Hai City in a few days. I’m not sure if she’ll ever wake up. These lives…”
Wen Nian gripped the spoon in her hand tightly, her fingertips turning white.
“I want the person behind this to pay the price.”
Shen Jun gently took the spoon from her hand and rubbed her fingertips. “Okay, 1’11 stand by your side. My uncle is also working on the investigation. 1 believe we’ll have answers soon.”
Wen Nian gazed at Shen Jun with gratitude and then managed a small smile. “Shen Jun, I’m grateful to have you.”
Looking at the girl before him, Shen Jun embraced her. “Wen Nian, I’m grateful to have you too. Truly.”
The Wen family had indeed been very busy that day. Although Wen Nian, as a younger member of the family, didn’t have many concrete tasks, there were a constant stream of visitors coming and going.
Li Ke’s family had few relatives, and they came and left in haste. Given that the Li family was also holding a funeral, the elders of their family had little time to attend to Li Ke’s funeral.
As night fell, the day’s obligations had been fulfilled. The entire family was nearly exhausted. Even Shen Jun felt that he couldn’t straighten his back.
Sitting down for dinner was a challenging endeavor for the family. It was almost 8 PM. Despite the exhausting day, no one had much of an appetite.
Considering the recent events involving Wen Xun’s family, Wen Nian felt that certain matters could not be delayed any longer.
“Dad, Mom, Brother, there’s something 1 need to tell you,” Wen Nian said with utmost seriousness.
Upon seeing her expression, Wen Yu suspected that she was about to reveal that Wei Feng had poisoned her grandfather. He positioned himself slightly behind his parents, just in case they couldn’t handle the shock and fainted.
Zhou Mei glanced at Shen Jun and said, “Nian Nian, must you share this now?”
In other words, there were outsiders.
“Yes, it must be said now,” Wen Nian declared firmly. “Besides, Shen Jun has done a lot to help our family. He should be here.”
“What has Shen Jun done to help? Nian Nian, what are you about to say? I’m confused,” Wen Xing looked at the two of them with puzzlement, but his gut told him that this was no minor matter.
Wen Nian took a deep breath and began slowly, “Dad, Mom, you need to prepare yourselves for what I’m about to reveal. It concerns Wei Feng and Grandpa.”
“You mean Wei Feng and your grandfather?” Wen Xing stood up agitatedly and almost lost his balance, but Shen Jun quickly caught him.
“Yes,” Wen Nian said, attempting to control her emotions. “Grandpa lent money to Wei Feng in the past. Wei Feng not only failed to repay the money but also poisoned Grandpa. Shen Jun has already gathered evidence for us.” “What?” Zhou Mei and Wen Xing said almost in unison.
Wen Yu supported Zhou Mei, and Shen Jun assisted Wen Xing. When Wen Nian realized that the two of them were still stable, she proceeded to recount the entire story.
She started from the moment she and Shen Jun discovered the account book in the old residence and continued through the evidence of Yang Shu poisoning Wen Sheng. She covered Yang Shu’s death and the evidence found in Yang Shu’s possession.
With each revelation, the color drained from Wen Xing and Zhou Mei’s faces. By the time she finished speaking, they were so shocked that they couldn’t utter a word.
After a considerable silence, Wen Xing picked up a teacup from the table and hurled it against the wall. “Wei Feng, that wretched scoundrel! A monster! He’s a beast!”
Meanwhile, Zhou Mei was already in tears. Her shoulders trembled, but words eluded her.
Shen Jun stepped forward and guided Wen Xing back to his seat. “Uncle, 1 understand your anger, but we need to stay composed right now. We rely on you, the leader of the family, to determine our next steps.”
Upon hearing Shen Jun’s counsel, Wen Xing glanced at his wife, who was crying uncontrollably, and his two children. It was only then that he regained his composure.
“You are such a good kid,” he patted Shen Jun on the shoulder. In that moment, he was certain that he needed to be strong for his family. They were all counting on his decision.
“Dad, 1 think we should report this to the police. Shen Jun has already gathered the evidence,” Wen Nian gently reminded him.
Wen Yu chimed in, “Indeed, something has occurred in Youngest Uncle’s family, and it might be connected to the Wei family. We need a thorough investigation.”
Zhou Mei nodded vigorously in agreement.
Only then did Wen Xing take a deep breath.. “Very well, tomorrow morning, we’ll go and report this to the police!”
