Shen Jun snorted coldly. “I am not someone to murder with poison. I am better than that. I’m hanging up.”

After ending the call, Shen Jun re-examined the report’s contents on his phone. He promptly dialed another number.

“Yes, his name is Yang Shu. He used to be a doctor for the Wei family. Locate him and gather all the information about his time with the Wei family. Do it quickly.”

Upon Shen Jun’s return to the classroom, he noticed Wen Nian diligently engrossed in writing.

Science had always been a challenge for her, particularly since she struggled with the concepts in her third year of high school. Consequently, she channeled nearly all her energy into schoolwork. Shen Jun intended to utilize the vast number of practice questions to help her establish a deeper connection with the subject matter.

Sensing Shen Jun’s presence, Wen Nian briefly looked up and smiled at him before resuming her task.

Shen Jun contemplated speaking a few times but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Wen Nian didn’t want him to interfere in many things, but this matter was too big. If it truly involved Wei Feng’s murder, the Wen family wouldn’t be capable of managing it alone. He still decided to help Wen Nian.

When school ended, Wen Nian started massaging her sore neck.At this rate, she might develop cervical spondylosis even before going to university.

Naturally, Shen Jun reached out and began massaging her neck. Nearby students were accustomed to this and pretended not to notice.

At this moment, Shen Jun’s phone rang again. Noticing Jiang Zhen’s caller ID, he hesitated to answer. However, Jiang Zhen’s insistence led to several missed calls.

In the end, Shen Jun acquiesced, answering the phone as Wen Nian observed curiously. Soon, Jiang Zhen’s voice erupted, “The plans for the satellite city in the western suburbs are settled! The land’s value will double again. When are you coming back to celebrate?”

Shen Jun quickly muffled the phone. Fortunately, the classroom was relatively empty, and no one seemed to pay attention to his conversation. However, Wei Xiao, with keen hearing, turned around from the front row. He overheard the term “western suburbs,” immediately sparking his interest.

Shen Jun nodded at Wen Nian, indicating that he was going out to answer the call, and left the classroom.

Wei Xiao contemplated for a moment, then followed suit. At the corridor’s far end, he could still hear Shen Jun’s voice.

“That is the government’s plan. They can only execute the plan in the western suburbs.”

“The Wei family in Hai City already secured it. We’ll need to complete the procedures. Your family might not stand a chance.”

“I estimate the land value will more than double. The formal documents haven’t been released yet, right? There’s no need to rush.”

“I haven’t decided whether it’ll be a villa complex or residential development. Either way, the documents are pending. Let’s wait and observe.”

In fact, Shen Jun, through the glass, spotted Wei Xiao’s retreating figure. Recalling the papers Wei Xiao possessed – likely evidence against Wei Feng – he realized he still needed to use Wei Xiao.

“Shen Jun, 1 was quite intoxicated that day. I appreciate your arrangement for my transportation. I haven’t properly thanked you yet.” Wei Xiao’s gratitude was sincere, devoid of awkwardness.

Shen Jun merely nodded and headed toward the classroom.

Observing his lack of intention to converse, Wei Xiao hastened his pace to keep up. “I’ve heard rumors about the planned development in the capital’s western suburbs. Is there any truth to it?”

“Yes.” That was Shen Jun’s answer.

Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened, and he continued inquisitively, “So, what’s the government’s proposal? Or could this parcel be developed independently? I’ve noticed our family’s plot is slated for either a mall or small apartments. It’s not particularly spacious – a constraint. Nonetheless, what are your thoughts about its location?”

Hearing his words, Shen Jun stopped walking. However, instead of answering, he asked, “Have you acquired the land? It seems the Wei family hasn’t finalized the procedures. Ultimately, your grandfather would make the call, right?””

Wei Xiao choked at Shen Jun’s question.

Indeed, he hadn’t even graduated high school and wasn’t part of Wei Corporation. He doesn’t have much authority.

Observing his silence, a faint smirk tugged at Shen Jun’s lips, a hint of mockery. “Ask me when you have the authority to speak.”

Wei Xiao clenched his fists. Shen Jun’s air of superiority irked him, but Shen Jun had the capital to do so.

Thinking of what Wei Jiang had mentioned at home that day, he felt that the evidence he had was probably not enough to obtain this piece of land. Indeed, there were some things that he had to do as soon as possible..
