“I’ve already arranged for a lawyer to assist in your lawsuit, aiming for increased compensation,” Shen Jun said, taking a deep breath. “I know you may not be interested in compensation, but under the circumstances, it’s our best option. Besides, Wen Yan’s ongoing treatment will undoubtedly incur substantial expenses. Moreover, there’s a lead regarding her being pushed into the water. The truth will come to light eventually.”

Hearing Shen Jun’s words, the few of them lost interest.

This wasn’t unfolding like a typical television drama where the villain faces justice and receives deserved punishment. Even with compensation, what good is it for someone who can’t be brought back to life?

Lunch arrived punctually. All the restaurants in Hai City had been fully booked two months prior for the Lunar New Year. Without Shen Jun’s efforts, their meal wouldn’t have been as lavish. Yet, nobody had the appetite to eat. Until Wei Feng and the Wei family faced consequences, the Wen family couldn’t find peace.

After lunch, Wen Nian stood up. “Dad, Mom, I’ll accompany Shen Jun back. 1 want to go out for some fresh air too.”

Zhou Mei initially wanted her to stay home and rest; Wen Nian had endured enough already. A child shouldn’t bear the weight of such matters. However, considering Shen Jun’s support for the family over the past days, she thought it was good for the couple to go out and talk.

Zhou Mei nodded. “Come back before it gets dark. Be careful.”

The two of them didn’t hop into the car after leaving. Instead, they strolled toward a small park behind the Wen family.

As it was the New Year, the park was adorned with red lanterns and Chinese knots, creating a festive atmosphere. Some children were clandestinely setting off firecrackers.

Wen Nian gazed at the scene ahead, seemingly uninterested. In her previous life, she had spent New Year’s with high-profile individuals, often attending numerous drinking sessions. She rarely returned home for the New Year. In her memory, the times she had a reunion dinner with her family could be counted on one hand.

She had lived a good life in this life. She had checked on her family, but it was still difficult for her to have a happy reunion meal.

“I’ve already arranged for a neurology specialist to come to Hai City after the New Year to treat Wen Yan,” Shen Jun shared after walking for almost half an hour. “Her condition isn’t optimistic. You need to prepare yourself mentally.”

Wen Nian simply nodded, choosing not to speak.

Shen Jun added, “Wen Yan was pushed by someone. The police conducted a scene investigation, but there are no surveillance cameras nearby, and they didn’t find anyone suspicious. So, we might need to be patient a little longer.” “There’s nothing to wait for,” Wen Nian suddenly said. “Even if we catch him, we’ll inevitably point at Wei Feng in the end. It’s perfect for a living dead to take the blame.”

Shen Jun’s eyes darkened slightly, but he didn’t say anything. He knew very well that Wen Nian sensed something was amiss in recent events, but they lacked concrete evidence.

“But Wei Xiao shouldn’t be so watertight now.” Wen Nian suddenly stopped in his tracks.

This puzzled her. Wei Feng had no reason to kill Yang Shu, let alone Wen Xun’s family. The three Li brothers were entirely unrelated to each other, not even worth Wei Feng’s attention.

Yang Shu held evidence of Wei Feng’s crimes, and the two kept each other in check. However, Wen Xun’s family was merely a sideshow. At most, they could generate some entertainment gossip, but it wouldn’t affect Wei Feng in any substantial way.

“The deaths of these people can’t actually threaten our family, but they can threaten Wei Ming. Wei Ming believes Wei Feng must wipe out our entire family. That’s why Wei Xiao made this move.”

“If someone close to him didn’t inform Wei Ming of this, he wouldn’t have believed it. He just needs to calm down and think about it to understand. If Wei Feng truly wanted to silence him, why go through such a convoluted scheme? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just eliminate us? Killing these people will only complicate matters.”

Wen Nian looked at Shen Jun steadily. “But Wei Xiao isn’t even 20 years old yet. He doesn’t possess such a meticulous mind. He bribed everyone in such a short period and prepared all the evidence flawlessly. This isn’t his doing.”

Shen Jun moved his lips a few times before finally asking, “Do you know Wei Xiao that well?”

Despite knowing that Wen Nian wasn’t trying to absolve Wei Xiao, Shen Jun felt a twinge of discomfort. Recalling how deeply she used to love Wei Xiao, Shen Jun couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy.

However, Wen Nian was lost in thought and didn’t detect the envy in his voice.

She replied, “No one knows him better than I do. I know the kind of person he is. With his current…”

Before she could finish, her mouth was covered by a pair of fiery lips..
