Under the table. Wen Nian’s hands were clenched tightly, but there was no expression on her face.

She had a rough idea of the Shen family’s ability in the past year or two. There were too few families in the capital that could go against the Shen family. Even if there were, they were inextricably linked to the Shen family and would not easily make a move. Moreover, how could Huang Yue know about such a thing?

Seeing that Wen Nian was still silent, Huang Yue panicked completely. This was her last trump card.

She hurriedly said, “I-I really have evidence. Shen Jun is in danger, and the Shen family must know. As long as he’s willing to help me, I’ll show the evidence. Then, the Shen family will have another trump card!”

The two of them looked at each other in silence for a while before Wen Nian said, “If you have such important evidence, why didn’t you go to the Shen family early to claim credit? Are you sure you can get such evidence?”

Wen Nian’s tone was slightly sarcastic. Her meaning was obvious. If Huang Yue was really so capable, how could she have fallen to such a state?

“I know that I’m inferior to you in everything. I don’t have parents who dote on me. She’s just an illegitimate daughter. She’s not worth anything.” Huang Yue sank into her seat dispiritedly.

“But I’ve been in the upper-class circle in the capital recently. The people I can come into contact with are naturally beyond your imagination.”

Her tone suddenly became smug. “Do you know how big the villa I live in is? Do you know how many carats my diamond ring has? Do you know how much my emerald earrings cost? Do you know—”

As she spoke, Huang Yue saw the mocking smile on Wen Nian’s lips. She asked angrily, “What are you laughing at? Do you think I’m ridiculous? You’ve never enjoyed this before. What do you know?”

“Are you done? I’m not interested in how much money you have.” Wen Nian waved her hand impatiently and stood up to leave. “Besides, you won’t have a chance to use this money anymore.”

“Wait! Wait!” Huang Yue stood up in exasperation, but her eyes were filled with fear. If Wen Nian left, she would be completely finished.

She could also ask Wei Xiao for help, but she knew that Wei Xiao was not as capable as Shen Jun. Moreover, Wei Xiao had not contacted her for more than a month.

She said anxiously, “Wen Nian, I’m not lying to you. You know me. I wouldn’t have looked for you if I didn’t have any anything to leverage!”

Seeing Wen Nian turn around, she said, “Let me give you a hint. There’s a problem with Shen Jun’s savior, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.”

As expected, Wen Nian frowned when she heard that this matter had something to do with Jiang Chun.

“She must have always wanted to get between you and Shen Jun, right? The Shen family will definitely be able to find something with this little clue.” Huang Yue softened her tone. “I just need a reliable lawyer who can help me get the maximum reduction in my sentence, but the Shen family can protect Shen Jun. I’ll give you two days to consider. Otherwise, I’ll leak the news to others…”

Huang Yue didn’t continue. She felt that a woman like Wen Nian would definitely help her for the sake of Shen Jun. In the past, she didn’t care about anything for Wei Xiao and even turned against her family.

But this time, she was half right. Wen Nian no longer only knew how to fall in love, but she would indeed do anything for Shen Jun.

When she returned to the villa, she told Shen Jun about the matter directly. This matter concerned Shen Jun’s safety. She could not hide it. Only the Shen family could investigate the Jiang family.

But when Shen Jun heard this news, he didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to suspect Jiang Chun. Back then, they were both four or five years old children, and Jiang Chun had indeed blocked the branding iron for him. Even if Jiang Chun was a little careful, he didn’t want to think too badly of her.

However, the reason why Shen Mo called him back to the capital in advance this time was that there was a problem with the Shen family. Someone had started to buy the shares of the Shen Group, and the results of Shen Mo’s investigation pointed to Jiang Wei. In addition, Jiang Chun’s strange move to transfer to Hai City made the Shen family call Shen Jun back and ask him carefully about his situation in Hai City. After confirming that he was indeed fine, they were relieved.

Looking at Shen Jun’s serious expression, Wen Nian knew that what Huang Yue said might be true.

She asked softly, “Even your family can’t find out what the Jiang family is up to?”

Shen Jun shook his head. “Jiang Wei is an unpredictable person, and he almost doesn’t trust anyone. His secretary changes every three years or so. His relationship with Jiang Chun’s mother isn’t that good either. It’s said that the two of them have been playing their own games for a long time.”

“Then should we agree to Huang Yue’s request?” Wen Nian asked tentatively..
