Wei Xiao was in a good mood and waved his hand dismissively. “1 can’t say I’m brimming with confidence, but I’m reasonably assured. Well have to support each other when we’re in the capital.”

Shen Jun held back his disdain and didn’t snort derisively. Instead, he shifted the topic, inquiring, “It’s merely a matter of owing money. It’s not a substantial sum. The Wen family could probably borrow only a few hundred thousand yuan at most. Didn’t your grandfather give them a million yuan? That should make it even. Furthermore, your grandfather took care of the funeral expenses for Old Master Wen.”

“Even?” Wei Xiao’s words came out slightly slurred, and his speech wasn’t entirely clear. “Perhaps money can be even, but can lives? Can human lives?”

Growing increasingly impassioned, Wei Xiao downed another glass of wine. The fiery sensation made him shudder.

Finally, in a somewhat incoherent manner, he continued, “Profound kindness can sometimes become intense animosity, particularly for those of higher status. You’ve seen his most vulnerable side. You extended your help when he was at his lowest point, so now you’re his adversary. How do you think my grandfather will treat someone who has rendered him such a significant favor? Why do you think he insisted on having Doctor Yang treat Grandfather Wen Nian? Hehe, the Wen family is still naive!”

A few more slurred words followed, but it was evident that Wei Xiao was quite intoxicated.

Suddenly, he clung to the back of his chair, retching. Shen Jun promptly moved to the side. Wei Xiao grabbed the chair’s back haphazardly, dislodging his jacket. A few folded sheets of paper tumbled from his jacket pocket. Shen Jun discreetly picked them up.

The papers contained chemical formulas. Though Shen Jun wasn’t an expert in medicine, he could discern that they outlined the process of creating some kind of medicine. He couldn’t shake the feeling that the formula looked familiar, like that of a potent painkiller.

Additionally, there was a record of payments to an individual named “Yang Shu.” Each transaction was meticulously documented. This seemed to be the “Doctor Yang” Wei Xiao mentioned.

While Wei Xiao was still vomiting, he quickly took a photo of these pieces of paper with his phone and secretly put them back.

Wei Xiao was vomiting so much that it seemed impossible for him to say anything else. Only then did Shen Jun call the waiter to send him back.

As soon as Wen Nian walked in, she smelled an unpleasant smell. She quickly pulled Shen Jun away. “Aren’t you a clean freak? How can you stand it?”

Shen Jun, clearly lost in thought, only responded once Jiang Chun posed the question. He returned to his senses and asked, “Are you familiar with a Dr. Yang Shu? Did he treat your grandfather?”

“Doctor Yang?” Wen Nian frowned. “1 was too young at that time. I’ll go back and ask my parents.”

Shen Jun, however, shook his head. “Don’t ask. I’ll look into this matter. If Dr. Yang Shu is indeed connected to Wei Feng, it shouldn’t be difficult to unearth the truth. Wei Xiao wouldn’t have mentioned this person without a reason; there must be something to it.”

Looking at the worried Wen Nian, he hugged her again. “Don’t worry, there’s already some progress. Once the truth is unveiled, we’ll be able to piece together the entire puzzle. Don’t worry.”

Wen Nian wanted to speak but only managed an affirmative “Mm.” Her heart warmed at Shen Jun’s assurance.

In her two lifetimes, only Shen Jun had given her such warmth.

Wei Xiao, who was drunk, had yet to sober up when he returned home. Wei Feng was so angry that he spat the water in the teacup on his face.

“Grandpa?” Wei Xiao woke up slightly. When he opened his eyes, he saw the angry Wei Feng.

“What time do you think it is? How can you drink when the Wei Family is in deep flames?”

Wei Feng felt like his head was about to explode at the thought of what the Wen family had done in the corporation today. He hadn’t anticipated anyone daring to expose the issue.

He had commissioned an investigation into the IP address responsible for the online posts, but due to the fact that the posts had been made from a disposable phone and had remained inactive thereafter, they had gleaned no useful information. The accounts interacting with those posts seemed legitimate, leading the investigation team to conclude that netizens had engaged with the matter out of sheer curiosity about the drama among wealthy families.

While the investigation had yielded no results, the Wei family remained under scrutiny, its public image tarnished. What infuriated Wei Feng more was the fact that Yang Shu had contacted him as well.

Recalling how Yang Shu had demanded a 10 million yuan payment over the phone, Wei Feng clenched his teeth.

Especially when Yang Shu kept evidence that Wei Feng had poisoned Old Wen, Wei Feng regretted not killing him when he had the chance.

Upon seeing Wei Xiao still unconscious due to intoxication, Wei Feng erupted.. “The family is in chaos, yet you still find time to revel in alcohol?”
