Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Upon seeing Wen Nian and Shen Jun’s silence, Wen Yu grew increasingly anxious. “What’s happening? We only just discussed contacting the police yesterday. Why would Uncle Wei call the police now?”

Although Wei Ming had also contacted the police, it was a completely different scenario from when the Wen family was planning to do so. Besides, how had Wei Ming obtained the evidence in the first place?

Wen Xing, who was in the same room as Wen Yu, also rushed over. He had overheard the conversation and had tried to reach Wei Ming earlier, only to find that his phone was turned off.

“Wei Ming’s phone is turned off,” Wen Xing said, bewildered. “Ever since your grandfather passed away, we’ve been in touch less frequently. Perhaps he changed his number?”

Zhou Mei had also come across the news on her phone, leaving her momentarily at a loss. “Should we still contact the police?”

The few of them turned to look at Wen Nian in unison. Wen Nian closed her eyes, her thoughts a jumble. It seemed that her inexplicable heart palpitations had happened for a reason. Something bad really happened.

“Brother, you and the others go ahead and eat. I need to speak with Shen Jun,” Wen Nian directed Wen Yu.

Wen Yu swiftly led his parents out for their meal, leaving Shen Jun and Wen Nian alone in the room.

“This situation is fishy,” Shen Jun remarked. “Wei Xiao’s evidence came from his father, which implies that Wei Ming already possessed proof of Wei Feng’s crime. Why would he suddenly contact the police, especially so close to the new year?”

If Wei Ming were genuinely seeking justice, he would have reported Wei Feng long ago. The fact that he retained the evidence without contacting the authorities suggested he couldn’t bring himself to turn in his own father. After all, Wei Feng was his biological parent. Wei Ming had no logical reason to call the police just before the new year.

“There must be a reason,” Wen Nian affirmed. “Can you find out what’s going on with Wei Feng now?”

Shen Jun nodded and explained, “I’ve already made inquiries. Wei Feng seems to have experienced a sudden cerebral hemorrhage as a result of emotional stress. He’s currently hospitalized.”

“Brain hemorrhage at this time? Quite a coincidence,” Wen Nian responded with a cold edge.

Shen Jun looked at her and asked hesitantly, “When do you plan to call the police?”

He understood that Wen Nian wouldn’t let Wei Feng off easily. Furthermore, who knew whether Wei Ming had gathered enough evidence? If they let Wei Feng escape again, it would put them on the defensive. Convicting him in the future wouldn’t be as straightforward.

Wen Nian pondered for a moment before replying, “My father and I will head to the police station later. We have ample evidence, so there’s no doubt we’ll make the report. In addition, Yang Shu passed away in Hai City, and if we discover any leads related to the Wei family, we could incriminate Wei Feng.” “My uncle’s family has just concluded a funeral. He requested my mother and brother to stay and manage those affairs. Following our contact with the police, 1 want to visit Wen Yan. Perhaps when she wake up, she will provide valuable insights.”

Shen Jun suddenly said, “We can call the Li family.”

“The Li family?” Wen Nian appeared a bit perplexed at first, but as she noted Shen Jun’s grave expression, it became clear. “Did you find clues through what happened to the Li Brothers? What did you uncover?”

Only then did Shen Jun tell Wen Nian the results of Zhao Wu’s investigation. Li Ke’s three brothers didn’t want to leave the car to go to another province, but the convoy had given them a few 50,000 yuan at that time. They said that the trucks were filled with New Year goods. When the time came, the boss would definitely give them red packets, and it wouldn’t delay the three of them from coming back for the New Year.

However, because the goods were in a hurry, they had to be delivered within three days.

This meant that the three brothers had to switch to a different vehicle and had no time to rest. Such conditions increased the likelihood of mishaps, and the truck’s brakes had been tampered with.

“But the matter is still under investigation. However, I believe involving the Li family could be a more effective approach than contacting the police,” Shen Jun spoke in a hushed tone.

Considering the reputation of the Li family’s daughters-in-law and the influential status of Li Ke’s mother in the region, Wen Nian couldn’t help but curl her lips.

Indeed, the authorities had reason to be wary of individuals with complex and unreasonable connections. Furthermore, the deaths of all four children from the Li family had been shrouded in mystery.

Wen Nian informed her family that she intended to report the situation to the police. The room fell into silence.

Wen Xing, on the other hand, managed to locate a pack of cigarettes and started smoking. He hadn’t smoked in years, but his current distress had pushed him to this point.

Ultimately, Wen Xing made the final decision. “Nian Nian, you and Shen Jun will accompany me to contact the police. And I’ll reach out to the Li family..”
