Chapter 281: Turn Yourself In
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A group of people arrived at the police station, and at the entrance, Wen Nian saw Wei Lai, who was crying uncontrollably, along with several members of the Wei family and a group of media.
Wei Laiâs eyes were swollen, and her voice was hoarse. âSir, 1 really didnât know this would have such a big impact. Iâm so young and really donât understand. But my parents said 1 must take responsibility, and I didnât know the consequences would be so severe. Police uncle, Iâve come to turn myself in.â
Wei Lai was crying so hard that she was gasping for breath. After all, she was a minor, and her parents were surely coming to the police station with her. With a group of reporters at the stationâs entrance, the Wei family took the initiative to turn themselves in, making the police hesitant to take any action for fear of negative consequences.
Li Bing also secretly wiped her tears at the side. âOfficer, itâs our fault for not disciplining her well. Since she hired the a group of online commentors to slander others, we have to punish her. Otherwise, she wonât know what she did wrong when she grows up.â
Wei Feng, on the other hand, noticed Wen Nian and her group approaching and hurriedly stepped forward. âWen Nian, 1 am sorry. My granddaughter has caused trouble for you repeatedly. Iâm truly ashamed to see you again. But sheâs just a teenager. Can you give her another chance? 1 beg you, 1 am begging you.â
The reporters initially focused their cameras on Wei Feng and then quickly shifted their attention to Wen Nian, bombarding her with a series of questions.
âWen Nian, whatâs the grudge between you and Wei Lai? Sheâs targeted you multiple times, hasnât she?â
âWei Lai is still a minor. Will you forgive her? If sheâs found guilty, will she be sent to a juvenile detention center? Her life might be ruined forever.â
âThe Wen family and the Wei family have always been on good terms. Are you going to be ruthless?â
Hearing the reportersâ questions, Wen Nian already understood that Wei Feng had brought them to help his granddaughter.
She held Wen Xingâs hand, who was about to flare up, and said to the reporter, âAre the reporters not well-educated? Is that how you use the term âruthlessâ?â
She then looked around at the reporters and continued, âIf this matter hadnât been exposed, 1 would have been arrested on charges of attempted murder. At the very least, 1 would have been imprisoned for three to four years, unable to take the college entrance exam, my life ruined. Even if I were to be released, Iâd struggle to find work due to the false accusations, and my family would suffer.â
âAs the victim, I havenât even asked why someone wanted to be ruthless toward me. Are you all helping the criminal by speaking for them? Can I understand that some of you have been instigated by someone to intentionally defame me? Since weâre at the police station now, letâs deal with this together. Iâve already hired a lawyer, so we will sue you too and let the police investigate.â
Wen Nianâs words left no room for sentiment, and the reporters who had questioned her took a step back.
Wei Feng glared at the reporter. He suddenly felt that things were becoming more and more difficult.
It was true that Wei Lai had sought othersâ help, but Wei Feng had already inquired and realized that these ideas ultimately came from Jiang Chun. However, Wei Lai had no evidence.
After the incident, the Jiang family in the capital contacted him directly. This was also the first time the Jiang family in the capital contacted him since Wei Xiao and Jiang Ningâs engagement was confirmed.
However, this time the contact meant that Wei Lai would bear all the consequences, and the Jiang family would erase all traces of their involvement. Ultimately, this matter boiled down to a jealousy-fueled rivalry between two young girls. Furthermore, Wei Lai was still a minor, so at most, she would receive some education.
Moreover, the Jiang family would assist the Wei family in acquiring a piece of land in the capital, which would be used for constructing a shopping mall for the Wei Group. However, the Jiang familyâs condition was that this matter must not implicate Jiang Chun in any way and should have no connection with the Jiang family.
In the past, Wei Feng might not have allowed the Wei family to suffer such a huge loss, but considering the benefits brought by the Jiang family, he naturally wouldnât miss out on such a lucrative opportunity. However, due to the extensive impact of Wen Nianâs incident, he had no choice but to let Wei Lai bear the burden.
Li Bing gave Wei Lai a firm push, but Wei Lai was reluctant to step forward and apologize. Having to perform this act in front of the media was already embarrassing enough, and she also noticed Shen Jun by Wen Nianâs side.
How could Li Bing not know what her daughter was thinking?
She said resentfully, âYour grandfather will compensate you for what youâve done now. When the Wei family gains a foothold in the capital, youâll be the eldest daughter of the Wei family. Even if you canât marry Shen Jun, are you afraid that there wonât be a better one?â
Wei Lai felt indecisive initially, but after hearing her motherâs words, she suddenly felt that this course of action was reasonable. Moreover, she had taken the blame for Jiang Chun this time. The Jiang family would definitely not mistreat her.
With newfound courage, she walked up to Wen Nian and said, âSister Wen Nian, please forgive me considering my young age.. Iâve turned myself in, so please spare me, okay?â
