Li Bing had been accompanying Wei Lai to explain everything about turning himself in. Wei Feng had also called Wei Xiao over.
Shen Jun had been guarding the police station. Although he wanted to build connections, he was an elder after all. He didnât want to lower his status like this.
When Wei Xiao got wind of the situation, he was furious, almost letting out a string of curses. He had warned Wei Lai to stay out of this mess, yet she still managed to create this massive disaster.
However, Wei Xiao still felt that it was strange that Wei Feng asked Wei Lai to turn herself in. However, Wei Feng didnât tell him the reason. He only said that it was for the Wei familyâs future development in the capital.
Wei Xiao may not be exceptionally smart, but after struggling in the Wei family for many years, he sensed something unusual. Apart from the Jiang family, no one else could possibly make Wei Feng compromise to this extent!
And as the biggest beneficiary of this matter, he naturally wouldnât reveal the truth.
When he hurriedly arrived at the police station, Wen Nian and Wei Lai had not come out yet. He only saw Shen Jun and a few others sitting in the reception room.
Wei Xiao didnât even greet his family members, he went straight to Shen Junâs side. âShen Jun! How is it going?â
âYou heard about it?â Shen Junâs words were in the form of a question, but the certainty in his tone was apparent to Wei Xiao.
âYes, my grandfather called me. My cousin is at fault, and since sheâs at fault, she should admit it. Thereâs nothing more to say.â Wei Xiaosao said with a righteous demeanor.
Shen Jun was slightly surprised, but he didnât continue the conversation.
In Wei Fengâs eyes, a trace of relief appeared. In any case, Wei Xiao had managed to establish a relationship with Shen Jun.
Although the Wei family had lost Wei Lai this time, they were gaining property in the capital and Shen Junâs connections. No matter how it was calculated, they wouldnât suffer a loss.
When the Wen family members came out, Shen Jun quickly approached. âHow did it go?â
Wen Nian shrugged and then casually glanced at Wei Feng, âWei Lai confessed. 1â11 press charges, and the police have promised to clear my name online. We just have to wait for the trial.â
Wei Feng really didnât expect Wen Nian to be so determined. In his impression, the Wen family members were all kind, at least they would give Wei Lai a chance.
He hurriedly walked over, his eyes filled with tears. âWen Xing, Zhou Mei, can you give Wei Lai a chance? Sheâs just a teenager. If she goes to jail, her life will be ruined.â
But neither of them was moved. They did not even say a word.
Without a doubt, in any location where the Wei family was present, tranquility eluded the Wen family. Wei Laiâs repeated framing of Wen Nian had far surpassed the Wen familyâs threshold for tolerance.
Noticing the quietness of the Wen family, Wei Feng once again brought up the family connection. âIf Wen Sheng was here, heâd also ask for kindness if anything went wrong with Wen Nian. Sheâs his granddaughter, after all. I too want to ask for kindness for my granddaughter, who has let me down.â âGrandpa!â At that moment, Wei Lai had finished speaking as well. At first, she held onto some lingering resentment, but when she witnessed Wei Feng imploring the Wen family on her behalf, a wave of intense frustration washed over Wei Lai.
Wei Lai cried and said, âGrandpa, itâs all my fault for implicating you!â
Wen Nian let out a cold snort as she observed the affectionate scene before her.
Wei Lai stared back at her without flinching. âIâve already admitted my mistakes. Why are you still mocking me? Youâre so cruel. I honestly canât understand what Shen Jun finds appealing about you.â
Hearing her impulsive words, Li Bing hurriedly stepped forward and placed a hand over her mouth. Then, she turned to Wen Nian with an apologetic expression.
Nevertheless, Wen Nian chose to ignore Li Bing and Wei Fengâs beseeching looks. She spoke with a touch of scorn, âHe probably likes that 1 am vicious? Yes, I might be vicious, but it was you who falsely accused me of attempted murder. If I hadnât been strong-willed, 1 could have ended up imprisoned because of your actions, couldnât I?â
âWen Nian, donât talk nonsense. Our Wei family wouldnât do such a thing!â Wei Feng interjected, thinking of Shen Jun standing beside him, and swiftly offered an explanation.
Thinking about her grim fate in her past life, Wen Nianâs eyes welled up with tears. She gazed upward and inquired, âIs that really the case?â
Leaning in once more, she raised her voice for everyone nearby to hear, âWhy is my explanation video being blocked everywhere online? Why were there pre-taken photos of the ancient town? And why did the police officer who confronted me accuse me of attempted murder?â
As the silence hung in the air, even the police officers present held their breaths, afraid to make a sound. It wasnât that they hadnât looked into these matters, but their investigations had hit a dead end.
After glancing around at the crowd, Wen Nian turned to Wei Feng and said, âThere are some things I am not holding you accountable, so you should be
happy about it..â
