With that, Wen Nian grabbed Zhou Mei and Wen Xing’s hands and left the police station.

After bidding farewell to the lawyer at the entrance of the police station, Wen Nian did not go home with her parents.

Zhou Mei felt a bit concerned. She gently held onto Wen Nian’s hand and spoke, “Come back home with Mom. Mrs. Li and I already requested a leave for you. I understand you must be feeling really unwell.”

Wen Xing also nodded beside them. He had been the last to find out that his daughter had been bullied. In that moment, he was already placing the blame on himself.

However, Wen Nian smiled and shook her head. “I’ve already been delayed by them for so long. I have to work on today’s practice papers. Moreover, the matter has been resolved. 1 feel fine. Don’t worry.”

In the end, they couldn’t convince Wen Nian otherwise, and they had no choice but to agree to let her go back to school. Naturally, Shen Jun became the escort.

Shen Gang’s car was already waiting at the entrance of the police station. He first dropped off Wen Xing and Zhou Mei before sending Wen Nian off.

However, Shen Jun directed Shen Gang to drive back to Xifeng Court. Seeing that Wen Nian didn’t object, Shen Gang started the car.

While they were on their way there, Wen Nian stared out of the window without saying a word. Shen Jun held her hand, but she didn’t react.

It wasn’t until they arrived at Shen Jun’s residence that he spoke up, “You haven’t eaten anything all night. Should I order something for you to eat?”

Wen Nian shook her head. Then, in a soft voice, she said, “Thank you, Shen Jun.”

Shen Jun gently enveloped her in his embrace, his heart going out to this young girl. If it had been an ordinary girl, she would have likely been paralyzed with fear.

However, from the moment the incident happened to her composed response, she appeared at ease, though he knew she must have been under considerable psychological pressure.

“Wen Nian,” Shen Jun’s voice was slightly rough, “you can rely on me. I have the ability to help you. Trust me.”

Feeling the slight trembling in her body, Shen Jun exerted a little strength in his arms and hugged her even tighter.

After a while, Wen Nian managed to steady her emotions and said, “Shen Jun, can I skip doing the exercises today? I’m really exhausted.”

“Sure,” Shen Jun slightly loosened his embrace, “I’ll compile the questions that you often get wrong tomorrow. You just need to work on those key questions.”

Upon hearing his words, Wen Nian relaxed a bit and even managed a smile, “You’re truly a responsible teacher, not letting anyone rest for even a day.”

Seeing her finally lighten up a bit, Shen Jun inquired, “Is the situation settled with Wei Lai?”

He had looked into it as well; the online videos and comments against Jiang Chun had been deleted by platform administrators, suggesting that the Jiang family was involved.

While he understood that the Jiang family was protecting Jiang Chun, considering the impact it had on Wen Nian, he wasn’t planning to leave it unresolved.

Wen Nian thought for a moment before sharing her thoughts, “You’ve surely asked your uncle for help, right? But even the video clearing my name wasn’t released immediately. It indicates the other side’s influence is powerful, capable of rivaling your uncle’s connections. That’s not something the Wei family can easily achieve.”

Shen Jun nodded in agreement. He understood that no matter how influential the Wei family might be, many websites would likely give consideration to Zhao Wu’s reputation. After all, Zhao Wu had already come to Wen Nian’s aid once before. A prudent individual wouldn’t risk offending Zhao Wu and tarnishing Wen Nian’s reputation. Such interference likely came from a powerful family.

Observing Shen Jun’s understanding expression, Wen Nian sensed that he had a clear grasp of who was behind all of this.

Wen Nian sighed inwardly. There were certain things that couldn’t be explained step by step to her boyfriend. He wouldn’t fully believe it until he experienced it himself.

“In order to get Wei Lai to confess, the other party must have substantial backing. Furthermore, the various websites are apprehensive. Even if we keep investigating, who knows when we’ll achieve results? And even if we do, what difference will it make? The opposing party can easily claim technical glitches prevented the video from being uploaded, or they could pin the blame on a few scapegoats.”

Observing that Shen Jun’s expression was growing darker, Wen Nian pressed on, “Let’s press charges against Wei Lai first. Afterward, we can continue gathering evidence against Wei Feng for my grandfather’s death. We can’t rush through these matters. I understand.

Shen Jun moved his lips, but no words came out. There were certain matters he needed to confirm.

Wen Nian excused herself to the bathroom. She needed a moment to relax and collect her thoughts. Now that she had openly severed ties with the Wei family, the task of finding evidence would become even more challenging.

Meanwhile, as Shen Jun was researching online, he was suddenly interrupted by a phone call. Glancing at the caller ID on his phone, he couldn’t help but feel a throbbing headache..
