Chapter 308: Document Obtained

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Xiao’s hand trembled as he held the document. He flipped through it page by page.

He had assumed that Wei Ming had already looked into the entire situation, but he was taken aback by the thoroughness of the investigation. To his astonishment, even Wen Sheng’s medical report had been included in the findings. What’s more, given the age of the document, it was apparent that Wei Ming must have been aware of this information for quite some time.

Wei Xiao wanted to speak a few times, but he was too shocked and excited. His entire body couldn’t help but tremble.

To Wei Ming,it appeared as though Wei Xiao was grappling with the inability to accept his grandfather’s true nature. Reflecting on the emotions Wei Xiao must have experienced upon uncovering this truth, Wei Ming’s grip on Wei Xiao’s shoulder tightened slightly. It had been quite a while since he had shared such an intimate moment with his son.

“Wei Xiao, you, you…” Wei Ming’s voice quivered as he took a series of deep breaths, his attempt to regain control over his emotions evident. “I’ve kept this hidden from everyone. This matter is ultimately a wrongdoing by the Wei family against the Wen family. However, he is still my father, your grandfather. In good conscience, 1 can’t involve the police.”

For many years, Wei Ming had been unwilling to go out because he could not face his best friend.

Every time he thought of Wen Sheng’s kindness to him and Wen Xing’s bright smile, a sense of shame washed over him. The resentment from the act of killing someone’s father would forever remain irreparable, yet Wei Ming couldn’t send Wei Feng to prison.

“Wei Xiao, I know I’ve never been a good father, and I’m not a qualified son. I can’t even be considered Wen Xing’s good friend.”

Wei Ming’s voice grew increasingly strained. “But the Wen family is innocent. Regardless of whether you and Wen Nian are engaged or not, if you truly want to protect her, I hope you can try your best. You can negotiate with your grandfather, but ensure that these documents remain hidden from outsiders, do you understand?”

Looking at the materials in his hand, Wei Xiao was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. He only nodded heavily.

Wei Xiao jogged back to his room. His heart was beating uncontrollably, and the smile on his face was getting wider and wider.

In the past, the evidence in his hands only proved that Wei Feng and Yang Shu had some unfathomable secrets. Even with the gold bars, it was not substantial evidence. However, Wei Ming’s investigation was reasonable. Whoever possessed this evidence wielded a potential leverage against Wei Feng.

Nonetheless, Wei Xiao was in no rush. He had to consider this matter at length. It was imperative to secure the acquisition of the land in the capital without complications. Once he completed his final year of high school, he would leave to attend university in the capital. When that moment arrived, both the Wei family and him would relocate to the capital. That would be his battlefield.

Yang Shu’s death was very strange. The other party’s actions were not watertight. With Zhao Wu’s interference, they still found some clues. The suspect had locked onto two fugitives.

“Both of these individuals are wanted criminals from different provinces. They bear the weight of human lives on their shoulders, likely arriving in Hai City to earn some funds before making an escape. Unfortunately, I don’t know which province they are in now. The police are actively pursuing them as well. It’s expected to be a time-consuming task to locate them,” came Zhao Wu’s voice through the phone.

“Do you want me to send someone to protect you and your little girlfriend? Why don’t the two of you eat and live together? Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance.”

Hearing that Zhao Wu still had the mood to joke, Shen Jun couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Sister Bai Ling has been quite kind to you lately, and you’re still in the mood for jokes?”

Zhao Wu scratched his nose sheepishly. Then, his gaze shifted to Bai Ling, who was engrossed in playing with the cat by the side. The last time he had gone out for socializing, the female secretary of the other party had made persistent efforts to get close to him. Coincidentally, Bai Ling happened to witness this encounter, and she had subsequently ignored him for over a week.

Thankfully, under the pretense of “adopting a stray cat,” he managed to persuade Bai Ling to come over and assist in taking care of the kitten. He also convinced Bai Ling to stay for a while.

Observing Bai Ling lifting the cat and sniffing it once more, Zhao Wu’s mood considerably lifted. “I’m only considering your well-being, you know. I offered you an opportunity, but you turned it down. Hmph.”

Contemplating the fact that Zhao Jiao would call him every other day to inquire about Wen Nian, Zhao Wu felt a headache looming. His sister was proficient in many areas, yet she had a tendency to insert herself into situations unnecessarily.

He ventured cautiously, “On another note, are you certain that you don’t require assistance from the Shen family regarding this issue? Aren’t you planning to inform your mother? I’ve heard rumors that the Wei family is poised to expand their ventures in the capital.”

“No need,” Shen Jun replied firmly, declining the offer. He added a reminder, “And don’t inform her either. That’s all.”

As the phone emitted a beep, Zhao Wu’s lips formed a slight pout. One of them had a penchant for drama, while the other was putting on a show of depth. Regrettably, he found himself caught in the middle, busy with both situations.

After ending the call, Zhao Wu noticed Bai Ling’s smile as she held the cat and turned around. Zhao Wu leaned over pitifully. “You are so kind, aren’t you? Just look at how skillfully you’re taking care of the kitten.”

“Heh.” Bai Ling sneered and said, “Yeah. How can a ragdoll cat that costs a few thousand yuan be anything but excellent? This ragdoll cat practically wandered right up to the doorstep of Deputy Secretary General Zhao. It’s only right that 1 take exceptional care of it, don’t you agree?”

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at him and carried the cat to the living room.

Zhao Wu touched his nose awkwardly. He was really ostracized everywhere..
