“Jiang Chun?” Shen Jun found it hard to believe.

If Jiang Chun had wanted to visit, why hadn’t she informed him beforehand?

Moreover, how did she know that his parents were in Hai City? Could it be that the Jiang family had been monitoring the Shen family’s movements?

“She claimed that she saved you when you were young and that she’s your childhood friend. She learned that your parents were in Hai City and wanted to visit her elders,” Zhao Wu remarked, his tone tinged with sarcasm. “She’s not our daughter-in-law. Does she think she is visiting her parents-in-law?” “Don’t talk nonsense!” Shen Jun snapped at him before asking seriously, “How did she know that my parents were in Hai City? Moreover, she shouldn’t be the one visiting her elders during the New Year, right? She’s just a kid.”

Only then did Zhao Wu give him a look that said, “You’re teachable.” Then, he nodded and said, “That’s the problem.”

“When that girl arrived, she kept asking about you. And asking if you were helping Wen Nian report the incident to the police? While the Shen family’s whereabouts is not a secret, it’s weird how she found out so quickly that we came to the Hai City and about the situation between the Wei Family and the Wen Family…”

Zhao Jiao continued where Zhao Wu left off, stating, “It’s all quite suspicious.”

“If it had been her father, he might possess the skills to extract information from me. However, that young girl is inexperienced,” Zhao Wu commented, raising an eyebrow. “But the younger ones will eventually become even more powerful than us. She’s not an easy character.”

Observing Shen Jun’s furrowed brow, Zhao Jiao nudged Shen Mo with her elbow.

She knew that her son excelled in many aspects, but he was straightforward and extremely loyal. While it was true that Jiang Chun had rescued him in the past, and her aunt had been injured as well, there appeared to be something amiss in this situation. Therefore, the Shen family had always been cautious about the Jiang family’s goodwill.

Furthermore, Zhao Jiao had conducted an investigation. Jiang Chun had been doing well in the school in the capital. It was the Jiang family’s investigation into Shen Jun’s presence in Hai City that had compelled Jiang Chun to transfer to another school promptly. Zhao Jiao could not believe that the Jiang family had no ulterior motives. Nevertheless, she did not want to affect her son’s judgment without concrete evidence.

Following his wife’s cue, Shen Mo added, “The Jiang family assisted the Wei family in obtaining the land and permits. Moreover, the Jiang family also intervened in Wei Xiao’s acquisition of shares. Furthermore, over this period, the Jiang family has acquired numerous shares of the Wei family.”

Shen Mo was simply recounting the facts, but everyone in the room understood that the Jiang family had ulterior motives.

Although the Wei family may not seem like a significant match for the Jiang family in the capital, their series of actions had been too peculiar. It was evident that the Wei Family would soon be led by a new person, and all of this was linked to the Jiang family.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Jun grasped the underlying reasoning behind it and inquired, “So, you suspect the Jiang family’s involvement in this matter?”

Shen Mo affirmed his suspicion, saying, “Wei Xiao has a multitude of attractive women under his employ. He has been dispatched to accompany numerous influential figures in various fields within the capital. It appears that he is already preparing to establish himself there in the future.”

Zhao Jiao, taking her phone, continued, “This girl was formerly your classmate. Huang Yue had been assigned to accompany Director Wu, whom you were planning to handle. When Director Wu encountered difficulties, Wei Xiao seized the opportunity to transfer her to the Human Resources manager under Jiang Wei, who has been of significant help to Wei Xiao.”

The situation was now quite clear. Wei Xiao had utilized his extensive network to fortify his standing within the capital, but he was no longer content with possessing a single piece of land.

Despite Wei Feng’s advanced age, he still had decades to live. Additionally, Wei Xiao had his father and uncle to contend with. Transitioning power from one generation to the next can be an uncertain process. Therefore, Wei Xiao made a preemptive move to target Wei Feng’s vulnerable spots.

Zhao Wu added, “By the way, my men investigated and discovered that Wei Feng just signed the transfer agreement the day before yesterday. All the shares in his possession were shifted to his grandson, Wei Xiao. Additionally, Wei Xiao has been entrusted with the company’s operations in the capital. This includes properties and various assets. In summary, the greatest beneficiary of this arrangement is Wei Xiao.”

Upon sharing this information, all of them lapsed into a contemplative silence. Each of them harbored their own reflections, with no one privy to the thoughts of the others.

Following a lengthy period of introspection, Shen Jun raised his head and posited, “So the Jiang family in the capital is aware of my pursuit of evidence related to Wei Feng’s murder and of your decision to accompany me to Hai City. They believe that your presence is an attempt to aid me in supporting the Wen family. They then revealed this information to Wei Xiao. And that’s why Wei Xiao, risking everything, coerced his father into reporting his grandfather?” When Shen Jun asked this question, he had already confirmed his own guess. This was most likely the truth..
