Shen Jun knew deep down that Zhang Lin wouldn't harm Wen Nian, but he couldn't help feeling anxious when he didn't see her for a brief moment. He decided not to bring up the subject again with Wen Nian. Instead, he asked her, "How did you manage to escape?"
Wen Nian shared the details of her escape with Shen Jun and expressed her disappointment, saying, "I fled because I had a hunch that he would manipulate me to force some unreasonable demand from you. Sadly, I was a little too late. Are you genuinely considering selling the land to him?"
Shen Jun chose not to disclose to Wen Nian that he no longer had to sell the land due to her escape. He harbored concerns that if a similar situation arose in the future, she might once again escape for the sake of money.
