With Yang Shu's death, many plans hit a roadblock. Ultimately, the Wen family chose not to immediately involve the police. Sounding the alarm could play into the hands of their adversaries.
"Nian Nian, it'd be best if you and Shen Jun step back from this investigation," Wen Xing advised with a serious tone. "This matter is beyond what you kids should handle. Lives are at stake."
Zhou Mei nodded in agreement. "I don't wish for much. All I want is for you and your brother to grow up safely and lead peaceful lives. We'll handle the investigation."
Wen Nian was about to retort when Shen Jun said, "Uncle, Auntie, this is a crucial matter. The Wei family's influence in Hai City is formidable. I'll ensure Wen Nian's safety. My uncle will help probe into this. We'll make sure the Wen family doesn't suffer. Just continue running the shop as usual for now. Don't worry about Wen Nian. I'll ensure her safety."
