    Wen Nian and Wen Yu hastily dressed and made their way outside. The noodle shop had already closed for the night. Zhou Mei and Wen Xing had called for a taxi and were waiting for them.


    “Dad, Mom, what’s happened at Uncle’s house? Can you tell us?” Wen Nian inquired urgently.


    Wen Xing’s expression darkened. “Let’s get in the car first. You’ll find out once we get there.”


    Wen Xing and the others had only received a call from their old neighbor, who had informed them that Wen Xun and his wife had been rushed to the hospital. They werepletely in the dark about the details.


    Wen Nian and her family quickly got into the taxi bound for their hometown’s hospital. Upon arrival, they inquired about Wen Xun’s location in the hospital and rushed to his room.<div>

    Outside the emergency room, they found Wen Xun’s neighbors and two police officers.


    “The eldest son of the Wen family is here. He’s Wen Xun’s older brother,” the neighbor informed the police as he spotted Wen Xing and the others approaching.


    “Hello, I’m Wen Xun’s older brother. Can you please tell us what happened to my brother and his wife?” For some reason, Wen Xing suddenly felt a sense of unease.


    The red light above the emergency room was still on, indicating ongoing resuscitation efforts inside.


    The police officer looked at the worried family and sensed their urgency. He then exined, “Wen Xun and his wife attempted suicide by consuming pesticide at their home.”


    “That’s impossible!” Zhou Mei and Wen Yu eximed simultaneously.


    Wen Xun was a good-for-nothing, but even if he was a good-for-nothing, he was definitely afraid of death. Li Ke was even more so. Moreover, these two people were bent on acquiring the Wei Corporation and living a good life in the future.


    Previously, they had even gone to the Wei Corporation from time to time to cause trouble. There was no way these two would let go of their future good days andmit suicide, right?


    The neighbor, however, held a different perspective. He quickly exined, “1 told the police earlier that those two were the ones who recently appeared on television. They went to the Wei Corporation and caused a scene. When they returned, they imed that the Wei Corporation belonged to them and that they were going to enjoy avish life in the city.”


    The neighbor’s aunt chimed in, “Initially, everyone thought they were just boasting and didn’t take it seriously. Butter, 1 heard from my grandson that they were ‘dragged through the mud’ on the inte! Yes, that’s what he said, ‘dragged through the mud’ on the inte.”


    The elderly woman appeared somewhat distressed. “It’s been said that they faced online harassment. What’s more, hundreds of thousands of people were criticizing them. Who could endure such a situation? They must have been under immense pressure!”


    The old man also agreed with his wife’s words. He said to Wen Xing, “Your family doesn’t want the one million yuan. Don’t you know your brother and sister-inw? Those two are greedy for money. They didn’t get the money and were scolded online. The two of us saw that they didn’t go out much these few days and wanted to see if they would take things too hard. Who would have thought that we would see the two of them drinking medicine the moment we entered! You didn’t see it. They were foaming at the mouth…”


    The uncle and auntie spoke with a remarkable candor, as if they were watching the two of themmit suicide.


    It appeared that the police officers were inclined to ept their ount as well. One of the officers remarked, “It’s not out of the realm of possibility. Nowadays, people’s mental states can be very fragile, especially when subjected to online abuse.”


    Wen Xing wanted to inquire further, but at that moment, the door to the resuscitation room swung open.


    He swiftly moved forward and asked, “Doctor, my brother is Wen Xun, and his wife is Li Ke. How are they?”


    The doctor’s somber expression told the story even before he uttered a word. He shook his head and said, “They were discovered toote. Both of them ingested a significant amount of pesticide, and they weren’t brought in promptly… I’m sorry for your loss.”


    Upon hearing those devastating words, Wen Xing’s world seemed to crumble, and he nearly lost his bnce. Thankfully, Wen Yu was there to catch him.


    “The child’s father, you have to hold on. At this time…”


    Zhou Mei began to say, but she was interrupted by a voice from behind. “Everyone, move aside! A girl has fallen into the water. We need to save her immediately. Hurry!”


    Several medical staff members quickly pushed a hospital bed in, followed by some vigers.


    Wen Nian couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity about the person on the bed. It was only when the bed was pushed closer that she could see the person clearly.


    “Wen Yan? Why is it Wen Yan?” Wen Yu’s voice trembled, and his gaze froze as he stared at the bed. Then, he turned to Wen Nian with a look of shock.


    Everything Wen Nian had said wasing true. The Wen family was undeniably in peril.. After what had happened to Wen Xun’s family, who would be the next to face such a grim fate?</font>
