Chapter 401 A List

Music-themed barbecue skewers.

Wang Jun and Shen Feiyang have been drinking for more than two hours.

They drank for a long time, but didn't actually drink that much beer.

The two mainly chatted casually.

In Shen Feiyang's memory, Wang Jun was not a very talkative person.

To avoid an awkward silence, he first poured his heart out to Wang Jun about his own experiences.

When talking about how he offended clients because of his messy relationships with women, I finally found common ground with Wang Jun.

Unlike Shen Feiyang, Wang Jun is essentially a more restrained person.

Although he did some shady things behind the scenes after becoming a well-known lawyer.

However, no industry can be simply black and white.

He didn't think Shen Feiyang had done anything particularly wrong.

"So you left Country A, went to Island W, and joined Jiang Ning's forces?"

Shen Feiyang was not surprised to hear Jiang Ning's name from Wang Jun.

He had no intention of hiding it.

"That's right! If Jiang Ning hadn't taken me in, my life would probably be over."

"So, in order to repay her, you deliberately asked me out to try and extract information from me?"

Upon hearing Wang Jun's words, Shen Feiyang scratched the back of his head and said with a wry smile, "You're being too blunt, aren't you?"

Wang Jun smiled as well.

"Just as Jiang Ning was kind to you, the Lin family was kind to me back then... I will never betray the Lin family."

Seeing Wang Jun speaking so seriously and confidently, Shen Feiyang wasn't in a hurry. He smiled, raised his beer bottle, and clinked it against Wang Jun's.

"Why are you being so serious? Come on, let's drink."

Seeing that Shen Feiyang didn't respond, Wang Jun also joined in the drinking.

He shouldn't have come tonight.

Putting aside the fact that he has a mountain of work to do, given his and Shen Feiyang's identities, he shouldn't have come.

Lin Wanrong harbored extremely strong jealousy and hostility towards Jiang Ning.

Two years ago, upon hearing that Jiang Ning had died in a plane crash, Lin Wanrong was so happy that she asked her assistant to buy firecrackers and set them off downstairs at the company for a whole day.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning was not dead.

Not only did he not die, he is now in the imperial city of Country C.

Jiang Ning did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts. Lin Wanrong sensed that Jiang Ning seemed to have doubts about Lin Jingcheng's death and was probably trying to gather evidence.

While Jiang Ning was investigating Lin Wanrong, Lin Wanrong was also investigating Jiang Ning.

As a lawyer who colluded with Lin Wanrong and shared her secrets, Wang Jun naturally knew about the relationship between Shen Feiyang and Jiang Ning long ago.

He also guessed that Shen Feiyang's invitation to go out for drinks was definitely not for the sake of the drinks themselves.

However, he has been extremely tired and under a lot of pressure lately.

He had originally planned to go out for a drink to relax, and Shen Feiyang just happened to be there.

The two drank several more bottles. Wang Jun wasn't drunk, but Shen Feiyang was a little tipsy.

"Let me tell you, Wang Jun... don't think you're the only one under pressure... I'm under pressure too!"

"..."

"You think Jiang Ning is easy to please?!"

"Shen Feiyang, you've had too much to drink."

"I didn't..."

Shen Feiyang pushed Wang Jun's hand away.

"That Jiang Ning is so pretentious. She clearly can't let go of Lu Junyan, but she insists on asking me to help her put on some kind of act..."

Wang Jun listened to Shen Feiyang's words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He felt that Shen Feiyang was truly drunk.

"However! Jiang Ning may be a bit pretentious, but she runs her company quite well and is a very nice person... You should have investigated her, right? She's been doing charity work on W Island, sponsoring several orphanages!"

"Um……"

Wang Jun nodded.

Compared to Lin Wanrong, Jiang Ning is indeed a very outstanding entrepreneur, and also a very conscientious one.

When his conscience was mentioned, Wang Jun felt a dull ache in his chest.

He's a heartless person.

"The reason I asked you out this time was indeed on Jiang Ning's orders... But we're old classmates and haven't seen each other in a long time. I wanted to have a drink with you to relax. Working as a lawyer is really stressful..."

Listening to Shen Feiyang's endless complaints, Wang Jun couldn't help but ask:

"So what does Jiang Ning want you to find out from me?"

"Oh, that's not important, let me tell you first... that client of mine in City A... she was the one who took the initiative..."

Wang Jun couldn't help but rub his forehead.

He had absolutely no interest in Shen Feiyang's messy romantic relationships.

However, it's clear that Shen Feiyang is under a lot of pressure working as a lawyer in Jiangning. Perhaps he's been on W Island for so long that he doesn't have many friends. He's been chatting away with great enthusiasm, talking non-stop and spitting as he speaks.

After talking for almost an hour, Shen Feiyang's thought process seemed to have finally been straightened out.

"Oh, right, what did you ask me again? Jiang Ning, right... I almost forgot... she made me... made me..."

Shen Feiyang squinted his drunken eyes and tapped his head, seemingly forgetting what Jiang Ning had told him.

Wang Jun sighed helplessly.

"Oh, I remember now, she asked you to ask if you could make a list for her."

"A list?" Wang Jun immediately became alert. "What list?"

Shen Feiyang remained nonchalant, gulping down another half bottle of beer.

"Which employees from your Lin family... were dismissed, demoted, or whose related companies went bankrupt? Jiang Ning wants a list."

"What?"

Wang Jun was stunned by Shen Feiyang's words.

What does she need these for?

"It seems... Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan are going to set up a new company in Country C to take in the employees affected by the Lin family's turmoil! Hmm, that should be it..."

Shen Feiyang spoke casually, and after finishing, he started drinking by himself and cheering for the resident singer.

Wang Jun stood to the side, his face slightly somber, biting his lower lip as if he were struggling with something.

"This doesn't actually affect your daily work. If you have time, please help tidy it up, even if it's just because I'm treating you to this drink."

As Shen Feiyang spoke, he casually patted Wang Jun on the shoulder.

Wang Jun neither agreed nor disagreed.

The two drank until the wee hours of the morning. Shen Feiyang was swaying and had to be helped out of the music bar by Wang Jun.

"I've called a designated driver. Be careful on your way home!"

Before getting into the car, Shen Feiyang reminded Wang Jun again: "...I'll be waiting for your good news then."

Wang Jun remained standing at the entrance of the music bar until Shen Feiyang's car left.

"I never agreed to give you the list..."

He muttered to himself, thinking: My workload has increased again.

The designated driver took Shen Feiyang's car to the hotel.

He can only stay in a hotel temporarily during this period.

Lu Junyan's apartment was big enough with many rooms, but Shen Feiyang knew perfectly well that there was no place for him there.

Back in his hotel room, he called Jiang Ning.

Soon, Jiang Ning's voice came through the receiver:

"How about it?"

"Following your instructions, I pretended to be drunk and then started by recounting a bunch of my romantic history... I felt that Wang Jun's vigilance towards me had indeed decreased. He didn't directly agree to the list, but I guess... he'll contact me again in a couple of days."
