Shen Wen was stunned. He seemed not to have expected Lin Wanxing to refuse so decisively. He asked, "Why?"
"Young Master Lin, please help me out. I've been in a coma in the hospital for so long, and my head was smashed open, but I can't identify Shen Zhiting. Seeing her still in the Shen family, I'm really scared. Since you've seen it, please help me."
He spoke with such sincerity that he almost shed tears.
"Why should I help you? What does it have to do with me that your head got hit?"
Shen Wen's face, which had been preparing to express his emotions, instantly fell apart. This Lin Wanxing was truly impervious to reason and wouldn't listen to anything he said.
"It's okay, I can find evidence even without your help."
Lin Wanxing glanced at Shen Wen, who had looked pitiful just moments before, but whose expression had immediately changed.
Lin Wanxing said with a smile, "You'd better not tell anyone about Shen Zhiting."
Shen Wen was confused. What was going on with Lin Wanxing? He seemed different today than when he first came to the Shen family.
He doesn't seem so stupid anymore.
"Young Master Lin, do you think I'll listen to you?" Shen Wen didn't take Lin Wanxing seriously at all. If it weren't for Shen Huai'an, this fool wouldn't have a chance to speak.
Lin Wanxing smiled sweetly and said in a cheerful tone, "I know you're an illegitimate child."
Shen Wen's face immediately turned ugly. His pupils shrank and his eyes changed instantly. The identity of being an illegitimate child must never be known to anyone. The Shen family has been hiding it all these years.
Shen Wen has been aware of his identity since childhood: his mother is a mistress who cannot be brought to the light of day, and he was destined to be a mistake from birth.
The old lady was always kept happy by him, which is why she was able to stay in this family smoothly. He can't officially join the group yet; he'll have to wait a little longer, just two more years.
His identity absolutely cannot be exposed at this time; Lin Wanxing doesn't seem to be that stupid.
His voice was as cold as ice, "Young Master Lin, you know a lot, but it doesn't matter, even if you expose it, no one will believe you."
Lin Wanxing rolled her eyes. "I just think that once your status as an illegitimate child is exposed, it will have some impact on you. People outside love to keep an eye on what happens inside wealthy families."
"Gossip media also like to report things that attract attention. Do you think someone will actually find out your identity in the end?"
Shen Wen clenched his fists. Lin Wanxing was right; it would affect him to some extent.
But if he were to be manipulated by a fool, then he wouldn't be Shen Wen. Shen Wen is very shrewd; his smooth sailing in the Shen family wasn't just due to his silver tongue.
Shen Wen immediately realized that Lin Wanxing was suspicious. He was different from the fool he had when he first came in. He was threatening him and helping Shen Zhiting. Could it be that he was planted by Shen Taimin next to Shen Huai'an?
Whether he had other motives or not, Shen Wen was unsure and felt very confused.
Shen Wen calmly said, "So what if it's affected? The Shen family is the best at distorting the truth. We'll clarify things later, and I'll still be the precious young master of the Shen family."
Lin Wanxing said nonchalantly, "I just wanted to remind you that if you want to expose Shen Zhiting, she will definitely reveal your identity as well. It would be a very ugly situation if both of you were to suffer a loss."
"Besides, you don't have any evidence to prove that she pushed you. Even if I act as a witness for you, do you think they would believe the nonsense of an idiot? What if Shen Zhiting jumps out and accuses you of conspiring with her?"
These were things Shen Wen hadn't expected. Indeed, Lin Wanxing's words weren't very convincing, and the eldest branch of the family would definitely stand up for Shen Zhiting if she got into trouble. The old lady was biased to begin with, and if this matter didn't have a result, then everything he had done would have been in vain.
"Since Young Master Lin has come to see me, he must have a plan in mind."
Lin Wanxing thought for a moment and nodded. He said innocently, "Of course I do. I also have a recording of Shen Zhiting saying that she hit you on the head."
Upon hearing that there was a recording, Shen Wen immediately smiled. The recording was irrefutable evidence, and with such conclusive evidence, there was no point in her trying to argue.
Seeing how happy he was, Lin Wanxing's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, "But why should I help you? We have nothing to do with each other."
Shen Wen continued, "How can it not be related? Shen Taimin has been suppressing the second branch of the family. Even the second uncle is going to leave the group. Today they are going to discuss how to force the second uncle to step down."
"Isn't helping me helping you?"
Lin Wanxing looked like she suddenly understood, "Is that so? Then helping you is the same as helping my second brother, right?"
Shen Wen excitedly said, "Young Master Lin is really smart. That makes perfect sense! The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so we are friends."
"What if you turn around and go after my second brother? I know your father and Shen Taimin are in cahoots. They're like brothers and they're working together to get rid of my second brother."
Lin Wanxing slowly stood up. "So I can't help you."
"I'm leaving now, my second brother will be worried if he can't find me." Without hesitation, he started walking out.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shen Wen excitedly called out to him, "Young Master Lin, don't go yet!"
Shen Wen's shout made Lin Wanxing stop in her tracks. "Is there anything else? I have to go. My second brother said I can't stay here too long, or I'll disturb you."
"Young Master Lin, let's get straight to the point. What do you want?"
"Or what do you want us, the third branch of the family, to do?"
Lin Wanxing finally turned around slowly, and asked with a smile, "Do you know Qingyuan Mountain County?"
Shen Wen reacted quickly, "The Chen family's hotel?"
"It's not the Chen family's business; it's the Lin family's business."
Lin Wanxing thought for a moment and said, "But it doesn't matter much. The Fang family wants to invest in Qingyuan Mountain County, and my second brother wants the Fang family to be his partner to jointly complete the new urban area project."
Shen Wen never expected that this fool would know so much. He followed Shen Huai'an around, so how could Shen Huai'an do things behind his back? How did he know everything?
"Young Master Lin, you flatter me too much. I can't control whether those two families cooperate or not."
Lin Wanxing smiled and said, "Goodbye, Xiaowen. I wish you a speedy recovery." After saying that, Lin Wanxing left without looking back.
Shen Huai'an has handed over the new urban area project to Shen Taimin, and he will also withdraw from the group. The old lady was overjoyed.
Shen Taimin didn't expect to get rid of Shen Huai'an so easily, and he also got the new urban area project.
It seems that Shen Huai'an has come to his senses.
