Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

In the Wei family's villa, Wei Jianjun held Shen Jiaqi in his arms and said softly, "Jiaqi, our family is facing some difficulties right now. Could you ask your family to use some of your connections to help me?"

Shen Jiaqi said with a reluctant expression, "This matter of yours is really too big. Besides, my family doesn't have many connections in the public security, procuratorate, and judicial system. I really can't help you!"

"Not much doesn't mean there isn't any, right? Your dad is a powerful figure in a lucrative position, and he must have a wide network of connections. Please, for the sake of our long-standing relationship, please help me!"

"There's really no way I can help with this. To be honest, my dad even told me not to get too close to you. Besides, after all these years of our relationship, it's always you taking advantage of me. I haven't gotten anything out of you!"

Wei Jianjun suppressed his anger and forced a smile, saying, "Then what benefits do you want?"

"Give me 40% of your shares in the Le's Group!"

"What? You really dare to make such a fuss? Aren't you afraid this money will bite your hand?" Wei Jianjun's face changed, and he issued a vicious threat.

Shen Jiaqi smiled and said, "What do I have to be afraid of? Give me the money and see if it bites my hand. Besides, these things belong to the Shen family, not just to me!"

"Do you believe I'll spread your photos around and cause a huge scandal?"

"If the photos and videos are leaked, you won't escape responsibility either!"

Wei Jianjun sneered: "Do you think I'm stupid? This matter won't be traced back to me. I'll have someone else upload the photos and videos for me. It won't be traced back to me."

When the police question me, I'll just say that I did take the photos and videos for my own amusement, but my computer was accidentally stolen.

Shen Jiaqi smiled and said nonchalantly, "If this were before I got married, I might have cared about it and worried that I wouldn't be able to get married. But now, what do I care about?"

Besides, I'm not an entertainment star, nor do I work within the system. How much impact can this have on me? I can just let it go and it will pass.

"Once this is all over, aren't you afraid I'll kick you when you're down?"

"If the photos and videos get out, aren't you afraid Cheng Zhiyuan will divorce you?"

Shen Jiaqi looked indifferent and said with a smile, "I'm not a little girl anymore. What's there to be afraid of about divorce? What, do you still want to use those things to control me?"

Perfect, I can even get a share of his assets. It's not like I can't support myself; living alone is actually quite good!

"I can only give you 20% at most, that's already a lot of money!"

"At least 30% of the cost is for helping you build relationships. You know how much risk that involves, and my fees are also substantial. If it doesn't work out, we can just part ways!"

Wei Jianjun gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, then it's settled!"

"Let's get this straight: you'll have to do the dirty work outside yourself. I can help you take risks, but those risks have to be within your tolerance range. You should be clear about that."

Regarding the shares you promised, you need to give me a portion first. Once things start moving forward, you can transfer them to me in installments. After everything is done, you must give me everything that's due, otherwise don't blame me for turning my back on you later.

"Okay, no problem. As long as things can be settled, spending some money is fine. I can earn more money if I lose it!"

A few days later, Shen Jiaqi found Wei Jianjun and said with a serious expression, "Jianjun, this matter is not easy to handle. It is estimated that the other party has been planning this for a long time and has collected a lot of evidence."

If your dad hadn't taken the blame, you probably wouldn't have escaped either. Now, getting your dad out is impossible; we have to sacrifice him to save the game and close the case as quickly as possible!

"Shen Jiaqi, are you planning to double-cross me? Does it really cost this much money just to exonerate me? Let me tell you, I, Wei Jianjun, am not an idiot!" Wei Jianjun's eyes flashed with malice.

Shen Jiaqi was not afraid at all. She met his fierce gaze head-on and said confidently, "Do you think it's easy to get rid of you? Do you know how much it will cost to get rid of you?"

This case is almost airtight; we need to transfer the lead investigator and bring in someone else to handle it.

If you suddenly transfer the person in charge of a major case away, do you think they'll be happy? You have to retain the credit for the case and promote them, otherwise they won't let it go!

Besides, you also have to take care of everyone around you. Do you know how many favors you'll incur?

Wei Jianjun remained silent for a long time, then said sadly, "My dad is so old, we can't let him go in. Can I spend a little more money?"

"You should be content. This is not something that can be solved with money. This case is so big, and there are people watching it. If your family doesn't get away with anything, it will be hard to explain to everyone."

Besides, you have to do some of the swearing yourself; others can only lend a hand!

Also, don't mess with Li Xiaofeng again. You're already in a mess, don't you know how to keep a low profile? Secretary Li thinks highly of him, if you provoke him again, no one can protect you!

"I know. Actually, I didn't provoke him. It's Qin Kai who felt that Li Xiaofeng had taken advantage of him. I was just doing things for Qin Kai!"

"Come on, I know what you're up to. Since you're working for Qin Kai, then get Qin Kai to stand up for you!"

"Alright, I got it. I'll settle the score with that Qin kid sooner or later!" Wei Jianjun's face was full of resentment.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Jiaqi sighed and said, "You should stop now that this matter is over. What's the point of making that kind of dirty money!"

Doing legitimate business doesn't necessarily mean you'll earn less. Look at Li Xiaofeng, he started from scratch, and now all of you stacked up together wouldn't even reach his waist!

Wei Jianjun chuckled and hugged her, saying with a smile, "What, you're reluctant to part with me? Well, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. The bond between us is deeper than the sea!"

"You're such a jerk!" Shen Jiayi said coquettishly as she fell into his arms.

Just as the Wei family's case was about to enter the trial process, Xiaoli jumped off a building. She had obvious bruises on her neck and multiple injuries on her body.

Officer Lin, who was in charge of the case, was promoted and transferred to another district. The case was handed over to someone else.

An autopsy determined that Xiaoli died by suicide. Without the consent of Xiaoli's family, the hospital cremated her body. After a period of uproar by Xiaoli's family, the matter was mediated and a settlement was reached.
