Pei Zhan unconsciously glanced at the spot where Fu Zhen was standing.
Fu Zhen returned his gaze without a flicker of emotion.
One must admit, He Qunying's reasoning is quite on point. With what he said, regardless of whether Mr. Ning's death actually holds any suspicion, the Ning Family has no choice but to investigate.

The Pei and Liang families lack such ambition, so they haven't deliberately fostered connections outside the capital city. Although it might take a bit longer to investigate, they are not subject to He Qunying's control.
Moreover, Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan are not the kind to be led by the nose. The more others try to manipulate them, the less they are willing to comply.
