Lin Ran sank back into his seat, his expression clouded with regret. "That's unfortunate."
Feng Jue countered, "If Smile remains elusive, could there be another culprit?"
Even if this individual didn't intend to take his sister's life, their attempt to harm her couldn't be overlooked.
As for Smile and the enigmatic entity backing him, time was on his side. There would come a reckoning day.
"Indeed! I'll delve into Ye Qingzi's background now."
Lin Ran felt a throbbing headache coming on. If it were merely business rivals from the Wang and Xue families seeking retribution, it'd be manageable. Yet, if the Ye family, one of the Eight Great Clans of the capital, was involved, complications arose.
The might of the Ye Family was undeniable. Even if Ye Qingzi were implicated, they'd likely shield her.
Unless Xiao Yize intervened.
