The case's growing complexity boiled down to one critical reason: Lan Peizhi was unwilling to "sacrifice a pawn to save the chariot."

Bear in mind, Pei Zhi had just been released.

Jiang Chen stopped talking and watched the other party take out their phone.

"Auntie Lan, I'm sorry, I just heard from Jin Se."

The voice from the other end conveyed an apology.
