Shen Lang looked at Tian Thirteen since he represented the will of Tian Heng.
Earlier on, when Shen Lang was making the dye, Lin Mo had betrayed him and informed the Xu family. Tian Thirteen must have seen it, but he did not stop them or remind Shen Lang.
Therefore, Shen Lang was facing three huge figures—the Xu family, the Lin family, and Tian Heng from the Black Clothes Gang.
Therefore, the smartest move would be to admit that he had stolen the formula and immediately try to make a comeback so that he could take revenge.
That was because Xu Qianqian had made a promise in front of the officials of Xuanwu City that if Shen Lang admitted his mistake, they would not pursue the matter.
