They didn't know that Dai Xiongyu had been abducted, but some of them had heard that the Dai family had collected a lot of evidence about the Chang family's illegal deeds.
In addition, many powerful families and forces were involved. Among those influential families that wanted to compete against the Dai family, the Pei family couldn't be ignored.
Therefore, people who knew about it wouldn't be surprised to hear that the Pei family or Pei Jiangchao had abducted Dai Xiongyu.
It could also have been done by other families who placed the blame on the Pei family, but now the police said that Pei Jiangchao was the main suspect, so the other people would believe that he was guilty until there was evidence to prove he was innocent.
Pei Jiangchao was mad at their accusatory looks, but he couldn't argue with them. He had to act as a victim now. Normally, he would be mad when he heard the news.
