"But Li Fei didn't explicitly say this, merely probing," Are you sure he was from Pengcheng before?"
Sun Mingyuan was taken aback. As a man like him, how could he not understand the skeptical intent behind Li Fei's question? There must be some underlying implications. He thought to himself, Li Fei had just returned from Pengcheng — could that be the reason? Or did Li Fei offend someone in Pengcheng who then directed the spearhead of their agenda at this place? Perhaps that person was indeed targeting Li Fei.
However, this did not make Sun Mingyuan let down his guard. Since he had already decided to go through with the matter, Sun Mingyuan did not intend to retract his actions. Having understood this, Sun Mingyuan immediately nodded, his eyes filled with conviction, wanting to show Li Fei in the most direct way possible that his statement was well-grounded and was not an attempt to simply stir up the situation.
Indeed, these people had unspoken agendas.
