"Why wasn't this discovered earlier?" Lin Bei asked coldly.
"I apologize, Mr. Lin, for my ineffectiveness. Previously, we only found out that this matter was related to the local powerful families in Fragrant City, and overlooked many details," Qing Tian said with clasped hands, full of self-reproach.
Lin Bei took a deep breath and asked, "Who else is involved as the murderer?"
"Mr. Lin, our main intelligence forces are still stationed in the Northern Territory. Now that Fragrant City is under Eastern Sovereign's jurisdiction, it's not convenient for us to overextend. However, it is clear that, besides the four major families of Fragrant City, there are also some dark forces involved."
"Eastern Sovereign..." Lin Bei pondered for a few seconds and said, "Let's keep Eastern Sovereign out of this."
"If that's the case, then we can only seek information through other channels," Qing Tian replied.
"Which channels?"
