Chapter 607
"The implication was that Jing Yan had been deceived."
"Our Jing Family in Donglin City may wield great influence, but as they say, ’the bigger the tree, the more likely it is to catch the wind,’ and there are always some villains who, under the guise of our family’s name, deceive and swindle." Another elder spoke up.
"Yes, of course! However, we can’t blame Miss Yan’er and the elderly man for not knowing better; they are just ordinary people and there are many things they do not fully understand."
"Jing Yan, you’ve been away from Donglin City for a few years without returning, and to encounter such an incident as soon as you returned is indeed no wonder you got angry," Jing Chengye followed with a smile.
Jing Yan furrowed his brow.
Could it be that he had really misunderstood?
Indeed, Jing Yan had seen some thugs committing evil deeds, but he hadn’t actually seen Jing Xi.
If it turned out that he was wrong in his subjective judgment, leading to Jing Xi being wrongfully accused, that would be inappropriate.
"Perhaps! Maybe it’s really someone trying to sully our family’s name," Jing Yan said with some uncertainty.
Hearing this, hearts relaxed in the chests of Jing Chengye and the others.
"However, this still needs to be investigated. If there’s no issue, that would naturally be best," Jing Yan said, shifting his tone, "Summon Jing Xi over. If he truly has not done the evil deeds rumored outside, I will compensate him with some resources."
"Jing Yan, that won’t be necessary, right? Jing Xi already receives plenty of resources in the family. Giving him more would just be wasteful," the Seventh Elder immediately expressed his refusal.
