350 Unclean Ecstasy (12)_1
Li Weixuan’s stance undoubtedly had a decisive effect.
Although Lanaya was reluctant, she did not argue any further at the time.
Yuan Fang seemed unconcerned as well.
Li Weixuan had hardly any interaction with him before making this statement, indicating that their personal relationship was indeed quite good.
“Professor Lanaya, you will act together with Professor Fu Qian from now on.”
After finishing, Li Weixuan turned to look at Fu Qian, his face showing no emotion.
“Professor Fu, although I personally believe you are innocent, I still hope you can produce sufficient evidence to prove yourself.”
“We will also investigate fully on our side, and if by any chance it turns out that you are indeed involved, the Academy will not shelter anyone.”
“Of course.”
Fu Qian smiled and agreed amiably.
Li Weixuan’s move seemed somewhat partial, but it was a relatively appropriate way to handle the situation.
Not to mention that his own motive for murder was so blatantly fake, on the other hand, the Academy had just issued a hearing statement in the morning.

At this time, without much evidence, it would indeed be awkward to change their mind directly and hand him over to the Night Watchman.
The only risk with the current arrangement was that he might run away, and Lanaya would not be able to stop him.
But in truth, with the strength he had previously demonstrated, if he really wanted to escape with all his might, even if these people joined forces, they might not be able to detain him.
Therefore, rather than being pushed into desperation and taking a private action to prove his innocence, it was better to maintain a higher stance.
And Li Weixuan’s seemingly arbitrary initiative actually helped to share some of the pressure off of Yuan Fang.
Indeed a great buddy, an incredibly tacit understanding!
“No point in delaying, I’ll set off with Lanaya now.”
Fu Qian did not say much, but took his leave from the people in the room directly.
Such crude framing tactics always gave the impression of buying time.
The person who killed Jia Yi seemed to be striving to gain time.
Although it was unclear what he intended to do, acting swiftly was essential.
In the end, amidst Lanaya’s sighs and the attentive gaze of the crowd, the two left together.
“Tell me where we’re going?”
Upon exiting, Lanaya looked at Fu Qian with an irritated face.
“To find two people.”
“What people? Can’t you just stay put in the Academy?”
Lanaya frowned, clearly reluctant.
“I don’t have that much time to waste following you around.”
“Fine, shall I go ask them for advice on my own then?”
…
Lanaya fell silent at Fu Qian’s words.
“Where to?”
After glaring at him fiercely, Lanaya still did not dare to let him go on his own.
“Do you know the old gentleman from yesterday’s banquet?”
Fu Qian asked with a smile.
“I know, Qiao Yanchuan is quite a prominent figure locally, although he’s not a Transcendent.”
Lanaya’s look at Fu Qian became guarded in an instant.
“Don’t cause trouble, even though there was some conflict yesterday, you’ve already scared him good. You’re not thinking of going to demand an explanation, are you?”
“As I just said, how could I possibly be that petty.”
Fu Qian waved his hand.
“I have genuine matters to discuss with Old Master Qiao. Since you know him, that’s perfect. Lead the way, please.”
…
It did not take much time for Fu Qian and Lanaya to arrive at their destination.
On the way there, Lanaya informed him that the old gentleman, Qiao Yanchuan, was nearly seventy years old and was quite an influential figure among the local common folk; this was also why he could afford to hire Transcendent bodyguards.
The only regret was that, so far, not one member of the family was a Transcendent, hence they could not gain access to the upper echelons of society.
At that moment, the Qiao Family mansion was heavily guarded with a security level that was most likely maxed out.
