The City Lord stepped forward to clarify on behalf of the Zhan Family.
The news of the Zhan Family's second young master being critically ill was not false either. At a time like this, it's unlikely that the Zhan Family would have the mindset to loot the entire city. Importantly, the Zhan Family doesn't have this capability; even if they did, they wouldn't have spent half a year being led around by the Song Family and others, almost to the point of closing down the commerce.
The excuse was good, and the reasons were sufficient.
Old Master Song wanted to say something, but faced with the warning look from Lord City Lord, felt unwilling yet held back. He obviously did not expect, the City Lord who had always been on good terms with the Song Family, to not stand by them this time, even clearing the Hailan Commerce of suspicion.
A group of people who had come to cause trouble had to leave dejectedly.
