Zong Jingyang certainly did not want Mo Hen to die. The moment Mo Hen died, all attention would naturally focus on the Zong Family. Jun Chen was openly splashing dirty water on the Zong Family in front of everyone, pinning Mo Hen's death on them. His clear intention was to drive a wedge between the Mo Family and the Zong Family, using a "blood feud" to keep them at odds with each other...
Even if Mo Hen hadn't died, another excuse would have been found to suppress the Zong and Mo families; that was inevitable. Therefore, facing the accusations hurled by Jun Chen, Zong Jingyang offered no rebuttal!
If the Five Great Families had left Dongli Island early on and completely severed ties with Huaxia, they could have researched whatever they pleased without consequence. But since they were already within Huaxia's borders, having broken the law and committed numerous crimes, there had to be an accounting. Fleeing abroad didn't mean the matter was simply over.
