Seeing this, Ye Chen continued, "The Lin family likely anticipated all this. The reason they chose not to issue a clarification and simply let nature take its course stems from their own principles. In their eyes, the Lin family must bear a certain share of responsibility for Lin Tiannan’s unbridled wrongdoings. Even though they saw right through Wang Jingan’s scheme, they refused to intervene! That is the Lin family for you—far too pedantic! And because Wang Jingan precisely gauged this exact mindset of theirs, he dared to act so openly!"
At the mention of the Lin family's pedantry, Ye Chen could not help but recall the trajectory of their fate in his past life.
After Lin Tiannan's crimes came to light in his previous life, Lin Fengxue did not strictly need to resign to take the blame. Had he exerted some force, the Lin family would not have suffered such a crippling blow. Yet, driven precisely by that "pedantry"—or perhaps what could be called their steadfast adherence to "principle"—they chose to offer his resignation as an atonement, thereby drawing back the curtain on the Lin family's decline!
