Tasked with investigating Feng Shixian's death, Chen Ping'an couldn't relax even if he wanted to.
Liu Yuanhua's scheme was an open one. Unless Chen Ping'an was willing to flip the whole table, his only option was to solve the case within the given time limit and let the results speak for themselves. There was no other way out.
But when operating within the system, flipping the table is a last resort—a move made out of desperation. It might look like a show of force, but in reality, it only exposes one's own powerlessness.
As long as he had other options, Chen Ping'an would never resort to such a measure.

For another, while it would certainly be satisfying, his current cultivation in the Profound Light Middle Realm wasn't enough to withstand the backlash.
'If I could just break through to the Profound Light High Realm, perhaps...'
