Pei Man certainly knew why he suddenly turned pale, to the point where his voice trembled as he spoke.
"I know."
Pei Man nodded and said,
"But rest assured, I won't reveal your identity to anyone."
Su Chen, after all, was no ordinary man; although he initially panicked upon realizing his identity had been exposed, he quickly calmed down.
Pei Man observed his composure and felt a surge of surprise in her heart, her gaze toward him filled with even greater admiration!
This mental fortitude was too strong!
Keep in mind, this was a secret he had hidden for twenty years!
To think that his composure returned in less than a minute after it had been unexpectedly disclosed!
"But after all, you are a member of the Pei Family!"
Su Chen's gaze fixed intently on Pei Man as he spoke.
His words were quite piercing; the underlying message was, your Pei Family cannot absolve itself of involvement!
"I asked Grandpa, and he said that our Pei Family was innocent in that affair."
