With so many people present, and with Gu Peng still here, if he didn't do something to humiliate Hao Jian and instead let someone slap him, how could he ever show his face around here again?
Not to mention others, Gu Peng would certainly feel he's losing face and wouldn't continue to cover for him. If he lost this support, how could he continue to mix in Yawen?
Of course, these were just some of the factors he needed to consider at that moment. He was furious, completely unprepared for Hao Jian to dare have someone do such a thing. He covered his face, glaring at Hao Jian and at the same time also glaring at Lin Dongyang.
The group of people standing around him saw Lin Dongyang make a move and immediately rushed forward aggressively, surrounding Hao Jian and Lin Dongyang as if ready to teach Hao Jian a lesson. However, just as they were about to make a move, Gu Peng signaled them to stop.
