Gu Jinrong's statement sent shockwaves through the room, and Li Changzhi was definitely not the only person affected.
Perhaps Li Changzhi had misunderstood, and taken things to an outrageous extent. Others might have also held some misunderstandings, such as Wa Zicong, who silently went along with the flow, and Chen Jiaming, who had just suggested leaving to avoid conflict.
Not to mention the brothers outside who were anxious and worried for White Flower Snake.
What exactly did Gu Nuan mean by her statement?
What did it mean that Wa Zicong knew something that Chen Jiaming didn't, something that even Wa Zicong intentionally hid? If Wa Zicong had indeed deliberately kept it from Chen Jiaming, how did Gu Nuan come to know about it? Could it be that Gu Nuan had been in contact with Wa Zicong beforehand, and they had colluded?
With these thoughts in mind, it's natural that Chen Jiaming's expression grew unsightly, tinged with dissatisfaction.
