Hong Jie looked completely convinced, as sincere as he could be, making Gu Qiancheng swallow back the harsh words he had prepared. Watching Gu Qiancheng's helpless expression, Hong Jie felt a sense of triumph. Without a good reason, why would I dare to mess with you, the great Minister Gu?
Impressive.
The onlooking Divine Protection members gave thumbs up to Hong Jie, the first to make the Minister speechless.
I bow to no one, but I bow to you.
Seeing the Minister in such an awkward situation, the other Divine Protection members felt relieved. The usually arrogant Minister had a day like this after all.
Gu Qiancheng was filled with hatred. If he could, he would have pulled out a gun and shot Hong Jie on the spot. However, he couldn't argue with what Hong Jie said. He feared no one, why would he fear a mere Xiao Tianyu?
