He hadn't wanted to listen, but Gu Zheng forced him to.
As long as he listened, no matter what happened afterward, the rift between him and the Zhong Family would immediately form, and it would be impossible to erase.
Since Gu Zheng had said it in front of both of them, he wasn't afraid of the matter getting out.
The problem was, if it got out, it would only widen the rift with the Zhong Family!
The Zhong Family could make all sorts of excuses. They could also offer all kinds of consolation afterward, bestowing Treasure Pills and Treasure Medicines.
But with the example of the Great Sun Armor, could anyone really trust the Treasure Pills and Treasure Medicines bestowed by the Zhong Family?
Who could guarantee the Zhong Family wouldn't tamper with them again?
This move of Gu Zheng's was bloodless and didn't physically harm anyone, but it was chilling to the bone!
This was a blatant scheme to sow dissent!
