With Zhang Jingyi unexpectedly speaking up for Xu Feng despite Hans Pang's clear indication of wanting to punish the latter, everyone was shocked.
Hans Pang himself was even more speechless.
As an elder, it was already humiliating enough that a brat like Xu Feng had verbally contested him, but now even Zhang Jingyi joined the fray.
To make things worse, it was beneath him to reprimand Zhang Jingyi's action, especially when she had two doting supporters, namely her father and brother.
Although he was not afraid of the Zhang Group, he was also not willing to offend them for a useless bastard like Hans Zhou. Other than his surname, there was nothing noteworthy about Hans Zhou.
Hans Zhou himself also understood this point. His status when compared to Zhang Jingyi was overwhelmingly huge.
"M-Miss Zhang, let's just forget about this incident. We're all here to celebrate Elder Zhao Gaofu's birthday after all." Hans Zhou said, wanting to defuse the situation.
Never did he expect the situation would escalate to such height when he was merely trying to push the blame on Xu Feng. At the same time, he can't help but despise the person who told him this was their way out.
Although he didn't know who it was, to instruct the Zhao Family security guards to heed their story meant that their identity was definitely not simple.
This was also why he and Lang Shan dared to continue with the false accusation to get away from the punishment from their family for brawling at the venue.
However, if they knew the situation would deteriorate to this outcome, then they would have chosen to be punished from the start.
Meanwhile, Zhang Jingyi didn't bother entertaining Hans Zhou. Instead, she turned her attention to Xu Feng, clearly letting him decide.
As for Hans Pang, he remained silent, mainly because he was starting to find the situation amiss.
A person with no background like Xu Feng, yet somehow got a gold invitation card. It was suspicious to not believe this situation was more than the eyes meet. In fact, he even began to suspect his dumb descendant was being used as a pawn.
Now, not a single person even mentioned Zhao Kai, who was currently being held back by Zhao Xin on the side from his instruction.
"Everyone heard this guard say my status is inferior, right?" Xu Feng turned his attention to the crowd, ignoring the guard. "Then let me ask you this one question. Would you know about it just based on my appearance alone?"
The moment he asked that question, he flexed his suit, and these wealthy people with their high standards instantly knew the suit was a luxury kind.
As they scrutinized Xu Feng further, they realized his demeanor and aura were not a bit lacking at all.
They didn't admit it outright, but their expressions already said it all. They would definitely believe Xu Feng was someone of their stature and not some poor bumpkin. Even Hans Pang kept quiet, his eyes darting back and forth between Xu Feng and Hans Zhou.
When he realized Xu Feng looked more noble than Hans Zhou, he merely snorted lightly.
However, the show didn't end just there as Xu Feng continued with his statement, not caring whether anyone answered his question or not.
"Now I don't want to waste anyone's time anymore. These guards are clearly instructed by someone— someone who has enough status to command them and also know about my identity." Xu Feng dropped the bomb, instantly causing the crowd to turn silent.
What he stated meant that this mess was orchestrated by someone from the Zhao Family, supposedly one with a high status.
Shock filled among the guests, including Hans Pang, who didn't expect the latter to have such courage. Now he didn't feel that humiliated, considering how Xu Feng didn't even plan on giving face to the Zhao Family.
The same goes for Zhang Jingyi, who finally realized Xu Feng's personality was just like that, blunt and straightforward. He didn't mince his words and would speak whatever was on his mind.
"This Feng is really causing a mess for me." Zhao Xin rubbed her temples, feeling a headache.
"How is he causing a mess?" Zhao Kai interjected, feeling Xu Feng was amazing. "He's just trying to catch the piece of shit that was framing us!"
