Si Yao's words exploded like a clap of thunder in everyone's ears.
The people were momentarily stunned.
The angry expressions froze on their faces, replaced by sheer shock.
They stared with wide eyes at Xu Wendong, unable to believe what they were hearing.
Their eyes were full of disbelief, as if time had stopped at this very moment.
"What? He saved us?" Wang Tong's voice trembled, his lips slightly quivering, revealing an incredulous look in his eyes.
Recalling all the hostility he had shown towards Xu Wendong before, a strong sense of guilt surged within him.
He had tried more than once to cause trouble for Xu Wendong, even wanting to put him to death.
But he never dreamed that at a critical moment, Xu Wendong would step forward, disregarding past grievances to save his life.
Zhen Jing also looked completely astonished: "How is this possible? We treated him in such a way before..."
His eyes were filled with confusion.
