However, Xu Hao's one statement had dragged the Patriarch of the Wu Family, Wu Yong, into this.
Wu Yong represented the Wu Family.
If he didn't speak up and release Xin Peixian now, in the eyes of others, he would seem like a man petty enough to quarrel with a mere security guard, a Family Head of a major clan with no magnanimity—a rather embarrassing affair.
But if he did release him, it would inevitably cause Mao Jinxi's discontent.
And at this moment, Mao Jinxi represented the Mao Family; her displeasure signified the dissatisfaction of the entire Mao Family.
At this point, Wu Mengchong spoke up, "Xu Hao, this is an issue between us, why elevate it to our fathers' level?"
Xu Hao indifferently replied, "Now, it's you who want to oppose me. You all these families have banded together, but can you, Wu Mengchong, represent the Wu Family?"
Wu Mengchong instantly dared not speak; his dad, Wu Yong, was here, what could he, Wu Mengchong, even represent!
