Shang Che had not expected such a reversal in public opinion regarding his reputation, and for a moment, he found it difficult to suppress the smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
Shang Yang, however, found himself forced to admit that although the crowd’s words were harsh, every syllable struck true. His expression darkened as he picked up the unconscious Li Xiang.
