"So it wasn't Prince Feng who ordered it." Gu Shuo sneered.
"How could I, as a prince of a great country, do such a thing?"
"Oh, no~" Gu Shuo's eyes fell on the people who were smashing and looting: "You..."
"Now can you tell me why you want to destroy the port?" Old Prince Feng noticed Gu Shuo's actions and spoke first.
People, you look at me, I look at you...
How to answer this?
They were all from remote villages and had little education, so they didn't understand what the old prince meant for a moment.
The butler rolled his eyes and walked over: "The old prince asked you a question, why didn't you tell me why you destroyed the port?"
"Um...Butler, it's not you..."
"The old prince has paid back the money for you guys destroying the port, so stop dragging him down and answer truthfully whether you destroyed the port because you were dissatisfied with Boss Gu." The butler stared at the people in the front, lowered his head so that no one could see, his eyes almost popping out.
The few people in the front, meeting the murderous gaze and ferocious expression, subconsciously shrank back.
“Yes… yes, yes.”
"Yes, we were dissatisfied with Boss Gu...so we destroyed the port."
"The prince is having a birthday party, but Xianhailou doesn't allow the prince to hold it in the restaurant. It's really infuriating."
"Yes, the prince is a meritorious official of Nanyuan. Gu Shuo earns Nanyuan's money, but he doesn't take the old prince seriously. We don't accept it."
After the first person spoke up, others gradually followed suit.
Later on, everyone understood and started to flatter and express their sincerity.
The butler then stood up with satisfaction: "Your Highness, they have all confessed."
Old Prince Feng was indeed pleased with the boasting. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Shuo: "Boss Gu, you heard everything."
"Ha." Gu Shuo responded with a cold laugh.
Sweet words and an ingratiating appearance.
Being a whore, you still have to pretend to be a saint.
Anyone who is not blind can see it.
He is still immersed in it, what can people say?
"Boss Gu, how can you be so rude to the old prince?"
"Nan Yuan was blind when he signed the contract with you."
"All businessmen are cunning..."
When the people of Nanyuan knew that the old prince had to pay compensation, they became even more protective of him.
Old Prince Feng raised his hands and signaled for silence. "This prince knows your loyalty to Nanyuan. As a member of the royal family, I wouldn't stoop so low as to argue with a mere merchant about what Boss Gu did. Rest assured, I've sent people to collect the money from the port robbery. You may all return home."
At this moment, the people of Dayu City felt that their prince was a god—
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness..."
"Thank you, Your Highness..."
Everyone kowtowed, then stood up, picked up the objects they had smashed on the ground, and left the scene as if they were escaping.
Old Prince Feng managed to regain some face by boasting. After everyone left, he glanced at the crowd and was quite satisfied with the result.
"Boss Gu..."
"Your Highness, there's no need to elaborate. The port of Dayu City is damaged, and ships can't dock. Our aquatic products can't leave for the time being. This is the fault of the people of Nanyuan. Please inform the fish farmers that they won't be able to trade their aquatic products for the next two weeks." Gu Shuo couldn't bear to hear his nonsense. "When the money arrives, just give it to Luo Feng. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."
Old Prince Feng was about to show off when the other party quickly finished speaking and turned away.
He was angry and secretly took note that once the Four Nations Chamber of Commerce was gone, Nanyuan would be gone as a business, and he would see what he could use to be arrogant.
