After hearing Li Rong's words, the head of the Gu family was also displeased. Li Rong was now threatening their subordinates, who were also having a hard time.
Therefore, they would absolutely not easily hand over Gu's subordinates now; that's absolutely impossible, not even for Li Rong.
After the Gu family patriarch finished speaking, he didn't say anything more. He directly led his men and rushed towards Li Rong's men.
Upon seeing the Gu family patriarch's actions, his subordinates instantly rushed towards him. The Gu family's men, in turn, immediately engaged in combat. These Gu family subordinates were incredibly formidable fighters. Although Li Rong's side was far stronger, the Gu family's men held their own, which was perfectly normal, given their superior strength. Their strength was already formidable, and the strength of Gu's subordinates was significantly higher than that of Li's. Furthermore, Gu's subordinates were currently filled with rage and desperately wanted to teach Li's men a lesson. Therefore, the battle was extremely fierce and dangerous. At this moment, the fighting prowess of Gu's subordinates was exceptionally high, and even Li Rong's face showed a grave expression.
He knew that if things continued this way, the fighting strength of Gu family's men would also be affected. It would be unlikely that he could snatch Gu Sang and the others back from them. Even if he could, it would take time, and the casualties among Gu family's men would be extremely heavy. They would all be injured, and the Gu family would suffer significant losses. Therefore, Li Rong absolutely would not allow that to happen. He would not permit it to occur.
Moreover, no matter how strong Gu family's subordinates are, their numbers are ultimately limited. If they are exhausted, the fighting power of Gu family's subordinates will be greatly weakened. At that time, he will have even less chance to take those Gu family's subordinates back. Therefore, Li Rong does not want to see that situation occur. That's why he is now trying to control the outcome of this operation and then carefully consider what he should do.
"Hehe, Patriarch Gu, it seems you still don't intend to give me those treasures! In that case, I won't force you. However, in my eyes, Patriarch Gu's strength is simply insufficient. So, Patriarch Gu, do you think you can still stop my plan? If I'm not mistaken, you'll have no choice but to surrender and hand over those treasures. What do you think, Patriarch Gu?"
Li Rong looked coldly at Gu Sang and said.
Upon hearing Li Rong's words, a flash of anger crossed Gu Sang's face. However, she quickly suppressed her anger and looked at Li Rong, asking in a deep voice, "Li Rong, what are you thinking? Have you forgotten the terms of our previous negotiations?! Now you're saying this? Are you going to go back on your word?!"
Hearing Gu Sang's words, Li Rong couldn't help but let out a wry smile. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Hehe, Gu Sang, you really know how to joke. How could I go back on my word? I wouldn't dare disobey any of Patriarch Gu's orders. I trust Patriarch Gu completely now, so of course I won't go back on my word. However, Patriarch Gu, I sincerely thank you for being willing to help us at this time. But since Patriarch Gu is unwilling to give me those treasures of the Gu family, then of course I'm not willing to fight you head-on! Hehe, I think Patriarch Gu can understand, right?"
Li Rong doesn't want to escalate this matter, so he's chosen to back down. However, this backing down doesn't mean he's compromised. He still has no intention of handing over Gu Sang's subordinates' valuables to Li Rong. This is something Gu Sang doesn't want to see; he certainly doesn't want such a thing to happen.
Hearing Li Rong's words, Gu Sang couldn't help but frown. He knew that Li Rong was very cunning, so he knew that he couldn't get Li Rong to agree. He was very helpless and knew that this time, it was impossible.
However, if Gu's subordinates were simply released back into the wild, they would surely be killed by Li Rong. Gu's subordinates knew this and understood it. Their patriarch was unwilling to see his men killed in this world. He would absolutely not agree to it.
Therefore, the current head of the Gu family also deeply hates Li Rong. Otherwise, under such circumstances, the head of the Gu family would not look at Li Rong with such eyes.
Therefore, the head of the Gu family wished that his subordinates would kill Li Rong as soon as possible.
