Upon hearing these words, the color drained from Sun Family's face, and she exclaimed, "Sir, he is deliberately opposing you because he doesn't respect you!"
"Sir, if you don't believe me, you can ask the others present." Tong Tiehu continued.
"Other people? They are your villagers, naturally they'd listen to you." Cen Hong coldly huffed.
Upon hearing this, Tong Tiehu maintained his composure, "Sir Cen, such accusations are too heavy for someone as insignificant as me to bear."
"Too heavy to bear? I see that you are, in essence, disrespecting me, looking to humiliate me." Cen Hong snorted and lashed his horsewhip towards Tong Tiehu!
"Grandfather!" Tong Sanrang gasped, moving as fast as lightning, he dashed forward and with a hair's breadth, grabbed Tong Tiehu by the arm and pulled him out of the whip's reach.
