Slap!
With a swift and sharp movement of Wang Chen's hand, the crisp sound of a slap suddenly echoed through the spacious hall.
Almost at that moment, the atmosphere in the entire room subtly shifted.
Surrounding merchants, Li, and Tong Lei all turned their gaze towards Wang Chen and Wang Ye.
Under such verbal humiliation from Wang Ye, a rebuttal from Wang Chen was to be expected.
However, the slap he resoundingly delivered was beyond everyone's expectations.
Because in the eyes of the merchants and Li, Wang Chen appeared to be a simple and honest man, and more importantly, he was a poor kid from the countryside.
In their understanding, country folk often carried an inferiority complex when facing city dwellers.
And someone like Wang Chen, who seemed so honest, probably wouldn't even dare to raise his voice in retort, let alone retaliate physically in such a situation.
Yet now, Wang Chen's actions had completely overturned their preconceptions of country people!
