The plainclothes guard spoke with logic and reason. What he was trying to say was that they did not have to listen to Ren Xiaosu.
Moreover, he really convinced the others as well. Fang Zhi pulled Zhou Yingxue over and said, "I think they're right. We don't actually have to leave at all. If the Qing Consortium attacks, the Wang Consortium's officer can handle them. Everything will be fine since there's absolutely no reason for the Qing Consortium to declare war on the entire Central Plains."
Fang Zhi did not say this to Ren Xiaosu. Instead, he spoke to Zhou Yingxue because Ren Xiaosu was her assistant, so he would definitely have to listen to her.
But when Ren Xiaosu heard that, he could not help but get angry.
If it were really the Qing Consortium coming to attack, it would be fine. He was just afraid that the enemy was not the Qing Consortium!
