Gu Mo wore an awkward yet polite smile, as if trying to brush past the situation with a chuckle, determined to deny it. However, in everyone's eyes, his response was basically, "There's no three hundred taels of silver buried here"—it was definitely true, just that this guy wouldn't admit it.
They certainly wouldn't believe his words and thought he truly knew nothing.
They might even subconsciously fill in the gaps themselves, trying to find reasons or explanations for his unwillingness to admit.
