Gu Baijiang took a deep breath and looked straight at Ming Peifeng. "Lord Ming, I have to think of my children and grandchildren. This journey is incredibly dangerous, and I cannot become the sinner of the Gu Family."
Everyone understood the underlying meaning. Even if he gave the location to the Third Prince, it wouldn't solve their current crisis.
The Third Prince was furious at this blatant lack of trust. While he would have loved to get the location of the hidden Silver and wash his hands of the whole affair, he couldn't actually do that. If he did, how could he ever face the subordinates who willingly followed him?
"Are you being stubbornly obstinate, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Baijiang countered, "If you were in my current situation, Lord Ming, what would you do?"
"Naturally, I would..." Ming Peifeng shot Gu Baijiang a resentful glare. The old man was digging a trap for him.
