When Wan Shufang heard what Kong Xuande said, she immediately laughed angrily: "You know whether my daughter-in-law is making excuses or not."

Kong Xuande's face suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"

"Brother Kong, Wan Shufang and her daughter-in-law said this because they suspect us. If you argue with them, it will make us look like we are really guilty." Wen Baicao spoke quickly.

Kong Xuande's face darkened: "They are indeed birds of a feather."

Wan Shufang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you talking about you guys?"

Kong Xuande was choked by these words. His anger was so strong that he wished he could turn it into a volcano and burn Wan Shufang to ashes.

"Don't argue." Wen Baicao saw that the two were about to confront each other, frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows, took a step forward and stood in front of the two.

Kong Xuande was very dissatisfied when he saw his actions, and his face showed a bit of dissatisfaction: "Wen Baicao, don't forget the relationship between us."

"Is this the right time to talk about this?" Wen Baicao's face turned pale. "Kong Xuande, I think you are so angry that you said such ridiculous things."

After he finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Wan Shufang and said earnestly, "I know you have doubts in your heart, but some things really have nothing to do with me. If you keep your eyes on me, you will only be fooled in the end."

Seeing his serious expression, as if Chang Xuewei's action at the moment had caught him off guard, Wan Shufang's heart tightened slightly, and after a moment her face changed and she asked, "Is Chang Xuewei planning to turn the people of Bashu into the living dead?"

Wen Baicao's eyes were moved for a moment: "I don't know, but she did have an imperfect Phoenix Gu, and it was based on this that I helped her."

Kong Xuande's pupils shrank in shock, and he said in a heavy tone: "Yang Caiwei is right next to Chang Xuewei. Chang Xuewei can't do this. After all, Yang Caiwei still wants to use the people of Bashu to make huge profits for herself."

"I thought so before, so I took the initiative to take you away. But when the flute sounded, I didn't dare to think so." Wen Baicao breathed rapidly, as if he had a bad premonition.

Wang Xiaohui and the others looked at each other as if frightened, and finally they all turned their eyes to Wan Shufang.

Being stared at by them, Wan Shufang felt a sense of pressure falling on herself.

"Manager Wen, how do you want to judge this matter? Or do you want to go directly to her?"

All kinds of bad thoughts were turning in her mind. Wan Shufang secretly took a deep breath, suppressed the bad thoughts, and asked Wen Baicao with concern.

"What do you want me to do?" Wen Baicao asked instead of answering.

Wan Shufang stared at him intently. Seeing that his expression was a little obscure, her heart was beating wildly. She said calmly, "I think Yang Caiwei is enough to stop Chang Xuewei, so the sound of the flute may not be what you think."

"But we can't be too absolute. After all, everyone present knows how cruel Chang Xuewei is. And only Mr. Kong knows what decision Yang Caiwei will make in the face of such a situation."

Wan Shufang simply said something and pushed the blame onto Kong Xuande.

Kong Xuande was surprised: "I'm not a worm in Yang Caiwei's stomach, how could I know that she would make such a decision? You think too highly of me."

"Kong Xuande, what is your relationship with Yang Caiwei? I know it very well." Wen Baicao emphasized.

Kong Xuande's face darkened: "Yang Caiwei and I have cooperation, but it is all based on the iron mine. Now the iron mine has not been taken down yet, and Bashu has been attacked. No matter how much she cares about the iron mine, she will only choose to protect herself."

After saying this, he quickly glanced at Wan Shufang and saw that her brows were twisted into knots, as if she didn't believe what he said. She wanted to curse and swear, "I'm not with her at the moment, I can't protect her, and naturally I have no way of knowing what decision she will make."

Pursing his lips, Kong Xuande continued, "In a life-and-death crisis, if it were you, do you think Yang Caiwei would escape on her own and ignore the people of Bashu? She is not the Eighth Prince."

The meaning of his two sentences is very clear, that is, Yang Caiwei cannot do what the Eighth Prince did, so her decision will be related to the life and death of Bashu.

But no one knew what the situation was in Bashu at the moment, and who could say for sure whether she would agree with Chang Xuewei turning the people of Bashu into the living dead?

"Mr. Kong's words make sense. I was negligent." Wan Shufang listened to his words, her mind turned a thousand times, but her face was full of shame.

Wen Baicao looked at her meaningfully, and then emphasized: "It's not that you are negligent, it's that you think everything is my calculation."

Wan Shufang was not embarrassed at all when her thoughts were exposed. She said calmly, "Manager Wen is so good at planning. I admire him."

"Stop flattering me." Kong Xuande said sarcastically, obviously still remembering Wan Shufang's suspicion just now.

Wan Shufang ignored him and only looked at Wen Baicao. She continued, "Chang Xuewei must be fearless if she dares to do this. If we don't want to become living dead, we have no choice but to find her."

Wen Baicao shook his head: "You also have a Phoenix Gu in your hand. The Phoenix Gu given by Xia Feng is extraordinary. I think with it, we will be safe."

Wan Shufang never expected Wen Baicao to say such a thing, and she was stunned for a moment.

After a moment, Wan Shufang confirmed that Wen Baicao was serious. She almost laughed out of anger: "Do you want us to wait here for the results?"

Wang Xiaohui's face changed drastically when she heard this: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Bashu. If they become living dead, how can we survive?"

Wu Qiaoyue heard this and a layer of sadness crept up between her brows: "Manager Wen, do you want us to sit here and wait for death? This is crazy."

They had already learned clearly from Ye Xuan how terrifying the living dead in Luoyang City were.

When Wu Qiaoyue thought of Wen Baicao's terrible idea, she felt a chill running up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her scalp numb.

Bai Lian's expression wasn't much better either. She was a little frightened by Wen Baicao's gloomy look, so she remained silent.

Wang Xiaohui said angrily, "You are such a bad old man, Mr. Kong, you can't listen to him! Otherwise, we will all die here today."

When Kong Xuande learned of Wen Baicao's decision, he was shocked, but then he thought it would be good for him, so he acquiesced.

As soon as Wang Xiaohui said this, he said unhappily, "Wan Shufang has the Phoenix Gu, so we should stay here and nothing will happen. This is a great thing. Why are you so worried? You can't be trying to see how scary the living dead are."

"Kong Xuande, you are really an expert at doing things that hurt others and don't benefit yourself!" Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang looked at this with a helpless look on her face.
