Who Are You Calling Jin Renfeng?!

Nothing was more embarrassing than being caught red-handed by the very person you were badmouthing behind their back. Perhaps there were many, many other embarrassing things in the world, but at this very moment, for Ximen Chuisha, Shi Tang, and Chi Huo, nothing was more awkward than being snapped back at by Dongfang Qinlan.
