When Hao Jian hit Liu Jie earlier, it already shocked them because Liu Jie had strong connections, and they didn't know what kind of person Hao Jian was. However, Hao Jian not only hit him but also broke Liu Jie's hand, which was enough to astonish them.
With what followed, despite Liu Jie having nearly ten people on his side, they couldn't do anything against Hao Jian. They were only left to be hit and slapped.
When Gu Peng appeared, they thought it could be a turning point. They believed that once Gu Peng showed up, Hao Jian would definitely be scared and beg for mercy.
However, the result was beyond their expectations. Hao Jian didn't give Gu Peng any face at all. Instead, he gave Liu Jie a good round of slaps. Although those slaps landed on Liu Jie's face, knocking him nearly unconscious, everyone present knew that each slap was hitting Gu Peng's face metaphorically.
