After all, it's easier to talk between acquaintances. Gu Peng's temperament surely won't let him easily forget this matter and let Hao Jian off the hook. Brother Zhang, Brother Zhu, and Brother Zheng all know Gu Peng. Although they're not particularly close, the three of them wield some influence in front of Gu Peng.
If the three of them asked Gu Peng to resolve this dispute, he'd probably have to comply. People in Jianghu give him some face because of his strong family background, but respect is mutual, so if they give Gu Peng face, he naturally has to reciprocate.
That's how it is. They've already discussed this with the three of them beforehand and gave quite a few benefits, agreeing to settle the matter once they met. But... judging by their tone now, it seems they've changed their minds.
