For a moment, Nan Xing thought he had misheard. “What's that, you say?”

Tang Jing slowed down the rate she spoke. “Ouyang Qing said that she was going to sue you for harassment and attempted assault.”

Confirming the piece of information he had just learned, Nan Xing broke into a boisterous guffaw. “Has she gone mad? She's the one who drugged me and wanted to bed me. Now, she's going to take me up for harassment? It's blatantly obvious that she's the one who's doing the harassing, yeah?”

Tang Jing, too, laughed along. “Now that you say it, it does sound a little absurd. But were she to really go through with this, it won't bode well for you.”

“If she went ahead and sued me, the police investigation will turn up the truth, as it would become obvious to them what really had happened when they see the video feed.” Nan Xing seemed unconcerned.

“That's what I thought too, and why I tried to talk her out of it. But it seems that she wouldn't listen.”

“Let her sue if she wants to—”

Nan Xing was not finished when he was interrupted by his ringing phone. When he checked the number, he saw that the call was from Nan Chen.

“Sit tight. I have to take this.”

With that, Nan Xing picked up his phone and stepped to the side with it.

“Something up, Chen?”

“Where are you?” Nan Chen asked.

“Out dining with a friend. Why?”

“Come over to the office.”

“Right now?”

“Is right now too late for you?” Nan Chen answered with a question of his own.
