Chapter 579 Issuing A Warning

“Ms. Ouyang, your first reaction wasn’t to lodge a police report and seek help or have people search the river for Nan Xing. Instead, it was to phone Mr. Ouyang. Why was that so? Could it be that he’s a police officer or God himself that he knew whether Nan Xing was alive and so decided solemnly not to lodge a police report in consideration of the Nan family’s interests? If that’s really the case, then I indeed have to offer my compliments. Do forgive my ignorance,” Nan Chen scoffed.

“I didn’t phone my father as I was afraid that he’d be angry after learning about the matter. He didn’t know anything at all!” Ouyang Qing knew that she had fallen into the man’s trap.

Argh! I was already exceedingly careful, but he still managed to trap me!

“Exactly! I didn’t know anything at all! I only knew about the matter today,” Ouyang Duo hurriedly seconded.

“Oh, I see. Then, what did you do after those ruffians left, Ms. Ouyang? Why didn’t you phone me or anyone else related to Nan Xing to seek help? Or did you forget all about him having been thrown into the river?” Nan Chen continued pressing.

“I…” Ouyang Qing stammered, words eluding her.

“All right, let’s call it a day here and not talk about this matter anymore. Grandpa, I’m hungry. When are we eating?” Nan Chen abruptly called a halt to that conversation.

“Soon, soon. I’m also rather famished. It’s indeed time to eat after having chatted for such a long time,” Nan Zhengde responded.

Meanwhile, Nan Xing was mystified. Huh? He already managed to get her to the point that she was speechless, so why did he suddenly stop instead of striking while the hammer was hot?

“Old Master, we came today to pay you a visit in conjunction with Lunar New Year. We’re going back to Pearl City tomorrow. There are still a few friends I’m planning to visit, so please excuse us.” Ouyang Duo got to his feet.

“The food is almost ready. Why are you leaving out of the blue now?” Nan Zhengde deliberately inquired.

“I’ve got to visit a few other friends. Otherwise, it’ll seem as though I’m playing favorites. See you again next year.” Ouyang Duo insisted on leaving.

“All right, then. Go and see Mr. Ouyang out, Chen.”

“Sure!” Nan Chen assented.
