Old Du looked at his top disciple and wanted to say, "Your teacher is a law professor—why wouldn't you come to me instead?"
"Earlier I just said it's hard to make conclusions without knowing the details, and now you turned around and went straight to Tang Fangjing?"
So, Old Du deliberated over how to say something that wouldn't make his disciple look down on him.
"Hey, Lu Feng, I feel this small matter doesn't necessarily need to trouble Tang Fangjing. Maybe you could consider someone else…"
"Huh?" The eldest disciple turned back, gave Old Du a once-over, and said without hesitation, "Teacher, don't mess around—this is serious business. Junior Sister, let's continue. Do you think Lawyer Tang can be persuaded?"
Don't mess around… Mess around… Old Du instantly felt numb—what do you mean by 'serious business'? Wasn't what I said serious too?
Old Du instantly felt the urge to vent his frustration for ten minutes using one of his alternate social media accounts.
