"What do you think about him daring to show up here so openly?"
"The warrant has been withdrawn?"
"Probably not, it's not something we should worry about."
She used to genuinely consider Tang Xinghuai a friend, only to discover that even his name was a lie.
She treats her friends well without expecting the same treatment in return, but with Tang Xinghuai, it seems she'll never see him again.
She dared not provoke such a person again, otherwise, she would get herself killed sooner or later.
