There was no fear on Tang Xiu’s face after Liu Changxi said that. He looked rather unperturbed and calm, and replied without being salty nor limpid, “I really don’t know what you’re talking about, Secretary Liu. But what I’m sure of is that you are threatening me.”
“You can think of it as me threatening you,” said Liu Changxi seriously.
After being silent for a short while, Tang Xiu suddenly let out a smile and said, “You know, I am someone who is very timid, and the thing I fear the most is coming across trouble; however, my strongest point is that I‘m never afraid of facing threats. You may be someone from the Ministry of State Security, but I’m afraid you’ll have to think about the consequences of making trouble for me without any ground. Hehehe… the House of Tang may be weaker than we were in the past, yet a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. You should also understand this fact.”
