Shao Yunduan sneered back. "That family is despicable, and I'm not defending them. They deserve the consequences! Cousin, watch your words. What have you learned from those books? Becoming an officer doesn't mean breaking the law. Are you trying to turn Officer Qiao into one?"
Shao Liulang erupted in anger. "Don't act so righteous! Governmental offices are always like this! Even you might not behave well if you become an officer in the future."
"Don't worry about that. I won't engage in anything against the law."
Shao Liulang sneered in frustration and stormed off.
Ms. Ma hurriedly followed. "Liulang, why are you leaving?"
Shao Liulang gritted his teeth. "Shao Yunduan is heartless! No matter what we say, he won't help us. He's a hypocrite! I doubt he'll remain so innocent and fair when he becomes an officer in the future. He's just looking for an excuse to push us away."
