“Junior Qiao, there is no need to ask him. I know who he is. He is indeed from the journalism faculty. He is his third year like you. He is from the capital. His dad is a deputy editor in the news agency.”

  Xu Shengnan knew all the details about the male student.

  Xu Shengnan knew that with this information, there was no way the student could run away. Qiao Nan would have a way to find out everything about him, including his family and ancestors.

  “Alright.” Now that Qiao Nan knew who the student was, she took the camera from Xu Shengnan. She flipped open the lid to reveal the film and took out the film so that it would be exposed and the photos would be useless.

  Qiao Nan was especially thankful that it was in the early 2000s and everyone used cameras with film. In ten years, people took photos with cell phones, and the photos were of high quality and of high definition. Once they had access to the internet, they would be able to send the photos to all over the world. Even if she wanted to delete the photos from the phone, she could not do anything as it was already sent through the network.

  After exposing the film, Qiao Nan returned the camera to the other party politely. “This is your private property. I will not invite trouble for myself. Now that everyone is present, you must keep it well. If it is spoiled in the future, you cannot blame it on me. As for the photos that were taken today, I shall see you in court.”

  Qiao Nan had no wish to waste her time on him anymore.

  Everyone could tell that Qiao Nan seemed very serious about suing the student. She was not threatening him.

  Many of them did not have their meals but crowded around to talk about Qiao Nan who made a mountain out of a molehill. It was simply a few photos. Did she have to go to this extent?

  But then again, the student from the journalism faculty must be out of his mind.

  \r \r \r

  Most of the students could not wait to suck up to Qiao Nan. Who would be so foolish to offend her at this time? It seemed that this was not the first time that he took photos of her secretly. Why did he choose to offend Qiao Nan out of so many other people? Qiao Nan had powerful relatives and a strong backing.

  He was courting death.

  Xu Shengnan gave the male student a sympathetic look. “Junior, you have invited huge trouble for your family. Since we are alumnus, let me remind you. You have better inform your parents so that they will not be caught off-guard when trouble knocks on their door.”

  Xu Shengnan was not foolish. Although Qiao Nan did not reveal much, she could make the connections.

  This was not the first time that the male student took photos of Qiao Nan secretly, and he used the photos for other purposes. Qiao Nan’s in-laws held a high position in the government. Xu Shengnan could not help but think of the possible conspiracy. They were just ordinary citizens. They could not afford to be embroiled into the power struggle between the higher-ups.

  The male student was too audacious and daring to provoke Qiao Nan. He was courting death indeed.

  After advising the male student, Xu Shengnan had to go back to work. There was half an hour left before she needed to get back to work in the afternoon. Her boss only allowed her to take the morning off. If she could not get back to the office within half an hour, her boss would take it that she had taken leave for the entire day. In that case, she would be shortchanged.

  Xu Shengnan bade farewell to Qiao Nan and left, not casting another glance at the student from the journalism faculty.

  The student felt guilty and scared, but at the same time, he did not believe that this would happen to him. “Hmmph, one was better at bluffing than the other. Fine, go ahead and sue me. I will be waiting. I shall see how you are going to sue me and what you can do to me!” The student adjusted his collar that Xu Shengnan grabbed previously. He put on a false front, pretending that he was calm. After showing that he was in control, he took his camera and left.

  He was not in a hurry to make a phone call to his parents. He was hired by someone else to take the photos.

  Now that this had happened, the person who hired him had to take responsibility for it and settle it for him. Otherwise, how could he work for him again without any worry?

  Peng Yu did not expect that the student would be caught easily. Zhai Sheng did not even do anything, and he was caught by Qiao Nan. “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t be caught?”

  He thought that a professional private investigator would be much easier to get caught than a student who was from Peking University. Everyone was watching the fun while the student would hide within the crowd and take photos. This might make it more difficult for him to be discovered by other people.

  Peng Yu was upset that the student only managed to take the photos for the first time. He had yet to complete his second task and he was caught red-handed by Qiao Nan. There was no way to feign ignorance.

  The male student felt wronged. “If it was Qiao Nan alone, there was no way that she could catch me. I did not expect that Xu Shengnan would return to school today. Qiao Nan pretended to attract my attention while Xu Shengnan made use of the chance to look for me. I didn’t even have the time to hide.”

  Without Xu Shengnan, Qiao Nan would not be able to catch him!

  “Hehe……” Peng Yu sneered. He did not care about the details. He only knew that the student was useless. He spent so much money on him but he did not prove his worth. He must be blind to give a huge sum of money to a useless man like him.

  “You have to help me. I work under your orders. I offended Qiao Nan in order to help you. I only learned today that the big boss of the well-known Tian Corporation is Qiao Nan’s brother-in-law. She wanted to sue me. I know that you can make sure that I will be fine. Can you find me a lawyer so that I can discuss the lawsuit with him? I did not do any evil deeds. Although I have violated the laws, it will not be very serious, no?”

  Although he tried to comfort himself, Qiao Nan and Xu Shengnan had a somber expression on their faces. It did not seem like the lawsuit could be settled easily.

  “This is the biggest joke that I have heard this year. Alright, you can have the money.” He was no longer of any use to him. Peng Yu could not possibly waste any more time and money on him. He hung up the phone on him. He took out the card from the cell phone and flushed it down the toilet bowl.

  The other party would not give up even though Peng Yu hung the phone on him. He dialed the number again but it could not get through.

  The person who paid him handsomely to work for him had no wish to remain in touch with him. If the male student did not realize that something was amiss, it would be a wonder that he could make it to Peking University. However, since he made it to Peking University based on his own efforts, his expression changed and he knew that something was wrong.

  He was reminded of Xu Shengnan’s words to him. His hands shook as he made a phone call to his father.

  His father’s expression darkened as his son told him what had happened.

  This was the capital. There were all kinds of big shots and powerful people who kept a low profile. If they provoked one or two powerful people, they would be defenseless against them. It took him great pains and a lot of hardships to become the deputy editor of the news agency.

  The deputy editor felt like vomiting blood when he heard that his career that he had worked hard for so many years might be ruined by his son.
